On the day of their marriage, Ethan's heart ached with a bittersweet mix of love and longing as he stood at the altar with Violet. He had deep feelings for her for years. But as he gazed into Violet's eyes, he knew that his love was unrequited.
Violet stood beside him, her expression unreadable as she recited her vows with a practiced ease. Ethan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness as he listened to her words, knowing that she didn't feel the same way about him. He had hoped that their contract marriage would give him a chance to win her heart, but now he realized that it was nothing more than a foolish dream.
As they exchanged rings,Ethan's hand trembled slightly, his heart heavy with the weight of his unspoken love. He knew that he was making a sacrifice for the sake of their company, but the thought of spending his life with someone who didn't love him filled him with a profound sense of loneliness.
Ethan's gaze lingered on Violet's lips, longing for a connection he knew he could never truly have. But as their lips brushed against each other in a chaste kiss, Ethan felt a surge of longing mixed with the bitter sting of reality. It was a moment he had dreamed of, yet it felt hollow, devoid of the passion and warmth he craved.
Violet's touch was gentle but distant, her lips cool against his. It was a kiss of obligation rather than desire, a symbol of their contract marriage rather than a declaration of love. And as they pulled away from each other, Ethan couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment, knowing that their relationship would never be more than a facade.
As they stepped out into the world as husband and wife, Ethan knew that he would have to bury his feelings deep within himself, lest they consume him entirely. For now, all he could do was carry on, resigned to a life of unrequited love and silent longing.
Throughout the ceremony, Ethan stole glances at Violet, drinking in her beauty with a mixture of longing and resignation. He knew that he would never be able to forget her, never be able to move on from the unrequited love that consumed him.
"I will never love you"
"Yeah, right"
As they walked down the aisle together, Ethan couldn't shake the feeling of emptiness that gnawed at his soul. He knew that their marriage was nothing more than a facade, a charade to maintain appearances. But deep down, he couldn't help but cling to a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, Violet would come to love him someday.
