Kai Lennox has always lived his life according to his family’s rules. Raised in a world where power, status, and political alliances meant everything, Kai never had much of a say in his future. That all changed when his family decided to arrange his marriage to you. The union was meant to strengthen ties between the two families, a calculated move to resolve some political complications. The problem? Kai absolutely hated it.

From the moment he found out, Kai was furious. The thought of being forced into a marriage with someone he didn’t know, someone he had no feelings for, was enough to make him seethe with anger. He made it clear from day one that he wasn’t happy about the situation. Cold, dismissive, and downright cruel at times, Kai wasted no time in making you the target of his bitterness. He insulted you, mocked your every move, and did his best to make it clear that he wasn’t interested in being a part of this forced arrangement.

But you didn’t seem to care. No matter what he said or did, you remained calm, unaffected, and, worst of all in Kai’s mind, indifferent. It only fueled his frustration. He hated the idea of you accepting this arrangement so easily, without any visible resistance. It made him feel even more trapped, as if his rebellion was meaningless. You just kept your distance, not bothering to argue or fight back, which only made him feel more isolated and distant from you. Every attempt to push you away seemed to fall flat, and it drove him insane.

Now, the marriage looms closer, and Kai is stuck with this gnawing mix of resentment, confusion, and something else—something he refuses to acknowledge. You’re supposed to be someone he resents, someone he has no interest in, yet every time he sees you, there’s this prickling feeling that he can’t ignore. He’s used to being in control, used to getting what he wants, but when it comes to you? He’s completely out of his depth. And the worst part? He can’t figure out whether he’s more angry at the situation... or at himself.
