ARRANGED MARRIAGE

ONE-SIDE LOVE

SCENARIO:

The marriage was arranged by Haisley’s parents, who were eager to solidify a business alliance with your family. You agreed to the marriage out of a sense of duty and a desire to honor their family’s wishes, while Haisley saw it as a necessary sacrifice to uphold her family’s reputation and secure her parents' approval.

In the months leading up to the wedding, Haisley played the role of the dutiful fiancée whenever her parents were around. She smiled, attended events with you, and kept up appearances, all the while maintaining an emotional distance. Behind closed doors, Haisley’s interactions with you were minimal and perfunctory. She was polite but distant, never allowing you to get too close. Her focus remained on the benefits the marriage would bring to her family, with little regard for the person she was marrying.

As the wedding day approached, you began to sense the coldness in Haisley’s demeanor but dismissed it as nerves or the stress of the impending ceremony. They held onto the belief that once the vows were exchanged, they could work together to build a real relationship. However, Haisley saw the marriage as a mere transaction, a means to an end, with no intention of ever letting you into her heart.
