Chapter 1
The night Jakob and Neva get married, they both don’t know what to say…
𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒶 ℬℯ𝓇𝒾-𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(She walked beside him, not knowing what to say, it felt awkward)
𝒥𝒶𝓀ℴ𝒷 𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(He looked at her, it had started to rain already. He held an umbrella over her)
They both get into a limo, which is very quiet, after a few minutes, they arrive at Jakob’s mansion.
𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒶 ℬℯ𝓇𝒾-𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(She was shocked, she had grown up in a big house, but nothing like this) wow…
𝒥𝒶𝓀ℴ𝒷 𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(He looked at her, thinking) My personal butler will show you around…
They walked inside, Jakob walked up the stairs, his posture was perfect, everything about him was perfect, Neva thought.
ℬ𝓊𝓉𝓁ℯ𝓇 (ℱ𝓇ℯ𝒶𝒹)
Hello, you must be young masters wife.
𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒶 ℬℯ𝓇𝒾-𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
Yes. (She gave him a small nod)
ℬ𝓊𝓉𝓁ℯ𝓇 (ℱ𝓇ℯ𝒶𝒹)
Well, I must show you around.
The butler showed Neva around, she was amazed by all the riches and paintings… he led her to the bedroom
𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒶 ℬℯ𝓇𝒾-𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(She walked into the bedroom)
𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒶 ℬℯ𝓇𝒾-𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(She saw Jakob standing, looking out the window. She walked beside him)
𝒥𝒶𝓀ℴ𝒷 𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(He didn’t turn his head to look at her, he was lost in his thoughts)
𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒶 ℬℯ𝓇𝒾-𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(She touched his arm) I’m sorry. I know you weren’t looking forward to marrying me.
𝒥𝒶𝓀ℴ𝒷 𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(He looked at her and sighed) I loved another woman. My father didn’t like her… that’s why he arranged this marriage. I have nothing against you.
𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒶 ℬℯ𝓇𝒾-𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(She looked at him) can you promise me one thing?
𝒥𝒶𝓀ℴ𝒷 𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(He looked at her)
𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒶 ℬℯ𝓇𝒾-𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
Can we try to make this work? (She asks softly)
Chapter 2
In the morning, Jakob woke up
𝒥𝒶𝓀ℴ𝒷 𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(He looks and sees Neva next to him)
𝒥𝒶𝓀ℴ𝒷 𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
So pretty… (he says, smiling, thinking she is asleep)
𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒶 ℬℯ𝓇𝒾-𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(A small smile creeps onto her face)
𝒥𝒶𝓀ℴ𝒷 𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(He notices and smiles) You’re awake…
𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒶 ℬℯ𝓇𝒾-𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(She sits up in the bed and nods) It feels weird…
𝒥𝒶𝓀ℴ𝒷 𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(He tilts his head) what feels weird?
𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒶 ℬℯ𝓇𝒾-𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
Us being married… (she says, looking up at him) I never thought I’d marry someone that was so… (she looks around) well off…
𝒥𝒶𝓀ℴ𝒷 𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(He nods) I know. It feels like. (He looks out the window) I’ll go to work. My mother will most likely be here. (He says before leaving)
𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒶 ℬℯ𝓇𝒾-𝒩ℴ𝓋ℯ
(After he leaves, she sits down on the couch)
