Have a good reading!
Sonya
"I always hated my husband..."
Sonya
"We were kind of forced to this marriage. Both of us needed it, but none of us wanted it"
Sonya
"And so... He was always cold, I never had the chance to understand what was on his mind"
Sonya
"He was awful to me. We fought a lot"
Sonya
*Takes a deep breath*
Sonya
"I wanted all of this to end. I always longed for an escape"
Sonya
"I needed the money and he needed a wife to avoid being suspicious"
Sonya
"But in the end it was a just terrible mistake"
Sonya
"Something that should have never happened"
Sonya
"I never wanted him to die"
Sonya
"I wasn't serious when I said that..."
Wild author
Heyyy, thanks for reading!

Chapters will be much longer than this one, this is just the prologue:3
The meeting
Grandma
*Fixing Sonya's hair*
Grandma
Oh, dear. You have to look perfect for him. Remember we need the money
Sonya
*annoyed*
I hope he trips on his way here
Grandma
*Slapping the back of her head*
Grandma
Don't speak like that! Do you want to end up on the streets?!
Sonya
*unbothered*
Maybe he'll fall from the stairs
Sonya
Grandma, this is all your doing, not mine! I don't want to marry a man I don't know just because Grandpa had a gambling addiction!
Grandma
We've already talked about this
Grandma
Nothing much can be done. With his company you also inherited his debts
Grandma
Besides it's time for you to find a man. You're already 24
Sonya
*Turning to her, fuming*
Sonya
That is rich coming from you!
Grandma
*Adjusts her hair*
I'm not old, I'm vintage
Sonya
*Raising her eyebrow*
Grandma
Shut up! He's coming
Sonya
"I wasn't even talking...🙄"
At the end of the hallway, a tall handsome man stood with a cold expression
Richard
*Walking up to them*
Richard
*Looking down on Sonya*
Richard
At least they found a decent looking one
Sonya
"I'm not just decent!"
Sonya
*Smirks and cross her arms*
Sonya
I can't say the same thing
Sonya
"He actually looks pretty good, but he's never going to hear it from me"
Richard
Good. At least you won't fall for me
Sonya
That was already out of question
Richard
You're the fierce kitty type, aren't you?
Sonya
*Looks up with confidence*
Sonya
More like a panther than a kitten
Richard
You'll break soon enough
Sonya
*Blinking twice, almost intimidated*
Sonya
... Who do you take me for?
Richard
As my soon-to-be wife
Richard
*Walks away, surpassing her*
Grandma
*Fretting over herself*
Grandma
Umm, sir? Does this mean you accept the marriage?
Wild author
Sorry for the poor image quality. It's quite hard to find a red haired man with glasses 🥺
Wild author
But I imagined him like that in my head, so I couldn't compromise 😃
Wild author
I guess there won't be many images in this story. Hope it won't be a problem 💜
A particular job
That evening both families organized a dinner to get to know each other better
Sonya
"This place is spooky, I can't believe I'll have to live here"
Sonya
*grumbling*
"I want to add some flowers around so bad!"
Sonya
"It would look less grim"
Richard
*Reading her expression*
Richard
I guess you could go back to your house if you don't like it here
Richard
Assuming you •do• have a house
Sonya
*Glaring at him*
I do, and it's way bigger and fancier than this one
Richard
And yet you're loosing it
Sonya
That's my grandfather's fault!
Richard
*Quickly peek at her*
What about your parents?
Richard
Just like our marriage
Sonya
"Was that supposed to be a joke?!"
Richard
*Sigh*
Have a seat
Grandma
*Sitting at the table with some difficulty due to her age*
Grandma
"This place is so grim, what's with this family?"
Sonya
*Looking disappointed at the red tiny crystals carefully placed on the roses, resembling blood*
Sonya
"That's straight up creepy wtf"
Grandma
Sir, I'm sorry, but what about your family?
Richard
Ah, yes.
*Gesturing to the door*
Two masked men, almost identical entered the room
Sonya
"Well, hello there💅"
Sonya
"No, you fool"
*Thinking to herself*
Sonya
"I'm marrying the grumpy one, not them"
Grandma
Are they your family?
Richard
I don't have any relative, not anymore
Richard
They are my bodyguards and the ones I trust the most
Richard
Therefore my family
Grandma
I am sorry to hear that
Sonya
*Snapping back to reality*
Sonya
*quite shocked*
You lost all of your relatives?
Richard
Some of them died, but I cut off the remaining ones
Sonya
"But it is, since he's soon going to be my husband"
The twins sit quietly at the table
Grandma
So... *clears her voice*
Grandma
What do you do for a living?
They knew they were underlying criminals but not to what extend
Sonya
*Chokes on her food*
Grandma
*Manages to keep a smile while dying inside*
John
*Playing with his cutlery knife*
Sonya
*Drink a sip of wine to wash off her nervousness*
Richard
Are we going to call of the engagement?
Richard
*Raises an eyebrow*
Grandma
*Rushing to him*
No, no, no. You see my niece just got scared a bit. No need to worry
Richard
*Looking down at her*
Richard
She said what she said
Grandma
Just say something!
Sonya
Oh, come on! Now you're asking me too much. I didn't plan to marry a stranger, let alone a murderer!
Grandma
Just stop with the nonsense-
Richard
John, Jake, bring me the contract
Wild author
It's just a job like another
Wild author
I don't see the problem 🙄
Wild author
(I'm joking, plz don't call the police on me💀)
