His unwanted bride ✔️

Ailzeh wasn't supposed to be here.

She had finished early, decided to surprise him.

But as she stepped into his office, her smile froze.

A woman stood too close, laughing, her hand on his arm. And Saad-he didn't push her away.

His gaze met hers, panic flashing in his eyes. "Ailzeh-"

She turned and walked away.

He caught up in the elevator. "Let me explain-"

"Don't." Her voice was deadly quiet.

"Ailzeh, it's not-"

"I don't care." The doors slid open. She left.


---

At home, her hands trembled as she pulled out a contract.

Her name. His name.

"Marriage is a business agreement. Divorce upon completion of terms."

Her breath hitched. A choked laugh slipped past her lips.

The door burst open. "Ailzeh-"

She turned, eyes burning.

Saad paled at the contract in her hands.

"You were going to divorce me," she whispered.

"Ailzeh, listen-"

She threw the papers at him. "Tell me I'm wrong!"

He flinched. "I-"

She laughed bitterly. "You can't."

"I never planned to go through with it-"

"Oh? So you strung me along instead?" Her voice cracked.

Pain flickered across his face. "Ailzeh-"

"I trusted you." Her voice was hoarse, thick with betrayal.
