She thinks it's an arranged marriage. He knows it's the real deal.
Lilou
I never thought that I would fall in love or get married.
Not after watching my mom's marriages fail and being there to help her pick up the pieces afterward.
I had sworn off men, which was easy because no man had ever tempted me before.
Not until Milo.
He makes me want to try.
I almost give in to my feelings when tragedy strikes, and I'm forced to sell the only thing that I have.
Myself.
Milo
When I find out that Lilou signed up for an arranged marriage, I freak out.
I know that she's meant to be mine, and I'm not about to lose her before I have a chance to prove that to her.
So, I pay to be her husband.
She seems shocked when she finds out, but I'm thrilled.
I have my dream girl right where I want her.
Now I just need to make her mine.
For real.
