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.
