ITACHI SIGHS as he looks at himself in the mirror. The day he dreaded unfortunately came already. This will forever be embedded in his head. The day he hates the most. The day were he would marry you. Unfortunately for the next heir of the Uchiha clan, he had to marry you. The woman he didn't love at all. It's not that he hates you, it's just that he doesn't love you.

The cruelty of the things his clan did to him... it's exhausting. Why was he even going to settle when he can't even marry the woman he loved? Izumi. Her name is so warm on his tongue, like the gentle rays of light seeping through the windows. It was so warm, like home.

But he didn't feel at home anymore, for he was marrying you. It feels unfair that his parents are truly for each other wherein he couldn't even choose who to marry. The curse of being the heir for his clan is already eating him alive. He truly did love his clan. He did, it's just that he feels unfair when it comes to him.

Welp it was true.

[name] Uchiha. That name, a beautiful one rather, made his stomach churn. The bad kind of way. It was bitter. The bitter feeling until today makes him annoyed. He didn't love you. Never will. He knows that you know and he intends to keep it that way.

Never will he love you.

Sighing once more at his thoughts, he fixes his clothes a few times, soothing out the creases and he heads out to the ceremony hall. Gosh was it a perfect season to get married. Although the perfect season, he wasn't happy.

He saw Izumi along the way, walking to where he supposedly has to meet you and he bitterly smiles at her as she gazes at him sadly. There were tears forming in her eyes and he wishes to wipe them away but he couldn't. That would cause a scandal and he doesn't want that happening.

If his father knew his thoughts, he would gravely be disappointed.

Removing his gaze from her teary ones, he composed himself. Lips forming into a thin line while you finally walk down the aisle.

Gosh, you would be drop dead gorgeous in his eyes if he truly did love you. The sad reality is that he doesn't.

And the wedding went on. Fake vows being said, along with a fake kiss and a fake smile towards the bride. Briefly, did he glare at her when nobody was looking and did you see it, your gaze turning elsewhere as your lips slowly lost it's curved lines.

You were married to the man you love, yet you weren't happy. This was supposed to be a happy day yet why do you feel so down? 

Right. He didn't love you at all and he never will.

The thought made you sad, a tinge of guiltiness along the lines as you realize you're giving him a marriage he isn't happy of. A marriage that promised you to stay by his side even when he doesn't want you.

Like they said, till death do us part right? Amazing. You were stuck with a guy that doesn't even want to do anything with you. You knew he despises you and he knows that you know but what more can you do as a mere wife who was also forced into this marriage? Nothing.

The stupid piece of paper was signed before you even got the chance to protest. Why? You were sold to them by your parents. Uchihas that are the enemies of the very same clan you were born to.

The bitter feeling will always eat you alive. You couldn't believe it. You've dealt enough with mommy and daddy issues yet you couldn't even escape them. A will even though they haven't died yet as they're stuck inside a room where they stood polar opposites with chains and bars around them.

And the wedding, and him- him. Itachi Uchiha. You've always known him, he just didn't choose to acknowledge your presence too much. But why did you even fall in love with him? Maybe it was the way he offered you comfort unintentionally or company when you were alone.
