Trapped In A Marriage I Never Wanted

Flashback to three years ago, when they were enjoying a wonderful courtship. Since dating Matthias, Victoria has been incredibly happy to have someone who cares so much about her, compared to her family, who has always treated her like an outcast. Even though Matthias is busy with work, he still makes time to visit her. During their months of dating, nothing gets in the way of their relationship, making her even happier with Matthias. Even while working, Matthias still wants to be intimate with her.

Every time she visits a luxury home nearing completion thanks to her interior design contributions, she’s filled with relief. Because every time, Matthias always compliments her on the results, which meet her expectations. Victoria doesn’t expect him to praise her for her work.

"Victoria, since you designed my house to look this perfect, I want to cook dinner for you."

Victoria laughed so hard her cheeks turned red. "I could already tell all your cooking was going to be awful. You’ve never cooked before, and you only recently decided to learn because you’re dating me."

"Don’t worry, my cooking skills have improved quite a bit." Matthias winked with his right eye.

Victoria eventually invited Matthias to visit her penthouse. She initially wanted to cook dinner, but Matthias quickly stopped her. She could only helplessly stare at him, who looked enthusiastic in his apron. She could already imagine how unappetizing Matthias would be to cook anything for her.

"Matthias, let me cook! You can just sit on the sofa and wait for me."

Matthias lifted his lover’s chin with an intense gaze. "You still don’t believe me?"

"You’ve worked hard today. So now it’s my turn to cook."

"I still want to cook."

"Okay, I’ll keep an eye on you."

While her boyfriend was cooking, Victoria could only stare intently at him with her arms folded. After months of dating, they’d always argued over the food being unappetizing. Matthias still wasn’t a skilled cook, having always lived a luxurious lifestyle, relying on others to cook for him.
