Winona never in her life dreamed she'd get stuck in such an arrangement, nor that she'll end up married, ever. The young woman was so career-driven and wanted to prove herself as a good lawyer that a husband wasn't really an option. But as she grew older and realized how far and deep their family company's work went into the criminal world, she got tangled in it all in the process. And when things got ugly, a proposal was made, the one where no one asked anything between the bride and the groom.
Even though Ethan was really nice to look at , she didn't know him and hating the situation she was forced into, Winona hated him, too. It seemed like he felt the same, as the two avoided each other as much as they could before the wedding. And even as they began living together in the luxurious home of his, they tried to avoid each other but their paths crossed more here and there, they would start talking more, first on business-related stuff and then the conversation only got broader from there.
One late night she was stuck in the office she asked him to make for her on the ground floor, looking through some case files her brother dropped of earlier today. Ethan was out, told her not to wait up for him, and she never really did, they didn't even share the bedroom. But she lost track of time when there was loud noise coming from the corridor and it made her get up. She wore simple leggings and a one colored shirt, pretty laid back attire for her home office and got out carefully, barefoot walking across the marble floor when she then noticed Ethan by the stairs, blood covering his face and he looked a bit out of place. "Christ, what the hell happened?"she rushed to his side. "Hey, look at me, Ethan - do I have to call the doctor? How bad is it?"she asked and took hold of his arm, wrapping it around her slim shoulders and helping him stand at least a little bit. "Come on, lets go upstairs, there's first aid kit somewhere in the bathroom."
