Simon riley x reader arranged marriage.
this is me backtracking. not part one yet but this is more like a deep dive into how the arranged marriage plan escalated. sorry!
there is also an introduction to the story, sorry if the order of the storyline is very messy its my first ever time figuring this out.
please bear with me if there are any Grammar mistakes or punctuation since English is not my first language!
also, thank you so much for the interactions and support on my previous aka my first ever post!
ever since you were a child, you were forced to be 'mature', 'responsible', often leading to you hearing people compliment on the fact. not knowing how much you despised the misery you lived throughout a stolen childhood.
your mother, the gentlest soul you've ever met, would lock you in the small room beside the living room before your father came home. where her soft perfume lingers in the walls and her screams of agonies bled through the same walls as you tried to muffle the screams of your own, anxiety and waves of panic spiking through your little frame.
the next day, you'd wake up, and slowly wander to the kitchen to find your father grinning down at you ear to ear despite what had happened the last night. your mother still passed out on the corner of the living room. his face was eerily joyous, overly perfect teeth aligned so properly as he lectured on about how lucky you were to have him provide and protect.
thinking back now, you wanted to disappear from the surface of the earth knowing you carried an undeniable part of him as his daughter. a tie that cannot be physically broken.
you had to marry simon as a business arrangement, simon's father had met your father at a pub, both clicking almost instantly as their similarities formed a connection where simon's devil of a father planned for a marriage, hoping it'd put simon's life even more miserable than it already is. he had pulled at a few ropes around simon's military career and trapped him further with a marriage. much to his encouragement, your father was well on board with the plan. he wanted you off his radar and possibly forever gone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
at first he was hostile, completely aloof and mysterious. simon did not like you. and he still doubts he does when he sees you roam around his house...it felt like an invasion to his quite and very private life that he cherished. isolation has become his sanctuary and now you were ruining it in his eyes. though he knew that you were not completely at fault, but he despised you for how you didn't care at all.
usually other women would either throw themselves at him or completely ignore him. but you didn't. you seem to be stuck in the same hellhole as him and he saw the emotionlessness in your eyes when your father would make random appearances to 'check up' on the couple-to-be.
however, ever since you managed to get yourself into the same taskforce 141's base as simon thanks to your abilities as an excellent medic, simon and you were able to form a pact. he'd drive you both to the base and you'd make sure to drive back home. he'd prepare the food for the both of you whilst you would make sure that all documents were ready for you two for a quick divorce as soon as the contract ends.
it wasn't anything close to romance, more like a tolerable acquaintance into a life you both never fully accepted....
