Not My Choice
Chapter 1
Before the day of marriage
At Night
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
*Sobbing* I don't want to marry him. He doesn't love me. I don't want to being called contract wife
Her Father:- Sophia, we understand your feelings, but marrying him is an opportunity we cannot pass up. His wealth will secure a prosperous future for you and for us.
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
I know, Father, that you want the best for our family. But what about love? What about happiness? I can't marry him when my heart belongs to someone else.
Her mom:- Sophia, love is important, but it doesn't put food on the table or ensure a comfortable life. We've struggled for so long. This is a chance for you to have a secure and bright future
Sophia nodded, understanding her parents' perspective, but her resolve remained unshaken
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
I don't want to live a life where I'm just a pawn in a financial game. I want to be with the person I love, and I want to build a life based on genuine affection, not just money
Her mother:- Sophia, we've made sacrifices for you, and this is how you repay us? Your stubbornness and selfishness will lead to ruin.
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
But mom *Looking down*
Her father:- Enough of this nonsense, Sophia. You will marry him, and that's final. *Almost shout*
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
*Crying her pain out* I'll never forgive you.
Sophia couldn't help feeling the weight of the difficult choice she was about to make. Her heart yearned for love, but her relationship with her parents had soured, making the decision even more painful.
It was their wedding day, and stood in her white gown. She looked radiant, but she felt uneasy. She knew her heart didn't truly belong to the man beside her.
The ceremony was grand, with many guests and traditions. Ryan, her new husband, seemed impatient and irritated by the formalities. When they exchanged vows, he rushed through them. His arrogance was evident.
Sophia, in her gown, whispered her vows with sincerity.
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
I do *Softly*
During the reception, Ryan ignored Sophia. He focused on business associates and deals. She felt isolated and neglected.
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
(I miss you zaviar) *Sobbing*
Alone for a moment, she looked out over the city. Tears welled up as she thought about the love she had left behind and the loveless marriage she had entered.
Sophia found herself in her husband bedroom on the night of her wedding. He was all silence so as Sophia.
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
*Silent *
Ryan, her newlywed husband, was a man who carried himself with an air of dominance, and she was beginning to grasp the extent of his rudeness
Sophia feeling like a scared child who had lost her way. The heavy silence in the room was broken by Ryan's piercing stare.
William Thornton (Fl husband)
Listen Sophia *Cold*
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
*Look at him with red eyes*
William Thornton (Fl husband)
In public, you're my wife, and we'll play our parts. But behind these closed doors, you're to stay out of my way and not interfere with my affairs. *Cold*
Sophia's voice trembled as she tried to find her place in this new reality
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
Ryan, I just want to understand. Why did you marry me if you don't want to give me the love and respect I deserve? *scared*
William Thornton (Fl husband)
Deserve? You talk as if you had any say in the matter. This marriage serves my interests, not your desires. *Cold*
Sophia, despite her stubborn spirit, felt a deepening sense of vulnerability. She dared to stand her ground, even as fear crept into her voice.
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
I won't be silenced, Ryan. I won't forget the love I left behind
William Thornton (Fl husband)
Love? *Sneered*
Ryan's arrogance knew no bounds. He leaned in closer, his face mere inches from hers.
William Thornton (Fl husband)
You will be silenced, Sophia. Your life now belongs to me, whether you like it or not.
His words struck fear into Sophia's heart. She hadn't imagined that this marriage, which had promised love and happiness, would become a prison of someone's dominance and her silence.
The realization that her fight for love and respect was more difficult than she had ever anticipated left her trembling.
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
Ryan i...
Before she could speak, He grabbed Sophia by the arm and pushed her out of the room, his action forceful and terrifying. The door slammed shut, leaving Sophia standing in the dimly lit corridor, tears streaming down her face
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
What did I do to deserve this life. *Crying silently*
She had tried to speak up and stand her ground in front of Ryan, but he had reacted with rage. In a fit of anger, he had kicked her out of the room and locked the door.
The chilly air of the corridor cut through her wedding gown, leaving her trembling from both the cold and the harsh reality she now faced. She was alone, isolated, and shivering in more ways than one.
Huddled in a corner, her stomach growled with hunger. She had hoped for a loving and warm beginning to her married life, but instead, she was trapped in the corridor, yearning for a kind word or gesture from her husband.
Sophia's pleas for mercy fell on deaf ears. Ryan remained inside, arrogant and unyielding. He didn't even open the door to acknowledge her presence. It was as if she were unworthy of his attention.
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
Ryan, please, I'm cold and hungry. Can we not start our marriage on a gentler note?
William Thornton (Fl husband)
You were warned, Sophia. You've crossed the line. You can stay out there, till you understand how to be obedient one.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized the extent of her husband's cruelty.
With each passing hour, the door remained closed, and Sophia's hope for any kindness from Ryan waned
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
*Standing there while trembling*
As night fell, she had no choice but to spend the night outside the locked doorHer wedding gown became a heavy shroud, and she curled into a small, cold ball on the floor, tears drying on her cheeks.
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
*Close her eyes*
Sophia Caldwell (Fl)
(Please forgive me Zaviar) *Crying*
