Reminiscing about the day after the wedding she felt sympathy .
Sympathy for the man who poured all his heart and soul into making a vain attempt to capture her heart .
____________________________________
A woman in red cheongsam was looking around the house .
'He is as poor as a church mouse . ' she smirked .
'How was my dad even willing to marry me with this man in the first place?'
Having already investigated him, Ira knew that Vivan was a struggling architect with almost no money in his name instead owing loads of debts .
The apartment was much smaller than she expected .
'He needed to take a loan for this rundown place!'
It was beautifully designed she could not refute, but it had only two rooms and a hall with an open kitchen .
One was the bedroom, the other a small study .
He moved out of his mom's place a year ago .
Then again she will never live with her Mother in law .
Now she could guess the reason for marriage . Her husband was dirt poor young and struggling . He would have the support of Lu's after the wedding .
In the bedroom, she replaced the red cheongsam with a comfortable pajama .
Her eyes were soon captured by a photo placed on the bedside table .
It was the wedding pic . In the photo, she was wearing a white wedding gown holding a bouquet in her hands . While Vivan was holding her waist from behind . The action looked natural and intimate .
His face was distinct with clear and a gentle smiling eyes .
While Her face showed no expression, showing her habitual indifference .
It would have looked like a couple who loved each other only if her face held a smile instead of a frown .
Dead tired she went slept unconsciously when she noticed someone's arrival in the room .
She sat up in an upright position quick and said words: "Why are you here?"
Ignorant of the changing expression on his face she briefly added: "I will sleep here . You sleep in the study . "
Vivan stood dumbfounded at her words "Ira, We need to talk . I know we haven't known each other for long but . . . . " There was a touch of bitterness in his voice .
"I am exhausted . Can we talk tomorrow? Please get out now . " Though her words included a please, her tone like a queen ordering a servant full of Irony .
The cold words which fell on his ears in an instant ruined his passion, his desire, his hope .
He expected some problems at the beginning of marriage because they have not interacted much so she would hold some wrong notions about him . Their wedding was a quick one, a blind date with marriage fixed on the same day .
And in a week they were engaged and married .
But still, he did not anticipate that she will brush him aside on the wedding night . Treat him so coldly .
Even during the wedding, her attitude was forlorn and indifferent .
'There is still time' he thought and went to spend the night in the study .
If it weren't for the sake of her father urging her repeatedly to marry, she wouldn't have been married to Vivan .
For the sake of appeasing her dad accomplish her mission of timing a CEO .
If not Vivan there would be another . Marriage match won't end .
In return, she decided to support this man financially as he looked struggling .
She would provide him with funds for the new architecture firm that he had started and even give him some contacts .
Thus she felt that the relation between them was more of a business transaction . There should be no love or attachments involved .
