"A Reluctant Bride"
Prompt: Today, Kaitlyn Mason is marrying Theodore O’Neill to secure a peace treaty. Theodore told her he hates her and left her alone in their bedroom. After that, she spent the whole day wandering around the castle, overseeing the wedding preparations. At one point, since everyone believes they’re marrying for love, Theodore is forced to kiss her passionately in front of all the servants. Then the wedding takes place, and at one moment Kaitlyn tries to escape from the event. Theodore follows her, pins her against the wall, grabs her chin and angrily demands to know why the hell she’s running away. As the guests approach, he kisses her again. As soon as they leave, she shoves him away with all her strength. Kaitlyn is a beautiful, petite girl with blue eyes and thick black hair styled in a half-up ponytail. Theodore is a tall young man with black hair and a pair of silver strands — a mark of the heir in his family — dark gray eyes, a mole under one eye, and sharp eyebrows.
