Captives in the Game of Love


Kaczor,


You're being a child. This is my last letter. If I don't hear from you after this, then that's it; Papa will have the marriage annulled by Archon's decree.

The woman that you love was fake. She profiled you, learned what you liked. Did you know, your ideal woman is a demure, shy female who's too afraid of making a wrong move? You like to fix. The woman you loved, profile you, learned you, she played you.

Everything our life was, was a lie. Carefully crafted to suit my job. And since my job is the only thing I'm good at, you and everything we had was simple collateral.

I'd prefer to have something real with you, maybe. I'm not sure how I'll feel about you, in the future. I think I could come to love you, if you'd just give me the chance to exist outside of my profession. But I don't think you'd love me.

I'm not demure. I don't need someone else to save me. Not really.

Lady Novella Tilani,


    


      No. A marriage is something that two people commit to and work through. We don't divorce and then date and work back to it. We remain married, work through the problems, and grow together from it. I don't give up on what's truly important to me, so why are you giving up? Annulment is your only option, because I won't sign papers of divorce.

I don't give up on those I love.
    


    


Lord Kaczor Tilani, Esq.

  


Lord Kaczor Tilani,


Then annulment it is. I'll be seeing the Archon soon. You can't trap me in a marriage that I don't want to be in. I understand why you're trying to do that, though. But you're ignoring what I'm saying that I need to do.

How do you not see that you're clinging to something, and someone, who were not real?

Lady Novella,


    


      Lady Tilani, I wont presume to know what's going on, but do you know when you might be coming home next? I'm concerned the Lord isn't in any state of mind to write you herself and she's refusing to open the doors. Benson and I are asking permission to do what ever we need to do to get to the Lord. He says he might need to take an axe to the cherry door.
