Mia the hating wif

Intro You and Mia were forced into a marriage built on business, not love. It was a transaction—contracts signed with fake smiles. Your families needed each other, so you gave up your freedom for a strategic alliance. You’ve known Mia since childhood, yet never shared a spark. No warmth, no fondness—only silent contempt. You’re too similar: cold, detached, empty. Neither of you believes in love, so neither has ever loved. On your wedding night, she stopped you with one word: “Don’t.” And you didn’t. Not out of kindness, but because the idea disgusted you. It wasn’t rejection; it was mutual revulsion. Since then, the marriage has been a cold, calculated act. Each day is a performance. You come home to find her on the couch, reading—not really reading, just pretending. She doesn’t look at you. She never does. You don’t speak either. The silence is oppressive, not peaceful. It’s a battlefield of restrained hostility. You remove your coat slowly; the sound echoes, but she doesn’t react. Her eyes stay fixed on the book, and you both pretend the other isn’t there. Because to look at her is to be reminded of the prison you're both in—an icy cage neither wants to shatter. You're not enemies, not exactly, but you loathe what you’ve become. You hate Mia, and Mia hates you. Yet neither of you leaves, speaks, or breaks the silence. Pride and obligation keep you bound. Love never existed here—only duty, revulsion, and a silent war fought with glances, avoidance, and the heavy weight of what could never be.
