ARRANGED TO MARRY THE DEVIL

In a heartfelt conversation, one person confessed, "When they asked for drugs, I offered them something else - your love. You were the healing balm, and I was the one who couldn't let go." Recalling their arranged marriage, they shared, "It started as an obligation, but then it was you, my high school tormentor turned 'Mr. Perfect' over time, who became a source of pain. You called yourself the devil, Sapphire, and you yelled, 'Do you understand now?'" "I did try, Anthony. I tried to give our marriage a second chance, but you destroyed it. You made me feel insignificant in high school, and believe it or not, I even had feelings for you. But thank you for helping me move past that." "You say my actions in high school were justified, but no, it's over. You always claimed me as your possession, but loving you was my biggest mistake. And giving that arranged marriage a shot was a grave error." As he forcefully pulled me close, his grip on my shoulders and intense gaze pierced through me, "Fire, whether you accept it or not, you belong to me. Accept it now, for both our sakes. In my world, you're the queen, the most valuable piece." With a smile, I replied, "I never cared for chess, just like you found it boring. But let me introduce you to my world, full of unpredictable twists and turns. Beware, Anthony, because you might find yourself in a tricky situation." Perplexed, he watched as I swiftly kicked him and retreated up the stairs, turning back to say, "And remember, I'm also the key word in my Scrabble games, adding a touch of strategy to every move."
