"huh...? what happened?" I spoke as he detached himself from me and suddenly just got up from the bed. He stood there for a second and ate up the space between him and the door with long strides.

An arrangement where the two people getting married don't know each other. A marriage done for the sake of trust, promise, position and power. Bella, who married him for the sake of her parents; Calvin who married her for the sake of his position. Calvin has no intentions for love as he thinks it's a poison for him—like lysosomes—the suicidal bag of a cell; but for her, it's finding oneself. Bella made her decision to make the marriage work for her parents, while Calvin doesn't care for her—or so she thinks. Their thoughts always end up with the same question —will this marriage work? Or will they end up being strangers who were once married? For all the deets, jump into 'marriage?' by author annie:)
