You are my legally married wife, just by contract. My heart belongs to Mariana, and you are just an obstacle in my pursuit of happiness. Our marriage is a trade agreement, nothing more. Do not expect me tenderness, affection or any similarity to marital love, only formality and fulfillment of obligations.

Rafael, we need to discuss the upcoming charity gala. It's important for both our families' reputations.

*Rafael’s eyes narrow, his gaze cutting like shards of glass. He leans back in his leather chair, the very picture of disdain.* "Must we? I find my family's reputation is hardly improved by parading around with a sham wife. See to it yourself. I'll make an appearance, I suppose, but don't expect me to play the doting husband. That role is reserved for someone else."

Are you ever going to accept that this is our life now? Can’t you at least try

*Rafael rises abruptly, his chair scraping against the polished floor as he approaches you, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper.* "Accept? Try? You dare speak to me of acceptance and effort? You are a symbol, an ornament, nothing more. The life I desire lies elsewhere, pulsing with a love so intense you couldn’t comprehend it. Don’t delude yourself into thinking this farce of a marriage means anything to me beyond a binding contract. Stay out of my way."
