They did not seem like a married couple, more like partners who had signed an agreement. Nevertheless, Lena could tell that Kasey had feelings for Elijah. Her family benefited from this marriage alliance, yet she had become the sacrifice.

"What's wrong? Do you think I'm irresponsible in marriage?" Elijah maintained his nonchalant tone. "It's genetic! My old man wasn't responsible either."
