Having your partner chosen for you wasn't always a bad thing. Sometimes the relationship worked out, but only if you can learn to love the person you have been set to marry to. But in most cases it just didn't work out, like with him. He had been betrothed to the girl for almost three years, and he never learned to love her. It was as simple as that, he just didn't love her. And she didn't love him either, all she had felt was lust, something that if they had gotten married, would eventually make their lives a living hell. Besides it was clear she loved another person and now she would he happy to hear that she would no longer be betrothed to him. That she would be able to marry the other guy whom she truly loved, and she would be happy with him.
Right now he was sure his parents would react horribly to the news of him loving a muggleborn, but they would have to get over it. Even if they didn't he had other ways of making them forget about the whole thing. Besides marrying another pureblood, his parents wanted him to become someone important in the Wizarding World. That is something he would be able to complete for them, he would become someone important, or as important someone like him could get. His family was somewhat high in the ranks of society so he would be able to get a good job, probably in the Ministry, so he wasn't worried about work. As he heard her say something about her parents wanting her to marry a doctor or a lawyer, he felt himself smile. "Then, I'll just have to become one of those, probably a lawyer though." he said. "My family is at a higher rank in the Ministry, so I can work there without a problem." he told her as he placed his head down on her shoulder.
There were plenty of opportunities for him in the Ministry because of his family. He'd never paid much
attention to the influences his father always had while he was on businesses with him. But he knew just how influential the man was, and even if he wasn't following what he was supposed to in who he married, he was sure Miles would support him all the way when he told him that he was going to work at the Ministry. As Atticus looked at Kiara a question suddenly ran though his mind. "Kiara, if you were to be married with me, would you do it?" he asked her. He knew it sounded a bit strange, because she had already said something about marrying him, but it dawned on him that once everything was settled in his relationship with her, Miles and Jessica would plan a wedding between the two of then, because he was after all turning eighteen soon.
