Doubt

Arna braced herself for the worst when she agreed to the marriage, but her husband surprised her by becoming the best she'd ever known. Despite her clear plans not to fall, she found herself falling for him.

She knew that loving him meant locking herself into a patriarchal family, dropping her only dream: independence which she had tirelessly pursued all her life.

It boiled down to a harsh binary: either him or her independence.

I wish he hadn't married me, hadn't fallen in love with me. I wish... I hadn't been born for him.
