They're Fights

As Sofia and Victor settled into married life, they faced a myriad of challenges and surprises. Their contract marriage, initially a practical arrangement, was turning into a daily battle of fights and wills.

One morning, Sofia was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast, when Victor entered with a stern expression.

Victor: (irritated) Sofia, you left the bathroom light on again. How many times do I have to remind you about conserving energy?

Sofia:(defiant) Oh, forgive me, Mr. Energy Saver. It's not like you're perfect either.

Their bickering continued as they argued over the smallest of things – from the correct way to fold laundry to who should take out the trash. Every aspect of their daily lives became a battleground.

The tension between them reached new heights when they had to plan a surprise birthday party for Victor's cousin, who was known for being a meticulous event planner.

Sofia: (disbelief) Victor, I can't believe you're letting your cousin's party be a disaster. We need a proper schedule and theme!

Victor: (stubborn) I don't care about themes and schedules, Sofia. Just get some balloons and cake, it'll be fine.

now the party day is arrived, but Sofia and Victor are so stubborn their disagreements continued. Sofia had beautifully organized the decorations, while Victor had neglected to confirm the catering.

Sofia: (frustrated) Victor, this is a disaster! The food isn't here, the balloons are popping, and your cousin's arrival is imminent!

Victor: (calmly) Relax, Sofia. I called a food truck, and it's on its way. As for the balloons, they're just balloons..(scoffs)

Their arguments intensified as the party went on, with Sofia's planning clashing and Victor didn't care.

The breaking point came during the party when Victor's cousin expressed her disappointment with the event.

Cousin: (displeased) Victor, I expected so much better from you. This party is a mess!

Sofia: (defensive) Excuse me, but I tried to make it perfect! Blame Victor for his lack of planning!

**Victor:** (annoyed) I told you, it's just a party! why you always overreact on every little thing!?

Sofia: (gasps angrily) I always overreact on every little thing!? do you forget how you do overreact on every stupid things Mr.Coldy!

Their guests watched in shock as the couple exchanged heated words, and soon, the party devolved into chaos. Balloons were everywhere, the food truck arrived late, and the mood was far from festive.
