For Better, For Worse: The Serpent’s Contract Wife

For Better, For Worse: The Serpent’s Contract Wife

[18+ | Mature Content | Dark Romance] Anastasia Morri has lived a fairytale life as a mafia princess, sheltered from the world of blood and violence. But everything changed when her sister was brutally murdered. Two years later, her own father sells Anastasia to the same man responsible for her sister’s death. "Zade Salvero" The most feared and ruthless Don of Hightower City, infamously known as the Serpent, with a smile that can make your skin crawl, and words as deadly as the poison that runs through his veins. On paper, Anastasia is his beloved bride. Yet in truth, she's nothing but his "property". This is a fate she can’t escape because daughters only obediently nod their heads and do as they are told, but not Anastasia… She is a caged spitfire that won’t bend easily. "You may have bought me, Don Salvero, but you have no idea what you've brought into your home.” "Then I suppose I'll enjoy finding out, Mrs. Salvero." Anastasia knew one thing then... the only way she'd come out of this was in a body bag. Not without dragging him down with her first. For better, for worse? Oh, please... this is dead or alive. ********** Excerpt: I whipped my head and found a wall of chest. Lifting my gaze, it belonged to Zade. I jerked away, but my back slammed against the wall faster than I could blink. He caged me with his massive frame, pointing his gun beneath my chin. "You really don't know when to behave, do you?" Suddenly, we heard movement, and when someone came around to shoot at us, Zade pulled the trigger first, and the body dropped with a loud thud. I struggled to break free, but his hand wrapped around my throat, not in a threatening way but with an intent to snap my neck. I went utterly still, my broad eyes staring into those hollow ones of his. A violent shiver ran through me when his gun moved along my exposed thigh, the heat from it felt like fire licking across my skin. "You should've run to me, kitten." "I-I-I didn't have a choice...!" I rasped when the muzzle of his gun grazed my panties. Zade leaned in closer, murmuring against my lips. "Yes you did, but you chose the wrong one." He took my bottom lip between his teeth, and something heavy crawled up my spine, something I couldn't describe. "Now I'm gonna teach you what happens when you defy me." ~ A/N: This is a work of fiction.

Sixteen poems
The following are some of the more classic sixteen poems (selected from the reference materials): 1. **"Linjiang Immortal·Dream after the tower high lock" Song Dynasty: Yan Ji Road **: Dream after the tower high lock, sober curtain drooping. Last spring, I hated to come back. Falling flower man stands alone, slight rain swallows fly in pairs. I remember when Xiao Ping first met, her heart was heavy and her words were Luo Yi. On the strings of lute I say I miss you. At that time, the bright moon was still there, shining on the colorful clouds. 2. Song Dynasty: Su Shi [Shuidiao Ge Tou]: When will the bright moon appear? I take my wine and ask the blue sky. I wonder what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to go back with the wind, but I'm afraid it's too cold to be high in Qionglou Yuyu. Dancing and making clear the shadow, how can it seem to be in the world? Turn to the vermilion pavilion, low Qi door, light sleepless. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye to the round? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has its ups and downs. It is difficult to complete this since ancient times. I hope that people will live long, thousands of miles away to share the moon. 3. **"Jin Se" Tang Dynasty: Li Shangyin **: The Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, and each string and column miss the year of Hua. Zhuang Sheng dreamed of butterflies in his dreams, and the emperor's spring heart entrusted cuckoo. The moon in the vast sea has tears, and the sun in the blue field is warm and the jade produces smoke. This feeling can wait to be remembered, but at that time it was already lost. 4. **"Butterfly Loves Flowers·Spring Scenery" Song Dynasty: Su Shi **: Flowers fade, red, green, apricot small. When swallows fly, green water flows around people. There are few willow trees on the branches, where is there no fragrant grass in the world? The swing in the wall and the road outside the wall. Outside the wall people, inside the wall beauty smile. The laughter gradually faded away, but the heartlessness annoyed him. 5. "The Magpie Bridge Immortal" Song Dynasty: Qin Guan."The fine cloud is clever, the flying star spreads hatred, and the silver river is far away." When the golden wind and jade dew met, they surpassed countless people in the world. Gentle as water, beautiful as a dream, bear to look at the magpie bridge return road. If the two feelings are long, how can they be in the morning and evening? 6. Song Dynasty: Li Qingzhao. Search and find, cold and clear, miserable and miserable. It was the hardest to rest when it was warm and cold. How could three cups of light wine compare with him? When the wild goose passed by, it was sad that it was an old acquaintance. Yellow flowers piled up all over the ground. Who can take it now? Guarding the window, how can it be dark alone? The parasol tree is accompanied by drizzle, drizzle by drizzle until dusk. This time, how could the word 'worry' be enough! 7. [Linjiang Immortal: Rolling Yangtze River East Water] Ming·Yang Shen: Rolling Yangtze River East Water, the waves wash away the heroes. right and wrong, success or failure, turn your head and empty. The green mountains were still there, and the sunset was red. 8.

Today, a cloud holds the falling moon, and the night before, six flowers flew out. Singing and chanting at will to persuade people to drink wine, laughing and laughing, often trying tea. When I met him, I had a few parting thoughts in my heart. My brother went to the end of the world. 10. **"Seven Laws" on the twenty-second day of the first month of the first month, a loving mother was hospitalized to accompany her/Wu Lizhi **: How can it be late for a mother to seek medical treatment when she is sick? The child has tears and ripples alone. He hurriedly rushed into the hospital to catch his breath, and then hung up a bottle of infusion. I long for the day of rejuvenation, but I have been infected with illness in ordinary times. He recovered several times a year and took good care of him. 11. On the afternoon of the 22nd day of the first lunar month, I was invited by my friend, Xianlin, to his studio. I drank wine and tried tea, laughing and laughing to my heart's content! Before leaving, he gave me three pieces of ink. I saw that his calligraphy skills had greatly improved, and no one could compare with him. Moreover, the content of the writing is the three lines I created in the past. I suddenly feel that it is pleasing to the eyes and pleasant to the heart. I can't help but sigh with emotion! Therefore, I wrote this poem to express my feelings. It is snowing outside the window in cold weather, and the words warm the people in the house. Good at talking and laughing, good at writing poems and books. Love melds with the taste of tea, friendship helps the spirit of wine. Looking back on the past, I miss today's spring. He was not an idle person, but a free person. The knowledge given to me is priceless, and every word is true. 12. **"Seven Laws" Chant Map_Vase Bamboo and Cover Bowl Tea Text/Wu Lizhi **: Vase Bamboo is not a flower, accompanied by a bowl of tea.

Who can make life melt the meaning of wine, not hinder the dream of getting drunk. 13. **"Seven Laws" Recalling the Lantern Festival and his wife watching the lanterns, there is a good article/Wu Li's **: The moon is round at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the spring lanterns are not easy to see. When we travel together, we love our wives more and smile. We spend the whole day in the scenic view. Hand in hand, the road ahead is always there, ecstasy is not to enjoy, difficult to stop. The world has its good times, but the heart is tied to this life's two-inch pill. 14. [Seven Absolutes Liangzhou is on fire again.] Wen/Wu Lizhi: Spring Festival couplets are not finished yet. Such behavior is too casual. No wonder Liangzhou is full of jokes, stupid people can act as a thousand. 15. [Five Rows]: The world is unusual, and the world is clear. Laughing at the beautiful scenery, it is difficult to see the poor poetry. Dream pen blossoming flowers, singing music to the ear. Only pity today's feelings, empty memories of the old years swallow. Since ancient times, the heart has been born frequently, and the heart has never disappeared. Looking at the cool autumn moon, I tried the hot spring tea. How can there be no end to the universe? The four seasons will eventually run out. How can I sigh at my inferior talent when I am surrounded by feelings? 16. ** Three Sixteen-Character Orders, Appreciation of Chairman Mao's Poetry, 1934 - 35 **: One mountain, the horse hasn't dismounted yet. He turned his head in surprise, three feet and three inches from the sky. The second mountain, overturned the sea, overturned the river and rolled up huge waves. The horses galloped and galloped, and the battle between the ten thousand horses was still fierce. The three mountains pierced through the blue sky, but their sharp blades were not broken.

The world is getting worse and worse
This statement was not completely accurate. The world was developing in a complicated manner in many aspects. On the economic front, emerging countries such as China and India were rising in the global economy and contributing to the growth of the world economy. However, the gap between the rich and the poor, social injustice, resource shortage and other problems still plagued many countries. The field of science and technology was developing rapidly. Artificial intelligence, big data, biotechnology, new energy, and other cutting-edge technologies were remolding the industrial structure of various countries. In the future, there would be more technological breakthroughs such as the evolution from 5G to 6G, the widespread application of Internet of Things technology, and the progress of quantum computing and biotechnology. However, some people believed that the current bottom of science and technology was close to exhaustion, and scientific and technological progress was getting slower and slower. The trend of multi-polar politics was more obvious, and the voice of emerging powers in international affairs was gradually increasing. However, regional political conflicts and geographical games still existed. The United States and other western countries regarded China and Russia as their main rivals and used various means to compete, affecting the level of global governance and making the pluralistic mechanism unstable. In terms of environmental protection, countries around the world were paying more and more attention to climate change. They had set targets for reducing pollution, vigorously developed sustainable energy, and promoted green development. Cultural exchanges were becoming more and more frequent, and different cultures collided with each other to promote global cultural variety and tolerance. Therefore, it could not simply be said that the world was getting worse and worse. Instead, it was facing a complex situation where challenges and opportunities coexisted in the process of development.
