Belonging To The Darkness

*Arranged marriage*Enemies to lovers*Obsessed anti-Hero* “I fucking hate you!” She breathed out the words, slowly and steadily, into his face. Her garlic smelling breath hitting him right in the face, making his face twitch and break posture. “You,” he turned his head away to breathe away from her garlic scented bread, only for her to open her mouth and blow into his direction. “Fucking brat. Did your parents teach you nothing?“ “Pedophile!” She accused to his face. “Did your parents teach you to marry little girls?” Adrian scoffed. “it’s your father who is trying to marry you off. Take it up with him.” She tried to open her mouth, by the looks of it just blow her garlicky breath on him again. Adrian grabbed her jaw, squeezing her cheeks together, he made her shut her mouth. “Listen to me carefully, Brat,” he whispered, bringing his face closer to hers, “You better hope I don’t say yes to this proposal of your father. Because if I do, I will be shipping your ass off to a behaviour correction facility as the first thing.” Ignoring the sneer on her lips, Adrian patted her cheek forcefully, just for fun, before turning around and leaving her alone in the corner. “It’s on,” she vowed, “I’ll fucking set you on fire.” ***** Joyce O’Sullivan, 19 years old, a perfect age to get married and settled according to her family members, according to the church they went to, and according to the whole society that she did not give a damn about.

When it finally came at a time to go home, she had expected to go with Charles or go with Adrian. Joyce would have preferred the latter, having wanted to talk to him about Graham, even if a little bit, but it was the former who had come to pick her up.

"Ready to go?" Charles stopped at the door of her office, swinging his keys over his index finger.

Joyce scowled. She looked over the time. " Are you sure you want to go now? It would be the peak hour for rush."

Charles was someone who genuinely avoided going into the rush hour traffic. He would leave the house early or late just so he could avoid it.

He nodded. "I know."

She waited for him to say something else, but then realized that this was all she was getting from him. Just did not have any more to be in the office anymore, specially not after what had happened, so, she nodded.

Toby was still in the office, and he got the hint, standing up as she did and walking behind her.
