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.

Lunch with the men - IV

Adrian continued, his words hitting the aim, "when Joyce called, you started to notice this change and The Events got your attention which is why you are here alone. You suspect that Henry James is the man your sister and your father are trying to set up instead of you, especially with the change of attitude that your father has towards him."

Declan remained quiet.

"Henry James would be the perfect scapegoat. Your father would still be in charge, he could come in every now and then, Aoife would remain in the family and solidify her position more than she could be able to do anywhere else. All in all, all are benefiting except you." Adrian pointed his finger at him. "You are the only one who gets to be the scapegoat and gets to die."

Joyce made an extra effort to hide her grimace. Could he talk about another morbid topic at the moment? Right, there would not be another one.
