*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.

Tough decisions - III

Everything around her became silent, and this strange ringing sensation started in her ear.

It was happening whether she liked it or not.

Never had any words hurt her like this. Anything that her father said to her had always been expected of him, but the same was not the case with Adrian.

It hurt when he said that.

Another tear escaped her eye Joyce did nothing to get rid of it. That was not fair to her.

"I don't get a choice in anything then." She said in a pathetic, broken whisper. "nothing is up to me."

Adrian cupped her face in his hands. "That is not true. But when it comes to your safety, and your well being, matters are going to be in my hands." He softened his expression for a moment. "I apologize, my joy, but this has to be done."

She didn't like that. Not at all.

"I don't want anything to be put inside me. That is not fair. It involves more than security."

Adrian did not like that. At least the expression on his face portrayed that.
