Synopsis

Drowning in their ever cold, lonely and chaotic abyss, two men whose entire entity screams nothing but danger seem to be the reason youthful Ariel is drawn to explore or to put it her way "find out what's calling out to me" Osvaldo's POV "Never have I felt like this, the overpowering urge to lay the whole world to ash if required to see a smile on her beautiful face, and I know it's not just me." "This insanity hasn't only just befallen on me, he feels it to, he knows it and he understands it as much as I do, she's ours to protect, ours to claim, ours to build and destroy as we see fit, we'd be damned to let her slip from us" "Not like we'd give her any chance to anyway" I grimed as I watched her smile ever so professionally to some kid's parent. I'm not enjoying this one bit, and it seems like I'm not the only one this is disturbing, if looks could kill every single student would be mourning their fathers and mothers with the look in Jae Young's eyes, I recognise that glint, that murderous glint, pushing and testing his limits, our limits. This is going to be one a meeting from hell if this doesn't stop soon.

Chapter 1Chapter one: Packing Up

Ariel's POV

These past few weeks have been hectic, packing up to move to a foreign country, where I know no one but a black agent who somehow was able to land me a job as an English language teacher at Exodium Private School in Seoul, Korea.

Thanks to the financial help I received from my mothers I was able to rent an apartment in a place I presume was close to the school, rather so was I told by my agent and I hope I'm not being scammed.

Oh I've yet to introduce myself

Hi, I'm Harrison Ariel, Yes, Ariel is like the little mermaid and no I'm not a redhead or a creature with half a fishtail and half a human body that would be ridiculous though my mum would say otherwise, anyway I'm fully human.

While my mum was expecting me, she went down memory lane of when she was younger and longed to be Ariel, the little mermaid, except she wanted to save a princess, not a prince, and explore the world with said Princess. With that in mind, she chose to name me Ariel, crazy, yet Mama seemed to welcome every single one of her crazy thoughts or deeds.

I've always wanted to experience their kind of love, unconditional, passionate, sweet, trouble-filled yet strong but as I've learned not everyone is built for love.

I'm twenty-two years old, born on the 13th of June, a Gemini, never really understood the concept of the Zodiac sign but oh well.

As cool as it is to have two mums, I've been avoided because of it or because my sexuality had been assumed by many but I'm not Queer. Though I find fellow shared gender mates extremely attractive I've never once had a sexual thought about them so that kind of confirmed it.

Now back to the job at hand,

Looking down at my packed luggage and the ones waiting to be arranged I signed through my nose, I shouldn't have procrastinated on packing up until now, I'm going to be a teacher in one of the best private schools ( if not the best) in Korea, shouldn't I lead by example?.

I've got to give it my best

"You're done?"

I watched as Mama walked into my room, her ginger red hair held into a bun on her head, she looked tired, oh and did I mention my Mama was white, I also didn't mention being black, my birth mum is half Nigerian half Egyptian who married an English woman.

I've always thought my mum's first love should have been Ariel, it's either that or she adored her so much, because why would she marry a redhead woman or name her child after Ariel but why should I care, Mama is the one who bears most of her weirdness.

"No, I have no idea where to start" I sighed flopping my body on the ever so soft mattress, grabbing my stuffed Tiger, Snow, I'm going to miss him or her I don't know

I never give it a gender.

Smiling Mama lay next to me, left elbow supporting her head as she pushed some stray jet-black hair off my face and gently tucked it behind my ear.

"You've already started, my little mermaid, you just need to finish it" she pointed out gesturing to my packed luggage

"I know, just lazy" I sighed once again holding Snow with my right hand over my stomach and then palming Mama's hand on my cheek with my left

"Silly girl, this is why your mum doesn't want you to go so far away from us, you're still a baby"

" I'm twenty-two, ma" I countered pouting

"Exactly, still a baby" she grinned, satisfied with herself

"Our baby" she added

She had her ever-loving signature smile on her face, one I've grown to love, she might not show it as much as Mum but she's just as stressed out and reluctant as Mum is when it comes to letting me go but I have to, I have never felt so burdened to do something as I feel now.

Don't get me wrong, I love them and it would be hell without them with me after all, living with them for all twenty-two years of my life it would be hard to just move out, and I'm not just moving out I'm leaving the fucking country.

It's just like I've got to go, explore, and satisfy my curiosity, I don't know why but there's a tugging feeling, calling out to me, something out there calling me to come, and even if hell breaks loose, I'd still go find it.

" I'm going," I said quietly, afraid to hurt her feelings even though I knew I already did

I hurt both of them for something I've yet to know

" I know" she responded just as quietly as I was. Moving closer to me, she placed her forehead on mine an act we've done countless times over the years of my existence, mum gave birth to me but a world without Mama, I don't want to imagine it.

I closed my eyes as she did enjoying the silence while it reigned, dwelling in Mama's presence, I'm going to miss her, I already miss her.

I opened my eyes to see bright blue orbs staring down at me, tear-filled, as she wiped mine

I released a sob I had no idea I was holding back, letting myself let it all out in the woman I adored the most arms.

We spent about ten minutes relishing each other embrace, and eventually, Mama pulled away, slipping stray strands of hair away from my face, and tucking them behind my right ear.

I gave her a cheeky smile, one she returned with no hesitance. Spilling out of my hold, she got up on her with a grunt, staring down at the mess I made. She shook her head and proceeded to undo the mess in the luggage, I joined in and she directed me on what to do, and after about two hours three pieces of luggage stood tall in the center of my room.

The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Wenyan read a book in which a cannon-fodder character sharing her name was a false heiress. After the true heiress assumed her position, the impostor tried to secure her place in the wealthy family by drugging the eldest son and making a done deal out of a cooked rice, only to be unmasked by the Shen Family and end up committing suicide in despair. Wenyan was furious to see such an ending. How could one not survive without the backing of a wealthy family? Hadn't the family provided her with a luxury house and countless luxury goods? Just selling those off would fetch tens of millions. She was just a hopeless case! If she were the Wenyan in the book, she would have relinquished her position and just lived laid-back like a salted fish! But when she woke up from her sleep, she actually transmigrated into the book. True to her word, she stopped scheming. Overnight she packed her bags, sold her house, car, and bags, and looked for a job. - The entire Shen Family noticed the change in Wenyan, their adopted daughter. Not only had she moved out obediently, but she also never caused any trouble again. Even more bizarre was that they could now see her innermost thoughts! 【Dad, Mom, I never wanted to usurp your nest, but the DNA test results of the true daughter have issues. In fact, she's even more fake than I, the bogus heiress.】 Shen Family parents: ...... Then the long-lost 'daughter' who had been found was exposed as an impostor and taken away by the police for questioning. 【Big brother, that schoolmate of yours is no good, he's a corporate spy, the illegitimate child of the Shen Family's archenemies.】 Shen Family's eldest son: ...... Afterwards, the schoolmate got caught stealing confidential documents and was also taken away by the police for questioning. 【Second brother, you are such a pure and noble person, you mustn't be with the Qin Family's daughter, she's just using you, her heart is actually set on someone else.】 Shen Family's second son: ...... Thank you, I'll look into it. 【And third brother, fourth brother......】 In the end, nobody could have predicted that the Shen Family's most undistinguished adopted daughter would become the pampered daughter-in-law.
