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.

Signing over the line - II

After Charles assigned the paper, he slid them back to MR. Williams. The latter took a look at each paper probably to make sure that everything was alright before he nodded and collected all of them. He tapped them against the desk surface and then placed them all into a file before standing up.

"Thank you. The process is going to be Swift, so congratulations." He nodded one last time before he moved out of the way, and James opened the door for him. Gavin was already standing there, and had probably led him out of the house too.

Now that the presence of the civilian was gone, Joyce felt a little more nervous.

"Congratulations, boss." James bowed his head in respect. "Mrs Murphy." James bowed at her too.

Wow, she awed in her mind. This was perhaps the first time James had ever talked to her without raising his nose in the air. Sure, he treated her with respect, but it felt like she had elevated to an entirely different level.
