Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep Chapter 21
Advertisement
You Seok had abruptly applied the brakes causing Xie Eun to almost be thrown forward despite the belt. Knowing how the girl sat, Yu Seok had already placed his arm across her collarbone to stop her being hurt.Slowly, he looked for a shoulder in the road and parked the car on the side,"What did you just say?"
Xie Eun pouted and then pointedly looked at the hand that was laid across her body.Yu Seok seemed to have forgotten he had his hand on her!Even if he was gay, he should not be manhandling her!
Realizing the precocious position of his hand, Yu Seok snatched it back as if burnt and then continued to look questioningly at Xie Eun.
Xie Eun looked at Yu Seok's expression and herself in a dilemma.It was true that he had not trusted her with his secret and instead she had stumbled over it mistakenly and that did not mean that she could trust him..But she had known him for almost a year and a half and knew he could keep a secret. Most importantly, she felt restless and wanted to talk to someone...
After the internal debate, Xie Eun nodded her head and pursed her lips finally coming to a decision..
"Yu Seok, I am going to find my husband so that I can ask him for an annulment!You see..."
And this way, she blurted out the entire story leading from her eighteenth birthday to her marriage and then subsequently father's death. But she did not tell him what happened after that..Ofcourse he knew but instead of pointing out her half truth, he kept his own feeling aside and decided that maybe this was his chance to understand Xie Eun's feelings. Over this period if time,he had gotten to know her well but even so, he did not understand why she loved that other man..the scum! For a person with a reasonable IQ she was marvelously dumb when it came to her so called fiance.

Since she was looking at him expectantly, waiting for a reaction, he gave her one,"Okk..So you are married and you are engaged to two different men.Your ability to handle two relationships is..unique.."
"Hey!Dont judge!I am not cheating anyone alright and just so you know, I am going there so that I can find my husband and ask him for an annulment."
"Xie Eun, you are married to someone else but you live with another man on your weekends you spend time with him. And the other man is not aware that you are lawfully married.Your husband knows none of this and so he is also being lied to..You are hiding the truth from both the parties?How is that not cheating?What triggered this sudden decision to divorce anyways?You should have continued living the way you were..."
Though he had tried to keep himself objective, Yu Seok knew that he had unintentionally pointed the the thorn in his heart.He was bound by his promise on one hand and his love for her on the other..If it were up to him, he would have given her her hearts desire as marry the other man. But that man really was a scum and had her well under control..
In face he had never even been in a relationship with Xie Eun before her father's death and Xie Eun would have realized his true intent had he not announced to the world that he was her fiance at her father's funeral.The silly girl had felt gratitude towards the man when she realized that the person she had a crush on had come forward in her time if need.Not realizing that she would have lost decades of her family's hard earned money to this man. Luckily General Xie was smarter and had locked all the funds in various trusts.This had however not stopped the man and he brought Xie Eun here and used her most vulnerable time to firmly establish herself in his heart is much so that she started to trust him blindly. The man even conspired against Aunt Su who had seen his true colors and she was pushed out of the house and back to the village...within six months.

You Seok knew all this from Aunt Su who had informed him of everything before she returned to the village..And that is why Wolf had become Yu Seok-a university student with a cold attitude.Slowly and surely, he had become her friend and unlikenAunt Su who was direct and loud, he would make insidious and indirect remarks about her fiance.Over this time, he had collected so many proofs against that man but had been hesitant to show them to her.As he wondered whether he should reveal himself and tell her the truth, she gave him to answer to his question,"It's sudden because..because Si Jun is going to propose to me next week and I want to say yes with my whole heart and a clear conscience!"
Unaware that her words had caused many explosions to set off in Yu Seok's mind, Xie Eun looked out of the window in embarrassment.She felt bad about Yu Seok's reaction and even hurt that he would speaknsuch harsh words to her..Si Jun loved her and she loved him so what if she was married..It was a marriage in name only and she had given the person a chance to don't on his own but he had let her down.Aunt Su was the only one who knew she was married and could tell her the whereabouts of her so called husband.
On the other hand, Yu Seok had already reached his decision and Si Jun the thorn was going to be removed soon....from her side and his way to woo his wife..Time was now of essence...Soon the time to fulfill the objective of their marriage would be here.He needed to establish her firmly by his side by then..

Dungeons & Demons
*!* This story is currently being continued on a different page, following years of hiatus and extensive rewrites *!* Please follow the link to read the up-to-date version: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/53863/cycles-of-ruin Basil von Doom is a powerful dungeon keeper with a simple mission: to bring ruin and destruction upon civilized worlds at the height of their decadence and stagnation. Much like his father before him, the new master of House Doom is a prodigy of war, yet the venerable minions of his household still hold strange loyalties toward his missing ancestor, silently comparing the legendary rage of his father to the more pragmatic approach of the son. Adding to Basil’s frustrations is the lack of accomplishment he feels for his work, with the dungeon keeper often taking on handicaps just to give his enemies a fighting chance. With all the power and wealth one could ever dream of already within his grasp, Basil now finds that the achievements of others kindle more joy in his heart than his own crushing victories. Thus Basil has taken up mentoring the next generation of dungeon keepers to try and diagnose the cause for his own lack of passion. With his apprentice, Elnora, managing most of the daily work around the dungeon, Basil can finally turn his attention towards his personal concerns, such as tackling the shadow of his legendary father that still looms large over him.

God complex
A hero is summoned to another world, vanquishes evil, yadda yadda, saves the kingdom and lives happily ever after. There is no such hero in this story. Just a desperate youth with great ambition and very little to lose. A zero to hero style story set in a country clearly inspired by modern USA with just as many issues and the minority of mages often pulling strings from the shadows. I am also hoping the whole thing won't turn out edgy enough to cut me. I want to rely on actual good writing rather than cheap powertrip gimmicks. edit: Please don't mind Zetari's salty review. He is quite literally making up any use of the torture and human experimentation trope and says MC is blank after 4 chapters where he conveniently stops reading just at the start of his first character development. For extra entertainment, I will be uploading chapters two at a time and compose a relevant poem through the chapter names. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
