Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 204
Advertisement
Veronica sat in front of Francisco. She's in the other room. There's a thick glass between them and they can both see each other clearly. Veronica took the wine that Brandy is offering since Francisco already knows him.
"Vanessa!" Francisco scream.
"Daddy!" Veronica said sarcastically. "My name is Veronica now. Vanessa is dead. You killed her together with her mother." Francisco scream in anger. This is the first time since a long time that Veronica had to talk to him again. She was too occupied on trying to get off the bad thing that happened to them. Sabrina. She's not waking up.
"You traitor!"
Veronica laugh out loud like a damn psycho and she can't barely sip on her wine.
"I am not a traitor. You are a traitor. You killed my mother. You even use my grandfather and me just to get Ivanov's wealth. Well, guess what? I just had it all. I accept it all for me to put you down."
"Who is behind this? Sabrina?"
"Sabrina?" Veronica laugh out loud. "Oh, just wait and see." Veronica smirked. "Let's start with the session!" She said and his men with mask on starts beating him up. "Careful. He has to be alive for the Dark Lord to see. Okay? Our boss don't want him to look bad."
"Damn, V. Why don't you want me to beat him up? He did the same to me." Brandy complains.
"Shh. I am enjoying this, dummy."
"Who are you calling dummy?"
"You." Veronica said straightforwardly.
Brandy got up.
"I'll get popcorn."
"Get Doritos!" She said and Brandy roll his eyes as he get those in short time and they watch and eat like they are in cinema.
She was about to eat but she stop herself. She should have enjoy this with Sabrina and Catriona but none of them are present. Catriona is blind and pregnant. Sabrina is in coma and pregnant. She hasn't been eating well.

"What's wrong?" Brandy asked.
"I have to watch this with them." She gave back the Doritos to him. "Stop the torture for a while."
"Why?"
"Sabrina has to watch this but she's not here."
"Why don't you just go to her and slap her tell her to wake up so all of these will end?" Brandy asked and munch on his popcorn.
It's been eight weeks and Sabrina is still sleeping. She finish her drink and stay in the parking lot as she text Tony. She stayed there and thought of what she should do. She didn't really come to EPUA every day. She assist Tony, help him with his food, clothes and the company since she took over the assassin's organization.
Her grandfather said that she can do everything she want and the organization will stay faithful and loyal to Ivanov. She has lot of men to feed. It feels like that. But what is she going to do with Francisco? He has no where to go. Once he do something to her—they will hunt him down.
She call him and Tony answer quickly. She could hear that he's flipping papers on the background.
"Hey, Nica."
"Are you done?"
"You've been missing me everyday."
"It's eleven in the evening."
"Oh," It seems like Tony lost track of time. "Okay. Where are you?"
"EPUA underground parking." She mutter.
"Are you drunk?"
"I only drank a glass of wine." She said and sniffled.
"Are you okay? I am already in the elevator. coming there for you."
"I can drive. I'll pick you up."
"No. I will pick you up. My driver is already outside."
Veronica waited there staring at nowhere. Then a man knock on her window shield. She look at the man wearing a suit. Then the familiar Rolex watch. She unlock the car and he open the door. She step out and receive a big hug from her man.

"I don't know what to do." She is slowly opening up to him.
"It's okay my baby." He pick her up. He put her at the backseat of his car and told his driver to drive to the penthouse.
She crawl on his lap and snuggle on him. He love that about her. She snuggle like a kitten. Tony brushes his fingers through her hair and she fall asleep. He didn't even know if she ate her dinner. She is losing weight. He has to make her visit Sabrina—that is the one that's bothering her. If not—then she will surely get depressed and she will keep thinking she failed Sabrina.
They walk to the elevator of the penthouse as soon as they got there and she throw her bag somewhere and help him remove his clothes.
"Did you eat your dinner?" He asked her.
"I had a little finger food." She said. "Have you eaten your dinner?"
"Not yet. Let's eat."
Veronica nod. She doesn't even have the appetite to eat.
Soon enough, for her to be relieved from all of the stress. He took her to bed naked, kiss her whole body and suck her nipples. Then traces kisses on her abdominal down to her pelvis and he gape as he look up at her and kiss the very precious part of her. Her breathing hitches as she look back at him intensely.
Veronica shudders as she came off. Tony crawl up to her and become aggressive. She loves it when he get aggressive and she respond back to him. The bed was shaking crazily and their moaning was louder and could be heard outside their room.
Soon both of them were satisfied. Tony took the remote for the AC and decrease the temperature.
"When can we use that vibrators that you bought?" She suddenly asked as she took the towel and wipe out her sweat.
Tony shoot up a glare at her. This woman knows how to stir him up even though he just finished a round with her. Then she would smile innocently.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

The Emperor's Chef
"Cook like your life depends on it, kid. Because it does." Charles had an enviable future lined up for him. Training from the age of five by some of the finest chefs in the world. Schooling at a top culinary academy in the capital. An honorable position as heir to House Boulier, a line of merchant-lords who have charmed the rich and powerful with their cooking for centuries. And in a single night, it all burned to ash. When the outbreak of war destroys his hometown, Charles is charged with escorting his family’s sacred treasure—a recipe book passed down for untold generations—out of harm's way. But his simple mission grows complicated when he’s captured by one of the most feared battalions in the world: the Spears of Mercy. Life as a prisoner in their war camp is brutal and uncertain. Charles has few allies and even fewer strengths to rely on. Only his skills in the culinary arts, honed over a lifetime in the kitchen, are deemed useful enough to keep him alive another day. But he’s not out of hope just yet. With a dash of wit, a pinch of luck, and some very creative cooking, he might just find a way to recover his family’s legacy and take back his freedom. This project is a food-themed fantasy that centers on cooking and chefs. The setting spans a wide world featuring ingredients/recipes both real and inspired by traditional fantasy. I'll eventually be publishing it as a full-length novel (or series of novels depending on length). These are the first draft chapters. I'll likely be re-writing more than once, then editing before publishing, so impressions and feedback are quite welcome. If you like the story so far and you're interested in being an early reviewer for the final product, feel free to message me. I'm looking for an artist to make some concept art and a cover (the cover shown here is just a temporary placeholder). A stand-alone novel for now, but it may turn into a series down the road.
