Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 230
Advertisement
Ferdinand was listening to the mellow music as he reminiscence his time with Anastasia during their honeymoon stage. They would prepare dinner together and dance after the song "I'll make love to you" by the Boyz II Men. Classic and whenever he sings it and reach the chorus—she would flush and mutter something to him that would make him hot.
He smiles as he remember. It was so real in his head, the fantasy he feels right as he reminiscence that he was still young and love it whenever he carries her everyday to their bed. He had love her dearly and even though he didn't say it everyday, they both know that what they feel is true and no one can break them apart.
Whenever he sees Catriona and Enzo, he feel bad for himself to loose his wife too early. He could see and compare himself with Enzo back then, taking care of the triplets and making sure that they didn't get any rashes and assisting the wife. He left the mansion in order to give them some privacy. He's old and lonely.
Everything that Anastasia owns stays here in the rest house where everything started. They didn't have a mansion yet. They stayed here in the rest house when they elope and first made love. This was where they cried, telling each other that no one is going to let go and that they have to fight for each other until the end.
That stayed still in Ferdinand's heart. He still has Anastasia in his heart and he just wished that so soon, he would die so he can be with her wherever she is.
Ferdinand close his eyes and let the Gramophone play the same song again and again as he hugged his beautiful wife's painting like she was there, in his arms and lying on his chest.

Anastasia wanted to play again. So he let her do as she wished. Anastasia is with a dozen of body guards. Firstly, she wanted to see a place. The rest house didn't have a gate, it was made of wood. It still look good and it seems like it was maintained. Her heart melts. Did Ferd keep it alive for her?
She walk freely to the doorstep. She wanted to go in but a music was playing over and over again. She remain standing there stiff as she listen to their theme song.
"Close your eyes, make a wish…"
She put her hand on the door as she listen and her memories with her love plays. Instead of being happy, tears falls from her eyes as she hold her heart.
"As I make love to you, like you want me to
And I'm gonna hold you tight…"
She move to the window just beside the door and saw him with closed eyes on the single sofa, his feet over the foot rest as he hug a frame, she hold her mouth to avoid sobbing. She saw her portrait… it was her. The one he was hugging. He looks serene like she was there but not in reality but in his dreams.
She remembers how she rested on his chest during their nap time. He would kiss her forehead and mutter her some sweet-nothings. Their heart ache for each other. She knows to herself that Ferdinand would never cheat on her. He never loved anyone but her. What she sees now is the proof.
"Darling…" She murmur. Ferdinand slowly open his eyes. Her eyes dilated and she immediately run away and left.
***
Ferdinand felt that someone was watching him. The way the person was watching him was comparable to someone he knew. He saw a Goddess from the window it was familiar. At first he didn't react because he knew that it was impossible. But now—he stood and walk to the door. No one was there. He look around. Maybe it was Anastasia… visiting him from this world.

"Oh, Ana…" He said. "If only I could bring you back to life."
As he said it, he didn't know that someone was hiding from the big brake of the tree, holding her mouth while weeping silently. She heard him.
"My mistake was drinking a glass that had been drugged and being manipulated by a woman. My mistake wasn't telling it to you… I am not truthful enough. My mistake was that I allowed her in our lives… now I am here alone… this is my punishment for not protecting you and our triplets."
Anastasia's heart was breaking into pieces as she listen to him. Then Ferdinand saw a beautiful butterfly perk on his shoulder. He thought that it was Anastasia. Because they believe that once a person dies, for them to see and visit their loved ones, the soul is able to be with them and see them through the appearance of the butterflies.
"Tell me, my lost love. How can I make up for all of this?" He paused. "I promise you, I will make them pay triple than the pain you felt."
Suddenly his phone chimes and he answer it.
"Yes."
"Sir, we found where Marga and Janine went."
"Good. Keep following them. Janine has to pay for what he did to my son… and for attempting to kill my daughter."
"Yes, sir. But Mondragon's people block us."
"What do you mean?" Ferdinand asked.
"He told us to stay away. We don't know what they are planning but it seemed like they are letting them go. Sir, I think this is Mondragon's game. It is a torture."
"I understand. I'll speak with Ezekiel."
Anastasia wipe away her tears as she peek on him. His eyes is flaring in anger.
"Mr. Mondragon. I am now aware that you know who killed my Anastasia."
"Your Anastasia?" Ezekiel scoff. "Of course I know. Your daughter knows it well. But because of your stupidity—she block all of those memories for her not to get hurt. You hurt your daughter. You hurt my daughter. So now, tell me—"
"I want to kill who did this to Ana, Mr. Mondragon."
"Really?"
"I know that's what you wanted. That's why you train Sabrina to kill those who killed her mom. Do you even think about it? You could've used me… but now, I am begging you. Sabrina has been hurt many times. I think its okay with me if she can't remember it all.. that she never witnessed it all. Because it kills me each time I see my child in pain."

Up In Space
New chapter every other day Iain Compton never planned to be abducted by an alien spaceship. It just… happened. And now he’s been awakened 22,000 years in the future and half a galaxy away by a pair of oddly human seeming beak nosed aliens and a space ship A.I. that seems to have more than a few screws loose. Oh, and then there's this gorgeous alien woman who he probably shouldn’t trust at all. His plan is to find a way home to Earth, even if its unlikely to be remotely the same; to find a better class of companions among an often strange and inexplicable galactic community, at least one who won’t use him or sell him out at the first opportunity; and to do something about the parasites in his brain who are supposed to connect him to a library the size of the galaxy, but seem to only be telling him that almost everyone and everything he comes across wants to kill him. But at least he can still send tweets.

The Cosmic and the Fair
When magic comes crashing into the world, humans are swept away. When they come trickling back, they are changed. Many of them have been transformed into elves, dwarves, trolls... and now one succubus. Magic is wondrous, dangerous, and inextricably linked to all living things. But succubi have to take it from other people, and for a succubus dropped far away from any communities big enough to sustain her, that's a problem. Luckily for Persephone Evans, she's got help. She has a fancy unique class and a companion. But both gifts come with strings attached, and why did she have to teach the succubus on her shoulder what 'consent' means? This is my first story! Note: The prologue differs wildly in tone from the rest of the story. I'm playing it safe on the tags. I don't think the story really deserves the profanity or gore content warnings, but the main character does swear and get hurt. That said, the main character is a succubus. Sexual content is a given.

Well you could read this story if you want but what's the fun in that really? I'm pretty much writing this (my first) story on a whim so it is certainly not perfect nor is it likely to be good (but what do I know maybe I'm secretly talented). It also might have tons of tons of errors beacuse I'm dumb and sometimes it's just so boring to proof read and you just wanna send a chapter out y'know. Regardless, whether this story brings you the most euphoric delight or illicits the most intense abhorrence I wanna know what you think and how I can improve, reader person, especially if you read this far!
