Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 289

Veronica take the hint as she come out from the dark and start shooting each one with tranquilizer. There's enough tranquilizer on her gun and for the last one…the bulky man with a height of 8 feet? Darn, one tranquilizer isn't enough for him. She search for the big dosage and shot him directly to his ass.
"Hey!" Someone shouts and she duck down and slide. She hold on the rail of the balcony and swung herself to the master's bed room's balcony. She didn't knock and just break the glass. She enter and saw Catriona already in her defense motion.
"It's Lily." Veronica said after ensuring that the room was secured. Veronica look at Eros and help him wipe his bleeding nose. "Cat don't mess up his face. He still have to look good in camera." Veronica said. She pull out the small camera as she start filming Eros's face.
"What's your name?" Veronica asked him.
"Eros…" He murmured.
"Who do you love?"
"Catriona." He laugh out loud.
"Why are you asking stupid things, Lily?"
"Just checking out. You know my biological father, right?" She asked as she wrapped him around the cloth and tie him such that he can't even move. However, he laughs.
"You are so stupid Veronica to be the Dark Lord. Am I right? You are not the Dark Lord…" He muttered. "It might be Sabrina or one of the Alvarez's."
"Why do you have to take Catriona?" Veronica asked again.
"Well, you will all die soon." He said. "At least I have to save my woman first before killing them off, if she will submit to me and just do everything I want—I will be merciful enough to let those three rascals live."
Veronica's eyes become fierce and her head boils. No one will hurt her nephews. Veronica punch his abdominal. He almost puke and he cough almost rolling off the bed. Catriona stood. Veronica give her directions and she started punching the man's face.

"That's great!" Veronica nodded satisfied. She glance at her wrist watch and receive a message from Shadow.
Five Minutes…
That's only what Shadow sent to her. Veronica activate her earpiece and Enzo's voice is the first thing she heard.
"Lily? Lily! Are you near Catriona? Is she there? Is she alright?" He sound panicking.
"Oh, shits…" Veronica mutter and muted the microphone. "It's your husband. He's getting crazy. He's over reacting. He's—damn crazy." Veronica's head was spinning. Damn, damn… Enzo is really this obnoxious."
Catriona reach her own earpiece and logged in.
"Enzo." She calls him. Enzo exhales on the other line.
"I am near, baby. Are you hurt?" The panic in his voice makes her heart crumpled. She bit her lip.
"No. I am fine. Don't worry, okay?"
"Please don't leave like that… Okay?"
They heard helicopter and men jumping from the helicopters with ropes on them. They started searching around and Enzo burst on the door. He almost flew to Catriona. As soon as he reach her, he pull her away from Eros who started talking unnecessary things. Veronica was focused on taking all of the information and Catriona told him to shut up.
Enzo's eyes become teary as he check her in the light. Her cheeks is red and there are hickeys on her neck and chest. He scoop her face and press his lips on her forehead.
"I am fine." She told him.
"You are not!" He almost scowl at her. He caress her hair and pressed his lips to control his emotions.
"Enzo…" She mutter. "I'm in my mission."
"Fuck that mission." He almost scowl at her.

"We got a meeting in an hour so—" He kisses Hailey's lips and cover her naked body. Jason just heard from Tony that Catriona got kidnapped and Veronica is on rescue, and he can't go to the party since he's baby sitting three adorable young men. "Stay here, I am so sure that you are fine…"
"I'm going to sleep. Take care okay?" Hailey said.
Jason start putting on his clothes and the EPUA jacket. He grabbed his keys and then looked at his adorable girl. He bent down and start kissing his face. Hailey giggles and told him to go.
"I hate to leave." He murmured.
"I won't leave, okay?" He caress her hair.
"Okay." He kiss her lips and then left her and peek on her before closing the door. He turn to Mark and saw him leaving the room with Allison.
"Where are you going?" Jason asked.
"Just leave. Sabrina will be in beast mode if we aren't there in an hour or so."
Jason left and enter the conference room. Sabrina has been sitting there, on her red chair as she keep clicking on the pen waiting for the time. Everyone are almost here and most of them are from the research and medical team. Hmm, interesting. Samantha came and sat down on the chair beside Sabrina.
Sabrina check her phone and Tequila opens the door as he stood behind Sabrina and Samantha. Then another upcoming people. Mark enter with a woman behind him. Allison?
Sabrina stood.
"Everyone, meet your new colleague, Allison." Just Allison and no surname and new Colleague? Jason was confused. "Allison, Samantha will be your partner for the research and order others for your needs in this research." She order directly.
"Little introduction, boss?" Jason asked. Sabrina rose her brows. She talk too little to her people.
Sabrina cock her head to Allison as Allison step forward.
"I'm Allison Warren. I specialize in chemical research…" Blah, blah, blah. Everyone are too surprised on her specialization and Mark bit his lips to avoid smirking. Surely, he was too lucky to have a genius fiancée with lots of accomplishments in short years.
Sabrina stood after Allison's introduction. Short and direct.
"She's a former doctor army. Do not underestimate her." She said and then she face Samantha. Samantha nodded. "Adjourn."
Sabrina left the room and Allison followed together with Samantha. Jason stood and look at Mark.
"That's my woman." He said and Tequila shook his head as he let out a little laugh as they followed Sabrina.
After Sabrina together with Allison and Samantha exited, there was a big commotion inside and they are muttering if it was the legendary Aqua.
"Aqua?" Jason asked Mark.
"Mark winks." So, it was the legendary Aqua. One of Sabrina's ace.
They deliberately met Eros on the corridor, Sabrina look at him straight and Tequila immediately was behind Samantha if anything happens. Eros look at Allison. He was still on drug for him to confess everything.
"Ohh, I know this one…" Eros mutter as he look at Allison. "You were in the war in Pakistan with me. Right? I got to say—your skills are really good and we both have a good vibes."
"Yeah, that's my woman." Mark walk in front of Eros and put his hand around Allison. Eros was too surprised to see him. Mark shaved off his beards and he even show the ring on Allison's finger. "I am getting married. How about you? Where is that handsomeness you are talking about? Even Catriona is disgusted with you."
Jason laugh out loud.
"I am getting married first before I see you get castrated."
Jason laugh out louder and Sabrina shook her head.

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week. Cover by: Faren Discord: https://discord.gg/eDuZaEAAqG This story is published and available on Royalroad, Webnovel, ScribbleHub, Wattpad, and extra chapters on Patreon!

8 185Mobius
Far in the future, humans have thoroughly colonized space through the use of floating colonies and artificially replicating the Earth whenever possible. Most of these endeavors have gone well, with humanity spreading across the universe like the seeds of plants floating in the wind. Yet still there lurks the great mistake, the endless station of Mobius, a megastructure which hasn't ceased its building in over a century. Dante, a man living in this megastructure, is tasked with the recording of stories told by criminals, particularly those who travel between strata. One day, a prisoner is captured claiming to be Captain Pluto, an infamous criminal thought to be fictitious by most scholars. Even more curious, he claims to hail all the way from Stratum 56, a location so far away from Dante's Stratum 999 that it would take lifetimes to traverse such a distance. Dante must discern whether or not the story is false or true, and the longer he lets Captain Pluto speak, the more difficult his task becomes. *****Average chapter length will be 10k words give or take. This isn't a very serious story for me. I'm writing this to blow off steam. Updates will happen infrequently because of this, and it will most likely be unpolished unless I begin to take it more seriously.
