Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress Chapter 21
Advertisement
Zachary was insisting on checking her whole body. Stripping her clothes and she was like a dummy doll on the bed while he's observing her like a science item. She watch him check her if she got bruises and he found nothing. Then he sat down beside her and gently cover her body with his.
"Stop it. We aren't going to have sex!" She pushes him and reach the robe that he prepared. He move away and sat still beside her. "That's not going to ever happen." She added and about to leave the bed. But he hold her hand.
"You still hate me?" He asked.
"I hate you. But I hate myself more."
"Andy, look. Let's talk about—"
"No. We can't talk about it. I don't want to hear it. Let's just do what our grandfathers had decided and that's it. Don't expect too much from me." She said monotonously.
Zach pull back his hand and let her leave the bed. He looked around his messy room. The bullet marks, knife… he call the maids to clean it up. He must fix his life now. First, he must fix the house hold. He will install more cameras and increase security.
Andromeda almost got killed many times. First the Carbonara and now, the attack while she's napping. He don't want to leave her even when she's sleeping. Who knows when they will attack again?
The bed was newly made with new covers. He take a shower on the other room so he could cuddle her. Andromeda came out from his walk-in closet. She's wearing the adorable pair of pajamas that he owns. She glance at him and reach the pillow.
She turn off the lights and leave the lamp shade beside him. She yawns and strode to the sofa leaving him. She dropped her body there and cuddle with the pillow. She fall asleep in just few second. Zach glance at the space beside him.

Back then, it wasn't like that. Although they have fights, they always end up making love. So passionate and so wild. He missed those moment. He had decided. He will make this work.
He slipped off from bed and reach her, carrying her back to bed and he wrapped him into his arms like he always do.
"Andy, please forgive me." He mutter.

Andromeda enters EPUA.
Last, she must call her cousin Sabrina about how to undo or to make the assassin back to her consciousness so they could torture her. Sabrina send her a video on how to do it. With Andel as an example. Andel almost peed on his pants because he knows how deadly it was. Her cousin is just good at tai-chi. She's more of combat and marksman.
Her phone started ringing that makes everyone looked at her. She frown and answer it.
"What?" she asked with creased brows.
"Where are you?" Zachary asked.
"Why do you care?"
"I texted you more than twenty messages and you didn't reply. You always leave without a body guard. How can I make sure that you are safe?"
"Are you my dad? Or perhaps my grandpa?"
"I am neither. I am your fiancé—"
"Fiancé as an arrangement. Please, you don't have to work that much to protect me. I don't need protection."
"Andy…" His voice soften. Andromeda hang up and face Sabrina.
"Hey, sorry about that. It's just some stranger, now let's go torture this girl." She said excitedly and Sabrina scoff. She didn't say anything as usual since she don't really talk.
They start torturing the woman for her to say who sent her but she's not blurting out anything. Andromeda has a lot on her mind, and she can just choose or maybe accuse all those people who wanted her head.
Sabrina patted Andromeda's top head.

"Okay, okay. I know. I should've put a golden crown on my head with 24 karats diamonds around it." Andromeda murmured.
They watch as the woman has been beaten up with one of their female executioners.
"This woman get into the house--guest what house. Zachary's. Can you believe it? How can they just hire someone like that. Zach's has don't have a proper securities. Their securities is from a low agency. Like a normal one. For God's sake. My grandfather was in military and even Elder Pattinson. I am so, so frustrated with Zach."
Sabrina exhales and let her talk while she is talking and talking and talking and at the same time complaining about Zachary's house. Andromeda found that Sabrina is laughing at her. Because of her frustration--she couldn't help but to laugh as well.
Sabrina type on her tablet.
"What kind of asshole is Zach?" Sabrina asked.
"Well, he's an asshole. He don't know about security and other stuffs but to work out his muscles and attract women. Oh my, I swear to you. We never hire body guards at all. He don't know about security and he just work for business. I just wished that I married Gabriel than him."
Sabrina frown and type on her keyboard.
"Gabriel is mine."
Andromeda started laughing and hands up.
"I am just fucking with you!" Andy exhales and thought about Zach.
Zach was a good man. He wasn't perfect. He might not as powerful as Gabriel Lawson (Sabrina's Husband) Or good at handling securities. But the way he cared for her, spoil her and make sure that she met the right nutrition she needed everyday was enough for her. She love him and her mentality is low, not as strong as Sabrina but the two of them are perfectly not identical.
"Sparring?" Sabrina asked lifting her tablet.
"Why won't you just use your damn voice to talk to me. I am so tired of this." She complain. Sabrina lifted her tablet.
"I didn't vocalize well. Besides there are people around."
"Okay let's go sparring." She stood.
Andromeda and Sabrina went to Sabrina's personal training gym and they started fighting. Sabrina was breathing heavily while Andromeda seemed like didn't break any sweat.
"You done fighting?" She asked her cousin. "You asked for sparring then why are you crawling. Three hours hasn't past yet. It's only been--" she glanced at the timer. "It's only been two hours and twenty minutes. Brina. You have to work on your stamina. How Gabby did take you in bed all night?"
"Damn it." Sabrina muttered and reach a bottle of water.
"Brina, you have to work on that. I trained five hours a day when I was fifteen years old."
"Okay. You beat me up and training for more than five yours doesn't mean that my stamina isn't that strong. Gabby worked me out every night. Even day breaks."
Andromeda started laughing and Sabrina laugh with her.
"I think we also need Andel to satisfy me with sparring."
"Seriously..." Sabrina shook her head. "Just get laid. Okay? I think that's what you need." Sabrina put a hand over her shoulder.
"I am not mentally strong like you." Andromeda said.
"And I am not physically strong like you." Sabrina squeeze her shoulder. "You can do this, Andy."
"The wedding is in few days." Andromeda sat down and her hands started shaking. "I love him. I don't know how to face him. I killed--" Before Andromeda finish her sentence she break down.

Survival Recommended
The universe is destroyed and its inhabitants are thrown into Existence. Eli finds himself in a new world, with a new body, and a System that's more interested in how he'll die. Follow him on his journey of survival in Realms above ours. The story is already completely planned as far as major plot elements go, and it's LONG, chinese novel long. The premise isnt exactly the most original, but after a couple chapters you won't mistake it for any other novel. Be warned this has little in the way of childish wish fufillment and lots of characters are going to die, so don't get too attached. As this is my first attempt at writing, the begining will probably be a bit rough. Please don't shy from criticisms, and I plan to rewrite most of the begining chapters as I get better.

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
