Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress Chapter 35
Advertisement
Zachary is at the bar that they rented.
Family friends and friends are there, also their relatives. He remembered how he left her and it was tearing him slowly at that day. He doesn't want to leave her but he's not just good enough for her and he can't even protect her.
He drank another shot and asked for more but an arm stopped him from drinking. Andrew, his half brother. Although he is annoying, he treated him like a real brother. He's an asshole sometimes but--he doesn't care at all. What he cares about is himself being a failure to her.
"Hey, isn't it supposed to be a happy night?" He asked.
"I don't know."
"If you don't want to marry her. It's okay. You can just give your tuxedo to me and I will present there as a groom."
Zach stopped and looked at him sharply. Andrew smirked.
"You left her. Now, if you are going to do the same, just do it early." It him. Andrew knows how to hit him where it hurts so much.
"You are right. I can't even protect her."
"Then if you want to marry her, start working with that. I loved Andy since we were kids. She never get attracted to anyone but you. You are lucky that someone loves you unconditionally and madly. You have everything, why throw it away?" Andrew was right. After Andrew leave, he had decided. He doesn't want to let her go anymore.
He stood but almost bump into people. He's drunk. He got it.
"I think you need more of it." Allona appear in front of him and offer him a drink. He smiled and pushes it away.
"Water please." He asked the barman and the barman gave him a cold water. He drank it. "Sorry, Al, I don't want it anymore. I have to change it for my Andy. I failed her, now I won't."

"Why do you love her?" Allona asked. "I mean, she practically don't want you anymore. Yet you keep on getting close to her. Why don't you like someone that would love you and care for you."
"I don't need someone like that. Allona, you don't understand. Andromeda was my everything. Every time I saw her smile, acting like a child and happy--I feel like I was over the moon. She's like my life. She gave me happiness and I don't need anything at all in this life but her."
Zach check the time. Quarter to ten. He needed to sleep or maybe visit her first. He just wanted to see her.

Andromeda was overthinking a lot. She visited the bar, wearing a hood and saw how Allona flirt with him. Although he said that he doesn't want to she keep on clinging to him and even shove his breasts on his arms. Zach patted her and pull his arms.
Once that Zach left, she approach the bar and told the barman to wrapped up the drink that Allona supposed to gave to Zach. She always thought to herself, on why did she kill her child without knowing that she's pregnant.
She took a pregnancy test and it was odd that Allona was there. She scoff and wanted to smack herself for being dumb at that moment. Once that Zach left the bar she enter the scene and went to the bar counter. She looked at the drink that Allona wanted to give to Zach. There's one way to know if she's really a scheming bitch. She pulled out a big syringe without a needle from her pocket and took the big amount of alcohol.
"Give me a mimosa." She put the syringe on the case and slid it to her pocket and she dropped the shot glass on the floor.

She pulled out a bill and gave it to the man. She sipped on the mimosa and Allona came asking about the shot glass. Allona looked down on the floor and one of the servers started cleaning it. Allona left without recognizing her and she glower at Allona.
"You called me?" Andel appear beside her. "I am quite busy these past few days that I didn't even join you and Brina."
"Give this to one of my chemist. You were sleeping with one of them, right?"
"Nah… They bore me but yeah sure. I'll give it to them. What is this all about?" He asked. She took her drink to the balcony and Andel followed her.
Andy looked around to make sure that no one is watching.
"After that incident in the church, Zach's security pick me up and took me back to the hospital. The same doctor attend on me and tell me on why I would planned for abortion and get discharged at the same time when I wasn't well. I was confused. Still, I am confused until now."
"Hmm. You mean someone make you drink."
"Yes. The drug was still in my system and I was lost that I didn't get the result. I just remember now. I am so stupid."
"Since I'll be in Hawaii in a few days because of a business meeting. I will meet your doctor. I will take the result. Even though it's two years ago."
"Thank you." She drank her mimosa and looked out the beach to see Zach standing in front of the water staring at the moon. "You were right all this time. I shouldn't take all of my time on trying to kill myself. But I just can't help it every time I saw him. Zach represent as my life back them and I would fight to live but after he left me--I become nothing. Nothing will change at all. I killed my own child and my fiance left me."
"It's not your fault."
"It is my fault." She reached her stomach. The blood of her and her unborn child was in her hand. It is still fresh in her mind.

Barkept
Sellas's first memories are of a bar. Empty tables, dusty cupboards, a few days alone, and a knight that cuts off her head. Sufficed to say, there are some issues. Still, life's not all bad. The knight soon leaves, and every night, the bar restocks its shelves— there's bread, and alcohol, and... Well, no, that's about it. She'd leave if she could, but that doesn't seem to be an option. Trapped in a single, open-floorplan room and tethered to a few dozen meters out the door — Sellas waits, lives, and levels. She is... The [Barkeeper] A stand-alone sister story to Tethered.

Infinity would be the greatest achievement of contemporary game development. A new, next-gen VR system, with many games available on startup. Created by many companies working under a single group - Demiurge Forge Incorporated, a well known even if rather eccentric company. ... and then things went downhill. Horribly so. Now playing the game is not a matter of entertainment... but of survival. In one of the most detailed - and sadistically abusive - settings in history of VRMMORPGs.
8 203The Navigator
I'm a navigator. This essentially means it's my job to ferry goods and/or people from point A to point B. I know, shocking, but here's the thing. I don't navigate the seas or stars. Hell, I don't even have a ship, craft, vessel or vehicle of any description. 'What is it you navigate, then?' you may ask. The chaotic nonsensical void between neighboring realities. That's what.
