《Purchased Wife》Chapter 20: Simple
Advertisement
She woke up rubbing her eyes, trying to rub the sleep away. Looking around, she was still in the office. His office. Her eyes widened as she thought to herself:
Liam will kill for sleeping in his office. Did he leave and went home?
She sat from the couch, thinking she was alone. But she was not. He was sitting on the floor, his back resting against the window wall, working on his laptop.
He was wearing glasses which she has never seen him wear.
He said without looking at her, typing away on his MacBook, "Hope you slept well." He stopped and looked up at her. she asked: "What time is it?" He replied"7 pm."
She sat straight and asked, "Why didn't you wake me?" He looked back at his laptop and said"You were sleeping. I thought that it'll be better for you to rest. Considering what happened yesterday."
She looked at him. His tie off. Starting two buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned, exposing his tan muscular collarbones. The sleeves of his shirt rolled up to his elbows, showing off his veins and his bird tattoo.
His long thin slender fingers working on the keyboards. His thick black brows furrowed as he worked. His blue eyes were serious underneath those glasses. Nothing made him more attractive.
Without looking he asked"Hungry?" She nodded.
"Good. I already ordered."
A couple of minutes later, Liam went down to get the delivery and came back up. She looked at the food and brightly smiled to herself.
He asked, "Why are you smiling?" She looked at him and her smile left her face. She gulped but he kept looking at her for an answer. She replied," I love burgers."Biting her bottom lip, nervous to answer.

She sat on the floor eating quietly, with her burger in her hand. He sat opposite her. In front of her. Her heart racing as to why was he sitting near her.
Out of the blue, he asked: "Tell me a little about yourself." Not something she expected him to ever ask her. She stammered"L-Like What?" He shrugged and said"Anything" She remained in silence. He again asked, "What's your favorite color?"
"B-blue. I like blue."
After that, a comfortable silence falls between them as they devour their delicious burger.

Heyoo!
I'm sorry this chapter is shmall. But I wanted this chapter to be small.
Because I wanted them to have a conversation where that didn't end in a fight, or being scare or anything kind of abuse. Just something simple.

Mistwalker Xyn and the Cult of Eldritch Evil
[Participant in the 2020 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] Having just graduated to adulthood, Xyn is salty about how his lackluster Awakening has resulted in his current derided status within his clan and tribe, particularly when compared to the successes of his litter-siblings. The revelation of the truth about his heritage sets in motion events leading to him traveling to human lands on a secret mission for his tribe. Cringeworthy moments and awkwardness will ensue as young Xyn (an anthropomorphic tiger-kin), raised in the sheltered life of a martial artist, navigates human society with a trusty sidekick or two picked up along the way and might just save his corner of the world while he's at it. Gore will be minimally present as needed to tell a fantasy martial arts tale. There won't be any sexual content, but mild/vague suggestive themes may occur occasionally due to the nature of Xyn's mission and his insecurities. Story should be teen appropriate. Thanks for reading! [Background for the cover art is courtesy GG-graphics via Pixabay.]

Nevertheless, A Fantasy World
Aldieas, a world where five races exist in harmony namely, the Humans, Vasters, Serensis, Oreals, and the Alpsis. Before, this world was bathed in a gruesome bloodbath because of countless war between the races that created their own kingdoms. The lack of progress of the Era earned the disapproval of the God who created the world resulting in sending thirteen Demon Lords to dominate the world and erase any existing races. As the five races fell into despair, they summoned a hero as last resort to fight off the Demon Lords. The hero that was summoned, a lone man, has brought hope and salvation to everyone. Eventually, the hero defeated the Demon Lords but because of what he witnessed about this world, he himself becomes dismayed and chose isolation. Thousand of years has passed and the world has reached a new Era. Right then, the Hero decided to check on things. Author's Note: Do think that this is extremely similar to my other story settings. It's slightly r-15 but I guarantee that any explicit will be tone down. Further emphasis on the story genre will be updated soon.

Dark Lands: The Exile and the Prince
A short time has passed since the siege on Ruined Home has been lifted and as the survivors of the battered encampment slowly begin to rebuild their new home, Aurelius has returned from a failed troll hunt. Yet despite the battered prince’s failures, he has set into motion a series of events that will forever change his life. Meanwhile, Iskra has found herself at the helm of a far more favorable position and begins to forge a path that will lead her towards the first steps of a long road of revenge. Author’s Note: This is the direct sequel to the first Dark Lands story and as time goes on I will update the synopsis to help bring further detail about the story. For now however, I hope you all enjoy what is about to be written. Eight Years Arc: Eight Years have passed since Aurelius and Iskra have first met one another, and a lot has changed since then. The vast majority of Aurelius’ family has been slaughtered by the hands of none other than his oldest brother, a man that the golden haired prince had spent the past several years to hunt down and kill all in the name of vengeance. Upon his return, the kin-slaying prince has found that some things have changed during his absence. Iskra, his first wife and love of his life, has proclaimed that she no longer cares about the events that have been unfolding in her former homeland for the last several years and states that she is solely focused on raising her children. Yet it is through learning that the High Elves have taken a keen interest in the once magically-absent lands of Ranislava that Aurelius decides that action must be taken and thus he journeys south to learn more about what his distant kin are up to in such a backwater region of the world. Who he will meet and what he will do will turn the tides of fate, but in whose favor is something that only the Gods will know. (The Eight Years arc is something that was designed to be written in a way where people don't have to feel the need to go back to the very beginning of the Dark Lands story in order to know what is going on or who the characters are.)
