《His Fake fiancé》Chapter 1
Advertisement
"Miss Miller I wanted those papers on my desk yesterday!"
Mr Black storms into his office, slamming the door behind him.
"Asshole." I mutter under my breath, while grabbing the papers he'd only asked me to get him five minutes ago.
So sorry that I was busy getting your dry cleaning, dry cleaned again! As it wasn't up to your standards. The woman on the phone thought I was prank calling her. I had to spend those five minutes trying to communicate to her that this wasn't a joke and that my boss is just a dick!
I grabbed his precious papers and hurried to his office. I knocked twice and stepped back until he told me I could come in.
I pulled back the large mahogany door and slipped through. Mr Black sat at his desk staring intently at his computer screen.
"Sir? I have the papers you wanted." He didn't look up just gestured for me to place them on his overly organised desk.
I took a step back, waiting to be dismissed. "Miss Miller, why can't I access my emails?" It sounded less like a question and more like an accusation.
"They've updated the system sir, if you reload the page and click the yellow square up in the right corner, you'll find everything you need."
I waited while he tapped away at his screen. "It's not working Miss Miller." I mentally yell at myself for not sending IT up here instead of trying to be a good assistant and solve his problem myself.
I rounded his desk. He looked at me questioningly. Ignoring him I lean down and do just as I'd told him to do three minutes ago. "There." I lean back "your emails."
He doesn't so much as say "thank you." Just a curt nod and a "get me a cup of coffee. Make sure it's not that Starbucks shit, they always burn their coffee."

"Of course sir." I'd gotten him Starbucks once. He didn't even ask for it, I'd offered it as a nice gesture on my part. He'd taken one sip and thrown it in the trash.
I exited his office and sat down at my desk. I dialled my private driver Stanley. A perk of the job I've definitely earned after the consistent midnight runs to get Mr Black a singular file of which he can easily look at on his computer, believe me I've let him know that multiple times but he insists on having the paper version.
I beg Stanley to drive across the city of New York to get a cup of coffee from Mr Blacks favourite coffee shop, Bluestone Lane. I also tell him to pay for everyone's orders. "Are you sure that's wise Miss?"
That man puts me through hell everyday and night of my life so of course I'm going to abuse his credit card "yes Stanley, don't worry he's so rich I doubt he'll notice but if he does? You'll have nothing to do with it."
He chuckles "you two are a good match for each other." I shrug, not that he can see me "thank you Stanley." I use a sickly sweet voice which causes him to chuckle again.
My boss may be hot but he is the boss from hell. If I could go back to my younger self when I was thinking about applying here, I'd hold a gun to her head and make her swear on her life that she wouldn't apply. This is proof that personality is more important than looks. I would never in my life go on one date with that man, sure he looks like one of those Calvin Klein models but when you know the man? Yeah... No! I'd rather have someone pull my teeth out one by one.'

Needletongue, Carrotcake
The world isn't fair. If anything, the inherent injustice of the world is what separates it from the fiction we so adore. Luis Freighthold knew this all too well, and that was why it took a bit longer than it should have to realise when he suddenly had everything he could ever have wanted. Raised in a working-class single-father home, Luis had no other escape than fiction. Specifically, vampire stories of varying quality and genre. There was something appealing about the ability to fly, turn into shadows and become smoke. Danger. An unfamiliarity with the social world that rejected him so. Was it so wrong for him to hope for a different life? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, now he had it—a lust for blood and abilities beyond the understanding of civil man. Could you really say that he had anything left to complain about? A vampire story following an unconventional vampire boy forced to accept that maybe becoming a vampire doesn't magically solve all your problems. As a matter of fact, it might just make a whole bunch of them even worse. Regardless, Luis is prepared to try everything to live up to the vampire books he had previously gorged on. What did it matter that his vampire form had no teeth, replaced instead by a long, needle-tipped tongue? He was still a vampire, wasn't he? Chapters are around 10 A4 pages long, releasing once a week on Mondays, 01:00 CET.

Before she could answer, the loud bang of the door opening interrupted the concerned maid. Four soldiers came as they draw their swords circling around the poor lady as she was held by her maid. A man with a look of disgust and hatred was visible towards her as he uttered the following words. "Take her, and step away from her" The grip from her maid tightened around her, as she defends "No! I will not, nor will do anything you says!" "Very well, take both of them." As the guards start approaching them, the maid struggled as she watched her lady get taken. "This is nonsense! Lady Francheska did nothing wrong!" "Nothing wrong..." the man repeated, turning to the Lady held by two guards, he spoke what led the situation. "Francheska Del Von Hartpinjer, you are held responsible for the attempted killing of the crown prince." As the words reached to the 'now' Francheska, her face grew pale as she remembered what her friend have told her. This is the part where the antagonist is going to die.
