《The Tales of love- I》14.3:"Past".

her lavish bed but the loneliness haunted her in this big empty room. It was more of the horror she had witnessed through the years that had held onto her so tight that had her breath stuck.
She wondered what life would be away from this house.
She had been working to put her plan in action but she just couldn't because even if she don't want to agree she was scared little girl behind her walls that once stood in front of her adopted mother and ended in a basement with no food, light or sign of life for 5 days.
She wondered if a woman has that capability of being so cruel to another woman or a child. Isn't woman labelled or called the most beautiful creature then why is that some are not?.
"Will you promise me something?". He asked looking at her tears filled face, "Wait for me, I will come back and take you away from this".
"How?". She said sniffing
"I will marry you". He said determined, "Will you?".
She nodded.
She remembered it all. She remembers that promise she made when she was naive. But, that promise seems so strong still and so real. She raised her hand asking her lord to show her a way that she should take from now on.
"I told you before she is my property and I will never let her leave me". She heard Humna yelling
She walked out of her room standing at the top of the stairs looking at the same man she saw some time ago. The more she looked at him she could read his eyes better. He was obsessed with her, for sure. He wanted her not needed her.
His eyes turned to her and that was the first time she had seen directly in his eyes but it was enough to send her body in paralysis. If she had to bear her adopted mother so long in a hope of a better future there was no way she was risking her coming life to this man.
"I will marry you". The word he had long to hear
His heart stopped when he finally had her as his. The day he had for years-long for. No matter how far he was from her every single day he would be closer to her. To have her as his wife was a mission he needed to do. He needed her in his life.
"Let's leave the dramatic scene. I am leaving". She said smirking at the woman of her miseries
"You will not leave my house". Humna yelled from her wheelchair
She rolled her eyes, "I know you have an obsession over me but I would rather start living now".
"You will never be happy and I will never leave you". Humna said angrily as she saw her leaving
"Three P's". She said sitting on the couch with him and his family
"What's that?". His father asked
"My mother weakness". She replied shrugging, "People, Power and pride".
"Details Sarah". Ahad said rolling his eyes looking at her beautiful face
She sighs, "She has a serious obsession over people. She doesn't help people but when she does she think of them as her property and they are indebted to her for life. Then, power, she had obtained a big amount of it with the company she thinks that company and power will last forever. Pride, is something she holds dear to herself when I stood against her in front of her employer she had me punished because it seems like her own daughter was against her".

"I heard she is married". She heard as she entered inside
She frowned because marriage was only to stand on her own not for anyone else, at least for now. She walked through the hallway to his class and her anger rising every moment. But, she calmed herself down walking back to her own class and thinking of dealing with him later.
"Why did you tell them?". She said
"Because, I wanted them to know". He replied smiling
She rolled her eyes, "I don't even understand what that means".
He tapped her forehead, "Don't think too much you have better things to think about".
"She was forced into this marriage". Her mother yelled angrily
She stands on the side looking at the woman losing her mind slowly. That was something Humna used to do with her. She would punish her in ways that satisfy her and watch her being defeated or breaking every single day. She sees everyone fighting over her and the policeman who is actually the paid man of her mother standing there.
"This man doesn't deserve my daughter". Humna said gritting her teeth
"I would like to show something". She finally spoke having it enough
She stands from her leaning position on the wall walking with her phone in her hand she forwards the phone to the policeman and watches as everyone gathered around him watching the video of the last time she was hit by the stick for spending too much.
"She did that to you?". She heard his mother cry but kept looking at the pale face of Humna
She smirked, "Can I speak to you privately officer?".
The officer nodded as she moved to the other side with him.
"My mother is mentally ill and that could be proven in many ways. She had been abusing me and I have proofs of them. But, I also have proofs of you taking money from her and working for her so you have to choose sides". She said looking at the officer
"She wasn't forced into this marriage and we are sorry for the inconvenience". The officer said avoiding Human shocked eyes
She smirked looking at her mother breaking slowly in front of her. That was her step one from her long term plan.
"How does it feel, mother?". She said
Human turned her anger-filled eyes as she rolls her wheelchair towards her, "I will never accept defeat. You will come back to me".
She shrugged, "You should have never captured a bird in the first place. They are meant to always fly".
"What's the next step?". He asked sitting beside her
"I have an important meeting tomorrow after school". She replied looking down at her hands remembering how she used to step on them
He looked at her looking at her hands and his hands clenched as he remembers the same day he somehow wandered into her house.
He moved closer to her covering her hands with his own holding them tightly.
"You should only remember the touch that comforts you". He said softly
She smiled, "Why is that you are always there in my worst situations?". She paused as she looked deep into his eyes, both feeling their heartbeat rising, "Why weren't you there then?".
He sat down on the bed looking at her sleeping on the other side while he remains awake. Her words cut so deep and he couldn't even begin to imagine just how much she must have suffered from everything.

They were both young.
The day he wandered into her house was because he wanted to explore the giant villa not knowing that what he was about to witness will take his sleep away for years. That day, he watched as she laid down on the cold floor with Humna standing on her tiny hand breaking it. The blood and her screams always have him awake.
He was scared, so was his family.
They ran away.
He wasn't ready for it but his parents had him drink something and he was awake hours later far away from her. He screamed, cried and did everything because he never wanted to abandon her, he never did, but somehow he actually did (in her eyes).
The day he turned 18 he was back in town with the next ticket. In these years, he spent a countless night trying to connect to her but she wasn't ever a social person so she never had anything and with a woman like that like her mother, she took away all things she could use to socialize.
Today, when she looked at him he felt the years of suffering she-bear alone thinking of him and its nothing compared to his own.
Each night, they both think of one another in their own world.
She looked around to find him somewhere but it was like he wasn't here. After yesterday, he hadn't spoken to her, not a word, which worries her in some way. It was fun having him speak to her so much. It would always divert her mind off things.
She sighs.
It was only him she had wanted all these years and now that she has him she has no idea about things.
"Isn't it my favourite person?". Mustafa said grinning
She sighs again.
"What do you want?". She said
"Is that how you talk to your first love?". He said
"You are not my first love". She said, "More like a very bad replacement".
Mustafa eyes filled with anger, "What did you just say?".
"I said, you meant nothing to me or I would have broken badly and actually remember you at times. Honestly, the more I think those two months, it wasn't just you playing with me it was I playing too". She smirked, "How does that make you feel?".
"You are lying, you never told-". He started
"Exactly! The fact that you have no idea about him shows how much of an idiot you actually are to believe in your victory". She said smirking
"You are lying". He yelled, "If he is real, who is he?".
"My husband". She replied and her own eyes widen
"I don't believe you have one. Who is he?". He asked
"Ahad". She said proudly
"Why do you look so different?". He asked as he sat beside her, "Are you by chance angry at me?".
She rolled her eyes looking directly at her book. He smiled looking at her holding the book upside down and turned it around for her only for her to look at him annoyed. Still, he always loves looking in her eyes.
"You are holding it wrong. I wonder what you were reading". He grinned at her shocked face
She looked down and groaned going back to watching the book.
"Is the book more interesting than your own husband?". He asked smirking
Her heart flutters but she didn't show. Even when she tries hard not to her cheeks turned a light shade of red causing his heart to skip a beat at the pure beauty that sat in front of him. Though, she does nothing, she still manages to take his heart away.
"Why are you not leaving?. I was pretty happy when I didn't see you all day". She said angrily
He smiled genuinely, "So, you missed me".
She rolled her eyes, "Don't be ridiculous".
"Yeah, that's why you were so proud of calling me your husband". He said grinning
Her eyes widen, "W-What no".
He moved closer to her with their face few inches apart, "I am sorry for leaving you for a long time but I was building the courage to tell you something". He paused looking into her eyes that shine, "I never abandoned you".
"What's is the meaning of this?". Humna yelled at her secretary as she lost her deal
Today was the shareholder meeting to have a deal with another company who were present there too only to refuse the deal.
"It means Ms. Humna, that we are not going for this deal. We believe that you are not healthy enough to continue this business and that there should be someone else who is young and passionate". The dealer says as everyone whispers, "Perhaps, your hidden daughter, I heard she is a gem. She can handle the business. I heard that you have some mental illness too".
That was how Humna lost the deal and the trust of the people who were always there when she was bringing in the deal. Business is never fair to anyone or loyal.
She was almost defeated.
"So, now we have taken both people and power from her. What's next?". He asked sitting on the couch looking at their favourite movie
"She is a very determined woman. There is no way she will allow me to just stay here. She is on something we need to play the last card before she does something". She said thinking
"So, why the sudden walk in the park?". He asked holding her hand as they walked
She shrugged, "I used to love them so I wanted to do it again".
"Yeah, we would always come here". He said remembering their time together
She nodded.
She looked around the people enjoying with their family imagining one of her own which flutters her heart. The fear of being a mother after being a victim of the same figure is bigger but so is the need to have her own child and love her/him to no end.
She would love to have her own child.
Her eyes stopped and so does her breathing when she saw the glimpse of someone she had last seen years ago. She could still remember that day clearly even when she was just a child that day was the only one that had stayed in her memories, imprinted.
She took a strong stride towards the woman who was smiling with her children a little younger than her.
"Mother". She said angrily

8 1140Now That's Entertainment(a system apoc litrpg)
Julia Crane was an experienced police officer who'd thought she'd seen it all. When the world as she knows it ends and the games begin, she realizes she hasn't seen anything yet. Follow along through this system apocalypse style litrpg novel. Contains adult language, realistic depictions of violence, and other possible triggers. I've self published a couple of other novels, but I'm new to royal road so formating and posting schedule is up in the air until I get a handle on the site.
8 79The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
