Chapter 7: Gates closed for you Everything was perfect. From the dress of the bride to the setting of the wedding itself. Mury couldn't be happier. She had all she wanted at that moment. "Dearest sister" her oldest brother gave her a hug. "The day has come has it not? The day that you will leave all of us here." "I've been through this with with mom and dad. I am only getting married not disappearing from the world." Samuel huffed. "You only say this because you haven't even gotten into your in-laws' house. Once you do you'll forget all about us." "Maybe you because you seem to have little faith in your sister but I will come back for my other family members." Samuel hit her cheek. "Cheeky thing you are. Don't finish your in-laws' food alright? Behave yourself. And when anyone starts trouble with you come to us your brothers and you know we'll solve it immediately. Even your sisters will kill someone for you little one." Mury putted. "Little one? Brother why do you still call me
Chapter 8: Crises that scare me Mona got married to an unhappy Garry. She didn't care as long as the unborn child she carried would be well taken cared of. She was happy now because everything was now solved. Her child would have a name and a father who could afford to take care of care of the both of them. "We will not sleep in the same room." Garry told her the moment he got into the room she was told was his and hers now. "That's absolutely fine with me" "Good then. Now get out of my room." "Oh no-no" Mona wouldn't be given orders. "You're the one who wants to separate from me are you not?" "It is my room" Garry argued. "Go find your own. There are many in this house" "Then go take one of those as your new bedroom. I go nowhere." Garry stormed out of the room. Banging the door behind him. Mona laid back on bed. "This will be a rough marriage." * ** ***Sire didn't go to the wedding. He laid on his bed. A knock on his door came. He thought it was his mother chec
Chapter 9: Good liar Two days of being married to a woman who he didn't want to get married Garry was in his mother's garden watching her tend to her beloved plants. She often went there to be alone with her flowers, roses and all her beautiful growing plants. But today she had decided to call Garry there. And Garry knew that when this happened it often meant that she had something serious to tell him. He was curious to know what it was since he had not gotten into any 'trouble' recently. He thought that he was now finally acting as the responsible son his parents wanted him to be. "Son" his mother's melodious voice whisked him back to reality. She cut out a few flowers. "I have been watching your wife" she told him with a smile. He didn't care. But if he wanted to pretend like the husband that he was to Mona he should at least ask. "Watching her why mom?" "She has been showing signs son." His mother only said not elaborating further but Garry was already thinking about wha
Chapter 10: Never In Your Life A panicked Sire went to Garry everything he had been told. Garry couldn't understand what Sire was saying. He was saying it too fast. So he took Sire by the arm leading him to the bed,sat him down and told him to breathe. "Now tell me what you're here to say" "I am getting married" Sire said first and Garry nodded since he already knew this information. "My fiance's friend came with her to visit. And I was feeling off. She's a midwife in training and she felt something weird in my stomach" "Something weird?" "Weird being that she felt a growing fetus in me. I would have said it's false. But I now remember that I had on the ring so it's very possible." Garry was bewildered. "What? What ring?" Sire nodded. "If what she said is true then I'm pregnant Gar. The ring is something that my father should have given me but my cousin gave me instead. The point is it has the power to give me children. I forgot that I had it on when we made love.
Epilogue: Fiercely The Present...Sire's sudden laughter broke the whole storytelling. His infectious laugh absorbed both Mona and Mury to laugh along with him. For a few minutes the loud laughing was the only thing that sounded in the living room and achoed throughout the house. They all were laughing at the old times. The times that they had spent together as friends and family. Sire wiped the almost falling out of his eyes tears because of the laughing he had just done. He got back to being quiet for a while. Watching his two former friends with calculated eye contact. "At that time things were more simple. You know? Lighter times that I never thought would turn into what they did. I never thought they'd hit up enough to cause those fires they did. Burning everything in sight. "His face went down just at the thought of what her went through because of the women sitting on his couches at his house. He had once vowed to never let them back inside again. He didn't know what
Another Soul Nicolas Shay is getting married to a duke. He is pregnant with the child of the duke. He isn't happy. Not because he doesn't love his husband to be but because he can't take being the one who has to keep all the secrets that make him want to burn himself alive. For years I've been minding my business. I have never been one who cared for anyone other than the people who I loved and regarded as my own. Never have I troubled anyone with anything because I'm a hard worker. I work hard to provide for myself and my family. But what should I do when my dear ones are taken away from me by the same people who should be my family now. Should I really fold my arms and wait until they strike? I don't even have the courage to be happy anymore. Not when I see them happy as well. The only one I always think about is him. I shouldn't make things difficult for him. Because he will be hurt. But what about them who died without even getting justice? Should I fold my arms and wait
Chapter Two: Not Even A Thousand Skies Heartbroken as he was Nicolas came back to the palace. He only wanted to go to bed and shut himself in the bedroom for a while. The sight of his grandma who he knew loved him closing the door at him and her throwing him out of the house as a child she couldn't stop inviting him in. "Ah" a female voice made him raise his eyes from the ground he had been looking at. Mury. Edward's aunt was here and she smiled at him as if she wasn't the person who packed all that was hers and left when he and Edward got engaged. "Las" she easily nicknamed him without even having a proper conversation with him yet. Because of the respect that he had been taught to have from his house he had to smile back and bow to his soon to be aunt in-law. Yes he had slipped up time to time with it but he never really disrespected anyone intentionally. The person had to have done something that warranted him to be rude to them. "Edward did not tell me you would visit
Chapter Three: I'm Not Sure It was a long ceremony with even longer prayers. Nicolas couldn't believe they were finally over and that he was now finally not knelt on his knees in a ceremony he didn't even know he wanted to be part of. He lay on bed. Rolled to the other side since Edward wasn't in the room yet. Probably still chatting it up with his aunt. The thought of the forceful woman made Nicolas groan. If she was like that then he would prefer her away from him. He didn't need more trouble in his life. And that's exactly what would happen if she tried to throw yet another surprise in his face. He didn't like surprises especially ones that involved him having to do something he didn't want to do. So if his in-law made the mistake of thinking she could do whatever she thought with him she had another thing coming. He didn't want to be the one to cause conflict but he will fight for himself if he has to. "I don't want this" he whispered under his breath. A hand caress
