Novel & Cerita Marriage And Sword

"You didn't answer me what she is doing here." It seems that they are talking about an important matter that I can't be a part of. His wariness is more than evident. But I am aware of what he means by the matter. Marriage was always present between the acquisition papers, now that there is no union between the families, they are very close to losing everything. Even this old, painful, ugly mansion. "What I do or don't do is not your problem." His words are cutting like a double-edged sword. "Now I have to give you explanations for my actions? You've always been a pushover like your brother, you think you can bully me?"

"Divorce Lucas, Florence. Marry me and get your revenge on him. He'll be half out of his mind when he found out that you married me. Our union will help crush him. When we get married, I'll let you live your life, and I'll live mine. We won't get in each other's way—We just have to stay married for only a year. And to top it all up, I'll give you fifty million dollars as compensation for helping me get the company." A picture of Lucas and Amy's cruel faces came into my view. I thought about all the sacrifices I made in my marriage with Lucas. I thought about everything I’d done for Amy as my best friend and how they choose to repay me. They both deserved to be punished, to feel the heart wre

"Hand over 750 grand, and I'll vanish. Refuse, and I'll haunt you every waking moment." Like father, like son, both had dollar signs for souls. I snapped my fingers, and my muscle stepped out of the shadows, disarmed Matthias, and gave him a taste of his own medicine. He did not last long before he was sprawled out, howling on the ground. I strolled up, spat on him, and made it clear, "Cross my path again, and it's another beating, guaranteed." Two months later, I tied the knot with my assistant, Wendy Gibson. We threw one hell of a bash.

"I know you're wondering why we need to talk right now. It is about the marriage between you two." That's exactly how I feel! "I paid Elise a visit and spoke with her three days ago. We had not explained the marriage exchange to any of you," he continued. "In the settlement, I had provided. This marriage freed Verdan from the debt of Anthony, your grandfather, Miss Verdan. This will include the family lands and estate owned by your grandfather's family. It will be given back to your family. This marriage should not have fallen on the two of you, but because Sebastian, your father, Miss Verdan, did not commit to the settlement and married your mother, it does."

She answered truthfully. He nodded and offered his hands, “Want to go for a stroll?” She thought about it for a second and answered him, “Can we duel? I miss using my sword.” Of course, she had brought her sword with her to her room…his brother even put it there in her suitcase for security. “Duel? As much as I want to say yes, Vienna, but you're now my wife. A duchess at that. Huxley said not to let you use the swords now.”

she repeated, louder. He caught her hand up from his thigh and pressed it to his lips with open adoration. “You are right of course, my wife,” he said with a smile. “A sword is exactly what she needs. She can wear any old armour, but if she wields a sword… A magic sword,” he nodded. “Give me the night, and a chance to speak with my brother and father, and we shall see what can be done for you.”

"Even now…." "I thought we agreed on a peaceful breakfast," my mother said, her voice strained. "Please stop." Too late. I dropped my cutlery. The sound echoed. "I will not be forced," I said. "Not into marriage. Not into obedience." I turned and walked out. Cold air hit as I stepped outside. One of my guards opened the car door. I got in without speaking. As the house shrank behind me, my hands clenched. A woman I did not know. A marriage used as leverage. My father thought this would break me but it drew the first line of war.

They saw the bloody sword I wielded, and it was easy to know that I knew how to use it. “I said get her,” He yelled, and then two summoned the courage to attack me. I couldn’t remember the last time I made used of a weapon, but it was actually when I went on a hunt with the king. That was shortly before we were married. But my life was at stake, and it was either I killed or got myself killed. I lifted my sword and took the first swing. An enemy was hit, and he fell to the ground. I would have been hurt a bit if I knew who he was, but I was certain that he was not one of us, and so were many others.

A L Y S S A My heart thunders as the words register in my mind... I will marry her... Stephano has agreed to marry me... just like that... I watch as Mrs Valentino releases a breath she has clearly been holding, her shoulders relaxing slightly, while her husband nods once, satisfied, both of them glancing at each other before they both look at their son, then at me. I stand there, stunned, my mind struggling to catch up to what has just happened. I have not agreed to anything out loud, yet my future has been decided in front of me like a business deal concluded without my signature.

Dad is still breathing hard as I walk over to him on shaky legs, my hand clutching the sword like a lifeline. “There will be no bloodshed today.” I say, shocked by the strength in my voice when my insides are quivering with fear. I don’t want to get married to the war alpha. I don’t want to leave my pack, my family to settle down in unknown territory but there’s something even more important than all of that. I lift my cloak and raise the gargantuan sword and there is a collective intake of breath around the courtyard but it’s only Dad’s face I’m looking at.
