Edith Lancaster is in a pickle. For the past ten months her mother has entertained her with the notion of getting married. Smart, affluential, and wealthy, Mommy Lancaster wants nothing but the best for her daughter. And that includes the best fish from the sea. Little does she know that Eddie, as everyone calls her, just wants to enjoy life and has no wish to settle down yet. Not to mention Eddie already has a boyfriend. Too bad Mama gets what Mama wants. Just when Eddie thinks she has her mother is off her back the woman announces her so called "great" news... Edith Lancaster is getting married!
The half smile half sneer grew on my mother's face like a disgusting kind of mold. A falling feeling in my stomach made itself known. Something bad was about to happen. Uh-oh. She opened her mouth and spoke, "My daughter, Edith," I flinched at the sound of my name, and cowered slightly when a spotlight appeared on me as well, "Well... She's getting married!"

ARRANGED MARRIAGE "I will not marry anyone. I don't care if it's for alliance, because we both know we don't need it!" I hissed back. Our mafia was one of the most feared, if not the most. No one dared touch us, so why marry a man who cannot give us anything. Before I got to speak up again my father slapped me right across the face. I gasped and put a hand to my cheek. My mouth stayed shut and I sat down in silence. Neither my mother or my brother did or said anything. I wouldn't except them to, since they never did. "I am your father and you will show me respect!" He demanded and sat back down. My cheek ached and I knew it would leave a mark. One I would have to cover up later. "But father, if you just tell me why," I tried and he cut me off again by picking up a fork and throwing it in my direction. He missed by a few inches only. My mother stared blankly down at her plate, not wanting to show my father a reaction. "Do not question me Katherine. You're leaving tomorrow" He said at last. ----------- What happens when the stubborn and independent Katherine Lopez is forced into marriage? Was it all for alliance between two mafias like her father said? And how far will she go to break the arrangement before the wedding date? Will she kill to get what she wants?

You Before Him
Wealth. That's what my family came from. Generation after generation, my family's business expanded and grew throughout the world. And what else added to my family's wealth? Marriage. Which is where my story begins. Sitting across from my father, lips pursed, I processed the words that had passed through his lips. "I found a man worthy of your hand. His family comes from a long line of business men who have invested into stocks, and they own many hotels all over the world. He'll be flying in next week to formally meet you while his parents and I go over some things. If things go well, you'll be married within two months." I sighed as I glanced over to him, his face no longer held the bright and youthful looks that I was so familiar with from my childhood. Instead, his face had sunken in while a family of wrinkles adorned his face. He was still handsome at age fifty, but life had definitely taken a toll on him. "So, what I'm hearing is that I don't have a choice," I deadpanned, sinking deeper into the leather couch I was sat on. "You have a choice," he sighed, removing his glasses from his face and placing them onto his desk, "it's either the man I chose for you or Edward." At the mention of that name, I felt my face fall slightly as a sudden sense of fear traveled my body. I would never marry Edward, not after what he did. "I'll meet him," I said, looking at my dad, watching a small smile light up his face, "one question." "Go ahead and ask," he replied, taking a swig of his whiskey. "What's his name?" He sat back in his chair, watching me with an amused look on his face, "Christopher, Christopher Bang." And in that moment, my face grew red in embarrassment. Oh no.Concluida

The Nuptials of Convenience
"Mom I have told you so many times I don't want to get married," I said to my dear mother, who has not stopped ranting at me. "How long do you want to be an unmarried man? Look at all your friends. Skyler, Zanvil, and now even Skyler have girlfriends, and here you are solving criminal cases. When will you solve your life's case?" My mother taunted me sternly. I pressed my lips in a thin line. "I want to see you happy." She was pissed because I didn't go on a blind date on a Friday. "Mom, I'm happy. I don't want to do blind dates, and I don't ever want to get married. It's not for me," I said sternly, not wanting to take this topic any further. "Then when will I get to see my grandchild?" she said, sounding agitated. If she wanted a grandchild this desperately, then she should not have stopped me from having a surrogate. Only because of her I even gave it a try for surrogacy. "Probably never," I said, cutting the call before she started to do waterworks. "Mom, give me a break," I said in annoyance, and I grabbed my cell phone. I slid up the green button to tell her for the final time. "Hello, am I speaking to Mr. Michele Roberts?" a famine voice said from the other side. I composed myself before opening my mouth. "Yes, you are," I said in a firm tone while still massaging my forehead. I need to take medicine for it. "Sir, I have called you to invite you to the anniversary ceremony of Happy Life Fertility Hospital," she said in her receptionist tone. My brows furrowed when she said that. mouth was sealed when she continued. "We tried to call your wife, but we couldn't reach her. Please bring your four-year-old son too. We are going to do a small celebration because he is our thousandth successful IVF child," she said, sounding happy before cutting the call. The ground beneath my legs was snatched away. I just couldn't believe my ears. What the fuck? I have a wife and a four-year-old son.
