And that was how The Arrangement came to existence. And also how Astoria ended up married with the said infamous gentleman.
Astoria still does not believe in love and her husband just wants to enjoy all the pleasure life can offer him.
Every young lady dreams with a match made in heaven, but this one has all it takes to be doomed.

Call Me Up Again
A Taylor Swift fanfic - Máire never expected a wrong number to change her life forever. At first, she didn't think much of it, but when the unknown caller keeps blowing up her phone and she ends up talking to the charming and mysterious woman that wants to keep her identity a secret, she finds herself drawn to that girl more with each text and late-night call. Neither of them knew that sometimes the most unexpected connections can lead to the most profound relationships. As they continue to grow closer, navigating the challenges of time zones, long-distance communication and their vastly different lives, both of them soon must decide if they're willing to take a leap of faith and uproot everything they've known so far. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction! Most characters and places were created in my head, except for real life people, like celebrities and especially Taylor herself. Their actions and words are completely imaginary. I wrote everything with the utmost respect for Taylor and anyone who makes an appearance and it's intended to entertain and nothing more. We don't assume peoples sexualities here, we just vibe. Timeline won't be a hundred percent accurate to make this story make sense, but major events are still a thing.Complete
Diamond Heart 💎
------- He loved the girl that can't love him.....And now he can't love the girl that loves him -------- ** "Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out. He tilts his head back over the back of his chair in a lazy laid back way, his thumb and fingers now holding his chin, as he watches me leave, still with a small smile on his face. "I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble. So he moves forward with his future, making sure that no woman is unclear about his intentions about love, or carries any hopes of marriage and happily ever after..that is not in his destiny. It's really simple actually: -Nothing lasts forever... especially love. -Nothing is long term... When it comes to his relationships. -Everyone is replaceable... So don't get too comfortable. But that is not to say that the ride will not be exceptionally enjoyable, while it lasts.. But such an arrangement, is not something Raquel St Patrick can wrap her head around. Whimsical, Peculiar, Optimistic, Independent, Eccentric, Deviant...are all words one can use to describe her, Her very nature is to go against the odds. For her, it's all or nothing. Can Aaron convince her to jump along on the ride with him on his terms....? But what happens when the lines start to get blurred and they get so intertwined that it's harder to separate, than stay together. * Books by Bellamerce 1) Only For You (Completed) 2) When Stars Align (Completed) 3) Fire On Fire (Completed) 4) Diamond Heart (Completed)Complete

Just Revenge (#1)
I looked at his eyes and put up a strong face. His eyes bore into mine as much as mine into his. It was like he could read my mind and reach out to my soul just by looking into my eyes. I tried to read his thoughts, too, but it felt like he had blocked me out this time. Nothing seemed clear to me anymore. Tears were burning behind my eyes and threatening to pour out. I forced myself to hold them back and asked him, "Just revenge?" Without a ting of emotion on his face, he said, "Just Revenge." ********************************************* Amelia Lawson had a perfect life.
