"What do you mean I'm engaged?" I asked incredulously. "There's no freaking way I'm-"

"Read it again." The lawyer in front of me says and I squint my eyes at him as I pick the stupid sheet of paper up and read it as he says, but I can't find it. The man sighs before speaking. "Number 9, sub-clause 7-d: I solemnly agree to a sworn promise of celibacy and to-"

"Marry the man liable for my educational and living expenses..." I finish off. "Oh you've got to be kidding me, it's in the fine print!" I exclaim and the lawyer smirks at me.

"Unfortunately Mr. A, does not wish to disclose any further information. But please enjoy your stay." The lawyer says and I squint my eyes at him.

"Mr. A?" I asked and the man grins.

"Stands for Mr. Anonymous. Has a nice ring to it, no?" The lawyer says and I fume as he packs up his suitcase.

What happens when your feelings and thoughts don't agree? You feel like there's a battle happening inside you. Your heart tells you what you really want to hear, but your stubborn mind won't quiet down. This is exactly what happened to Chris Collins, the popular guy at his university and the future CEO of his company. He got hurt deeply before, and he'll do anything to avoid getting hurt again. Everyone wants to get close to him, but he's built high walls around his heart. His piercing blue eyes and harsh words hurt people, just like they did to Amber Milburn, a new student at the university, and his potential future... something or everything? *** "How could you do that to me? Why did you make me sign such a contract." I asked, furiously. He looked up from his laptop and smirked looking at me. "As far as I remember, I didn't make you sign the contract, did I? You signed it on your own If I am not wrong. It is entirely your fault if you signed it without reading the documents properly. The first rule in the business is, Never sign any papers without reading them properly." he said looking at me with his evil smirk. "I deny to follow that contract." I said, challenging him. "Your wish, Ms. Milburn. You can walk out of the company any moment you want and meet my lawyers in the court tomorrow," he said, leaning back on his chair. "You're cruel, Chris." I said helplessly. "It's Mr. Collins for you, Ms. Milburn. I hope you have learnt the basic etiquette and know what professionalism means or else your business degree is of no use." he said, sternly. "I hate you!" I said, furiously. "Now if you are done wasting my time then go and bring me my cup of coffee. No sugar. Now out!" he said as he concentrated on his laptop. I walked out of his company, helpless. These three months are going to be the most disturbing and stressful three months of my life. Read to find out more!

"Father? " she calls in a cranky tone "What is really the meaning of these documents? ". He scoffs and sips his coffee less concerned " What does it look like? " he snaps "It's an arranged marriage obviously". He continues reading his newspapers and a tear drops down her face. " Father why are you doing this to me? " she whimpers "Why do you badly want to punish me? ". She chokes back the tears that were threatening to pour out " Because you've refused to grow and change!" he rasps "You have just decided to kill me before my time. You have already done enough and i'm quite fed up". He closes his newspaper and leans closer to her. " You are going to show up on your wedding day and marry the man i have chosen for you. Don't make things harder than it already is". He sprang up and storms out, she fell to the floor sobbing in unbearable pain. *Helena, a perhaps spoilt, wealthy young woman with the face and body. Of course she's every mans' dream but she rather sees men as a toy to be used and tossed aside. Actually she prefers the opposite, she doesn't want to fall victim of a situation where a man will use her and dump her like they are termed to always do. "So, literally she has no care in the world. But now the table has rotated and she's in for a forever game. Apparently, the above argument shows that her father signed an arranged marriage with a man she has never met and un-fortunately, there's no turning back........... Read More.......
Proposal of Submission - Psychic the Saga by TheShdwStr9000
6 parts Complete Mature
Hello, I want to first thank you for taking the time to read my proposal, as I know that there are many others you must work through who have done the same as I; please, trust me when I say that your attention is greatly appreciated. I am messaging you today because I wish to submit a selection of excerpts taken from the series of science fiction/science fantasy stories I have written; called Psychic the Saga. I'm a former United States Marine, and a currently enrolled Aerospace Engineering undergrad at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. Over the course of the last eight years, during which the earlier stated experiences have occurred in my adult life, I have continually written the story I am now presenting for your consideration. Outside of writing as a hobby, and what was needed when submitting assignments, my only writing credential is a published engineering research paper in the European Physical Letters: 'Tailorable Twisting of Biomimetic Scale-Covered Substrate'; of which, my main contributions were that of the experimentation, and the editing/proofreading of the paper. In regards to my submission, the story of Psychic follows our trio and the rest of their friends as they fight for peace and stability within the newly unveiled realm of psychics, once hidden amongst the world for untold millennia. The statistics of Book One are as follows: word count = ~205279, page count = ~396, target audience = young/new adult (16~34 yr. of age). The reasoning behind this age range is two-fold: the concepts, morals and lessons, themes, and situations/ problems faced by the main characters are both relatable and beneficial for this age group; also yes, there is foul language, and yes there are very visceral depictions of violence. Also also (lol), I wish to give a disclaimer in terms of any romance, love, or anything else similar; I intentionally never take the story beyond anything more intimate than a kiss. So there. Sincerely, and with the utmost gratitude,

20 parts Complete
A story of a girl who had been working without any break since she turned 18. She was not a workaholic, but she was intended to work, to not pressurize her parents. "Hey! Can we become more than friends?" he said catching me up from behind as I walk through the hallway, back to my locker. "Oh! Boyfriend! Sorry, I wasn't knowing that." He said as he saw me looking down at the ring I had on my finger, fidgeting it and giving him a small smile. "Hey! No! I'm not committed or something!" I said reluctantly correcting him, as he mistook me with the ring. "Oh! So, is it a YES?" he asks with sparkles in his eyes. "Sorry! But I don't want to get into these stuffs... at least right now!" I said, knowing it'll hurt him. "But don't you worry! We'll be good friends!" I told him to cheer him up. He passed me a weak smile and went to his locker, as I went to mine. Sammie, a 23-year-old girl, currently doing her graduation at Ohio University with Computer Science major and Music as minor. She was well-known girl in her college for her great performance in academics and in co-curricular activities as well. She always used to be in teachers' sight. She had half-back length hair, average height, and a not-so-skinny physique with a friendly, helpful and kind nature always had a ring on her finger. Having a friendly nature with everyone, she still had no 'best-friend' to share her daily life, though she was close to one friend Ally. She was from Los Angles, having a tall, skinny figure, she had shoulder length golden hair, and was so pretty. She would call her mother keep a check on her family living far away in India and would pay a visit to them once in a year or so. What will happen when the secrets of the ring be spilled? What happened in her past? Why did she say no to the commitments?
