"...what did you have to agree to, mom?" I asked, confused. The king was rarely so harsh on halfs, and especially with mere agreements. What could he possible want that could make my parents feel guilty? Especially something that concerned me! My mom gazed down at her hands again. "You're getting married in a month, Trina...to the king's son." ~> The rest "...I...I'm WHAT!?"

Bound to You
An arranged marriage. A deal struck between a new King and Queen. Lies and acts to prove their reign to power hungry nobles. And a gravitational pull towards one another that neither can nor want to stop. Alessia: I left everything behind. My home, my brothers, and the boy I loved who was going to take me away from my father's control. However, all that changed the second my father shipped me off to France to marry their new and young King Darian. It's clear he carries the wait of his family on his shoulders. I know our marriage is a sham to appease his court and I am nothing but a pawn always being shifted around my father's game. But what my father doesn't realize is that he made a Queen in his deal. And I'll be damned if I fall for a king who may never love me back. Darian: I wanted nothing to do with this arranged marriage. But from the moment I saw her everything changed. In exchange for promising to never send her home at her request I got her to agree to playing the part of the happy married couple to appease the nobles trying to take my family's power. However, once I start falling for my beautiful and strange wife who can wield a bow better than anyone I know and never fails to surprise me I know things are about to get a lot more complicated. And I'm starting to regret ever making this a fake marriage in the first place.Complete
Issues Of The Heart
"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.......Complete

That Should Be Me (Jemi)
" There's something I have to tell you Joe. " I mention playing with my fingers underneath the table, I haven't felt this many butterflies in my whole life. Which is saying a lot since my life has been a little crazy. I did date one of the Jonas Brothers when they were the world's biggest group, so I know a bit about being nervous or under pressure. " Really, I have to tell you something as well. " Joe replies with a familiar smile that I haven't seen since we were dating. Hopefully I will get to see it a lot more once I tell him what's on my mind. " Tell me. " I say smiling back, maybe we both wanted the same thing. If so, this will have worked out better than I have planned. " Well can you keep a secret? " He asks making me a little curious, I nod in response wondering what it is. " The Ceremony is set for June. I know it's a rush, but I love Blanda a lot. I can't wait for you to meet her." He confesses making my heart completely stop.Complete
