My name is Jules Richard.
One day, my parents decided to have an arranged marriage of me with an unknown man. I did not like it when my brain first interpreted those words. Then I remembered my boyfriend and I are people that we used to know, I just let it be. Maybe this could make my ever ugly, depressed frown curve upwards. I know, marrying an anonymous guy is CRAZY but I didn't see the purpose in life anymore. Might as well.
So far, this guy is nice and stuff but I'm thinking it's only to make me happy so I'll accept his offer. Yeah, it is already arranged anyway dude. I wished I could've said no. And when I mean nice, I mean it's wear you'll see green every single day with it's signature sound effect of, cha-ching.
Buying this and that for me and yeah, nothing impresses me. Money, eh, it can't grant me an awesome voice box, make me young forever or even flawless skin. Ok, that last part could happen but nah.
So here's the thing, if I marry this guy, I can have anything I want. But the sad part is that I fell for someone else, just a few minutes before I met him. How cruel life could be? And you couldn't believe who was this guy.
Anyway... if you wanna know how, who and what is going on, just press Continue Reading and you'll see monkeys- I mean the story. I'll meet you readers in the last chapter or in between. Get on with it!! There's nothing left in this description!! Go!

Don't Hurt Me: Book One (bxb) ✔️
Book one of six in the Chaotic Hearts series. BOOKS MUST BE READ IN ORDER. - RIVER MINTZ: Listen, I need you to hear me out. I'm a little bit impulsive, and I don't think anything through enough before I'm implementing my next plan of action. And it's because of my impulsiveness that I even ended up in this heartbreaking situation. See, I was falsely engaged to a man-a straight man named Louis-who did some awful things in his lifetime. You don't even want to know. But my parents had sent me to college and told me to discover life outside my wealth. I needed money. But when I found out what Louis had done, I immediately left. I didn't want anything to do with him. He was a vile human being. I should have known better. However, I didn't want my parents to know that I was someone's pet, so while they knew nothing about Louis, I also never told them we broke things off out of fear of my Mother's hound nose discovering what I'd done to make money during college. It's been five months since I ended things with him, and my Mom begged me to come home for Christmas this year and to bring my fiancé. And I couldn't very well say we were no longer together out of thin air, right? I had to figure something out, or my Mom would know I was lying. So, why did my ex-boyfriend, Seven Knight, appear in Chicago when he lived in Vermont, last I heard? Why did he agree so easily? Why was he so willing to go along with this? Mom found out my "fiancé" is Seven, and now she is begging us to get married on Christmas! What do I do?! We haven't seen or spoken in years because we... had to discover life outside of one another. But what I never told him? I never wanted that. And now, I have to pretend we're happily together, and it's confusing my brain. I still love him. I crave him. I need him. But I have doubt that he feels the same. It's been too long. I don't have much to offer. How could he still want me? Ha. What a fun Christmas holiday this will be, right?Complete

Pluto&Mars
PROLOGUE: There was a man sitting at home, fiddling with his pencil, trying his best to do his job. This man sat back and sighed. He was famished and in an empty house. He was about to move. Boxes littered the hallway. He had gotten a new job in another state and knew it would be better for him and for those around him. On his last deadline, he knew not what to think about, let alone the blank blueprints he was meant to fill in. He preoccupied his time with thoughts of the past, romance, and grief. He thought of the man he'd loved. The man he still loved. He thought of the house he dreamt of having with him. He considered what would make it special for them. He pictured them dancing in their living room. Then, he started to sketch his dreams, thinking of the story that would change his entire life. He attempted the home he wanted, and yet it wasn't perfect. It never was. Not for them, no. He stared at the blueprints for a long while before amending it to the customer's liking. That was his trick. This time; however, it was different. He started to remember their entire time together with simultaneous happiness and sadness. This man's name was Pluto. He was known as such since elementary, and it was, for such a long time, matching with one other. Mars. Pluto and Mars. This, now, was a distant memory. One of love and loss. This is the tale of two kids, two friends, and two lovers. Pluto and Mars.Complete

Ellie was a very protective big sister but at times like this when duty was the important thing, she was a pain in the butt. "I just wanted a minute to sit and relax. I've been standing there for hours." I see her take a breath and relax. "I know this isn't what you wanted, or easy on you at all but you understand why it's being done like this, don't you?" "I understand and despite how offensive it is to be given away like a puppy for adoption, I've been good haven't I?" "Yes, but you could be a little friendlier to them."Complete
