“I fucking hate you!” She breathed out the words, slowly and steadily, into his face. Her garlic smelling breath hitting him right in the face, making his face twitch and break posture. 

“You,” he turned his head away to breathe away from her garlic scented bread, only for her to open her mouth and blow into his direction. “Fucking brat. Did your parents teach you nothing?“

“Pedophile!” She accused to his face. “Did your parents teach you to marry little girls?” 

Adrian scoffed. “it’s your father who is trying to marry you off. Take it up with him.” 

She tried to open her mouth, by the looks of it just blow her garlicky breath on him again. Adrian grabbed her jaw, squeezing her cheeks together, he made her shut her mouth. 

“Listen to me carefully, Brat,” he whispered, bringing his face closer to hers, “You better hope I don’t say yes to this proposal of your father. Because if I do, I will be shipping your ass off to  a behaviour correction facility as the first thing.” 

Ignoring the sneer on her lips, Adrian patted her cheek forcefully, just for fun, before turning around and leaving her alone in the corner. 

“It’s on,” she vowed, “I’ll fucking set you on fire.”

Joyce O’Sullivan, 19 years old, a perfect age to get married and settled according to her family members, according to the church they went to, and according to the whole society that she did not give a damn about. 

Adrian Murphy was a name she had heard in her household many times but only by their mouths of. Those who dealt with business. 

When her father is finally able to score a meeting with the so called God of Europe, at least for the land to live in, she could not care any less only to find out that his father was making a proposal to him. Proposal of marriage.

A proposal of marriage of her and him. 

The best part about it? He got to decide. And she certainly won’t let him decide in her favour. 

And why? 
Because it would get them power and power was everything.

"No!" The word left her mouth on autopilot. Joyce then pulled her arm out of the grasp of the man before turning to Adrian. "You cannot do that to me!" 


"On the contrary. I think you underestimate me." 


It only took her a second to realize that he had said this so emotionlessly that she felt like she was talking to a mafia boss at the moment. 


He was not the Adrian whom she had been going out on lunches with. He was the address that she was supposed to be cautious of. 


"Adrian," Joyce pleaded as she stepped closer to him. "please, I promise you if ever happens again you will be the first person I come to—" 


"So, someone already knows about this. Someone apart from you," his eyes sharpened. "Someone who chose to hide the information as well."


"No, no, no." Joyce muttered and joined her hands in front of him. "They just gave me time to come clean to you myself. We did not want to get in between it and it was me who did not tell you."
