“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.”

Belonging To The Darkness

 Joyce playfully narrowed her eyes at him. "That's not true. You cannot always know everything." 


Which might be a little bit of a lie. Adrian was one of the people who would love to know everything from everyone about everyone. It was not something she could meet him bail, but a little bit of teasing brought no one harm. 


Adrian smiled, indulging her in whatever she wanted. "The chewing gum trick originally belonged to my father who told about it to Charles when he was not as social as he is now." 


"So, it's an heirloom trick." She snapped her fingers. "the trick that has been passed down through generations and generations of murphy men." 


Open the topic of his father appeared, Joyce remembered what Daphne had told her about Charles and Adrian's father. This was something she wanted to talk about and maybe, since the topic had been brought to light, she could proceed with it.
