" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious. "I need a wife, you need a home, marry me and you'll have all you want". I nod.

A Snowy Marriage (A Christmas agreement)

We spend the night comfortably, we spending considerably and expensively comfortable, with Arden quickly recovering after she takes some oats and milk.

I had to smile at myself, i had to smile at myself because sometimes I'm simply the best am I not?.

I mean just a simple remedy, just a simple remedy like some oats and milk and she was already looking energized, she was already looking like she was ready to face the world again and I had to laugh at this.

We are currently going back to the Winter Mansion, we are currently going back to the Winter mansion and my stomach is dropping in trepidation each and every mile of road that we cover.

I mean the distance to this place is considerably long but yet it is almost like I feel Adrian is speeding too fast.

Well he's not speeding, i feel that's just what my mind is tricking me to believe, my mind is tricking me to believe that Adrian is in a haste get back to the place of his birth, my mind is tricking me to believe that Alice is in a hurry to get back to the place she has always known as home even though I doubt that is possible, my mind is also trickng me to see that everyone around me simply wants to return.

They want to return to where they came from but yet I'm the only one who isn't in a hurry to return back to the hell hole that is that place.

I'm the only one who isn't in a hurry to return back to the palace of eternal torture that foolish huge building is.

I'm guessing that i may he exaggerating, I maybe over exaggerating at this point but yet that is what I feel like.

I feel like I'm going back into a cage and Adrian can see as much, he can see as much from the way that my face is practically squeezed up into a dissatisfied look and I am trying to smoothen it out.

I'm trying to smooth it out, even occasionally playing with my hair clips as he watches me in the car.

I don't think this is a limo, I don't think this is a limo but it's the closest thing to it that I have seen.

There's a lot of space in the car, even as the car is moving Ercles is doing his best to move around, touching random things, bringing down random pieces of paper and reading each and everything that he can get his hands on.

It seems the tiredness of the former days has vanished, the tiredness of the earlier days have vanished and now he is quite active.

He is quite active to say in the least and I have two groan at this.

Exactly how can some kids simply play from the moment they wake up down till now.

I mean this has practically been four hours but yet he has not shut down once.

Even in the room, he still woke up before me.
