Chapter 119 - Vol. 9 - Chapter 1: Marjorie’s Engagement

Part 1 – Sun City: Bellerose House

After the events on the Northwestern Mountains, Uriel and Samantha head to the east coast, on the same time, Marjorie arrives at Sun City. She finishes grabbing her luggage and heads to the outside of the airport, a limousine was waiting for her.

"Hello, Charles, it's been a while, how have you been?" Marjorie says to her butler, Charles.

Charles Dubois (Age 60) is a strong French man; he does not have hair left and wears glasses. He has a big mustache, white skin and green eye. He has been the butler for the Bellerose family since he was young.

Charles smiles and replies; "Hello young mistress, you look beautiful as always, I've been doing well, and so has your father."

Marjorie hugs him causing him to smile. They head towards Marjorie's mansion; Marjorie looks at the window and asks:

"Hey Charles, did someone named Uriel ever called?"

"I'm afraid not, only a young man named Aleister has come to ask for you, every day." Charles replies to Marjorie, she lowers her head feeling disappointed; Charles looks at her and continues to speak:

"But you know, he did send a letter I was able to receive before your father could see it, it is in the bottom of your seat."

Marjorie looks below her seat and sees that it is a letter from Uriel, Marjorie smiles and screams:

"THANK YOU CHARLES, YOU ARE THE BEST!"

Charles smiles and replies: "Anything for my young mistress."

Marjorie begins to read the letter and blushes; she puts it in her chest hugging it tightly saying:

"Oh, my Uriel, you don't know how much I love you."

They arrive to the mansion, the Bellerose mansion is located near the Lucifugus mansion, it has a vast space with horses and other farm animals, and the house is very big and white colored. In the front of the house, it has many roses, tulips and sunflowers because of Marjorie's hobby.

Charles opens the door for Marjorie to come out; he helps her get out of the car and says:

"Welcome home, Mistress Marjorie, your father is expecting you."

Many maids and house workers form two lines and greet her saying:

"WELCOME HOME, MISTRESS MARJORIE."

Marjorie smiles and replies; "Thank you."

A young maid helps Marjorie carry her stuff, she looks at Marjorie looking at a letter and says with a lewd tone:

"Is that from the sexy teacher you want to date?"

Marjorie panics and replies; "U-U-Ugh, Sofia please don't say it out loud."

Sofia Dubois (Age 15) is the granddaughter of Charles and Marjorie's personal maid and friend. She has a short pink hair, and green eyes. She has white skin and a thin body with average breasts; she wears a black maid uniform with a short skirt and long black gloves.

Marjorie puts a cute face replying:

"Yes it's from Uriel."

"GYYYAAAHHH" Sofia screams and tries to take the letter of Marjorie saying:

"What does it say, come on, I bet many lewd things."

"N-N-No, nothing like that, it's a secret, and Uriel wrote it for me okay." Marjorie replies as she puts the letter away. Sofia frowns and exclaims:

"Aww, I wanted to read it too, you meanie, you could at least tell me, does he love you or not?"

Marjorie begins to remember the last conversation she had with Uriel.

Part 2 – One month ago- Graduation Dance

After the graduation dance, Uriel and Marjorie had time to talk in one of the school hallways. Uriel looks at Marjorie and propose her to go with him saying:

"Marjorie, I need to go on a trip in order to collect some information. I will be going with Johanna but I want you to come with me."

Marjorie lowers her head and replies:

"I'm sorry, but I can't go with you."

"But why not? You know how dangerous Aleister is." Uriel says with a worried expression. Marjorie begins to think of her mother and replies:

"I need to do something important in one week, I already promised my father. But I can go with you after I've return."

Uriel shakes his head and says; "The truth is, I'll probably be gone for two months, think it's best for you to stay here. I promise that I will return for you."

Marjorie puts a jealous expression and asks:

"Are you going alone with Johanna?"

Uriel begins to scratch his head; he avoids looking at Marjorie saying:

"Well, technically yes but…"

"That means you are going to be with her all the time that is unfair." Marjorie says with an angry tone. Uriel sees Marjorie frowning and laughs. He grabs Marjorie's hand and lifts it saying:

"You know that you are the only one I love, I promise that I will remain loyal to you no matter what."

Marjorie blushes and avoids looking at Uriel's eyes replying:

"P-P-Please don't say that out loud, it's kind of embarrassing."

Uriel's face also turns red having realized what he said and replies:

"I-I-I'm sorry."

Marjorie hugs Uriel saying; "Thank you, it's been so long since I felt that someone actually cares about me. You must know that I love you as well."

Uriel and Marjorie are about to kiss when suddenly…

"HEY BIG BROTHER I WANT TO GO HOME!" Valerie screams opening the door of the Gymnasium causing both Uriel and Marjorie to panic, the turn their heads with a red-face meaning that they are embarrassed. Valerie looks at them with lewd eyes and says:

"Am I interrupting something?"

"N-N-No, we were just talking." Uriel says nervously, Valerie laughs and replies:

"If you want to kiss her, do it now, don't be ashamed, I won't tell anyone."

Uriel turns around and sees Valerie with her phone out pointing at him causing Uriel to scream:

"YEAH RIGHT, YOU GOSSIP BEAST."

Valerie gets angry and punches Uriel screaming:

"WHO'S A GOSSIP BEAST?"

Marjorie begins to laugh; Valerie looks at her and says:

"Listen you, if you want to be with my brother, you must first go through an interview made by me and Daniel okay."

"Valerie please don't say that, you are not my mother." Uriel says as he lays in the ground, Valerie kicks him saying; "SHUT UP, I MUST KNOW WHO ARE YOU DATING."

Marjorie grabs Valerie's hand and says:

"I promise no harm, I actually want to make your brother happy."

Valerie looks away and says; "Okay fine, but I got my eye on you. Now let's go."

Part 3 – One Month ago- Hospital

After the incident with Aleister, Marjorie lies on the hospital bed. Sofia reads a book as Marjorie sleeps. Sofia begin to say:

"I don't know who did this to you but he will pay. No one hurts my mistress."

Sofia begins to take pictures of Marjorie, Marjorie wakes up and takes Sofia's phone deleting her picture causing to Sofia cry:

"Why did you delete them, they were just for education purposes."

"Yeah right, you pervert, you wanted to keep them."

(PUM, PUM)

Rocks are thrown onto Marjorie's window, Sofia opens the window and sees Uriel saying:

"Hey Marjorie, there is a cute boy waving at me, he looks pretty hot, he has blue hair and green eyes."

Marjorie stands up and goes to the window saying:

"It's Uriel."

Marjorie waves at Uriel who throws a piece of paper to Marjorie. Marjorie opens it and reads it:

"I'm heading off now, please expect a letter from me when you return, never forget how much I love you,"

Marjorie blushes and screams; "URIEL, I LOVE YOU TOO!"

This causes Sofia to panic, Uriel smiles at her and says goodbye, Marjorie goes back to her bed and begins to worry on what Aleister would do after their brake up.

Part 4 – Present day- Bellerose Mansion

Marjorie nods in agreement to Sofia responding; "YES HE DOES LOVE ME."

Sofia screams of excitement:

"GYYAA, THAT'S MY MISTRESS FOR YOU, GETTING THE HOT GUYS FOR HER."

Charles enters the room saying:

"Pardon the interruption, but Mistress, your father wants to talk to you."

Marjorie changes her expression to a worried face. Sofia also changes it into a serious one as well.

Marjorie heads to her father's office.-KNOCK, KNOCK- "Come in" Marjorie father's response. Marjorie enters the room and asks:

"You wanted to see me father?"

"Yes, there is something I want to talk to you about, please sit down."

Patri Bellerose (Age 40) is a mature man with silver hair like Marjorie; he has reddish eyes and a pale skin. He wears glasses, and a black suit. He is the heir to the Bellerose fortune in France and he is Marjorie's biological father.

Marjorie sits down looking afraid, Patri looks at his laptop and begins to say:

"I am glad that you have arrive safe, how is your mother?"

"Thank you father, my mother is doing well; she is with her children, who are doing fine." Marjorie replies with a low tone.

Patri finishes writing and looks at Marjorie:

"Listen daughter, I have spoken to Darius and we came to the decision that you will be marrying his son, Aleister."

Marjorie looks pale after hearing the news; she begins to tremble and asks:

"Why him, why Aleister, don't you remember what he did to me?"

"Of course, but that accident, plus you attack first." Patri replies with serious expression, Marjorie gets furious and exclaims:

"That's not true, he attacked me because I broke up with him, and I don't want to marry him."

"I see that you don't understand; I need you to marry him so that the Bellerose Family can form an Alliance with the Lucifugus family. The Lucifugus family will be the head of the new empire forming in east Europe, if you become Aleister's wife you will be also member of the family thus the heir to the empire."

Marjorie is shocked on what she was hearing; she begins to cry asking:

"Am I just a tool for you to use? Don't I get an opinion on this?"

"No, you are my daughter, but I need you to this for the sake of the Bellerose and that is final." Patri replies looking at Marjorie with a serious expression. Marjorie lowers her head and says:

"Very well, I will do it."

"Excellent, tonight we are going to the Lucifugus Mansion to make the engagement official, go put an elegant dress please; I will meet you at 8." Patri says to Marjorie returning to his writing. Marjorie stand up and leaves the room crying.

Sofia and Charles heard everything, Sofia wants to charge towards Patri but Charles who stops her says:

"Please don't do it, you will only make things worse for Marjorie"

"Yes grandfather, I understand." Sofia says lowering her head. In her room, Marjorie looks at the letter and begins to cry:

"I'm sorry Uriel; I will have to break our promise."

Part 5 – Lucifugus Mansion

Patri and Marjorie arrived at the Lucifugus Mansion, they are welcomed by Anastasia who greets them and escorts them to the dining. Anastasia opens the door, Darius and Olivia greet them.

"WELCOME, PATRI AND MARJORIE TO OUR HUMBLE HOME." Darius says as he shakes hand to both of them. Olivia hugs Marjorie and says:

"Welcome my future daughter, you smell so delicious, I mean nice."

Olivia chuckles but Marjorie is left frozen of fear. Darius looks at both of them and says:

"Please take a seat, our son will be here any moment."

Marjorie who is wearing a beautiful blue dress and Patri who wears a suit sit down on the table. At that moment, Aleister enters the room and says:

"Sorry I´m late father, I needed to take care of some things."

"Not to worry my son, our guests have arrived." Darius says as he sits down as well. Aleister looks at Patri and greets him:

"It is a pleasure to see you again sir."

"The pleasure is all mines, young Lucifugus." Patri replies with a smile. Aleister goes on to Marjorie, Marjorie stands up, Aleister hugs her saying:

"I really thought that you would not come, but I judge you wrong dear."

Marjorie makes a fake smile replying:

"Well dear, after you sent me to the hospital, I really had my doubts."

"I am deeply sorry, please forgive me, it´s just that I was jealous, but words can't express how sorry I am." Aleister says to Marjorie as he kneels to her. Patri claps saying:

"Wonderful, now that is how a man should behave."

Marjorie avoids looking at him in the eyes and sits down. Aleister goes to his place as well; the chefs bring out the dinner and beverages. Olivia looks at both of them and says:

"Well then, please enjoy our five star cuisine made by the best chef in Rumania."

"Thank you very much." Both Marjorie and her father say at the same time. After they had their dinner, Darius stands up and rings his glass with a spoon saying:

"We are gathering here to celebrate the engagement of Marjorie and Aleister uniting the Lucifugus and Bellerose families."

The staff and the guest begin to clap. Marjorie lowers her head, Patri stands up saying:

"On behalf of my daughter, we are very grateful for these negotiations, and I hope both of them can be really happy together now let us raise our glass."

Everyone in the table raises their glasses and begins to drink. Darius looks at Aleister who makes signs, he stands up and says:

"Very well, let's go to my office to discuss the future of your company in Europe, we should leave the future spouses to have a chat as well."
