Be Thankful For What You Have

'I'm tired of everything ha, no one cares anyway'. She said to herself as she inched towards the edge of the roof. 'If I survive this, I'm coming for everyone of you'. A grin spread across her pale but beautiful lips as she leaped off the rooftop edge. Everything went cold.

Letentia were once the daughter of a noble family, but everything changed when the rival family spread lies about her family. The king believed them and stripped her family of its title, leaving Letentia to live as a commoner and some family members were executed. Fast forward a few years, and Letentia’s settled into life in the countryside in a orphange house, getting used to being just another villager. One day, Letentia's childhood friend shows up at the small orphanage where Letentia lives. He’s the third son of the king and has been searching for Letentia all this time. He escaped from the royal guards who were after him, and now he wants to run away with Letentia.

I see dead people. But hey, it’s the zombie apocalypse, everyone is seeing dead people, including a blind girl. It’s not like I am that special. For a while, I thought I was going to be Cinderella, complete with the cruel stepfamily and the little mice for helpers. But instead of mice, I got demons from hell with a taste for chaos. Then again, there is nothing wrong with a little chaos in the middle of the apocalypse. It’s what makes life worth living. Unfortunately for others, they don’t quite see it that way. You see, I have a gift. One that isn’t exactly mine, but I can use it however I see fit. My gift is granting wishes. I'm a genie without a bottle, but it would be nice if people appreciated me more. All the humans ask for is the same thing… more food here, shelter there, kill these people, torture those. And I do it all, for a small price. I don’t ask for money or food, I can get that on my own. No, I want favors, souls, something that means everything for the other person. And they give it to me. Their momentary desire worth their long term happiness. But by the time they discover that, I’m long gone, already moved on to my next… client. I know I look young, starvation and abuse will do that to a girl. Humans tell me that I shouldn’t be wandering out there alone. Some try to help me… most don’t. But whoever said I was by myself? Just because others couldn’t see them didn’t mean my demons ever left. I still hear their voices in my head, whispering words of encouragement and love. For them, I’d do anything. Kill anyone. Destroy anything. After all, life is just a game, right? Those still alive at the end of the day were the lucky ones. Those who died were not. Everything is just a game of chance, all a human has to do is roll the dice. My only word of advice is to be careful what you wish for… you just might get it. My name is Hattie, welcome to my world. Would you like a cup of tea?

Excerpt "You can drop this stupid act now, Mr. Yates. I am not going to fall for it." A frown marred his features. "What are you talking about?" "Oh, stop with your pretentious act, it makes me sick. You want nothing to do with a brainless socialite such as myself, so I am not even going to delude myself that this sham would work." He remained silent for a few moments, then smiled. "This works for me then. It means you are smart enough to not expect anything from me then. From what I am to understand, this marriage would be of great benefit to us both in that case." Iris seethed internally. What an insufferable man. "You flatter yourself too much, sir. My time is too precious for it to be wasted stroking your ego. If you came here just for that ridiculous charade of yours, I suggest you leave now." His gaze hardened. "I hope you don't forget what you just said to me. It has been duly noted, miss Clayton. I really do hope your words do not come back to bite you." "I hope you say the same for yourself as well, Mr. Yates." * * * * Iris Clayton agrees to marry a man she was engaged to, but had never met formally. She is reluctant, but agrees to do so to save the legacy of her mother. She however finds herself disliking him immediately, to her dismay. She also finds herself entangled in the web of secrets in the family, with no hope of escape.

Hernia is his to care for and he doesn’t care what the world thinks of that.

"It's cold outside. Would you like to come in and stay for a while?"
