Acquiescently

La vie parfaite de Joanna Smith a soudainement pris un tournant drastique lorsque le Cruel Patron de la Mafia a exigé qu'elle devienne sa nouvelle mariée. « Souhaitez-vous savoir pourquoi j'ai épousé une femme fragile comme vous ? » lui avait-il demandé, sa voix empreinte de froideur. Joanna acquiesce de la tête, voulant connaître la raison derrière son mariage avec un homme aussi dangereux. « Vous payez une dette, chérie ! Une dette que votre père a refusé de régler avant sa mort ! » Il rit métaphoriquement, comme s'il avait dit quelque chose de drôle. « Vous êtes à moi maintenant, Joanna. Je vais faire toutes sortes de choses folles avec votre corps, vous faire me désirer, en vouloir plus et me supplier de vous baiser sans merci ! » Il lui sourit méchamment.

[ATTENTION : CONTENU MATURE] - [HISTOIRE PRINCIPALE TERMINÉE] Izabelle avait sous-estimé le feu avec lequel elle pensait jouer ce soir. Mais comment aurait-elle pu prévoir que l'homme qu'elle avait rencontré ne joue pas avec un petit feu, mais avec un véritable enfer ? ___ Extrait : "Te marier avec moi pourrait tout aussi bien être comme si tu creusais ta propre tombe. Car à partir du moment où tu commenceras à vouloir plus de moi, je te divorcerai. Et si tu romps ta promesse et tentes de me combattre... Je te détruirai et te briserai entièrement. Sans pitié. Tu regretteras d'avoir jamais rencontré ce diable ce soir." Sa menace fut donnée du même ton doux mais glacial. Mais Elle ne tressaillit même pas. Son regard ne faiblit pas non plus. Cet homme était impitoyable, et elle le savait clairement. Ses yeux à ce moment-là promettaient des cauchemars et des ténèbres sans aucune promesse de répit. Mais peu importe ce qu'il dit maintenant, cela ne changerait toujours pas sa décision. Elle n'avait vraiment pas d'autre choix. "Je comprends maintenant..." dit-elle doucement, se raidissant. "Puisque tu n'as pas confiance que je tiendrai parole, que dirais-tu de ça ? Tu prépares les documents de divorce à l'avance maintenant et je les signerai. Ainsi, une fois que tu décideras de me divorcer à l'avenir, les papiers auront déjà été signés et il n'y aura aucun moyen pour moi de te causer des problèmes à ce sujet. Il te suffira de les envoyer aux avocats et de les faire notariser." Un lourd silence régna avant que son rire incrédule et tranquille ne rompe le silence. "Je suis sans mots, Princesse Izabelle." Il avait l'air méchamment amusé. Mais ensuite il commença à acquiescer en signe d'approbation. "Très bien, princesse. Je t'épouserai." ___ Compte Instagram : kazzenlx.x Page Facebook : author_kazzenlx Serveur Discord : https://discord.gg/UGTA3A4 La couverture m'appartient alors ne l'utilisez pas.

Rhys Porcher attempts to uncover the mystery behind the girl he only thought was a figment of his imagination and the strange events that follow the duo.

In the nursery, a gentle figure sat, cradling a baby in her arms. The soothing scent of lavender drifting through the air as the last remnants of daylight faded away. Shadows danced on the walls, created by the flickering of a single candle that stood on a nearby table, casting a soft, golden light over the room. The figure, a mother, began to hum a familiar melody. Her voice low and tender, resonating with love and warmth. The baby's eyes, round and curious, fixated on her face, as if entranced by the soothing sound. Gradually, the hum had turned into soft words as she had begun to sing a lullaby passed down through generations. "♫ ~Fate and Time, with grip firm and tight, Charted our path with designs, not in sight. Their threads of destiny, a tapestry to unfurl, A journey of life, in melancholy, to whirl." Her voice like a balm, wrapping around the child like a warm embrace, seeping into every corner of the room. As the lullaby had unfolded, the baby's eyelids become heavier, slowly succumbing to the pull of slumber. "♫ ~ Oh, Fate and Time, why so callous, Your agenda not aligned with the heart's zealous. Your tides of life, a fateful wave, Against our dreams, they often deprave." The mother gently swayed as she sang, rocking the baby in a tender rhythm that mimicked the comforting beat of her own heart. As the last notes of the lullaby lingered in the air, the baby's eyes finally closed, succumbing to a peaceful sleep. "♫ ~ But in the face of such adversity, We must acquiesce, a life of diversity. Challenges to face, with valor and trust, To rise from the abyss, a resurgence from dust." "♫ ~ Oh, Fate and Time, why so capricious, Your machinations, often deleterious. Yet we persist, with fortitude and gleam, To reach our destiny, and fulfill our dream." The mother gazed at her child for a moment longer, planting a soft kiss on the baby's forehead before tucking the tiny body under a warm, cozy blanket. *** Three chapters a week.

Asymmetric warfare is a conflict between belligerents of drastically different levels of military capability or size. Biological warfare, or germ warfare, is the use of weaponized biological toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Chemical warfare involves the use of weaponized chemicals in combat. Poison gas as a chemical weapon was principally used during World War I, and resulted in over a million estimated casualties, including more than 100,000 civilians.[25] Cold warfare is an intense international rivalry without direct military conflict, but with a sustained threat of it, including high levels of military preparations, expenditures, and development, and may involve active conflicts by indirect means, such as economic warfare, political warfare, covert operations, espionage, cyberwarfare, or proxy wars. Conventional warfare is declared war between states in which nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons are not used or see limited deployment. Cyberwarfare involves the actions by a nation-state or international organization to attack and attempt to damage another nation's information systems. Insurgency is a rebellion against authority, when those taking part in the rebellion are not recognized as belligerents (lawful combatants). An insurgency can be fought via counterinsurgency, and may also be opposed by measures to protect the population, and by political and economic actions of various kinds aimed at undermining the insurgents' claims against the incumbent regime. Information warfare is the application of destructive force on a large scale against information assets and systems, against the computers and networks that support the four critical infrastructures (the power grid, communications, financial, and transportation).[26] Nuclear warfare is warfare in which nuclear weapons are the primary, or a major, method of achieving capitulation. Total war is warfare by any means possible, disregarding the laws of war, placing no limits on legitimate military targets, using weapons and tactics resulting in significant civilian casualties, or demanding a war effort requiring significant sacrifices by the friendly civilian population. Unconventional warfare, the opposite of conventional warfare, is an attempt to achieve military victory through acquiescence, capitulation, or clandestine support for one side of an existing conflict.

The day I won the lottery, I quit my job immediately. Ethan called to say that Sophia was getting married. I prepared a big red envelope for her. At the dinner table, I joked with them, saying that I was unemployed and had to go home to live off my parents. Unexpectedly, the whole family's faces changed. Sophia jumped out sarcastically, "It's not appropriate for you to come back and live off my parents' retirement money, right." Jayden pretended to be magnanimous, "If you want to come back, you have to pay rent. Even close brothers have to make clear accounts, sister-in-law doesn't want to be a parasite, right." Ethan and Megan also acquiesced. They probably forgot that this house is in my name. Even Sophia's dowry was paid out of my pocket. So, who is the real parasite?

“Fine”! I acquiescently cave in. “He better keep his eyes off you, or I will poke his eyeballs out of its socket!”. She shook her head in disbelief, it seems that it’s becoming her habit soon. I know I am possessive, whatever is mine is mine alone I am just protecting what is mine. Deceitful lies, betrayal, revenge, all in the name of love. Will they both find their happy-ever-after?

I'm really just putting this up here for some feedback. I board this metal contraption dubbed an aeroplane, hurtling through the sky, for education’s farce—how foolish. Schools, like puppets, exploit minds, shaping them into acquiescent tools. Power lies not in knowledge, but in breaking free from the chains of rulers. But that is not my concern. Dissonance Affinity, an unjust curse by the Outer Gods, stains every existence, transcending understanding; earth appears to be its last trace. I will terminate it. I seem to be the only one that is willing to, after all.

Her betrothal to the enigmatic Billinoer Lucien Blackwood came with a steep price: absolute deference and a cautious distance.

Ivory's heart raced as Lucien's lips brushed against hers, the touch sparking a shiver that coursed through her very being. Little did she know, this was only the beginning of a journey into the heart of darkness itself.

A rebellion against the suffocating gaze of omnipotence. Who has the audacity? Living in a realm where things are as they were, and time is but a gauge of how many universes have existed and fallen. Who would remain sane? Dipledius, the Overlord of the 'West', and the 'left hand of God', impassively erected himself in his pedestal as he grew weary of the machinations of the being that he had served since time immemorial. A God whose face he had not yet seen; a God, that even he, the ruler of half the firmament, cannot fathom. This is an attempt, of Dipledius, second only to his superior, to play chess with an inevitability. An attempt to overpower omnipotence, and manipulate an absolute being that has melded and became one with the firmament itself. "Laus Deo Semper... Long live the king" he said, as he made his first treasonous move. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Art is not mine. If you want to take it down, please notify me and I will acquiesce.
