Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep Chapter 144
Advertisement
A long row of uniformed people stood on both sides of the runway as they waited for the doors of the airplane to open. Today they were waiting to welcome a special guest. The person was said to be a the daughter of their country's most respected finance wizard Mr Xu. The gossip said that Miss Xu was returning to their land after a long time. And the reason for this return was her marriage. Many employees wondered what the heiress would look like. It was said that Miss Xu was not just some airhead who only knew how to spend money. She was also a leading name in the fashion industry of Country E.
They expected to see a cultured woman who looked and had the mannerisms of a princess as well as the snootiness of one.. And hence they were shocked when they saw the figure that alighted the airplane. The woman or rather the girl looked like a student rather than a high society fashion designer. Though she was dressed fashionable in what one would describe as airport fashion and looked undoubtedly beautiful,it was not some one who liked snooty as the people had expected. And sh even smiled at everyone graciously when they bowed in welcome,unlike some who would ignore them like furniture.
Her voice was sweet like a nightingale's as she thanked them before walking towards the stretch limousine that was waiting for her. It wasn't until the car had departed that the employees came out of their trance and started to talk among themselves.
Dressed in a flowy orange silk skirt and a cashmere sweater,she looked relaxed and even unassuming. But the comfortable clothing highlighted Miss Xu's excellent looks and left an unforgettable expression in the people's hearts.
Inside the Car:

Nora hugged her father and excitedly asked him,"Father!Is it true?Is he really alive?"
Xu Man looked at his daughter whose eyes had not sparkled in so long and teased her,"Little Nora!You meet me after so long and all you can do is ask after him? What about your old father? You don't love me at all?"
Nora Xu pouted at her father and replied,"Daddy! I talk to you everyday!But Him...daddy for so long I have believed him to be dead that when Brother Shiro called to tell me about his return, I almost believed that he was playing a prank on me!It is why I have returned in such a hurry!Daddy please tell me it is the truth.."
Xu Man looked at his daughter and sighed. He actually wished that it was not true. Because atleast then his daughter would have considered seeing another man. But now,she would not even consider it..And from all the things he had heard, the man that returned to the Yoo family was already with some other girl..
But he could not lie to his daughter,"It is the truth that there are rumors that the other heir of the Yoo's may have returned. But the elder in the family has not yet announced anything formally. But Nora,you have to know..the person,may be married.."
Nora, however paid no attention to her father's words and excitedly started planning to meet her long lost fiance. Her small eyes formed little moons and her cheeks showed off her dimples as she looked pleased like a little puppy. She took out her phone and messaged brother Shiro of her arrival and appealed for him to arrange a meeting with Yoo Seok soon. She almost expected that brother Shiro would call her immediately but when she received no reply,she pouted a bit and placed her phone aside,talking to her father about the way the city had changed when she was away. She could sense her father's uneasiness.But brother Shiro had mentioned that Yoo Seok was married and she was prepared to meet his wife also. What she was going to do after that was left to be seen. If brother Shiro was right and she was really unworthy then she would try to talk to the lady and if he was wrong,then she would wish them well. But she was going to try and become friends with Yoo Seok so that even if she was not with him,she would be close to him. By his side..

In the Hospital:
Yoo Shiro typed out a message to reply to the girl and then deleted it. He then typed out another reply before before deleting that too. He had no idea about how to tell Nora about his brother's marriage. She'd been a kid when their parents had arranged their marriage but because they told her that Yu Seok would be her husband,she had even dreamed of marrying him. And when Yu Seok had been thought lost and after a while and her parents had tried to change the grooms,she had reused vehemently claiming that she would be true to his memory. Yoo Shiro had always admired her loyalty and even felt guilty for supporting her in her madness for his brother. It was also one of the reasons he had not taken a liking to Xie Eun. But tonight had proved to him that he could not be sure of which girl loved his brother more. On the one side who had waited for a lifetime. And on the other who had almost waited with her life.
He looked at the message once again.And then finally typed out,"Nora,I am so glad you are back. Let us catch up soon." he purposely chose to ignore the topic about his brother. But even then he did not send out the message and simply sat in the hospital corridor wondering over the tangled mess he had just created. Finally,deciding to just jump in,he pressed the send button at the same time deciding to give Xie Eun also a warning about this,just to be fair..

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
