Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress Chapter 38
Advertisement
The beautiful rings of bells and the chattering of a few people who can't wait for the wedding to start. Zach was already waiting in the alter. Besides the priest is the judge. Their grandfather wanted a priest and a judge for the blessing to make it more legal. Zach wasn't even looking at anyone. He can't wait for his bride.
The bridesmaid are lining up and he doesn't care about anything else and how beautiful they make the church. What he cares about is her. The music was beautiful and someone was singing a love song. He stopped and listen for a while on the love song. The song is sung by one of the Mondragon relative a celebrity singer. He sang 'Perfect' of Ed Sheeran perfectly. He asked for that song and he become emotional as everyone stood from the first of the song and the door opens.
His eyes twinkled as Andromeda walk slowly in the aisle. Her gown is purely white with diamond beads. It was long from behind and the veil has petals of red roses like it was a blood and a perfect art on the veil. Instead of lilac. She's holding a thorny rose. Wrapped around on the black ribbon.
He understands why she would hold roses with full of thorns. It's like he wrapped her heart with thorns from the roses. She was looking straight at him as her father is at her right, holding her hand.
Slowly they reach the altar as the song ended. Aaron hesitated for a while on giving his daughter to him. But she squeezed his hand and Aaron kisses her forehead, covered with a veil.
"I love you. I will be here for you."
"Thank you, Dad."
Aaron face Zachary and gave her hand to her. He held their hands for a while.

"Do not hurt her again," Aaron told him. "It's not a request. It's a threat." He kissed her forehead one more time and went back to his seat.
They face the altar and listen to the priest's words and whatever the traditions are and now, for their vows. She said responded with a casual "I do." and he said the same with sincerity.
And for the exchange of vows. Zach pulled out an old paper. There is a stain of ink but he opened it and was about to read it to her. But she holds it and stop him from reading it.
"I don't want to hear it." She said but only her, the priest, the judge and him could only hear. They are stupefied for a while. She looked at the priest. "The ring." The priest asked for the ring bearer and Zach put her ring on her and she did the same.
Zach sadly hold her hand.
"Andy, I--"
"End this," Andy told the priest and the priest pronounced them as husband and wife and Zach slowly lift the veil. Her simple beautiful alway starstruck him. But she looks fierce than sadness. She's strong. He always knew that.
He smiled and reach her chin.
"I am always yours, Andromeda." He kissed her and Andy search for the Allona. Her face is sour and she smirked and kiss Zach back passionately holding his nape.
Zach hold her waist and kissed her more. Their kiss ended for fifteen seconds and they all face the crowd. They stood and clapped their hands. Andromeda glanced at Allona and a smirked runs on her lips when she noticed the sourness on her face as she clapped her hands.
It's past six when the wedding ended and they all went to the reception area in a closed hall. Music, drinks, foods and everything are there. Her stylist are there ready to assist her anytime. Zach hold her waist possessively. Finally, they are married.

They sign a few papers and it was official. Zachary kiss her more and more and she just let him. She wanted to see everyone that she's enjoying it so those who are obsessed with now-her-husband would get more even insecure of her. She won't let anyone scheme on her anymore. She won't be dumb again.
"For the dance of the couple."
They haven't prepared any dance but Zach holds her hand and leaned his forehead to hears.
"Remember that dance steps that we danced back then?"
"Yes."
"Are you ready to show them how talented you are?"
"I am always talented. I don't need to brag about it." She smiled lopsidedly. He giggled and kissed her nose.
Zach removed his coat and leave his vest.
Andy went to the other side and she was covered with a white curtain and is surrounded by the stylist and remove a few parts of her gown and she's wearing a thin see-through A-line dress and they removed her sheer-thighs. They removed the veil and few pins of her hair. She then walk gracefully out and the spotlight turns to her and him.
Zach gapes on her beauty. Everyone around are gaping at the bride.
His very own Goddess. He won't let her go again.
The song started as she walks gracefully and slowly at the very start and their singer is singing 'Thinking out loud' of Ed Sheeran.
They use almost the same steps from the music video but improvise few steps and Zach was so into her. She could be a ballerina. She could be in the musical. Not just a model but an artist. It runs in Mondragon blood to be this talented.
The way she swayed her body is unison to the music. The song ended and he held her tightly. Everyone clapped their hands for the performance.
The lights turned off and there's a big click that shut down everything. Few people scream.
Zach hold her tightly to protect her and there are sounds of dropping and in few seconds the lights turned on and beside them is a gift with a bloody letter on it.
The security are already around them and they cover Adromeda and Zachary away from the box. The efficient security that Andromeda requested brought a bomb detector and they all move away.

But when his family’s life is on the line? That’s something else.

Then something hits him. Lays him out cold, and leaves him waking up to a fantasyland with nothing but his armor and a half-written note to guide him. It's a strange place where even stranger predators eye him for their next meal. Where his life’s on a timer, and where the darkest horrors haunt his dreams, painting visions of death. There's no right day to mess with Magnus Cromwell. But the universe sure managed to pick the absolute worst one. --- - MC is stone-cold, strong(OP), and gets even stronger, but he'll still face his fair share of challenges, both internal and external. - LitRPG-lite.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
