Not Just A Marriage Of Convinence

EP 1- PREVIEW

- DON'T REPORT -

Hermes Edward (FL'S STEP BROTHER)

- " A joker isn't supposed to act on its own." -

Tristian Edward (FL'S STEP FATHER)

-" I raised you to be useful not to be thoughtful." -

Lucife King(ML'S EX WIFE/FL STEP SISTER)

-" A machine, that's what you are. Even your name means darkness." -

- Picked up from the darkest alley at the age of 10 by the richest arm dealer of the country, I was brought up to be a useful tool which would do all dirty works on behalf of the family, I learned to put my head down and ignore anything that can cost my life.-

-From killing to hacking to business, I did everything great and bad. Got credits for my usefulness and obedience and lived without wanting anything other than living getting abused.-

- And then one day, I was called to marry the husband of my step-sister, the apple of the family who died 3 years ago for the sake of the twins she left behind. Her husband, THE GODFATHER of Underworld, the crownless king, ruthless killer who only turned next to my step-sister, their twins and his friends.-

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

What do you expect from this marriage? *Coldly*

Ezekiel King/Godfather(ML)

Nothing. *Emotionless*

- Did I expect something.... Maybe I did.... After all, somewhere under the mask of a cold, emotionless Joker, I was still a woman with tender heart who fell for her business husband. Furthermore, he loved his ex wife way too much. He craved for her, way too much. He lived for her and turned human for her. She was everything he wanted from his dream woman while I was everything which would push him to his edge.-

Ezekiel King/Godfather(ML)

Did you kill her? *Trembling in anger*

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

I did *Looking into his eyes*

Ezekiel King/Godfather(ML)

Why? *Whisper*

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

*Silent*

Ezekiel King/Godfather(ML)

You are worse than a monster like they say *Tear rolling down*

Ezekiel King/Godfather(ML)

You turning me into a total madman, Adrienne King *Looking at her with burning gaze*

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

Just do what you are supposed to do. *Rise his hand which was holding a gun and puts it on her heart*

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

Kill me, Ezekiel.

- Its not a marriage of convinence rather something more. -

- He wantss to kill me, and I want to be killed by him. He want to make me suffer and I want him to love me with the same passion he hates me.-

- In a relationship full of hatred, is there even a hope? -

- I am Adrienne Edward, Adopted daughter of Edward family the biggest armed business owners. 12 years ago, Tristian Edward took me under his wings after he found me fighting against the back alley goons as a 10 years old kid and raised me as his "MOST USEFUL JOKER".-

-From killing to conducting business deals, I have proved my worth to the family again and again to the point Tristian Edward trusts me more than his own kids which caused his own children to be insecure of me.-

- "LIVE LIKE A JOKER. A EMOTIONLESS MACHINE." Thats what I have been doing ever since entering the house. A machine which kills without even blinking an eye, a blade which can cut through anything, a joker who is cherished by Tristian Edward, Thats what people know about me.-

- And maybe thats what made him trust me with the most important task of all.-

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

It's just a marriage of convinence *Blank eyes*

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

-I packed some of my clothes, laptop and iPad. And just in an hour, a car from the Kings was there. In just an hour, everything I build was taken from me. As if they belonged to me at the first place? In this world, there is nothing that belongs to me. In this vast world, there is nowhere I can return to. No family, no friends, no home.-

- On my way to Kings mansion, I started imagining my entry there. Will they welcome the new mistress of the house luxuriously, or will I be left with just a maid who will help me with everything? What will be Ezekiel King's first words? He loved and maybe still loves Lucife more than anything in the world. He won't hit me, I'm sure of it because Godfather is well known for his great respect toward woman. Maybe he will just ignore me blindly. What about the twins?-

-They might accept me. After all, they are just kids who lost their mother 2 years ago and was brought up by their father and grandmother. I should treat them kindly after all they are the reason why I was told to marry Godfather.-

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

Life won't be harder in King mansion than Edward Mansion *Rests her head against the window*

- 3 HOURS LATER -

- KING MANSION -

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

*Eyes widen looking at the vast mansion in front of her*

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

( If I get lost here, it will take me another 2 days to get back from where I started!)

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

(Being rich is fun~)

Maid: Please follow me.

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

*Starts following her*

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

*Sees guards putting her bag down on the ground but none taking it inside*

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

*Looks around and finds none else other than that maid*

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

( I am getting treated worse than a guest.)

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

( I am not a real mistress of the mansion after all.)

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

*Takes her bag and starts following the maid*

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

( Its not that bad.)

Adrienne Linbird King/Joker(FL)

(After all, none threw pig blood on me.)
