View MoreLucy was glad for the company of her daughter.She was certain that she could have died of silence if Arizona had not been with her in that haunted house. The sound of eerie music playing inside her head that night sounded like it was echoing from several corners of the building, but she knew that it was just her head messing with her. “Just a few hours in this place, and it already feels like my entire world is about to crash,” Lucy muttered, and then she turned to look at her daughter who was already asleep.Initially, she was worried that Arizona was going to demand something to eat, but from the look of things, they both lost their appetites as a result of the cold demeanor of Gregory. “How am I going to survive this? Save me, Lord.” Lucy prayed silently, and then she took a deep breath.Mr. Jones had assured her that Gregory was going to come around, but it didn’t look like that was ever going to happen.Twice, they had started on a very wrong foot, and she was convinced that

He didn’t look like anything that her mother had told her he was like.Lucy had spent so much time, trying to convince her daughter that Gregory was a good man. The poor girl looked like she was beginning to warm up to the idea of living in a new environment b
Gregory had several thoughts running through his mind, but none was more annoying than the thought of being forced to get married against his will.Worst still, it was to a lady that he had never met before, or so he thought.Mr. Jones walked in slowly and stood before him. “She is here, Master Berger.” He waited to hear a response from Gregory, but nothing came out of his mouth.He sighed. “I will just send her in.” He said calmly, and after waiting for a few seconds, he bowed and left. Gregory groaned in both anger and pain, struggling with the intense echo that reverberated inside his head as he looked through the casement window, staring at nothing in particular. “I am sure they prepared the devil for me to marry.” He muttered, grinding his teeth as he searched for solace. “Only the devil would agree to this kind of stupid agreement.” His vex increased, and it wasn’t long before he heard the sound of footsteps approaching from behind him.From all indication, it wasn’t just Mr.
George's eyes brightened, a flicker of rage, mixed with the rough aura of confusion, rushed through his vines as he stared into the eyes of the stranger.Even with his lowly state, most people would rather avoid him rather than directly confront him.Besides, it was a fact that he was a Berger, the most dreaded family in the city.And as though that wasn't enough, her hands caught a firm grip of his jaw,.causing his lips to pop up like that of a little child.George could feel the blood rush through his vines as his eyes met with the flames in the eyes of the stranger."Don't you ever dare treat any child in such a manner against " She roared, swinging his face off from her path.Lucy clutched the hands of Arizona as they stomped off from the hall while George watched from behind, still frozen in state.After a few moments, he snapped off from his daze with his shoulders slumbering to the ground.
