Arrange Marriage To A Billionaire

The Rise Of The Ugly Luna

Syra Tucker

Lyric had spent her life being hated. Bullied for her scarred face and hated by everyone-including her own mate-she was always told she was ugly. Her mate only kept her around to gain territory, and the moment he got what he wanted, he rejected her, leaving her broken and alone. Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved. It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior. For him, she was the only woman that had ever made him cum in bed-a problem he had been battling for years. Lyric thought her life would finally be different, but like everyone else in her life, he lied. And when she found out who he really was, she realized he wasn't just dangerous-he was the kind of man you don't escape from. Lyric wanted to run. She wanted freedom. But she desired to navigate her way and take back her respect, to rise above the ashes. Eventually, she was forced into a dark world she didn't wish to get involved with.

MARUH'S POV

Blaaaaag!

A loud crash of something woke me up in the living room from the kitchen, where I was writing.

Confused, I saw mama enter the house with a sigh of relief.

"Maruh ?! Son ?!" mama called me while looking around the living room.

"Maruh ?!"

"Ma?" I call to him as I walk towards the living room. "Are you all right?" my innocent question.

"Nak, ahm, you want us to play?" confused towards just what I answered. "Mama and Maruh .. ahm .. ah will play hide and seek. Do you like that huh?" he added while chasing the breath digging into my face.

'' yes ma. But, 'don't you want me to play? ..' 'I asked mama in surprise. "..and then, where are you from? Why are you sweating?" I asked a series of questions.

"Ah, what .. mama walked a long way." he replied with a smile. "Mama is willing for you to play, as long as you listen to me carefully, do you understand mama?" I did nothing but nod because that's what kids like, isn't it? To be able to play.

"You'll hide well, where mama or anyone else can't see you. Mama will look for you, okay? '' He said staring.

"All right!" I said happily.

"Don't come out and don't make any noise until I find you, okay?" He told me as tears flowed.

'' Mom, why are you crying? Is there ... is anything wrong with you? '' I asked in tears.

"No children, mama is just happy because you are what papa God gave me." He forced a smile.

'' Me too, I love you so much! You are the best mama in the whole world for me! '' I said with a smile. He hugged me tightly.

"All right, son, let's play, mama is going to count, huh?" I nodded again to agree.

Why do I feel, that's the last time I can hug him so tightly?

Mama started counting. At the same time it was my action to find a hiding place.

I looked for a place where I could hide. I hid in a cabinet in the living room. I struggled to fit myself into the small space.

From inside the cabinet, I saw mama leave her seat and go upstairs to the bedroom.

I've been hiding for a few minutes. Until it was half an hour and I was having a hard time in my seat. Even so, I could not bear the pain that enveloped my body.

Time passed but I still stayed in the small and cramped wooden square I was laying on. Later vehicles arrived. There were men who recklessly entered our house and they were armed.

I peeked through the small opening of the cabinet to see the men who were strangers to me.

'' Search the whole house! I'm sure that traitor is just hiding! 'Don't stop until you see and are presented to me!' 'Shouted a strong man to his companions.

'Who are these people?' I asked myself .. as if I could get an answer right away.
