It was just a business deal according to my father. I marry the son of his biggest competitor and they signed an agreement to split the market between them. It sounded like something a mob boss would ask of their daughter, but my father wasn't in the mob, at least not so far as I knew. He was the CEO of a billion-dollar company, just like the competitor was and both of them had spent almost two years fighting to corner the market for a stupid product that would be outdated in a year, two at the most. Then someone, a VP or maybe my father's mistress (same person) suggested a marriage of convenience. After all, you wouldn't screw over family. So, here I was, standing in a church next to a total stranger, both of us facing the minister as he droned on and on about the sanctity of marriage.

We each said I do, when it was asked of us, then put a ring on each other's left hand, while not once making eye contact. When it was time to kiss, he looked at me then and kissed me hurriedly on my cheek; his blue eyes looking quickly away as if I was something unexpected. We signed the register, were introduced as Mr. and Mrs. James Barnes, then he offered me his arm and we stepped down the aisle towards the open doors at the end of the church. All I had to do was pull away from him, sprint through the doors, hail a cab and I could run away. But I didn't. I took the long walk, stood in the receiving line, shook hands with my father and my new father-in-law's business colleagues then was told it was time to leave. My husband offered me his hand, led me out the doors, past the people throwing rose petals at us and into the limousine. Our wedding party piled into the second vehicle. At least it was quiet in there and as it pulled away; he looked behind us then let out a breath of air, seemingly glad that was over with.

"You thirsty?" he asked. "I think there's water in the mini fridge."

Without waiting for an answer, he opened it, took out two bottles and uncapped one, offering it to me before he opened his, draining half of it almost immediately. I sipped mine several times, then placed the cap back on.

"What did you father offer you to do this?" he asked.

I looked at him. "Nothing, just said I better do it if I wanted to still be part of the family and get my inheritance."

He frowned. "That's cold. My dad offered me $10 million. I talked him up to 25."

I looked out the window. Swell. My husband had to be paid to marry me.

"Sorry," he murmured. "I guess that sounds crass. You seem nice but I'm not the faithful type. I like my freedom."

I looked at him. He was a handsome man and in real life would never look at someone like me. He was all nightclubs, parties, exotic vacations and I was a quiet, shy wallflower, who had only ever had a handful of boyfriends. At least he was honest, if telling me he wasn't the faithful type meant he was probably going to cheat on me.

"James, you know the contract stipulates grandchildren, at least two."

"I know. I thought we could use IVF. I wouldn't expect you to sleep with me." He was quiet for a moment. "Call me Bucky. It's my nickname. James is what my father calls me when he's about to chew me out about my lifestyle."

"Okay. So, we'll have separate bedrooms?" He nodded.

"If you want but I won't bring anyone home," he said. "I wouldn't embarrass you like that and I'll be as discreet as I can." He frowned. "Your dad say anything about the divorce agreement in two years?"

I looked at him. "No, what divorce agreement?"

"You get $100 million as a settlement plus a house and a car, child support. I saw the papers and you signed it."

My mind went blank for a moment. There were so many documents that I signed when this was proposed, and I just put my signature where the lawyer said. Why wouldn't they make it known I had a divorce agreement?

"I can ask my lawyer, if you wish," he said. "I mean, you are my wife now, and your wellbeing is my concern. I'm not a complete cold-hearted asshole."

I smiled at him, and he squeezed my hand then he drank some more of his water. We pulled up to the reception venue and waited for the driver to open the door. Bucky got out, then offered me his hand to get out. There were several flashes from the paparazzi, as Bucky was well known in certain social circles, then we hurried inside and made our way to a private lounge for our formal wedding pictures. As the pictures of me and my attendants were being taken, I noticed Bucky talking animatedly with a man. He seemed bothered at what the man was explaining then when he was called for our pictures he turned to him.

"Get it done," he said. "It's not fair and I'll expose the whole thing right now if it isn't fixed."

He smiled at me as he approached, then stood where the photographer told him, right behind me. As the photographer directed the others into position he leaned towards my ear and spoke in a low voice.

"My lawyer said you signed over the proceeds of the divorce agreement to your father. I told him that was false, as you didn't even know about the agreement. If they don't fix it, we'll get an annulment and he'll get nothing. Since I already got paid by my dad, I'll give you half. It's only fair." My mouth was open, and he placed his hand under my chin, closing it, as he grinned. "I told you, I'm not an asshole, well, at least not to those who are my friends."

My smile during the photographs was genuine. It had been a long time since I had anyone that stood up for me; certainly not my parents or any of my siblings. My grandmother, before she died, was the last person who ever advocated for me, and I had forgotten how good it felt to have someone in my corner. When the pictures were done, Bucky went over to a table filled with liquor bottles and poured out shots for everyone. I looked at him dubiously, as I wasn't much of a drinker.

"Come on, it's your wedding day," he smiled. "Open your mouth, pour it in and swallow."

I did as he said, feeling it burn down my throat. He laughed then did his own shot, before pouring another. With his encouragement I drank that one, then another before the wedding planner came in to say we had to make our entrance. Grabbing my hand, he pulled me out the door and waited for the rest of the wedding party to go in as they were introduced. Then it was our turn and he looked at me, then smiled.

"You ready, Mrs. Barnes?"

I nodded and we danced our way into the reception room, as the guests clapped in time to the music. As we passed my family's table, I noticed my father was glaring at me. Bucky noticed too and leaned in close to me.

"Kiss me," he said. "Let your dad know that we're fucking with him."

"He'll be angry," I answered.

"So? Let him. He's arranged this so that only he benefits from this marriage. You deserve a piece of the action."

He twirled me around until our lips were just inches apart, then with an almost evil grin, he kissed me, and I kissed him back. As the guests hooted and hollered, we gave them a good show, then he stood up and pumped his fist in time to the bass beat in the song. I looked at my dad again and he was livid. Before the wedding, I would have been terrified of my dad being like this but maybe the three shots, the kiss, and the encouragement of my fake husband changed something because I suddenly didn't care what my father thought. Pumping my fist and jumping in time to the music I joined Bucky as we continued our entry dance around the room, before finally collapsing into our seats at the head table. He pushed my water glass to me, while he drank his then leaned close to me again.

"The trick to partying is to stay hydrated," he said. "Always drink water when you drink alcohol. It takes care of the hangover as well."

The evening went way too fast as we ate, drank, danced our first dance (Perfect by Ed Sheeran), then cut the cake, threw the garter and the bouquet. Every time my father tried to come over to me, Bucky whisked me away to dance or to meet some of his friends. When it was time for us to make our getaway, he picked me up, threw me over his shoulder and carried me out to the limousine, making me laugh. As soon as we got inside, he told the driver where to take us, then took my hand and kissed it. If I hadn't known better, I would swear that this was a man that really loved me. By the time we got to the hotel, I was quiet again, realizing that everything that Bucky did that night was a lie. It was fun but it was still a lie.

We checked in, went up to the hotel room, where our bags had already been dropped off, and Bucky tipped the bell boy before locking the door. Then he sat on a couch and patted the seat beside him. I didn't come over right away and he looked at me with puppy dog eyes, so I sat next to him.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Are you always this good of an actor? You had me believing for a moment that you ... that we were real."

"We are legally married," he answered. "I wasn't acting. I had a good time tonight. At first, I thought you were kind of a stick in the mud, but I realized that you just haven't really lived. You've been kept on a pretty short leash by your family, haven't you?"

"It's obvious, isn't it?" I sighed. "I don't like confrontation and I tend to let people have their way."

He nodded his head. "Like me. I'm sorry. I was just trying to get you to have a good time. You did have a good time, right?" Bucky was right about that as I did have a good time. I nodded. "Look, if there is anything good to come out of this arrangement one of them will be you allowing yourself to have fun. No matter what happens, I kind of like you, so if we become friends from this, I'll be very happy. Finally, getting you what is due to you is the top priority. I'm not going to let your father cheat you out of what was negotiated."

I smiled at him, then bent over and undid my shoes, slipping them off. Bucky gestured to his lap, and I changed positions, so my feet lay on top of his legs. Gently, he took one foot in his hands and began to massage it. I groaned and made a face as he hit every spot that was sore, making it feel so much better. When he was finished with that, he did the other foot. When I withdrew my feet from his hands, he got up and went to the bathroom, coming out drying his hands on a towel.

"I've drawn you a bath," he said. "Take your time, play your favourite playlist and I'll get set up out here."

"I thought ...." I looked at him, puzzled.

"What kind of husband would I be if I abandoned you on our wedding night? We won't have sex, but we can sleep in the same bed. I'm tired and it's been a long day."

Opening my bag, I took out my toiletries and pyjamas. He grinned at the pink elephants on them, then showed me his pyjama bottoms, with cookies on them. I chuckled, then went to the bathroom and closed the door. When I came out half an hour later, Bucky was changed into his bottoms and a plain white T-shirt, there was soft music playing and a bottle of champagne was open. On top of the bed was a plate of chocolate covered strawberries. Patting the space next to him, he offered me a hand as I crawled on, then poured me a glass of champagne. Holding our glasses up he made a toast.

"Here's to having a good time together, not a long time," he said. "Hopefully, we come out of this as friends because good friends are rare, and you can never have enough good friends."

We sipped the champagne, then he held a strawberry for me as I bit into it, before popping the rest of it in his mouth with a cheeky grin. For an hour we talked about ourselves, growing up in families that were focused on business more than anything else. I learned that Bucky lost his mother at a young age when she died of cancer. He went to boarding school, which he admitted could have made him bitter, but he formed some deep friendships and found some adults to have a meaningful substitute parent relationship with. His college years were spent mostly partying, but he did enough work to get his degree in finance and understood enough about business to agree that this marriage arrangement would keep both of our father's companies from inflicting fatal blows on each other. As I told him about being the quiet child in the family who seemed to always be ignored and forgotten when decisions were made, he frowned and held my hand, kissing it from time to time.

It was easy to talk to him and I cried a little that night. But he comforted me and when my yawns started coming more, he insisted I get under the covers. We curled up and faced each other in the dark. Before I closed my eyes he whispered.

"Sleep tight, pretty girl."

No one had ever called me pretty before.

For the next month, Bucky was pretty attentive. My father finally succeeded in cornering me to ask what the hell I was trying to do by bringing up the divorce agreement. Maybe being so much in Bucky's presence had rubbed off on me because I asked him why the lawyer thought I signed the money over to him. He grabbed my wrist and began to twist it when my husband walked in and quickly grabbed my father's wrist, surprising him with the strength of his grip.

"You don't ever touch my wife like that again," said Bucky, gritting his teeth a little. "I brought up the divorce agreement and was shocked that a father would be so cold-hearted to his daughter to literally try to pick her pocket before she even had any money in it. You want this deal to go through? Then you restore the agreement to what I signed; the money belongs to her. Otherwise, we get an annulment, and you get nothing."

"You can't annul the marriage," huffed my father. "You were together on the wedding night."

"We were but we didn't consummate the marriage," replied Bucky, throwing daggers at my father with his bright blue eyes. "Make sure you amend that divorce agreement and I want to be there when my wife signs it. You got that?"

He released my father, put his arm around me and led me away. We signed the amended agreement two days later that stipulated the money, house, car and child support, when we divorced, would go to me and only me.

Once a week, Bucky went out with his friends, partying. He always wore his wedding ring when the paparazzi took photographs of him and for quite a while he was careful, as there were no pictures of him going off with another woman. I knew he was seeing them, because he would come home smelling of their perfume, before he showered, put on his funky pyjama bottoms and slipped into bed, usually spooning behind me, something that he said he liked even though we had separate bedrooms.

Since the marriage agreement called for two children, Bucky arranged for us to visit the IVF clinic and we both underwent testing. He must have paid the doctor and staff there a lot of money to keep their questions to themselves because none of them ever said anything about why two healthy individuals who just got married didn't make a baby the old-fashioned way. I had to undergo shots to stimulate my ovaries so they could harvest multiple eggs. Then Bucky provided them with semen to fertilize the eggs in preparation for insertion into my uterus. Over the next few months, none of them implanted and I began to develop anxiety about it. He was great, never once blaming me. There were even a couple of occasions when he didn't go out with his friends and stayed home to comfort me when my period started, dashing our hopes once again.

Somehow, somewhere along the way, I realized something, about how I felt about him. It wasn't something I expected, falling in love with a man who made it clear from the start that friendship would be the most he could offer me. For as long as I could, I kept it to myself, not wanting to appear needy to Bucky. He had been wonderful and so kind to me. But after that realization, every time I saw him get ready to go out and knew that he would return smelling of someone else, it was inevitable that I finally said something.

"Don't go out," I whispered, one night, just as he came out of his bedroom, dressed in one of his Armani suits. "Please."

He looked at me as if I was joking then saw the pain in my eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked, sitting next to me.

"Stay home," I answered. "Don't go out with your friends tonight."

"I have to," he said. "We're on the VIP list at a new club opening. I'll be back before morning. After a little sleep-in we can spend the day together, maybe take a drive out to the coast." He smoothed my hair, then kissed my forehead. "Sleep tight, pretty girl."

He left without a backwards glance, and I cried. It wasn't the first time, and it wouldn't be the last, especially when the paparazzi succeeded in acquiring a picture of Bucky and a starlet kissing each other. He apologized but the crack between us was there, and it would only get worse. The night it was the worst was the night I almost died.

We were supposed to be at a charity event together, but he texted to say he was running late, and he would meet me there. Of course, when I showed up without him, I was swarmed by photographers, all of them asking where Bucky was and who he was with. Ignoring them as best as I could I entered the venue and was shown to my table, seated with several other wives of prominent individuals. Even though I had improved my social skills and learned to have more fun, these women weren't inclined to be friendly and after enduring their whispered comments with no word from Bucky I decided to go home. A car service had dropped me off but expecting Bucky to arrive in his car we didn't book a return trip. There were no taxis available, so I began to walk, trying to hail one as I walked. Somewhere, along the way, I began to cry like the pathetic little individual I always knew I was. Funny how quickly I crumbled, when I figured that even Bucky had enough of me.

I woke up in the emergency room, with a bright light glaring down on me, a collar around my neck, a tube down my throat and IVs in my arms. A doctor leaned over me until I looked at him then began asking me questions, but I couldn't speak, not with the tube blocking my voice. He told me I walked out into traffic without looking and was hit by a car. My heart stopped twice but they brought me back. Was there anyone they should call? I tried to point at my wedding ring as Bucky was the only person I wanted to see, but my arms were splinted as apparently, I thrashed around too much when I was out. He figured it out and held up my phone. Painfully, I signalled the code numbers with my fingers, and he unlocked it then phoned Bucky. Returning a moment later he bent over me again.

"He's on his way. Hang in there, okay? Nothing's broken but you do have internal injuries."

I moaned since there was really no other way to communicate. I must have fallen asleep or passed out because when I woke up again, I was in an ICU hospital room, there were the sounds of several monitors, and Bucky was sitting on a chair, with his head in his hands. He looked up at a sound I must have made and immediately came to my side, placing his hand on mine. All I saw in his eyes were guilt and sorrow.

"I'm so sorry, sweetheart," he said. "This is all my fault. I was supposed to be there with you, but I let others distract me and before I even realized that I had missed the whole event I got the call from the doctor."

I closed my eyes, feeling the tears streaming down from them. His apology, though sincere, really meant nothing. He promised to be my friend and instead, he did what my family had done my whole life, ignored me. To me, it was proof that I was truly meaningless in this world, that I was insignificant. I felt a cloth on my face and opened my eyes to see Bucky wiping my tears away with a washcloth. Painfully, I turned my head away from him.

"Please, don't," he begged. "Don't be angry with me. I fucked up. I know I did. I thought we could get through the two years and be friends, but I haven't been a good friend to you."

I still didn't look at him. I wasn't angry but I was disappointed. He tried to take my hand in his, but I pulled it away, bringing a distressed sound out of him. It must have affected me because a nurse came in to check the monitors and suggested that Bucky go home and come back in the morning. He put up an argument, but she convinced him that I needed to rest. Reluctantly, he agreed and bent over me, kissing me on the forehead.

"I'll do all I can to make it up to you," he whispered. "You were the last person I ever wanted to hurt."

He left then and I eventually fell asleep. Those first few days he was there from early in the morning until late at night. His father visited the second day, and I was aware of a fairly emotional whispered conversation between him and Bucky. None of my family visited. Three days in they took the tube out of my throat, confident that my bruised lungs and ribs were strong enough for me to breathe on my own. It still hurt to speak, almost as much as I was hurting emotionally. Bucky watched me with glassy eyes after the doctor and nurse left, seeming almost afraid to say anything. I looked at him, and the tears began to fall again, in earnest this time. Even though my body hurt I sobbed, and he was right there, his chair pulled up to the edge of the bed, kissing my hand.

"How can I make it better?" he asked. "Please, tell me."

"You won't," I answered, my voice raspy. "You made it clear from our wedding day that you weren't the faithful type. We can't be friends anymore."

"No, please, don't say that," he pleaded. "I need you. Don't you know that?"

I shook my head. "I don't know anything anymore; except every time you walk out the door to be with someone else it hurts so much. Loving you wasn't supposed to happen, but it did."

"You love me?" he asked, not quite believing what I was saying.

I looked away, then nodded my head. "You were nicer to me than anyone I ever met. Then suddenly you were gone more and then you didn't show up last night."

I covered my face with my hands and wept. The edge of the bed dipped slightly as he sat there, then he was carefully lifting me up in his arms to hold me.

"I'm sorry." He stroked my hair. "You know there are times I wake up at night and you're talking in your sleep. Strange, weird stuff, about kangaroos and jungle roads, and stuffing your face with hot dogs at a ball game. One night, I spoke to you, and we carried on a weird conversation. When I finally said you should go back to sleep, you said okay. Then you said good night and that you loved me. Just the way you said it I knew you were telling the truth. It frightened me because I'm not a good person. I party and sleep around too much, I spend money like it will never end, and I never once told anyone other than my mother that I loved them. She died, and it got into my head that if I loved someone, I would lose them someday." He touched my wedding ring, running his fingertip on it. "Then I almost lost you and I never once told you that I was falling in love with you, a love that I was scared to feel."

"You don't love me," I scoffed.

"I love that you listen to me and follow my lead, even when you really don't want to at first. I love your goofy pyjamas and how cuddly they make you feel when you're sleeping in my arms. I love that I would rather ... be here in the hospital begging for your forgiveness and love, than partying with people who only want to ignore the real world. With you, I have real fun, where I laugh and feel good about helping you and being there for you, because that makes me feel good about myself."

"That's not love," I murmured.

"Maybe not but I know that I don't want to be anywhere but near you."

I looked at him, truly looked at him and saw a man with bags under his bloodshot eyes, his hair was sticking out at odd angles because he had fallen asleep in the armchair of the hospital room, and he had several days of beard stubble on his face because he hadn't shaved. This from a man who took pride in how he looked. He wasn't dressed well, like he normally was when he appeared in public. He looked like a mess, and it was because he loved me, and thought he had lost me.

"Do you think we could start over?" he asked, those puppy dog eyes suddenly prominent, even in their bloodshot state. "After you get better, we can go away and just be ourselves, without any family or the business bothering us. I don't care where and it doesn't have to be fancy or expensive. I just want to be with you."

"No more partying with your friends at nightclubs?" I asked. "No more sleeping with other women? Just you and me?"

"Just you and me," he repeated. "The only person I want to sleep with is you, when you're ready."

I couldn't help it. I sobbed again and began to cry. Immediately, Bucky began to kiss my face. Then he looked in my eyes, placed his hand on my cheek and kissed me for real, a soft and sweet kiss that said I was the most important person in his world.

He was as good as his word. Once I was released, he leased a guest house on the coast. It was quiet, far enough away from the other houses on that stretch of windswept beach that we could pretend we were alone. We visited farmer's markets, picking up fresh food for meals that Bucky cooked for me, trying but not always succeeding in his attempts. It didn't matter because we were together and that was the real reason we were there. We walked; short distances at first as I got my strength back, then longer where we would take our time and pick up interesting shells and rocks on the beach. Sometimes we kept them, sometimes we tossed them back into the ocean. Not once did he look at his cellphone. In fact, the charge ran out and he left it on the kitchen counter as a reminder that he wanted all of his attention on me. At night, we curled up in front of the fireplace until I fell asleep, and he would carry me in his arms to bed, helping me into my comfy pyjamas, before changing into his own and spooning behind me.

One night we had a storm, with pounding waves, thunder and lightning, and a wind that rattled every window in the house. He held me until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I looked at his sleeping face, admiring his straight nose, defined cheekbones, and the cleft in his chin. He must have sensed I was looking at him because he opened his eyes, those blue grey eyes that seemed to change colour like the ocean did whenever it was peaceful or angry. There must have been something in my eyes that morning because Bucky kissed me differently, then looked at me in a way he never had before. As his hands moved under my top, and caressed my skin, he shifted so that he was looking over me. I nodded yes, and he smiled softly, before kissing me again and pressing his body against mine.

As pieces of clothing were discarded, we explored each other's bodies, responding with soft sounds as we awakened our sensuous side. It was lovemaking that started out slowly, then built in intensity as Bucky showed me physically how much I meant to him. I had never been that intimate with anyone before, even though I thought I had with the few boyfriends of my limited experience. None of the others made me feel what he did and any last doubts I may have had about his devotion to me were erased. I was in love, truly in love for the first time and so was Bucky.

For six weeks we lived in this bubble where only we existed. Then Bucky plugged his phone in, and all the notifications sounded, one after another for almost an hour. He deleted the ones from his partying friends. They were part of his past now. There were a couple from my father, demanding to know where we were. Then there were the others from his father and lawyers. As he read them, he sighed then looked at me and sat in an armchair, pulling me onto his lap.

"When you were in the ICU, I asked my father for a favour," he said. "I asked him how we could take over your father's company."

"Why?" I asked. "Our marriage was the agreement to keep the competition equal with him, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, it was but when I demanded that your father amend that divorce agreement, he did something stupid and frankly, unethical. He entered into a secret agreement with an overseas company and contracted with them to provide him with the same product at a fraction of the cost. They aren't the same quality, but he is selling them for a bit less than ours, and he makes more profit on them. It's cut into our profits. We'll be alright because Dad's R&D division are already testing the update that would have been brought out at the end of the two years when we were originally going to get divorced. Of course, now, we're not getting divorced."

"We're not?" I asked, my heart racing a little.

"Nope. You've got me for life." He shrugged. "But it means you don't get your 100 million, although you do get a house and car. They were my late wedding presents to you." He cleared his throat. "Do you know how your father has his company structured?"

"No, I assumed he owns and runs it himself," I said.

"Well, he is CEO, but he doesn't exactly own it, at least not all of it," said Bucky. "It's actually shared between your dad, your siblings and yourself. He's never paid you dividends or anything from the company, has he?"

"No, I didn't know any of it," I said. "I feel stupid now, but I always assumed he had total control."

"I think you were kept in deliberate ignorance of it, and he used some shady tax loopholes to keep the money that was yours out of your hands. It doesn't appear he did the same thing to your siblings which led me to wonder why he has always seemed to be so cold-hearted to you."

It was true, my dad never really liked me. I was aware of that from my earliest memories. Bucky's hand on my mine drew my attention back to him.

"He's not your dad." I opened my mouth then closed it. "He was married to your mother when you were born but your father was someone else. The company was her's and he had no choice but to declare you as his daughter at your birth. When she died, she left the company divided up between all of you."

"My mother's not dead," I said.

"She's not your mother, she's your stepmother," he replied. "Originally, she was your dad's mistress. He married her a month after your mother died, when you were two years old. Since then, your father has cheated you out of everything that should have been yours."

"What do I do?" I asked.

"You could launch takeover plans of your own, but I think it would expose you to investigation and possibly prosecution if the full story of how your father operates becomes public." That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing considering how he cheated me. Bucky smiled a little. "I think you should turn him in. Report him to the FBI, the IRS, and any other regulatory agency that oversees corporations. They'll freeze all the assets of the company while they investigate and once they confirm what my dad found out; you won't be a subject of investigation. You'll be recognized as a victim of a long-term plan to swindle you out of your inheritance. You can even bring a private civil suit against him. At the least it will expose your father and your family to some pretty intense public scrutiny. There might be some criticism about you, but I'll be with you while this happens, and I won't let anyone associate you with them."

I considered his words. For someone who said he barely passed his university courses he sounded pretty sure of himself and of what we should do. Just at that moment I felt like I had to throw up and I ran from him to the bathroom, emptying my stomach. His hands were on my hair, gently pulling it back so it didn't get soiled. Then he gave me a glass of water as I sat on the floor. A strange but satisfied smile was on his face.

"You haven't had a period since we first got here," he said.

I stopped drinking the water and looked up at him. "Do you think I'm pregnant?"

He shrugged then kneeled down to play with the ends of my hair. "Maybe. We can pick up a pregnancy test on the trip back to the city."

Something occurred to me. "The grandchildren clause ... who asked for that?"

He smiled. "My dad. I'm an only child so he wanted to make sure that I had heirs before I died because of my partying ways. If you are pregnant, I'll be happy and so will he. I'm going to be more involved in the company but not to the extent that you feel left out. In fact, my dad thinks you might be a good fit for the Board of Directors. We can work together and take over managing it when he retires."

"I don't know anything about business," I protested.

"I'll teach you," he smiled. "Say yes, to staying as my wife, the mother of my child, and partner in business. There's no one else I want to have it all with."

I agreed and his smile lit me up inside. When we returned to the city, the lawyers that his dad retained helped me turn my father and siblings in for the irregularities of how they ran my mother's business. Like Bucky said, several agencies became interested, and they confirmed that I had been cheated out of tens of millions of dollars worth of income and compensation. There were many shady deals they engaged in, and even the ones that weren't shady, like the marriage arrangement between Bucky and me, weren't always honoured. It took a long time for the whole thing to wind its way through the legal system but when it did, it was my company, and mine alone, as the Board of Directors fired my father and siblings after they were forced to divest their holdings in order to pay years of back taxes on the income they didn't declare. When Bucky's father, George Barnes, proposed a merger I accepted, being offered the position of Chief Ethics Officer in the combined companies.

There was something else that happened. On the way home from the coast, we stopped and picked up a home pregnancy test. The next morning, we waited as the stick processed the urine sample. The word Pregnant appeared and we accepted that our life was going to change. Bucky left behind the party lifestyle completely, becoming the partner in life I had always dreamed of. When our son was born, he was hands on as a father and stayed that way with each child we had, four in all. Some people said we lived a charmed life, but it wasn't always that way.

I never felt truly loved until I survived my accident and confessed my love to my husband. Bucky, who had dealt with his own trauma of his mother's death and being sent to boarding school at a young age, had lived a life of shallowness, afraid to truly be intimate with anyone, until he almost lost me. Our sham marriage ultimately brought him and his father closer together, healing the rift that had kept them apart. With the trust we built between us we formed a new family, made richer by the birth of our children. Although my biological father was dead, he did have children, born after his affair with my mother. We got along well, and they became my new siblings. Whatever cold-hearted life I suffered before I agreed to marry a man I didn't know didn't matter, as Bucky and I showered our own family with all the love we could muster. Above all else, we were happy.

Still working on personifying the entire cabinet, so have who I have so far + notes on Gov, DC and IDC

Federal Government (Founded as Continental Congress) 

September 5th, 1774. 

Role: As the federal government among the states and cabinet he holds the same place as the president, unlike the actual president he cannot make decisions simply communicate the ones made. Constantly stressed but in a constantly tired way, he is running off caffeine and nicotine even if he swore he’d stop smoking 30 years ago. Spends the most time out of everyone considering walking off into the woods and never returning, except he unfortunately cares about these assholes. 

District of Columbia

July 14th, 1790. 

Role: This guy is the VP, Chief of Staff, and Press Secretary rolled into one. He lives off black coffee and 3 hours of sleep a night. Constantly ready to throw down with anyone messing up his daily schedule. His only true skills are arguing with journalists, accurately scheduling in time slots for “state tomfuckery”, and giving Gov advice ranging from intelligent well thought out comments to “that’s a dumb as fuck plan”. He gets 1 weekend off and spends it laying face down on his moms (Marylands) couch asking why she gave him life in the first place. Who approved this. Might be fucking Education. There are rumors at least. Everyone in the White House fears him. 

State (IDC)

July 27th, 1789

Role: The country needs an international face and she is surely a face. The blonde personality is actually fantastic when it comes to bargaining, you think you have the upper hand because she’s kinda dumb then next thing you know you’ve signed away exactly what she wanted. The master of going on nice vacations on the government’s dime and only working for twenty minutes the entire week. Is married to a European country but no one knows which one because she refuses to say. 

Treasury

September 2nd, 1789

Role: We all need one person who is actually financially responsible, unfortunately for Treasury no one actually listens to him. Spends 99% of his time staring at the submitted annual budgets and wondering what the fuck they need this for and where they think he is getting this money from. He’s going to shut off States credit card. Even outside of financial stuff has solid life advice 90% of the time, he’s old so it makes sense. The other 10% of the time however his advice consists of fake your death and run away to live as a hermit in the woods, but that’s only when on the verge of another shutdown bc congRESS WON’T APPROVE A FUCKING BUDGET. He’s fine. He’s an adult. He’ll calm down. 

Defense 

August 7th, 1789. 

Role: The real reason Treasury spends so much time staring at the annual budgets. “I love all of the branches equally, Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Space Force, uhh the other one”, in fairness Coast Guard has never been DOD but it's still funny. Monday through Friday he is the most disciplined person you’ve ever met, up at zero four to get in a frankly insane workout, and make sure he looks sharp before showing up at the office right at nine. Then five o’clock on Friday hits and that all just,,, goes right out the window. How many dui’s did we have this weekend, Sergeant? ultimately treats the branches (sans coast) the same way old women treat their crusty purse dogs. Never actually been in the military and does dress like a wannabe. Gives obnoxiously big pickup truck vibes, but how dare you stereotype him like that (he drives a hummer).

ALIGNED

Chapter 12.

next

8:00pm; streets of BGC,

After a satisfying dinner they came out of the restaurant, hands intertwined with smile on their faces, “So why did you get jealous on ate girl from twitter po?” Sephie teased making Kaliya glare at him while squeezing his hand, “Can we not talk about that na po?” She said in mixed of annoyed and embarrassed tone. He stopped walking and let go of her hand only to cup her face, “You’re so cute po” He said while looking directly into her eyes, “If you ever feel jealous, uncomfortable, or even insecure about anything please tell me po, i’ll never get tired of reassuring you. You’re the only girl I like, Kaliya Manuel. I mean it.” He said in a serious tone making her smile. “I hit the jackpot huh?” She teased leaning to his touch. “Yes, yes you did.” he answered in a confident tone, “But don’t feel pressured, vp. I’ll be waiting till you’re ready po.” She just smiled then wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face on his chest while giggling.

10:00 pm; Jaemin’s car

“Where po tayo next?” She asked while looking out the window to see the familiar streets, “Was planning on a picnic date for our second date pero baka matagalan pa kaya now nalang” Natatawang sagot ni Sephie, “What— picnic?? at night? hindi ba malamok?” Naguguluhang tanong ni Kaliya. Sephie drove to a private residence, “Wow binahay agad ako” Biro ni Kaliya, tumawa naman si Sephie habang nagpapark. He stepped out of the car and open the car door for her helped her step out of the car. She took her flowers and her bad with her, he intertwined their hands as they went inside the house, “You see, there’s no private garden available— or at least I didn’t see any available so i rented the whole place…” He said as she lead her to the garden where pretty flowers where scattered around and a blanket was layed on the floor with a bunch of dessert and snacks in it, in front of it was also a projector where they can watch a movie. “It’s beautiful, sephie…” she said while looking around with glow in her eyes, he just looked at her eyes full of affection, “Glad you like it po, I bugged LJ and chi to help me set up kaninang kanina during vacant po.” He said making her laugh out loud, “You got chi to help you do this?” Natatawang tanong nito, “A little guilt trip lang po from the time you blocked me tapos nag shut up na sya kakacomplain” Sagot ni sephie habang tinutulungan syang umupo, “What should we watch po? Onej said you love filipino horror movies daw po.” Tanong ni nito, “Yes po, I wanna watch ‘Seklusyon’, I saw a bunch of tiktok reviews about it” Sephie just nodded and picked the movie. He pulled kali closer on a comfortable position where she layed her head on his chest as they continued to watch the movie. She could feel him occasionally fidgeting during the jumpscares, in the middle of the movie she looked up to him only to see him so invested on the movie which made her silently giggle.

11:45 pm; After the movie

Kaliya clapped her hands while smiling sweetly, “That was a great movie” Sephie on the other hand snuggled closer to her, “That was terrifying po” He said while hiding on the crook of her neck making her laugh, “Awe my sweet boy, horror is not for you huh?” She said while patting his head, she handed him a glass of water “Water po” Alok nya, napatingin naman si Sephie sakanya, kinuha ni sephie yung tubig at uminom sya dito. “Imagine if that was based on a true story, vp. But like, during the filming of that movie don’t you think the actors felt anything strange po?” She shifted her position, now facing him but her kept her hands on his squeezing it occasionally, “What do you mean po?” tanong ni Kaliya, “Like, during incantations and shit or like any symbolic rituals they do for the sake of the film, even if it’s “fiction” at some point point it’s still based on something po, right? So like during filming what if they actually call to someone without even knowing it?” He asked in a serious tone, Kaliya just listened to his rants not completely absorbing what he’s saying just staring at his pretty face… “Hello? pretty girl? are you even listening po?” She snapped out of it and just laughed, “I am listening po— well I was then i got lost in your pretty eyes” She flirted making him laugh, “Is that your attempt to make me blush, vp?” He teased, “Parang wala ngang effect eh,” She sighed “and I thought I had more effect on you…” She said in a sulky tone, he pulled her closer and cuddled her body on his chest as they both stared at the sky. He sighed in contentment and smiled. “I like you, VP…” He whispered, “I know.” She answered. They both fell asleep comfortably on the mini fort that was built right next to the picnic spot…

[beardedmrbean]

Newspaper Helsingin Sanomat covered the discussion on Finland at the US vice presidential debate on Tuesday night between Republican candidate JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz.

On the subject of school shootings, Walz brought up his experience visiting Finnish schools.

"I've spent time in Finland and seen some Finnish schools. They don't have this [school shootings] happen, even though they have a high gun ownership rate in the country," Walz said on the debate stage.

Walz said he and presidential candidate Kamala Harris were both gun owners and stressed that it was the responsibility of policy makers to ensure the safety of children.

He also spoke about how he was affected by meeting the families of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut. Walz emphasised that change can be made without taking away Americans' guns.

Vance, however, advocated for improving school safety by reinforcing doors, windows and other security features. He also said schools should be given more resources.

"I appreciate what Tim [Walz] said about Finland, because I do think it illustrates some of the weird differences between our own country's gun violence problem and Finland. First of all, we have way higher rates of mental health substance abuse, we have way higher rates of depression, we have way higher rates of anxiety. We unfortunately have a mental health crisis in this country," Vance responded.

HS also noted that Walz is the current governor of Minnesota, a state with a large population of Finnish ancestry, and that a photograph of him wearing a Finland beanie previously circulated online.

Despite the rhetoric praising the Nordic country, Finland suffered its first school shooting in over a decade earlier this year.

Gold going up

Rural-focused newspaper Maaseudun Tulevaisuus highlighted that the global price of gold has surged to new highs. Current prices are reaching near 80 euros per gram, compared to under 10 euros in 2000.

While this has not yet triggered a gold rush in Lapland, there has been notable interest from foreign prospectors.

Mechanical gold mining has ceased in areas like Lemmenjoki National Park, cutting production to a third of previous levels. However, Europe's largest gold mine in Kittilä produced seven tonnes of gold last year.

Kai J. Rantanen, head of the Lapland Association of Gold Miners (Lapin Kullankaivajain Liitto), said that social media and foreign television reality series about gold miners created a movement even before the price had risen.

"Many have since discovered a reality of gold mining that may not suit their own psyche and physique. It requires a strong back," Rantanen said.

Despite strict environmental regulations, Lapland continues to attract gold prospectors, including from countries like the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany.

However, only about 20 of the region's 2,000 prospectors earn a significant portion of their livelihood from gold.

Learning Finnish on the job

The story of Saudi Arabian Mahir Ashraf Khan learning Finnish made it into Tampere daily Aamulehti.

Khan moved to Finland about two years ago, and while the words in his Finnish sentences are at times out of order, his fast and confident speech is easy to listen to, according to the paper.

Over the past couple of years, Khan's Finnish language skills have improved from non-existent to conversational. Khan learned the basics of Finnish in a beginners' course at Tampere University as soon as he arrived in Finland.

However, he conceded that his goal of effortless conversation is still a long way off.

"It would be great to be able to think in Finnish as well. Now I might be able to, if I concentrate," Khan said.

Having grown up in Saudi Arabia, Khan knew he wanted to study abroad as soon as he finished high school.

Out of several options, AL wrote that he chose Finland for a somewhat surprising reason — in Finland there are bidet showers even in public toilets. That's important for someone from the Middle East, laughed Khan, who moved to the Tampere district of Hervanta in autumn 2022.

Middle School tyrant finds out no one likes her.

At my Middle School we had a vice principal who fancied herself a dictator. Any tiny bit of power she got was an issue. But I was a middle schooler at the time and a good kid not often in trouble so I didn't cross her path until 8th grade. Her friend was a Bus driver named Pat.

For 6th and 7th grade years we had an awesome bus driver. He was nice to the kids, let us put the windows down when the Georgia heat got too much etc. But he retired and the bus driver we got was an extremely angry middle aged woman named "Pat" who did not like children and made that clear every day. "The windows stay up or we go back to the school!" she would yell as she had the only fan blowing in her face on a 100+ degree school bus. Ostensibly this was to keep us from throwing things out of the bus but that was never an issue before or after. The real reason was that before the bus driver could leave the bus at the end of the day all the windows had to be back up and locked. So this saved her effort.

My bus stop was the first she drove by but the last to pick up and had been that way for years. Pat changed this and decided she only wanted to stop on the first pass by and kept threatening to leave the kids in my neighborhood if we made her stop twice.

I first got on the Karen VP's radar because Pat left me on the side of a very busy road one morning. She could have stopped but wagged her finger at me as she drove away and left me. I flipped off the kids laughing at me out of the back window but the bus driver Pat thought I was flipping her off. I didn't get suspended because she left me with no way to get to school on the side of an extremely busy road and my mom threatened to sue if it happened again. But after that they had it out for me. Pat tried several times to get me on anything. She even coached a kid to say I bullied him but when the real Principal brought in the kid he said "no OP is my friend it was those other kids" and a bunch of other little shit. Anything to get me in trouble.

So the Petty revenge comes in here. I was doing my best to make the bus drivers life hell in little passive aggressive ways. She got annoyed at anything so it was easy. But Karen was harder to do anything to. After fighting with the bus driver and the Assistant Principal for most of the year, revenge came in the form of a Police fundraiser. They were advertising it on the local tv news and local radio stations. If you put someone up for "arrest" the cops would show up and throw someone in handcuffs and "Put them in jail" until they could call a few people and fundraise the "bail". The person who set up the arrest had to pay like $10 but worth it. My mom after being annoyed by Pat and Karen all year put Karen the Assistant Principle up for arrest. The cops showed up and took her to the room where she could call her friends and raise the money for her to go. The idea was that mom was going to keep having her arrested as long as she could.

Except no one would give her the "bail" money. Not even for a charity. So she ended up missing most of a day sitting in the police precinct trying to get anyone to put up enough money for her to leave. Eventually the cops told my mom that they had to let her go because it had gone on too long. She was the only one who didn't raise the bail money that day. Letting her know exactly how much she meant to everyone at the school felt great. I had a friend who heard her complaining about it later that day. She had called the Principal who did donate some but the other teachers gave nothing and none of her friends would help out. She apparently thought one of the teachers put her up for it. It's so minor and so petty it almost doesn't count. But when I left that school at the end of the year mom went up and asked her "how was jail?" before we walked away for the last time. First time I ever heard a "Reeeeeee" sound from a human.

VPN推荐

不论你是要在海外观看喜欢的节目,还是想要保护线上数据的安全，虚拟私人网路(VPN)都是现代网路使用者不可或缺的工具。VPN可以解锁地域限制的内容，同时也能加密你的网路流量，有效防范骇客和窥探者。无论你的目的是娱乐、工作还是隐私保护，VPN都能为你提供安全可靠的网路连线。

国内vpn推荐

随着时间的推移，防火长城不断升级，翻墙越来越难，很多翻墙软件倒在了下面，很多之前好用的科学上网工具也不起作用。当然也有新的翻墙VPN梯子、VPN软件、VPN协议不断被开发出来。本文将介绍翻墙后玩什么和不同的翻墙教程，以及在中国好用的翻墙软件推荐。

翻墙和科学上网简介

科学上网是什么？

科学上网和翻墙其实是同一个意思，就是利用翻墙软件绕过中国大陆的互联网限制，从而增强长城GFW。

防火墙长城简称为GFW，是由英文（The Great Firewall）翻译过来的。防火墙长城封杀了主流国外网站，因此你在中国大陆无法访问Google、Wikipedia、YouTube、Facebook、Twitter、Instagram、Gmail、Telegram这些网站，在浏览器直接打开会直接显示无法访问，俗称某个网站被墙了。

会有科学上网、国内翻墙、梯子、机场、自由上网、突破大陆网络限制这些词呢，最开始其实都是为了通过擦边球的关键词，在中国百度、知乎、苹果/安卓手机应用商店找到中国可用的VPN。

由于防火长城封杀逐年升级，在中国能用的VPN翻墙软件已经为数不多，如果你正在寻找好用的翻墙软件，可以以下VPN推荐列表：

1. ExpressVPN  — 最佳翻墙软件推荐：屹立十多年不倒，科学上网稳定不限流量，玩外服游戏看视频不卡顿。

2. PureVPN  — 高通量的翻墙VPN：运营时间增加知名品牌，价格便宜优惠折扣多，连接快速体验好。

3. Surfshark  — 中国翻墙软件：为翻墙而生的VPN，中文官网和VPN软件支持，提供SVIP线路香港、美国翻墙VPN服务器。

我们对收藏款国外VPN进行了评测，其中大部分都无法在中国连接使用，其中包括免费VPN以及付费翻墙软件。如果你想知道哪些VPN在中国好用？免费VPN在中国稳定吗？远离钓鱼VPN和破解版VPN？

如果你不知道如何使用VPN翻墙，可以参考后面更详细的翻墙教程。

一、付费VPN翻墙软件，最佳推荐翻墙网方式

这是我推荐的最稳定的正确方式，简单易用的客户端软件，备用服务器多，专业技术人员维护。其实就是，科学上网这个问题，你充钱就可以解决。如果你不知道如何使用翻墙软件上网，这种方式优势更大。

使用体验好，消耗设置小白也可轻松上手，注册下载登陆翻墙VPN账号就可以翻墙科学上网。

支持多台设备同时在线，VPN软件兼容电脑、手机、平板、浏览器扩展、游戏机、路由器、智能电视。

全球VPN服务器覆盖，中国大陆周边香港、台湾、新加坡低延迟IP节点供应。

无线流量不限带宽，支持解锁国外流媒体Netflix、迪士尼+、亚马逊

高级AES-256安全加密，防止IP/DNS数据泄露，匿名上网保护隐私。

支持P2P种子和BT下载，提供游戏VPN加速器专用线路，看视频流畅无缓冲。

全部在线客服支持，30天退款保证，视频教程和帮助文档可解决大部分问题。

二、自建翻墙梯子，适合有技术的同学

如果你懂技术，会写代码，也可以自己买云服务器(VPS)，然后用网上开源代码(SSR、V2Ray、Trojan等)自己配置科学上网梯子。缺点是，你花的钱可能和买VPN服务差不多甚至更高贵，只有一个IP很容易被墙，程序挂了要自己找问题，服务器要配置，客户端软件要配置，其实维护就是费时间。

需要购买VPS服务器，根据研究的翻墙软件搭建教程，熟悉计算机基本操作支持。

花费大量时间搭建翻墙梯子，配置服务器、客户端软件，解决IP被墙、程序异常各种问题。

承担私自搭建翻墙工具的法律风险，随时都有可能被请喝茶。

三、付费机场代理，慎选避免跑路

机场是什么意思？就是一些懂技术的网友，买了很多服务器，自建梯子拿来售卖，因为开源客户端的Logo像飞机，所以就叫机场了。这种方式和付费VPN有很多相似之处，由于是国内运营，而且大部分是个人维护，但风险还是很大的。

个人开发的机场梯子随时都可能跑路，会员费肯定拿不回来了。

翻墙软件不稳定，经常断开连接，服务器负载过高。

机场站长很容易被请喝茶，所有注册使用的账号都会被上报。

四、免费VPN不靠谱，偶尔翻墙就可以用

想必你已经用过很多免费VPN，也知道免费的翻墙工具体验到底怎么样。网上有关免费VPN的信息铺天盖地，但用过都知道，哪有什么免费的东西。关于免费VPN的出售用户数据其实都不是最重要的，毕竟中国用户也没有什么隐私可言。

速度慢才是它的最大缺点，因为大多数生成提供免费翻墙服务的VPN，都是通过这种方式吸引用户付费。因此免费科学上网的节点总是让人满为患，稳定性一般也相当差。

免费翻墙软件针对防御长城投入的研发力度不够，伪装性很差，容易被检测封杀。

每月免费流量有限，一般限制当天500MB，当月10GB左右，下载带宽只有100kb/s以下。

只允许1台设备同时登陆，一个免费IP节点可用。

最多只能访问简单网页，无法解锁流媒体、玩游戏以及P2P种子BT下载。

好用的翻墙软件推荐

选择好用的翻墙软件还要注意一些问题。首先看看要配备是否有中国大陆附近的服务器，比如香港、日本、美国等，这样才能保证可靠的科学上网速度。

退款保证最短这些翻墙VPN商信誉标准很重要，除此之外无法使用也能保证不踩坑。以下推荐的VPN无论是在速度、价格还是翻墙稳定性方面，都具备很大的优势，每款VPN测评最后都附带了翻墙教程。

1. ExpressVPN官网——最好用的翻墙软件

功能特点：

光路协议翻墙效果很好。

速度快带宽大，适合观看视频。

老牌商，信用好经得起时间的考验。

支持物流，满足多需求设备。

30天退款保证，支持支付宝，包年套餐$6.7/月。

长期翻墙的中国用户，恐怕对ExpressVPN来说并不陌生，它在我们的VPN排行中排名很靠前。它已经稳定运营十多年了，并且一直与防御长城对抗，每次遇到特殊时期都会快速出现针对，是我们评测过的最好用的VPN。之前也一直提供中国官网，但据悉中文山寨网站太多，严重影响了ExpressVPN品牌形象，目前已经取消中文镜像域名。

独特并具有专利的Lightway协议是ExpressVPN立足于中国而时间不倒的关键，这种VPN协议具有坚固的加密性，使得防火墙长城很难发现你正在使用翻墙app，从而能严重降低VPN被封的风险，使其成为一款优秀的科学上网工具。安全性你完全不用担心，国外用户非常关注VPN的安全性和无日志，而ExpressVPN又是VPN中的佼佼者，不必担心他们会泄露你的数据。

ExpressVPN怎么样？功能服务简介：

全球VPN服务商，运营时间截止，公司地处英属维尔京群岛，信用良好严格零遵守日志政策。

自主研发的翻墙协议Lightway，能有效突破防火墙长城封锁速度，翻墙软件稳定好用快。

全球3000多台VPN服务器，其中香港、日本、韩国、美国IP节点居多，访问YouTube、Facebook、Twitter更快速。

无流量限制，可解除国外流媒体断层限制，绕过Netflix、迪士尼+、BBC iPlayer、Hulu、HBO Max、Amazon Prime Video的版权限制和VPN封杀。

支持20多种设备，提供针对电脑、手机、智能电视、路由器、游戏机兼容性良好的翻墙VPN。

高级安全加密和数据泄露防护，标配分割隧道、终止开关功能，可分流第四个网站流量。

解锁Netflix、BBC iPlayer等流媒体服务的功能也很重要，因为这些网站目前存在锁区的问题，所以不允许用户在其他地区观看，你必须借助翻墙软件连接到相应的服务器才能正常观看，只有像ExpressVPN这种不限制带宽和速度快的VPN才能流畅观看。

2. PureVPN 官网— 多用途翻墙VPN

功能特点：

总部位于英国属维京群岛，熟悉中国网络环境。

支持多达10台设备同时连接。

提供静态IP服务，适合外贸人士。

提供中国国内IP地址，满足翻墙回国需求。

31天退款保证，包年套餐$1.9/月。

PureVPN比较引人注目的一点是，它是一家早��注册在中国香港的外国公司，是最早涉足VPN领域的服务商，目前由于某些原因，总部已经搬迁到国外。PureVPN不管是官网还是客户端软件，都支持中文。在应用程序中选择科学上网模式，可以用于在中国翻墙。

除了翻墙之外，PureVPN还提供许多有用的功能。其独立IP功能可以静态IP，这在绕过Facebok的IP检测时非常有用。而动态IP是大多数VPN的默认服务，因为动态IP IP可以根据用户当前的网络情况和线路的频繁程度，为用户提供最佳的连接速度。同时，PureVPN在中国内地的上海、徐州等地也部署有服务器因此，同样海外华人翻墙回国的不错的选择。

PureVPN怎么样？功能服务简介：

在香港注册的知名翻墙VPN，引起了外界对中国大陆长城对VPN的封杀，拥有专业的翻墙技术。

客户端VPN软件简单高效，启动连接快速延迟低，高级功能包括公共WiFi安全保护、端口转发、DDoS保护。

翻墙软件内提供科学上网、视频流媒体、P2P种子下载、玩游戏多种模式，满足不同的上网需求。

支持10台设备同时在线，兼容手机、电脑、平板设备Windows、MacOS、iOS、Android、Linux，浏览器扩展Chrome、FireFox、Safari。

31天退款保证，官网中文支持，多种在线客服，价格优惠，多种付款方式。

保障隐私和安全问题是VPN服务商立足之根本，其通过AES 256的密钥为用户提供安全，这属于军用机之外的加密强度，可以避免第三方机构、黑客窃取你的数据。PureVPN还具有隐私的DNS服务器，在你翻墙访问Facebook、Google等网站时，不会将请求发送到公共DNS服务器，因此可以绕过防火墙长城的DNS检测，让科学上网更加稳定。

3. Surfshark官网 — 不限制设备数量

功能特点：

不限制设备数量，适合多设备用户。

NoBorders具有不错的伪装优势，适合科学上网。

美国服务器节点多，分布多。

支持支付宝(需要切换到香港IP才会显示)。

30天退款保证，包年套餐$2.4/月。

Surfsahrk和Panda VPN成立时间差不多，也是一款价格便宜的VPN，不过Surfshark的用户群体主要还是在国外，稳定性因此要差一些。它有一个NoBorders模式，可以在网络受限制的地区使用，换这句话说的就是翻墙。

其他安全功能不用多说，比如AES-256、IKEv2、隐藏IP、无日志、专用DNS，这些基本上大部分成熟的翻墙软件都具备，不然就不是一款好用的梯子了。当然我们初衷是为了翻墙，它的NoBorders模式是我们关注的重点，官网给出的图标很音符，你细品，不是就是防御长城，也很意味着深长了。

Surfsahrk怎么样？功能服务简介：

新生代翻墙软件，成立时间不长，翻墙模式在中国很好用，稳定性和隐秘性都比较强。

无限设备支持，���以共享账号，可以在Windows电脑、MacOS电脑、iOS苹果(iPhone、iPad)、Android、Linux上使用，支持Android智能电视、Apple TV、Roku、Amazon Fire Stick

加密安全性不输大牌VPN，软件客户端体验体验，具备深度杀毒、广告拦截、WebRTC漏洞保护功能。

支持最新IKEv2/IPsec、OpenVPN、WireGuard安全性加密协议。

与其他翻墙VPN最大的不同，是Surfshark不限制设备数量。啥意思？就是你只要在电脑、手机和浏览器插件上同时使用，划重点“同时使用”，这样你就可以和你的朋友共享一个账号，您可以在个人中心页面下载翻墙软件。

4. Private Internet Access 官网  — 隐形VPN模式低于翻墙

功能特点：

可保证在中国流畅运行，翻墙效果显着。

运用市场上最高级别的加密，使用AES-256进行2048位加密。

自主运行的服务器，安全性更高。

30天退款保证，提供银联支付，包年套餐$2/月。

PrivateVPN总部瑞士，具有良好的信用和背景，对中国市场非常重视，客户端软件支持中文。他们也开发了自己的专属协议，因此位于翻墙软件稳定性方面表现不错，目前便宜的价格也相当吸引力。

隐形VPN（StealthVPN）是PrivateVPN的一项专利技术，比较专业的解释是，其在OpenVPN协议的基础上对元数据进行加密和干扰，从而绕过防火墙长城的深包检测。相比普通的VPN协议就而言，隐形VPN（StealthVPN）具备更好的速度稳定性，同时不会降低科学上网梯子的。

PrivateVPN怎么样？功能服务简介：

自主研发的翻墙协议，比国内小飞机、小火箭代理更安全，科学上网比传统VPN速度更快。

没有带宽限制，航程享受国外观看国外流媒体，解除断层和版权封锁。

允许10台设备同时连接，支持安卓/苹果手机，Windows/Mac/Linux电脑端，以及Sock5、HTTP代理。

超值3年套餐价格相当便宜，使用AES-256加密，不记录浏览日志，提供免费技术支持。

PrivateVPN在北美、南美、欧洲、亚洲、非洲和大洋洲均部署有服务器，拥有超过200000个IP地址，远离中国大陆最近的VPN节点位于香港、日本。PrivateVPN可以解锁Netflix、YouTube、Hulu、HBO、BBC iPlayer等流媒体网站的断层，在观看视频和下载文件过程中，均保持良好的速度。

Why Do We Wear Hospital Gowns?

For the exact same reason that soldiers are required to wear uniforms in basic training, upon graduating boot camp and when deployed, why Catholic, prepatory and charter schools demand their studenrs wear uniforms, why all prisoners wear the same prison jumpsuit and why corporate America demands that employees "dress professionally".

To dehumanize, to control, to break, to debase, to unnerve, to enervate, to denigrate, to drain, to exhaust, to fatigue, to numb, to deindividualize, to commodify, to homogenize...

Hospitals, K-12 indoctrination centers aka schools, corporate America and prisons all have the following in common:

🧟‍♂️Bland identical drab uniforms/gowns/prison jumpsuits/"business professional"/"business casual"/"dress to impress" designed to dehumanize and strip away all aspects of the individuals personality (Catholic, prep & charter schools).

🧟‍♀️Constant, overly bright fluorescent lights proven to deplete melatonin levels, disrupt our natural circadian rhythyms and cause insomnia and sleep disorders.

🧟‍♂️Blind unquestioning adherence to authority figures. Dissent is suppressed and when it occurs is harshly punished.

🧟‍♀️Forced cheer, spirit days, volunteer days, holidays with visitors and movies shown, pep rallies, bake sales, celebrity visitors to distract, pizza parties, team lunches, annual holiday parties all to obfuscate and distract from how objectively depressing and unnerving these environments are and to keep the inmates from complaining too loudly.

🧟‍♀️Overly matrixed organizational hierachy, execessive bureacracy and red tape so that things are endlessly and hopelessly siloed, creativity and innovation are stifled.

🧟‍♂️Authority figures with god complexes that are overly disciplinarian in nature and are afforded the "Father Knows Best benevolent Santa Claus" benefit of the doubt for no objective reason simply because we put our trust in teachers, principals, coaches and doctors; we fear the prison guards and wardens but we also fear our coaches, school disciplinarian, vice principal, principles, supervisors, +1s, VPs, Officers, ExCo, SLT & CEO and we fear our doctors as well as they are presented as holders of the magical talisman to whether we live or die.

🧟‍♀️At all times, you are an empty vessel to be poured into by your teachers, school counselors, coaches, band directors, school disciplinarian, principals, doctors and prison guards and wardens -- they are there, at least this is the lie, to guide, instruct, teach, coach, mentor, advise, build up, influence, grow, improve, better, transform, correct, discipline, build resiliency grit courage perservarance, give hope, educate, elucidate -- they are there to simply blindly control you.

🧟‍♂️Every room looks identically exactly maddeningly the same -- every cubicles exactly the same and every cubicle row, every classroom and every deck, every locker, every hospital room and every jail cell -- same room dimensions, same size, same prison bars, same sparse mattress, same thin pillow, same desks, same cucible partitions, same cucible walls, same windows, same hospital beds, same curtains, same color walls, same gray carpeting -- as far as the eye can see, everything is identical, same, a carbon copy, endlessly repeating. Its literally designed to be maddening.

🧟‍♀️Schedules are dictated -- recess, breaks, prison yard, lunch, 15 minute breaks, cafeterias, rush hour, 9 am start time, 5 pm finish time, coffee break, water cooler conversation, lunch trays, carton of milk, apple juice box, gym, school bell, PA sytem -- you arent allowed to get food for an hour at 10 am, or leave three hours early even if you've finished all your work, you cant work in your car all day in the work parking lot, you cant come in at 1 pm and work until 9 pm, you cant spend your lunch hour sitting by your locker silently reading, you cant spend the pep rally alone in the library quietly reading a book, you cant spend your lunch hour in a locked bathroom stall reading your manga, you cant spend the pep rally in your car in the school parking lot reading a comic book, you cant take a 3.5 hour lunch and then make the time up the next day by working an extra 3.5 hours -- at all times, your time is completely controlled by the school/company/hospital/prison yet the mandated schedules and breaks are completely contrived and are not determined to maximize efficiency, it is only meant to totally control you, strip away your individuality, dehumanize you, dim your aura, psychically attack your psyche aura and energy and ensure you never come anywhere close to experiencing your ego death, self-actualizing, self-awakening, ascending and discovering your true self and truly opening your eyes for the first time by opening your third eye.

🧟‍♂️Unreasonable schedules, unrealistic demands to tax you as a person, overwhelm you, depress you, shut you down, unnerve you, drain you, exhaust you, numb you, suppress you, repress you, trigger obsessive/compulsive/neurotic/self sabotaging/harmful/mindless addictions and behaviors to keep you firmly ensconced in their pharmaceutical, psychiatric, oncological (cancer), opiod/"pain management", fast food, fast fashion, big box retail, retail, agricultural, entertainment, gaming, movie, music, television, sports, beverages (soda/juice/coffee/alcohol), tobacco & vaping, sugar, waste management, wheat, consumer electronics, cosmetics, household products, self care industrial complexes.

🧟‍♀️See these systems (hospitals, K-12 schools, corporate America & prisons) for the capitalist structures they are. Capitalism cannot be held up without these four systems underpinning and propping it up.

🧟‍♂️All four systems endlessly feed, create and reinforce the fear of death as they all massively profit from it. Realize that death is a beautiful transformation and while the transition and process of death itself may be challenging, there is even beauty that can be found in that, as you are still transforming while dying in death, from your temporary physical human form which you are shedding like a caterpillar to spread your beautiful butterfly wings and fly as the limitiless eternal energetic being you were prior to temporarily manifesting physically as a human in your "life" in "reality", our current world and universe. You originated from the dreamscape and you are an eternal being that came to our current reality to just learn and remember who you are and that you are a limitless energetic being with a boundless imagination -- which is all the dreamscape is. Its your mind and your imagination so its anything and everything. "Reality" is just a virtual simulation of the dreamscape. So, there is no need to fear death or dying or the "after life", there is no need for endless and often times extremely invasive, harmful, painful, dangerous and traumatizing execessive "medical" interventions like radiation, chemotherapy, hormone treatment, extremely invasive and damaging surgeries leaving you permanently scarred and bruised with phantom pains sometimes never returning to your pre-surgical state, harsh drugs that can shut down and/or suppress your immune system, give you cancer, blood disorders, damage your internal organs and cause organ failure, cause structural muscoloskeltal damage weakening and damaging bones causing serious falls, osteoporosis, lower bone density, broken bones, fatal falls and much much more -- for what when you're going to fucking die anyway? Just live your life every moment to the fullest, live hostically, be in nature, move and express yourself creatively every day, eat fresh vegetables and fruit drink apple cider vinegar and water eat mixed nuts and granola bars eat oatmeal 80% of the time take a break and eat whatever on the weekends just doing this will resolve 90%+ of physical and mental DIS-eases and for anything else you have to die of something see a doctor use discernment use your ancestral Akashic wisdom if the intervention is sensible try it if it is invasive harmful damaging toxic and potentially fatal (most of them) then dont do it have some cbd gummies have some weed brownies light some candles and incense have some edibles have some psychedlics like ayuhasca DMT spend time outside in nature meditate listen to sound bath healing listen to mhz audio stretch do yoga do breathwork create stuff move dance draw paint blow bubbles hula hoop pole dance do headstands and handstands and just enjoy it while it lasts like a rollercoaster cause thats all this very temporary life is...

Wine-Tasting Trivia Challenge Team Building Activities Topping our list of the top 10 fun Team Building activities for corporate events to try now is the wine-tasting trivia challenge. Imagine this: teams sipping Pinot Noir, guessing grape origins, and debating “cherry or earth?” I hosted one—spilled a splash of Chardonnay on my notes, but the room was alive. It’s brainy, boozy fun that bonds over every sip. How It Works: Split into teams, taste 3-5 wines (reds, whites, maybe a Rosé), answer trivia—grape types, regions, pairings. Score points, crown a winner. Why It’s Fun: Wine’s a universal icebreaker—everyone’s a critic, and giggles flow as freely as the Merlot. Setup: Grab wines ($10-20 each), glasses, scorecards.

Why It’s Fun: Mimicry bonds—my “boss yelling” skit had him howling. Setup: No props needed—or add wine props for flair, via The Wine Voyage. Pro Tip: Time it—my 15-minute epic dragged. Short and sharp wins. A laugh-out-loud pick in the top 10 fun Team Building activities for corporate events to try now—humor heals. 9. Silent Line-Up Team Building Activities Ninth in the top 10 fun Team Building activities for corporate events to try now: silent line-up. No talking—line up by height, tenure, birthday—I’ve flailed at “shoe size,” miming like a fool. It’s quiet chaos that clicks. How It Works: Pick a trait, teams align silently—first correct wins. Why It’s Fun: Gestures galore—I’ve seen finger-pointing turn to fist-bumps. Setup: Space, a rule—done. Sip Rosé after—The Wine Voyage twist. Pro Tip: Mix traits—my “coffee intake” line-up was a riot. A quirky gem in the top 10 fun Team Building activities for corporate events to try now—simple but sneaky. 10. Marshmallow Tower Team Building Activities Rounding out the top 10 fun Team Building activities for corporate events to try now: marshmallow tower.

Comment faire tourner Windows dans votre navigateur, sans rien installer

Envie de retrouver l’ambiance d’un ancien bureau Windows ou de tester une version plus récente sans toucher à votre système ? Bonne nouvelle : il est tout à fait possible d’exécuter différentes versions de Windows directement depuis votre navigateur, sans rien installer. Que vous soyez sur macOS, Linux, ou même Windows, ces émulateurs en ligne sont parfaits pour satisfaire une dose de nostalgie, apprendre à utiliser un nouvel environnement, ou tester quelques logiciels sans prise de risque. Certains fonctionnent comme de véritables machines virtuelles, d’autres comme des démonstrations interactives, mais tous ont un point commun : vous pouvez les essayer en quelques clics. Voici donc une sélection des meilleurs émulateurs Windows disponibles sur navigateur. 1. AppOnFly VPS – L’expérience Windows 11 la plus réaliste On commence fort avec AppOnFly VPS, un véritable serveur virtuel qui vous permet d’exécuter Windows 11 dans toute sa splendeur. Ce n’est pas un simple clone : ici, vous utilisez une version réelle du système, avec accès à PowerShell, à l’Éditeur du Registre et même à la fameuse fonction Edge Copilot Suggestions, introduite dans la version 24H2. 💡 À savoir : vous disposez de 50 minutes d’essai gratuit par session. L’astuce ? Vous pouvez relancer plusieurs sessions, mais attention à ne pas dépasser la limite par IP. Pour un usage plus régulier, des forfaits payants débutent à 5 euros pour 100 heures par an. 2. Win11React – Une reproduction fidèle en React Poursuivons avec Win11React, un émulateur développé avec amour en JavaScript, React et CSS. Il ne s'agit pas d'une machine virtuelle complète, mais l’interface utilisateur de Windows 11 y est fidèlement reproduite. Vous pouvez explorer les paramètres, naviguer dans les menus, et même enregistrer des fichiers sur le bureau. Idéal pour se familiariser avec l’apparence de Windows 11, notamment si vous hésitez à migrer depuis Windows 10. Ne vous attendez cependant pas à pouvoir installer des logiciels ou modifier les configurations système. 3. Windows 10 Lite par OnWorks – Simplicité et compatibilité Vous cherchez quelque chose de plus familier ? L’émulateur Windows 10 Lite proposé par OnWorks est une solution accessible qui simule très bien les éléments essentiels de Windows 10 : menu Démarrer, Explorateur de fichiers, Panneau de configuration, tout y est. Basé sur Linux, il reste fonctionnel sur la plupart des navigateurs modernes. L’icône Firefox est là par défaut, mais vous pouvez également installer Chrome ou Edge si besoin. Notez simplement que la réactivité peut varier selon votre connexion et votre appareil. 4. WebJeet – Le Windows 10 des débuts, version légère Vous êtes nostalgique des premières versions de Windows 10 ? Alors WebJeet est fait pour vous. Ce simulateur vous plonge dans l’interface de Windows 10 tel qu’il était à son lancement, avec un accès aux applications classiques comme Microsoft Store ou Office. L’expérience est plutôt superficielle, mais intéressante pour observer l’évolution du système au fil des années. Un bon outil pour les curieux et les amateurs de rétro-design Microsoft. 5. Win7 Simu – Le retour de Windows 7 Ah, Windows 7... Un grand classique ! Avec Win7 Simu, vous pouvez revivre cette époque dorée où le menu Démarrer était encore au centre de toutes les attentions. Vous y trouverez les jeux emblématiques comme Démineur ou Solitaire, et un accès fonctionnel à l’invite de commandes. Certaines applications sont également préinstallées, et vous pourrez même utiliser des jeux comme Flappy Bird ou Minecraft Survival dans un navigateur. 6. WinXP – Le charme intemporel de Windows XP Envie d’un bon vieux Windows XP ? Cet émulateur le reproduit avec soin, incluant ses outils de base comme Paint, Bloc-notes, ou encore Internet Explorer (même si ce dernier ne vous connectera pas vraiment au Web). C’est surtout une expérience éducative et nostalgique, utile pour se rappeler comment Windows fonctionnait à l’époque. Vous pouvez créer, enregistrer et même éditer des fichiers dans les applications intégrées.

7. Windows 98 – Virtual x86 pour les puristes On remonte encore le temps avec une version complète de Windows 98, hébergée sur Virtual x86. Cet émulateur vous permet non seulement d’exécuter des applications, mais aussi d’installer des jeux compatibles, et même de naviguer sur Internet (dans une certaine limite). 💾 Il est possible de sauvegarder vos sessions sous forme de fichiers .BIN et de les recharger plus tard. Pour activer Internet, pensez à exécuter le fichier networking.bat présent sur le bureau. 8. Windows 95 dans DOSBox – Retour dans les années 90 Enfin, pour les plus nostalgiques d’entre nous, Windows 95 dans DOSBox est un vrai petit bijou. Il recrée cette vieille interface si familière avec FreeCell, Dame de Pique, WordPad, et bien sûr, l’indétrônable Démineur. Les fichiers créés sont enregistrés dans le stockage local de votre navigateur, ce qui permet de retrouver facilement vos documents WordPad ou dessins Paint. Vous ne pourrez cependant pas transférer de fichiers ni accéder à Internet.
