Married To My Ex-Fiancé's Silent Uncle
Twenty minutes before the "Wedding of the Century" at The Plaza, I stood outside the Presidential Suite in a fifty-thousand-dollar Vera Wang gown. I was the girl from a West Virginia trailer park about to marry Hugh Maxwell, the golden heir to a billion-dollar defense empire. I pushed the door open only to find Hugh pinned against the bed with my own stepsister, Floy. She was wearing my bridal diamond necklace, and the sounds of their laughter scraped against my eardrums like sandpaper. I didn't scream; I listened as Hugh grunted that once the wedding was over and the trust fund unlocked, he'd dump "that hillbilly trash" on a bus back to the mountains. They weren't just cheating; they were planning to steal my family's land deeds and leave me with nothing. When I set off the sprinklers and exposed their naked bodies to the paparazzi, the Maxwell family didn't apologize. They called me a "greedy peasant" and threatened to ruin my life unless I signed a new deal to save their crashing stock. I realized then that I was never a bride to them. I was a transaction, a rounding error in a ledger to be used and discarded. They thought my poverty made me weak and my silence made me a victim. "If we don't have a marriage certificate by midnight, the bank freezes thirty percent of our liquidity," their lawyer warned. So, I gave them exactly what they wanted. I used a loophole in their hundred-year-old family covenant and married the only other direct heir available. I didn't marry Hugh. I walked into the ICU and married his uncle, Fleet Maxwell-the legendary war hero who had been in a vegetative state for months. Now, I am the matriarch of the Maxwell dynasty. I've suspended Hugh's executive powers, exiled my mother-in-law to the Swiss Alps, and taken control of the family vault. They think I'm just a gold-digger waiting for a "corpse" to die so I can collect a fifty-million-dollar widow's payout. But last night, as I lay beside my comatose husband, the man they called a vegetable gripped my hand back.Location: New York
Laila sat in her living room, eating a large hamburger
"Um.. yeah, this is a good hamburger"
She said after eating a bite
"Oh my goodness, I ought to be on diet and I'm here eating this hamburger"
She stared and smiled
"Oh well"
She took another bite
Immediately, she heard a door open and she knew who it was. Quickly, she hid the hamburger under her pillow on the couch
"Hey babe"
A guy entered and smiled at her
"Hey sweetheart"
She said sitting on the couch
"How are you?"
He said after kissing her
"I'm good and you?"
She asked but didn't get an answer instead she got a frown
"What's wrong?"
"Did you eat a hamburger?"
He asked and she widened in shock
"What!! Not"
She denied
"Really?"
He moved close to her
"Yes"
"Don't lie to me, your mouth taste like a hamburger, now spill it"
"Fine, I'm sorry"
She said bringing out the food she hid under the pillow
"Laila, you know very well you ought to be on diet, you have a modeling job in the next few days"
"I know, but I can't stand eating...
"Laila, if you want to get the job, you have to lose weight"
"But I'm perfectly okay"
"You need to look séxy, I'm doing this for your sake, my mom is the owner of the company and I volunteered you to model her designs"
"I know Adam, I'm sorry baby"
She said and hugged him
Adam smiled before answering
"Nah, it's okay"
"Good, since you are here, we can both go out"
She smiled
"Um...I came here to have fun with you indoors"
He caressed her hair
"I know but I'm in the mood to go out, don't you think?"
"Um..no, I'm in the mood to stay with you, let's have fun here"
"Adam!!"
She whined
"Laila!!"
He did the same and smiled just to tease her
She gave him adorable puppy dog eyes
"Please baby"
"I'm not falling for that again"
He ignored her looks
"Pretty please"
"No, I want to stay here with you"
"Whatever"
Laila said angrily and avoided his looks
Adam rolled his eyes and stared at her
"Fine, where do you want to go to?"
Laila smiled and turned back to him
"Let's go to the beach"
"Beach?"
He arched
"Yes, it's been long since I have gone there, this is summertime so we should enjoy it"
"Okay, we will both go"
He smiled...
"After our exercise"
She stared at him confusedly
"What exercise?"
He claimed for her lips and smiled
"You know the exercise I'm talking about?"
He whispered caressing her body

Both Laila and Adam got to the beach as promised, Adam drove her there but unfortunately, no one was on the beach
"Oh no, we are the only ones here"
Laila said
"So what? It's no big deal"
"No, it's will be super boring, let's leave''
"Not, I drove for a long time and since we are here, let's have fun"
"Okay"
She said softly

15 minutes later
"I'm gonna go take a dive into the water"
Laila said
"Sure.....um.... have fun"
Adam replied staring at his phone
Immediately Laila put on her bikini and dived into the water, she swam from one wave to another
She decided to go deep into the water, she entered and swam inside the water but immediately she got out running towards Adam
"Adam! Adam!!"
She yelled running towards him
"Yes baby"
