The Alpha CEO’s Unloved Wife

Chapter one

Tears kept rolling down my cheeks, as I watched them wheel mom away into the emergency room, while the nurses kept us away from going with her.

Standing in front of the emergency room, and watching the doctors through the glass door, working hard to keep her alive, I felt so helpless, I wished there was something I can do to save her, I wish I can do something about it, but it seems that's the dream that'll never come through for me.

We've lived these whole years of our lives happily, with mom and dad, giving me all the love and attention in the world, they made sure that I lack nothing, they gave me all the happiness, which most parents are not capable of giving to their kids, and they've been the most important people in my life. Everything started three years ago, as mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. She's been frequenting different hospitals since then, to see if any doctor will be able to cure her, but none was ever able to.

She's been through a series of surgeries, but it only got worse at the end of it, and it hurts.

I felt an arm around my neck and tilted my head to check who it was, I was welcomed by the sad-looking dad, trying so much to put on a smile, as he whispered those words in my ear 'she'll be fine. As much as I want to believe him, as much as I want to keep my hope alive, I couldn't deny the fact that's standing in front of me, staring at me. I pray she pulls through this, I pray she fights for her life, as she always does, she can't possibly leave us all alone in this cruel world, right?

I stared at him for seconds, before I finally nodded my head, and turned my attention to look at the doctors through the door again. They kept doing what I don't know to mom, and I just wished I'm allowed in there, to be beside her.

After almost an hour, I heard the sound of a beeping machine, and I looked around, wondering where it was coming from, and that was when it dawned on me, that the sound was coming from the emergency room. My eyes almost popped out of their sockets, as they darted to the life-supporting machine, whose lines were almost parallel, meaning mom's life is at stake.

"Dad, do something! Mom is dying."I cried bitterly, as I tried forcing my way into the room, but dad held me back, assuring me that everything will be fine, but damn! I can see it with my eyes, nothing seems to be fine right now, mom is dying in there, and she needs me.

"Shhhhhh! Don't cry Karen, mom will be fine."Dad assured me, as he hugged me tightly. Even if he was trying to hide his pains, I could see through him, even if he was trying not to break down, I can see that he was bleeding inside.

My heart kept racing fast, as I watched through the door, while still in my dad's embrace. Mom is not going to die, right? She's going to stay with me, right?
