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."Mom, aren't you afraid of retribution?" Nancy looked at the hideous middle-aged woman and said incredulously.
She was only 19 years old. Should her mother ask her to sleep with a retarded man for money!
Despite her protest, Mary tied Nancy up, sent her to the hotel, and forced her to sleep with that retarded man tonight!
She couldn't believe that this was her biological mother!
Mary fiercely pushed Nancy into a luxurious presidential suite. Inside the room, a man was biting his fingers, drooling and mumbling, "I see beauty, I want beauty..."
"Hey girl, stop gabbling." Mary said fiercely, "Parents make the final call. I ask you to marry Second Junior Master of Lake Family, and you do it. Tonight, you serve the master right, or face the consequences!"
Then her tone turned soft, and she threatened and coaxed, "Nancy, you know our family is poor. Although the Second Junior Master of Lake Family is retarded, he is born in a wealthy merchant family. If you sleep with him for one night and bear his seed, you will live a life free of care."
Nancy suddenly widened her beautiful eyes, "Mom is purchasing that great life. Lake Family must have given you a lot money so that you are willing to sell your daughter."
As her thought was seen through, Mary immediately pulled a long face.
Lake Family promised her 200 thousand yuan for sending Nancy there and another 300 thousand when the girl got pregnant!
A total of 500 thousand yuan! It was an enormous amount of money for a poor family. With the fortune, they could live a completely different life!
It was not a bad deal to marry Nancy to a retarded man in exchange for 500 thousand yuan!
All of a sudden, Mary raised her hand and slapped Nancy, "I'll say it one last time. Tonight, you serve the junior master of Lake Family right!"
Following her words, she slammed shut the door of the presidential suite.
In the room, five red fingerprints still lingered on the delicate cheek of the dazed woman, and a drop of crystal tear fell from her eye.
The mentally challenged man, around five feet in height, came up from behind and tugged at Nancy, "Beauty, sleep with me... sleep."
Despite her sadness, Nancy now only had one idea in her mind.
