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."Look who's here!" I announced my arrival and stepped into what I assumed was the bride's room.
However my smile wavered away as soon as I saw the sight of the room and a weeping Lindsay, my dear friend, in the middle of it.
A worried frown occupied her face when she first looked toward the direction I walked in from, but soon recovered when she realized that it was me.
"Lindsay, what's wrong?" I asked as I rushed to her. Her shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.
"I'm so glad you came," Lindsay spoke through her wobbling lips. "I really needed you."
"Tell me what the matter is." I spoke impatiently. "And why is there no one here? And where is the wedding happening?"
"In the backyard." She wobbled. "Skylar, I don't want to get married."
I was not surprised.
When she called me a couple of weeks ago saying she was going to get married to someone, I was taken aback. It came out of nowhere, and I could decipher from the tone of her voice that she wasn't happy with it.
I was aware that Lindsay's father has a better say in her matters pertaining to her personal life than she does. Everything was a matter of business to him and Lindsay has warned me several years ago that she would have to marry somebody her father chooses for her. And worst of all, that she has very little choice in the matter, if not nothing.
"I begged my father not to do this, I told him I was in love with someone else. That's why he called for the wedding early." She said, wiping her eyes with her hands. "Skylar, I don't love him. He isn't the one for me. I love someone else."
"Lindsay," I said, trying to cool her down. "If you stay here any longer, people will come looking for you. So it's better if you call your father and explain it to him before things get out of hand."
"I'm not going out there." She said, removing my hands from her shoulders. "I'm not going to get married to someone I don't love."
"I'm not asking you to get married. I'm asking you to discuss it with-"
"I'm going to run away."
My jaw almost dropped on the floor when she said that. "What?"
"I don't have a choice." She said, "Please Skylar, you need to help me."
"I can't let you make a mistake you'll regret for life." I said, trying to shake some sense into her.
"I'm not going to regret it."
"You will." I said. "Do you think running away solves the problem? It's just a temporary escape!"
"Skylar, I'm already in love with someone else. Do you think my father will listen to the end of it?
