“ I'll marry you” Lauren Greene said the words in utter desperation. Getting married to a crippled man whom she had never seen until that day was not something she had ever imagined she would do but when her mother had a cardiac arrest and needed an emergency surgery, she didn't care. This was her only choice. Alexander Magnus lost his parents in a hit and run accident which left him crippled at the age of ten. He went abroad to study afterwards, returning after twenty years to take over his father's company. The only person he ever talked to was his childhood friend and saviour, Melissa McCarthy. He cherished and loved her with his whole heart but much to his dismay, she never showed up for their court wedding. There he met Lauren Greene. How will Lauren cope with the aftermath of her impulsive decision? What happens when Alexander demands for an heir as payment for her mother's surgery? If their marriage supposedly worked out, what happens when dark pasts begin to surface?
View MoreAlex woke up and checked the time. With the help of his personal maid, he showered and dressed up. He went to the dining and ate breakfast before he was taken to the car and the driver drove to the company. He was helped down, and Dan was already waiting for him.“Any lead?” Alex asked the moment he set his eyes on Dan.“No sir” Dan said, and Alex frowned. He wondered why it was taking so long for the McCarthy's family to respond to him. Even if it was a rejection, at least they should have sent something. Alex was wheeled to the meeting room where some investors were already waiting for him. Dan made sure to quickly brief him about the meeting before they got there. The door opened, and Alex frowned when he saw his cousin speaking with the investors who seemed to be enjoying his company. The opening of the door distracted them and they looked at who had entered. Jake grinned and stood up, then walked toward Alex. “Look who is here, you are late, they have been waiting for like
Lauren cleaned her tears and checked the time. She saw it was leading to the afternoon, and she knew the family would have gone to take care of their own businesses. So she left the hospital and boarded a cab back home with the intention of meeting Mrs McCarthy. Since she wasn't in the family meeting, she thought she could talk to her to see if she would help her.The cab stopped in front of the house, and Lauren ran inside. She stumbled on the maids.It looked like she was the one they had been waiting for. They stood at the kitchen door waiting and glaring at her. It seemed like they had planned what they would do to her. “Do you think you are some special kid all because you are an illegitimate child of McCarthy?” One of them asked. “What are you talking about? Lauren asked. “You refused to do your appointed work. Instead, you chose to run around skipping work.” Another maid said. “I was busy, and I always do my work, I never ask you to do them for me,” Lauren said and passed
Lauren, the daughter of Mr McCarthy, he is also Melissa's father.They both have the same father, that's why lauren is being treated like trash and as a maid in the house because they believed she was born out of wedlock and she and her mother were not worthy to be in their family.She knew of all these but didn't bother or try to leave because she knew they were the only ones that could help in paying for her mother's surgery. Her mother had been on the sick bed, and her condition was getting worse every day, with lauren not being able to pay the surgery money. She left the house late in the evening and went to the hospital her mum was admitted. Even though she was treated like a maid there, she was allowed to leave the house whenever she wanted.She was told that the doctor had asked of her, and she went straight to his office. She opened the door and greeted the doctor in charge, who quickly offered her a seat. “I am glad you are here, I was about to tell the nurse in charge of
Melissa opened her eyes to the sun shining in, she rolled off the side where the sun had set on her bed and groaned.She was just beginning to enjoy her sleep but unluckily for her, someone just ruined it. She lay on the bed with her eyes open boiling in anger. She sat up after some minutes with her hair all over her face, frowned, and used her hand to brush them backward. She was glaring at the maid in front of her, who had annoyed her already without knowing. “Did you do that on purpose?” Melissa asked. The maid opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.“What do you mean ma'am?” The maid managed to gather some meaningful words together. “You knew opening the curtain would make the sun enter my eyes, and you went ahead to do so.” Melissa asked. “I am sorry ma'am, I was only following your orders,” the maid said in fear. “My orders” Melissa MumbledShe stood up from the bed, glaring at the maid. The maid knew what was coming for her, so she shifted back a little
