All Chapters of FORCED MARRIAGE: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

CARLOS (Tuesday afternoon)After the blood transfusion, a nurse wheeled Marato her room. I got her a private room and a private nurse to watch her condition every second. I rested in her room for a while to gain my strength and then went home to change, leaving her to the care of the private nurse, telling her to call me if anything happened.I went home and took a bath, and lay on my bed to rest for a few hours, but when I opened my eyes, the sun was already shining brightly. I check the time, and it's already two in the afternoon. I quickly take a bath and change my clothes, and run to my car."Sir, you haven't eaten yet," Helena called out. She's my help, and she has worked with me since the day I married my wife."I just buy food on the way," I replied and went inside my car and drove off. I stopped at the drive-thru and bought my food, and drove straight to the hospital.I went straight to Mara's room, and her nurse greeted me at the door."Good afternoon, sir.""How is she? An

CARLOS Babe, Please listen to me," Loren begged, sobbing."No, Grandpa is dying because of you. Ara almost dies because of you. So, all this time, Grandpa is right. You are a gold digger bitch who stays beside me because of money. All the cashed out in Grandpa's account, it's not Mara doing but you." He screamed and slapped her again." Loren bawled, kneeling in front of him."Jayson, Please don't do this.""Don't do this? Why, when you beat Grandpa, did you ever think to stop? Are you enjoying hurting my grandfather? Are you enjoying how Grandpa runs to the corner and stays there when he has a panic attack? I'm sure you are. You enjoy pulling his hair and seeing him in pain. You enjoy hitting him with a stick. Do you enjoy listening to his cry of pain? You are a psycho, crazy, a witch devil." Jayson cried."Yes, I do all those things because he doesn't like me. He always said he was against me, so I gave him the medicine to forget. I beat him because I hate him so much!!!" She scream

MARAIt's been an hour since my father left. Yes, I have a father, a very nice one. I'm happy and at the same time sad because I found out that the mother who I thought was the best mother in the whole world is the reason why I didn't see my birth mother. My mom loves me so much, and it never crossed my mind that she could do such a cruel thing to others. She is very kind to everyone and very soft-hearted, and I love her so much, and I'm a bit mad at myself because I couldn't get mad at her regardless of what she did to my real family. She fulfills the duty of my birth mother. She loves and cares for me dearly. She never laid a hand on me. Yes, sometimes she scolded me, but she had a reason, and she was the reason why my birth mother died.And Jayson is my childhood friend and is betrothed to me. Dad said he loves me, I'm happy to hear that, but I'm sure it was a child's admiration because the woman he loves now is Loren, and he is willing to disregard his grandfather's opinion for

JAYSON "Your grandpa, he doesn't have the will to wake up. Even though all his vital are improving, we cannot do anything if the patient doesn't intend to wake but pray and wait."Why would he do that? Doesn't he care for me anymore?" I asked."Mr. Fernandez, some patients do that because they have trauma during the time that they are awake, and once they are in a coma, they choose to stay like that, too afraid of what going happens once they wake up. Afraid to experience those traumatic incidents again. Maybe what Loren did to him caused him to have trauma." I took a deep breath, trying to hold back my tears, but it's still rolling down my face."Loren, she beat him when no one was looking. He got a panicked attack once in a while. He looks so scared, and only Mara can calm him. That woman is a monster; just because of money, she did all those things to Grandpa. I didn't suspect her even once because she was so gentle to Grandpa when I was around, but I didn't know she was a monster

JAYSON.I smiled when I opened my eyes to find Mara sleeping beside me. She was leaning her head on my chest with my arm wrapped around her waist "How she ended sleeping beside me? I feel my forehead. I am still a bit warm and weak but much better than earlier. I guess it's passed past lunch already, and I'm starving because I only drank the soup earlier. I haven't eaten since last night."Mara!! I softly shook her. I'm sure she hasn't eaten her lunch as well. "Mara!! Her eyes snapped open, and she quickly sat up."What happened? Do you feel uncomfortable? Are you in pain?" How do you feel?""A bit better. I'm starving." I weakly whispered. "Wait, I ask someone to bring food here." She stood up and went to the intercom, and asked for our food before she settled back on the edge of my bed. She feels my forehead, my face, and my neck."You still have a fever." She said and went into the bathroom. When she returned, she was carrying a small basin and a face towel. She put it on my bed
