Synopsis: Daniel Lawrence is a billionaire CEO. He could live the life he wants but, instead, gets stuck in a forced marriage with a mute woman named Lydia. He gave up on their relationship even before it started, while Lydia does her best to keep it afloat. Eventually, she realizes their marriage is beyond saving and files for divorce. Two years later, he scolds her for giving up on him and their son.
"His Exclusive Silent Bride" revolves around a forced marriage between an arrogant Billionaire and a seemingly "simpleton" girl who also happens to be mute.
Arranged marriages are far from common in this day and age. Despite this state of affairs, many modern marriages keep falling apart, probably due to couples prioritizing fleeting moments of intense passion rather than acknowledging the effects of prolonged cohabitation. A relationship that begins with peak energy levels can only dwindle over time.
While the opposite is not necessarily the case with arranged marriages, the mere force of habit may well be sufficient to turn an initially hostile marriage into a beautiful love-filled union, especially when kids are involved.
For the purposes of this review, we'll focus our attention on the two protagonists in this page-turner: Lydia and Danie.
Lydia Andrews
Lydia embodies the archetype of a resilient woman capable of enduring humiliation, but only to an extent.
Her family forced her to marry Daniel against her will, irrespective of her own desires and interests. In spite of this, she insisted on her pursuit of happiness and, consequently, made genuine efforts to salvage the ill-conceived marriage, even as she recognized she was swimming against a proverbial tsunami. In addition, she was mute, complicating matters further.
Daniel Lawrence
Daniel, an unhappy CEO, also fell victim to the aforementioned forced marriage due to family pressure. He had to secure an heir for the Lawrence household and protect his business interests.
Whereas Lydia was generally kind and humble, Daniel was very haughty and prideful. He would often marginalize Lydia, refusing to acknowledge her true worth. Little did he know he would end up in a fierce battle to win her back.
"His Exclusive Silent Bride" is told entirely by an outsider, an unknown narrator witnessing and relating events with an exquisite amount of detail.
The novel begins with an exhaustive description of Lydia's relationship with Daniel. The couple had a kid named Aidan, who was just learning to speak at that moment. The fact that she could not participate in her son's education made Lydia feel extremely saddened.
The couple lived in the Lawrence Residence until Aidan was born. The Lawrence family was exceedingly fond of Aidan but showed disdain towards the mother because, in their eyes, she cheated her way into Daniel's life.
In reality, the events leading up to the marriage were part of a ploy devised by Lydia's brother, who would do anything to get the Andrews family out of "debt prison." He arranged for Lydia and Daniel to sleep together and then went on to expose their intercourse to the press. Lydia subsequently got pregnant with Daniel's child, bringing disrepute to the Lawrence family and forcing Daniel to take her as his lawfully wedded wife.
Lydia was all but happy with this turn of events, but she caved into the pressure and accepted the marriage proposal.
It was evident that Lydia and Daniel's relationship, which started off already on the wrong foot, would not be "roses and candy" moving forward. Daniel was reluctant to see Lydia as anything other than his son's mother and would resort to extramarital affairs to satisfy his libido.
Lydia, knowing that the odds of winning Daniel's heart were close to none, decided to file for divorce. She accepted the fact she would never be Daniel's "exclusive bride," no matter what she did. After the divorce was settled, Daniel grew resentful of Lydia for what she did. At the same time, he'd start falling in love with her.
Two years after the fact, he met with her. Upon seeing her, he pushed her against the wall and, in a fit of rage, asked her why she abandoned him and their son (to her surprise).
In chapter 14, Lydia gets compliments from a man while sitting on a bench with Aidan cradled in her arms. This interaction helps boost Lydia's morale and ignites Daniel's jealousy.
In chapter 84, Lydia punches Daniel in the chest after being overwhelmed by intense humiliation. It portrays Lydia in one of her angriest moments.
In chapters 297 through 301, Daniel is befuddled by the sudden realization that he's deeply in love with Lydia, and his attitude towards her shifts going forward.
The novel is written in prose, though the (anonymous) author doesn't skimp on using metaphors. At the same time, the language is straightforward and doesn't indulge in filler and blabber. Moreover, though readers could expect a few grammar glitches and typos, these are not immersion-breaking.
"His Exclusive Silent Bride" checks many boxes. While not devoid of flaws, it gifts readers with awe-inspiring and well-developed characters, an aptly-paced story, and an intriguing premise.
As it stands, "His Exclusive Silent Bride" is a treat for lovers of CEO/Billionaire stories and totally worth checking out!
