Married to the loveless CEO
In a society where marriage has lost its true essence and has been distorted, reducing it to a transaction devoid of love and commitment, a mere agreement for personal benefits. Silvia Reyes found herself caught up in the chaos as she was about to be forced by her parents into marrying a man she despises. She was able to bail herself out of her dilemma as she offered a marriage of convenience to Davian Randell, who in turn needed it too to solve his dire situation. But life rarely goes as planned, does it? Will they find a way to reclaim love and commitment in their own lives, or will they succumb to the societal pressures that have tarnished the institution of marriage? Excerpt:- "If you think I'm gonna marry that man, then sorry, I'm not!" She said to her father. "You are, Silvia." Her father declared. "I have a man!" She said. "What?" Her parents chorused. "You have a man. You should have told us earlier instead of letting us go through all that trouble." Alan said. "We've been dating for some while now and he proposed to me recently and I accepted it." She showed them an engagement ring on her finger, which she bought before coming to the mansion. "It's beautiful. How come you weren't wearing it yesterday?" Her mother asked. "I didn't wear it yesterday." She answered simply. "Then why did you go through the trouble of attending the dinner date?, you could have just told us," Her mother added. "I wanted to see the man you were setting me up with. I was so angry because I knew I was taken already. I didn't want to tell you guys yet, I didn't want to introduce him to you guys till a couple of days time. You spoilt the surprise." Silvia explained. "Oh I see. So when can we meet this lucky man?, do we know him?" Alan said. "Uh-Uhm...no you don't. You'll meet him in a couple of days time, he's a really busy man." She almost shuttered. "Okay, dear. We'll be waiting." Her mother said. What has she done?, how was she going to get a man that will be willing to marry her in just a couple of days time.
Therapy
"It's only temporary, Davian. You sustained some fractures in your waist and spine regions, from the accident. But with much medical treatments and therapies, you will be walking again soon," Sentencia managed to continue.
Davian didn't respond, the other breathing aid was already removed and the pipe type was imputed into his nostrils to assist his breathing, though he could manage to breathe on his own but it was also in case of another hyperventilation episode.
Most patients from ghastly accidents tend to develop this but they slowly recover from it as they recover.
Silvia's breathing pipes had already been removed long ago and so as the bandage hand on her right hand, but the bandage on her head was still there.
"Where's my mom now? My... mom's body," Davian finally spoke.
"In the morgue," obviously.
"When...when can I see her?" he asked further.
"You need to recover first davian-"
