Getting Married To The Infamous Heir

"Kaia, you have to get married to him, no matter what, or else, your mom won't be treated," Madison threatened as she watched Kaia struggle with her emotions. She could see the tears in her eyes and she felt pleased with herself. Kaia glanced at the windows and she could see her mom connected to various equipments just for her to breath and stay alive and she felt suffocated deep within. She had no power and she had never felt so hurt in her entire life. "Fine, I would marry him in your stead," Kaia answered after thinking thoroughly about it. This was the only way her mom could be saved. She couldn't retract her promise as this was what was best for her mom. She just had to do this. "Perfect, you just made the right decision," Madison replied with a smug smile. She just got rid of that old man and he was Kaia's burden now. She wouldn't care about him anymore. Kaia Benjamin is the second daughter of the head of the Benjamin's but she was always treated as an outcast due to the fact that her mom was a lowly maid, impregnated during a drunken night between her and Kaia's father. Kaia had to become a stand-in bride for her sister and who she was getting married to, she had no idea. She only knew she had to get married so as to save her mom from the illness which troubled her and could take her life away.

Chapter 23: Charles Finds Out!

She would give everything in her just to find out who's the person against her. As it stands right now, she was totally clueless on what to do.

"Are you telling me you are giving up?" Tina asked completely speechless. Well, this wasn't the daughter she raised. She wondered what was wrong with her.

"As it stands now mom, there's nothing I can do, I guess I have to look for another way," Madison said with a sad smile.

Tina looked at her daughter and sighed. She was going to help her daughter. Her daughter wasn't going to give up on her career just for a mere threat.

"Alright Madison, if that's what you want to do, I won't be against you," she said and Madison smiled, glad that her mom was with her.

"So, I want to know, what was your dad's reaction when he found out that Keira wasn't in the hospital?" Tina asked.

Though it seemed like she didn't care, she was nervous to know his reaction. She might sometimes act like she didn't care, but there was no denying that she still felt something for him.

"What else? He was furious and also wanted to go in search of her," Madison replied. Thinking back to the way her dad behaved yesterday, she was totally annoyed.

"It's fine, he did like her, but why did he come back home?" Tina acted like she didn't care about him wanting to go in search of Keira but she was disappointed, very disappointed though it didn't show on her face.

"I threatened him with the company, he loves the company so much and grandpa is the one funding it, so of course, he dared not do what he wanted to do," Madison said proudly as she flipped her hair causing her mom to chuckle.

"I have something to say Madison, your grandpa is actually aware of his infidelity," Tina announced which caused Madison to be shocked.

"But how?" She asked as she stared at her mom with wide eyes. She was curious to know what her mom did which caused her grandfather to still invest heavily in the company.

"What did you do mom?" Madison asked. She knew her mom was quite cunning, after all, she got her character from her.

"He only just found out two years ago," Tina said with a smile as she recalled how her dad was furious when she told him the truth.

He had wanted her to file for a divorce and cut down the investments in Charles' company but Tina was against it.

Call her blind in love, she won't disagree with you. Even after everything Charles did, she found it hard to hate him.

"How then did you convince grandfather to still heavily fund the company?" This was the most pressing question on Madison's mind.

"Probably because every projects belongs to my family, the company is dad's own already but Charles isn't aware of that and it will continue to stay that way," Tina replied to her as a smirk formed on Madison's face.

"So my company doesn't belong to me anymore?" Charles' voice sounded from the door causing the two ladies to snap their heads towards him at the same time in shock. They were not expecting him to find out and definitely not in this way.

**Cole's Mansion**

Kaia stirred slightly on the bed. She suddenly opened her eyes as she sat up immediately. Her heart was palpitating and she held her chest as she took deep breaths in..

She looked around the room and her face fell. She didn't find Cole in the room.

'What happened to me?' She questioned herself. She frowned as she recollected what had transpired before she fell unconscious.

'Why did I see a younger version of myself and Cole?' She questioned once more. All the mysteries were causing her severe headaches and the only thing she wanted was to find out the truth.

"You are awake, I brought breakfast for you," Kaia was disappointed seeing that it wasn't the person she was waiting for.

It was Chelsea who opened the door and she was with her breakfast. It was then it dawned on Kaia that she hadn't had breakfast.

"I am not the person you are expecting sadly," Chelsea was able to decipher the look on her face which caused Kaia to feel embarrassed.

"What do you mean by that?" Kaia asked, not willing to be made fun of.

"The big boss has left for work," Chelsea answered the question which wasn't asked but was obvious.

"Left for work? He didn't even wait for me to regain consciousness," Kaia mumbled but loud enough for Chelsea to hear.

"Don't get big boss wrong, he didn't even want to leave for the office but I think he got an urgent call and he has no choice but to leave the house," Chelsea hurriedly explained to her.

She didn't want Kaia to have a bad impression of Cole or it will be too hard to bring the two together. She wanted to see mini versions of couple running around soon.

"Ohh, I'm hungry," Kaia suddenly said and Chelsea smiled. It was good for her to have her lunch so she could regain her strength.

**Cole's Office**

"Read the reports to me," in a very modern office, Cole sat at the top seat as he was surrounded by his subordinates who seated around him.

Melvin stood behind his seat as he watched with proud eyes. His friend was doing well and it was only a matter of time before the old fogeys present in this conference room will get what's coming to them.

The subordinate who was asked to read the reports nervously swallowed. He didn't dare to read what he had in his hands but he was caught between the devil and the red sea.

If he doesn't read, he will be in trouble. If he still ends up reading, he's still going to end up in trouble.

Beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead as he watched Cole wait for him. Cole's fingers were tapping rapidly on the table and that was a signal that he was getting annoyed as time passed.

"I'm waiting," his voice rung out in the entire conference room and it even echoed. The others visibly shook as they watched him remain silent once more. Him being silent is just the calm before the storm.
