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.

Kidnapped

The gunshot could be heard again despite the inaudible state. It was being fired at Davian, two bullets pierced through his chest at his heart.

Davian's eyes went to his chest, his eyes came back to meet Silvia's as blood flowed out his mouth and he was down in the next second.

The indistinct sounds of screams could be heard in the background. Everything moved in a slow motion for Silvia. She dropped to her knees as she held Davian's head in tears. His eyes were already shut, Silvia screamed.

She screamed out of the awful nightmare as well as she sat up on her bed. She was panting heavily as she gasp for breath.

Was sort of a dream is this?

She could feel the tears at the corner of her eyes. Once she was calm, the first thought that came to her mind was him. Davian?

She quickly grabbed her phone, it was still 6:26pm. She was just taking a quick nap earlier before she started having the bad dream. This wasn't good. It wasn't good at all. Her dreams were like omens.
