Married To My Ex-Fiancé's Silent Uncle

Ming Yue

Twenty minutes before the "Wedding of the Century" at The Plaza, I stood outside the Presidential Suite in a fifty-thousand-dollar Vera Wang gown. I was the girl from a West Virginia trailer park about to marry Hugh Maxwell, the golden heir to a billion-dollar defense empire. I pushed the door open only to find Hugh pinned against the bed with my own stepsister, Floy. She was wearing my bridal diamond necklace, and the sounds of their laughter scraped against my eardrums like sandpaper. I didn't scream; I listened as Hugh grunted that once the wedding was over and the trust fund unlocked, he'd dump "that hillbilly trash" on a bus back to the mountains. They weren't just cheating; they were planning to steal my family's land deeds and leave me with nothing. When I set off the sprinklers and exposed their naked bodies to the paparazzi, the Maxwell family didn't apologize. They called me a "greedy peasant" and threatened to ruin my life unless I signed a new deal to save their crashing stock. I realized then that I was never a bride to them. I was a transaction, a rounding error in a ledger to be used and discarded. They thought my poverty made me weak and my silence made me a victim. "If we don't have a marriage certificate by midnight, the bank freezes thirty percent of our liquidity," their lawyer warned. So, I gave them exactly what they wanted. I used a loophole in their hundred-year-old family covenant and married the only other direct heir available. I didn't marry Hugh. I walked into the ICU and married his uncle, Fleet Maxwell-the legendary war hero who had been in a vegetative state for months. Now, I am the matriarch of the Maxwell dynasty. I've suspended Hugh's executive powers, exiled my mother-in-law to the Swiss Alps, and taken control of the family vault. They think I'm just a gold-digger waiting for a "corpse" to die so I can collect a fifty-million-dollar widow's payout. But last night, as I lay beside my comatose husband, the man they called a vegetable gripped my hand back.

On my signal, one, two, three…and a gun shots was fired against the enemy. After a few minutes there was peace, and the only men standing was headed by a woman. Queen! You are amazing!

But nobody knew and see her because she wanted a peaceful life. Every time they will face an enemy she will disguise herself as queen, during normal day she is just a typical student and community worker.

Alex was busy doing her job as room attendant in Lee Mansion Hotel. She is working here 5 days a week. Her job is normally to keep all the rooms neat and tidy for the guest. Since it is in Paris, quality and service are the name of the game. Today, was just a normal day for her except that one of her colleagues was sick, she has to replace her in the Public Area. There is an on-going activity in the hotel which is attended by 800 people around the world. At first, she wanted to decline her boss because there might be someone who knew her. But because her boss was so kind to her she accepted the job anyway, just for today.

While she is doing her job, 3 children are playing in the area and it cause a lot of worry for her because first, the area they were playing at she just cleaned it, second, they might meet an accident because the floor is slippery and third, they were so naughty. Annoyed Alex approach the kids but she hide her annoyance

She approach the girl. What is your name swettie? Ask Alex

The girl stared at her and smile. I am Julianna. Wow, you have a beautiful name, complimented by Alex. She also asked the other 2 boys which replied to her their names Justin and Jarred.

They did not even obey him when he is talking to them. In the couch, the 3 kids and Alex are discussing something, curious of what she is telling to them, the man hide in one corner and attentively listening to what she is telling.

"Justin, how old are you"?

"I am 6 years old and you Jarred, I am 8 years old, " Replied the 2 boys.

"See, you are older than Juliana and yet you both are not setting a good example to her. You should be the one who is taking care of her and become her idol. Big brothers are like heroes.
