Shielded By The Ruthless Military Boss
I was an intern nurse working exhausting shifts, yet my mother constantly forced me into blind dates with wealthy, arrogant men to secure our family's social standing. During a terrifying hospital lockdown, an assassin disguised as a doctor held a scalpel to my throat. I was almost killed, but a high-ranking military colonel threw his own body down a flight of concrete stairs to shield me. I survived with cuts and bruises, but when I went home, my mother didn't care about my near-death experience. She was only furious that I had rushed out on my blind date with Preston, a rich financial analyst. She forced me to meet him to apologize. When Preston grabbed my arm, bruised me, and mocked my attack as a pathetic lie, my mother still took his side. "Men get angry," she told me coldly. "It's your job not to provoke them. You will beg for his forgiveness, or you are no longer welcome in this house." I had narrowly escaped an assassin, yet my own family was willing to feed me to a monster just for a fat paycheck and neighborhood gossip. My heart went completely dead. So, when the intimidating Colonel appeared, offering me maximum military protection through a sudden marriage, I didn't hesitate. I walked back into my parents' house and calmly slapped a crisp marriage certificate onto the coffee table. "I won't be apologizing to Preston. I got married today."Ashley's heart thumped nonstop in her chest even when she was trying so hard to balance her emotions.
She clasped her hands together for a quick prayer but she was interrupted by the familiar footsteps from behind.
Tracing the family doctor to his seat but her attention was on the test result in his hand all through.
"Mrs.McCall..." The doctor said and paused.
Ashley's blood ran cold watching the doctor's neutral face, her breath wavered with the thought of getting ahead of herself. She thought that her husband's absence from home for a long time must have driven her to imagination.
"Congratulations Mrs.McCall, you're two weeks pregnant," the doctor said with a motivating smile as he handed over the test result on the table.
A very sweet feeling exploded in her chest followed by a sigh of relief, excitement spreading to every part of her body.
"Husband would be so proud of me!" she muttered and hurried to her feet.
"Please do not share this with anyone, I want to be the one to announce this good news"
She informed the doctor who responded with a bright smile.
"Easy steps Mrs.McCall," The concerned doctor said.
"Thank you" Cheerful Ashley commented loudly waving the text result behind her.
On getting to the parking lot, She smiled at the driver who had a confused look at the sudden change of her mood.
She settled down the seat and lowered the glass for intake of the fresh air.
What a perfect news to make the night! Ashley's husband has been so busy with work lately that he barely comes home.
From one business trip to another and finally, he was thoughtful enough to make their first wedding anniversary special by abandoning all his work and trips for her.
"What more can I ask for?" She giggled, rubbing her belly gently. She now has a little life growing in there.
Ashley's marriage was a dream come true for her and she's promised never to fuck it up by being useless to the family.
Her husband was her boss at work and a crush of many years. She was happy to know that he had liked her all along too and he didn't care about her background.
When everyone said to him back then not to marry a nobody like Ashley because she was adopted, he ignored them all for love.
Ashley had always thought that it was okay to settle for less considering how she was treated by her own family but Rhett became her haven and since then her family refused to support her.
They went as far as asking her to earn her keep while providing steadily for the stepsister, the real one. But in the house of a kind lover, she found hope.
"Ma'am, is everything okay?" The driver's voice came in and their eyes met immediately from the mirror.
"Is this how pregnancy works?" She mumbled and turned away. The news of the baby, barely some minutes old is already making her feel so overwhelmed.
With a soft sigh, she wiped the tears clinging to her lashes. Even though Ashley will forever remain the adopted daughter of the Roland family, her husband loves her to death.
....... Ashley wasted no time in preparing for dinner the moment she got home. As the Madame of the Great McCall household, she learned a lot about how things should be done. Especially house chores since she was forced to stop working after the wedding.
On the long golden table lies different delicacies of food prepared with love. A satisfied smile lit up her face watching the maids decorate the mansion with rose petals.
With romantic music playing on the low, it's all looking perfect.
"More surprise, more love" she uttered, eyes twinkling in overwhelming anticipation of her husband's reaction.
Ashley picked up the phone to check for her husband's messages but turns out that she was left on read with no reply.
A worried sigh escaped her lips and she decided to call his number but there was no answer. "But his flight should have landed by now" she wondered to herself.
Ashley ended up falling asleep while waiting then with a loud gasp, she woke up from the nightmare she just had.
Tired, she stood up and hurried downstairs to ask him but was told that he hadn't come back home.
"He's working so hard for my sake 'cause I have nothing to contribute to the family... "
she says with guilt and picks up the phone again.
Beep! Beep!
The line got disconnected from the other end twice.
