Married To My Ex-Fiancé's Silent Uncle

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.

In the mansion, Wendy, with one hand on her swollen belly, asked a maid anxiously, "Have you gotten any news from Your Highness?"

"Your Highness, His Highness said that he would do his best to help you solve the problem of Qin Mansion. He wanted Your Highness to stay at home and wait for the delivery." The maid Lucy glanced her hand, which was already pale from the grasping by Wendy, and a dash of displeasure flashed through her eyes. Disappointed, she withdrew her hand, and Wendy almost fell to the ground.

"Watch out, Your Highness!" Lucy held Wendy with one hand, and a smug smile flashed across her eyes. From now on, you are not Your Highness, and she will no longer be a slave, but a concubine of this mansion.

Thinking of this, Lucy burst into laughter. Thinking of her wonderful and grand day, she felt all her efforts over the years were worthwhile.

"Lucy, where is Judy? Why haven't I seen Judy these days?" Wendy asked Judy to inquire about His Highness's whereabouts, but Judy hadn't come back. Wendy wondered how her grandpa and other clans were doing, and if His Highness had begged the imperial edict from the Emperor, which meant that he had saved her grandpa's family?

"Judy is helping them. She'll probably be back today." Lucy grinned evilly. "I wonder how Qin Mansion is. Now Your Highness has been busy running around for the Qin family. He should has been very tired."

"Yes he is." Wendy sat down slowly. Jack was her husband, and was the first son of Prince Song. Although he was conferred by the Emperor as Royal Highness, he had no money and status. Jack's fame and fortune were closely related to Wendy.

Jack was a son of a concubine of Song Mansion. Although the heir to Song Mansion was not granted a younger son, the eldest son of a concubine could not get anything else except the title of a Royal Highness. Jack's achievement had something to do with Wendy's family, Qin Mansion.

The Qin family was a military general's family, but only had one son and a daughter. Their son was good. He was well-known in the battlefield, and later took over the position of his father Lord Qin. Their daughter was also talented and married the prime minister. Unfortunately, this prime minister's wife died in a big fire when her daughter Wendy was 14 years old.

Therefore, the Qin family had treated Wendy very well. Although Qin family didn’t think that Jack was an ideal grandson-in-law, they allowed him into the army for the sake of their beloved granddaughter. With the support of the Qin family, Jack won the fame of today.

"By the way, Lucy, where is Alice? How is she doing recently?" Wendy asked again. Thinking of her younger sister, she couldn't help but shed tears. Alice was also a poor woman. After getting married for three years, her husband died, and her mother-in-law was a mighty woman. She swore Alice for cursing her son. Since Alice lived a hard life, Wendy let her sister live with her together.

A vicious light flashed in Lucy's eyes. Lady Alice, was very good. She was now engaged to His Highness in the antechamber. You will lose your position soon.

"Lady Alice has been very busy recently."

"Really? It's all my fault." Fondling her swollen belly, Wendy said, "If I didn't get pregnant, I won't trouble Alice to do concubine work for me."

Lucy looked at Wendy with disdain. What a stupid and hopeless woman! Lady Alice did the concubine work was not for you, but for herself. Only in this way could she be the lawful wife of His Highness!

"Lady!" Suddenly, a figure broke into TY Boudoir. Wendy paused for a moment, and said, "Lucy, I think Judy is back."

When I called my husband while trapped in a kidnapper's warehouse, he laughed. "Stop faking," he said, "my delicate mistress needs her sleep." He hung up. I signed the divorce papers drenched in my own blood, giving up everything just to escape the monster I married. His mother threw a broken umbrella at me in the rain. I had nothing-no money, no identity, no hope. But the moment I turned away, eight black Escalades encircled the street. A man in a tailored suit stepped out of a Rolls-Royce, shielding me with an umbrella. In his hand was a DNA test-and twenty-three years of relentless search. "Your last name isn't Smith," he said, wiping blood from my wrist with his handkerchief. "It's Wilder. The Wilder family. And the man who left you to die?" He smiled, icy. "He owes us nine billion dollars."
