Married To A Marshall

Shielded By The Ruthless Military Boss

Mo Yufei

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."

I wiggled my butt staring at the TV as Javier played on.

** If our love was a story book, we would meet on the very first page.

**The last chapter would be about how... I'm thankful for the life we made.

**And if we had babies they would have your eyes, I would fall deeper watching you give you life.

** You don't even know how very special you are......

**You leave me breathless..... you're everything good in my life

**You leave me breathless.... I still can't believe that you're mine.....

I sang at the top of my voice. The song wasn't his but his remix was so much better. I shook my butt wishing and praying that one day he would sing this very song to me.

Okay, a little introduction. I'm Leah Thompson, a graduate from one of the not so prestigious universities of California. I work as a waitress at a restaurant and I live with my roommate so the rent can be split in half. My parents died when I was little, I wasn't so lucky to get adopted at the orphanage so I left when I was 18.

Luckily, I was able to go to college so now I'm 22, one of the working class ladies. Speaking of my roommate....

"Kyla...." I yell at the top of my voice.

"Are you done idolising your idol, your voice sounds like a broken record." She spat out playfully. I chuckle in response before giving her the finger.

"Am already late for work. I'll see you later."

I grab my bag before leaving the house inhaling the fresh scent of a new day.

"I have a good feeling about today. It's going to be wonderful."

"I asked for a medium sized soda, not a big sized. What if I'm too bloated to sing huh! Get lost, you're fired!"

I yell at his face, I drop the soda on the floor and turn away angrily.

"Incompetent fools" I hissed a little too loudly and my manager walked in.

"Javier, that has to be the second one you've lost this week. You need to be patient."

"I hate clumsy people, it's not my fault they are all incompetent."

I focused on what I was doing and he shook his head.

"Alright, have you thought about what I proposed?"

"Tom, you gave me a choice between my music and my single life. Besides, marriage doesn't mean I can't screw whomever I want so what did you think I'd pick."

I say sarcastically.
