My Secret Husband Is a CEO

Carmen had been walking around in her room for minutes because she didn't understand why her parents would have asked to see her. She knew that most often, it was to reproach her for things but the way her half-sister, Célia, had said it, she understood that it was not an easy situation to understand. For her to understand, she had to go into the living room and that was the only thing to do to free her mind. We had never asked her opinion on anything and she didn't think it was a start.

“Luckily you are here my daughter. I’m glad you really understand that we need you,” Paula told him.

Her daughter ? It was the first time she had called him that and it didn't bode well. More often than not, it was just insults and contempt. She looked at her father who was sweating. Javier Rodriguez sweaty and panicked? This story didn't feel good.

“We all know that you are surprised that we asked you to come and we understand you Carmen but the situation is not to be taken lightly this time. You have to help us.”

Help ? Things had always been imposed on him in this family. No one had ever asked her about her birth and even her father, the only person with whom she had the same blood in the family. If they spoke kindly to her, it was certainly because they wanted her to give her life for one of them.

“We will run out of food in a while Carmen and we will all die.”

She appeared indifferent despite her father's soft and calm voice. The main people to benefit from the Rodriguez fortune were her half-sister and her mother, so she didn't see why she was going to panic about this.

“Don’t keep calm damn it Just because someone tries to be nice to you doesn't mean you'll grow wings. The situation requires sacrifice and the one we will have to sacrifice is you. It’s not death that awaits you but a kind of deliverance.”

She assimilated slowly because something told her that her father spoke with reserve, certainly because he did not want to rush her all of a sudden.

“The family business is bankrupt and we have an investor but in order for him to help us, he is asking in return for a marriage with one of my daughters.”

This was a trap, Carmen thought. If it was an investor capable of saving their company from ruin, that simply meant that it was a rich man that Célia should have married since she was the one who deserved everything that was beautiful in life and what's better than a billionaire husband. There was something fishy going on.
