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.

After moving to Georgia with her family the last thing Alexandra Diego was expecting is to be in this kinda of environment where is so completely dry and lot of nature's surrounding the place.

It wasn't a problem to her though because she likes the view and every part of it but she is going to a new school with her best friend who had moved with them since her parents aren't always around. She had always live with them since she was a child and now see the Lawrenceville as her own family.

It a relief her best friend is with her but still she feels so uncomfortable and have this weird feelings since they drive into the street where their house is located.

"Here it is ladies"Diego, her father said as he drive into the beautiful storey house that actually suite with the environment.

"Wow"Jenny, her best friend giggled as she alighted.

"This is amazing"Grace, her mother said as she alight too and she is the only one left. She is confused right now.

This is the first time she is relocating to a new environment after all this year's.

"You aren't going sit there forever"Jenny said to her as she grab a big bag from the car booth and follow her parents inside. She look around through the car window before alighting.

The street is so dry and quiet and you will find it difficult to believe people actually live there.

"I guess everyone do things in low key"She take in a deep breathe before she grab a mini bag that contain her personal things.

She was about to move into the house when her eye met this guy that is standing at the window side of his room staring at her. She was expecting the guy to look away or something but he just focus his gaze at her so she wave at him trying to be nice but he got no reaction from him.

"That weird or is that how they do things here?"She shrug picking up her bag and she walk inside.

"Why are you standing there?"Jenny asks as she walk pass her to get more of the luggage.

"Nothing just looking around"She lied, raising her head up to check if the guy she couldn't picture his face well is still there but he was gone.

"Where is he?"She look around but quit because she felt so stupid for waving at the first place.

"Comm'n let go in"Jenny tap her back and she follow her into the house bag.

"OMG"her jaws are on the floor when she saw how beautiful the house is from the inside.

She is a bit discourage about the environment but she definitely like it inside more than outside. "Mom where is our room?"Jenny asks.

"Upstairs the first and second is for you two"Gregory replied and she dashed up the staircase immediately.

Dad arched his brows at Alexandra but she shrug and chuckled before excusing them, she join Jenny who is seen bouncing on the bed and yelling happily.

"Stop it already"She said looking around the room.

"I am taking this so you better go check the other one"Jenny defend immediately.

"Like seriously?"She roll her eye as she drop her stuff on the empty table.

"I am serious"She defend as she climb down from the bed.

"No! this my room and I am taking it"Alexandra defended.

"What? I came here before you"She disagree.

"No way I am taking this and that final"Alex stated as she unpack her book and arrange it on the table.

"You are such a cheat"She stick out his tongue as she walk out of the room.

"I don't give a fuck"She yelled, moving close the window she threw it apart and the sunlight peeped into the room.

She smiled loving the view from her window side until her eye landed on the guy by the window side sitting there with his headphones on, this time he wasn't looking at her but instead his phone.
