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."This is probably the most annoying of all! Mom leaves and Dad’s other family arrives. I can't accept it! annoying too much!
"Mom, can you just stay here? I won't allow Celeste to be left here with Dad's new family. Maybe what will they do to Celeste," Hiro said, My older brother.
"I can handle myself Hiro, but I won't let Mom leave," I said calmy. It's just a little and I'm about to cry.
"It's good that you're leaving Celestine. I can't stand to be with you here. Don't worry I'll take care of your child, I'll take good care of them. I'm Cassandra," Someone suddenly spoke to us.
The heck dad's hook.
"Wow! I thought the maid threw away the garbage, why is there anything left here? And look, the garbage is breathing and talking now," I said sarcastically.
She ignored what I said and faced a woman who was not very tall and was also holding a cup of coffee.
"Btw this is my precious daughter, Cassidy," She said happily.
"How dare you talk to my mom like that ?!" Cassidy yelled at me.
The thickness of her face to shout at me? she's still brave huh?
"Oh she's your mom? Well She's really your mother. You know why? You have the same habits," I said sarcastically.
I didn't wait for what they would say and I pulled mom and hiro but I still couldn't get away from my peripheral vision that she would pour me the coffee she was holding. I immediately took the umbrella held by hiro and opened it and blocked it in front of Cassidy. I saw the shock on her face. Didn’t she expect that I would act faster than her? I just laughed in my mind.
I glared at Cassidy before finally getting in the car.
After i delivered Mom and Hiro to the airport i went straight home. Hiro will be studying in Dubai for sure and Mom will be able to stay in London for a long time. For sure a big change will happen especially I have a share in dad’s attention.
When I entered the kitchen I caught Cassidy leaning against the sink and drinking fresh milk. Wow? she's really drinking my fresh milk huh?
"You know Celeste, if I were you I'd just leave here. You know it's hard to live with two families," she suddenly spoke as if annoyed.
"Well I'm not you. Why didn't you leave? Isn't that your suggestion?" I answer her back. I saw the annoyance on her face again.
I just felt that gun was pointed at my senses. I didn't react because I'm not afraid of this. I have also become accustomed to always being targeted by a gun because I also trained to hold a gun for almost three months before becoming trained to it.
