Mr CEO Accidental Bride

y long legs did the job. Sadness engulfed me. I sat on the bench by the road and cried. “She’s the one!” “The groom has refuse to marry her because he caught her cheating” “He proposed to h

ze. “I’m pretty certain that you need this marriage very badly. If you miss out on this chance now, what makes you think that you’ll get another?” I had to admit that he was very convincing. He’s right. I desperately need this marriage. Truthfully, it’s probably more accurate. I will have a new home to live. I won’t have to see my stepmother and sister faces. I wouldn’t get to stay in the same roof with the same betrayal. Seconds ticked by as i stared at the man in front of me for a very long while. At long last, i squeezed out, “Are you a permanent resident here, in Suville City?” His lips curled up into a small smirk. “Yes.” Once again, i fell silent.. Oh Delilah! “Hasn’t your sole aim for the past years been to get married to a local resident as fast as you can? Now, the opportunity to do so is practically leaping into your arms!Why are you still hesitating?” I scolded myself. Conflicting emotions swirled within me. In the end, i bit my lip and nodded in agreement. “Alright, I agree.” The registration office was closed to where I sat. We only walked in together. “We won’t be having any children.” I was at a loss for words as he blurted out. “Why?” My brows furrowed at my sudden outburst. He stared at me eyes- wide. “Never mind!” I said immediately. “We’ll divorce three years later. I’ll give you a sum of money which will be enough for you to live the rest of your life. Is that okay with you?” He asked and I sadly nodded. “Alright.” Once we were inside, we first went to take pictures together. “Can’t you guys get close to each other and look sweet? Also, sir, please smile.” The cameraman said. I guessed he wasn’t satisfied by our post. An evident impatient look crossed his face. I immediately hooked my arm around his, then said with a smile, “His facial nerves have been damaged, so don’t force him anymore. Just let him be.” “What?” His mouth went agape and I smile again. He shot an icy glare at me but I still kept on wearing a cheery smile. “Just for the camera” I tiptoes and whispered into his ears. He froze but remained silent. After we were done taking pictures, we headed to the first floor to register our marriage. It was only when he took out his citizenship certificate that i finally learned his name—Zachary Shun Ten minutes later, the marriage certificates were issued. I felt a twinge of sadness but found this to be incredible at the same time. I was sad cause I actually thought I will get married to the man I really love. I dreamt of having the wedding of my dreams but here I am, married to a complete stranger. I clutched the marriage certificate in my hands. I felt as though i was floating on air as if everything had been nothing but a dream. Never had i ever thought that i would one day suddenly marry a man that I’d only met by chance. Perhaps this is fate? Lowering my eyes, i gazed at the photo of us sitting side by side. His expression was blank, while mine evidently displayed the unease and reservations I felt at that moment. Beneath the photo were both of our names. How absurd is it that I’ve only just come to learn of my new husband’s name?
