Hold The Horses, Daddy
I married a vegetive in order to save my father's business from going bankrupt, but I never imagined that the first thing he would want to do after waking up would be to obtain a divorce from me when I was pregnant with his triplets and left all by myself. While I took my three children back, t "Mommy, we're going to kiss that bastard's ass to payback for you,"

Alyssa's pov
The light from the sapphire chandelier cast a menacing reflection off of Caradoc's completely dark eyes. It was the same unsettling gaze that he'd cast onto everyone for years.
Asdin's face paled as he took a few shaky steps back.
As I walked near, my heart began to pound and my whole body began to shake.
I heard a sound like coughing.
Is it possible that Caradoc is awake?
I was interested in talking to him and taking a closer look, but I couldn't move since my feet were stuck to the ground. I saw a slight movement of Caradoc's eyeballs.
I was overcome with shock, and as a result, I ran away and headed for the stairway.
"Mrs. Rosalie! His pupils became much larger! " I cried.
Mrs. Rosalie sped up the stairs as she heard my voice coming from the hallway.
"Don't make a fuss please. He opens his eyes on a daily basis, this does not indicate that he is cognizant."
Mrs. Rosalie added, "Look, he's not reacting to anything we're saying right now."
She moaned as she continued to speak, saying, "The experts say that there is a very little possibility that someone who is in a vegetative state would wake up."
I duck my head for a while and was at a loss.
I said, "Am I allowed to keep the lights on throughout the night, I want to care for him?"
"You can miss. It's time to get ready for bed. You set tomorrow to visit the old house. I'll wake you up in the morning. Have a good sleep, call me if you need anything. "
"Okay, " I answered.
After Mrs. Rosalie had departed, I quickly took a bath and disrobed to my underwear and went to bed to get some shut-eye. As I sat next to Caradoc, my attention was riveted on the dashing features of his face.
I gestured with my hand in front of his face to get his attention.
"Caradoc, what exactly are you ruminating on here? "I said, stroking his hair strands on the sides of his forehead.
There was no response. If he was conscious, he would be the most handsome man in this world.
"Caradoc, we're married, and you're my husband. "
I was suddenly overcome with a sense of helplessness and despair. I could feel something moist trickling, and at first, I thought it was tears. This caused me to be surprised for a while, but as I wiped it across his face with anticipation, I discovered that it was perspiration. I became aware that the quilt may have caused him to overheat, so I moved to the side a little and wiped his forehead. Perhaps Rosalie was correct, and he was only exhibiting the typical responses of a human being, despite the fact that he was vegetative.
"Caradoc, I wish you awaken soon. You should see the ugly faces of your cousin, If that filthy, greasy thug Asdin manages to get his filthy, greasy claws on all of your money, you won't be able to die in peace. "
After that, Caradoc made a deliberate effort to shut his eyes. As I continued to gaze at him in disbelief, my heart started beating very fast in my chest.
I lay down close to him. Put one arm around him lightly.
I am now Mrs. Capell, wife the riches man in this world.
Once everyone knew I was Mrs. Capell, they stopped bothering me. What would be their attitude after Caradoc's passing?
Simply thinking about it caused a tightening in the middle of my chest. While Caradoc was still alive, I had to exploit my status as his wife to recover my losses. Whoever it was that had wronged me in the past must atone for their actions.
Mrs. Rondelle picked me up the following morning at 7 o'clock and drove me to the old home, where we went to see Caradoc's mother, Laura Capell.
As soon as I walked through the front entrance, I was able to see the whole Capell family gathered together in the living room. While chatting and sipping some tea. Some of them looked at me with eyes full of suspicion, some with eyes full of rage, and yet others with eyes full of curiosity. All sight made me uneasy.
Laura Capell was the only one in this room to see me with a happy look.
"Dear, there you are. "She gave me a warm hug.
"How was Caradoc?"She asked.
I thought back to Caradoc's handsome but still face, and with sympathy I said,
"He just sleeps. "
The others make a sarcastic laugh while covering their mouths with their hands. I am very aware that they are laughing at me for marrying a vegetative.
"Even though he was motionless, there was a great deal of heat emanating from him. "I add.
During the time that I was asleep, I made him my cushion, which was very comfortable to be leaned on.
She nods and smiles.
"Something special for you, Alyssa, a gift. "She continued, giving me a beautiful pink box as she said. "This car key is perfect for your temperament. Do you like it? "
I was sporting a Bentley key, worth five hundred million dollars.
"This is too pricy. Mom."
"Here, take that, it's a present from me to you."
"Do you like it?If you're my daughter in law, just take it. "
I did not have the guts to turn down the elderly lady in front of her complete family, so I graciously took the present she offered.
"I do. I can't thank you enough, mom."
"Yes, I am aware of how challenging this time is for you, Alyssa, and I am sorry for that. Right now, Caradoc is unable to behave kindly with you. "However, as Laura pointed out, there is a method for you to benefit from the situation as a whole. Because he was so focused on advancing his work, he seldom had never time to be in love. He was unable to produce a kid of his own ..." After listening to what Laura had to say, I instantly became more tense.
Did Laura ever think about the possibility of me carrying Caradoc's child?
"I'd like you to give Caradoc a baby and keep his bloodline continuing."
We were all utterly taken away by what had just occurred, including myself and everyone else in the room.
"Mother, Caradoc has been sick for a while,"
"It's probable that he doesn't have the ability to have children," said Mark Capell, who is Caradoc's younger brother.
In spite of the fact that Caradoc had not yet gone away, there was already a significant amount of interest in the dispersal of his fortune. Almost quickly, I came to the conclusion that my time spent living with this family would be marked by a great deal of challenges.
After a chuckle, Laura went on to say, "To be sure, I do have some tricks under my sleeve w. Caradoc must have a legitimate successor to his fortune. Alyssa and I have discussed the possibility of a kid."
At that very moment, everyone's eyes were fixed firmly on me.

I married a man haunted by the ghost of his dead son. I gave him a new son, Leo, and foolishly believed our love could heal his shattered past. But then the ghost came back to life.

I arrived at the mansion with nothing but the clothes on my back, expecting to work off my debt, but I quickly realized I was just inventory.
The air in the hallway was kept at a freezing temperature, a deliberate choice to preserve the art and remind girls like me that we were nothing more than furniture.
Inside the room, the sounds of a Hollywood starlet and a powerful man echoed through the walls, followed by the sight of discarded silk and cold, hard cash scattered across the marble floor.
When I accidentally stood in the way, I was tripped, mocked as trash, and left to bleed on the cold floor while the security guards watched with dead eyes.
Even when I begged for my passport, Chadwich Carey didn't see a human being; he saw a stain on his pristine, expensive reality that needed to be erased.
He crushed my fingers in the door, dragged me into the dark, and eventually used me to satisfy a drug-fueled hunger that no one else could touch, only to discard me back into the rain like garbage.
I sat in the freezing Bronx alley, shivering in his oversized shirt, realizing that he never intended to give me my freedom.
He thought he had broken me, that I was just another nameless girl to be silenced, but he was wrong.
I am not a box to be packed away or a hand to be severed.
He taught me that in this world, money and violence are the only languages that matter.
I will learn them both, and when I return, I won't be begging for my passport; I’ll be taking everything he owns.
