My Contract Marriage With The Rude CEO

Arianna’s POV “Let go off me Ethan!!” I scream out loud as the anger in me grew by each passing minute. “Was I more angered than scared?” I wondered in between my struggle to let myself out. “You know you can do better than keep struggling with me till eternity, my sweet angel….” Ethan says into my ears as his breath gingerly caressed the nape of my neck. .. but I continued kicking back. Why wouldn’t he just let me go?? “Let me take care of you…. Let me take all your burdens away… Even if not for yourself, how about you do this for your mother’s sake. Remember she needs to get treatment as soon as possible...” he continued with an evil smirk as he held me against the wall leaving no space for me to get out of his grip. Mom… Was there any other way I could help her?? “What if this was the only way to save her,” I pondered for a minute. No, Arianna!! This was wrong, even mom would be angry if you go against your morals just to save her. Ethan was a married man!! With this new resolve hitting me, I kicked at his crouch with full force when I saw the opportunity, “Never Ethan!! Get away from me”. I immediately rushed out of his grip and dash towards the door as I see him wince in pain. “Perfect!!!” I smile in victory. I got him in the right place. “Arrrgghhhh, you b***h. How dare you!!!” he cried out while stretching his right hand to get me while using the other hand to hold his crouch as he bends forward. “Go rot in hell, you jerk!!! I will make sure to report you for laying your hands on me, you fool,” I screamed at him as I bang the door and make my way out of his office. I watch as a nurse walks briskly past me and goes into the office possibly to confirm the reason for commotion she heard. Let’s see if he would say the reason for that… Jerk…. I would have honestly loved to go report him to the authority in charge here immediately but I had more pressing issues. My mom… I got to the room where mom was admitted but instead allowed my feet be guided by my subconscious as I walked aimlessly down the hallway. My vision was blurry and all I knew was that I was walking to just nowhere in particular. I didn’t know how to face my mom and Sally my sister, if I went in to meet them. Sally needed to be back in school but the bills were just too much this period and we kept putting it on hold until the perfect time. However, we never knew when this perfect time would come. Sally kept trying gigs to see if she would land a modeling job, though I haven’t figured out if she was doing this because of our predicament or if she actually loved modeling.. The medical bills were still outstanding especially because of the drugs we kept buying and now she needed to undergo chemotherapy… I had struggled to handle different part time jobs but at each level it seemed like it was never enough. I had even given up on the idea of ever getting into college… “Should I have accepted Ethan’s offer…. Was I just being proud?” I wondered. Ethan was actually my boyfriend some time ago but later on, I found out that he was married and then to cut the long story short, I broke up with him. Now, he ends up being the doctor my mom was assigned under. My mom was rushed in here by my sister earlier today when she had one of her usual crisis. But now was I supposed to foot my bills when I have just rejected my only some-what simple way out? How would I save our mom?? According to what we just found out, she needed to undergo this surgery else….. Else…. I would lose her… Those words sounded really hard for me to say out loud or even think about but with all that has been happening in this past few days, that was the scary underlying possibilities that I hoped could disappear miraculously. But do miracles really happen? If they do happen, then I guess I would need one urgently now. I suddenly look around my surrounding and see that I was standing in front of a church as I see the cross bolding hanging at the top. Was it okay for an atheist to go into a church? What was I even thinking? I wonder how it was that I was here but if this was where my legs led me to then maybe I would just keep going right on. I walked through the arranged chairs in the hall which seemed to be filled with a few persons who walked in and out. I couldn’t remember the last time I was here, so it felt really weird being here. Finally I was at the altar where I see the cross facing me directly. I don’t also know why but it felt as though I could pour my heart out here and I would feel better. So maybe I was just here to share my problems and lessen the pain I was feeling. I kneel down slowly as I begin, “Honestly, I don’t know why I am here but maybe this is the only place I can air my thoughts out and maybe I will be able to see clearly. I have a lot of things to say and maybe I will just sit down and see if I can feel this calmness mom always talks about getting from just being here” I pause for a bit as I hitch back a tear before I continue, “I don’t know why you took dad away from us when I was only just a little girl. But please and please… can you not take my mom away from me too??”. I remember the pains from the past when I lost my dad as little girl and when I resolved that I was never going to believe in God again. “I believed in you and prayed to you but still we lost him. I…. I don’t know if whatever I am doing right now makes any sense but please… I beg you to help me save my mom. I don’t have the money for her bills and things are really tough for us. But please, I can’t bear to lose her,” I say as I finally burst out in to tears as I couldn’t hold it in any longer. But then I hadn’t even noticed that there was someone close to me all this while, I look up and I see him smiling at me as he stretches his hand to give me his handkerchief. “I will help you sort all your mother’s bills and even give you more money,” he says. “Could this be a miracle? Was he an angel?” I wonder as I raise my head to be sure I heard clearly. “But in return, I want you to marry my son…..” What!!!!!
