Chapter 2
*RENEE*
When | got hthat evening,l found my parents and my sister,Catherine seated on the couch,it seemed as if
they were waiting for me.
My father,Rocco stood up to his feet.
“Catherine just told us that you found out about her involvement with Andrew.”
| was stunned.”So you all knew she was having an affair with Andrew?”
“Well,they both seem to like each other.It’s only natural they got together.”
That madespeechless.| knew the Hudsons never took my side but this was the height of it all.
“What about me?”
“We have other plans for you,Renee.”
They always had other plans forand that was why | badly wanted to escape from their hold.
“Jessica King is searching for a wife for her son,the prize money could change our life forever.”
“What...what are you saying?”
“You are going to marry Marcelo King.”
| almost laughed at that.”Marcelo is Andrew's cousin.| was Andrew's fiancee until few hours ago and now you
wantto be the wife of his cousin?!”
“Yes.| already spoke to Jessica.l told her you and Andrew ended things and she said she’s okay with it as long as
you are capable of taking care of her son.”
“Why should it bewho has to marry Marcelo?!What about Catherine?!”
“Oh shut up!”My mother,Grace yelled as she stood up to her feet.”You would have been dead if it wasn’t for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtus!And now you expect my daughter to marry a cripple when you are available?!”
Tears pricked my eyes.
This was the saddest part of it all.| wasn’t related to the Hudsons.| didn’t even know who my birth family was.
Grace and Rocco only toldthat they foundclose to their hwhen | was a baby and they know nothing
about me.
| had tried to find my biological family on my own but they were no clues and no answers.The Hudsons was the
only family | knew but they never treatedas family.
Sometimes, wondered why they even tookin.
Grace moved closer to me.”If you can’t do this for anyone.Then do it for nana.We need money to pay for her
medications to keep her alive.You know that if things were up to us,we’d have stopped funding her
medication,she’s old anyway and it’s tshe dies...”
“Don’t you dare say that!”| yelled,tearfully.
Nana had been the family’s housekeeper for years.She had fallen sick a year ago.Nana was the only person who
had ever showedgenuine love.She had made my childhood bearable as she often protectedfrom the
Hudson's abuse.
My fist clenched.
Maybe this wasn’t a bad idea afterall,this could givethe freedom | needed from the Hudsons, could also foot
Nana's medical bills.
| just had to take care of a cripple, right?
“Fine,l will marry Marcelo King.”
ork
And that was how | found myself in a wedding dress.
My groom wouldn't be present at the small wedding because strangely enough,he wasn’t informed that there
was going to be a wedding.
His mother had arranged everything,she had even found a way to get his original signature to be stamped on
the wedding certificate.
My phone rang out and | saw that it was Andrew calling.l ignored the call but he sent a text.
Andrew: heard you're going to marry Marcelo.ls this perhaps your revenge against me?It’s very
laughable,Renee.That man can barely function.
| deleted the text,immediately.l had never imagined myself ever marrying a cripple but | had no choice.
At the very least,the Hudsons had no control ofanymore.
After the wedding certificates had been signed,| was sent off to Marcelo’s mansion.
| tried not to fidget as | sat on the back seat of the car.l sat up when she saw big gates opening,automatically.
As the car drove into the mansion,| looked out the window.Everywhere looked so spooky and unnerving.
When | watched movies on TV,the billionaires’ houses were always littered with workers.
| took a deep calming breath as the car pulled over in front of the mansion.
| saw a man walked out the mansion and opened the door for me.
“Welcome, Mrs King.”
Mrs King.
When | had thought about being Mrs
King before, had Tue: Id be (1

| wordlessly followed the man into the house.l had heard a lot about Marcelo King.
It was said that he had a temper of a demon which only becworse after he beccrippled.
“This is your room.I’'m the butler,I’'m Chad.”The man introduced.
“Renee.”| replied.”Where is my hu...| mean,where is Marcelo?”
