The Reluctant Wife (Sold to marry a disabled man.)
"Do I have to mention what you are in this family before you know what to do? That whore you called a mother brought a pregnancy into this house and still claimed me to be the father. I raised you even when I knew you were just a bastard. Do you think it's easy to raise someone else's child? I took care of you with my money and sent you to school until you graduated and you're still spending my hard work, and you won't like to repay me for all I have done for you and your useless mother? I wish that whore were still alive to witness the ungrateful bastard she gave birth to." Mr. Walkey yelled angrily at Emmeline, who couldn't even raise her head to look at her father as he yelled at her. "Look, whether you like it or not, you are going to marry whom I choose for you, and it's a marriage that needs to be done quickly. All you need to do is sign a paper and pack your belongings for your new home." Mr. Walkey shouted and walked out of the sitting room, leaving Emmeline speechless as she stood in one spot until a drop of tears fell down her cheeks. "You should know what is good for you by now, Emmeline, and stop being stubborn and listen to your father. Oh, oops, you're not his biological daughter. Well, just do what he told you for the sake of this family that has raised you and fed you until today," Mrs. Walkey said sarcastically and left the living room, while Ava, who is Mr. and Mrs. Walkey's biological daughter, chuckled as she smirked and walked away as well, leaving Emmeline alone standing. Emmeline's mother died when she was three years old. According to the story, when her mother was still alive, Emmeline's mother was arranged to marry Mr. Walkey even though she was a month pregnant but was forced by her family not to tell anyone, even Mr. Walkey, until she gave birth. The baby was three months old when it got sick and needed her father's blood, and that's when Mr. Walkey knew the baby wasn't his. This caused a lot of arguments between Mr. Walkey and Emmeline's mother, and the trust issue wouldn't let Mr. Walkey stay in love in the relationship, as an opportunity arose for him to marry his first love, who was also pregnant, but he couldn't bring himself to bring her home due to his marriage commitment to Emmeline's mother. After the secret Emmeline's mother kept from him was revealed, he couldn't think twice before bringing his first love to his home and marrying her as a second wife while she was pregnant with his child. Mr. Walkey despised Emmeline's mother and couldn't give any attention to her, turning his focus entirely to his second wife, who was pregnant with him. Emmeline's mother suffered silently and felt neglected even as she began to feel sick until three years later when she died. Her death didn't bother Mr. Walkey too much, but he promised to keep Emmeline and raise her. He raised her and sent her to school despite how much he hated the mother of the child, and he never gave attention to Emmeline nor provided for some of her needs until Emmeline finished her studies with a certificate as a certified surgeon. Mr. Walkey brought up Emmeline's mother's past to remind Emmeline of what he had done for her and her mother because he was experiencing some financial problems in his company. An opportunity arose as he was offered to sell one of his daughters to marry the heir of the Grey family, Alexander Grey, who is now a disabled man, and the family could only find a woman to marry him whom they and he could trust to take care of him. Mr. Walkey couldn't even think twice; he thought Emmeline was a great option for this because how could he choose his lovely biological daughter to marry a disabled man? So Emmeline was the best option to do this, and then he could save his company and make it rise again with the help of the Grey family. Is this not almost like history repeating itself? Emmeline's mother was forced to marry Mr Walkey which caused a lot of changes in her life and caused her untimely death. What would happen to Emmeline now that the history of her mother is about to happen to her as well? Would this again change her life like her mother or her story would be different from her mom's history? Let's find out what awaits her in the future of Emmeline's chapters that are about to begin
