MasukMarianna’s pov,
“Where am I?? I asked, facing a young man in front of me who have been examining my whole body. How is she doctor?? from another voice coming in through the door, I raised up my head to see Alexander the man who had falsely claimed that I was his wife. This was when I realized that I was in a hospital. Let’s talk in my office, the doctor said to Alexander, Okay doctor I will be with you shortly. “How are you feeling now my darling?? Alexander said as he turned to look at me, meanwhile I was lost in thought as I was busy contemplating if I should let him know the truth or not. “Darling! Alexander called out again, “You lied to me,’’ I said to Alexander who was already confused but looking at me he could tell that I already recovered my memories and there was no way he could keep on lying. I needed to get married in order to take over my grandfather’s company, and then I saw you on that road that night lying on the ground gasping for breath after being involved in an accident… you asked for my help and this was the only way I could help you, this is the price you had to pay for me to help you. “Are you kidding me?? I asked Alexander who was already feeling that he did the right thing. I learnt that your husband was the one who tried to kill you which means it’s unsafe for you to go back to your previous life, He said to me, as he continued… We can work together as a team and achieve whatever we want… you revenge on your husband while I take over the company, and we can only do this if you remain the wife of Alexander crowns and the future heiress of the crown group. “I need to be left alone, I snared at him while facing the other side of the wall while he stood up and left. This time I feel like I’ve been more entrapped after escaping my husband to meet a more dangerous man, how can I get out of this I thought as tears rolled down my cheeks. This moment made me wished I never survived the accident. “Two weeks later. “Good morning! my beautiful heiress, you should come out now breakfast is ready. Alexander shouted,‘‘Go away Alexandar’ I shouted back at him. It’s been weeks now, is this how you want to revenge your husband?? He continued , okay can we just talk? He asked me again. Just then I opened the door and came out looking so exhausted,what do you want to talk about? I snapped at him , come on darling we can’t talk about this while standing He said while touching my hair which was manipulating to me , we should go downstairs okay? He asked, let’s go then, I answered him after contemplating for a while (At the dining) i was just clincking the glass cup with my head bowed down… “Marianna’ I apologize for the way I treated you, it was out of greed and selfishness, I didn’t care about how you will feel about it but I care now Marianna…I won’t control you anymore, we can pretend as husband and wife while we pull off our plan and after that have been achieved we can go our separate ways and live our lives, but for now we need each other… you help me take over the company and I will help you revenge your husband and reclaim all your properties including your company if that’s okay with you, Alexander proposed, but I was still quiet. Just take your time and think about it he continued as he stood up to leave, just then I broke up the silence holding his hands backwards as i said to him ‘am with you Alexandar” There’s nothing to think about, but you must keep your promise that we go our separate ways after everything is done. And he agreed with me. (Still at the dining) Where is the butler?? Can I have my breakfast now please I shouted, look who wants to finally have her breakfast after days of starving, Alexander teased me. Eat well my darling wife so you will have the capability to avenge your husband, he continued, Did I just hear you say wife?? Am not your wife remember, this is a contractual marriage… I teased him back, just then we both burst into uncontrollable laughter, the atmosphere was satisfying until Alexandar recieved a call from his grandfather and had to leave the dining. I can’t remember the last time I felt this happy… it has always been heated arguments until now. I can’t wait to get strong and revenge Drey finally even though the process was not going to be easy. I had faith in Alexandar, I believe that with his help everything will go as planned. knowing that acting as the wife of Alexandar crowns and the future heiress of the crown group will not be so easy, with his grandfather who seems tough to handle will be another difficult job. Alexandar was done with his call and back to the dining, grandfather has called to invite Alexandar and I over for dinner, It was a family gathering, everyone will be there and I will be introduced formally to everyone. I should call the hairdresser soon to give me a new look so I can look more like the future heiress of the crowns group, and that way there will be less suspicion, I will also need to pick out a dress my lord so I will leave you now… I had said to Alexandar while leaving the table.Alexander’s pov”.It was early the next morning and Marianna was set to go out. “Where are you headed to?, I asked her, she turned slowly to face me, I was expecting a direct answer but instead she said I could join her if I want, there’s no way I could let her go out on her own, she now knows part of the truth so she could do anything at anytime, I needed to be there to stop her from taking any risk. “Am going with you” I said to her.Soon after, we arrived at the Reed’s Headquarters, it was still carrying her name. I watched as she stood across the street hidden behind dark sunglasses and a tailored suit. Her posture was relaxed but her eyes were still sharp. She watched people moved in and out of the glass doors without a second glance. Employees, Executives, assistants rushing with files and phones pressed to their ears. This was her world. “Does it feel different?” I asked her. She said “No” without looking at me. I knew it was a lie, it felt very different, it felt like standing
Alexander’s pov. I was in my private chamber when I heard a knock on the door, Alexander it’s me’, Marianna had shouted. ‘Good morning sunshine” I said while I tried to arrange her hair but she pushed me away, oh jeez! Why are you not putting on shirt, she yelled… Do I have to put on shirts in my chambers ?? You invaded my room unannounced, I said while smiling at her. “Oh goodness! I thought I knocked, am so so sorry, I will go right back there and knock while you get the door once again, she said teasingly while making her way to the door but I held her back looking deep into her eyes, I whispered into her ears ‘cut the drama Marianna”, why are you in my private chambers? she went dumb at the moment, while trying to escape me,she had whispered back in my ears, ‘you have gone insane Alexander” I’ve gone insane for you sunshine, i said while smiling at her but Marianna will not buy that smile, I always thought I was good at manipulating people but she’s got more skill on that
Marianna’s pov.The car door was opened and I came down looking all spruced up with my new found husband beside me while we walked arm in arm into the building, Good day mr. and mrs.crowns, the housekeepers greeted with their heads bowed, while we waved at them we made our entrance into the hall where the meeting was held, as we approached we saw that everyone was already at the table including Rowan, Alexander’s stepbrother , looks like i and Alexander were the main event cuz everyone was waiting for us. The stare coming from them was unavoidable.At the table, Alexander pulled out a chair for me like a gentleman before sitting down himself, after which we exchanged pleasantries with everyone, Grandfather was not yet at the table so we dined while waiting.The room was quiet at the moment but of course there’s no way Rowan won’t cause a scene, just as I was pondering he broke the silence. Why is a mere total stranger sitting at our table and even dining with us? He asked and was wait

Marianna’s POV~Two weeks later~Why does it feel like I have died before? Even after living as Marianna Crowns for two weeks, I couldn't bring myself to believe this was the life I had lived.Every day, I prayed earnestly for my memories to return.Alexander also tried to help me regain my memories by making us take walks in paths he claimed we had always walked together, eating at restaurants he claimed we had frequented together, but nothing returned.Today, I stared at my reflection in the mirror as one of the maids applied makeup on my face.“How long have you been here?” I asked.She paused, taking her hands off my face and standing with her head slightly bowed, hands carefully placed at her front.“Almost a year, ma'am,” she responded.I turned my face to her slowly. “How long have I been married to Alexander?”“Six months, ma'am.” She replied.I turned back to the mirror and took a deep breath. Everything proved that Alexander Crowns is my husband and I'm his wife. The wedding
Alexander's POV.The whole space reeked of medicine and blood. The stench of antibiotics clinging to my nose.I stood with my arms crossed, watching the unconscious lady in front of me as the machine beeped slowly beside her.A male doctor stood by her side, examining her with a chart in his hands.Her hands moved and her eyes fluttered open shortly after.“Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?” The doctor asked, examining her once again.I watched in silence until she was made to sit on the bed.She looked confused, unable to say a word.“Where am I?” She asked the doctor, her eyes moving around everywhere.When I picked her up from the cold floor last night and brought her to the hospital, the doctor had said she had hit her head hard and there was a risk of amnesia.“This is a hospital. Do you remember anything that happened?” The doctor responded.“If you have confirmed that she's okay, leave the room” I said coldly. “I will do the questioning”The doctor bowed slightly, leaving th
