Forced To Be The Billionaire’s Bride CHAPTER 68
The next day, Marie and Aaron were discharged from the hospital. Aaron’s head was still bandaged, however, it seemed like he was recuperating. As they left the hospital, Susann stood by, her face showing signs of worry. She had helped them pack their things, and as they stood at the doorway of the hospital, she excused herself, giving the couple a few areas.“I’ll take a look at it later,” Susann stated softly before leaving.Marie gave her a small smile and a nod. “Thank you, Susann. We’ll be okay.”When they got into the car, Aaron’s hand found Marie’s, and for the time in a protracted at the same time as they held arms with no limitations between them. It felt natural, comforting.As they arrived home, Aaron’s steps were slower than usual, but he became determined. Marie helped him to the door and opened it for him. “I don’t need to be alone in my room,” Aaron said, his voice low, nearly hesitant.Marie turned to him, amazed. “But you need relaxation,” she said lightly, her voice

Marie and Aaron lay in each other's arms, and the world outside the room appeared some distance away. He wrapped his arms around her as if not wanting to ever let her go, and she pressed herself against him.For the first time in a long time, she felt at peace. She felt that the burden of the whole world which has been troubling her have been lifted up her shoulders, the questions and all the uncertainties seemed to fade into space. At this moment, it becomes just the two of them.As they lay there inside the quiet, the gentle knock at the door broke the stillness. Marie quickly sat up, startled by the sound of the door. She grabbed the blanket, pulling it over her shoulders, and started to get up. But before she could flow too far, Aaron’s hand gently grabbed her arm, pulling her go in reverse into his chest."Permit’s me to live like this," Aaron whispered, his voice low, however firm. "It does not matter who’s on the door."Marie paused, nevertheless feeling surprised at how effort

Howard sat alone in his office, the heavy silence surrounding him. His huge desk, cluttered with papers and a tumbler of whisky, appeared to feature the oppressive environment. He became misplaced in notion, staring into space, his thoughts racing through the activities of the past few days.His arms tightened around the glass, his grip tight with frustration. He had suspected for some time that something had changed. He had watched his son, seen the way Aaron had acted around Marie, and it didn’t sit down properly with him. There was something about her that didn’t appear proper. And that worried him.His son had usually been focused, determined, and particular. But with Marie within the image, Aaron regarded it as distracted, remote. He had to understand more.That’s whilst Howard had come up with the plan. He had arranged for the staged twist of fate, the truck incident. It became speculated to be a manner to test Marie, to peer how she could react below pressure, to look if she tu

Marie slowly woke up, her eyes fluttering open to see Aaron staring down at her. She blinked, startled to discover him so near. His face was soft, his eyes packed with warmth and something else she couldn't quite place."Good morning," Aaron stated, his voice calm, a mild smile on his face.Marie's heart skipped a beat, but she frowned barely, still a piece pressured. "Why have you been staring at me?" she requested, her voice a little shaky.Aaron chuckled softly, the sound comforting. "I wasn't staring," he stated. "I was just... thinking about how stunning you look."Marie's cheeks flushed, and she quickly looked away, feeling a touch embarrassed. She had constantly regarded Aaron as appealing, but listening to him say something like that made her heart race in a way she wasn't equipped for. She had so many blended feelings after everything that had happened: the coincidence, the anxiety between them, and all the matters left unsaid.Aaron appeared to experience the shift in her mo

Aaron reached out and gently took Marie's hand. She felt a warmth spread through her at the easy touch. She smiled up at him, feeling her heart flutter only a little.They strolled down the park path, their footsteps light on the gentle grass. Aaron's hand felt robust in hers, and as they walked, she couldn't help but glance at him sometimes.He came on foot beside her, his gaze ahead but comfy. For once, he didn't seem like he had the burden of the whole world on his shoulders.Marie squeezed his hand lightly, and Aaron glanced down at her with a small smile. "What's on your mind?" he asked, his voice calm."I'm just satisfied," she said softly, smiling back at him. "It's exceptional to just be right here with you.” No rush, no pressure, just taking walks.""It's been some time considering the fact that we had a peaceful moment like this.""Aaron," she started carefully, "what is up with your father? Have you observed him suspect something? Above us?"Aaron's expression shifted just

Marie and Aaron had left for their stroll, taking part in the peaceful second collectively, but when they returned to the mansion, matters were no longer so calm. Howard arrived unexpectedly, his steps echoing down the hallway as he made his way inside.Susann was sitting by the fireplace when Howard entered, looking up in wonder. She hadn’t been waiting for him. She quickly stood up, trying to mask the marvel on her face, however, Howard didn’t appear to care."Where are they?" Howard requested, his tone sharp."Who?" Susann asked, trying to act unaware, even though she had an amazing concept of who he intended."Aaron and Marie," Howard stated, his eyes narrowing. "Where are they?""They went out for a stroll," Susann said quickly, her voice calm, but her mind racing.Howard looked at her for a moment, studying her closely. "I didn’t come here for them," he said, his voice low and constant. "I came for you."Susann blinked, surprised by his words. "For me?" she requested, feeling th

Susann had just left a stressful conversation, and now her mind was swirling with questions and concerns.She quickly reached for her phone and dialed Aaron's number.“Hello?” Aaron spoke, his voice a little hoarse, like he had just woken up from a nap.“It’s Susann,” she said, her tone pressing. “We need to talk, Aaron. You and Marie have to come back right now.”There was a mild pause on the other stop, then Aaron’s voice returned, full of challenge. “What’s happening?”“It’s your Dad,” Susann responded quickly, glancing around nervously as she walked down the hall to her room. “He got here to peer at me. He’s beginning to suspect something. He desires to understand what’s without a doubt occurring between you and Marie.”Aaron’s breath stuck on the alternative quit, and Susann could pay attention to the anxiety in his voice. “Did you tell him anything?”“No,” Susann stated firmly. “I didn’t give whatever away, however, I’m no longer certain how much longer I'm able to maintain this

Marie and Aaron arrived as Howard changed into completing a few paintings in his look. Everywhere felt quiet, and the anxiety became thick in the air. Aaron’s footsteps echoed via the hallway as they approached Howard’s workplace.Howard sat at the back of his massive wood desk, his regular calm demeanor not overlaying the suspicion in his eyes. As quickly as he noticed them, he smiled, however, there was an aspect to it.“Dad,” Aaron said as he opened the door to Howard’s office, his voice low, “I thought you were going to Germany?”Howard chuckled softly, looking to make the scenario mild. “I was, but I couldn’t go away without checking in first. I was in a rush to see you.”Aaron raised an eyebrow, simply skeptical, but he didn’t press similarly. Howard just leaned back in his chair, taking a sip of his drink, his eyes moving among Aaron and Marie. There was something in his expression that made Marie feel uneasy, like he knew something, but he chose not to say it.“Okay” Howard sai

Marie felt sick to her stomach when she woke up. The dull ache throbbed through her body, and she moaned as she slowly sat up. A reassuring gesture that had always calmed her hands automatically went to her stomach bump, but today it didn't help. It felt strange.Susann, who had been sitting close by, saw her stir and hurried over to join her. She put a delicate hand on Marie's arm while her eyes were worried.She said in a worried tone, “How are you feeling?” Marie swallowed forcefully, attempting to ignore the vertigo that was weighing her down. “Not great”, she muttered in a feeble voice. “I feel... unwell. What happened, and why am I here?” A stray hair fell from Marie’s forehead, and Susann’s face softened. Her eyes were full of sympathy as she said softly, “You passed out in the kitchen, remember? We have you here to recuperate. You were not doing well.”Susann went on using a steady but worried tone. “You have food poisoning," the doctor had said. He prescribed medication to

The only sounds in the bedroom were Marie's steady breathing and the slight hum of the rain hitting the windows. Although the storm outside had subsided, Aaron's inner turmoil persisted, growing more intense in quiet than ever before. He sat next to her, staring at her sleeping form with his fingers loosely laced together and his elbows resting on his knees. Slow, shallow breaths caused Marie's chest to rise and fall as she lay motionless. She no longer had the flush of pain that had hit her earlier; instead, she was paler and had a faint gleam of perspiration on her forehead.With a slight parting of her lips, her dark lashes spread out like shadows across her cheeks. She appeared to be the only thing that was pure in the midst of all this chaos, even now after everything had happened. Aaron couldn't take his eyes off it.He felt a sharp aching pulse of relief in his chest. She didn't get hurt. Despite the doctor's conclusion that she wasn't expecting the baby anytime soon, the baby

Aaron’s heart pounded in his chest as he ran down the hallway, barely registering the sound of the mansion's front door slamming shut. He had been torn like a lightning strike by Susann's emergency call, and his mind was racing with the worst-case scenarios. He whispered to himself, “Marie…” as he pushed open the master bedroom door.His gaze instantly fell on her. Her body, pale and limp against the soft white sheets, was still unconscious. Her skin had a thin coating of perspiration. As he knelt next to her and gently brushed a damp lock of hair away from her face, his heart lurched.His voice was tight just above a whisper as he asked, “Is she okay?” Susann stood next to him with her arms crossed over her chest. Her face was pale, and she had worried eyes. “Aaron, the doctor is en route. He'll understand what's happening.”Aaron took some time to respond. He kept his gaze on Marie, observing her chest's gradual rise and fall. He had a nagging suspicion that something was wrong...

Susann's silk robe was pulled tight around her as she made her way through the dim hallways to the kitchen. There was an eerie calm about the mansion tonight that made her chest tighten with something she couldn't replace.Although she didn't know what had gone wrong earlier, she had a feeling. There was an oppressive silence as if a storm had swept through the house. Just in time to hear the scream, she arrived at the kitchen hallway.It was like a blade cutting through the air. High. Angular. Identifiable.Marie.Susann's breath caught in her chest as she froze at the doorway. The tray she was carrying clattered noisily to the floor, broken by the impact of the porcelain. Her hands suddenly pushed open the kitchen doors with a violent lurch of her heart.Her heart raced with cold panic at what she saw. Marie lay on the floor, her hands gripping her stomach as she fell close to the counter. Now every breath she took caused her baby bump's gentle curve to heave.Sweat was dripping fro

It was too silent in the mansion. The cold tiles beneath Marie’s feet grounded her more than she liked as she padded down the hallway. Aaron's words kept repeating in her mind, and she had her arms crossed tightly across her chest, more out of nervousness than cold.She had to do something before the weight in her chest got too much. She turned on the warm lights above and walked to the kitchen. The room was immaculate—a pristine shell concealing the decay underneath—because it was cleaned every day just like the rest of the house, not because anyone used it.Reaching over to the counter, Marie filled the kettle. To her senses, the sound of the running water was like static. After gently putting the kettle back down, she leaned both palms on the counter's edge and let out a slow exhale.I was described as a distraction. The memory made her stomach churn. Aaron had expressed his anger in a very quiet way, but there had also been a wounded and dangerous look in his eyes. When he decla

The far-off crash sounded like a gunshot in the middle of the night, echoing down the hallway. When Marie heard the muffled sound of wood splintering, she had just arrived at the end of the hallway. Her fingers tightened around the folds of her robe as she stopped, her breath caught in her chest.There was silence after another thud. A tense rather than peaceful silence filled Aaron. She made no hesitation. Turning on her heel, she rushed down the corridor. When she arrived at his room, her bare feet hardly made a sound on the marble floors. Her hand hovered over the doorknob as she paused at it.A shiver went down her back. She gave a soft knock. “Aaron?” Not responding. Slowly opening the door, she saw the chair near the far wall broken in two.“Aaron?” she repeated a little softer this time as she entered and shut the door.He didn't move right away. His fists were clenched at his sides, his head was slightly bowed, and his shoulders were tense. Papers scattered on the floor, a br

With such force that the walls shook, Aaron rushed into his room and slammed the door shut behind him. Through the void of the enormous mansion, the sound reverberated like thunder.He was pacing with his shoulders stiff and his fingers twitching at his sides as if they were searching for something to rip apart as soon as the lock clicked into position. He had his jaw clenched, his teeth grinding in unspoken rage. He felt angry—an unstoppable storm. The lamp by his bed flickered from the disturbance in the air as if even the light itself was uncertain whether to remain, and the shadows in the room seemed to grow longer with each step he took. The oak bookshelves, the velvet curtains and the chilly steel-framed pictures of people posing as a family all seemed to belong to him. Howard. Aaron was furious, and his footsteps echoed his anger like war drums on the hardwood floor. No longer was his heart thumping in his chest out of fear. That had long since burned out. Now he sensed somet

Aaron’s breath came in sharp, ragged bursts as he strode through the long dark hallway, his steps heavy. His father's remarks were reverberating in his mind like a vicious taunt, and he was consumed by a storm of rage. “You’re nothing without me.”. . . His knuckles turned white as his fists clenched so tightly his nails digging into his palms. It seemed as though the mansion itself was attempting to ensnare him in its ruthless, frigid clutches because the air around him was heavy and oppressive.He was hardly aware of the dim glow of the wall sconces as the hall stretched out in front of him with dark wooden panels reflecting it. He could hear and feel nothing but his own rage hammering unrelentingly.He could still hear his father's voice in his ears. . . “You’re toying with me.” With a start, he halted his boots scuffing the shiny floor. His chest was heaving, and his breath was harsh as he struggled to maintain his balance. Tonight his father had said far too many things, but th

The smell of whiskey filled the dimly lit study, clouding the space with a strong, almost oppressive odor. Howard sat behind his desk, he swirled the amber liquid in his glass while staring into the depths of the drink.A firm and pointed knock was heard on the door.Howard called “Come in” in a steady, low voice that showed no signs of the storm that was building inside.Aaron entered as the door squeaked open. His stance was straight, his face tight with annoyance, and he stood tall. Howard closely observed him, his keen eyes scrutinizing each nuance and facial movement. Aaron was very much a reflection of himself; he was obstinate, strong-willed and self-destructive.“Aaron, sit. We must have a conversation.” Aaron, however, did not move. His body was tense as he stood there staring at Howard’s face. His voice was tight as he said. “I'm not here to sit. I'm here to know why you called me.”The corner of Howard’s mouth curled into a thin smile as he raised an eyebrow. Savoring the
