Episode 2

A butler greeted us, we went inside the mansion. Even just with that I can tell that two families are not going to have family relations with each other. They just need a girl would marry their son who is coma, and they are ready to pay for any price my father say. Worst part is I am just a thing to sell in my father's eyes and my mother does not have any problems with that. As long as it is not her favorite daughter she would not protest. She even said that I am lucky because the man I am going to marry will not live long and even if he lives as his "wife" I will live comfortable.

And here we are inside the big mansion of The Rothwells'. Grandfather Rothwell is not here. He is in their old mansion. And I see Linda Rothwell - mother, Ralph Rothwell - father, and there is another man I guess that he is an illegitimate son of Ralph Rothwell. As long as I remember his name must be Bryan. He is here to use his half-brother's absence to have the Rothwells' property. Because him in the future the Rothwells will face a lot of problems.

And Linda Rothwell my soon-to-be mother-in-law started the conversation.

-Hello Mr Morton, Mrs Morton, and you must be Amelia. Please make yourself comfortable. What would you like to drink?- She asked us.

While we were talking my father, Ralph, and Bryan Rothwell went to another room. I guess that they went to talk about how much money my father wanted, when should they send me to my "new home" or something like these.

We - my mother, Mrs Linda and I were drinking tea then the marriage topic came.

- We are planing to make this marriage official as soon as possible. Do you have anything to say about it?- Mrs Linda asked.

- You are right. There is nothing to wait. - My lovely mother didn't even look at me when she answered the question.

-Good then. If you don't mind I want to talk to your daughter who is my soon-to-be daughter in law alone for a little time. I have something to ask and tell her.- Mrs Linda said. It didn't seem like a suggestion, it was more like she just wanted to inform my mother.

-Of course. - My mother answered.

-Come after me Amelia.- Mrs Linda led the way.

We went to the second floor, entered a room, and there I saw a man who was lying on the bed. Looks like I met my soon-to-be husband earlier than I thought. He didn't look like he is in coma. It was more likely he was sleeping. His name is Ethan. He is 26 years old now, and before the accident he was really well-known person especially among the girls. He was also a successful businessman whom everyone admired his intelligence.

-Amelia, before the marriage I want to talk to you. I know that you have different things in your mind. You are young. So tell me what was your plan if there was not these all.- Ms Linda asked.

-Actually if you want me to be honest. Yes, I had a different plan. I am a University student right now. I have finished my first year. There was not a marriage in my mind. But I think if I can continue my studies then I am good with it.- I said.

- It is good that you are in a University, and I support that you continue your studies. But I think it is better to attend your classes online at first. Later we will discuss it again. So in this house you will take of the things related to my son - your future husband. He has caretakers, nurses and a personal doctor. So it will not be too hard for you. But I want you take care of him personally too. As a wife it will be your duty. I assume that your parents are not going to ask you about your thoughts about the date that we will make official the marriage. But I want to ask you how much time do you need to be ready for this marriage?- she spoke kindly.

- I think one week is enough and thank you.- I answered with a smile.

- Good then I will take care of it. By the way call me mother. If you have questions then ask, I will answer them. - she said.

- How is his health now? - I asked the thing that I really wanted to know.

- Doctors say that he can wake up, but the chance is too low, and even if he wakes up there is a chance that he will not be able to walk or at least it will take time. - She looked like she is about to cry.

- I understand. I am sorry...- I did not know what else to say.

- Let's go back. - She led the way.
