Married To My Sister's Husband

Winfrey Mansion

"What?... please tell me this is a joke. Dad, it's barely a month since my wife- your daughter-in-law died, and you want me to get remarried to her sister?!” Markian exclaimed baffled.

He still wasn't clear about the sickening news his parents had just casually offloaded on him.

It was as if they really don't care about anything else if it isn't about Castlehill, not his happiness, not even his peace of mind.

What surprised him the most was how on earth they thought he would go along with their recent insanity to make a mockery out of his relationship and memories of his late wife.

“It wasn’t our idea really. But if you look at it from our point of view, it’s not as bad as it sounds. Listen, if Judy walks away with her shares of the Company, then Castlehill Group will surely be ruined. This was her idea. We don't know why she would make such a request but, it benefits us more son". Barbara spoke softly in an attempt to calm him down, but was cautious enough to keep her distance.

"She has given us 2days to make up our minds, and your mother and I intend on giving her a positive reply. So be prepared,” Matthew instructed coldly.

“I don’t fu'king care whose idea it was or who suggested it in the first place. I don’t give a fu'k about what may or may not happen to Castlehill at this point. All I know is that there's no way in hell I’m gonna marry my late wife’s sister, all because of some stupid contract, ok? Never!” Markian stated sternly.

This was beyond his comprehension- a marriage between Olivia and himself? Why would anyone even think of such an inhumane thing in the first place?

First of all, he doesn’t even like Olivia, neither had he at anytime thought of her in anyway that would make anyone misunderstand their relationship- he was sure of that. If for anything, he really disliked her and was never able to understand why she hated him in the first place.

So, why was she agreeing to this madness all of a sudden? Is she a part of this insane plan?

No, it couldn’t be. He is almost sure that this isn’t what Olivia wants either. No one in their right mind would ever agree to get married to their late twin-sister’s husband just a month after her passing. No one can be that selfish or heartless to do something as disgusting as that.

“Son, your father put his life and sweat into making Castlehill a conglomerate after your grandfather passed away. And even when the business was about to fall, he brought down his pride and begged Judy Luthel for help. We finally got to save the company, but it also meant we had to lose a huge chunk of the company still. Getting you married to a Luthel daughter was so we could get a little bit of our company back from the Luthels, and fortunately for you, you fell in love with her. Don't let both your sacrifice and ours all go to waste, including her death. All your hard work would all be for nothing, if we still lose Castlehill. Think about it.” Barbra sympathetically stated.

After that, Markian was in a dilemma as Mr and Mrs Winfrey left his room.

The President of Castlehill Group- Markian Winfrey, have lots of attributes. He is a very handsome, daring, bold, strict, resilient and brave young man, but when pushed to the wall he can become very rugged. He can also be egocentric, selfish and proud- never attentive to anyone else but himself, until he met his late wife-Sophia.

She soon became the light that shined in his gloomy world, and boy- did he love that light. He was ready to do anything just to see her smile and happy.

At first it was an arranged marriage with no intention of starting anything real with her, until he met her for the first time on their very first date.

He soon discovered that she was more than just a pretty face and a gorgeous body. She had dreams and they both had a lot in common as well. She had a weird behavior of talking a lot about herself, a behavior he had only noticed in himself- and he enjoyed it. She makes him smile just by smiling, a talent only few people in his life possessed. So, he soon fell in love with her until her last days.

‘If you love something or someone so much, oftentimes you end up losing them’. After her death, he wondered for days if that saying was what had happened. Did he love her too much? Was that why she was taken away?

Her death was his, and the day she died- he thought- marked the end of his happiness. He lost the ability to believe in phrases like ‘I love you’, ‘true love’ and ‘true happiness'. Above all, he knew very well that he would never let anyone get close enough to his heart-like Sophia did, ever again.

She was the only person that mattered in his life, so why are they trying to snatch her memories from him? He is not in support of their decision and have to do something about it real quick.

He grabbed his phone from the table and made a call to his secretary. He told her to make an appointment with Mrs Luthel as soon as possible. The sooner he meets with Mrs Luthel and get this madness sorted out, the better for everyone.

That night, he couldn't eat nor was he hungry because he was brainstorming ideas of how to put an end to the recent development.

Livy sat on her queen-sized bed, curled up in a sad position with her face buried between her knees. Ironic how the emptiness of the hundred-million-dollar mansion since Sophy left, never bothered her until today. Somehow, she's feeling especially lonely and confused.
