Married To My Sister's Husband

Chapter 3 A Silent Engagement

Luthel Mansion

Livy finally woke up to the familiar scent of her room, the warmth of it suddenly smoothed her aching nerves.

Wait. How did i get to my room? Am I still dreaming?

Was that all a dream? If it was, then she's couldn't be happier to have woken up from such nightmare. But she deep down still, she knew it wasn’t a dream.

Slowly and weakly, she opened her eyes to see their family doctor writing down on his notepad.

She looked around carefully just to be certain it was her room, but met her mother's cold eyes staring her down.

Last thing she remembered was, she suddenly felt faint at work inside her office and decided to close her eyes for a bit.

Could it be that she had fainted back then? Why, why did she faint?

Soon the memories came rushing back like a sharp slap making her flinch.

She had seen the Winfrey's at Luthel Inc, and she knew the reason why they had come.

That and coupled with the fact that she had not eaten anything since the day before must have been the reason she fainted.

"Good. You're awake. How do you feel? Are you hurting anywhere?" doctor Collins asked, concerned.

Dr. Collins has been the Luthel family doctor ever since Livy was a little girl, so she wasn't feeling too self-conscious with him around.

"I feel fine, just my head...it feels sore, and my stomach hurts a little," she replied.

"How long have you been feeling the ache in your head?", Dr Collins asked professionally.

"For the past 2 days now. I... " she started but Judy interrupted,

"She must have been stressing herself too much at the office combined with her wedding preparations. It's my fault, I shouldn't have let her take on so much work. But I hope she's alright?"

Livy completely froze as the sound of the word 'marriage' rang in her ears.

So it's decided then? She's getting married to Markian. A trickle of tear made its way down her cheek as she lowered her head in disappointment.

When she raised up her head again, her eyes were glued to her mother who showed no empathy or pity whatsoever.

Judy's face was as blank as ever, only maybe with a slight disapproval. Of course it wasn't against the arranged marriage, but at the fact that Livy was now crying.

She hates it when her daughters unnecessary starts to cry around her, thinking that would solve anything.

She believes only the weak and lazy think they can solve their problems with tears. Pathetic. She knows she didn't bring them up to lazy nor weak.

"She will be fine, she just needs to start eating properly- she has lost some weight. I will give you some prescriptions she needs to take, it will help with the headache and the pain in her stomach too for the time being. And of course, congratulations on your wedding, ma'am. Don't worry, you will be just fine once you take the prescribed medications as instructed,” Dr Collins stated pleasantly.

Livy was already lost in her own thoughts, and might as well be drowning in her own tears toi.

“Of course Dr, she will and I’ll make sure of that. Thank you for your help.” Judy said nicely as she walked the doctor to the door and handed him over to the butler to see him out.

When she returned to Livy's bed, she was quite upset for several reasons but kept a straight face as she tucked Livy in and straightened the side of the blanket covering.

"'Take the day off and nurse yourself back to health,' I said. Falling sick or fainting at the office doesn't tell well on our imagine, but does she listen? No! I'm responsible for putting food on the tables of over 2000 employees, but my own daughter fainted because of hunger- how ironic?" Judy soliloquized audibly.

She was not the least bit careful with her word, well aware that Livy could hear her and was still crying.

"Who...se wedding preparations were you referring to, mother?" Livy asked with a heavy heart.

"Yours of course. The Winfrey's have accepted the married proposal, so in a week's time you will be getting married to the President of Castlehill- Markian Winfrey. Now, do you understand why you can't be so negligent with your health? Imagine the embarrassment I faced today when I came to share the good news with you, but you were unconscious in your office."

Judy rehearsed what happened at the office after Livy had gone unconscious.
