My Husband’s Stone Cold Heart

when his mother died saving Gehona when she was 9 years old. Clark resented her and her existence. He tried to ignore her as if she did not exist. But his father, Arnulfo is a very kind man. He still supported her and treated her like his own daughter until he died.

His death was devastating and painful for both Clark and Gehona. Gehona arranged the funeral of her godfather. Clark is mostly dazed. His eyes were red and dark circles were visible under his eyes. His father and Clark did not have a great relationship because of Geehona yet Clark remains respectful towards his fathers decisions. As the old man get sick, he would constantly visit him in their family home and sometimes spend the night. Yet, Clark still refuses to acknowledge Gehona. Hes very friendly even to the maids and neighbors or strangers except to her.

The day after the funeral, Clark and she was called for the reading of the last will of Arnulfo.

In the last will, Clark has to marry Gehona for at least two years to be able to fully acquire his inheritance and his share of the company. They have to stay in one home together for two years as a married couple.

”I do, ” Gehona answered.

”Clark Kennedy, do you accept Gehona Savedra as your lawful wife… ”

Gehona glanced at the man beside him. Hes deep in thought. Hesitation is visible in his eyes. After an agonizing 10 seconds, he responded.

”I do. ” He said in a defeated voice.

The court judge announced their marriage.

”…and now you may kiss the bride. ”

They faced each other. Clark gazed down at her with an emotionless expression. He bowed his head to her. His lips touched her cheek.

This is not the wedding Gehona wished for. She dreamed of walking down the aisle in a beautiful white gown. On the side of the altar is her groom, waiting for her with anticipation and full of love.

Here she is marrying a man who hated her in the courtroom, wearing a short dress that is not even white.

”I have to go back to the company. The driver will send you home. ” Clark said in a cold voice as soon as they leave the courtroom.

She just nodded.

A few days ago while drunk, he screamed at her for making his life miserable. For tricking his father to marry her. Although his words were painful yet she felt relief that he finally see her. Its dumb but maybe its the start. The next morning, he returned to his old self of acting like she don exist.

He was forced to talk to her about their marriage arrangement when he found no way to contest the will. He can only inherit his shares by marrying her.
