    Chapter 13 – For Better or Worse


    (Anj‘s POV)


    “You are brave,” The older doctor said, looking at me with awe. We were in front of the ICU room, staring


    at the ss wall, watching Steve Mars in the bed sleeping. The doctor beside me is the chairman and


    personally attended to Mr. Mars‘ needs, the hospital‘s VIP. When Elenita told me he was the owner and


    the chairman, I didn‘t want to believe her. He seemed young to be the chairman, but when she said that


    Dr. Greene was born a genius and became a doctor at a young age, I did not hesitate anymore. “Thank


    you,” I said meekly, looking down to my feet. “I was well–trained by my mother,” I bit my lower lip after my


    lie.


    “If you were not there, it might be toote for him,” he said, tilting his head and looking directly into my


    eyes, and amazingly, we have the same round brown eyes. “How old are you?” “Eight... Er... Neen. It


    was my birthday yesterday,” I lied again. When I return, the first thing I would do is confess to Father


    Jesse, and I could imagine already spending the church the whole day praying and repenting for my


    sins. “Happy birthday!” The corners of his mouth lifted a smile that touched my heart, making me smile at


    him as well. I wondered why I felt weird in front of him, but maybe I was just feeling dizzy after the


    hangover, the emergency, and the hunger. I have not eaten my breakfast yet, which I never missed every


    morning for seventeen years. He turned to Sky, standing behind us, leaning on the wall as if looking for


    something solid to depend on after our tiring morning. He smiled at him. “You‘re lucky to have a friend


    like her. Is she your ”


    “Our maid,” Sky answered immediately, cutting the doctor and looking at me, squinting his eyes on me as


    if telling me that if I talked, he would cut my tongue.


    My eyes narrowed, and I could feel my nostrils ring in anger, but I decided to press my lips together,


    and when my tears welled in my eyes, I bit my lower lip to stop myself from crying.


    “You‘re lucky to have a maid like her,” he nced at Sky, nodding at him, and then he surprised me when


    he tousled my hair. “If someday you feel like looking for a new job, please consider working for me. Are


    you studying?” I shook my head. “I never got the chance,” I whispered, enough for Sky to hear. I closed


    my eyes and heaved a deep sigh, counting the lies I had said since yesterday night. He took a card from


    his pocket. “If you‘re up for it, I provide schrships for students who want to earn a medical degree


    course.” He winked at me, causing me to smile. “Still, my mother can‘t afford this,” I swallowed hard, my


    hands trembling as I looked at his name on the card.


    He ces his hand on my shoulder. “Give me a call after you and your mother talk. Let‘s see what we


    can do.” He tapped me and then looked at Sky. “Your father requested to see her once he gets out of the


    ICU.” I panicked, stopping Dr. Greene as he turned his back on us. “Huh? Uhm... When will that


    happen?”


    He stopped and looked at Steve Mars with concern. “The most would be a week.”


    “A week?” I leaned my hands and pressed my forehead on the ss. “Oh, Please, Mr. Mars, wake up.”


    “Don‘t worry, little Miss. He‘s out of danger now. We are just monitoring his condition.” He chuckled at


    me. He heaved a sigh and smiled. “What‘s your name?”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Ang,” I answered, ncing at him with tears in my eyes, forgetting the red washable ink again on my


    face. “Ang,” He repeated my name with longing and sadness. “Don‘t worry, Ang, he‘ll wake up


    soon. When he does, I‘ll call Sky right away.” He looked at Sky again. “Bring her home. She seemed tired


    and hungry.” He turned to me. “Or would you like to have some breakfast with me, Ang?”


    I smiled and shook my head. “Thank you, Dr. Greene, but I‘d rather go home.” “I understand,” he said


    gently, nodding his head before walking to the quiet hallway of the ICU area.


    A week.


    If I stayed, many things could happen, and with Sky around, it would be challenging to guard my foolish


    heart.


    I heaved a deep sigh, deciding to go home and just check on Mr. Mars from time to time. Without looking


    at Sky, I walked in the opposite direction, going to the exit emergency door to leave, but before I could


    walk past him, he grabbed the neckline, the back piping, of my shirt.


    “Where do you think you‘re going?” He hissed, pulling me angrily with my shirt.


    “Going home,” I answered, brushing his hands off my shirt. I glowered at him as I fixed the hem of my


    shirt. “What‘s wrong with you? I just borrowed this shirt.” “Going home? And then what? Let the whole


    world know I married you by mistake?” He snarled, gripping my wrist. “No way, ugly woman!” I raised my


    eyebrows and looked at him disappointingly. “Yeah!” I sneered at him. “The whole world would know that


    the Mighty Sky, the smart Sky, the God of the Elite, married by mistake,” I smirked at him. “What do you


    intend to do with me?” I asked, raising my head to tell him I was not afraid.


    “Keep you until Dad gets out of the hospital,” he answered, but I shook my head.


    “I have no intention of staying, Sky. If you are afraid I will tell the world about what happened between us,


    I think no one will believe me,” I sighed and continued, “I am not your maid.” “But you are my wife,” He


    shook his head, disgusted at the thought as he smirked. He took the ring from his pocket and put it on


    his finger. He moved his head closer to my ears and whispered. “For better or worse, remember? Will


    you leave me at this worst moment, Ang?”


    I felt his lips brushing my earlobe, causing me to close my eyes, wanting him again.


    “Do you remember what you promised mest night?” He whispered, his husky voice making my core


    wet, causing my legs to wobble, and desiring Sky Mars inside me.


    I swallowed hard, nodding my head and closing my eyes hard as I remembered what I said. “Say it,


    Ang. What did you tell me?” He nipped my earlobe. My lips parted, and I sucked for air before


    answering. “I promised to be a submissive wife to the Mighty Sky.” He pushed me gently away from him,


    waking me up from a short moment of insanity over him. “Then act like one,” he scoffed, walking past me


    and taking his phone to call someone.” Elenita, tell Frank we‘re going home.” My tears rolled down my


    cheeks as I clenched my fists in anger. “A submissive wife,” I whispered sadly, wiping my tears carefully


    as I followed the path toward my shattered dreams.
