My Family Wants Me to Marry a Fool, But I'm Already the CEO's Wife! Chapter 1

The Robertson family finally brought me home. My parents got straight to business: marrying me off to a rich, mentally disabled man.

My mother, Judy, looked me over with undisguised condescension.

"Darren Blackwood is...special. But the Blackwood fortune is immense. You'll want for nothing."

I looked at Darren, who was giggling to himself, drooling slightly, and flat-out refused.

"Isn't he Tiffany's fiancé? Rumor has it, he ended up like this after falling off a cliff trying to save her. So why isn't Tiffany fulfilling her duty?"

Tiffany, the stand-in daughter hovering nearby, went pale. Tears sprang to her eyes, tracing perfect, practiced tracks down her cheeks.

Judy bristled. "Tiffany is delicate. How could she possibly marry someone like that?"

My father, Robert, cut in, his voice like ice. "Julian, the most powerful CEO in the city, has already expressed interest in Tiffany. A man like Darren is beneath her station."

So that was it. They hadn't wanted a daughter. They'd wanted a sacrificial lamb.

I smirked and dialed Julian.

"Darling, I heard you're getting married? How come you didn't tell me?"
