The CEO's Little Enchantress

CLAIRE OPENED her eyes slowly. Still disoriented, she closed her eyes again and opened them again. One thing is for sure, she is not in her room. She saw the IV on her side and some bruises on her arms and hands. She is in the hospital! She is still trying to remember what just happened when the door opened and a handsome man walked towards her.

“Oh! You are awake! Good!” He said arrogantly.

Who is this man? She looked at him puzzled and confused.

“What? Cats got your tongue?” He said impatiently when she did not even say a word.

“W-Who are you?” She asked.

He laughed sarcastically and looked at her intently. “I’ve talked to the doctor and she just said that you are okay and your condition is stable. So, spare me with your old antics!”

Now she is having a headache. Who is this man and why does she have a feeling that he hates her?

“I-I really don’t know what you are talking about.” She said, confusion is visible on her face.

"You will never get tired of this, won't you?" He said mockingly.

She can see that the man is losing his patience. On the other hand, does he really have patience? But she really does not have any idea of what he is talking about.

“What is your name?” Suddenly he asked.

“Claire.” She answered even though she did not understand why he asked.

“When is your birthdate?” He asked again.

“August 21, 1992.” She answered without even thinking.

“Just exactly what I thought!” The man said. “I am already fed up with all your shows Claire! What is this new drama that you are cooking?” You even want to pretend that you don’t know me!” He said almost shouting.

Claire was not used to situations like this. She has never been treated like this by anyone, especially a man she does not know!

Strange but she can feel her eyes are burning up. But why would she cry? She is telling the truth. She does not know this man.

“Now what? You will cry? Claire, we’ve been married for six years now. And did you honestly think that these old antics of yours will still affect me? I will tell you now that it will not work on me!”

On everything that he said, the only thing that registered in her mind was they are married for 6 years now! But how is it possible that she is married to this man? She doesn't even know his name! Yeah, he looked familiar but----Yeah, why did this man look familiar? She is still confused and she can’t even think properly.

“Claire, when will you stop torturing me?” Suddenly the man asked. He sounded tired all of a sudden.

“I-I’m not your wife Mister. Maybe you just---”

“Stop this nonsense Claire! If you want to get away from this marriage then try another way! I will not divorce you!” He roared! Now the arrogant man is back.

She does not know what to say now. She is intimidated and whenever she tries to speak this man interrupts her and worse, does not even believe what she was saying.

“Can’t you see? This scheme of yours failed again! What do you want to do? You want to run away from me? You did not even think of Zack?”

Now she is thinking, if this is the treatment that she will get from her husband, then yes, she will run away from him! And who is this Zack? Oh! Gracious heaven! She just woke up from the accident and this information is too much for her.
