Chapter 4 Flash Marriage

• The emergency room hallway at Oasis Hospital was tense with anticipation.
• A middle-aged couple stood waiting anxiously. Six bodyguards, all former special forces operatives, surrounded them. Each had the ability to defeat multiple powerful individuals independently.
• The light above the emergency room door flickered off. A middle-aged doctor in a white coat emerged, his expression grim. "Mr. Madron, your son is out of immediate danger, but ... "
• "But what?." Stan's expression was stern, as he demanded, "Speak plainly; I can handle it."
• "The damage to your son's reproductive organs are irreversible. He won't be able to engage in sexual activity in the future. However, modern medicine can still allow him to have children with the help surgery, so there's no need to worry about that," the doctor said in a rush, then quickly excused himself, fearing the family's wrath.
• Lewis had severely injured Neil Madron, who was now in the emergency room. His parents, Stan Madron and Patricia Binder, were the couple outside.
• "What exactly happened?" Stan demanded, turning to face the lead bodyguard. His face twisted in anger as he readied a menacing aura.
• The lead bodyguard, Tad Moore, was a former special forces operative. This man was significantly more skilled than the average soldier.
• He replied calmly, "I spoke with Simba from The Lizard and combined the words of the of the bodyguards who were with Mr. Neil. It appears Mr. Neil took a fancy to a woman and was then crippled by a man."
• Patricia was seething with rage after she got the full story. She screamed, "I want him dead! That b*stard must pay for this!"
• Stan, though more composed, agreed with his wife. He ordered Tad, "Find out who did this. I want whoever did this to my son to pay."
• In the summer season, the dawn arrives particularly early. A ray of sunlight filtered through the window, casting a warm glow inside.
• Winona, who was lying in bed, slowly opened her eyes. A sharp, unbearable pain coursed through her body, causing her to wince. She vaguely recalled the events of the previous night, memories that left her feeling helpless and lost.
• She turned to look at the man who lay next to her. He was handsome and smiled as if dreaming of something pleasant. The sight of the scars crisscrossing his chest was horrifying. Could he be a dangerous person?
• Winona tried to push herself up from the bed and leave, but the pain was too intense. Last night had been too wild, leaving her unable to even get out of bed. She felt a bitter sadness welling up inside, tears streaming down her cheeks.
• His biological clock prompted Lewis to slowly open his eyes. The sight of the bright red stain on the sheets was jarring, as was the struggling Winona next to him.
• Lewis offered an awkward smile, as he had no idea she had been a virgin. He had suspected as much the night before, but in the heat of the moment, he was driven by desire and hadn't been able to stop himself.
• Winona sat silently on the bed, tears falling.
• She's not thinking of doing something drastic, is she?
• As he stealthily studied Winona, she suddenly pulled all the covers over herself, leaving Lewis naked body exposed to the air. With no other choice, he got up and got dressed. Then he headed to the bathroom to wash up.
• Returning from the bathroom, Lewis spoke to Winona, "If you have any requests, let me know. If I can fulfil them, I will."
• "Bring me some clothes and help me up," Winona replied icily. Last night had been too wild; her clothes were unusable, and her whole body ached with no strength left.
• A hotel like the Glacier Hotel provided everything a guest needed. Lewis called the front desk to request a set of women's clothing, including undergarments, and then helped Winona to the bathroom.
• As he helped her up, the scent of her unique fragrance nearly caused Lewis to lose control once more. She was incredibly alluring.
• Fifteen minutes later, the hotel staff delivered the clothes. Lewis handed them to Winona, who was waiting in the bathroom.
• When Winona emerged from the bathroom, Lewis couldn't help but swallow hard. Tall and with sexy curves, standing at 5′8″, Winona's stern expression added to her overall aura of elegance and aloofness. She was the epitome of a dignified, icy queen.
• In this day and age, beautiful women are everywhere, but ones with real presence are exceedingly rare. Winona was definitely one of those rare gems.
• Winona looked at Lewis. Her tone carried a hint of arrogance as she declared, "Now, we need to have a talk."
• Lewis felt a bit dissatisfied. After all, he had saved her life. Although they ended up in bed together, she didn't have to be so cold. He replied, "What do you want to talk about? Do you want me to take responsibility and marry you?"
• A flicker of displeasure crossed Winona's face. She bit her lip, but quickly masked her irritation. She walked over to the sofa, sat down, and crossed her right leg over her left. She said, "That's right. We're getting married immediately. But first, we need to agree on three rules."
• Lewis had expected her to be upset at his casual remark, but not this script. Marriage? He had never considered that, but he decided to listen to her conditions.
• "Alright, since I'm a responsible man, and since I've slept with you, tell me your demands," Lewis responded playfully.
• This jerk! How could he say that so bluntly? Winona thought. She felt both annoyed and embarrassed. Someone like him had taken her most precious possession, but she needed to deal with her family's pressure to get married, so she decided to tolerate it.
• Winona then laid out three conditions.
• "First, we will be married for three years. After three years, we will divorce. During this period, we must not have any intimate relationships.
• "Secondly, after marriage, we must not interfere in each other's private lives. We both have the right to pursue our own happiness.
• "Thirdly, besides our parents, no one else can know about our relationship. And at specific times, you must cooperate with me to visit my parents."
• Lewis pondered her conditions. Getting married without being together and dealing with her parents would definitely be a challenging situation. He couldn't agree to it.
• "I can't agree to your demands. If you want me to take responsibility, we can get married, but I really can't meet those conditions," Lewis shook his head and refused.
• "Do you want me to accuse you of raping? I still have evidence inside me. You just said you'd do anything I asked. Are you going back on your word now? Besides, can't you try to win me over in these three years?" Winona's face turned red as she spoke, realising how forward she sounded.
• Lewis was stunned by her words. Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind before he finally nodded and agreed to her absurd conditions.
• When they left the city hall, Lewis finally learned that the beauty he had just married was Winona Tate. She was 24 years old and the CEO of Saffron Group, a company specialising in cosmetics. He stared at the marriage certificate in his hand and was amazed that he had been forced into a flash marriage.
• But having such a great wife wasn't bad, and she had a company too. Sacha was about to graduate from Oakdale University. Maybe she could come work at her company as well.
