My Cold CEO Husband | Learn English Through Story Level 2 | English Stories | Graded Reader (B1/B2)

I stand in a white dress. Today is my wedding day, but I do not smile. The room is cold and quiet. I look at the mirror. My dress is beautiful, but I feel like I wear black. This is not a happy day. This feels like a funeral. I walk down the hall. My shoes make small sounds.

I see him at the end. Adrian King waits for me. He is tall and handsome. His suit is perfect. His face is like stone. He does not smile either. We stand together. The man reads words. Adrian says, "Yes." I say, "Yes." Our voices are flat. There is no love here. There is no

happiness. This is business. He needs a wife. I need revenge. I look at his eyes. They are cold and gray. He looks at me, but sees nothing. I am just a name on paper. He marries me for business reasons. He does not care about me. That is good. I do not care about him either. But that

is a lie. I do care. I hate him. I hate him so much. My heart burns with it. Because of him, my father died. Because of him, I lost everything. I remember that day. It was 3 years ago. My father came home early. His face was white. His hands shook. He sat down and

cried. I asked him what happened. He said he lost his job. King Group fired him. Adrian King signed the paper. My father was a good man. He worked hard for 20 years. He gave everything to that company, but they threw him away. They did not care. Adrian King did not care. Two weeks later,

my father died. His heart stopped. The doctor said it was stress. But I know the truth. Adrian King killed him. He broke my father's heart. He took away his hope. I was alone. My mother cried every day. We had no money. We had no future. I felt so angry. I wanted to scream.
