Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

"Don't talk back to me, Oscar! You should leave the matter of finding the best match for you to me!" Greta looked at her son with a glint of sharp eyes. The quarrel between mother and son looked more like two mortal enemies!

Lisa couldn't sleep peacefully. Her feelings were disturbed by the feud of mother and son downstairs. The woman got up from the bed and went out of the room. Lisa deliberately overheard Greta and Oscar's conversation. She frowned when she heard the two of them speak. It looked like they were talking in a language that was very foreign to Lisa's ears!

Even though she didn't understand anything, Lisa still watched the two people in the living room from the second floor. She tried to guess what Oscar and her mother were talking about.

"Remember 5 years ago, Oscar! Don't you forget about it!"

Lisa saw the middle aged woman point her five fingers at Oscar's face. She guessed, something happened to Oscar five years ago. Or did those five fingers mean 5 days ago? Lisa didn't know for sure but she believed it had something to do with Oscar's past.

"Mom please don't bother me and Lisa. She is my wife, your daughter-in-law!" Oscar shouted aloud. The man became furious when he convinced his mother not to interfere with his personal affairs.

"Divorce that bitch, Oscar! You don't deserve to be married to her. Not only that, she doesn't deserve to be a member of the Petersson family!" his mother shrieked.

"Lisa is my wife, period! Mama can't force me to divorce her!" Oscar replied loud in English. Lisa heard the sentence and her heart felt relieved. She was touched by Oscar's words just now. A tear slowly rolled down her cheek. Although Lisa was not a woman of European blood, she was Oscar's legal wife so she had to learn to face reality.

Greta was getting more and more furious to see her own son going against her. She didn't expect her son would prefer to listen to that lowly woman than his own biological mother!

"Remember 5 years ago, Oscar! Your ex-girlfriend when you were studying in Sweden! She is Indonesian just like your wife! Try to remember what she did to you Oscar. That woman is attracted to you because she wants the Petersson family fortune. Are you still denying it Oscar!?"

"Don't bring up Clara's name just to break my marriage with Lisa! It's already in the past, Ma! Clara can't be compared to Lisa!"

Lisa was surprised to hear the name Clara. Who was that woman? Lisa's heart was pounding even more. Her long fingers began to tremble.

"Then why did you marry that woman Oscar?! What's so special about her?" Greta asked fiercely.

"Lisa is pregnant with my child, Ma! I can't just divorce her, I can't just leave her as you wish!"

Hearing her son's words, Greta's eyes widened in shock. Her thin lips fell open, stunned, unable to believe what she had just heard.

"You married her because that bitch is pregnant?!!" She screamed with rage. "What a shame! You have tarnished the Petersson family's good name!"

"See, this is why Papa didn't tell you when I was going to marry Lisa. Mama would have confronted me and told me to leave Lisa abandoned without a husband!"

Greta took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She returned to sit on the sofa. Her eyes were closed as she tried to calm herself after hearing her son's embarrassing words. "Mama doesn't agree with you marrying that slut! The child that the prostitute is carrying is an illegitimate child, I don't want to be their grandmother!"

Greta looked at her son with a cold and cruel gaze. "After the child is born, I want you to divorce her immediately! Give her a lot of money so she will leave you. People like Lisa only want our family's money Oscar! Keep that in your mind!"

"Mama, you aren't like the person I used to know! Since when did Mama become this cruel and heartless? Do you have the heart to let Lisa be abandoned to be a single parent? Do you have the heart to make your son a widower without children?"

"Oh so you'd rather tarnish the Petersson family's name than throw that bitch away? Okay if that's what you want!"

"I hope Mama is kidding this time!" Oscar snapped irritably.

"I'm serious, Oscar! In the name of the Petersson family, Mama wouldn't accept Lisa's presence in our family. Never!" The golden haired middle-aged woman stepped to the exit and left. The living room was suddenly silent and awkward. Oscar was still sitting on the living room sofa and pondering.

He thought for a moment, would he better listen to his mother's order and divorce Lisa after their child was born? But in the marriage agreement, the custody of the child fell completely to him. He didn't want his child to be rejected by Greta and live in misery. Oscar's mind was very chaotic, his mother's arrival reminded him that she wouldn't give up interfering with his personal life.

From the second floor, Lisa returned to her room when Oscar got off the sofa and climbed the stairs. Lisa went back to bed and pretended to read a book. The heated conversation between Greta and Oscar made her mind even more unsettled. What if Oscar really wanted to divorce her? What if her mother-in-law hated her for life and tortured her while she was with Oscar?

A moment later, Oscar came and approached Lisa who was reading a book on the bed. He looked at his wife with a worried face. The man put his bag by the door and hung his coat on a hanger near the bathroom.

Lisa got up from the bed. She walked toward Oscar with unsteady steps. The woman's face looked very haggard. Tears were shed from both of her eyes. She hugged her husband tightly. The scent of Oscar's expensive perfume filled her sense of smell.

Lisa missed the smell of Oscar perfume. For the past three months, her husband had rarely come home. The nights at their house were very lonely. Even though her husband was cold and cruel sometimes, she didn't know what got into her that she kept missing this man more than anything!

The man held his wife tightly and affectionately. His slender fingers gently combed Lisa's long black hair. He kissed Lisa's forehead with all his heart.

"Oscar, your mother... Is she..." Lisa asked, her voice was choking.

"She's gone, take it easy dear," the man interrupted before Lisa could finish her sentence. "I promise to protect you from her,"

"I really miss you Oscar... I hope you are too..." cries suddenly broke out in the room. Oscar carried Lisa back to bed. He laid down his wife gently and kissed her.

"Lisa, Mama didn't hurt you, right? You're not hurt, are you?" Oscar asked while staring into Lisa's dark eyes closely.

Lisa didn't know whether to answer with the truth or not. What was clear was that she was very offended by the insults coming from her mother-in-law earlier. How could anyone be as cruel and arrogant as her mother-in-law? Even her biological mother was very kind and attentive to Oscar.

"Your mother mocked and called me 'bitch' and 'slut'" Lisa cried in her husband's arms.. The woman started sobbing.
