Working for a large company had more cons than pros. I was just a regular employee trying to make my way to the top where I could eventually achieve my dreams of being rich and successful. But for a lone wolf like me, in a man’s world, too hard. Here I was, an investor trying to carve my way into the big boys club.
I worked hard; I also got appreciation for my work but it never helped me rise up the ranks. It’s been 4 years since I was slogging myself day and night in this company but I never succeeded. I almost decided to leave this company as there was nothing left for me here but then everything changed. One day we were called to our boss’s cabin, where we learned about a new project for a big-shot client who was known to be a ruthless CEO. He was extremely successful and everyone knew him for the empire he had built. He was also known to get what he wanted. We were all called to work jointly on this project.
There were countless meetings, researches, strategies etc. with the CEO. He is a grumpy old man with an enigmatic personality. He radiates strength and confidence. My boss warned us not to disappoint her at all as she is a very important part of our client portfolio. We had to bow to his every wish and we did. But I never knew that my life was about to change.
One day, the CEO came to our office, called a meeting with our boss and within no time, I was called to the cabin. I was confused and scared because if I had made a mistake it would have been my end. But surprisingly the CEO asked for my hand in marriage for his son! I was frozen but gathered my wits and asked why such a big, successful CEO would want me, no one in his family. He told me that while his youngest son had not yet made himself a man, he was still grappling with irresponsibility and immaturity. He wanted someone like me to straighten him in marriage. “I saw you when you worked, taking responsibility and working really hard to complete the project. You are a good one. You remind me of myself in my younger days.” It made me proud but I was speechless at it. I had no family other than my distant relatives who would care less to see my wedding. I asked for some time to think because it all happened suddenly to me.
Can I marry someone I don’t know much about or love? Will I be able to survive in a family that is all about fame, money and success? Plus, the thought of being with someone who doesn’t even have ambitions to begin with, terrified me. But then it hit me. Had I joined their family, I would have taken a very high position in their company because in no way do they allow the CEO’s son’s wife to work in a smaller role. If I could do things my way, I could direct myself towards wealth, fame and success. Marrying someone like that would be a big decision, I wanted to taste success once in my life. And so I did. I agreed to the marriage.
Soon, everyone in the office found out. There were rumors everywhere about how greedy and immoral I was, but I couldn’t care less. My colleagues used to envy me, now that I could easily climb the ladder of success. The wedding took place within a few months and a story was created for the media to know that we both fell in love while working on a project together. His son was overseeing the project and me, an employee, charmed him with his grit and determination. Everything went perfectly well and by the end of 2018 I was married.
I have been married to the CEO’s son for more than 4 years. We are cordial towards each other but we do not love each other. We are like friends who have helped each other through difficult times. But during these 4 years, my condition reached a new level which I could never have imagined. I am very happy right now that I chose my career over love because such opportunities probably don’t come and not everyone has the courage to do so.
