Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO 114
Ruby was worried throughout the ride home. She felt helpless that there was nothing she could do to ease her sister's pain.She knew how painful and draining it was to be left behind by someone we loved. She had almost gone crazy the day she thought Jaxon would be getting rid of her, so she could just imagine what Kim was going through.She sighed as she stared out the window. Jaxon glanced at her dejected look and shook his head. He placed his hand on her lap and Ruby turned around to face him.“Stop worrying Gem, she is going to be fine.” Ruby sighed as the warmth of his hand slowly dipped into her skin. She placed her hand on his and intertwined them.“I know that but I can’t help it. This is the first time I’ve seen her so distraught and hurt over a relationship.” Jaxon gently squeezed her hand and Ruby smiled at the comforting feeling.“A relationship?” Jaxon’s brows furrowed. He knew his friend long enough to know that whatever he had with Kim was not a relationship.“She should

Ruby felt anxious as she lay down on the bed. Jaxon was taking a shower and she was left alone with her thoughts. She kept looking at her phone expecting a reply from Kim but there was still nothing from her side.Ruby started to feel worried. Her heart started beating faster and she could feel the anxiety increasing. Her stomach started to form tight knots, she didn’t want to be negative but she felt like something was wrong with Kim.She hurriedly opened her phone and dialed Kimberly’s number, the phone rang and Ruby felt like her heart would beat out of her chest as the phone kept ringing.Her thoughts are a whirlwind of the worst-case scenarios, her imagination running wild with images of doom and disaster. She closed her eyes to clear her mind.She dialed the number again and her chest tightened with a sense of foreboding, her heart beating erratically like a trapped bird fluttering against the cage of her ribcage.She anxiously bit her nails and just as she was about to give up

The casual buzz of people floated through the shop as Kim sipped on her latte. She had been here for over thirty minutes and was simply sitting and thinking. She observed the people at the shop, everyone had something to do, something to eat, and someone to talk to. It infuriated her that all these people could be so happy with their lives while she was in the middle of a financial crisis.She frowned especially when she noticed a few love birds all cozied up together. Kim had been here for over thirty minutes and had been nursing one drink for all that time, which was a reminder she needed to order another one.She signaled the waiter, a cute guy with wavy blond hair. If he were a few million dollars richer, she probably would have swooned over him. Her mind was whirling around when the waiter placed another piping hot latte in front of her.She didn't touch the cup immediately. Kim had come here to think and thinking was what she had been doing since she got here. The plan she had

Ophelia peeped out the window as a worried look crossed her face. Kim looked through another window and caught dozens of paparazzi vehicles on the road. Her plan had worked better than she hoped. Now all she had to do was wait then call Ruby on what was happening to her, and boom, she would get what she wanted.The paparazzi outside their door seemed to have made a deal with one another. They no longer shouted all at once but took turns yelling questions. Questions that both she and Ophelia heard."How's your relationship with your sister?!""What about the relationship between your sister and Jaxon?" "Will we soon see a baby in the mix?"There were a lot more questions that were asked but these were a few she had picked up and could remember. Frankly, Kim found their shouting and questions exhausting after only ten minutes of listening. It was now clear to Ophelia that the press was here for her but Ophelia hadn't asked her anything about it. Kim thought that Ophelia assumed the

Ruby was scared.She felt like her whole senses were shivering in fright as Jaxon drove them to the hotel. She couldn’t sit still, she kept tapping her feet on the floor and Jaxon worriedly glanced at her from time to time.“They are safe now Gem, you don’t need to worry so much,” Jaxon said softly. Ruby sighed and turned to face him. She looked like she had just seen a scary movie and Jaxon almost cursed out loud.He grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips, he placed a soft kiss and rested their intertwined hands on his laps while he drove.Ruby nodded and took a deep breath to calm herself.Jaxon parked in the hotel's parking lot and turned to Ruby. He leaned forward and unbuckled her seat belt.“I won’t be going in with you 'cause I know you’ll want to have some alone time with them. But! I don’t want you to cry when you get there, they are both fine and safe, nothing happened so don’t get too worked up. Okay?” Jaxon cupped Ruby’s cheeks and stared directly into her eyes as he

Ruby felt like she had been stabbed straight into her heart. All her life she has been nothing but an amazing sister who places the needs of her Kimberly before her own and now just because she couldn’t grant this small request she was called a bad sister.Her heart ached as she stood up from the bed. She felt a heavy headache coming on as she thought about how she was going to deal with the issue at hand.She loved Kim. After all, she was the only surviving family she had left and she had never refused to give her whatever she wanted but why won’t she understand that things are now more complicated?She couldn’t bring herself to reject her. In her eyes, Kim looked really scared and just wanted to feel safe in her sister’s company but then there was Jaxon.He has made it clear to her that he doesn’t like people invading his private space so how would she convince him to allow Kimberly to stay with them?“I’m sorry Kim, you can stay with me for as long as you want.” Ruby sighed and Kim

There was satisfaction etched in Kim as the car drove to Jaxon's house. Her plan was going just the way she wanted and she couldn't have been happier. There were a few times when she thought things wouldn't go exactly as she imagined them, but she was glad those instances worked themselves out.Kim knew that making that post and getting the paparazzi to go crazy was just a stepping stone for the main part of her plan. She had thought her plan through several times and knew that she would have to get Jaxon to like her if she was going to succeed. She had to get pregnant for him one way or the other, Kim thought to herself.Thinking about getting closer to Jaxon and actually doing were two completely different things. Kim was sure that that would be a stumbling block when she stayed with them. She had her work cut out for her because the man didn't even look at her, so talking to her was out of the question.Kim had noticed that anytime she was in his presence, or really if anyone el

Ruby left Kim alone and went to find Jaxon. He had been in a mood ever since he knew Kim would be living with them. But what could she do? She couldn't just leave her sister to fend for herself when she was potentially being stalked by the press. She had first-hand experience of what that was like and it wasn't fun. She also had the crippling fear that some bad people could use her sister to get to her then Jaxon. She didn't even want to think about it.She hadn't forgotten the shooting at the mall and how Lucas had almost died because he saved her. She would be damned if she so much as put Kim in a similar position.Ruby found Jaxon in their bedroom, theirs. Jaxon had practically demanded they share a room after they had made up. She still found it surreal how not so long ago she was prepared to leave because she thought that was what Jaxon had wanted. And now, they had made up and were closer than they had ever been. Her heart warmed at how far they had come and she couldn't have

Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO Epilogue
Epilogue."Avery, be careful with your brother, he's still too small to do that," I told my five-year-old daughter.Her brother, Jeremy was a bustling toddler who was a few weeks away from turning a year old, but even a bouncy castle was a bit too much for him."Mom, what if he goes on for a little while.""How about you both go play in the playpen instead, hmm. Where's Emerald?" Her sister wasn't anywhere I could see but I had an idea of where she could be."With Dad," Avery said then guided her brother towards the playpen.Sure enough, just out of my line of sight, Emerald was playing with Jaxon. A smile tugged at my lips as I watched them, I didn't bother interrupting and strolled back into the villa to get us some lunch.Five years might be a long time for some people but to me, it had gone by in the blink of an eye.If I had told my younger self that she would get married to one of the richest men in the country and go on to have a beautiful family, she would have probably called

"Jaxon, they are so beautiful," Ruby whispered to him as they watched their daughters sleep. It all still felt unreal to her. Just a few days ago, she still had both of them in her stomach and she had been as large as a whale. But now, she had two little humans who she called her own children.They were both their father's daughters. They had the same slightly tan skin as Jaxon with blond hair. They were identical with the exception of their eyes.One had really deep blue eyes like her and the other had lighter blue eyes like Jaxon."They are." He said."Shh, be quiet or you'll wake Emerald up," Ruby hissed as she glanced at the thankfully still-sleeping baby. Emerald was his mini-me, her eyes were the same shade as his and she had a knack for waking up at the slightest noise. Ruby knew it had been a nightmare to get her to go to bed the first two nights they had come home."Are you sure Avery won't be the one to wake up?" He said, then pointed towards the baby who was moving a lot i

The food Jaxon and Ruby were having for dinner didn't sit well with Ruby. Nothing seemed to entice these days. She was really nauseous and if she took another bite, she was sure she was going to throw it all up. Her stomach was basically at her throat so eating had become quite the hassle. And the pain she was feeling didn't help her feel any better."Something wrong with the food?" Jaxon asked, a brow raised as he popped a piece of meat into his mouth."Everything is." She sighed. She had been pushing the food around her plate for a few minutes now."So you want something else?... Are you okay, you look a bit unwell, is it the meat?" The space between Jaxon's brows furrowed as he asked her."It's not... Maybe... I don't know. I'm just feeling a bit of pain in my stomach." She told him, and as if to make a point, a sharp pain stung just below her belly button and she leaned over and expelled a deep breath."Gem?" Jaxon's voice wobbled out."Just... Give me a moment." She took deep br

Ruby and Jaxon entered the doctor's office hand-in-hand, their anticipation was not hidden as they waited for the moment when they would learn the gender of their unborn child. Ruby was vibrating with excitement and she felt like she couldn’t stand still anymore.Jaxon was no different but he was doing a great job concealing his excitement as he stared at his smiling wife.The doctor greeted them with a smile. She guided them to the exam table and started arranging the equipment for the ultrasound.“Please lay down on the bed Ruby and lift up your shirt.” Jaxon helped her to gently lay down and lifted her beautiful maternity gown. He smiled down at her and sat beside her.Ruby excitedly squeezed his hand that was in hers and Jaxon placed a soft kiss on her forehead in return. The female doctor smiled at their interaction. She could feel the love rolling off them in waves and she felt happy for them."Are you ready to find out the gender?" the doctor asked, a hint of excitement in her

Months have passed and Ruby couldn’t be happier. Things have been going well and life has been good and most importantly peaceful. It was everything she had ever wanted and today was a special day. They would finally know the gender of their baby and Ruby was excited. She couldn’t wait to know if she would be having a little prince or a beautiful princess. She smiled softly as she caressed her protruding baby bump.Ruby’s eyes were filled with a maternal glow, a soft, radiant light that speaks of the joy and anticipation that filled her heart as she gently caressed her stomach.She was standing before the large mirror in their room wearing black shorts and a sports bra.Her lips curved into a smile as she turned sideways and admired the size of her stomach, she couldn’t believe she had life growing within her. Ruby was grateful for this gift. She continued to gently use her fingers to trace her stomach as if she was touching her child. She gazed into the mirror with a look of wonder

Jaxon removed Ruby's hot mouth from him because he didn't want this to be over so soon. He wanted to do so much more.He helped Ruby to her feet and his hands immediately found her plump cheeks. He grasped them tightly, his fingers digging into her flesh then pulled her closer to him until she straddled him on the bed.His lips settled on hers again and Ruby opened her mouth to accommodate him. His tongue clashed against hers over and over again in a duel which he won. He licked around her mouth and Ruby opened it more to him as she let out a loud moan which he swallowed. He bit her bottom lip and sucked it lightly between his lips and Ruby hissed in response.His tongue, teeth, and lips all worked in unison to bring Ruby to a quivering mess of nerves. He pulled away long enough to admire the way her lips were pink and swollen. She looked very flushed, her cheeks colored and eyes glazed over in passion or need. Maybe both, since he couldn't quite tell.He placed a barely there kiss on

The clear sky had faded to a dark blue as the city shifted from day to night life. As Jaxon drove through the roads, he could see some night clubs that had started to open and some people on the streets were dressed elegantly for dinner.Jaxon was calm, or as calm as one could be after he had successfully dealt with the situation concerning June. He didn't want to think of it any longer, all he wanted to do was go home and be with his Gem.He pulled up outside the house and strolled in with the intention of surprising Ruby. But that plan changed when he got a whiff of a heavenly scent coming from the kitchen. Was that steak? The scent of roasted vegetables wafted through the air as well and he wondered what was going in the kitchen. And was Ruby making dinner?He was the one primarily in charge of cooking because Ruby didn't do so often. And he couldn't blame her either because she had a strong fear of fire and it would be cruel of him to put her in a place where she would frequently

June shivered in fear and her heart beat accelerated as she looked up at Jaxon’s darkened eyes. He looked livid.June felt like she was about to faint under his harsh eyes, he was glaring at her with so much anger that she felt light headed from the intensity of the look. Her heart was beating so wildly that it felt like she was running a marathon.June closed her eyes and tightly clasped her hands together on her laps. She took a shaky breath and gathered the courage to repeat herself.“I apologize for locking her up in the restroom on Keith’s birthday… I just wanted to show Keith that I was the better match and she was a disappointment.” June muttered and Jaxon’s nose flared up in anger. He felt like punching her right now.He had accused Ruby of lying to him that day and they even had a fight all because of her. He angrily slammed his hands on her table and June’s eyes started to fill with unshed tears as she shivered in fright.“So it was you! It was all you! How dare you! How cou

"When did you find out about the contract?" He asked and June stilled."I don't -""Don't start with that bullshit talk of you not knowing what I'm talking about. You know exactly what I'm saying and I'm not going to repeat myself." He said annoyed."I- I" she stammered and Jaxon's nose flared in irritation."Oh, and I don't have all day so don't beat around the bush. I would advise you to stop acting like a weak lamb because I know what you did. I know about Serena." He told her and watched as June's eyes widened in shock. June remained silent for a while and her mouth kept opening and closing like a fish."I-i can explain." June let out slowly after she managed to find her voice."Knock yourself out. Don't leave out any details when you're "explaining" yourself, and just so you know, I'm not going to take things lightly with you. Not after what you did. And be careful how you answer this question because your life and company are at stake here.” Jaxon warned.June was taken aback, h
