Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO 136
Kim still found it hard to believe she was pregnant. Scratch that, she didn't find it hard to believe, she was just surprised it had taken all of one time for it to happen. Her heart fluttered and she felt like shouting to the world that she was carrying Jaxon's baby.She brought the report she had gotten from the hospital out of her bag and stared at it for what must have been the hundredth time. She shoved the report back into her bag and looked down at her still-flat stomach. A slow smile formed on her face as she placed a hand over her stomach. This would be her ticket to the good life, the life she wanted.Her smile broadened as she thought of the look that would be on Ruby's face when she found out. The satisfaction she would feel on kicking Ruby out would be through the roof. It would be even better if she got Ruby's beloved Jaxon to do it.Kim smiled and leaned back in her seat. Very soon, the man and everything that came with him would be hers and it rightfully should be.T

Jaxon entered the room and looked at both her and Kim. It took him only several seconds to react and he rushed up to Ruby with worry etched in his features.He hadn't paid Kim any mind and she thought of how shamelessly he could act in front of her like he hadn't just gotten her sister pregnant."Ruby, what is it? Why are you crying?" He asked her but she could only glare back at him in return. She had been crying over him since she found out and the least he could do was be honest with her. Instead, here he was, acting like nothing had happened. She wondered how she hadn't noticed any signs when she had been living under the same roof. The thought of her sister being her husband's mistress left a bitter taste in her mouth."Ruby say something, what is it? You know you can talk to me." Jaxon said softly then made a show of trying to take her into his arms. She exploded at that, not wanting his filthy hands to touch her."Don't touch me!" She told him fiercely, and she prided herself

There was pin-drop silence in the room as Ruby and Kimberly stared at Jaxon wide-eyed.Kimberly was shocked as Jaxon’s wires kept resounding in her ears. She couldn’t believe what she just heard. How was that possible?She glared at Jaxon angrily and walked over to him.“Stop lying! Why are you trying to push this on someone else?” Kimberly grabbed his arm and stared up at him with annoyance clear in her eyes.“Get your filthy hands off me if you want to see the light of the day again.” Kimberly felt a shiver of fright go up her spine but she ignored it and tightened her hold around his arm.“What do you mean by that? Why are you lying? Is it because of her? Have you forgotten how sweetly and tenderly you caressed me that day while we made love? Why are you denying our child?” Kimberly screamed in his face and Jaxon angrily clenched his fists in anger.“I’m not the father of your bastard you delusional bitch! What did you think? That you would drug me and trap me with a child? You mus

“No! It can’t be!...it’s not possible!” Kimberly muttered as her whole body shook uncontrollably.“He can’t do that to me. He must be lying. No! This can’t happen to me. I can’t be pregnant for a driver, Jaxon is just pulling my legs. He must be joking.” She was in tears as she kept shaking her head in denial. She refused to believe that her well-thought-out plan went wrong. Everything was working out in her favor so what went wrong?Ruby felt her blood boil in anger. The hurt and betrayal burned like acid in her veins, her hands curling into fists of rage as she relived the moment of discovery. She had called her husband a liar and supported her sister blindly only to find out that she had been used and betrayed.She felt like a fool, her heart twisted into a hard, cold knot of resentment.“I can’t be pregnant for a lowlife. This is not how this was supposed to play out. Jaxon is supposed to become mine.” Ruby felt bitter as each word that came out of Kim’s mouth reminded her of th

The sky had long since dimmed and faded from a blue to an orange. And now it was pitch black outside, and Jaxon was a no-show. Ruby was curled up in the same spot on a chair in the living room, and she didn't know how many hours had passed since then.She'd been crying for hours too. Her eyes were puffy and her vision was temporarily blurred. She had even run out of tears and was sniffling quietly.How could she have been so stupid? Why had she decided to believe Kim? A thousand and one thoughts ran through her mind as she recalled what had gone down between her and Jaxon. Why didn't she trust him? And now the relationship they had both suffered for was in shambles. She didn't even know where they stood anymore.Kim had told her that she had slept with Jaxon and fallen pregnant, and as naive as one could be, she had foolishly believed her without a second thought. She didn't know or even think that Kim would possibly lie to her. And she had been quick to paint her husband bad and sh

Days passed painfully slow and Ruby didn't know what to do anymore. She had hardly seen Jaxon because he was always busy, at the office, or was just somewhere that wasn't where she was. Their relationship had deteriorated and Ruby didn't know how to revive it.It was like they had gone back to square one where she loved Jaxon but he was always cold to her. He always claimed to be busy and avoided her any chance he got. He didn't kiss her anymore or hold her in his arms, she didn't even remember when they had hugged last. He'd stopped calling her his Gem as well. And that close relationship they once had seemed to be so far away. It saddened her to think about how many steps back they had gone in their relationship because of the whole pregnancy fiasco.The only thing Jaxon still did was cook for her, so maybe all hope hadn't been lost and he still cared for her. She wondered when their relationship would go back to normal and she worried it would never be the same as the chasm betw

It had been several days since the incident with Kim and Jaxon had refused to speak to Ruby. He had refused to utter even a single word to her. He didn’t look at her if it wasn’t necessary and he avoided staying in the same room as her.With each passing day, Ruby felt like she was being suffocated like her breath had been stolen from her. She felt like she had used her own hands to destroy the relationship that they had worked so hard to build.She felt pained whenever Jaxon passed her without saying a word. Her husband who used to worship the ground she walked on was now ignoring her.Ruby’s heart had shattered a thousand times as she sobbed uncontrollably. Her whole body shook as she cradled her head between her legs and cried.What if Jaxon wanted to leave her? Ruby shook her head as she cried.She can’t live one more day without hearing his voice, without him accepting her apology. She felt so stupid and useless. Jaxon had never asked her for anything and he had been loyal to her

“I’m sorry.” Ruby tightened her hold around him.“I’m so sorry.” Ruby sadly mumbled. Jaxon sighed as he softly started to pat her head.“I’m so sorry I caused you so much pain. I feel so stupid.” Ruby whispered and her whole body started to shake as her eyes teared up.Jaxon groaned as he trailed his hands up and down her back in a soothing way. If there was anything he hated more than seeing her in danger it was seeing her cry.“I’m so sorry for being such a bad wife. I should have known better and trusted you. You have never given me a reason not to trust you and I have messed up so badly at the first time of being put to the test. I should have given you the benefits of the doubt and listened to you but I was quick to judge.” Ruby was deeply saddened and disappointed in herself. She couldn’t believe that she had picked her sister’s words over his in a heartbeat.Kim had lied to her on so many occasions so why did she trust her so blindly? Why did she break the heart of her husband

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
