Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO 147
Ruby’s whole body was wrecked with shivers of fright as she dropped the phone call. She was scared.She was scared not for herself but for Jaxon. She knew how cruel life can be to the rich and Jaxon has been ruling the business world for years. She knew that he had so many enemies waiting for the right opportunity to destroy him, and with the file in Kim’s possession, that could be arranged.Ruby feared that an uproar would occur once the contents of the contract went out to the public and she could imagine how big a scandal it would turn into. The public isn't as loving as they looked and who would know better than her?People would talk and judge Jaxon without knowing his reasons, and his competitors would use the opportunity to run him out of business. She could picture his shareholders withdrawing from the company and leaving him bankrupt.Ruby couldn’t allow that to happen. She felt a headache coming up and blinked her eyes repeatedly to clear her fogged-up vision.She knew she h

Ruby was tired. Physically and mentally. Why was it that when her life was finally focusing on the right path, something would borrow through and throw her in for a loop? She sighed as she thought about her current predicament with Kim and she was hurt and angry. Those two emotions fought for dominance within her but neither had succeeded. She was hurt because it was her sister who was causing her so much pain, and she wondered if she ever really knew Kim. She couldn't believe Kim would blackmail her and threaten to ruin her life all for money. Was Kim really that shallow?Anger also came into play when she thought about the fact that she hadn't destroyed that stupid contract when it had officially ended. If she had, none of this would be happening to her right now. The fact that it was Kim who was using the contract against her didn't help one bit, because if you had a sister like that, then who needed enemies?She hadn't even told Jaxon about all that was happening to her because

Ruby couldn't believe her current predicament. More like she couldn't believe how Kim could be so shameless. She had thought that the worst Kim could do had passed after she had blackmailed her for money by using the contract. But who knew Kim was just getting started and that she planned to milk Ruby and the situation dry with the damned contract.Ruby cursed the day she had left the contract in that house. She didn't even know why she had not gotten rid of hers. She knew Jaxon must have destroyed his, more so when they decided to stay together which rendered the contract useless.Ruby glanced at her phone and nearly groaned out loud as she looked at the multiple missed calls Kim had given her because of money. She hadn't even given Kim money long ago, so she wondered how she could have gone through it so fast. She had given her a hefty sum too, so unless Kim was living like a millionaire wherever she was, it wasn't possible for her to run through the money that fast. Or was she sav

This was one of the most quiet rides Ruby had ever been on as she sniffled from time to time. Jaxon seemed to get her as well as he didn't bother her either. She curled up on the chair of the car in nothing but her dress, which was torn thanks to that Ape of a man, as well as Jaxon's jacket, which he'd shrugged off and given her on their way home.Ruby was over everything. She was tired physically and mentally and just wanted to go home. But what she mostly felt was irritation. She absolutely hated the way her skin was marred because of the way the man roughly handled her and she hated the smell most of all. Her skin still reeked of the man's scent and she nearly gagged if she thought about it too much.She couldn't also believe her sister had masterminded the whole plan and had really set her up to fail. How can someone be so heartless as to get their own sister kidnapped and almost raped?She wondered if she had ever truly known Kim because never in a million years would she have

But some particular ones were prominent on her body.When the doctor told him, he felt like beating the man all over again.

Two days of him watching Ruby mope around the house. She had been recovering well, thankfully, he could see her bruises fade from a deep purple, and they were now slightly yellow. Aside from her physical injuries healing, he hadn't noticed much change in her behavior. He had asked the doctor who told him it was her way of coping and that she would go back to normal with time. But he didn't want to wait, he
