Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO 152
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

The two days that had passed had felt like a week because everything seemed to be going slowly. The doctor had come, taken care of Ruby's bruises, and said she would recover nicely and wouldn't scar. He had also said that she was mostly fine and just had minor scratches and bruises. But some particular ones were prominent on her body.When the doctor told him, he felt like beating the man all over again. His jaw ticked, and he now slightly regretted why he didn't beat the man some more because, heavens knew, the man deserved every punch he got doubled over.It had been two days. 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

Jaxon stood frozen, his face a picture of shock and horror as he watched Ruby crumble rightbefore his eyes. His gaze was fixed upon her as he fought with all the overwhelming emotions that were brewing within him.He couldn’t believe what he just heard. How is it possible that something so big was happeningand he didn’t have a clue?Jaxon felt like a failure and Ruby’s cries got louder. His hands trembled as he felt the need toconsole and protect her. His heart ached as tears kept streaming down her face, and the sound of her sobs pierced his heart.Jaxon’s heart started beating rapidly, the sound echoed in his ears and his mind was reeling with a thousand ways to get back at the person that caused his beloved so much pain.Ruby started to feel light-headed, and her legs shook as she fell to the floor. She screamed in pain and Jaxon rushed to her side. He knelt before her and pulled her into his arms as she cried.Jaxon felt helpless. He had failed to protect her.His eyes were bl

Ruby’s tears flowed freely. The pain and anguish she felt was unbearable as she desperately held onto Jaxon. She felt like she was drowning in pain and he was the only thing keeping her afloat. At that moment, Jaxon was her anchor, and the heartache she felt almost went down a notch. She greedily inhaled his fresh scent as she buried her face in his chest. Jaxon ran his fingers through her hair as she cried in his arms. “I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault. I should have done better, fought harder and made a backup plan before leaving then all of this would not have happened.” Ruby softly mumbled and Jaxon shook his head in denial. “Nothing is your fault Gem. You are the victim, you did your best to defend yourself but they played dirty and there was no way you would have known.” Ruby fought to keep herself together as the weight of his words sank into her mind and a choked sob left her mouth. The memories of the bad experience threatened to consume her and she cried uncontrollably.

After everything Ruby had told him, Jaxon couldn't find it in his heart to stay angry at her. She was scared. It touched him that she thought to protect him by doing what Kim wanted even if it put her in danger. He wasn't going to deny that it pissed him off at how Kim could come between them even when she was absent.Now that he knew exactly what was plaguing his precious Gem, he was going to deal with the problem himself, Kim. It had taken a lot for Ruby to open up and tell him what was going on and he could basically see the strength sapped out of her.He helped her to the bathroom where he bathed her. As he dried her hair, a smile curved on his lips and he thought, if only Damon could see him now, playing nursemaid. He was sure Damon would never let him hear the end of it. He shook his head from his thoughts and brought his attention back to Ruby.He settled her into the dressing table in their room and decided to brush her hair out. Aside from not speaking and eating well for d

Morning came and Jaxon went about his role of playing nursemaid. When Ruby woke up, he helped her with her bath and left her to get dressed. He got ready himself, and together they went down the stairs to the kitchen for breakfast."So what do you want?" He asked her as he brought out a pan from the cupboard."Hmm, anything's fine." She told him with a shy smile. He smiled back. He could finally see his chirpy Ruby peaking through the sad exterior she'd had on for days. She was finally smiling again and color had come back to her cheeks. Her bruises had completely faded, and she didn't hurt anymore, which he was glad about."Anything?" He asked with a raised brow and her smile broadened. "Well... How about pancakes, eggs, and sausages with a side of fruit? Oh! And could you make that chamomile tea for me?" She asked and he smirked.Her appetite was back and she could eat well again. Ruby had always been one to have a hearty breakfast and she especially loved pancakes and eggs. He w

Everything was a mess. Jaxon’s phone kept buzzing with notifications and calls and he knewthere was no turning back now. He had to take care of everything and face the problem head-on.The news was everywhere and people wanted an explanation. The media was going crazy andIn such a short period it became a hot trending topic.Ruby was anxious, she didn’t want him to leave the house. She didn’t want him to get swampedby reporters. If it was possible she wanted him to remain at home till everything died down butshe doubted if that would change anything.“It’s going to be fine Gem, I just need to go to the office and speak with the PR department toknow our next line of action. I’ll also need to speak to my lawyers and do something about your sister because she is getting out of hand.” Jaxon angrily said as he came out of the walk-in closet all dressed up for work.He could find her and kill her, but he knew Ruby still loved her stupid sister. So he would keep her behind bars for life

Ruby’s brows creased in concern, her gaze was fixed on the ceiling as she worried about Jaxon.Her lips pursed into a thin line of worry, her mind a jumbled mess of anxiety and speculations as she desperately tried to find a way to help.Ruby blamed herself for everything that was happening. If it wasn’t for her stupidity andcarelessness, Jaxon wouldn't be in this position where people were bad-mouthing him and insulting him. She blamed herself for being gullible, she regretted not bringing the contract to her marital home along with her other clothes. If only she had kept it safe, all these would not be happening. Kim would not have had the guts to blackmail her and set her up.Ruby thought about how stressed out Jaxon looked earlier. She didn’t even know how he wasdoing at the moment. She didn’t know if everything was okay at the office or if people had barged in to throw more hate comments at him.Jaxon was her life, she didn’t want anything to happen to him. Ruby desperately w

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
