Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO 157
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

Jaxon's mind was running in circles as he pulled up at the house. He had told Ruby he would handle the press and he did just that when he had called Damon and told him to get all news of them off the press. They had succeeded at first when all articles were removed and things had gone quiet. But that was only for a few hours.What Jaxon wasn't capable of stopping was word of mouth. People still talked about the articles, and before he knew it, new, more outrageous articles and magazines had come up with a more scandalous version of the story. They had written something about Ruby being a prostitute and secret employee of his whom he had paid to keep other women off his back because he didn't actually want to get married and wanted to change women as often as he liked. And that was the least scandalous story of the bunch. The truth of the matter was in there somewhere but it had quickly been distorted with the amount of lies being added to the story. He had to give it to the press,

Ruby was terrified and her heart pounded so loudly in her chest that she could hear it. Why had she come here? She thought as her eyes watered and tears flowed down her cheeks in steady streams.She glanced at Kim who was staring at her with a psychotic look in her eyes. She had never seen Kim like that before. Hair in disarray, malnourished and looking all around tattered. She didn't even dare to look Kim directly in her eyes for fear that it would anger her."Kim, please don't do this." She whispered. She couldn't even breathe properly because she feared the knife Kim held against her throat would cut her."Shut up! You are in no position to be demanding for anything." Kim hissed with so much anger that Ruby could not recognize the voice of her sister anymore."Please Kim, I'm begging you. You don't have to do this. We can talk about this, we-" "Quiet!" Kim yelled furiously and Ruby felt the knife as it dug into her throat slightly. Ruby felt the stinging pain of her injury and c

Jaxon’s eyes were filled with worry as he caught Ruby in his arms, his hands trembling with fearand desperation as he tried to stop the flow of blood with the sleeve of his shirt.His eyes are wide with panic, his mind a hurricane of questions and worries as he holds her close, her body limp and vulnerable in his arms.Jaxon started to panic as her blood slowly soaked his sleeve and he quickly took off his suitjacket. He used it to press the injury to stop the bleeding. He was worried but also glad that the knife cut was not deep.After the bleeding stopped Jaxon stood up with Ruby nestled in his arms as he rushed out of the house. Jaxon was anxious as he ran to the car.Ruslan didn’t notice he was back until he kicked the car with his foot. He ran out of the car and gasped in shock when he saw Jaxon holding a bloodied Ruby.He quickly opened the door for him and ran back to the driver's seat.“Which hospital sir?” Ruslan asked.“Is that even a question? Just drive damn it.” Jaxon

Ruby was sad. Jaxon could tell even though she always pretended to be okay and happy. Half of the time, she was lost in her head, thinking and daydreaming, and sometimes, she could see the guilt and tears she tried so desperately to hide from him. She was affected by Kimberly’s death and even though Jaxon had seen it coming he still felt sad and angry. He was annoyed at the fact that Ruby was mourning for someone who had gone through so much to make her life a living hell. He was annoyed that she still cared about a person that almost killed her. He wondered how one could be so soft-hearted and strong at the same time. It was one of the qualities he loved most about her but he hated this time around. She tried to appear strong and unaffected before him but Jaxon could see the sadness buried deep within her eyes. And he tried to calm everything down before she fully recovered so she didn’t have another thing to worry about. The news of their contract had died

Pregnant? No, no, no... It's just not possible. It can't be. A million thoughts ran through Ruby's head at the possibility that she could be pregnant. Jaxon had been careful, but her? She didn't want to think too far, maybe Nana was just saying things and it had to be just wishful thinking on Nana's part. She couldn't be pregnant, Ruby thought, yet a sinking feeling in her chest told her otherwise. Her hands went clammy as she remembered she hadn't taken the birth control pills Jaxon had given her. She couldn't exactly recall why but she did change out the pills and started taking vitamins instead. Ruby's heart missed a beat as she thought of where actually being pregnant would lead to. She didn't even want to imagine it. What would Jaxon think? She was sure that an argument had occurred between them relating to the very issue of kids where Jaxon had told her he wasn't ready to have kids yet. Damn it, was she even ready to have kids herself? She highly doubted it

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
