Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO 167
The day was finally here. The day Jaxon would stake his claim on Ruby in public. He had prepared a press conference with a few reporters who were well-known in the industry. He wanted to get the news out there fast. After the whole contract issue, his PR suggested that the best way to completely bury the issue was to come out in public and explain everything to the people. He had finished getting dressed in a cream-colored three-piece suit with a beautiful red tie and was seated in the living room waiting for Ruby to come down. Ruby slowly made her way in her beautiful silk red gown, it glowed like embers in the dim light of the room. The fabric draped around her curves, hugging her form in a way that is both tantalizing and elegant. The hem swept across the floor as she moved with a seductive and elegant grace. Her hair was beautifully coiled, and each strand was neatly styled as they framed her face, bringing out the beauty of her small face. Jaxon heard the soft

"Can you drive a little faster?" Jaxon told the driver as he tried his best to reign in his voice. Worry was the least way to describe what he was feeling. He glanced at Ruby who was sprawled across his lap passed out. She seemed a bit pale to him and it was now he noticed how unwell she looked. She passed out, he told himself, yet he still found it hard to believe even though she was right in front of him. She had been completely fine before the press announcement, and she wasn't sick beforehand, so he couldn't chuck it up to her being ill. Or was it that the press announcement had taken its toll on her and her body couldn't handle it? So many possibilities crossed his mind but he couldn't be sure of any one of them until they got to the hospital which they should have reached but the driver and the traffic were pissing him off. "What's the hold-up?" He said not bothering to hold back the bite in his voice. "I'm sorry sir, it's the traffic." The driver let out and

Chapter 169 Jaxon spent the next hour assuring Ruby that he wasn't mad at her and that he wanted to have the baby. The doctor had given them the permission to leave the hospital since there really wasn't anything wrong with Ruby. He had however told them that she should take it easy for a couple of days so she would not pass out again. They left the hospital and the car ride home had been shorter and thankfully without any hiccups along the way. Ruby had remained quiet throughout and simply stared out the window. He noticed this and took her hand and squeezed to let her know he was there and that she could rely on him. She glanced at him and smiled before squeezing his hand back. Immediately they pulled up at the house, they were ambushed at the door and congratulations followed with some pats on the back. He was afraid it would overwhelm Ruby since he didn't give her a heads up before coming home but she seemed to be doing fine. He had told Keith and Damon t

Chapter 170 The news hit Jaxon hard. His face drained of color as he struggled to wrap his head around the truth that had just been revealed. It seemed impossible, unreal even. How was it possible that she was alive? He had seen the evidence of her suicide, and even though he suspected that it was suspicious, he was not expecting this result. “What are you talking about Damon? She committed suicide, you showed me the evidence! How is this possible?” Jaxon asked in disbelief. He struggled to make sense of the whole situation. “It’s all fake. I also couldn’t believe it at first but she is alive and well.” Jaxon knew something was wrong somewhere. “What happened? How did you come across her?” Jaxon asked. “I don’t know what happened, I wanted you to interrogate her yourself. She is currently in my custody.” Jaxon ran his hand through his hair. He groaned as he stared at Damon intensely. “I need to see her. Take me to where you kept her.” Damon nodded his head. Jax

Chapter 171Jaxon gently helped Serena to sit back on the bed and passed her his handkerchief. She sniffled as he collected it and used it to gently wipe her tears and snot. He motioned for Jaxon to pass him the glass of water that was on the bedside drawer. Jaxon took off the lid and passed the water to Serena, she collected it and drank the water in large gulps. She held the glass tightly with both hands and rested it on her lap. When Jaxon felt like she had calmed down enough to start talking he started asking her questions. “What happened? How and why did you disappear at the very last moment? I looked all over for you, I had my men searching for you but they couldn’t find you. Did you run away on your own accord or were you forced to?” Jaxon asked all the questions that were disturbing him. He wanted to know she had managed to stay off the radar for so long and why she came back looking so battered and bruised. “I did not run away Jaxon, I was kidnapped. Why would I run away

Chapter 172 Jaxon had found out so many things had happened right under his nose, and he was at the center of it. Yet he had been unaware of everything. He glanced out the window of his car and stared absentmindedly at the sky. The sky had since gone dark and he could see some stars twinkling. He had spent longer than he planned to outside, and he hoped Ruby didn't wait up for him. She was pregnant and needed all the rest she could get. He got to the house, and he noticed there were no lights on, so he assumed Ruby had gone to bed. That thought lasted only a couple of minutes because he found Ruby waiting for him in the living room. "What are you doing here so late, you're supposed to be resting." Jaxon scolded at Ruby's figure curled up in her favorite chair. He sighed out frustrated because he didn't want to take his anger out on her. " Where's my grandfather? He already left?" He asked in a calmer voice and he got a nod from Ruby. "I think he was burnt out from a

Chapter 173 Jaxon froze. He hadn't even thought that Ruby would be interested in knowing where he had been. But now that he thought about it, he and Damon had left without much explanation and it was only natural to be curious. He remained quiet not because he didn't have what to say but because he didn't know how tosay it. He was caught between telling Ruby the truth or brushing the situation off like it was nothing. "Jaxon," she whispered in a bid to get his attention but he was still lost in his head. He didn't want to pour the news of Serena and June on Ruby, especially since she was pregnant. He felt it would stress her out and she didn't need that right now, or ever really. Bothering her was the last thing on his mind. Ruby squeezed his arm to get his attention once again and he was forced to look at her. "Jaxon, I know you're hiding something from me." True. "And it only makes sense that whatever it is you're hiding is connected to why you and Damon left th

Jaxon held Ruby’s waist as he led her through the graveyard. She tightly pressed her body into his as they passed various marble graves. The place was well taken care of. She could tell from how clean the headstones looked, there was not a speck of dust,the lush green grass was properly trimmed and there were vibrant flowers around. A testament that it was a place where the rich and affluent were put to rest in splendor. Jaxon stopped In front of a marble graveyard. It was gleaning under the sunlight and Ruby’s eyes burned when she looked at the headstone. She read her sister’s tombstone and tears started to fall from her eyes. Ruby’s heart felt heavy with grief as she stood before Kimberly’s grave. She wasn’t expecting herself to feel so much sadness over the woman that tried to kill her. She pulled away from Jaxon and walked closer to the grave. Her tears kept falling as she wept for her sister, she wept for the life she had lost, she wept for their relationship that had gone so

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
