Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO 176
Jaxon's phone pinged beside him and he reached a handout and felt around his bedside table. His phone screen flashed and he squinted his eyes as the light from it nearly blinded him. He saw it was still quite early in the morning but he still considered it late. What had he set an alarm for again?He couldn't remember why he had set it or it could be that he was still groggy from sleep and that was why he couldn't remember. He glanced at the time again to make sure he wasn't seeing things but the time hadn't changed. To the average man, that was an early time to wake up but to him, it was late. He was usually up before then and he wondered why he had slept longer.He stretched his body on the bed and felt so refreshed. He hadn't slept that well in a while. Beside him, Ruby was still fast asleep and he took pleasure in just watching her sleep. He abandoned his phone back on the bedside table and scooted over until he was right next to her. He placed an arm around her to pull her close

"What?" Ruby blinked."Really, you're not joking right?" She was still evidently shocked."I wouldn't joke with a matter as serious as this." He told her firmly. The idea of going to see June had been in his mind for days and he had finally decided to stop pushing it back and take the bull by the horns."You're going to see her today?" Ruby asked him and he nodded. He knew June would be in her office today and he wondered what he would say to her when he got there. He also thought about how June seemed to trust herself and her plan so much that she actually didn't consider him finding out about what she had done."I am." He replied simply."Does she know you're coming to see her?" Ruby asked again and he shook his head."She doesn't, that would take the element of surprise away and I want her to be unsettled when I talk to her. That way she would speak freely and out of turn." Jaxon explained to Ruby. He wanted June surprised so that when he sprang up on her, she would be flustered an

"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

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

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
Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO Ruby
"Get ready to pick up your sister's corpse the next time you come to the hospital!" The voice from the other end of the line barked at Ruby, causing a cold shiver to run down her back. "Wha-what?" Ruby muttered. "What do you mean by corpse?"""I'm afraid your sister's treatment has been put on hold due to unpaid bills, Miss Ruby." The nurse replied with a much sharper tone now.Ruby sighed, tears welling up in her eyes. "Please, I'm begging. Don't take her off treatment, you know she needs it, Ma'am""If you think I'd keep giving her drugs and injections when you are yet to pay the money you owe the hospital, and risk losing my job, then you need to have a rethink, Miss Ruby!""I'll try to pay up, just don't abandon her in that state, please""My hands are tied. You need to pay before anything else can be done. Do you want to see her dead?""No!" Ruby cried out."Then, pay your debt so we can resume treatment on her!" With that, the call ended..Tears streamed freely out of Ruby's

Chapter 2"Tell me, Ruby!" The male voice behind her said, "Are you selectively deaf? I'm certain you heard me quite well."Slowly, she swung around to face the man. There was an obvious look of disdain on his face. He raised a finger and flicked it at her, urging her to edge close to him. Ruby was stunned, barely able to believe what was happening. Did he just agree to make her his wife in exchange for any money she requests for? She was at a loss at whether to cry or smile, rather she remained numb, staring down at the man. "If we will pull this off, you need to stop acting like an aged donkey!" The man snapped.She nodded. "I asked earlier, what gave you the courage to approach me?" "You look like a man in need of a wife," Ruby stated bluntlyThe man frowned. He cast a glance at his wristwatch, and let out a long hiss. She was right. He needed a wife. The woman he had agreed with to sign the documents with him had stood him up, even after he explained how important it was.

Chapter 3"Don't give me that look!" Jaxon said sharply as he shoved his phone into his pockets. "You look like you've just seen a ghost!"Ruby swallowed hard. "Don't you want to leave? Get into the car, let's drop you off at the restaurant""Oh-yeah," She muttered and went in.After the driver drove for some minutes, Jaxon broke the silence in the car. "Have this!" He said, handing his phone to her.Her right eyebrow shot up, "Why?""Take this!" He said with impatience, "Ruby, one rule you must obey as long as we interact is to do whatever I say. Now, get this phone!" His voice was firmerWith shaky hands, she collected the phone, eying him. The other men in the car were silent and a soft music played in the car radio."Now, input your phone number in there." He said.She nodded and started to punch her number in, eager to please him. He had such a controlling aura that left her with no choice than to do whatever he wanted. He snatched the phone from her and saved her number."Wha
