Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO 99
Jaxon’s breath hitched as he watched Ruby slowly walk down the stairs. He felt like he couldn’t breathe as he stared at her angelic features.It looked like she was walking in slow motion and her heels made a sweet clicking sound as she walked.She stood before him and he felt like locking her up and never allowing her to walk out.“You look amazing Ruby,” Jaxon said in a deep voice and Ruby felt goosebumps ruse on her skin.She was wearing a dazzling red gown that shimmered under the light. The color contrasted beautifully with her pale skin. She had on very light makeup and her hair was packed in a sleek ponytail.“Thank you.” Ruby smiled as she laced their hands together and walked to the awaiting car outside.They got to the party venue and it was one of the hotels that belonged to Jaxon. Ruby was mesmerized by the decor and architectural design of the hotel as their way to the ballroom.The bodyguards bow as they step through the grand entrance, they are greeted by a sea of rich

Ruby knew it, she always had. The fact that June didn't bother to hide that she was pining after Jaxon like he was the only man in the world irritated her. And now, here she was at the party playing a mini hostess which made her angrier than she already was."You know, you really have no shame going after a married man like that." Ruby fired at June after they stepped aside to "talk"."Oh, so you want me to give you a trophy because you're married to him?" June scoffed in question. Her eyes traveled down Ruby's body and she snared."You're not anything special because you are married to Jaxon." June spat out after she had finished sizing her up. Ruby couldn't believe what she was hearing. Blood rushed to her ears as she stared at June in pure fury.Ruby knew where she came from and she knew that Jaxon was over a million times richer than her, but Ruby always prided herself that she was humble and had a strong sense of self and she would be damned if she let some insecure woman take it

Time had passed gradually and people had started to look around. Jaxon looked around too and wondered where Ruby had walked off to. She had been with him not so long ago but now he couldn't seem to see her anywhere.He thought nothing of it and assumed she was in a corner of the room where he couldn't see her. He zeroed back in on the conversation with Damon and lost himself in it. After he made rounds around the hall and had a few talks with some people he couldn't talk to before. At the same time, he kept an eye out for Ruby because he had started to get worried.He had taken a break from mingling when Damon came to find him."Your grandfather is wondering where Ruby is." Damon informed him in a hushed tone. Jaxon frowned then pulled out his phone. His eyebrows lifted in surprise at how late it had gotten. But he was also surprised that the time for the toast had rolled around and Ruby was nowhere to be found."I can't find Ruby." He told Damon firmly."I can't either, I checked be

“I’m so sorry.” Ruby pleaded as she walked up to a fuming Jaxon.“You’re sorry? Is that all you have to say after bailing on all of us?” Jaxon glared at her and Ruby’s eyes widened as she stared at him wide-eyed.“I didn’t bail on you. I don’t know what happened but the restroom door was locked when I tried to go out.” Ruby explained.“If you didn’t want to you could have just said so why do you have to make up excuses? This is one of the best hotels in the whole city, Ruby so there is no way the lock is faulty.” Jaxon angrily spat out and Ruby stared at him in disbelief.“Why would I lie to you? You need to believe me, I was locked in the restroom!” Ruby exclaimed“If you didn’t want to do it you could have just said so instead of leaving when we needed you.” Jaxon sighed.Ruby didn’t know how to feel as she stood alone, why was Jaxon not listening to her and blaming her for something she didn’t do?“Babe you know that I’ll never want to do anything that would make you feel bad, I’m

They came back home and after freshening up they were both in the living room cuddled up on the couch watching an action movie that Ruby randomly picked off Netflix.She hugged Jaxon tightly as he played with her soft locs. He loved how soft her hair was and enjoyed playing with it. He didn’t know why but he felt calm whenever he played with her hair.Ruby’s mind was filled up with all that transpired that evening. She couldn’t get herself to focus on the movie or the soft touches of Jaxon.She knew she had every right to be angry but she still felt bad looking at things from Jaxon and Keith’s perspective. It’s reasonable that they all thought she ran out of fear since it was a well-known fact that she had always been an ordinary girl who hated drama and crowds.She felt bad and squirmed in Jaxon’s Embrace.“Is everything okay Gem?” Jaxon whispered softly.“I just feel so bad about what happened at the party today,” Ruby replied sadly.“I already told you it’s fine Ruby. Just forget

The morning sky was a brilliant blue and it wasn't as cloudy as the news forecast had suggested. It wasn't going to rain today and the weather was just perfect for taking a walk. Too bad the last thing on Ruby's was walking.She had woken up today with the determination to leave but she still found herself idling about. She needed to knock herself out of it because she couldn't stay. Not anymore. The contract between her and Jaxon had ended today and she wanted to make the move out on her own with dignity rather than to allow Jaxon to throw her out.She hadn't seen him today and her heart clenched with the thought that he couldn't even grace her with his presence. Last night, she had dreamt that Jaxon had begged her not to go and she had felt so content. Only to wake up this morning with her happiness snatched away from her.She had a few things packed nights ago so she only really needed to grab them and go. She glanced at the room she had grown to love and felt her heart constrict

"I do." Jaxon breathed out so low she could barely hear him."What?" She asked in shock. Was she hearing what she thought she was hearing?"I said I do Ruby. I love you so fucking much." He said in a firmer voice. Ruby seemed to have frozen in time as she processed what Jaxon had said. Jaxon had said he loved her. He loved her. Those three words repeated in her head over and over again as her heart swelled with happiness."Tell me again." She demanded breathlessly. Jaxon gave her a dazzling smile and at that moment, she knew she was the luckiest girl in the world."I love you, Ruby." He said, his words much slower than before. Ruby's heart fluttered and she suddenly felt shy under his gaze with the way he was looking at her."And don't even think of leaving me again." He told her."I won't." She whispered to him. His hands were wound tight around her waist as he pulled her close to him."I won't let you leave especially now that you've managed to work your way through my heart, and th

Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO Epilogue
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 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
