Chapter 24 I do...!!

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-15 23:15:53

Ericka's point of view...

I stood trembling, staring at Nathan in utter disbelief as he casually asked me about the bite wound on his lips.

I was drunk but not him, right?

He isn't serious, is he?

My mind raced as I noticed something unbelievable in his demeanor.

Was he smiling??

This was the same Nathan who yelled at employees, radiating cold arrogance and dominance.

Flirting? It was the last thing I’d ever expected from him.

I avoided his piercing gaze like my life depended on it, feeling his eyes searching mine as if they were trying to uncover some hidden truth. I wanted to just disappear from that place. How I wished that the earth would open up and swallow me whole...!

A sudden cough broke the tense silence. Mike stood near the door, clearly amused and doing a terrible job at hiding it. I felt my cheeks burn.

This was so embarrassing...!

“I... have something to do,” he said with a poorly concealed chuckle before slipping out of the room.

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 25 Married... really...!!

    Ericka's point of view... "I do," I said, still in a delusion. Did I just say that I agree to this marriage with him?? God...! I must be going crazy...! Wasn't this all for helping me? I thought it was, but why do I feel trapped instead. Something was quite unsettling. I was unintentionally gaping at the man beside me. Where I was dying here to utter even a word, he sat back in his wheelchair without even a frown on his forehead as if this was all his arrangement, to begin with. What a calm personality...! I haven't seen him so relaxed before. I was both amused and nervous. "I do..." his voice echoed in my mind and that literally smacked me out of the daze. Nathan glanced back at me, and I saw something in his eyes, which was not at all his style when he said those words. I Do...! He was smiling??!! I might faint if all this doesn't stop right away. This was too much for a little head like me, to take in. Far too much to digest in one day. "I announce this b

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 26 This man is too stingy...!

    Author's point of view... Ericka shot Nathan a helpless glance before hanging her head, fighting back the urge to cry. She didn't know what that feeling truly was but she literally felt trapped in something even more dangerous this time. Nathan was overly domineering. It was like he had been controlling her entire world without being noticed by her. But in reality, he was trying to protect her. It's just that his way of caring was a bit different from others; people might get suffocated sometimes because of his overly domineering attitude. It was true that Ericka's family was far from being a caring and loving one. They no longer cared about her. Actually they never ever cared about her at all. Though Nathan already heard about them from his men, the way her father behaved with her earlier, left him with no other choice but to cut them off from life. He prepared his mind that he would never let any of them bully her anymore. Despite truly trying to keep her safe, he just forc

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 27 We still need her...

    Ericka's point of view... Grandma...! Everything Just blacked out as I read those words and the only thing that I thought about was my grandma. To be honest, for once, I thought that it was all Dad's plan to bring me back, but I couldn't help but feel uneasy. If there is someone other than my Mom in this entire world, then it is my grandmother. She is the kindest person I have ever met. Just like her daughter, my mom. She was the only person alive in this entire family that I could call mine. And I just can't imagine a world without her. The man next to me was clearly pissed off, and I know I offended him now with whatever I did, but I can't help it. I actually didn't know how to put it all before him. Nathan never liked people who talked back to him and I never usually do that. But today was different. I didn't want to show anything but to go see my grandma right away. And so, I bravely asked him if I could visit my home, and as I already expected, he burnt in frustrat

    Author's point of view... "What did you say mom? Is it true that Ericka hooked up with a cripple?" Elvira asked, excitedly. Emily smiled and carrassed her cheeks. "Yes, honey. Your uncle told me that she was with a crippled man last night and they declared that they were in love with each other" Elvira was so happy that she almost lost herself as she giggled. "That bitch...she deserves it...no wonder she wanted me to lure Logan...I wish her so called love life would be destroyed forever..." Elvira mumbled to herself. Emily looked at her daughter and pursed her lips. "I wish that too, baby but your uncle is such a fool. He wanted her to marry the young master of the Dawis family..." Elvira's smile faltered immediately, she grabbed Emily's hand and squeezed it. "Mom...who...Logan...but" "What... Mom, what are you talking about! Why would Logan marry a characterless slut like her? He deserves better..." Emily smiled reassuringly, "I know, honey. Young master L

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 29 Get her...!

    Author's point of view... Ericka gripped her dress so hard that the fabric almost got ripped. She spoke though masking her fear inside. She knew he must be furious as he wasn't someone to take a 'no' as an answer yet she had to say that. Just when she saw his gaze fixated on her, she gasped and no one could see how much she was shivering at that time. Nathan however, just stared at her without even changing his expression, as if reading her mind through her eyes. There was silence in the entire house as no one dared to talk. Though Dave showed some excitement earlier, he instantly zipped his mouth when he saw Nathan's intimidating eyes ripping his skin off. After what felt like an eternity, Nathan finally opened his mouth to speak and the words that came were like a roar coming out of an angry lion despite being low. "Come down..." his roar sent shivers down everyone's spine and Ericka could feel her entire body getting numb. She stood there with her eyes widened unable t

    Ericka's point of view... When Rayan came into my room that day and acted weirdly, I knew something was wrong. The first thing that struck me was Grandma. Did something really happen to her? I lunged forward and grabbed Rayan. "Rayan, did something happen to grandma?" I asked desperately. I don't know if it was the thought of losing her or the dizziness of the drug they used on me, my head was spinning like hell. I clasped my hands over my head as I repeated my question. "Rayan...tell me...Did something happen to her? Did Dad do something to her?" He kept silent, increasing my anxiety for every second passing. His silence was making my gut churn. "Rayan..." I yelled, shaking him awake from his stupor. He hung his head and I felt like I saw tears in his eyes. My heart sank. Something did happen to Grandma. Only she is worth his cold tears. My hands started trembling and I couldn't force another word out. "He is a monster, sis" Rayan began, gritting his teeth at

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 31 Take her to the mansion...!

    Ericka's point of view... They carried me out as if I wasn't a human but some sack of rice. It felt horrible, not being able to clarify things as my mouth was choked with a piece of fabric. I tried to scream and hit the men who were carrying me but to no use as they both were like some huge monsters with thick skin and almost no sense. I was literally pissed off. After what felt like eternity, we reached near a chain of cars parking outside the house when they finally decided to put me down. I turned around only to find Mike and pleaded with my eyes to let go of me. He looked at me with pitiful eyes and shook his head in diapair. I looked behind him to find that heartless man who treated me like shit. I was just pretending for god's sake...! Can't he just use some simple method to get me out of that place? He opted for the rudest one just to humiliate me and embarrass me. I was frustrated but I knew better than anyone that I couldn't even vent my anger on him. How

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 32 You can stand...!

    Author's point of view... Ericka was stunned for a brief moment before her jaw dropped at the sight. The man who stood before her had very familiar features. He looked so much like Nathan Dawis. Though the room was dimly lit, Ericka could see his features vaguely. His perfectly angular side face and his muscular chest, his bulging biceps and everything was exactly the same. Other than the fact that this man wasn't crippled, she couldn't think of any other reasons for him not to be her boss, Nathan. "You—who are you?" she stammered, utterly confused. He took a step forward and her face burned as she realized how inappropriate it was to be staring at a stranger’s exposed body. Quickly, she turned around, covering her eyes with her hands. She never heard Nathan had a twin brother. Who is this man? She thought. A clown?? From behind her, she heard him scoff. "Are you trying to play dumb to get my attention?" Ericka stiffened at his cold tone. What is he talking about? She

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 59 Was she so unattractive?

    Author's point of view... Ericka was stunned. It didn't take him a second to scoop her fragile body into his arms. Before she could understand what was happening, she was already in his arms. "You...Nathan...I am..." she stuttered, unable to speak normally. He stared at her and finally said in his ever so commanding tone. "You are sleeping with me..." Ericka instantly felt her throat dry. Sleeping with him? Is he serious? "But...I...I don't want to trouble you" she finally said with a futile effort to set herself free. He narrowed his eyes and snorted through clenched teeth. "Aren't you afraid?" Nathan asked. Ericka lowered her head. She was indeed afraid of closing her eyes. "Yes," She admitted timidly. "Then you can sleep next to me. You won't be afraid anymore." he said, his voice calm but unreadable. Nathan recalled the strange emptiness he had felt when she had chosen to sleep on the couch instead of beside him. "I'm just having trouble sleeping tonight

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 58 You are sleeping with me...!

    Author's point of view... The more Nathan thought about Ericka, the more intrigued he became. After he left the bathroom, Ericka closed the door and exhaled deeply. Was he going to kiss me? she wondered but soon smacked herself out of that thought. "He wasn't..." She confirmed. "He didn't even kiss me during the wedding, why would he do that now? He was just trying to intimidate me." she was sure that it was all because he was trying to scare her. Maybe trying to make her forget about the wolf. But that method was even more scary. She thought as she peeled off her filthy clothes, tossing them aside before stepping into the shower. The cold water cascaded over her, washing away the black mud that still clung to her skin. The air filled with the damp, earthy scent of mud as it swirled down the drain. With every drop of water that ran off her body, she felt her anxieties melting away. It was as if she had narrowly escaped death, and now, standing under the cool stream, a wa

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 57 Why should I?

    Author's point of view... "Nathan...I...you..." Ericka stammered, staring devastatingly at his deep brown eyes. Her heart skipped a beat as the thought occurred to her about what he was going to do next. He isn't really wanting to bathe her, is he? She was so terrified at the thought that her entire body stiffened. If she was scared earlier by that huge black wolf, she was now even more scared of the handsome wolf in front of her. She looked like a trembling lamb before that wolf who was staring at her. He grabbed her wrist with almost no particular expression on his face. There wasn't a single bit of softness in his gaze, only disgust. Ericka couldn't understand what she did now to piss him off. "Do you really think that I would let you walk around my personal space like that?" he spat in his cold tone and Ericka finally understood what was going on. She looked down at herself, wherever she was moving, a line of mud appeared, cascading down her dress. She stared up a

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 56 Mud...!

    Author's point of view... "Just put me down..." Ericka groaned, moving her body to jump down from Nathan's embrace. But his embrace only tightened. She tripped earlier and fell on a mud pit and was now covered in dark and stinky mud. Nathan was a clean freak and it was already hard for him to carry her and her protest only increased his annoyance. "What?" he spat annoyed. "I don't want you to touch me..." Ericka was fighting back the tears which were threatening her to run down. She was livid. If not for him, why would she have been here to begin with? If it were not for him, why would she have been in such a dangerous situation? It's all because of him...! She gritted. Nathan heaved a sigh. Maybe his wife was so scared that her mind was not working properly. "Ericka, calm down, you are safe now," Nathan said suppressing his anger, trying to calm her down, "Safe...?" she furrowed her eyebrows. As she recalled those deadly red eyes and that salivating mouth of that wo

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 55 It was all because of you!!

    Author's point of view... Jack jumped in fright as he saw his boss's piercing eyes. “Sir...I...Your orders are usually to not let anyone disturb you when you visit the ancestral hall, so I…” Creases appeared on Nathan’s forehead. Jack’s words made him realize that he had lost his composure. Without another word, he turned away and drove his wheelchair quickly toward the main building. Jack didn’t understand what was going on. "He doesn’t like his wife, right? So why is he so nervous?" he wondered as he rushed to help his boss. Inside the main building, Nathan’s father and the others were just about to leave when he saw them. He quickly scanned his surroundings but couldn’t see Ericka with them. “Where’s Ericka?” he asked seriously. Jonathan rolled his eyes in ridicule, his anger flaring at his son. “You don’t even know where your wife is, and you have the nerve to ask us?” Jonathan Dawis retorted coldly. Logan hesitated before walking, his gaze flickering t

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 54 God...I am lost!!

    Author's point of view... "Look, I don't know what you will do but I want everything to go well this time." Logan said in his commanding tone, while giving Elvira a shopping bag. "What is this?" Elvira asked curiously. She was wearing an orange off shoulder gown pairing it with a red shimmering jacket. The colors were bright, brilliantly matching her personality. She looked good but Logan was clearly displeased. "That's the dress you will be wearing when we will go meet grandma." Elvira wasn't willing to change her beautiful dress. Why would she when she clearly spent a fortune for getting it! "But why..." she protested, but she couldn't complete her question when Logan instantly grabbed her neck. "You don't have a choice...! Just do what I say." Elvira instantly nodded, "I...will.." He took a deep breath, controlling his unreasonable anger. He had been in a sore mood because of the incidents happened today. When he was calm, he explained the reason behind it. "It's

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 53 The red dress...!

    Author's point of view... Meanwhile, in the hall, Logan consulted the doctor who just operated on his mother. Not only him but no one in the entire family dared to go against Nathan. Selina was left alone in the hospital on her own. However, how could a son stay still, not doing anything. At least, he can inquire about his mother. The doctor informed him that the patient was just brought on time and the operation went well. There wasn't any particular harm done to the patient. Though everything was settled, Logan couldn't help but feel frustrated and infuriated. His mother was in the hospital yet he couldn't even go there to see her. "Nathan....you bastard...!" he hissed under his breath. He was never a man to submit that easily but Nathan had gotten them where he needs. Both Logan and his father had to listen to him if they wanted their company to survive. Logan had hated Nathan since they were young. Nathan had been a prodigy, crushing him with his intelligence and talent

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 52 Your wife...!

    Author's point of view... "Who are you?" he asked and Ericka didn't know what to answer. He wasn't joking. He was damn serious and Ericka clearly knew that he might be having an answer in his mind. "I...I am..." Ericka bit her lip, and after a moment, she lowered her head and said in a low tone, "Your wife." She felt embarrassed. The words felt heavier and awkward to speak before him. She hesitated to look into his eyes. Nathan sneered disdainfully. He thought she was feeling uneasy about being married to him. "Is it that shameful to be my wife?" Nathan asked, raising his gaze. Ericka looked up, bewildered. Where did he get that idea from? Nathan casually pulled out his gun and played with it in his hands. He had a white piece of cloth wrapped around it. Ericka stiffened. Was her answer wrong? Why would he always take her words in a different way? "No!" she smacked, "Of course not" she quickly replied, afraid that he might take offense and point the gun at her

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 51 Who are you?

    Author's point of view... "He's Nathan," Logan spat fiercely, his fist curling into a ball. "He's a crazy bastard!" Elvira was taken aback. It was clear to Elvira that everyone in the Dawis family shared the same thoughts about the man in the wheelchair. Their fear was evident in their faces even after the man had left. Then suddenly a thought occurred to her and she recalled where she had heard that name before. Nathan...Nathan Dawis, the ex-CEO of the Dawis group...! She had recently read a post about him in the most famous business magazine, which has clearly mentioned the great achievements he had achieved at such a young age. "So Ericka was married to this man?" She asked still in shock. She gritted her teeth in frustration. "He… He was actually Nathan Dawis?" she thought, covering her mouth in shock. No wonder he was in a wheelchair. "Mom said Ericka married a useless cripple but that man was anything but useless. "I knew he was crippled, but his presence
