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 33 It wasn't from me...!

    Author's point of view... After Jim explained to her that the man she had encountered was indeed her husband, Nathan, she felt like crying. She was so stunned by the revelation. "But Nathan was...he is... wasn't he... his legs...," she stuttered in bewilderment. Actually, after witnessing everything, she had no words to explain her state of mind. Did he recover just now? No...! That can't be. He was walking so casually as if he was never a crippled one. She thought. As if smacking her out of her daze, Jim cleared his throat. "Mrs. Dawis, unfortunately, rumors don't stop at the wise," Jim replied. Rumours...! She scoffed internally, she had seen him pretending to be vulnerable, not just heard some rumours for god's sake. The man she met before today was so different from the one she met just now. However, this person was like a monster unlike the calm and composed one that her boss was. Staring at her confused expression, Jim continued. "You look like a wise person

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 34 Are you trying to seduce me?

    Author's point of view... Just before Ericka entered with a gift box in her hands, Nathan was in a call with Mike in which Mike was reporting him about the recent discoveries. With his boss's instructions, Mike went to investigate everything thoroughly about Ericka and her family. And to his astonishment, her brother, Ryan Johnson was caught selling some stolen goods in the black market. Nathan's eyes darkened as he heard what that stolen good was exactly, his mother's ring. The wedding ring that he had put on Ericka's finger the other day. His jaw clenched as he gritted in frustration. His anger palpable. She was never someone worthy of it. He punched the table in front of him as he thought how foolish he was not to be able to see through her false innocent facade. How could he not know that the girl he thought simple and innocent was actually a gold digger too. A shameless thief, who would do anything for money. It took him a while to calm himself down. He wanted to

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 35 I missed you...!

    Author's point of view... "Oh...dear sister. Did you like my gift? Was that useful?" After a heartfelt laughter, Elvira finally sneered. "Elvira...was that you?" Ericka's face turned red in anger. How shameless her small sister could be...! "So what if it was me?" Elvira replied, sounding pleased with herself. Ericka clutched her phone tightly as she listened to Elvira’s mocking laughter again on the other end. "Why would you do such a shameless thing, Elvira? My life is already miserable. Why can't you just leave me alone?" Ericka asked, feeling close to tears. Elvira chuckled shamelessly, there wasn't a glint of guilt in her eyes. "Obviously, I want to help make sure you have a fulfilling marriage," she said mockingly. "Unfortunately, with your husband's frail condition, I'm afraid he won't be able to perform so well, so I'm just helping you out a little to push him." Elvira paused to laugh, then continued. "By the way, I'm curious, just how ugly is your husband?" Elvira

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 36 She is my woman...!

    Author's point of view... In the middle of the city, far away from the Dawis group, Nathan had just entered his office room. Other than the poor, helpless and disabled eldest son of the Dawis family, he had another identity and that is, the youngest capitalist of the country. The man of power who can control the entire city with one command, Mr. X. His company, Seahawk Enterprises, is famous for both wealth and power. Every businessman, successfull or unsuccessful, wants a piece of this powerful enterprise. Though no one had ever seen him or met him, Mr.X holds a strange grip on the higher society. Even his father, Jonathan Dawis had been trying so hard to meet this man just to curry some favour for his company. But Nathan always declined to come out of his seclusion, time and again. "Sir, are you sure that you don't want me to go there?" Mike asked slowly, reading the sullen expression on Nathan's face. Nathan glared at him before dismissing him. "No need" Mike c

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 37 Go and cook for me...!

    Author's point of view... She was saved but the situation clearly left her in a vicious corner. She wasn't able to say a word as an explanation as Nathan's men entered the room and dragged her out of it. Ericka, however, didn't protest. It had become a regular thing for her being treated that way but the only thing that bothered her was the humiliation that she felt while those huge men were dragging her out of the bustling office building like a criminal. She hung her head and fought back the urge to cry. I wasn't going to say no to come with him, why does he have to go to such length just to humiliate me...! Ericka thought as she was thrown into the car. Soon, she was brought back into that mansion of a prison again but this time, she wasn't allowed to roam freely. Jim was instructed to keep her locked in her room and her phone was snatched by them again. Ericka slumped into one of the corners of that beautiful hell, thinking about what her life has become. The more

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 38 Horrible...!

    Author's point of view... Nathan Dawis lifted his eyes, his expression cold and mocking. "And who the hell do you think you are? What right do you have to discipline me?" he asked. "You are nothing but a free loader so be it..." Ericka gritted. How could someone have a rotten mood even in early mornings. This man before her had the worst temper she had ever seen. "I'm only trying to help," she thought to herself, not daring to speak out loud, "because I heard you're weak and sick. God, you are such a jerk!" She lightly bit her lower lip and lowered her gaze. "Obviously, he's not going to accept any advice from anyone, of course. Why am I even trying?" Nathan could tell she was secretly cursing him. Leaning back in his chair, his tall frame exuded dominance as he stared at her for a while before saying, "You know a lot about what to eat and what not to eat, hun?" he added, and Ericka clearly felt a knot in her stomach. He is definitely going to say something that wou

  • 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
