Chapter 32 You can stand...!

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-21 01:10:03

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

    Author's point of view... "Bitch...What the hell did I tell you and what did you do??" The moment I swiped my screen to lift the call, his screeching sound echoed in my ears. I closed my eyes, a way of my own to let me calm down. I can't be pissed off...! To talk to a scumbag like him, I need a lot of patience. Anyhow, to be honest, no matter how many times I tried to teach myself, I still can't help but grit my teeth. This man is sick. "Young master..." I said respectfully after gulping down the disgust for him, forcing whatever patience was left in me, but I was instantly interrupted. "Shut that heck up... There's no need to suck up to me. I know you very well." he barked and I clenched my skirt. His words are sharper than a knife. "Slut...I am very well aware of what you are and I warn you to stop bringing that bitchiness of yours to me..." I gasped, my eyes pooled up but I didn't want to shed those tears for him. Taking a few breaths, I gripped myself. "Listen

    Ericka's point of view... "What are you doing here, Ericka?" Dad's cold voice echoed and his face showed his ignorance clearly. Whenever I look at him, I feel a hollow ache growing in my chest, that black pit of despair that seems to deepen with every careless word that falls from his lips."Dad...I..." I hesitated almost choking on my own words but before I could even make them out, he groaned in displeasure."If this is about cancelling the wedding, you can save your breath and walk back to your room" I was speechless. How could he be so heartless?"Dad...Please listen to me..." I stepped forward and he slammed the table before him. "Go back to your room if there's nothing important," he said dismissively. "Dad, please, he called me again just now..." I murmured, hoping for even a shred of compassion. He averted his gaze, snorting in irritation as if I was here with something unreasonable and literally I mean nothing to him. I know he didn't want to listen, but I had

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 3 Bachelor party...!

    Author's point of view...! Taking a steadying breath, I pulled myself together, feeling something shift deep within me. If they want me dead so badly, then let it be...! “Fine,” I muttered, biting back the bitter taste forming in my mouth. “I’ll go through with the wedding, Dad, but I don't think this would work out well...?" His eyes narrowed, I continued under my breath, "You won't be able to leech them for long" He gritted in frustration and grabbed my wrist, stopping me from going out. "If it's not going to work, you will have to make it work, Ericka. No matter what..." he said in his menacing tone. I squeezed my eyes shut. This man could be the cruelest father in this entire world and the heavens had cursed him upon me...! I sucked in a cold breath and calmed my nerves. I was never a loser, and I won't be one in the future as well. "Okay fine...! I will marry him..." I blurted out, pulling my wrist from his grip. "I will go through it. Even if it is to fight for

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 4 Perfect match...!

    Author's point of view... I walked out of the room, my heart pounding with a helpless, quiet scream. The hall was just a few feet away and I wished it would never end as I laid my eyes beyond it, the car that would take me to my unwanted fate was waiting for me at the entrance. I wanted to turn and run away, to vanish before anyone could stop me, but there was no escape from this. As I neared the car, a pair of familiar eyes caught my attention, narrowed with resentment. Elvira was glaring daggers at me. She was my cousin, a year younger than me. Dad told me that they were invited to a family gathering with the Davis family. She might be here for that. I could almost feel her jealousy seething. And of course—this dress could make anyone turn green with envy. But did she have to give me that look? "You might be flying above cloud seven, aren't you?" she sneered with her voice dripping with disdain. I inhaled deeply. Elvira is my sister but we never have anything that coul

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 5 Damn...It's indeed a trap...!!

    Ericka's point of view... It was a risky plan, but I was desperate enough to take the chance. If Logan, the young master of the Davis family, was smitten by Elvira, perhaps I could escape the fate I so dreaded. "Ma'am...I was asked to bring only one guest..." the driver said, his tone a mixture of confusion and curiosity. Something was off...! The driver behaved so oddly. “We are sisters, do you have any objections?” I protested, trying to play it cool. “I thought I was the guest of honor today, but I think I need to ask Mr. Davis send me another car...." I picked up my phone scrolling down the screen, pretending to be calling someone. And as I expected, it did intimidate him. "Ma'am, that's okay. No need to disturb Sir. We are already running late..." the driver said, respectfully and opened the car door for us. Elvira smiled sweetly, her earlier resentment replaced by an eagerness to impress. "Thank you," she said, her voice sweet and gentle. What a gentle butter

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 6 It was indeed Logan...!

    Author's Point of View... Ericka stepped cautiously into the nightclub. It was dark and eerily quiet, which immediately unsettled her. "Elvira..!" she called out for her sister but there wasn't any response. "It's just a few minutes, where did she go?" As she took a few more steps ahead, she couldn't see anything. Some times she even bumped into empty chairs and tables. "This is weird...!" she thought, "Isn't this supposed to be a nightclub? Shouldn't it be loud and full of people? Why is it so silent??" She took a few more steps, her heels clicking against the cold marble floor. The vast emptiness of the space made it feel less like a club and more like an abandoned set. A chill ran down her spine. "What’s going on here? Did that scumbag set this up to scare me? He wouldn’t be that childish... right?" she had tons of guesses but no one seemed to match the situation better. Ahead, she noticed another door. Her palms were clammy, and a shiver crept through her body.

  • Unexpectedly Married To The Cold Hearted CEO   Chapter 7 I am Ericka...!

    Author's point of view... The man who held the flashlight focused entirely on Ericka's body, and the spectators sitting in the lounge all gasped in shock. "That's a beauty..." they exclaimed, their voices dripping with malice and lust. Ericka was indeed a beautiful woman and to add to her appearance, the buttering up that the makeup artists had done to her was remarkable, making her look even more enchanting. "I want her...!" one of the spectators stood up and was about to come closer when another one pulled him back. "I am willing to pay ten million for her" Ericka's mind stirred. She thought Logan had arranged something to ruin her reputation but never in her wildest dreams did she think that he would actually sell her. How dare he...! she screamed in her mind. How could he disrespect a woman like that!! "If I ever get out of this place alive, I will kill you Mr. Logan Dawis...!!" she vowed to herself, gritting her teeth in disgust and anger. Her heart pounded as

    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

    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 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

    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 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

  • 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 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
