Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

He ignited the engine and began to drive onto the tarred road, in a direction that was completely strange and unfamiliar to Mia. BUt unlike her, Lucas knew where they were headed–the big boss’ house.

Throughout the drive, Mia simply sat still, unmoving. Her mind was occupied with a lot of terrifying thoughts… what would become of her now? Where were they taking her to? Had she come to the end of her journey in life?… She had her thighs tightly pressed together and she broke out into cold sweats.

“Do you want to suffocate to death?”

It wasn’t until the icy cold man asked this question that Mia realized she’d been holding her breath the whole time. She hastily released her ragged breath.

Shawn clicked his tongue irritably.

If the girl wanted to die, she should go ahead! But not in his car. He clicked his tongue yet again.

Soon, they arrived at Magnificent and Lucas drove straight into the big boss’ compound.

As soon as Mia stepped foot out of the car, her mouth opened ajar. In fact, her jaw almost touched the ground. This was a huuuge mansion–way bigger than that of her father.

The building was magnificently tall… and beautiful too. There was no doubt that this mansion was made with absolute care and concentration. Some palaces didn’t even look as grand and beautiful as this–with that lovely waterfall right in the center, outside… Well structured… Mia was short of words.

Lucas had already handed the car key over to his boss, and Shawn had sent the man home, yet, when he turned around, he met the girl gawking at his building. How many minutes had been again?…

“Keep craning your neck that way and you’ll snap it.”

Shawn’s words made Mia realize she’d stretched out her neck way too long as she observed the magnificent building. She immediately retracted her neck back to normal.

When she saw Shawn taking long strides into the house, she quickly trailed after him. The man’s legs were unbelievably long and fast that she could only drag her limping leg behind him.

When they entered the mansion through the front door, Mia’s mouth flung open again. It was freaking gorgeous here. The interiors were super posh and classy–everything, one of its kind.

She couldn’t even start mentioning; from the designer chairs, to the well-polished floors, the paintings hung on the walls … wallpapers… the beautiful crystal chandeliers hanging down from the ceiling… the flower vases… the TV set…. uniformed maids…

Mia was still trying to process all of these things when, “Sit.” Shawn’s order instantly pulled her out of her reverie.

She quickly did as she’d been told and pressed her hands firmly together.

No offense, but her father’s house was like that of a rat, compared to this gigantic mansion. From the looks of things, the way the maids sank in curtsy when they sighted him, the icy cold CEO must own this place.

Wow, he must be freaking rich. He must be a billionaire, Mia thought inwardly.

“I’m worth way more than that.” Shawn corrected.

She gasped and quickly clasped her hand over her mouth. Shit! She’d said that out–aloud.

Shawn clicked his tongue agitatedly. Damn, tha girl… She’d been making him talk way more than usual since he met her. Sheesh.

“Let’s get some things straight.” he paused, ” my house, my rules.”

“You stay the fuck away from my sight and only appear when necessary. Also, you’re to do everything I tell you to.”

“Understood?” His voice was deep, and his face stern. Mia gulped. But she was totally confused. What was he talking about? “Huh?”

Shawn pressed his mouth into a thin line. He was starting to lose his patience with this girl.

Not only was she a thief and a liar, she was also a nitwit. Extremely dumb.

“We’re married. You live here now.” He dropped the bombshell. “What?!” Mia exclaimed, her eyes popping out of their sockets.

Marrie-Shit! Realization gave her a huge blow on the face. They were indeed married. By law, at that. Stamped.

“Ermmm… erm, I promise you sir, I’ll look for that file–I swear–and I’ll bring it to you immediately-” Shawn cut her off irritably, “that’s not necessary.”

She stared at him in bewilderment. Wait, things were starting to get confusing and complicated. Wasn’t this man the same person who’d abandoned her in front of the bureau’s office…? and had also sent her the divorce papers…?

What was with the sudden change of mind?

As if reading her mind, “I do not wish to do this–something came up.” Shawn spoke.

The girl had better not be thinking he was interested in her. If not for the sake of his grandfather, they wouldn’t be having this conversation right now. This was…

“I-I’m not interested.” Mia blurted out all of a sudden.

“I beg your pardon?” The temperature in the living room suddenly went freezing cold, making Mia snuggle up as she gazed at the icy cold man.

The expression on his face wasn’t any funny as his face had turned pitch black. Mia shivered.

She gulped.

“I-hum-erm- I mean– I’m hum, I’m not interested in not being interested in you.” She took back her words immediately.

The tiger looked like he’d pounce on her the moment she said something he wouldn’t like to hear. She had no choice than to dance to his tune– she wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the world just yet.

But then, the words she’d just rambled out of her mouth… did they make any sense? She exhaled softly as she watched the demi-god’s face turn from pitch black to its usual cold, expressionless self.

Wait though. How did her life suddenly come to this? Her life didn’t used to be problem free, but… one minute, her boyfriend was breaking up with her, the other minute, she’d married a dangerous man. How did it become this bad?

What was she thinking?! How could she have signed that marriage certificate?! That was stupid and reckless of her–what was she thinking? Oh, what a stupid girl she was.

Come to think of it… now that she was married, what about her family…? And school…

As if reading her mind once again, “you can go about your daily life–as long as you do nothing that’ll affect me. I’ll assign a driver to you, to take you to and from school. Or anywhere you wish to go.”

As long as she didn’t do anything that’d affect him… what could she possibly do in this life that’d affect this formidable man? Mia wondered.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
