Married To The Ceo

"Are you signing or not?" The deep voice of her CEO brought her out of her thoughts. She only came here to ask for financial aid to foot her mother's medical expenses. Jay Henryson offered to help her but on a condition!

"How do you expect me to sign this marriage contract? You are my boss for Christ's sake." She burst out

"You will be doing us a favor by consenting to this. My parents have been on my neck for so long to get married. I just can't take it anymore. You can help me out while I take care of your mom's statements."

He said with a cold stare.

He has been her boss for two years and has always held a reputation for being cold and very stern. She only managed to survive under him as an employee just because of her mother's medical plight which demands a lot of cash. And here she is, about to act as a wife to someone of his caliber till God knows when.

With tears in her eyes, she signed the papers lying in front of her. She reached out for her bag and started walking towards the door.

"I will see you later, "Jay added. She reached for the doorknob without looking back at him. Her beeping ringtone brought her back to life.

She dug her hand deep into her bag to fetch her phone.

"Hello, Miss Avery, your presence is needed at the hospital right now!"

Avery's heart started beating so fast. What happened to her mom? She turned slowly to Jay with teary eyes.

"Mom..." the rest of the words got buried down her throat as she rushed out yelling for a taxi.

"Roman View General Hospital. Please drive very fast. It's an emergency!." She yelled at the driver before flinging the car door. As she sat down, she could do nothing but pray for her mother's safety.

Upon reaching the hospital, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure having a conversation with a group of medical practitioners. Her heart skipped a bit.

Avery walked toward them. As she got closer, she stopped in her tracks. Her instinct has never been wrong. It was none other than the devil himself, Jay Henryson.

As soon as the Doctors saw her, one called out to her.

"Miss Avery, what kept you this long? Your mother's case was an emergency."

"I'm sorry for coming late. I was caught up in traffic and my chauffeur didn't help matters." She managed to say with her gaze still on Jay

"Well, you know your mother's condition and we all are trying our best to adhere to her treatment. Luckily, your husband got here in time to cover her expenses and made an appointment for her to be flown to the best medical center in New York City for treatment," he added.

Jay could see the shock written on Avery's face and a very satisfying cold smirk broke down the corners of his lips.

As she stood there pondering, a baritone voice brought her back to her connotations. "Go meet your mom," he said coldly as ever and walked away. Avery watched him with a surprise written all over her face.

She opened the door to her mother's ward.

Slowly she walked in and sat by her mother.

"He came to tell me everything and I can assure you that he is a good man. Just go and be with him. I'll be alright " She added, patting her daughter's hair.

"Mom, This is too much for me to bear!" With this, she burst into tears.

Mrs. Tate's eyes welled with tears at the sight of her daughter's breakdown. She reached out for her hands and positioned them on her chest. Avery isn't ready to spend her life with Jay but she is willing to sacrifice everything for her mother to live. She looked at Her mom and nodded.

She left the hospital premises to prepare for the new home that awaits her. A home full of unfamiliar faces and events. How is she going to cope alone?

As she got home to unpack, a black luxurious car pulled up in front of her house and out stepped a silhouette figure. "Jay!?"

What on earth is this Man doing here? Just then he entered the room.

"Hi beautiful!" he said with a wink. He is not just the reserved guy that everyone knows but also a professional seducer. She thought to herself as she rolled her eyes over.

"Hi," She snapped back

He motioned to one guard to pick up her suitcase.

He turned his head towards her and without warning, planted a kiss on her lips. Avery went stiff the next instant. Before she could feel her palms, she had already landed a slap on his face!

His fists clenched in anger, his body on the verge of exploding, a visible scowl broke out on his forehead and his eyes radiated fire. Avery knew she had crossed the line this time. She closed her eyes and awaited her doom.

She felt a hand picking her up and throwing her over his shoulders. She opened her eyes and saw she was being carried by Jay. But this time, she did not protest. He hurdled her into the car and sat beside her staring through the windows as he lit his cigarette. Neither of them spoke throughout the journey to his place.

Avery felt petrified.

He dragged her out of the car when they arrived at his mansion and carried her upstairs, straight to a vast bedroom, threw her on the bed, and started unbuttoning his shirt.

"Wh..at..what...are you trying to do Jay?" She managed to ask in a trembling voice.

"A reminder not to ever raise your hands on me again!" He retorted. He jumped on her amidst her cry for plea Smooching her so aggressively that she could hardly breathe. He pinned her hands above her head. When Avery looked into his face, the sparks of fire that ignited from them were too horrifying for her to behold. Each whiff from him was so fierce that she could feel an immense desire flickering through his whole body. He pinned his weight down on her slender body and kissed her so fiercely but passionately, making his path along her earlobes. His beautiful long fingers, shook as he gently felt her soft breasts. He nipped them so tightly that Avery gasped in pain. A soft moan broke out from his lips.

He made his way down to her " Don't do this to me, Jay"

Avery prayed with eyes plugged with remorse. Just then, the bedroom door hurled open.

Jay turned snappily towards the door with gazes firing blood. His eye fell on the househelp. She quickly averted her eyes from his fierce look.

"Pardon me, sir, I didn't figure out you got back." She managed to find her voice and without reluctance, quickly left the room.

"Get up and get dressed " he murmured to her before stepping into the bathroom.
