"You thinking of hiding from me now wife?" he whispered to me.
" I...I was just" i started stammering. Having him so close to making my heart beat faster. "Sir she has recently joined the team from our new batch of students and i think she was worried...I mean surprised by the recent changes" Silas said, trying to help me out as the mentor.
"Is it now i see" ryan said and kept glaring daggers at me. For some unknown reason i felt the need to clarify for silas talking for me but i just turned to look at my food & avoided all conversation as much as possible.
After few minutes of looking at the studying my food with intense concentration, Ryan reach out and held my hand under the table. I almost chocked on my food. Immediately looking up i saw Ryan giving me a side glance with a smile on his face. I kept trying to get my hand away but he wouldnt let me go. For the next few minutes everyone at the table kept trying to take up our CEO focus and he kept softly stroking my palm with his fingers.
Ryan's secretary Tracy came next to "Excuse me Sir, the directors & Sheena mam is awaiting for you to initiate the discussion" she said giving me kind smile. Tracy knew i was Ryan wife since she was the one who helped me get ready during our wedding.
"Very well, lovely meeting all of you" Ryan said smiling got up and left. His mood swings are now giving me whiplash, sometime he is so close to me and sometimes so far.
"Are you alright? You've barely eaten" Trisha asked. " I am good just wasn't so hungry, can we go need to start working on the logo changes we were discussing on the website" i said trying to change the topic.
The rest of the day was as usual, neither did Ryan reach out to me nor did I call him. I was back home cooking pasta when Ryan texted me "Pack your things I am coming to pick you up"
Why does he have to be so bossy! I am not going anywhere until i wish to. But how long could i pretend, I did sign-off to be his fake wife and give him the heir, there is no going back. But why cant I just stay at my home and when it is convenient come for baby or for that matter the technology has advanced we dont even have to be together.
I was just contemplating when the bell rang. Leave it to Ryan to be super fast in everything he does. "I texted you to pack your things, why are you wearing an apron & not ready" he said marching into my flat. "You dint give me much time to even process your text" i told him getting back to food cooking in pan. "What is there to process in this, am i missing something here" he said coming behind me to kitchen. "I dont want to leave" i said switching off the gas. Ryan came behind trapping with his hands on the counter. "I have given you enough space you will do as I say. My wife will stay with me in our house!"
"Why cant i just stay here and still be your fake wife and for the child we do have advanced treatments which we can..." i couldnt complete before Ryan forcefully turned me. "I am not sure where this is coming from let me make this simple! I paid for your to be my wife for the next 3 years and i will f**k you the old fashion way to have our baby". I cant help the blush creeping up my face on his words.
"Now you have 15 minutes to pack your bags for us to leave home, I am waiting outside?" he said and left the kitchen. I experienced multiple emotions together I was scared, nervous but mostly excited on what will happen next. Packing my bags quickly i gave my condo last look and left with Ryan.
