Married To The CEO

Chapter1

“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 cater for 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? We barely know each other aside from office work.” She asked

“You will be doing both of us a favor by agreeing to this. My parents have been on my neck for so long to get married. I'm fed up with them. You can help me out while I take care of your mom’s bills.”

He said with a cold stare void of any emotion.

Jay has been her boss for two years now and has always held a reputation for being quick-tempered, cold, difficult to please, and very stern. She only managed to survive under him as an employee because of her mother’s medical condition which demands a lot of money. And here she is going to act as a wife to him till God knows when.

With tears in her eyes, she signed the document in front of her, grabbed her back, and started walking towards the door.

“I will see you later, “Jay added.

Her phone rang, and she reached for it

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

Avery’s heart started beating so fast, what happened to her mom?

Upon reaching the hospital, she caught a glimpse of Jay having a conversation with the doctors.

Avery walked toward them and was told that Jay had made all necessary arrangements for her mom to be flown for proper medical treatment.

She stood there in shock. Is her mom flying to another country for treatment?

When did Jay become this compassionate?

As she stood there pondering, the family voice broke into her thoughts once again. “Go and meet your mom,” he said coldly as ever and walked away. Avery stood there, watching him till he was out of sight. She opened the door to her mother’s ward. She stood beside her mom without a word

“He came to tell me everything himself and I can assure you that he is a good man. Just go with him to his mansion. I'll be alright“ She added, patting her daughter's hair, waiting for an answer from her.

“Mom, I can't do this!” She burst out in tears.

Mrs. Tate's eyes broadened looking at her daughter who was still sobbing. She reached out to her hands to encourage her. Avery isn't ready to spend her life with Jay, but she is willing to sacrifice everything for her mother to live.

She stood up and left the hospital premises to leave for her new matrimonial home. A home that awaits her. A home full of unfamiliar faces and events. How is she going to cope independently? As she got home to unpack, a luxurious black car pulled in front of her house, and out stepped a familiar figure.” Jay?”

What on earth is this man doing here? Why is he following me everywhere? She asked herself. Just then he entered the room.

“Hi Avery,” he said with a wink.” He is not just a cold-shouldered dude but also a professional seducer too. What else can't you do Jay?” She thought to herself as she rolled her eyes over.

“Hi” She snapped back

Jay motioned to one guard to pick up Avery’s suitcase.

He then turned to kiss her. Avery went stiff the next instant. Before she could feel her palms, she landed a slap on Jay Henryson's face.

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

She felt a handpicking her up and throwing her over his shoulders. She opened her eyes and saw she was being carried by Jay. But this time around she did not protest. Jay hurdled her into the car and sat beside her staring through the windows. Neither of them spoke throughout the journey to the mansion.

Avery felt so embarrassed.

Jay picked her up again when they got to the mansion. He carried her upstairs straight to their vast bedroom, threw her on the bed, and started unbuttoning his shirt.

“Wh..at…what…are you doing Jay?” She managed to ask in a trembling voice.

“A reminder not to raise your hands on me anymore !” He retorted. He jumped on her amidst her cry for plea and mercy. Kissing her so aggressively that she could hardly breathe. With her hands pinned to the wall, he explored every detail of her body. Each touch was so fierce that Avery could feel the immense desire flickering through his eyes.

He made his way down to her“ Don’t do this to me, Jay.”

Avery pleaded with eyes filled with regret. Just then, the bedroom door flung open.
