Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

***

Jasper observed in silence as the Andrews’ car pulled into their residence. How dare they snatch the boss’ woman? They had no idea what they were getting themselves into. They would soon learn when the boss arrived.

Even though he could easily storm in and deal with every single one of them, the boss had explicitly instructed him to hold back. So, for now, he would obey and refrain from taking action.

The Andrew family disembarked from the car, and Mia was roughly pushed out as well. The girl had been crying the entire way to this place, and her tears showed no signs of stopping.

Cole Andrew, the family patriarch, turned to face her. Despite finding the girl’s continuous sobbing irritating, he tried to maintain a calm and understanding demeanor.

“Hey, girl. Stop your tears. No one will harm you here,” he said, attempting to hide his irritation.

Mia sniffled, her cries growing louder. “I just want to go home,” she wailed.

Cole’s irritation intensified, and he exploded in anger. Gripping the girl’s arm roughly, he yelled, “Behave yourself! Shouldn’t you be grateful to be marrying into this family?!”

He thundered angrily, “The fate of your family rests in my hands. If you misbehave, I won’t hesitate to make your father’s company vanish from the business world.”

But his words only exacerbated the situation as Mia grew increasingly afraid of him, and tears continued to stream down her face as she wailed even louder.

Angrily, Cole Andrew raised his hand and mercilessly slapped her across the face, leaving her momentarily blinded. The unexpected strike sent Mia flying to the ground, as if struck by lightning, rendering her momentarily speechless.

“Lock her up!” Cole ordered, and two servants immediately came forward to carry the girl away to the attic.

Ridiculous! If she hadn’t been taught at her own home, he would teach her himself. The man cleared his throat and entered the house with the rest of the family.

Upon entering, Susan, Mrs. Andrew, hastily rushed to her husband’s side. “Darling, welcome,” she greeted.

Then she glanced behind him, as if searching for someone. However, her expression soon turned dismayed. “Where is our bride?” she inquired.

Cole smiled warmly at his wife. “Don’t concern yourself, dear. The bride is here, she’s in the attic.”

“She’s reluctant at the moment, but with time, she’ll adjust to her new life.”

Mrs. Andrew’s face instantly brightened. Finally, they had found a bride for their son.

Despite their wealth and influence in the country, the family faced a challenge in finding a wife for Matthew, their son. Due to Matthew’s tonic-clonic seizures, every woman fled at the sight of him.

Mathew was the only male heir the Andrew family had. Cole Andrew’s younger brother had only daughters, leaving the family in a state of worry and despair. Their only recourse was to find a wife who could bear an heir for Matthew, bringing peace of mind to everyone.

After years of searching and waiting, luck finally favored them. Fortune had decided to smile upon them when news, that the Thompson family’s company had suddenly gone bankrupt, circulated this morning.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The madam of the Thompson family didn’t waste time in calling Cole for help, throwing her and her family at the mercy of the Andrews, and Cole Andrew immediately seized the opportunity to arrange a marriage between his son and their first daughter.

Upon receiving the joyous news from her husband, Mrs. Andrew turned around and ascended the stairs to share it with her son.

Mrs. Andrew entered the room, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She glanced at her son, Matthew, lying on the bed, a mix of curiosity and anxiety filling her gaze. Matthew looked up at her with weary yet hopeful brown eyes.

Earlier in the day, before Mr. Andrew and the rest of the family departed, he had been informed that they were bringing his wife home.

“Matthew, my dear,” She began, her voice laced with triumph. “I have incredible news to share with you.”

Matthew’s heart skipped a beat. The contagious enthusiasm on his mother’s face gave him a rough idea of what she was about to say, but he couldn’t wait to hear the words spoken aloud.

Mrs. Andrew paced the room, her hands gesturing animatedly as she spoke. “Matthew, your wife has finally arrived!”

Matthew’s eyes widened, and a glimmer of hope ignited within him. The thought of having a wife, a partner, filled him with both excitement and trepidation.

The years had been challenging for him, battling epilepsy and feeling isolated from the world. His mother’s relentless efforts to find him a companion often left him disheartened, but her determination never wavered. Even his father shared the same resolve. And finally…

“She’s here in the house right now?” Matthew asked, his voice filled with a rush of emotions. Excitement, fear, and anticipation swirled within him.

Mrs. Andrew nodded vigorously in response.

“But, Mother,” Matthew stammered, his voice wavering with uncertainty. “What if she can’t handle my seizures? What if I become a burden to her?”

Mrs. Andrew rushed to his side, her hand reaching out to caress his cheek. “Oh, my dear boy,” she said, tears welling up in her eyes. “She will learn. She has no choice. It’s an honor for her to be married to you, you wonderful man.” She grinned.

A sense of relief washed over Matthew.

“Matthew,” Mrs. Andrew whispered, her voice brimming with conviction. “Don’t worry. Once she sees the beautiful soul beneath the illness, she will fall deeply in love with you.”

A wave of courage engulfed Matthew. Although the road ahead might be challenging, he was no longer alone. He finally had someone to call his own.

A smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he gazed into his mother’s eyes.

Just as he was about to speak, a loud bang reverberated through the entire mansion, startling everyone.

As Mrs. Andrew recovered from the sudden shock, her brows furrowed.

“I’ll be right back,” she said, heading downstairs.

A few seconds earlier, Shawn’s voice rang out, cold and menacing.

“Run it over.”

They had just arrived, and upon seeing the gate of the Andrews’ estate, the CEO furiously ordered his assistant to crash through it, unconcerned about the damage it would cause to his luxurious vehicle.

Lucas followed the command and rammed the gate with force, causing it to collapse onto the ground with a resounding crash, shaking the earth beneath them.

After parking the car, Lucas hurriedly stepped out to open the CEO’s door, but Shawn had already flung the car door open and stepped down from the car.
