Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

After finishing breakfast, Mia swiftly made her way upstairs. The morning encounter with the cold-hearted man had left her yearning for solitude, craving the comfort of her bedsheets. She approached her room and reached for the doorknob, but as much as she turned it, it remained stubbornly locked. Confusion clouded her features until realization dawned.

She had moved-no, she had been moved. Into the man’s room! Mia stood frozen, the world spinning around her. What should she do now? No more privacy… Sharing a bed with him seemed like a nightmare, and her imagination immediately began to run wild.

“Madam,” Madam Susan’s voice brought her back to reality.

She blinked away her sorrows and turned to face the older woman. “Yes?”

“Please,” Madam Susan gestured towards Shawn’s bedroom door, and Mia’s heart sank as she met its gaze. Slowly, she reluctantly shuffled towards it, with Madam Susan and a couple of maids following closely behind.

Once inside, Mia stood awkwardly, watching Madam Susan press the button for the walk-in closet. With a single glance from the old lady, the maids entered the closet. A short while later, they emerged with a selection of dresses, shoes, purses, and jewelry in their hands.

Mia’s face mirrored her bewilderment. Was there a special occasion? She knew they had chosen these items for her, but she had no idea why.

As if to address her unspoken question, Madam Susan explained, “Madam, they will now assist you in preparing for the photoshoot.”

Photoshoot? Mia was utterly lost. Before she could grasp the old lady’s meaning, the maids approached her, ready to lead her to the bathroom.

But she stopped them, “No, please. I’ll handle it myself. I can manage everything on my own. The only thing I’ll need assistance with is my makeup.”

She disliked the constant help they offered; it made her uncomfortable. She was not a child and was determined to do things herself from that moment forward.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

The maids looked taken aback, glancing at Madam Susan for guidance. She nodded, and they took a few steps back, respecting the young madam’s wishes.

Understanding Mia’s feelings, Madam Susan signaled for the maids to leave the room, leaving only one behind to tend to Mia’s needs. With that, she took her leave as well. Before departing, she gave Miranda a pointed look, which was met with a respectful curtsy.

Miranda knew there could be no mistakes, and she was well aware that she had to attend to Madam’s needs with the utmost care.

After the housekeeper left, Mia headed straight to the bathroom to take her bath. Once she was done, Miranda helped with her hair and makeup and assisted her in getting dressed. Ready, Mia followed Miranda downstairs, elegantly dressed, her curiosity about the occasion growing.

As she descended the stairs, she spotted Shawn seated casually in the lounge, engrossed in his phone. He was dressed in a sharp navy blue tuxedo, his impeccable charm on full display.

Mia had initially thought he was dressed for work when they had breakfast together, but that assumption was clearly incorrect. They were going somewhere together, seemingly for a photoshoot.

Approaching Shawn’s side with light steps, she noticed someone else in the lounge – a young man in simple attire with a backpack on his lap. She offered a polite nod, and he replied with a friendly smile. She cleared her throat softly to draw Shawn’s attention and signal her presence.

Shawn looked up from his phone and fixed his gaze on her, momentarily taken aback by her breathtaking appearance. The CEO’s heart swelled with pride; he had made the right choice in marrying her.

He rose to his feet, and the visitor immediately did the same. “We can proceed,” Shawn announced in his deep, authoritative voice.

The visitor unzipped his backpack and swiftly set up his camera.

Mia briefly pondered the situation and realized that the visitor was a photographer. She nodded inwardly, realizing her earlier assumption that she was going somewhere with Shawn had been incorrect. They were actually taking pictures at home.

“All set,” the photographer said with a polite smile.

Despite being the city’s most renowned photographer, he was on edge around Shawn Mendez, and who wouldn’t be? Shawn was the most influential figure in the country.

Shawn led the way to a spot that Jones, the photographer, had selected for the photos. When he noticed Mia hesitating, he shot her a questioning look.

Quickly, Mia joined him at the designated spot.

Jones began taking pictures of the couple, utilizing various areas in their lounge and capturing shots from various angles.

After a while, he finished up, packed his equipment, bid the couple farewell, and departed their home.

As he left the mansion, he cast a thoughtful, narrowing glance back. He had never heard of Shawn Mendez being married, so how did the man suddenly have a wife?

After the photographer left, Mia found herself staring dumbfoundedly at Shawn, who had returned to sit on the couch.

Sensing her intense gaze, Shawn sighed and said, “We just took couple photos. We’ll have them framed and hung in our home,” without making eye contact.

He continued, looking directly at Mia now, “I’ve been trying to get us to go to the studio for a while now, but every single time, a certain person got herself in trouble, disrupting my plans.”

With those words, he stood up and headed upstairs, leaving Mia stunned. She couldn’t believe how harsh he was being. While it was true he had once mentioned they would go somewhere after school, that day ended up…

Regardless, there was no need for him to throw her issues in her face. Perhaps, after being unusually kind to her over the past few days, he was overcompensating with cruelty today. Eish.

Mia also went upstairs and entered the bedroom. She changed into something comfortable, and Shawn had changed as well, now working on his tablet while seated on the bed.

Yet, he kept a watchful eye on her, observing her every move from the corner of his eye.

With the National College Entrance Exam approaching, Mia grabbed her textbooks and settled on the couch near the window, determined to start studying. Due to her recent school absences, she had a lot of catching up to do. She buried her face in her books.

However, after about five minutes, she began to hiss and groan in frustration.

Unable to bear her struggle any longer, Shawn snapped his tablet shut and got off the bed. He quickly closed the gap between them, peering down into her notebook from behind with hooded eyes. It was clear she was having difficulty with arithmetic.

Without uttering a word, he moved around the chair and sat beside her. He took the pen from her hand and began to help her, saying, “You made a mistake here…”

And so, the CEO took it upon himself to tutor his wife every day.
