"The Hidden Wife of the Cold CEO" is a captivating modern romance novel that vividly portrays the entanglement of love, interests, and fate. The female protagonist, Ruby, is an ordinary yet resilient girl whose life has been pushed to the brink of despair as she tries to save her critically ill sister. The male protagonist, Jaxon, is a mysterious and cold - blooded CEO who urgently needs a bride amidst a wedding crisis. The red thread of fate tightly binds these two people who would otherwise have no intersection, and a dramatic story unfolds.
In Chapter 5, the two - week - long peaceful life was shattered by a phone call from Jaxon. Ruby was at work in the restaurant when she received Jaxon's instruction. He demanded that Ruby resign from her job immediately, arguing that as his contracted wife, she needed to be on standby at any time. Ruby was furious. She was reluctant to let Jaxon manipulate her life at will and firmly rejected his unreasonable request. However, Jaxon coldly stated that their devices were linked, and he could monitor Ruby's location at any time. He once again emphasized that Ruby must obey his arrangements, or she would bear serious consequences.
Helplessly, Ruby could only follow Jaxon's instructions, leave the restaurant, and be picked up by his driver. In the car, Jaxon remained tough - minded. He informed Ruby that he would pay her three times the salary she earned in the restaurant, on the condition that she no longer set foot in such places. Subsequently, they went to a high - end clothing store. Jaxon asked Ruby to choose a dress. During the selection process, Ruby was shocked by the price of the dress, while Jaxon said that he would cover the cost. At this time, Jaxon noticed Ruby's beauty. Even in simple jeans and a T - shirt, she couldn't hide her charm. When Ruby was trying on dresses, other women cast admiring glances at Jaxon, which made Ruby feel a strange feeling in her heart. Finally, Jaxon selected a silver dress, saying that Ruby looked stunning in it, which was quite unexpected for Ruby, who was used to Jaxon's cold words.
After that, Jaxon informed Ruby that they were going to attend a private party that night, and everyone at the party had to wear a mask. He asked Ruby to avoid talking to anyone and stick closely to him. Ruby was filled with doubts and unease. She didn't understand why Jaxon was so mysterious, why he wanted to take her to such a party, and why he had to keep their marriage a secret. But for the sake of her sister's medical expenses, she could only choose to compromise. After returning to the apartment, Jaxon reminded Ruby that he would pick her up at 8 p.m. Ruby corrected him that her name was not Ruth, emphasizing that since they had signed a contract, Jaxon should also respect her.
In this chapter, the contradictions and conflicts between Ruby and Jaxon further escalated. Jaxon's dominance and Ruby's resistance formed a sharp contrast, and the subtle emotional changes between them were also taking place quietly. What unexpected things will happen at this masquerade party? Can Ruby find her way in this secret marriage? How will the contractual relationship between her and Jaxon develop?
