Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

After moving closer to the person lying on the ground and confirming that it was indeed her elder sister, Vivian rushed to the girl’s side with immediate effect. She hastily knelt on the ground.

“What happened?–who did this to you?!” She was very angry.

Although, she and Mia were half-sisters, she held Mia dearly to her heart. She did not joke with her at all.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Mia was too weak to say a word, so Vivian gently helped her up from the ground.

She picked also picked her sister’s bag from the ground and then put Mia’s arm around her neck. With difficulty, she began to help the girl to the dormitory.

Martha’s phone dinged all of a sudden and she immediately knew that it was what she’d been waiting for that’d come in. In fact, her phone was already in her hand in anticipation. She secretly played the video.

After watching it, she grinned and quickly put her phone away in her bag before Max noticed anything.

The two lovebirds were currently in the shopping mall–of course, for Martha. Just like Max had promised during lunch time, he brought her to the mall immediately it was closing hour.

Martha grinned from ear to ear as they both went from one section to another. This was exactly what she’d wanted… the reason why she’d snatched her best friend’s man from her. This lifestyle…

This feeling–the feeling of being spoilt, being spent on lavishly.

Her grin was soon replaced with a frown. “I still feel bad for Mia.”

She dragged her feet grudgingly behind her boyfriend.

“Martha, you need to stop beating yourself about this… It’s her issue. You said it yourself, she was the one that voluteered to take the fall–it was her decision, baby.” Max comforted her in a gentle voice.

His girlfriend smirked behind him. Yeah, it was the girl’s decision to take the fall… and she’d face the consequences as well.

“So,” Max turned around with a smile plastered on his face and a dazzling silver necklace in his hand, “do you like this one?””Awww, I love it!” She squeaked excitedly.

As soon as the two sisters arrived in the dorm, they both struggled to get to Mia’s room. Vivian quickly placed water on the fire and helped Mia undress.

After the water boiled, she then dabbed on the girl’s body with a hot towel. Mia cried shamelessly. At some point, she even became too weak to cry–she whimpered like a seriously injured puppy.

“Sorry…” Vivian smiled bitterly at her sister.

She had also heard about the whole drama… But she knew it was all a lie. As a smart girl, she quickly picked up on what must have happened.

Because she’d known Max and Mia as a real couple, from day one, she didn’t get fooled like the rest of the kids at school. In fact, she’d been suspecting something going on between Max and Martha for a while now… the two had been acting funnily for sometime, but she couldn’t afford to be the one to break her sister’s heart by letting the girl know of her suspicions. So, she’d kept her suspicion to herself, waiting for events to unfold.

After she was done applying the hot compress on her sister’s body, Vivian fed Mia with pain relief pills. She then watched as she fell into a deep slumber.

Poor girl.

Heaving a sigh, Vivian stood up and helped Mia prepare some food that she’d eat once she woke up. After she was done she packed the food in a warmer, quietly picked up her school bag, and left.

But as she was about to take her leave, her eyes fell on a brown file, lying behind the desk near the door. Her brows knitted and curiosity got the better part of her.

She crouched down to the floor, and just as she stretched her hand to reach for it, her phone viberated in her bag. With her attention diverted from the file, she rose up, straightening her back, and walked out of the room as she answered the call.

By the time Mia woke up, it was already late into the evening. And she was madly hungry.

She knew Vivian must have left already.

A food warmer, standing on her bedside desk, caught her attention and she immediately knew her sister prepared food for her before she left.

Oh. What would she have done without Vivian in her life?

Althoug, Barbara, her stepmother, despised her, the case wasn’t the same with her stepsister. Vivian loved, cherished, and cared for Mia, genuinely.

Wincing slightly, Mia managed to get up from the bed. Her body still ached terribly but it wasn’t as much as before.

Sitting upright, she carried the food warmer and began to eat from it.

Martha still hadn’t returned… they must be having so much fun. Mia smiled a small smile. She suddenly lost her appetite, but she couldn’t possibly waste the food her sister had prepared for her… so, she forced herself and continued eating.

After she was done eating, she felt the need to go outside to get fresh air. The room felt stuffy. Bresides, if she continued to stay in here, any time from now, she might pass out from overthinking and being depressed.

But then, as soon as she set foot out of the room, unfriendly gazes were what she’d be met with.

Giving in to her fate, Mia heaved a sigh. She forced herself up from the bed and limped to the window.

Resting against the window frame, she looked out through the window, allowing the cool gentle breeze feather her smooth fine face. She smiled sweetly; nature was such a nerve-calming beauty.

She closed her eyes, inhaling the lovely air.

A second later, her eyes flew open. What was that that she just saw?

She needed to be sure it wasn’t a hallucination, so she looked further down, past the huge main gates of the dorm. Again, she saw that person… an unfamiliar, yet familiar, looking man.

Mia’s face scrunched up as she racked through her brain, in search of where she’d seen him before. Several seconds later, her eyes twinkled. He was the handsome man from yesterday… the secretary, or whatever he’d called himself, of that demonic god.

How come such beautiful looking man was working for that…?

Why was he here though?

Then sudden realization hit her. THE DIVORCE PAPERS. He was here for the divorce papers! Shit!

Where did she drop that file?…. She’d totally forgotten about it… she was yet to sign it.

She looked away from the window at once, her eyes roaming around the room in search of the file. It was nowhere in sight–where could she have put it?

Where did she drop it yesterday? Limping around, she searched high and low for the file but it was all to no avail. She couldn’t find it.

Heaving a frustrate-ful sigh, Mia trodded back to the window and saw that the man was still standing outside the entrance.

She couldn’t possibly let him continue standing there like that–knowing fully well that he was here to see her… What would she do now?

She heaved a sigh and quickly put on a pair of flip-flop slippers. Thereafter, she headed out of the room, slamming the door shut behind her.
