Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

Shockingly, seeing Martha and Max together didn’t cause any sadness in her at all. Rather, what she felt was anger. Ang-

“Mia!” Martha’s melodious voice filled Mia’s ears and she immediately pushed her thoughts aside.

She grinned at the girl as she went and stood in front of the couple. “Good morning.”

“So what if it’s a bad morning instead?” Max cut in agitatedly. “Martha said you haven’t been sleeping in the dorm for the past two nights, why? Where have you been sleeping?”

Mia was taken aback by the sudden outburst.

Even Martha was extremely shocked. Despite all her efforts, was the boy still in love with this girl? She couldn’t help but wonder.

But… Well, it wasn’t so easy for one to forget about their first love.

Although, yes, she told Max that Mia was no longer staying with her in their room so that he could get mad at her… but not for him to get mad at the girl in this manner. This was more of a ‘caring mad’ than a ‘MAD mad’. This was a concern concealed in infuriation.

He was supposed to get mad at Mia and think dirt of her… what was this? Martha secretly balled up her hand into a fist.

“Huh… Hum-I” Mia stuttered miserably.

“With whom are you staying?” Max’s voice was filled with urgency.

He wanted to know real fast.

Mia was dumbfounded. How would she tell-wait, this boy was not even in a position to question her.

He was in no position to ask about what was going on in her life. They weren’t a couple anymore. Mia realized this all of a sudden.

Just as she opened her mouth to retort, the school bell began to ring.

“We’ll continue this discussion later.” While still staring at Mia, Max added, “Martha, let’s go.”

Hesitatingly, the boy marched off and Martha quickly followed behind him.

‘He’s still into her.’ She gritted her teeth.

Despite everything she went through to get-she had more work to do.

Martha pressed her lips into a thin line as she caught up with her boyfriend.

Heaving a sigh, Mia ignored the accusing, piercing gazes around her and also began to head straight to her class.

Throughout school, she did all her best to avoid bumping into either Martha or Max. She couldn’t possibly tell them what was going on.

As soon as the bell rang for closing time, she immediately picked up her school bag and hurried out of school as fast as her legs could carry.

Unknown to anyone, someone was watching her through one of the school windows. Martha scrunched up her face as she watched the girl rush out of the school premises.

‘What’s she hiding?’ Her eyes narrowed, deep in thought.

The main reason why she’d told Max about the girl not sleeping in their room was so she could get Mia to spill all the information, but who would have thought that she… Hmph!

“She must have found herself a secret job-is she working as a stripper now?” Martha muttered thoughtfully, tapping the corner of her mouth.

‘Or does she come to school from home now?’ She wondered.

‘That’s not possible.’

Martha knew very well that Mia wasn’t favored, at all, at home. If anything, the girl’s stepsister was the one who got all the favors. And her stepsister was still living in the dorm-she even saw her last night. So, there was no way Martha could be coming to school from home. Not when her stepmom was still alive.

‘What’s going on?’

Then it suddenly clicked. What would make the girl speak, she knew.

Martha smirked. She picked up her bag and headed straight to the principal’s office.

Although school, today, didn’t go as smoothly as she’d wanted it to, Mia was still okay with it. At least, nothing bad happened to her.

Smiling, she stepped down from the cab and began to rummage through her school bag to get the money she’d pay the taxi driver.

She was already outside Magnificent’s gates.

But as she did this, her phone began to ring. She brought it out, and when she saw the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat.

It was her dad.

What could he possibly be calling for? Mia’s lips quivered. She didn’t have a good feeling about this.

Everytime she received a call from the man, it never ended well. He only called when there was an issue-and she was always at the center of that issue.

Notwithstanding, Mia felt today could be different. Maybe he simply wanted to check up on her. He was her father, afterall. Maybe he now regret treating her poorly.

With trembling hands, she swiped the answer icon on the screen of her phone and pressed the phone on her ear.

“Hello.” Her voice was small and tiny.

“Come home immediately.” Her father’s voice rang out through the phone.

Tut Tut. He hung up without letting her reply.

Mia’s stomach churned and the rate at which her heart beat accelerated, as she removed the phone from her ear.

Slowly, she stepped back in the cab and said to the driver: “please, turn the car around.”

When she arrived at her father’s house, she paid the driver before stepping out of the taxi.

With a heavy heart, she heaved weary sighs repeatedly. She stood unmoving for a while, gazing at her father’s mansion.

‘What am I going in to face?’

‘Why did he call me to come here so suddenly?’

‘Did he find out that…?’

Several thoughts ran through Mia’s mind.

But did her father really already find out that she was married? Sigh.

Heaving a sigh for the umpteenth time, the girl began to take slow timid steps closer to the house.

When she reached the front door, she stood hesitantly, in front of it, for a couple of minutes; before she finally turned the doorknob with a little faith.

“I’m home.” She announced in her small voice as soon as she stepped into the living room.

What came immediately after those words left her mouth, was a hard slap across her face.

The strike hit Mia so hard that it made go blind for the next couple of seconds. It had met her unaware. Everything turned pitch black in an instant.

She had to blink repeatedly before she got her eyesight back. Tears stung in her eyes and started to stream down her face.

“Where have you been sleeping these past few days?!” Her father thundered angrily.
