Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

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.

Arnold Thompson was greatly enraged.

Several minutes ago, he was in the middle of an important meeting at the company, when his phone suddenly began to vibrate in his pocket.

It was a call from his wife, and the woman knew not to call him when he was at work, unless it was about something serious.

He’d picked the call, only for his wife to tell him that their daughter had not been staying in the school dormitory for the past two days.

He’d been so furious that he immediately adjourned the meeting and headed straight home.

Mia was extremely shocked at the man’s question. How did her dad find out so quickly?

“Oh, you’re surprised right? You disgraceful child!” Arnold spat out furiously.

All this girl did was bring shame to him and his name! Every damn time!

Barbara, who’d just recovered from the shock of her husband hitting the girl, hastily shuffled across the floor, to his side.

Vivian was also at home at the moment, and she was also extremely shocked. She’d never really seen their father this furious.

She was in the dormitory when she received a sudden call from her dad to come home immediately for a family meeting. She’d had no idea that the meeting was going to be about her sister.

“Dad, please take it easy.” She rumbled out of her mouth.

Seeing her dad hit her sister had left her panic-stricken.

“Darling, you should calm down. Take it easy on her, she’s just a child.” Barbara also consoled her husband calmy.

But rather than actually calming down, Arnlod flared up the more. “She’s a child? Yet she’s behaving like a promiscuous woman!”

“Dad!” Mia felt her heart shatter into pieces.

Why would a father speak this way of his child? More tears rolled out of her eyes.

“Who’s your dad?!-Listen,” The man decided to go straight to the reason why he’d called this meeting, “from this moment onward, you’re no longer my daughter! I only have one daughter-I disown you!”

“No daughter of mine would behave like a harlot!”

“I don’t ever want to see you anywhere near me, or my family!”

Having said his piece, the man barged out of the living room in annoyance.

Mia was stunned. The living room spun around her and her tears suddenly stopped for a moment, as she tried to process everything her father had just said.

DISOWNED. HER?!

Fresh tears flooded out of her eyes rapidly. She collapsed to the floor and bawled her eyes out, clasping her hands around her chest in pain.

Barbara and her daughter stood to the side, dumbstruck. The both of them couldn’t believe what had just happened.

But one thing they knew that was for sure was that, whatever Arnold said, was final. Once he spoke a word, he meant it.

After recovering herself, Vivian rushed to her sister’s side to comfort her. While Barbara merely stood on the same spot, staring at the two girls.

Never in her life had she for once thought that her husband would disown his child. She hadn’t expected it to happen at all.

When the school’s principal gave her a call, earlier on, informing her about how Mia hadn’t been staying in their dormitory, she’d instantly placed a call across to her husband; to also inform him of the latest update.

She’d been extremely happy that Mia was in trouble once again-but she didn’t expect that she’d be thrown out of the family. Just like that. Eazy peazy lemon squeezy.

Barbara grinned victoriously as she watched Mia roll on the floor, crying like never before.

‘Serve her right!’

Barbara quickly went over and pulled her daughter away from the girl’s side.

“Serves you right!” She spat out venom in Mia’s face.

Now that Arnold was no longer in the living room, there was no need to pretend to care about Mia any longer. Plus, she no longer belonged to their family. Good riddance!

“Mum!” Vivian cautioned her mother and shot the woman a furious look.

Now was not a time for her mum to taunt and bully her sister.

Vivian knew her mum despised Mia so much and wanted to get rid of the girl badly, but this was just too much.

“Shut up!” Barbara gave her daughter a hard glare.

She then began to drag her upstairs, to her room.

Such a pity. This child of hers was absolutely nothing like her-silly girl!

“Mum!!!” Vivian wriggled her wrist in her mother’s grip but it was to no avail.

Barbara’s hold was strong and firm.

After several attempts, Vivian gave up and succumbed. She had no choice but to follow her mother upstairs, willingly. Hmph.

Mia continued to weep bitterly on the floor. Now, she was left alone, all by herself.

But soon, warm hands pulled her into the owner’s embrace.

Madam Grace had overheard all that transpired between the father and daughter, from the kitchen.

Life was being so unfair to this girl.

Mia sniffled and forced out some words from her mouth, amidst tears: “Madam Grace, please talk to my dad. He can’t possibly be serious about those words, right? Right?”

“Please, talk to him. Please.”

“Beg him on my behalf. I can’t…” her voice trailed off, breaking into fresh tears.

She began to wail even louder.

Madam Grace knew her boss too well. Seven years, she’d spent seven years working for this household.

She knew the man had meant every word that came out of his mouth earlier on. Besides, she was in no position to meddle in the family’s affairs.

Even if she spoke to him about the matter, it would only make matters worse.

All that the old woman could do right now was comfort the poor girl in her arms.

After pouring her eyes out to her contentment, Mia looked up at Madam Grace with swollen eyes.

“Madam Grace, do you also think I’m promiscuous?” She sniffled.

The old woman looked down at her with a calm smile.

Although, when she’d also heard that Mia hadn’t been sleeping in their school’s dormitory for two days, she’d been taken aback. Nevertheless, she knew Mia wasn’t someone like that… Mia had her reasons, she was sure.

Madam Grace trusted her completely.

“No, my child. You’re not like that. I trust you.”

These words made Mia break into tears once again. Madam Grace trusted her blindly. If this woman, with whom she wasn’t related to, by blood, could trust her, why couldn’t her father trust her?
