A CEO's Revenge Marriage Accidentally in Love

Chapter 5

Chapter 5
Hannah

With shaking hands, I take off my clothes while Tobias is showering. I can still hear the water running, so it should be safe to get half-naked.

We might be married, but I have every intention of hiding my body. The underwear will stay on. I also plan on sleeping in the far corner, away from my husband’s judging eyes.

Some of us don’t come with abs. It would be terrible if he took a look at my curves and laughed or something. I’m not bad-looking, but Tobias seems more grown and mature than me. And since he is a wealthy CEO, I bet he has a type: skinny girls that look like models.

And yet he married me. Is it because he trusts me to stay faithful because I need his money? Probably.

I get under the blanket and feel my heartbeat speed up when Tobias leaves the bathroom.

His waist is wrapped up in a towel. “This is the second time you see me naked on the same day.”

Oh, so he has humor, after all? It might be dry, and his eyes are intense, yet I still giggle.

“I’m sorry for walking into the wrong room…”

To my surprise, his face softens. “Aren’t we past that?”

I watch him get in under the covers beside me. It’s a kingsized bed, yet he feels way too close. Especially when he lays down sideways, eyeing me as if waiting for an answer.

My breaths quicken. Tobias’s corded arm is underneath his cheek, and his beautiful face is somewhat distracting. Part of me wishes to touch him, but even though we are married, we aren’t intimate.

Besides, Tobias isn’t a very nice person. Or, actually, that’s a lie. There are moments when he is kind, but I get the feeling he is still bitter about his divorce and is taking it out on the world.

I manage a smile. “If you’re over it, then I’m happy. Thank you again for this opportunity. You’ve made it possible for me to focus on my studies, and I’m ever grateful.”

“What are you studying?”

“Oh,” I blush. “I want to become a kindergarten teacher. Children make me happy, so I’m focusing on my bachelor’s degree in a teacher preparation program.”

He breathes a laugh. “It suits you.”
