Mr CEO’s Little Bride

About time

Ruby’s Pov;

I stared at the school notice board and what I saw made my heart skip, but in a good way though.

Pictures of Nathan were all over it, and there was an announcement at the top of it.

I quickly read through it and heaved a sigh of relief when I was done.

Thank goodness!! I thought something bad had happened.

“Your husband is the best in the world. Imagine funding his wife’s school trip. Awnn!! How sweet!!” Diane whirled and danced around romantically, making me shake my head for her.

She was acting like a drama queen right now and it was making me sick.

” Can you snap out of it and let’s go to class?” I told her and started walking away.

” Hey, wait up!” she yelled after me, running.

She finally caught up and we walked in together.

I paused at the door in shock, staring face to face into those deep blue eyes… just like his brother’s.

I was taken aback for a while and quickly had to snap out of it and walk behind Diane quickly before she would notice.

I took my seat and never dared not to turn back.

The rest of the weekend has been about us avoiding each other.

Good thing he wasn’t around much. I could say the only time we got to see was at the dinning.

Well… he better don’t come close to me because he’s not gonna like what I’m gonna do to him.

Recess actually came faster than I expected and I walked out of the class hand in hand with Diane.

” Ruby!!” I heard my name.

The voice was so unfamiliar and there was nothing I could do because I knew he saw me already.

I had to stop right on my track.

” Let’s talk” he came to my front and said, his both hands in his pockets.

Diane looked at him and then at me and quickly excused herself.

I know she would be wondering what the tension is all about and to be honest, I still don’t understand.

I can’t wrap my head around how things got complicated like this.

” What do you want to talk about?” I asked immediately we were somewhere out of eat short.

I was so pissed and didn’t even feel like seeing him talk less of talking to him.

” Be fast. They don’t give all day for lunch” I said nastily, making sure my anger was evident.

He sighed and started.

” I’m… I’m sorry Ruby. I really am. I was just going through alot at that period. I know this isn’t right and I’m not even supposed to be saying this, but… I don’t want things to become distant between us. I don’t want any issues, okay”

” So… I’m sorry. I really am sorry.. I was just going through alot that day and not that it’s your business, but I just felt I should at least explain myself to you” he said apologetically, feeling really remorseful, but all that was bullshit to me.

I scoffed, taking my eyes off of him for a while.

” Are you kidding me? What’s this? A movie? What do you take me for?” I snapped at him.

I was trying really hard to suppress my anger, but it wasn’t working.

” You must think I’m stupid to believe all this bullshit you’re saying. You better don’t come close to me again, or you would regret knowing me or even getting close to me” I rasped in anger, and after warning him sternly, I stormed out on him.

I was furious and didn’t bother to go back to the cafeteria.

I obviously couldn’t face Diane like that and had to go to the back of the school.

Author’s Pov;

Louis walked into the meeting room majestically and completely cladded in a well tailored suit.

He looked dashingly handsome.

Mr Martins took his seat and Louis did after him.

The young lad was staring at all the elderly people before him, including his father with a mixed expression on his face.

He still didn’t know what he was doing there.

His Dad has suddenly told him to dress up and that they were going somewhere.

He never imagined it would be the company.

He sat down in panic and the meeting began.

Louis stormed out of the room as soon as they were done.

He knew that was disrespectful but he couldn’t help it.

He was so enraged and undid his tie as he came out, because that was suffocating him.

His breath was heavy and they humped hard against his chest in rhythm.

That obviously wasn’t happening.

What happened back there wasn’t supposed to happen. Not after the deal he had with Nathan.

The deal aside, he didn’t want to have anything to do with the company, shares, benefits and everything that comes with it.

He knew this was all his mother doing and vowed never to give her the satisfaction she wants.

She would never succeed. He’s gonna make sure of that.

He felt a tap at his back and turned to see Mr Martins.

” Sir!!” he called, looking away.

He didn’t want him to see the look in his eyes.

” How did you see that?” Mr Martins asked him.

He didn’t mind Louis calling him Sir. He didn’t expect him to start calling him Dad anyways.

He’s never got the chance to meet him because his Mom took him away all because of her selfish gain and interest.

It’s gonna take a while but he was sure to adjust.

Mr Martins knew the young man wasn’t ready, but he’s had a deal with the mother and he was a man that never goes back on his word.

Now, it was up to Louis. He’s either gonna stay or leave and that won’t be his business anymore.

” Why did you do that?” he asked, clenching his fist.

” Do what?” Mr Martins asked, feigning ignorance.

” I don’t know what kind of deal you made with my mom, but you both shouldn’t drag me in the middle of whatever you have going on. You think she brought me to you, but you’re wrong, I came because I wanted to”

” And… and no matter how long it would have taken, I still would have looked for my father one day. I still would have come to you because I know who you are, so please” Louis said painfully and tearfully, his eyes shot in pain he was trying to control.

He was trying so much not to burst it out.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

” Please, don’t do things like this anymore.. I totally hate it” he said the last words with an emotion filled voice and hurried out of his Dad’s sight, leaving Mr Martins with a sour expression on his face.

Those words weren’t what he was expecting.

It seems he was a lot more like his brother. They are both strong willed and hot headed.

” The car is ready sir” the chauffeur came to inform.

” Alright, let’s go” Mr Martins said with a smile and they left.

It was just a few days left before Nathan would be back and Ruby was looking further to it.

She already confirmed and knew he was staying for one week.

She sincerely hoped he wouldn’t exceed that.

” You really miss him, huh!” Diane teased.

Ruby smiled and faced her book.

She was actually studying for the mathematics competition and Diane was helping her out… more like distracting her.

” Get out if you aren’t gonna help” she snapped at Diane when she couldn’t condule her naughty attitude any longer.

The bell rang and they left the cafe for class.

ONE WEEK LATER.

It has already been two weeks and Nathan still wasn’t back.

Ruby still couldn’t explain how she was able to hold on.

She missed him.. so much. They don’t talk much and have no relationship but she does.

She missed his cold eyes, glares and everything… his aura and the mean manner in which he speaks to her.

The mathematics competition was fast approaching and she was glad she had that to at least distract her and keep her mind away from thinking about Nathan.

She and Louis practically lived like strangers in the house.

The only person still giving her problems was Ella.

The girl just knows how to piss her off so well.

” I wonder if you think you own this house!” she had said the previous night, while Ruby was watching a show, her legs on the table.

Ruby ignored her and concentrated on what she was doing.

Feeling irritated by it, she maliciously picked up the remote and changed the channel.

Ruby was supposed to get angry but she didn’t and instead just walked away.

She was already tired anyways and it was about time she retired to bed.

She saw that as the perfect chance but that didn’t go well with Ella who became furious.

” You’re staying behind right?” Diane asked the obvious question.

It was Wednesday, one of the days for the mathematics extra class.

It was also her counselling class with Nathan but they have missed it twice in a row now and she feels so sad about that.

She felt weird going alone and so, she didn’t.

” Why does that car keep following us??” Ruby asked her driver, looking at the car from the rearview mirror.

They had finished up late and she was just going home but this weird car kept following them, and suddenly…
