Mr CEO’s Little Bride

Once upon a time

Ruby’s Pov;

I stood up on my feet, shaking visibly.

” What do you mean?” I asked him, taking my gaze to the ground.

I couldn’t afford to look at him, or even his eyes.

” What do you mean what do I mean? What’s the time? Won’t you go to school?”he thundered.

I finally got what he meant and let it sink in.

” Uhm… I’m not… I’m not going” I stuttered, summoning up the courage to look at him.

His gaze was still fixed on my face as he ceased his brows.

” Why?” his voice came out gentle and nice.

” I… I just don’t want to” I replied truthfully.

I plan on staying with him. I want to be with him.

I don’t know what’s wrong but that’s how I feel.

And from the look of things, I don’t think he’s going to the office today.

He was about to say something when the cook – Stacy walked in.

She was carrying her bag and I figured she was set to go.

Thank goodness!!.

” I’m ready to leave, sir” she said, making Nathan turn his gaze to her.

” Good” he said, nodding.

He beckoned on her to follow him out and she did.

I sat down on the couch exhaustedly, and then he came in few minutes later.

He walked pass me going to the stairs.

Gosh!!.

I was beginning to think I made a mistake not going to school.

This guy is as cold as ice. Gosh!!.

I picked up the remote and decided to search through the channels for something reasonable to watch.

I finally settled for an interesting soap opera.

I don’t know what happened, but I woke up in my room feeling tired and weak.

What the..?

I look out the window to see the sun still high up in the sky.

I could tell it would be scorchingly hot.

How did I end up here? I’m sure I was watching movies and I probably would have fallen asleep there.

Why did Nathan bring me here?.

I sluggishly got out of bed and out of the room.

I walked to the sitting room but there was no one there.

I went to his room but he wasn’t there either, so I ended up looking for him in other places of the house; from the garden to the pool side and back to the lawn.

Where could he be?.

The workers that were around working all greeted as soon as they saw me.

It kinda made me feel somehow. They were all way older than me.

It got to a point that I didn’t want to answer but I know that would even be ruder.

” Uhm…have you seen Nathan?” I stopped the gardener and asked.

” You mean Sir Nathan?” he asked to be sure.

Oh , my! Do I have to call him Sir?. He’s my husband for crying out loud.

” Yeah. Whatever” I rolled my eyes.

He nodded and directed me to where Nathan was.

He was at the back of the house and there was also a pool there

Woah!! I never realized the house was that huge.

I even preferred the pool here to the one I saw earlier.

I watched him from afar where I stood.

He flipped through the pages of whatever he was working on.

He was dressed casually and busily did what he was doing.

I contemplated on either or not I should approach him.

He seemed busy. What if he gets mad?.

After much thinking, I turned around and left.

I walked back into the house and decided to get busy with my phone.

Heaven knows I’ve never been that bored in my entire life.

Why the hell didn’t I go to school?.

I heard the door creak opened, turned only to find out he’s the one.

He walked in with the files with him.

I watched him go up the stairs in haste.

I continued what I was doing on my phone and about thirty minutes later, he walked out again completely dressed in a black suit.

I was mesmerized by his handsomeness and gasped as soon as my eyes landed on his face.

Holy Moly!!

He did his buttons as he walked down the stairs and that made him look even more hot.

He finally got down and walked to where I was.

He placed his both hands in his pockets and was about to say something when he got interrupted by his phone.

” Yeah.. I’m on my way” he spoke calmly into the phone.

” What? Are you leaving? Where are you going?” I asked hurriedly as soon as he hung up.

” I have a business meeting to attend to” he replied, staring into his phone

” What kind of business meeting?” I asked.

” A meeting and then a little get together for all the members of the business club, but not to worry, I won’t be staying for the mini party” he enthused.

” I’m coming with you. I want to come with you” I shrieked, clasping my palms together in hopes that he would agree.

He stared at me in disbelief.

” Sure.. Do whatever you want” he said, going to sit on the couch.

I smiled happily and ran quickly to my room.

It was still hard to believe he was actually downstairs waiting for me.

I changed into something more sophisticated and sexy – a short, curvy stylish gown with heels and purse to go.

I did a little makeup on my face and packed my hair in a messy bun.

I placed my jewelries on, and with a satisfied look on my face after staring at the mirror, I smiled and walked out of the room.

I got down to see him still waiting for me.

That made the worms in my stomach dance for joy.

He saw me walking towards him and stood up.

He started walking to the door immediately.

Jeez!! Doesn’t he know he’s supposed to give compliments in a situation like this?.

Well, what was I expecting?.

I scoff and ran after him.

I opened the door myself and got in, with him right by my side and the driver at the front.

We were soon on our way.

We stopped in front of an exquisite building, the shimmering lights coming from it was splendid and alluring.

I didn’t know when a ‘ Woah’ escaped my mouth.

I stood still for a while, completely mesmerized by the beauty of the place.

I had to snap out of my thoughts only to see Nathan far gone and almost inside.

I ran in a funny manner, my heels not helping matters.

I caught up with him and we walked in together.

We got to the halls and it was filled with tons of people.

They all looked wealthy and stinkingly rich, and they all spell class.

I was glad I dressed very well if not I would have died of humiliation.

I made sure to walk very close to Nathan, almost like I was holding him but I dare not to.

He walked to a group of men and exchanged pleasantries with them, after which he started moving round leaving me to sort myself out.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

He hasn’t even turned to look at me or talk to me since we got in.

I guess he’s forgotten someone came with him.

I walked to a chair when I got tired of standing with a glass of wine in my hand that I got from a tray earlier.

” Hey!!!” I heard a feminine voice behind me.

I turned to see Chelsea.

” Hey!!” I waved back, stunned to see her there.

” I didn’t know you come to things like this” she said and I didn’t know if it was a question or a statement.

” You look beautiful by the way” she complimented and I blushed badly.

” You too” I said and we laughed.

” Oh!! Just look at him!” she said.

I traced her gaze and they landed on Nathan.

” Isn’t he so adorable?” she asked, smiling so hard.

” I guess he is” I replied, smiling also.

“How are you holding up? Hope he’s not being much of a jerk?” she asked.

” Well, I’ll say he’s more of an asshole” I replied, making her burst into laughter, which I later joined.

Oh, man! I love her vibes.

Goodness!! I didn’t know she was also in the business world.

” How come you’re here?” I decided to ask, when I couldn’t hide my curiosity any longer.

” Uhm… I work in De Martins also” she revealed, making my eyes bulge out of their sockets.

” What? You didn’t know?” she asked and I shook my head.

” I figured, but it’s been for a while now. Shortly after I moved back from the states, but hopefully I would return soon… when I get married” she said and sipped from her glass.

I couldn’t help but stare at her.

I was happy I saw her here. I would have felt so left out and all.

Just then, a brown haired girl saw her, waved and started approaching us.

” Watch out! That’s Shella. She has this super huge crush on Nathan and could try to hurt you with her words” Chelsea warned in harness in a whisper, before waving back at the girl.

Okay!!. Let’s see how this goes.
