Mr CEO’s Little Bride

Way more than that

Ruby’s Pov;

” Louis” I called calmly, my heart pounding hard against my chest.

I took a few steps backwards, but he held me by the wrist and pulled me back to him.

I gasped and watched as he smirked.

” What… what are you doing?” I asked in astonishment.

Is he trying to kid me right now? What the hell is happening?.

” Will you get off of me? What the fuck do you think you’re trying to do right now?” I yelled to his face, summoning up enough strength and courage to pull away from him, but his hold on me was way too strong.

” Get the fuck away from me!!” I yelled to his face but he was unyielding.

” A minute… just a minute. Let’s stay like this for a minute” he cooed, touching my face.

I felt disgusted by it and slapped his hands off.

” Get away from me!!” I yelled and finally got out of his hold, after much wrestling.

I was breathing heavily.

” What was that? Are you insane?” I rasped in anger and disbelief.

I can’t believe this!!.

” I’m sorry Ruby.. I didn’t mean to…” I didn’t let him finish his statement before I stormed out of the studio.

What the hell??!.

What does he take me for? Has he forgotten I’m a married woman? His brother’s wife?.

I think he’s sick.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

I got outside and became stuck.

I ran my fingers into my hair, making it disravelled.

I could hardly explain how I was feeling right now.

The only thing with me was my phone. I had absolutely nothing with me.. No money, no nothing.

I wondered how I was gonna get home.

Goodness!! This is so messed up.

I held up my phone and dialled Diane’s number.

She picked up at the first ring

” Hey, girl!!” she shrieked into the phone, like she’s been waiting for my call.

Her cheerful voice instantly brought smiles to my face.

” You still haven’t told me what happened” Diane asked for the hundredth time, not wanting to take no for an answer.

She knew something was definitely up and wouldn’t take my silence for an answer.

” The only thing that happened was my forgetfulness. Like, how the hell did I forget to take cash with me?” I lied, laughing along.

” I know right. A billionaire’s wife. You should be ashamed of yourself, yunno” she said and laughed and I did the same.

” What were you doing in that neighborhood by the way?” she asked again, staring deeply at me this time around.

” Do you have plans of boring holes into my skin with your eyes?” I asked her, feeling uncomfortable.

” I’m just waiting for my answer,” she said adamantly, making me roll my eyes.

” No, no, don’t do that” she warned, pointing her index finger at me.

” Do what?” I asked, rolling my eyes again.

” You just did it again,” she said sternly.

” Or are you trying to avoid the question?”

” You’re the one coming up with various things. I don’t even know what you’re on about anymore” I said raucously.

” Woah!! I came to believe you’re saying these things to me. Is it because you’re married?” she asked with a serious look on her face.

” Go get married if you’re that curious” I told her and she burst out laughing.

” Goodness!! I can’t believe this.. Well, I might consider it if I see another Nathan, or maybe if Louis decides to look my way” she said dreamily, clasping her palms together in a happy manner

Hearing the name ‘ Louis’ instantly made me sad and I got lost in thoughts.

” Hello! You still here?” Diane snapped her fingers to my eyes, bringing me back to consciousness.

” Uhm!! Yeah, yeah”

” You okay?” she asked

” Of course, I am,” I said nervously, adjusting on my seat.

She gave me this cranky look like she knew I was lying.

But, I couldn’t bring myself to tell her all that happened back there.

Where exactly do I start from? And where… Goodness!!.

I haven’t even told her yet that he’s Nathan’s brother.

She’s gonna be so shocked. I actually have plans of telling her myself before she sees it on the news and get mad at me for not telling her sooner.

” We are here” she beamed.

I looked up to see we were in front of the mansion.

” Thanks a lot diane. I owe you one” I thanked her profusely, before getting down.

” Nah, you owe me a lot.. Even Nathan can’t do the things I’ve done for you” she said with a naughty smile on her face.

I just shook my head and waved her off, while she laughed.

Naughty girl!.

” You gat to be fucking kidding me right now!!” Diane exclaimed into the phone, almost rendering me deaf.

Goodness!! I just knew she was gonna react like this.

” Oh, Ruby? I think we were meant to cross paths in this life” she went on

” What do you mean?” I asked, shuffling my laughter.

She was being so funny right now.

” We are just a few years behind from being in laws. Oh, goodness! The mere thought of it is just making me go… ahhh?!!” she trailed off and screamed in excitement.

I had to take the phone a little further away from my ear, before I go deaf.

” How is it that you’re never serious with anything?” I asked in surprise.

” What do you mean girl? Of course I’m being serious right now”

” You call this being serious? Aren’t you supposed to be asking questions like ‘ How come?’ ‘ How’s that possible? You know” I told her honestly.

” Cut that crap girl. His Dad fucked another lady obviously and she borne him, what’s there to ask again?” she said nonchalantly, making me laugh so hard.

My ribs almost cracked

” You’re crazy,” I told her.

” I know,” she replied.

” But seriously, I can’t believe this. You’re such a lucky girl. You get to leave with two cute guys. You get to see their faces everyday. You get to live with them, talk to them, eat with them. Oh, my!! Your Dad is the best in the whole wide world. I want to be born as his daughter in my next life” she squealed and giddy all up, acting coy and all.

Oh, Diane! Such a drama queen.

As if everything she’s saying is such a good thing. If only she knows.

” I know now Nathan will sit up,” she added.

I arched my brows at this statement.

” What do you mean?” I asked, sitting up properly.

” Isn’t it obvious? He’s not the only cute guy in the house anymore, and I’m pretty sure if this gets out to the public, alot of his fans would shift their attention to Louis” she explained.

” He traveled,” I said slowly, trying to get this thought out of my head.

The thought of Louis. She has been going on and on and I wish she would just stop already.

She keeps taking my mind back to him.

Speaking of Louis, he still wasn’t back.

It was evening already.

” What? Who travelled?” Diane asked.

I guess she didn’t catch that.

” Nathan” I breathed out.

” What? Why?” she asked.

” Business trip” I replied.

” Oh!!! But it’s all good right. I mean, between you both” she asked and I zoned out for a few seconds.

” Yeah, yeah, we are” except I’m not good in general, I said to myself.

A brief silence stepped in.

” Ruby!” she suddenly called, taking my mind back to her.

” Yes” I answered absentmindedly.

” Are you sure you’re okay? You’ve been acting weird” she asked, this time I could sense the seriousness in her tone.

I suddenly heard a car horn outside and rushed to the window to see who it was.

It was him. Louis! He was back.

” Uhm… lemme call you back Diane” I told her and ended the call before she could even reply.

I watched as he got out of the car and started walking into the mansion.

Heavens!! What exactly was that back there? Was he trying to pull some kind of prank on me?.

What do I call this? That look…. that look in his eyes, it didn’t seem like he was playing or anything.

I so much wish it wasn’t anything serious… that he was just playing around

I seriously hope so.

I guess he was in his room already because I heard the loud bang of the door.

MONDAY MORNING

The stares I’ve been getting since I got to school were alarming.

Like, it was different from the ones I’ve been receiving and this one kinda got me scared.

I started thinking if I did anything wrong or…

Jeez!! The thought of what happened that day at the studio came rushing through my mind.

Could it be… no way! There’s no way anyone could have seen that.

No one was there that day… just the both of us. I’m pretty sure of that.

” What’s going on?” I tapped Diane at her back and asked.

She heaved and folded her arms.

” You’ve got to see this,” she said to me.

My heart beat accelerated and I could feel the world spinning around me slowly.

It can’t be!!…
