Mr CEO’s Little Bride

LOUIS!

Ruby’s Pov;

I watched as he eyes quickly changed from anger to rage and to other emotions that I can’t describe.

” What do you mean?” he asked calmly this time.

” I made her arrange for it. Ruby is still very young and this would help her learn alot. She would benefit alot from it also, I figured” his Dad spoke up calmly.

He was way too calm and I know this angered Nathan more.

I stared at him to see the way his fist gripped the glass of water firmly.

I feared the glass might break, but the next thing I know, he got up swiftly.

” And where do you think you’re going young man?” Mr Martins asked, his voice still as calm as ever.

” Work. I’ve lost my appetite” he replied razzingly and started walking away.

” Be on time. Your secretary will let you in on the rest of the details when you get to work” Mr Martins voice stopped him.

He turned to look at his Dad with a look of disbelief on his face, and with a scoff, he walked off finally.

Phew!! That was something.

Now I know the Nathan I saw yesterday… the one that did all those things for me doesn’t exist.

It probably was just a dream that I need to wake up from because there’s no changing this guy.

I had lost my appetite also but I couldn’t bring myself to stop eating.

I had to manage and get a little something into my stomach.

When I was done, the driver drove me to school.

The crowd I saw as soon as I got to school made my head spun.

What now?? I wasn’t ready for another drama.. I’ve had enough.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

I shut the door to the car before the driver took off.

It must be something important they are gathered for, because they didn’t even pay attention to me.

I became curious to find out what it was.

I hurried my footsteps and struggled my way through the crowd to the front.

Right there and then, in front of the principal’s office was someone I wasn’t expecting to see.

It felt like a dream. I cleaned my eyes to be sure they weren’t deceiving me.

” Where have you been girl? ” Diane came up to me

” Can you believe this?” I asked, staring blankly at him.

Diane followed my gaze and grinned.

” Of course I can.. I told you he was coming back” she said with a proud smile on her face.

Of course she did, but I didn’t believe her.

I can’t believe he’s here… right here… in front of me.

Goodness! I can’t wait to see his face.

He looked so gorgeous from behind already. I wonder what his face will look like now.

I was so curious, excited and happy.

I completely forgot all about the counselling class whatever.

” Come on babe, let’s go say hi” Diane tugged at my arm when he was finally leaving.

Girls swarm after him like bees.

Jeez!!.

All the girls are surely gonna go crazy after him.

This term is gonna be so hot.. I can’t wait for things to get messy.

The show had began but too bad I won’t be a part of it.

I’m married now and irrespective of how my marriage life is like or how I got married, I can’t deny the fact that I am, and I have to behave.

I need no one to tell me this… not mu dad, no one.

Nathan is a public figure which makes me a public figure too.

I can’t be seen chasing after some guy with the rest of my mates.

What if it gets to the media? It will piss the hell out of Nathan, no doubt.

I know I shouldn’t be acting this way because he asked me to sign a contract and all, and speaking of contract, I haven’t realky taken a good look at it.

I just took a look at the first line and that was it.

The fact that he had asked me to sign a contract means he’s up to no good hence, I decided not to take part in his madness.

” Gosh girl! What are you doing? Hurry up and let’s go. The others are there already” Diane yelled at me.

“Uhm… why don’t you go? I’ll be in class. You can meet me there ” I told her calmly.

she stared at me like I have grown two horns.

She walked closer and placed her palm on my forehead.

I rolled my eyes and removed it.

” I am perfectly fine. Thank you” I told her sarcastically.

” You sure?” she asked belatedly and I nodded.

” Where’s the Ruby that was willing to go out of her way to get him to notice her. You said you’d do anything and I thought you were anticipating his return” she bemused.

Yeah yeah.

” That was before I got married” I said and she started laughing.

What’s so funny?.

I rolled my eyes at her.

So annoying.

” You didn’t just say that, did you?” she asked unsure that I actually did.

I nodded.

” Yeah, I did. What’s the problem?” I asked.

” Nothing. You just sounded really… I dunno, you sounded mature and unlike the Ruby I once knew. Well, I get it right, I probably would be acting like you right now if I were in your shoes”

” I mean, Nathan is a lot more handsome, richer and a lot more everything. You already have your prince charming, so why go looking for…”

” I’m glad you got the point ” I cut her off with a smile.

” Well…” she started again with a cheeky smile plastered on both side of her face.

” Your friend here hasn’t found her prince charming, so if you’ll please excuse me” she said in a funny manner while gesticulating.

And I watched as she walked off after waving at me.

I smiled at her till she was consumed by the crowd and I had to go to class.

I doubt anyone would be willing to learn today.

I got to class and only few persons were there.

I walked to my seat and sat, waiting for the morning class to kick off.

The bell rang shortly after and I was glad it did.

They all started trooping in one after the other just before the teacher came in last.

” Good morning students” she greeted.

Mrs Bruce, our English teacher.

” This morning, a new student would be joining us. Do well to guide him. I don’t think I even need to say this because am sure you all will” she said and paused.

She took a look round the class before gesturing for someone at the door to enter.

The person did and I was dumbfounded to see Louis.

Oh, my!! He’s in my class.

What the…??!.

The class suddenly became noisy.

The girls screamed, shouted and cheered.

It took lots of efforts from the teacher and class president to be able to keep them shut.

” Please introduce yourself” the teacher instructed.

He nodded and came to the front of the class.

” Hi. I’m Louis… Louis Malcom. I look forward to being with you guys” he said and this was followed by a loud cheer and applause.

From goodness sake, can’t they just keep shut and act normal. Or have they forgotten they are in school.

I saw Diane turned to me and wink.

Okay, what’s up with her? Whats going through her head now?.

” Uhmm.. and for your seat” the teacher said, taking my eyes back to her and Louis.

She looked round the class for a place to put him.

I took my gaze down as I waited for her to finish with that and start teaching.

I heard her told him where to sit and after a while, I saw him walked passed me and the next thing I know, he was at my back.

I froze and wasn’t sure.

As if to confirm, I turned slowly only to get more frozen, because damn!! He was sitting right at my back.

Sharing a seat with the guy at my back – Ben; he happens to be the only one sitting alone.

Gosh!! Why didn’t I think she was gonna place him there. That was the only empty seat in class.

Oh, my!!.

Diane turned again and winked at me and I shot her a glare which made her laugh before focusing on the board.

My eyes ran into that of Lily and Cindy.

Why were they staring at me? He’s just sitting at my back, not even with me.

I glared at them and they looked away only for me to turn round and see the other girls staring at me too.

Okay, what’s going on?.

I don’t get why they are all looking at me as if I’ve snatched him away from them already.

They noticed I was looking at them and stopped.

I shook my head and took my gaze to my note.

I felt a cold hand on my back.

I turned to look at the owner ad froze

Louis!!!
