Mr CEO’s Little Bride

A Review of the contract

Ruby’s Pov;

Of course I heard him loud and clear, but I still couldn’t understand what his statement meant.

I dropped my fork, my gaze completely focused on his face.

” You haven’t gone through it, have you?” he asked, munching noisily.

Each time he took his eyes to mine, they were always cold and stern.

” What do you want from me?” I muttered under my breath.

I had lost my appetite and just wanted to get out of there… out of his sight.

” Sign the contract” he said again.

” Why? Why should I do that? Yes, I agree, we were both forced into this… we both never wanted this but the deal has been done already and there’s no going back. Why then do you want me to do whatever now, when it’s all over?” I asked raucously, taking myself and him by surprise.

He smirked, taking the handkerchief on the table to wipe his mouth.

My breath heaved up and down my chest as I awaited the worst.

Why?? Is it wrong to say the truth?. I need to be clear on things . I need to know what I’m getting into.

He doesn’t hate this as much as I do.

” Just take a look at the contract first” he told me, this time more calmly.

” And then, maybe we can talk after that?” he grinned, getting up from his seat.

I got up also and went after him.

What do I do about this now??.

The driver dropped me off first before going to God knows where with Nathan.

I could tell from their conversation that he wasn’t going straight to the office.

I walked tiredly and sluggishly into the house, to meet the least person I wanted to talk to at that moment.

Ella!!.

I rolled my eyes and proceeded to just ignore her and walk up stairs but no, she wouldn’t let me be.

She came to stand in front of me, blocking my path and preventing me from moving an inch further.

” What the hell is this rubbish??!!” I yelled at the top of my voice, not giving a fuck who was around or not.

She arched her brows moving closer to me and that made me scoff.

” You bitch. You really have some nerves. Do you think I will let you be after all you have done to me?” she asked, leaving me in a truce.

” Done to you? What the fuck did I do to you?”. I asked irritatedly, not even failing to let it show in my voice.

” You did a lot more to me than you can ever imagine. You have taken a lot more from me also. A thief and a naughty whore, that’s what you are??” she said bitterly.

” What?!” I asked, then let out a light chuckle.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

I can’t believe this madness. Does madness run in this family’s blood or what?.

I can’t believe I just finished dealing with Nathan and now am here also to deal with his sister.

Are they for real?.

” In as much as you sounded like a demented premature lunatic, I still want to know what the fuck you’re talking about, because I know have done nothing to you”

” Oh, hold on; have you been smoking?” I asked sarcastically, laying a smirk on my face.

This enraged her as she paced to and fro before coming to stand in front of me again.

” You stole my brother away from me, that’s what you did, and I will make sure you pay for that” she screamed and whined.

For a moment there, I thought she was losing it.

” I don’t understand a thing you are saying because honestly, to me, you are just busting off bullshit. It’s just like…” I went on to gesticulate it.

” He’s your brother for screaming out loud”.

” Step brother. We only share the same Dad” she said and I couldn’t believe how stupid she sounded.

Gosh?! Can she even hear herself speak right now.

” It would be more better if you both don’t share any parents at all, but girl, I don’t know what to say to you right now, because honestly, you’ve lost it”

” Do you think that beloved brother of yours would be happy to see you like this”.

” He knows I love him more than anything in this world” she defended.

” No dear, he knows you’re getting crazier by the seconds. He just doesn’t want to let you know yet” I blurted out.

” How dare you!!” she barked and attempted to slap me but I was faster and quickly held her hand in mid air.

” Don’t… you… even dare” I stretched, making sure she read my lips.

” Who the fuck do you think you’re dealing with, huh??” she ranted on.

” That was exactly the same thing you asked back at the mall, and good thing now I know who you are. So girl, I would advise you get yourself something better to do instead of obsessing over your own brother. Gosh!! I can’t even explain how it’s making me feel.. I can feel my whole body literally cringing”

” You’re a bitch” she cussed, her voice filled with anger and bitterness.

” I know” I replied rather saucily and this made her more angry and she stormed off in anger.

I stood at the spot for few minutes before going to my room.

She’s a mad girl. I had to admit.

How did her mom bring her up?. I don’t have a mom but I know I’m way better than her.

Goodness!!?.

Nathan arrived at the conference hall. It was large and filled with people from all walks of life.

It wasn’t his first time attending such, hence, there was nothing like nervousness or anxiousness in him.

He walked to them and started exchanging pleasantries with some of his business colleagues and associates.

They usually attend tons of business conferences and seminars like this yearly.

He didn’t want to come but he knows what his Dad is like.

The man is like an old version of him.

” Good Day Mr Hill” he saw one of his very close friends in the business world and decided to day hello.

” Oh, my, Nathan. It’s been so long. How have you been?” Mr Hill quickly greeted, smiling broadly.

They went on to discuss lots of things before Nathan decided to go talk to others also.

He must have spoken to about five or six of them when his secretary came to deliver a message to him.

He excused himself and went outside with him.

” What did you just say?” he asked again to be sure.

” Your Dad called and insisted to know why you declined his request to bring Ruby to the conference” he repeated what he had said earlier on.

Nathan grunted as the old man started calling immediately.

” He threatened to get her driver to drive her to this place if you don’t do something about this immediately, ” the secretary added.

Nathan thought it best to ignore the calls.

He didn’t understand why he would have to bring her along with him to such a place.

Does he really have to make it obvious that he’s now a married man?

Not many of them bring their wives. It’s not even an official or celebration setting.

He wonders what was going on in the old man’s head, and knowing his Dad so well, he wouldn’t fail to carry out his threat.

” Let’s go,” Nathan turned to his secretary immediately and said.

The look on the secretary’s face was alarming.

” But… but we just got…” he stopped talking when he realised he better not argue with Nathan.

Nathan left him there and walked angrily to the car.

” To the mansion” he instructed the driver just before his secretary rushed in.

They were on their way soon.

They arrived at the mansion soonest, and Nathan got out of the car still angry.

He was trying to hold it all in but couldn’t.

He stormed into the sitting room and started yelling at the top of his voice.

His secretary was dropped off at a junction where he took a cab to the office.

” Do you plan on bringing this house down? Do you think I would take yours as compensation?” Mr Martins asked subtly, gently climbing down the stairs, ignoring the murderous stares from his son.

He walked gallantly till he got to the couch and took a seat.

” What do you think you’re doing?” Nathan asked, a little calmer now.

” Speak in a way I can understand,” Mr Martins said to his son.

” What the fuck did you say earlier??” he yelled, unable to hold it in any longer.

He was mad… so mad it angered him.. He hated being controlled and told what to do.

His Dad knows this more than anyone and that’s why he’s trying to do just what he hated with hopes that he can tame him.

” You wouldn’t dare raise your voice at me in that manner” he told him off.

” I’ve made my decision” he said next, making Nathan arched up his brows.

What decision??!.
