Mr CEO’s Little Bride

Alot happened



Alot happened

Ruby’s Pov;

Just like I imagined, a crowd formed in my school immediately Nathan drove in.

I don’t know how they got to know he is the one

Anyways, they wouldn’t stop shouting and screaming, almost rendering me deaf.

It was also hard for me to get down from the car, but I did eventually and the first person that attacked me was Diane.

Nathan drove away immediately, but some crazy girls still went after him, running after the car.

They came back looking disappointed as they kept shooting me murderous glares.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Do they realize this guy is way older than them?. I asked myself and chuckled silently when I realised I’m also agemates with them.

” Is there something funny or are you just really happy to show off your husband?” Diane attacked, letting go of my arm and placing it above her chest.

” Neither,” I replied.

” By the way, how did y’all know he’s the one?” I had to ask.

She scoffed.

” It’s funny how you are the only one that doesn’t know stuff about your husband – Nathan is the only one in New York that has that Bugatti” she said, smiling sheepishly.

I gasped.

” You don’t mean it?” I shrieked.

” Yeah girl, you’re married to a billionaire, yo. I think I have to start respecting your name. I mean you’re now a De Martins. That’s huge, you know” Diane shrugged.

” Oh, my! Someone’s blushing” she teased, making me blush even harder.

” So… whatsup? You weren’t in school for two days?” she asked, now looking serious.

” Oh, please! Let’s just go to class already?” I said with an eye roll.

” And we are doing just that. Why don’t you tell me the gist on our way there?” she winked.

” What gist?” I said, feigning ignorance.

She heaved.

” Gosh!! Don’t make me punch you. You know exactly what the fuck am talking about” she shrieked.

“Well, I don’t” I told her truthfully.

She stopped walking for a while to look at me.

” So, you’re saying your not being in school for two days, and Nathan coming to drop you off instead of your driver is nothing?” she asked, trying to draw the picture she had in mind.

I already knew where she was going.

” Well, nothing happened in the way you’re thinking, but something did happen” I said with a huge smile on my face, as I remembered the last two days.

” Yeah, yeah, tell me girl. I’m dying to know all about it, and who was the girl you said you met at the party?” she asked, not giving me space to breathe.

” Oh, Cindy!” I replied.

” And who’s she?” she asked further.

” Well, she’s a friend of Nathan’s friends’ ‘ I told her and she looked at me with a confused look on her face.

I took my time to explain things to her, including all that happened during the game.

” Jeez girl, that’s messed up. I can’t believe you went through all that”

” Yeah, I did, but it wasn’t as bad as you think”.

” I know right, and I didn’t know Nathan was so responsible” she said and it got me thinking if he really is.

” How do you see him?” she asked.

I arched my brows in confusion, while staring at her.

” What?”.

” I mean, what do you think about him? Do you feel he’s a good person?” she asked.

Hphm!! That’s a tough one. Do I really know him well enough?. The only things I still know about him are the things Chelsea told me, plus, those are the things I have been seeing.

” I don’t really know Diane, but I do know I would like to get to know him. I want to know what he looks like underneath” I told her truthfully.

She nodded.

” That is bound to happen anyways” she said.

” What do you mean?” I asked her, but she quickly smiled at me.

” Nothing. Just make sure to be careful, especially his friends and… have you met the rest of his family?”

” Nope. I don’t even know if he has other family members” I said.

” You’re joking right?” she asked in disbelief to which I nodded to.

” No, I’m not”

She scoffed.

” It seems I know a lot more about the family you’re married into than you” she said with a serious look on her face.

” That’s all thanks to your super huge crush on him” I teased.

” Yeah, yeah, but hey girl, you need to know these things. De Martins is a huge family and just like other wealthy and influential families, they also have their own share of betrayals, sheeps in wolves clothing and secrets” she said, the serious look still on her face.

” Okay! What’s going on? Why’s she scaring me? Did something happen while I was away or…?.

” Whatsup girl?” I asked with a chuckle.

” Listen to me Ruby, you have to be careful, you really have to, and you have to win Nathan’s heart, if not for anything, so he can protect you. He’s the only one that truly can in that family.. I don’t think you know the family you’re married into”.

” These conglomerate families are filled with monsters lurking around looking for whom to devour, and in most cases, it’s always within the family” she said as a matter of factly.

I started having goosebumps.

How come Dad never told me all these things?.

I wanted so much to know what happened but I know no matter how many times I ask, she’s never gonna tell me.

” Please, can we change the topic. You’re scaring me” I told her, taking my gaze off her face.

” Yeah, we can, but take all I’ve said to heart. You’re my best friend and that’s why I am telling you all these” she said and smiled.

” So, tell me, how was the party?” she asked, squealing.

Goodness!! I can’t believe her.. What suddenly happened to her? Where did all that seriousness vanish to?.

” I’ve told you all about it already” I told her, trying to wriggle myself out of her hold, but she held on tighter.

” No, you haven’t. What about when you got back home? Didn’t Nathan do anything?” she asked, hitting the nail on the head.

” Jesus!! Diane!! What the hell are you thinking?” I screamed.

” Uhm… nothing. I was just thinking something might have happened between you two, and you know I’m supposed to be the first person to get the whole gist. So, shoot!” she said, looking at me all over with expectant eyes.

” Well, unfortunately for you, there’s nothing to shoot. So, can you please let go of my arm now?” I asked her, but she refused and pouted instead, making me laugh out so hard.

” I can’t understand you. Don’t you want to go to class or what??” I asked.

” Oh, you caught me. We are having mathematics this morning and you know how much I love that subject” she said ironically and I laughed.

” You better start hating it. We will be having our finals soon” I replied ironically too, laughing out more.

She glared at me and let go of my arm, walking away faster in anger.

I ran after her, still laughing.

Oh, Diane!! Such a drama queen. I soon caught up with her and we both walked into the class together.

” So, like I said yesterday, the mathematics competition will be conducted a few weeks from now and two students from this class will be the ones representing us.. The two best students in the subject” she said and my heart skipped a beat.

I was the second best in mathematics and Chris, a nerdy guy, was the best.

That means!! Oh, jeez.

” After that is the school trip you guys are gonna be embarking on. Yes Sandra” she said.

” Ma’am, are we seriously embarking on a trip, I thought it was a matter of probability?” Sandra, the Queen of asking questions said.

It seems like she said what was in alot of peoples mind, because they started murmuring and some nodding in accordance and agreement to what she had said.

” The principal finalized it yesterday. It was revealed to us during the meeting we had. The announcement will be given out soon, but for now, only the staffs knows about it and I would urge you all not to act like you already know” she said.

” Yes, Diane,” she called.

” Where is the trip?” Diane asked.

” That’s still unknown for now” she said and the murmuring returned and this time, it took longer to cool down.

” That’s enough students, and like I said, it’s still unknown, but I believe you guys would be asked to chose any” she said

” They better do” a guy yelled from the back and we all nodded in agreement.

” Anyways, you all don’t have to get yourselves worked up over that. The only thing we should be focusing on now is the mathematics competition, because from the look of things, this will be the last competition before your exams”

” But we all aren’t going for the competition, so why are you referring to all of us?” another girl asked from the back.

” Because the persons going are gonna be representing not just this School but this class also. You need to cheer them up, support and encourage them. They can’t do this alone. They cant can’t do it without y’all ”

” But I still don’t see how we are gonna be of help?” another guy said.

” You will know when the time comes, for now, let’s bring out our mathematics notes and start the lessons for the day ” she said exasperatedly, letting out a tired sigh.

My note was already on the table, so I just waited for her to go on with the class.

We had a few more classes before the bell for recess rang and I was more than glad it did.

I was really famished. I wasn’t able to eat properly earlier on because I was excited to go with Nathan.

It was worth it though.

I carried my tray to a table at the far end of the cafeteria, alongside Diane.

” Easy girl!” Diane warned with a teasing voice.

” No one would believe you’re a billionaire’s wife if they see you eating like this” she said, munching on her hamburgers.

” You wont believe I barely ate anything all because I wanted Nathan to give me a ride to school” I told her and she gasped.

” Really? What happened?” she asked and I took my time to explain to her, after gulping down enough juice to help push down all I have been eating.

” Well, that’s understandable and totally worth it,” she said.

A brief silence stepped in between us.

” Uhm.. you were telling me something about his cook?” she suddenly brought up, making my stomach cringe.

I immediately lost my appetite.

” What?” she asked, noticing my change in mood.

” You won’t believe what this girl wore to come cook for Nathan” I said, the mere thought of it making my blood boil.

” Are you serious??” Diane bemoaned.

” You needed to see the way she was there, acting like she’s his wife or something”

” But why would Nathan let another lady come cook for him when you’re there?” she asked exactly the same question I had asked myself.

” He obviously thought I didn’t know how to cook,” I replied.

” What? Are you being serious?”

” I damn am! He thought I am one of those spoiled brats that doesn’t know how to do anything, but guess what, I proved him wrong” I said the last part with overexcitement in my voice.

” Really? How?” Diane asked, equally excited too.

” I woke up very early this morning and prepared his meal, ” I told her.

” Oh, my! What a bold move girl!” she exclaimed.

” You can say that again.. I totally beat her at her own game” I said proudly

” So, what was his reaction? What did he say about it?? Did he like it?” she asked and my face fell.

” What??” she asked again.

” I dont know. He didn’t say anything” I said sadly.

” Oh my God!!” she gasped, her eyes bulging out of their sockets.

” What? It sucks right?” I asked her.

” No, not that. Behind you” she said.

I furrowed my brows in confusion and slowly turned back to meet a shocker.

My heart almost ran out of my body.

What the…?

Louis!!.
