Chapter 39Just as much.Ruby's Pov;I was fast enough to get into the car before he drove off.I don't really get why he's so angry. It's not like I knew we were gonna be leaving soon, and it's not like I delayed on purpose.If only Cindy had gone with me to say hi, then none of this would have happened.I couldn't even afford to stare at him. I thought the party was just starting and that we still had a lot of time to spend there.Phew!!.I just hope he doesn't get angrier than he is now.He was driving at a crazy speed and all this while, my head was down, a remorseful look on my face.We finally got home and he stormed into the house, while I followed behind him like a mouse.He ran up the stairs to his room, leaving me to wander with my thoughts.I sluggishly climbed up the stairs also, heading to my room.It was a few hours away from midnight and I was still wide awake.I wasn't tired or anything. I got to my room and changed into my nightwear after showering.I tried to go to
Chapter 40Alot happenedRuby'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 oneAnyways, 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.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 husban
Chapter 41Private TutorRuby's Pov;Our eyes interlocked and he smiled.My heart skipped a beat as I quickly took my eyes away from him.Why the hell is he behind me? He was so close. How come I didn't notice him standing so close to me?." Can I sit?" he came in front of me and asked, making me choke on the snacks still in my mouth.He didn't wait for a reply and quickly drew out a chair before taking his seat.His eyes never left me and it made me even more uncomfortable, more than the eyes of the other students that were staring at us.I wondered if I would be able to sleep tonight. The piercing and glaring eyes of the other girls was enough to kill anyone.I had to stop eating as I had suddenly lost my appetite." Hey?!" Diane waved at him. He smiled at her which got her blushing and then took his gaze back to me.From where I sat, I could see Lily and Ivy staring at me dangerously.I glared at them and they looked away.Sighing, I took my gaze to Louis." What do you want?" I ha
Chapter 42WeekendRuby's Pov;We ate silently, with only the sound from our cutleries being heard.I was surprised when Nathan came back from work on time.It got me thinking if he was purposely coming late all those times we were at the mansion.I was glad when I got back to school and when to the kitchen to find it as I had left it.It seems Stacy got the message. She didn't touch anything. The food I prepared was still there when I got back and hers was there also." Get ready. We are going to the Mansion for the weekend" Nathan said amidst mouthfuls.I have never seen this side of him. He looked so carefree, normal and easygoing.Someone might mistake us for the perfect couple.I simply nodded, not wanting to ask the reason for it.Maybe he's decided to go back.EARLIER IN THE DAYAuthor's Pov;Mr Martins walked into his son's office and started staring round." Can you please cut to the chase. Stop staring at my office like this is the first time you've been in it" Nathan snappe
Chapter 43A little somethingRuby's Pov;I was sad that morning. Don't ask me why.It's obviously because Nathan isn't gonna drop me off in school that morning.I still didn't know why we are still here...in the mansion.Did he change his mind and decided to stay?.Anyways, I got dressed for school, had breakfast and my driver drove me off.Things went back to normal. The distance between us got even wider as I now struggled to even see him on a daily basis." I can't believe you're still waiting for him?" I heard Ella scoff behind me.I turned and glared at her." Looks like you've fallen head over heels for him. Well, I can't blame you, who wouldn't?" she said with an eye roll" So, what's your point?.Are you saying it's wrong for me to wait up for my husband, or what?" I flared up.She shrugged and walked back into the house.I finally saw his car driving in, beamed and ran back to my room.While in my room, I looked out through my window. From there, I was able to see everything
Chapter 44A surprise visitAuthor's Pov;What Mr Martins had told his son - Nathan that morning, kept bothering him.They had quite a heart to heart talk and that's one of the reasons he was still at the mansion." Do I really have to do that?" he asked his father." He's my son too Nathan and your brother. You might not accept it now, but you'll later come to"" He can't be away from the family forever. He's a part of this family and has rights here too. It's only sooner or later that he'll come seeking for what is his" Mr Martins had explained, while Nathan looked on with a blank expression on his face.That didn't bother him.A brother!. One he had never meant. He still wasn't sure how that was going to play out for him, but he hoped not to be swayed.He's ready to move out at any time..He's ready to leave the company at any time.The least thing he wanted in his life right now was to fight over inheritance, he'd better just leave it for whomever, not that he wasn't already succe
Chapter 45Welcome back, son.Author's Pov;Seeing Louis in the company was still a big blow to Ruby.She knew he had told her he came to see someone but she was still feeling uneasy. She still felt like something was wrong somewhere. She glanced over at Nathan's side. He was still busy...taking calls here and there.It was night already and they were just going home. She was so tired and didn't know when she fell asleep.Nathan parked for a while to adjust her sleeping position. They still had quite a distance to cover and sleeping like that would hurt her neck.He pushed her hair to the back of her ear and gazed into her eyes, a smile formed at the corners of his lips.He doesn't know what's funny or why he was acting like that but he quickly got back to his senses and hit the road immediately.He stole glances at her at intervals.They soon got home and he carried her all the way to her room, careful not to wake her up." You're back son!" Tracy greeted with a warm smile on her fa
Chapter 46Total disaster.Author's Pov;Emotions brushed through the skins and graven silence perched on the walls of the dinning, engulfing the graceful and delightful dinner put in place.Candle lights were the centre of attraction as they lighted and ignited a different aura and flame.A poet wouldn't describe this scene as just a dinner. A dinner with people harbouring various thoughts in mind…different questions.At a time like this is when silence is most golden, but it just so happens that at a time like this is when words would be most appreciated.Alot needed to be explained and alot needed to be sorted out also.Ella could feel her anger increasing as the seconds went by. She felt like a laughingstock in a family she holds so dear and in high esteem.She feared for her next outburst and did all she could to stay quiet.Only the sound from their cutleries could be heard." What's taking Nathan so long? Do you think he's still at the office?" Tracy, who was sitting just besid
Chapter 53First nightRuby's Pov;The dim immaculate light gave a tender touch to the atmosphere as his soft and large arms grazed my skin...softly.I stared deeply into his eyes, my heart thumping hard against my chest.My chest became heavy and I let him take over my body. His scent filled my nose and his hands were all over him.He soon stopped kissing me and took his left hand in between my thighs, stroking it slowly.I let out a soft moan as he used his index finger to trail up and down my thigh.It was heavenly and I bit my tongue in pleasure.I shut my eyes tight, my hands still wrapped around his neck.He gently let go of my hand and took his head down. He brought it to my thighs and placed it there.I shivered at the hot air that escaped from his mouth to my thigh.I grabbed the bed sheet immediately and he started using his tongue to graze my skin.It was torture. He was torturing me, so much, but I loved every bit of it.Why? Why do I love it?.I felt this hot air in my t
Chapter 52First kissRuby's Pov;I woke up with a heavy migraine, which hit me hard as soon as I opened my eyes.I struggled to open my eyes and sit up straight and suddenly, my eyes ran into his.Those blue dazzling eyes were setting my skin ablaze.His face was cold as ice and his gaze didn't leave my body. It traced and followed every movement I made.He suddenly stretched out his hand to mine and pulled me up gently.He came closer and placed a pillow at my back in support." Hey!" he sat back and said.I fiddled with my fingers, staring down at them.He used his fingers to lift up my chin and stared into my eyes." How are you feeling?" he asked calmly.I couldn't tell what time of the day it was.To be honest, I was still feeling weak and dizzy...maybe I didn't sleep enough.The door creaked open and a maid walked in.I looked around to see I was in my room at the mansion.A disappointed look appeared on my face as I was expecting him to take me to the penthouse.She dropped a
Chapter 51RescuedRuby's Pov;I stood there in fear watching as he approached me eagerly.He immediately pulled me into his arms in a warm embrace as soon as he got close.The police officers were taking the criminals away and he was with me...stroking my hair slowly as I inhaled his sweet scent.I was a bit taken aback by his actions, but with time, I shut my eyes and hugged him back.We stayed this way for a while before he pulled away and cupped my face in his palm.His face was cold and damn serious which got me confused as to how worried he could have been." Let's go home!" he said softly and led me to the car, holding my wrist.He opened the car door and I got in.FEW HOURS AGO" What do you mean you still haven't found her? What did I pay you that huge amount of money for?" Nathan growled into the phone." Boss...boss!!" he heard someone call from the other end." Uhm...excuse me" the guy told him and the call was placed on hold." Good timing. We have found her" he resumed t
Chapter 50Author's Pov;" Take me to Ruby's School" Nathan told his driver who nodded and reversed immediately.He was just coming back from the airport and wanted to surprise her in school.It's bene two freaking weeks and he has missed her.He wasn't sure he would, but he did.**Ruby's face had panic and fear in them as they car overtook and showed up in front of them, blocking their path.Her heart beat accelerated as she shook in fear.She started praying fervently in her heart, but it was all just in vain.Within a twinkle of an eye, she was dragged away from her car to the other car by hefty men.She could neither scream nor struggled. They were so strong and huge.She wondered if that's how her life is gonna end.Her driver shivered in panic, looking lost and confused.The highway was empty and quiet and there were few passerbys and therefore, few witnesses." We are here" Nathan's driver announced.Nathan brought up his heart from his phone to see it was true." Go in and c
Chapter 49About timeRuby's Pov;I stared at the school notice board and what I saw made my heart skip, but in a good way though.Pictures of Nathan were all over it, and there was an announcement at the top of it.I quickly read through it and heaved a sigh of relief when I was done.Thank goodness!! I thought something bad had happened."Your husband is the best in the world. Imagine funding his wife's school trip. Awnn!! How sweet!!" Diane whirled and danced around romantically, making me shake my head for her.She was acting like a drama queen right now and it was making me sick." Can you snap out of it and let's go to class?" I told her and started walking away." Hey, wait up!" she yelled after me, running.She finally caught up and we walked in together.I paused at the door in shock, staring face to face into those deep blue eyes...just like his brother's.I was taken aback for a while and quickly had to snap out of it and walk behind Diane quickly before she would notice.I
Chapter 48Way more than thatRuby'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 did
Chapter 47The studioRuby's Pov;I woke up to a sudden feeling of tiredness.It was a Saturday and there was nothing to do.The bright light from the sunlight shining through my window had woke me up.I got up immediately and went out.It was already very bright and I started wondering why I wasn't called for breakfast.I walked to the garden and sat down, feeling tired for no reason." Hey!" a voice cooed behind me.I turned to see Louis.He smiled and started walking closer." Hey!" I said back, taking my gaze to the floor." You woke up late, huh?" he said, taking a seat close to me." How are you? Hope you've adjusted well?" I asked, trying to be friendly." Yeah!" he said." I can't believe you're Nathan's brother" I enthused, looking at him." Tell me about it. I am now starting to think you're meant to be close to me" he said, smiling and looking at me also." What?" " Nothing. Just kidding" he said and laughed loudly.I smiled and we both stared into space." Did you guys ha
