Mr CEO’s Little Bride

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

Ruby’s Pov;

” Oh, jeez Ruby!! Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier!!” Diane squealed in happiness, making me wonder the cause of her happiness.

I arched my brows and stared at her in confusion. She saw this and let down her happy mood.

” You didn’t know?” she asked amusingly.

” Know what? No, I didn’t” I shook my head, looking lost as ever.

What could be making her this excited?.

She shrugged and the next thing I know, she took my palm in hers and started dragging me out of the classroom, not forgetting to take my bag with me.

I wanted to object because it wasn’t closing time yet, but she did the shush signal and that kept me shut immediately.

I had absolutely no idea what was going on with her and just went with her, only to come out and meet the biggest shock of my life.

Damn it!!.

I couldn’t believe it. Nathan’s car was right in the middle of the school compound with him inside and all the students of my school practically gathered around it, giggling, chuckling, smiling and doing one sort of funny thing or the other.

They were all amused, thrilled and woahed by him.

I couldn’t believe it. What… What’s he doing here?.

He’s so complicated. I couldn’t wait to find out why he was here.

The noise died down a bit and I stretched to see why. His bodyguard was out of the car and walking around. I knew without a doubt that he was looking for me.

The place was now calm and quiet unlike before. The students behaved themselves and some even shifted as he approached, thereby creating some sort of space for him to go through.

It didn’t take long before he found me and as soon as he did, he bowed, then came to me, took my bag and started leading me to the car.

All this while, I was in a truce. I couldn’t do or say anything.

I blinked rapidly as he led me to the car and as we did, all I could hear were whispers and murmurs.

I didn’t even care to give thoughts to them but I felt on top of the world.

I’ve become even more popular in school.

Goodness!! Who knew Nathan could do something like this?.

I wondered what happened tho, because I know he’s not the type to be like this.

Just before I got into the car, I turned to take one last glance at Diane, she smiled at me and gestured for me to go on, which I did eventually.

I got into the car to find Nathan seated there, staring directly into his phone.

How was he able to concentrate on his phone with all that noise around him?.

It’s not like he had anything to block out the noise from his ears.

Gosh!! I don’t even know.

He didn’t even turn to take a look at or acted like someone was in the car with him.

The driver wasted no time in turning on the engine and we were on our way soon.

That was something.

I was curious to know why he had come to pick me up at school but I couldn’t dare ask.

I’ve gotten a lot more timid than the last time. I don’t know if it has anything to do with coming back home.

I was quite bold back in our honeymoon.

I fiddled with my fingers and bit my lower lip.

I looked for what to think about and what Diane had told me earlier at the cafeteria seemed to come to my mind again and I decided to ponder on that.

It was a hassle trying to figure out if it truly was a rumor or otherwise.

I wasn’t even close to this guy and I don’t even know him enough to know what is the truth.

Oh, my! I could feel everything in my life going the wrong way.

First, it was my father’s business, second my life and this marriage, and now a guy that I’ve had a crush on since elementary school.

The car suddenly felt suffocating.

” Uhm… could… could you open the window a little bit?” I asked the driver in a low pitched tone.

My palms were sweaty and my throat became dry and stuffy.

The air inside became so hot all of a sudden despite the Air conditioning.

Sweat gushed out from all over my body making me uneasy and uncomfortable and making me wonder if I had done something to irritate my sweat glands.

I felt as though I wanted to make use of the toilet so badly, but that wasn’t the case. I felt slight pains below my abdomen, and that’s when I realised it was taking ages for the driver to grant my wish.

I turned to Nathan and discovered he was the reason.

The driver possibly can’t do it without getting permission from him also.

” Do it” he gave out the instruction quickly, like he knew I was going to ask and didn’t want me to disturb him.

The window turned up and I gasped and leaned closer to the window, inhaling the fresh breeze that was coming in.

Just what I needed.

I placed my hand on my stomach and tried to subside the pain by rubbing it gently, but it did nothing to pacify the overwhelming pain that had taken over in a short matter of time.

I tried to make it not so noticable, although I know the guy beside me wouldn’t even flinch or turn to take a look at me.

Just like what seemed like a miracle, the car came to a halt and the driver stepped down.

He opened the car doors for us and we came down also.

I came face to face with a very tall, huge building.

I arched my brows in confusion, wondering what we were doing at a place like that, but there was no one to ask.

The driver stood outside, while Nathan led the way.

I stood there looking lost.

” Is anything the problem? You have to go with Sir Nathan” the driver came and whispered behind me.

I jerked up and nodded, then hurried my steps to catch up with Nathan who was so close to the door.

I got in with him just before he closed the door.

We walked to the elevator and got in, heading to the last floor.

The pains came nudging at me with full force, and I had to hold the walls for support.

Holy Christ!! Why now? Why today of all days?.

The pains were becoming unbearable and I just wished whatever we were there to do won’t take so long.

I really needed to take care of this as soon as possible.

We got to our destination and Nathan walked out right away, walking into a room… like a conference room just close by.

There were few men in suits and they all shook hands with him.

It was obviously a business meeting so I wondered why he had brought me with him.

They discussed and did some other stuff that made no sense to me, and after that, they signed some documents and it was time to call it a day.

I was so glad.

” Nice to meet you Mrs. I’m glad I finally got to meet the wife of the almighty Nathan. Who knew he could get married with this personality of his, and a very beautiful wife at that” one of the men said and laughed out loud.

The word ‘ Mrs’ sank into me and that’s when I realized my marital status has really changed.

” Let’s just hope we’ll start seeing some changes in him now that he’s married” another said, and I stood up to bow and greet them but Nathan did a shocking thing.

He held me by the wrist and threw me down to the chair, making me sit my butt back down.

I was shocked, perplexed and confused and I know the men there were too.

They all exchanged puzzled looks, but quickly covered it up with fake laughter.

I had no way of knowing if they were angry or not.

They exchanged pleasantries with Nathan and I once more, before taking their leave, leaving just Nathan and I.

I guess they are used to his cold personality, so his behavior didn’t freak them out.

I was more confused when he was still seated. I was expecting him to walk out with them.

Goodness!! Doesn’t he want to go home?.

He stood up as soon as they were fully gone.

I stood up also, walking behind him like a stray dog.

” Won’t you just sit your butt down?” he barked at me and I flinched.

Why’s he so mad and why’s he taking it out on me? What have I done now?.

I can’t just understand him and his temper, because from all indications, the business whatever had gone well, so what’s with him?.

” With all due respect Mr Nathan, I would appreciate it if you tell me why you’re so mad at me?” I said angrily and sarcastically too.

” How dare you use that tone on me?” he shot at me.

” How about the tone you’re using on me?” I shot back, making his jaws drop in shock.

He so wasn’t expecting that.
