Chapter 36Still on it.Ruby's Pov;The looks on their faces was telling me something else." Alright. Let's get started" Jim said excitedly, getting ready." Aren't you supposed to like get the approval of everyone here, except of course, not everyone is playing" Nathan said staring directly at Jim.He seem to be the only one he talks to, thereby acting like the rest of us are nonexistent." Everyone has agreed already. Or...." Jim said looking around us." You think so, because I'm not playing" Nathan let out exasperatedly." And why's that?" Camilla asked sharply.He shoot her a glare which made her retreat immediately." You're here which automatically makes you one of us. So, you're playing " Chelsea said after all this while with a note of finality.The seriousness in her tone caught Nathan off guard.He kept a straight face and relaxed back on the chair." So...who's starting?" Christy, who was sitting close to Sasha and the other girls asked." I'll start and then it's gonna g
Chapter 37The gameAuthor's Pov;Chelsea grinned, while staring at them. " I'm his sister"" Cousin" Shella corrected." It doesn't matter, we are related, that's all I know" Chelsea said, making sure to sink it into her brain.They both glared at themselves." What's taking them so long?" Christy asked, looking pale." Don't tell me you're waiting for them to come back so you'll continue." Peter asked her and she nodded." Do you seriously think Nathan would have...."" Here they are," Camilla said when she saw Ruby and Nathan approaching them.They got back to the chair and took their seats." So...where were we?" Camilla asked excitedly, looking at everyone.No one said nothing.They were all expecting Nathan to say something but he didn't." I stopped at Sasha right?" she asked, turning to her." So...your reply" " Why are we still playing this dumb game?" Nathan grumbled inaudibly, bringing silence to the table." What do you mean dumb? We used to play it all the time, and I do
Chapter 38Cindy!!Ruby's Pov;I heard a loud bang in my head.Whaaat?!!.I didn't say anything and I said nothing. I knew I couldn't say anything.I just sat there as I allowed the words to resonate in my head.They are so shameless. I had to admit." You must be sick!!" Chelsea lashed out at her.Christy eyed her and turned to Nathan and Camilla.Camilla got up immediately and started walking to where Nathan was seated." Come on!" she said seductively at him." You better get your slutty self out of my sight!" Nathan warned in anger.Camilla flinched and stopped right on her track." You better stop this Nathan. This isn't the first time you're breaking the rules of our game. You always refuse to do things" Christy said in anger.Chelsea scoffed." I can't believe what's going on here. Are you guys being serious right now?" she said in anger." You stay out of this. A game is a game" Camilla enthused.Nathan smirked." And what makes you think I'll kiss those lips you take in sper
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
