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 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
