Mr CEO’s Little Bride

The studio

Ruby’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 have a fight?” he suddenly asked, making me furrow my brows.

” What?” I asked, looking perplexed.

” Nathan, I mean”

” No. Why did you ask?”

” Well, I thought you would be eager to see him off, but judging by the time you woke up…”

” What do you mean see him off?” I cut him off, heaving deeply.

” Don’t tell me you don’t know he travelled this morning” he asked, looking at me despondently.

” What??. No, no. Of course I didn’t know!” I blurted out.

I was so out of it. How come I didn’t know about it?.

” Ohh!!. That’s sad” Louis said.

” Where did he go, and when is he coming back?” I asked in awe.

” I think it’s Thailand for a business trip. He’s spending at least a week there” he informed, making me scoff.

I can’t believe this… I can’t believe this guy.

” It’s okay if you didn’t know. It happens sometimes. These things can’t be helped” he said with a smile, trying to cheer me up, but I was still down.

I was missing him already.

Imagine hearing from another person that my husband is on a business trip. Imagine not even knowing my husband’s whereabouts. Imagine not even knowing what’s going on in his life.

He was just here yesterday. How come he never said a word to me?.

Does he hate me that much?.

I felt really sad, and Louis did all he could to get me to smile but I couldn’t.

Phew!!.

” What are you doing here by the way?” I decided to ask him.

” Seriously? You’re asking me what I’m doing in a garden?” he asked and scoffed.

He stood up and walked a certain distance, then turned and smiled at me.

” Wanna see something?” he asked, stretching out his palm to me.

“What would that be?” I asked, getting up but I refused to take his hand.

I walked ahead of him like I knew where he was taking me.

He led the way later and we got to another part of the garden.

I haven’t even been to the whole of the garden, so this part was like another place to me entirely.

I gazed in amazement and a smile suddenly creeped into my lips.

It’s beautiful.

” You like it?” he asked and I nodded.

” It’s beautiful” I said, smiling.

” I’m glad you like it and I’m glad you’re now smiling” he said, his eyes showing affection.

I got lost staring at them for a second, and then quickly snapped myself back to reality.

” Get it together Ruby” I told myself.

” Uhm… how did you find out about this place by the way?” I asked instead, trying to dissolve the tension between us.

He chuckled and walked around for a while.

” Well, I’m pretty good at finding things out,” he said.

I nodded and looked around a bit more.

” We should head back now. I haven’t had my bath, and I have homework ” I told him.

” Oh, that reminds me,” he said.

” What?”

” I’m so glad we get to live together like this,” he said.

” I’m leaving if you’re gonna spew nonsense ” I said and started heading out.

” Come on, I was only trying to say we can do school stuff together. Like this homework for example” he tried to explain, walking very close to me, but I ignored him.

We came out at the other side of the garden and I walked out also, and started heading inside.

” Have you had breakfast?” he asked.

I shook my head.

” I wanna take my bath first,” I told him and waved.

” See you around ” he said and I nodded, before leaving.

” So, the coefficient of x would be what?” I asked Louis, and raised my head to look at him when I didn’t get an answer after a few minutes.

I found him staring at me.

” Are you okay?” I glared.

” What?” he asked with a smirk.

I shook my head in disbelief.

” Were you even listening to all I have been saying?” I asked him in anger.

” Chill. I heard all you said” he replied.

” Really? Then answer the question” I growled.

” Hmmm. It seems you miss him” he said instead.

” Miss who?”

” Nathan”

I rolled my eyes , picked my books and textbooks and got up.

” What? Where are you going?” he asked, holding my wrist.

” I can see you’re not ready to learn. This is such a waste of my time” I said angrily.

” Goodness!! Can you please be calm? I was only kidding” he tried to explain himself.

” You obviously don’t want to learn. You can go look for someone else to tutor you. As for me, I don’t have a lot of time to spare” I told him off.

He sighed.

” I’m sorry okay.. I didn’t mean to. Just let it slide. It won’t happen again” he apologized sincerely, and I had no choice but to sit.

” Thanks,” he said.

” You better behave,” I warned.

” Yes ma’am” he shouted, giving a salute.

This brought smiles to my face, and we continued.

” And that would be all” I said in conclusion.

” Woah!! I never knew I could understand mathematics like this” he exclaimed.

” That happens if you concentrate and put your mind to it,” I told him, arranging my books.

We walked back into the mansion together and I went to my room.

I knew without being told that the rest of the day was gonna be boring for me.

A knock came to my door.

” Come in!” I yelled and the door creaked open, revealing Louis.

I sat upright on the bed, staring at him with an arched brow.

” Uhm… would you like to uhm… go somewhere with me?” he asked nervously.

I’ve never been to a recording studio before, but I knew I would love the experience there because I love music.

There were instruments of all kinds, and a lot of them were unknown to me.

I looked round like a novice, my mouth wide apart in a gasp, and my jaws dropping.

” This is beautiful” the words escaped from my lips even before I could get a hang of them.

” I know right” Nathan said walking into the recording section.

It was just him and I.

I couldn’t tell if it was a private recording studio or not.

” Uhmmm… aren’t there supposed to be like uhm, producers and beat makers here?” I asked, looking around me once more.

He smiled and brought down his earphone.

” I haven’t them hired yet,” he said, leaving me more confused.

” I own it” he said again, and I got even more confused.

” I own this… all this” he said, gesticulating.

The realisation dawn on me just as quickly as the shock registered on my faceNôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Oh, my world!! Goodness!.

Is it because he’s a De Martins or does he just have his own money??.

” This is freaking cool!!” I exclaimed in excitement, touching the keyboard and other equipment.

He just smiled and watched me.

” I’m glad you like them” he said.

” What?? I fucking love them” I said excitedly.

” If you do that much, then how about you come with me whenever I’m coming over”

“That would be so great!” I squealed.

I held the microphone there.

It was blue and very beautiful. Alot of things were there and I wanted to ask him all about them.

He suddenly went silent. I didn’t hear him say a word again.

” Louis!!” I turned to see what he was doing, only to find him standing at my back… very close.

I could swear I didn’t notice him standing so close.

Maybe I was too engrossed in my thoughts and the things there.

“What??” he asked, closing the little space between us.

He was now very close and our breaths were colliding.

I could feel his breath fanning my forehead.

My heart beat accelerated. I didn’t like the position we were in, but still, I couldn’t mutter up the courage and strength to push him off.

What the hell..??.
