Mr CEO’s Little Bride

Like a fairytale



LIKE A FAIRYTALE

Ruby’s Pov;

The mini crowd gathered outside immediately had their eyes fixated on the car.

Some were in groups, while some were walking to and fro and others were going about their normal business.

I smiled broadly as I stepped out of the car. I didn’t wait for the driver to come get the door for me.

As soon as I did, the students started murmuring and whispering to themselves indistinctively.

I walked majestically amidst them and could hear what some of them were saying.

* Woah! Can’t believe she’s Nathan’s wife?*

* Tell me about it. She’s now a De Martins*

* Did you see that car? That must have cost a fortune*

* She’s so lucky. I wish I were in her shoes*.

These and many more I heard and they all made me smile. I was feeling so proud for the first time, until I heard one girl say something.

” Isn’t she supposed to be in her honeymoon?*.

She asked and that made me halt.

They all seem to agree with her and started discussing about it, giving me questionable looks.

The jealous ones glared at me and gave me looks that could kill.

I stared at the girl that had said it and she threw her face away. I wanted to go give her a piece of my mind when I felt a grip on my arm, I turned to see Diane grinning widely at me.

” Let go. I need to give this girl a piece of my mind” I told her through gritted teeth.

” Who?” she asked with widened eyes.

Goodness! She doesn’t even know. I thought she was holding my arm to prevent me from going.

” Then why are you holding me by the arm?” I asked her irritatedly.

” You don’t want to come in?” she stated. I didn’t know if it was a question or statement.

” What happened girl?” she asked with concern in her eyes.

I sighed and wiggled my arm out of her hold.

” Nothing. Let’s go” I said and walked out.

I heard her running behind me and she soon caught up with me.

” Why are you in school?” she asked the same question that had made me so angry a while back.

I glared hard at her and walked out again. Still, she caught up with me again, dragged me by the arm to face her.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

” What’s the problem? What’s the matter with you?” she asked again.

” Can you let go? Why do you keep grabbing me by the arm? It’s annoying” I told her off with an eyeroll.

” Whatsup? Did something happen with Nathan?” she enthused.

” Look Diane, let’s just go to class” I told her tiredly.

This isn’t the welcome I was expecting.

We got to class and as soon as they saw me, they started their own round of murmuring and whispers.

I needed no one to tell me what they were talking about.

I just walked silently to my seat, with Diane tagging behind me.

Lily and Ivy had moved to another seat far from us, and from there they sat, they stared at us and whispered amongst themselves.

“So… spill” Diane said, facing me.

” What?” I asked.

” What happened?” she asked again.

” I dont get what you mean. Why do you keep asking what happened? Is something supposed to happen?” I asked her back.

” Uhm… I thought.. By the way, why are you in school?” she asked instead.

” Where am I supposed to be?” She gave me a puzzled look.

” What did you bring for me? Come on, gist me. I need all the gist” she changed the topic instead.

” I don’t know what you are hoping to hear, but I’ve got nothing to say” I said rigidly.

” Okay babe, what exactly is going on?. You’ve got to tell me something” she said, keeping her gaze intense on mine.

” Okay” I said, taking in a very deep breathe.

” We decided to go for our honeymoon during the holidays” I explained to her.

She wasn’t looking really convinced, so I decided to spill the truth, afterall, she’s the only friend I have now and I know I can trust her.

” I wanted to come to school” I spilled out sadly.

” Why?” she asked surprised.

” Because he’s busy and I felt like a burden” I said. I couldn’t still bring myself to tell her the whole truth.

She sighed and held my palm in hers.

” You did the right thing” she said with a broad smile.

” You think?” I asked, not quite sure.

” Yeah, of course, and who knows, you might earn his respect because of this and now, he might start seeing you as not just a kid, but someone who’s actually mature. What do you think?” she asked and I forced out a smile.

” I wish that would be the case. Well, I don’t have the time to…”

” Hey Ruby, we heard something and just wanted to confirm, because I still can’t believe it” that was Stacy, my archenemy and rival.

She was with her two friends, or should I say minions.

She was like their queen and they were like her maids. She has a way of making them do her will and obey her every command.

It’s sometimes so annoying and irritating to see.

I know I’m also the type that make my friends do things for me, but am not the controlling type and I don’t force them to do those things for me, neither do I treat them as my maids.

They are my friends and we understand eachother.

Well, I don’t even have to think about that again because I have only one friend now.

” What do you want?” Diane asked with a defensive tone.

” Oh, jeez!! Don’t get all snappy on me. Was only trying to hear from the horse’s mouth” she said annoyingly.

” Is it true that you got married to Nathan Martins” one of her friends – I think Beatrice, asked.

” Do you really expect me to answer that.” I threw at her.

The three of them stared at me, awaiting my answer, their arms crossed above their chests.

” I’ll answer your question but first I need you to answer mine. How poor are you guys that you can’t even manage to afford a TV?” I asked menacingly and the loud booed I heard from the class placed a big smile on my face.

Which means they have all been listening to our conversation.

I don’t think they even have to listen because Stacy was damn loud.

I know she was trying to humiliate me, but too bad she has forgotten who Ruby really is.

” What?!!” she shrieked in terror and I was loving the reactions I was seeing.

” You heard me dear. If that’s what is the issue, then I think I can help, afterall I’m now married to the most influential and wealthiest family in the country, so buying you guys a tv won’t be an issue for me. Just think of it as a gift from me to you” I said, a huge smile plastered on my face.

The look on Stacy’s face was so frightening and amusing.

She stormed out in anger, and that out smiles on my face.

Finally, I’ve finally gotten something that will keep me excited for the rest of the day.

” That was awesome girl” Diane turned to me and said

I gave her a smile, and the bell rang immediately.

The teacher came in and we started classes right away.

Woah!! Coming to school was a good decision I made.

It was so overwhelming to be receiving all sorts of attention.

All the teachers didn’t fail to give me their congratulary statement before leaving the class, and I felt fly and on top of the world.

We went to the cafeteria and I kept receiving glances from different corners.

Infact, I was the talk of school for the whole day.

” Uhm.. what about Louis?” I was forced to ask.

I had looked for him and had been waiting for him to come to class but he never showed up.

” Oh, Louis!” Diane dragged.

” Yeah, he wasn’t in school today, or is he not resuming this week?” I asked.

” I think he isn’t, but let’s wait tomorrow and see” she replied.

” Everyone had completely forgotten about him” she said.

” How?” I asked puzzled.

” The students are more interested and caught up with your marriage to Nathan that no one seem to remember anything about Louis” she explained.

” But I heard something though… just a rumor” she said and that seem to caught my attention.

I waited patiently for her to speak up and she had to move her mouth closer to my ears to avoid being heard.

” There’s a rumor going round that he was involved in a death scandal and that’s why he’s back” she said and I gasped.

” Just like I said, it’s a rumor” she reminded.

” Woah!! I know you said that but I’m still just so surprised” I said, going over what I have heard again.

Hold on; What if it isn’t??.

Goodness!!..
