Mr CEO’s Little Bride

Rescued

Ruby’s Pov;

I stood there in fear watching as he approached me eagerly.

He immediately pulled me into his arms in a warm embrace as soon as he got close.

The police officers were taking the criminals away and he was with me… stroking my hair slowly as I inhaled his sweet scent.

I was a bit taken aback by his actions, but with time, I shut my eyes and hugged him back.

We stayed this way for a while before he pulled away and cupped my face in his palm.

His face was cold and damn serious which got me confused as to how worried he could have been.

” Let’s go home!” he said softly and led me to the car, holding my wrist.

He opened the car door and I got in.

FEW HOURS AGO

” What do you mean you still haven’t found her? What did I pay you that huge amount of money for?” Nathan growled into the phone.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

” Boss… boss!!” he heard someone call from the other end.

” Uhm… excuse me” the guy told him and the call was placed on hold.

” Good timing. We have found her” he resumed the call and said.

A smirk creeps into Nathan’s face.

” Good. You know what to do.. Take care of the rest” he told them and ended the call.

Nathan made sure Ruby was resting comfortably and peacefully before he left to finish what he had started.

The room wasn’t that dark and all the weapons he had requested were on the table. This brought smiles to his face.

They were tied up after being beaten severely.

His eyes were bloodshot and cold.

He walked to the chair in the middle, facing them.

” I’m only gonna ask once” he started slowly, a hammer in his right hand.

As he was swinging it in the air and staring downright at the floor.

” Who sent you?” he let out the question slowly.

He stood up and walked to the table in front of them that was filled with different harmful objects. There was alcohol and a glass there so he poured himself some.

He took a sip and before anyone could say jack, the rest landed on their skins.

They wailed and cried out in pain, the agony speaking of untold hardship and pain.

They felt like dying. It was just too painful.

The alcohol opened up all the injuries they have and made it even worse.

” I told you I hate repeating myself” Nathan groaned, filling the glass again.

He left the glass on the table and beckoned on one of his boys to come help him out.

They held one of the goons’ fingers on the table and Nathan brought out the hammer.

” No, sir. Please, leave it to us” the boy pleaded with him but was ignored.

” Ahhh! No, no! Please. We are sorry. Ahhhhh!!” the goon who already knew what Nathan was about to do started pleading in fear and terror.

Nathan’s eyes were cold.

” I’ll tell you. Please, don’t just do these ” the guy pleaded again, shaking visibly and pleading for his life.

” Then hurry up and do that. Do you want to die here?” the boy asked him.

Nathan hesitated for a while and walked back to the table.

He brought out a napkin and cleaned his hands with it.

” It… it was Cindy” the goon said and Nathan scoffed.

Who the hell is Cindy? He asked himself.

He poured another drink into another glass and took a sip from it.

” We are telling the truth sir. It was ma’am Cindy. She made us do it. We have no reason to lie. Please spare us” another said, in fear.

” Who the hell is that?!!” Nathan yelled, shattering the glass across the wall in anger.

This made them flinch.

His chest heaved as he spoke and the anger made him turn away because looking at them only brought memories of Ruby to his head.

He still remembered how she was looking… looking so scared, tired and exhausted.

She was frightened and that ripped his heart apart.

Now… who the fuck is this Cindy? Who’s she and why’s she messing with him this way?.

He knew anyone would only attempt to hurt her because of him, but he doesn’t even know her.

” She’s your friend sir,” another said.

” My friend?” he asked with a snare and turned to look at them again.

One of the guys he hired walked closer to him, holding an ipad.

A girl’s picture and details were on it.

He stared at her hard and long but couldn’t remember her still.

Where the hell does he know her?. He couldn’t remember or place his head around it.

” Apparently, she and your wife met at the party you both went to the last time” the guy started, making sure to explain to him in detail.

” You both used to be very close and worked together severally while she was still running her Dad’s business. Some people thought you guys were dating, while others thought you guys would end up together eventually” he went further and Nathan scoffed again at the ridiculous tale.

But then, suddenly, he paused as it clicked.

Yeah… now he does remember her. How could he forget that bitch.

” Cindy?” he muttered, taking the iPad from him.

He couldn’t believe his eyes.

He thought she had gone to the US never to come back.

What the fuck was she doing here? And why was she causing so much trouble for him? How come she was at that party and he didn’t know? How come she met Ruby and he didn’t know?.

Ruby never said anything.

Oh, goodness! It seems she has targeted Ruby just to do this.

Now, it all makes sense to him.

She came back for this… she came back to have revenge on him.

She still hasn’t let go of what happened between them in the past.

She still hasn’t let go of her obsession over him.

She was here for revenge, but too bad she picked the wrong person to mess.

” Get the car ready, we are going somewhere interesting” he said into the phone, a cheesy smile on his face.
