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.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

” 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 face

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..??.
