Mr CEO’s Little Bride

The final straw.

Nathan’s Pov;

I slammed the door angrily, walking to and fro in anger.

I can’t believe this man I call my father.

What exactly does he take me for? Does he seriously still see me as that little boy of yesterday who had just lost his mother and was so vulnerable, fragile and gullible?.

I thought he would have known better by now.

I thought he would know alot about me now, but his current behavior just shows he doesn’t know a single thing about me.

I think it’s time to let him know. I was so angry and mad and didn’t think I would be able to stand him.

I walked to my wardrobe to change my clothes to go out.

I already had plans with Rex – my best friend, to hang out at our favourite bar later in the day.

I didn’t like the outfit I was putting on so I wanted to change before I heard a knock on the door.

I knew who it was already and didn’t even bother to go answer it or see who it was when the person walked in.

” I have no plans of discussing this with you any….”

“So it’s true… it’s true that you’re getting married?” I heard her tiny voice, but it felt weird, as if she was crying .

I had to quickly turn to look at her and I was right.

She has tears stuck to her corner of her eyes.

” Ella” I called with a surprised look on my face.

What is she trying to pull right now? I’ve got no time for this nonsense stunt of hers.

” Get out. I have somewhere I need to be and I was just about to change before you came in” I told her off rudely.

” Seriously? Do my tears mean nothing to you or do you think I am acting sick? Oh, lemme guess, you don’t give a damn about your only sister again because you’re about to get married right?” she said like a sick puppy, fighting for its owner’s love and attention.

Goodness!! I really don’t think I can deal with her.

She’s so frustrating.

” Exactly what I was about to say. You’re my sister so act like it and stop acting like a jealous girlfriend” I scolded.

She wiped her tears and scoffed.

” She must be really pretty”

” Get out ” I was so damn angry right now and could do something I would regret if she didn’t leave right away.

I’m not gonna do this with her.

” Nathan!!” she yelled my name.

I diverted my gaze when I saw tears running down her cheeks.

What sort of rubbish is this? Why is she being such a drama queen?.

” You’re so out of your mind” I rasped in anger, took my clothes and was about to get into the bathroom, when she ran to me and held me, preventing me from moving an inch further.

” W… what are you doing?” I batted my eyelashes at her.

” C… can… can you not get married?” she asked, but it sounded more like a request.

” Were you deaf back at the dinner?” I got so mad at her.

” What if there’s a way to stop this, will you let me help you?” she asked. I looked in her eyes and they were full of hope.

Gosh!! How did I end up with someone so crazy as a sister?.

She’s as crazy as her mom. Gosh!!.

” Get out!!” I yelled a little louder, and pushed her off me.

She was taken aback but I cared less. She seriously has to stop behaving this way around me, if not I would have to cut off all ties with her completely.

I can’t have her acting all that way around me, it’s getting irritating and I was no longer finding it funny.

Before, I used to think of it as a sister’s affection and fondness, but now I know it’s more than that.

I think she’s obsessed with me… not in a good way, and it creeps me out.

I think it’s time I finally move back to my penthouse.

Good thing I’m getting married anyway, that would be a good reason to move out of this hellhole I call a house.

Speaking of marriage, I have just the perfect plan for that.

I thought and grinned.

Rex waved at me, directing me to where he was.

We usually have our own spot at the bar but I couldn’t find him there. I was surprised at first and had thought he wasn’t there yet, then decided to call him and here we are.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I walked to meet him and we exchanged pleasantries in the form of a handshake.

” What’s up bro? It’s been a while” he said, all smiles, before calling on the bar man.

” You can say that again”.

” What? You don’t look so good”.

” Tell me about it. I just got back to find out that I am about to become a married man” I informed and instead of getting a surprised response at least, he bursted out laughing.

I was shocked at his reaction, as I quickly emptied the glass of alcohol that was placed in front of me.

” What’s so funny?” I asked irritatedly.

Why’s everyone so determined to be annoying today?.

” Are you serious? Bro!!” he squealed and I couldn’t place my hands on why he was reacting this way.

” What are you getting at? Stop acting like a lunatic” I told him.

” Alright, alright ” he said, letting down his laughter.

“Please tell me you’re joking,” he enthused.

” When have I ever done that? When have I ever joked with you?” I asked him.

” Right, just what I was about to ask, but dude, if what you’re telling me is true, then what happened, because I know you swore never to get married. Why the sudden change of heart?” he asked, a bit more serious now.

Good. Now I can have a decent conversation with him.

” It’s a long story,” I said with an exasperated sigh.

” Shoot,” he said, picking up his glass of alcohol.

I took my time to explain everything to him, and was glad he didn’t go about laughing like he did a while back

” Oh, my! This is insane” he cussed.

” You can say that again, but not to worry, I already have the perfect plan mapped out” I said with a happy look on my face.

” Really? What is it?” he asked with eager eyes.

I simply smiled and started drinking again.

It’s not something I plan on getting out.

We had fun in the bar because it had been a while, and after that, it was time to go home.

Rex was so wasted and I had to take him home, before heading back home myself.

I got home, parked my car and went straight to my room.

I got to the sitting room first and was surprised to find no one in it.

It wasn’t that late yet. Can’t believe they have all gone to bed.

I took the stairs and was halfway in it when the lights came on.

” We need to talk” that was Dad’s voice.

What was I thinking? How could he possibly be asleep by this time?.

****

Ruby’s Pov;

” I’ll be your maid of honor,” Diane said happily.

I think she enjoys torturing me, because I don’t see why she can’t seem to understand me.. Why can’t she see that I am in a very bad mood?.

I mean, is this really funny to her? Is she stupid or is she acting oblivious? I don’t know which it is, but I was so pissed.

” Do you know you’re acting so inconsiderate and unbelievable right now?” I let out, unable to hold my anger any longer.

” Chill babygirl. You have to calm down. It’s not as hard as you think. What’s even there to be sad about? It’s Nathan we are talking about here. I’m pretty sure other girls won’t even mind being his hundredth wife?”.

” Really?” I said in disbelief.

” Yes really.. Get a hold of yourself and stop acting like a baby. You think I am being unfair by not sympathizing with you, but really girl, what’s there to sympathise for? It’s not even like you can do anything about it?”.

” From all you told me earlier, it’s been decided that you’ll get married in two weeks time, so what’s your deal?. There’s nothing you can do at this point and I’m sure you know it. You just have to put on a broad, bold smile and go along with it and that’s exactly what I am trying to help you with, well, unless you don’t want to help your Dad” she let out and as crazy as it sounds, I know she was telling the truth.

There’s nothing I can do anyway. I just have to make use of the time I have left as a spinster and have fun for the very last time.

” When are you coming back?” I asked her suddenly.

” Saturday. Why?” she asked.

” Get ready, we’re going out” I told her and ended the call.

I got up and walked to the bedroom.

I can do this.
