Mr CEO’s Little Bride

Chapter 18

THROW A FIST

Ruby’s Pov;

My eyes dilated in shock and my jaw dropped in astonishment.

What was before me left me utterly speechless, clueless and confused.

I sprang up to my feet immediately, putting the paper to his face.

” Sign it” he commanded, taking out a pen from his pocket.

He really came prepared for this.

“And why should I? What’s this by the way?” I asked angrily, my heart thumping hard against my chest.

” I thought you’re still in school. Can’t you read or what?” he growled.

” I…”

” I’ll go straight to the point” he cut me off, snapping the paper out of my palm.

” I know we both don’t want this marriage – we were just forced into it, so I see no reason why we should suffer ourselves over it” he said, already seated.

I was still standing and all I could do was stare at him.

I dare not glare, I know better than that. The mere sight of this man scared me so much. I don’t have an older brother, so I don’t know how I was feeling.

Was it fear or respect, or anger? I didn’t know.

” And if I refuse?” I asked solemnly.

” Have you even gone through it?” he asked.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

” You’re not even in a position to reject it, because it would do you a lot more good than harm, and also, it’s for your own benefits. You’ll benefit more from it than me” he said raucously.

” I’m not telling you to decide if you want to or not… I’m not giving you a choice, I’m just telling you to sign it” he said with a tone of finality, and the next thing I saw , he was on his feet.

I traced him with my eyes and saw him walk out the door.

I released the scoff I have been holding, placed my left palm on my forehead.

He’s such a piece of work!. Gosh!!.

But wait! What do I do now? Should I really sign it?.

I scanned through the terms in the paper again and scoffed.

They were likeable and tempting, but didn’t appeal to me.

Is he trying to work his own contract on me? Why are they all tossing me around? Trying to make me bend to their will?.

That had never happen to me before. Never.

With the paper still with me, I stormed out of the room and went to meet him. I saw him, seated at the wine bar, sipping wine from a glass.

He didn’t seem to notice my presence so I made it known to him.

” I have a question, actually, questions, to ask” I stated.

He only glanced at me and continued what he was doing.

It was then I noticed the paperworks occupying the little space on the bar.

I gulped down and contemplated whether or not to go ahead.

“What if I refuse?” I asked through gritted teeth.

He turned to look at me, and this time, he didn’t remove his gaze. His blue eyes stayed fixated on mine.

“Have you gone through it?” he asked in a calm tone, which was very unlike him.

I nodded.

He didn’t see me but he went ahead.

” If you’re going to act foolish, then do it later, as you can see, I’ve got lots of work waiting for me” he stated.

My throat turned dry immediately.

“No, I need to talk to you” I said boldly.

He stared again and only nodded.

I breathed in and out, before proceeding.

” Do I really have to sign this and what happens if I don’t?” I asked.

” You’re to sign it and not ask me questions” he barked, making me almost jump out in fright.

What the..? Is he always like this?.

” I… I.. I just wanted to know, or dont I gave the right to know?” I asked, almost crying.

I’ve never been in such a situation before and didn’t know how to handle it.

He was acting so cold towards me like it’s all my fault and it hurts so much… so fucking much.

I fought hard for the tears not to come rolling down.

Gosh!! I don’t want to cry over a guy. That’s one of the things I detest so much.

” I need to go to school tomorrow” I mumbled frivolously.

He nodded again and that pissed the hell out of me.

” Is that a you can do? Can’t you at least say something?” I asked, I wanted to yell at him, but it wasn’t coming out the way I wanted it to.

” The driver will take you to the airport tomorrow morning. Is that what you wanna hear?” he asked

Nathan’s Pov;

I asked her and she didn’t say anything for a while.

She looked back at the paper and signed it, then angrily place it onto eh table and stormed out

I know she has alot more to say but was just withholding herself.

As long as she sticks to the contract she just signed, then we wont behaving any issues.

Its our own personal contract and secret and should stay between us.

I picked it up to see her signature on it then, tossed it under the other papers

I’m very glad she has insisted on going to school instead of staying here.

It would help me get rid of this madness called honeymoon.

For goodness sake, I have alot of work to do back at the office.

I only came here because I had a impending job to do. I saw it as an opportunity to not do the honeymoon and use work as an excuse, but good thing, I can finally go back home now in peace.

*********

Ella’s Pov;

” I’m telling you mom, that’s the girl” I said with anger consuming the whole of me.

” What girl?” she asked with a puzzled look on her face and I had to take my time to take her back to the day I had cut off my outing with the girls because someone has ruined my mood.

” Remember I told you it was a certain girl?” I asked her and eh nodded.

” That’s the girl” I said.

She was still looking confused.

I sighed, not knowing how to explain it to her again and just when I wanted to add more details to she can remember quickly, she got it and her eyes litted up.

“What? You mean the girl that made you to mad?” she asked with mixed reactions.

” Yes mom, that’s her. I can’t believe this. I can’t believe she got married to my brother and is now a member of this family. I can’t believe she’s now my sister in law. It’s all so unbelievable and there’s no way I’m gonna accept this… there’s no way I’m going to accept her” I rasped in anger, fumbling and fuming.

Mom sighed. She was acting so calm and quiet which is very unlike her.

Mom doesn’t joke with anything that concerns me. I was expecting her to be raging mad with anger and siding with me in ranting and venting out my anger, but she’s doing the exact opposite, putting me in a tight corner and what she said next shocked me to my bones.

” My dear” she adjusted, now facing me, and she held my hand.

” I would like you to forget about all that happened that day” she said calmly.

” What do you mean Mom? What are you talking about? I just told you about the girl that ruined your daughter’s day and this is all you can say? D you have any idea how much I’ve been longing to meet her again… to set my eyes on her again after what transpired that day? Do you even know how much I was humiliated?”

” I know dear, believe me I do” Mom said.

” No, you don’t. I don’t think you do, because if you do, you won’t be asking me to calm down or stay calm. I can’t even believe you’re saying this to me right now. I cant even believe this is happening. Gosh!!” I said and ran off.

“Ella!!” Mom called after me but I never replied.

I can’t believe her. Is she serious? Is she for real?.

Goodness!!.

I ran to my room, and shut the door hard behind me, then started pacing.

My phone started ringing and I was glad it did.

That would distract me at least and take my mind away from this anger.

I was relieved to see who was calling.

It was Clara – one of my friends.

” Hey girl!!” she shouted happily into the phone.

” Hey” I said calmly.

” What’s wrong?” she asked sensing I wasn’t alright.

” Dunno.. I’m fine” u replied.

I know she didn’t buy it.

” Uhm… can we come over?” she asked suddenly.

I wasn’t expecting her to ask that because I thought she had something to say when she called.

I wanted to ask her about it but didn’t.

” Yeah, sure. You can come” I said.

” Alright. See ya later” she said and disconnected.

Phew!!.
