A Disguised Angel
A Disguised Angel
Ruby’s Pov;
I wriggled Ella’s hold away from my arm and turned to glare at her in anger.
We both turned to face Chelsea who stood at the door, with both arms above her chest.
” What’s going on here?” she asked us again, walking closer this time.
I scoffed and went back to the bed to sit, while Ella angrily storm out.
Why are they in my room? I don’t get it.
” You look angry. Don’t be. Ella has always been a spoilt brat” she said with a chuckle.
” I’m more than ready to break her wings. She better no try any rubbish with me” I said sternly.
She smiled and came to squat in front of me.
” I’m glad you’re saying this, because you’re getting married to her brother. It would do you alot of good if you will be able to handle her, but as you would already know, she’s not an easy person and it’s not gonna be easy” she explained.
I heaved, understanding what she meant.
At least, she is alot nicer and better than the so called Ella. I only wished she was his sister instead of Ella.
” You must be so excited, huh?” she broke the silence that was supposed to take over.
” What do you mean?”
” Nathan. He’s every girl dream guy” she said with a broad smile on her face
I rolled my eyes.
” Well, not mine”
” You sure about that?. Did your heart not skip a bit when you saw him?” she asked but I kept quiet, because I knew she was right, but I couldn’t bring myself to admit it.
” I know right” she took my silence to mean yes and I didn’t have the strength to argue over what was right and what she already knows the answer to.
” Yeah, I know that feeling and I know this may sound crazy, but if Nathan weren’t my brother, I would have killed to get with him” she revealed with a smile on her face, and I only turned to look at her with widened eyes
Maybe she’s crazy.
” Yeah, I know it sounds insane, but it’s truth. I don’t care about his personality and I don’t care what people say about him, all I know is that I love him… so much, but there’s nothing I can do because we are related. I often curse myself for being born in the same family as him, it’s just so heartbreaking, so you see, you should be thankful. You’re truly lucky”.
” Many girls would do absolutely anything to be in the position you are in right this minute. I know a lot would kill to have him just look at them” she went on and on and I understood nothing she was saying
I huffed.
” How exactly are you all expecting me to be happy getting married to someone I know absolutely nothing about?” I grumbled with frustration.
Is this fun to them? This is my life. I know am still very young and I might not have any experience about marriage, but I know I certainly want to get married to someone I love and who loves me too. Someone I understand and know, not all this.
It wasn’t fun to me and I don’t care how popular, rich or handsome he is. I know too well that I am never gonna be happy in this marriage and that’s why I’m not gonna expect anything from it.
I’m just gonna see it as a contract marriage because honestly speaking, that’s what all this is. I don’t want anyone talking me into anything.
” Is it that easy?” I asked again.
” Well, if you want to know about him, that wouldn’t be a problem. I can help you with that” she said.
” How?” I asked, looking confused.
” No one knows him like I do, trust me” she stated and an ‘oh’ expression escaped from my lips.
I kept quiet and waited for her to go on.
” Well, how do I put it?. Nathan is an easy going person if you really get to understand him. A lot of people think he’s hard, rude, difficult and mean, but he’s far from it. If you get to understand him, you’ll see that he’s very simple. He’s just a principled man that loves to live by his rules and principles”.
” Uhm, he’s stubborn – no doubt about that; hard to please- this is the main problem everyone has with him. He’s ridiculously goodlooking – 100%;. He loves easily and when he does he doesn’t let go”.
” He gets jealous easily, so make sure never to get him jealous because he would never forgive you, because he hardly forgives – it’s almost impossible. Avoid getting him angry – he’s like a demon when he gets angry. He’s like a puppy when he falls in love and when he does, he does with all his heart and truly opens his heart – he becomes vulnerable, behaves childish and act cute, But remember, don’t ever make him jealous and angry, just think of it as a danger zone ” she concluded, leaving me with a huge smile on my face.
The tips would be really helpful and I was so glad she had explained everything to me.
Woah!! So he does fall in love. I was so curious to know who his first love is, but I couldn’t bring myself to ask her.
The girl must have been so lucky.
” Well, I guess I’ve said enough” she stood up and started walking to the bathroom..Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Huh, I thought she came because of Ella, seems she was really here to use the restroom unlike Ella.
I waited for her to come out and when she did, we left for the dinning together.
We got there to see they had all move to the sitting room.
Nathan was sitting at the far end of the sitting room, his head buried in his phone.
Chelsea walked ahead of me and went to meet Ella.
” You’re here” Dad beamed at me, and from what I saw, they have been waiting for me.
“Yes Dad” I replied and the rest of them turned to look at me also.
” Well dear, we have decided to give you both some time alone. At least, you both should get to know each other. We’ll excuse you now” Dad said and they all got up and started walking out one after the other.
It was not until they had all left that I realize what he had said. I became nervous all of a sudden, and my palms became sweaty too.
I carried my wobbling legs to a couch behind me and quietly sat on it.
The room became as quiet as a graveyard and only the sounds from the wall clock could be heard.
Goodness!! The tension was too much for me to handle and I wished they didn’t have to do this.
There’s nothing for us to talk about. I doubt if he will even talk to me.
I opened my mouth to try and say something but nothing came out. My tongue was glued to my mouth and I couldn’t utter a word.
Gosh!! Where did the bold Ruby suddenly run off to? This isn’t me.
The situation wasn’t looking good. I resorted to peeping at him, carefully so he wouldn’t see me.
His long eyelashes became even longer with the way his head was down. With the way he stared at the phone, I knew he wasn’t doing anything in it.
He was just staring at me and that gave me hope that maybe he was also finding it hard to start up a conversation.
I bit my lower lips and stared at the ceilings. What kind of predicament did I get myself into?.
My heart was beating so fast and I feared he would hear it from where he was sitting.
Just as I was about to turn and stare at his handsome face once more, he abruptly stood up.
” I guess we are done here, since you have nothing to say” his angelic voice came.
The old me was supposed to get angry and get mad at him and even cuss at him and challenge him, but I was too dumbstruck to even do anything.
I stood like someone that was being controlled like a remote and watched him walk out of the sitting room.
Goodness!! I released the breath I had been holding and fell back to the couch.
Who the hell raised that boy? His personality sucks so much.
Is this what am gonna be facing everyday? He didn’t even have the decency to say a proper goodbye.
Woah!! What a jerk! I can’t believe this.
I can’t deny the fact that he’s incredibly handsome and I couldn’t do anything about the situation.
Something like this has never happened to me before. I had never been smitten by a guy before. I had never lost control over a guy before.
All the feelings I was having were totally new and strange to me and there was nothing I could do about them.
