Mr CEO’s Little Bride

A surprise visit

Author’s Pov;

What Mr Martins had

told his son – Nathan that morning, kept bothering him.

They had quite a heart to heart talk and that’s one of the reasons he was still at the mansion.

” Do I really have to do that?” he asked his father.

” He’s my son too Nathan and your brother. You might not accept it now, but you’ll later come to”

” He can’t be away from the family forever. He’s a part of this family and has rights here too. It’s only sooner or later that he’ll come seeking for what is his” Mr Martins had explained, while Nathan looked on with a blank expression on his face.

That didn’t bother him.

A brother!. One he had never meant. He still wasn’t sure how that was going to play out for him, but he hoped not to be swayed.

He’s ready to move out at any time.. He’s ready to leave the company at any time.

The least thing he wanted in his life right now was to fight over inheritance, he’d better just leave it for whomever, not that he wasn’t already successful.

” Oh, my!! That looks delicious!” Ruby’s thin voice snapped him back to reality.

He turned to the direction she was staring at to see some highschoolers holding cones of ice cream and she salivated as she saw them.

Her expression was bright and cheerful and it made him smile – inwardly.

He liked being with her. He doesn’t know why or how he got drawn but he does know he finds solace and comfort in her.

It can’t be different from the way he feels about Chelsea or Ella.

” Ahh!!” she gasped once more

” Do… do you want one?” he asked her grumpily.

” Uhm…. no, nevermind. I just thought it looks delicious, that’s all” she told him and took her head back into the car.

Nathan nodded and drove past there.

They soon came in front of the building of their marriage counseling class.

A gentle knock was heard on the door of Mr Martin’s study room.

The maid pushed it open and went in, her head to the ground as she did.

” Sir, a woman is downstairs waiting for you. She said she won’t leave until she sees you” the maid gave out the information, her gaze to the ground.

” I’ll be there shortly” Mr Martins responded, his gaze fixed on the newspaper in his hands.

He left his study some minutes after the maid left.

He walked with his now very frail and fragile body down the stairs, and came face to face with the least person he had wanted to see.

How long has it been? 20 years?

His eyes dilated in shock and his brain did a marathon race trying to install things that aren’t there.

His wife – Tracy was also out, taking in the details of the overly gorgeous woman in front of her.

She has never seen her before. She knows all her husband’s family members but this woman right here was strange to her.

Andorra stood there, her sunshades now in her left hands and leather purse on the right.

She was just as beautiful as anyone could imagine her to be.

” Andorra!” Mr Martins shrieked out in disbelief.

He can’t believe she finally decided to show up in front of him after all these years.

That sure took a while and it tore his heart into bits as he remembered that painful experience which he has been keeping bottled up inside him.

” What are you doing here?” he groaned, the hurt, guilt and regret in his eyes.

” Long time no see, Martins,” Andorra said cheerfully.

” And oh, you must be his new wife. Nice to meet you!” she said, stretching out her palm for a handshake, but Tracy just stared blankly at it.

Andorra gave out a cranky, nervous laughter and started pacing around the sitting room.

” What nice decor we’ve got here. You still got some expensive taste, huh?” she beguiled.

The radiant smile on her face was undaunted and not even the glares and mean stares from Mr Martins could sway her.

” Oh, my!! Look at you! Don’t tell me you missed me?” she said and laughed out hysterically.

” Honey!!” Mr Martins called Tracy.

” Can you give us a moment?” he asked her.

Tracy nodded, turned to look at Andorra and then left.

Andorra scoffed as she left, and then took her seat back on the couch.

” Seems you’ve got a lot to say. Shoot!!” she said, taking a sip of the glass of wine she was served earlier.

” What are you doing here, Andorra!” Mr Martins asked through gritted teeth.

” Won’t you like to take a seat first?”

” I’m not in the mood for your silly jokes right now. It’s either you say why you’re here or I called the security guards to throw you out?” he threatened, unleashing his terror on her.

He can’t believe she had the nerve to show up at his house after all she’s done to him?.

She’s got some guts! He had to admit.

” I can’t believe you’re asking me that question right now” she trailed back at him, getting up from the couch.

Her face had a serious look on it as she approached him.

” Have you forgotten we have a son together?” she asked raucously.

” I doubt that’s the reason you’re here,” Mr Martins said, taking his seat.

” Then why else would I be here?” she asked.

” I don’t know, you tell me, and don’t forget that I know you Andorra. I know you” he rasped.

Andorra rolled her eyes, taking her arms above her breasts.

” He’s back” she let out slowly and inaudibly.

” What??” Mr Martins asked, almost jumping out of his seat.

” Your son, our son… he’s back” she dropped the bombshell before going back to take her seat.

Mr Martin’s hands shook and it made his whole system vibrate.

He did expect this to happen. He had been patiently waiting for the day she would finally bring his son to him, and now that that day has finally come , he couldn’t just believe it.

” Yes. Okay” Nathan said and ended the call.

” Uhm… I’m sorry Ruby but I think I’ll have to drop you here. I’ll call your driver to come pick you up, so you don’t have to worry about how you are gonna get home” Nathan explained to her hurriedly.

” Hphm!!.. are you going somewhere?” she asked him, seeing his uneasiness.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

” Yeah.. I need to head back to the office right away. Something urgent came up”he told her.

” That’s fine. I can tag along. If you don’t mind, by the way” she rephrased lowering her gaze.

” Suit yourself” Nathan said, getting into the car hurriedly.

Ruby quickly went in also to avoid being left out.

He drove at a crazy speed and they were in the company in no time.

She was so happy and excited. She had always wanted to know what the De Martins company looked like and she couldn’t believe it was the exquisite building standing in front of her.

It was magnificent. So huge and so beautiful.

She ran after Nathan who was walking at a crazy speed.

Everyone bowed and greeted him as he walked in, while a lot of them gasped as they saw her.

Some frowned upon realizing who she is and others had this stunned look on their faces.

There were alot of them that started gossiping immediately and those that whispered to themselves and murmured.

She has no time to take note of everyone, because she had to quickly go after Nathan who seemed like he had forgotten someone was right behind him.

” Where do you think you’re going?” he turned back abruptly and snapped, making her almost pee her pants.

Why does he suddenly look so angry?. She asked herself.

” Uhm… uhm… I thought…”

” Don’t you know you’re supposed to wait in the reception. Are you following me to the meeting hall?” he raged, walking out on her as soon as he was done.

She stood there with an unexplainable disbelief look on her face.

He must have a personality disorder, that she was sure of.

If not, how does one explain his sudden change in behavior and attitudes?

No matter how she looks at it, she’s convinced her first opinion about him is the right one. He’s down right cold and rude… that’s it.

Having not much of a choice, she turned slowly and walked back to the reception in the hallway.

She was still glad she still got to spend time with him like this.

He hasn’t been cold or rude to her since and he had behaved well during the class also.

He wasn’t much of an asshole that day, and she wished he would just be like that everyday.

” Ahhh… I’m so thirsty!” Ruby yawned and decided to go get herself something to drink from the store outside.

She stood up and was walking out when she saw someone that looked familiar.

” Isnt… isn’t that Louis?” she asked herself and decided to call out his name.

He turned and they stood staring at each other.

What is he doing there??.
