Mr CEO’s Little Bride

Total disaster.

Author’s Pov;

Emotions brushed through the skins and graven silence perched on the walls of the dinning, engulfing the graceful and delightful dinner put in place.

Candle lights were the centre of attraction as they lighted and ignited a different aura and flame.

A poet wouldn’t describe this scene as just a dinner. A dinner with people harbouring various thoughts in mind…different questions.

At a time like this is when silence is most golden, but it just so happens that at a time like this is when words would be most appreciated.

Alot needed to be explained and alot needed to be sorted out also.

Ella could feel her anger increasing as the seconds went by. She felt like a laughingstock in a family she holds so dear and in high esteem.

She feared for her next outburst and did all she could to stay quiet.

Only the sound from their cutleries could be heard.

” What’s taking Nathan so long? Do you think he’s still at the office?” Tracy, who was sitting just beside her husband, whispered to him.

” I doubt he would want to disobey me,” Mr Martins said loud enough for everyone to hear.

” Or maybe he sees us as a joke. From all indications, he surely lacks respect and doesn’t have consideration for anyone” Andorra said.

” You have no right to speak that way about my brother” Ella lashed out at her, taking her by surprise.

” Ella!!!” Tracy yelled, sending warning glares her way, all to which Ella ignored.

Andorra scoffed.

” Woah!! I must say all the kids in this house aren’t properly brought up. They are all ill-mannered”

” Darling, do you think you can live here?” she turned to Louis and asked.

Louis rolled his eyes in wonder.

” Coming from someone who didn’t even raise her own child” Louis muttered under his breath in rage.

Andorra quickly covered it up with a cheap laugh.

” He jokes around alot” she laughed out more loudly.

Ella stared at her in disgust and just shook her head, while Ruby had been silent and just watching all that was going on.

” Really?” Louis attacked.

” You asked if I could stay here as if you weren’t the same person that wanted me here” he grunted, his eyes cold and mean.

It was the first time Ruby was seeing him like that. It was the first time she was seeing that look in his eyes and he looked so much like Nathan right then.

They sure are brothers.

” Oh, my!! When is that son of yours coming?” Andorra said, changing the topic.

She looked so pathetic and shameless, not even the thousands glares and snares from them could get to her.

” Why don’t you try calling him? Maybe something came up” Tracy told her husband again.

” You can if you’re so worried,” he told her bluntly.

” Can we please just eat in peace and get this over with?. As if bringing another person into this family and house is a thing to celebrate and make merry for” Ella bursted out angrily.

” You will watch your tongue right now, young…” the door swung open and Nathan would in majestically, his left hand in his trouser pockets.

He was casually dressed and had diamonds all over his neck and wrist.

He looked like the perfect billionaire prince.

Ella got up immediately and ran to him. She held him by the arm and started wiggling it.

” See brother, come see for yourself. I don’t understand what’s going on” she whined to him.

He stared at her blankly for a while, before carefully removing her hands from his.

He walked to the dinning and took his seat, and she – Ella, walked back with a disappointed look on her face.

She glared at Ruby before sitting down.

A maid stepped forward and dished out Nathan’s meal.

” Uhm… aren’t you gonna apologize or anything for coming late?” Andorra drew close to him and asked.

He ignored her and just started digging into his meal, while the rest of the family members shot her a glare.

She readjusted herself and mind her business.

The silence returned.

” Louis!!” Mr Martins suddenly called, taking not only Louis but everyone else by surprise.

” Yes sir” he answered.

” Would you like to start working in the company?” he dropped the bombshell which shook everyone by surprise, excluding his mom.

It seems it was part of the agreement she had with him. It was part of the things she had requested for in order for her to bring his son to him.

To her, Louis was her ticket to a luxurious and wealthy life. He’s the only way she can get access into the family, be a part of it and benefit from it and to be honest, she was playing her game so well.

Mr Martins seems to be abiding to every of her instructions and following her every whim and this didn’t sit well with the rest of them.

” Why don’t you ask him that in private?” Nathan cornered, his gaze not leaving his meal.

He seemed to have only picked the appetizer Ruby had made.

This made her wonder if he knew she was the one that made it and how he knew if he really does know?.

” I want to save myself the stress of announcing it again later on,” Mr Martins replied.

It somehow seems they were gonna get into a wordfight and the argument was gonna be heated.

” I’m not asking you this because you’re my father, but really, do you really have to do this?” Nathan finally looked up, and when he did, his eyes were bloodshot and cold.

The look in it could melt a person’s soul and unfreeze one also.

The emotions in them were unclear and unscathed.

” You know me son, I like to be clear on things”

” Are we done here?”

” You aren’t stepping a foot out of this table until everyone is done” Mr Martins roared really angry.

” Woah!!” Andorra exclaimed.

” I’m done here, Mom” Ella said and got up.

” What!! Ella!! Come back here. Where do you think you’re going?” Tracy yelled after her daughter who was already halfway in the stairs.

” Just let her be,” Mr Martins told her in a calm tone.

Almost immediately, Nathan stood up and also left, leaving his Dad unfazed.

He already knew how his son is, and knew he would still go against him.

He hated being controlled, but not as much as he hates being on that dining with them.

” I really don’t know what to say about everything that just…”

” Will you just shut up??” Tracy yelled to her face, leaving a shock expression there.

” What??!” she asked in amazement.

” You heard me right.. This dinning is a ruin because of you. Can’t you just let your son have this happy moment with his family before he finally settles down here” Tracy lashed out.

” And who says I don’t want that. If I don’t, would I be here?”

” You’re just so… ahh!!” she hooked on her words , realising Louis was still there.

Mr Martins picked up a napkin from the table and wiped his mouth with it, then stood up afterwards and left.

Louis left also, and it was just Ella with the two women who wouldn’t stop glaring at themselves.

” Here. Your room” a maid showed Louis to his room.

” Please call me if you need anything” she told him and left.

He nodded and went inside.

His mom had left with the promise that she would come visiting often, but he told her not to worry.

He’s better off without her, and he knows she would only cause trouble if she comes.

Not like she was actually coming to see him or because she cares and wanted to know how he’s doing, she’s only gonna use that as a way to start coming into the mansion as she pleases and that won’t be good, knowing the kind of person his Mom is.

He looked around his room which was big and magnificent just as it should be.

It was painted in gray and milk. The color would sound weird to anyone, but it looked so good in the room painting and everything.

He fell on the bed and exhilarated, hoping that would help get a few things off his chest.

It was a start of a new world and he hopes to make the best out of it.

Ella was still sulking in her room. She felt hurt and betrayed.

She at least expected her mother of all people to tell her about it, but no, she was too busy trying to impress the very same people that don’t give a damn about her.

She wonders why her Mom was so hell bent on making Nathan regard her as his mom. She has been on this for years and she still wouldn’t stop it.

She loves Nathan too and wouldn’t mind sharing her Mom with him, but it’s obvious he doesn’t want it and she doesn’t either, because she just doesn’t love him as a brother, but as.

The door to her room swung open, revealing her mom.

She quickly hid herself under the duvet, as a way of letting her mom know she was mad and didn’t want to talk to her.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

” Come on girl! You know you don’t have to be like this”

” I’m sorry, okay, it won’t…”

” Sorry to interrupt you ma’am, but Mr Martins asked you and your daughter to go downstairs right this minute” a maid suddenly appeared and informed.
