Chapter 42WeekendRuby's Pov;We ate silently, with only the sound from our cutleries being heard.I was surprised when Nathan came back from work on time.It got me thinking if he was purposely coming late all those times we were at the mansion.I was glad when I got back to school and when to the kitchen to find it as I had left it.It seems Stacy got the message. She didn't touch anything. The food I prepared was still there when I got back and hers was there also." Get ready. We are going to the Mansion for the weekend" Nathan said amidst mouthfuls.I have never seen this side of him. He looked so carefree, normal and easygoing.Someone might mistake us for the perfect couple.I simply nodded, not wanting to ask the reason for it.Maybe he's decided to go back.EARLIER IN THE DAYAuthor's Pov;Mr Martins walked into his son's office and started staring round." Can you please cut to the chase. Stop staring at my office like this is the first time you've been in it" Nathan snappe

Chapter 44A surprise visitAuthor'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 succe

Chapter 46Total 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 besid

Chapter 48Way more than thatRuby's Pov;" Louis" I called calmly, my heart pounding hard against my chest.I took a few steps backwards, but he held me by the wrist and pulled me back to him.I gasped and watched as he smirked." What...what are you doing?" I asked in astonishment.Is he trying to kid me right now? What the hell is happening?." Will you get off of me? What the fuck do you think you're trying to do right now?" I yelled to his face, summoning up enough strength and courage to pull away from him, but his hold on me was way too strong." Get the fuck away from me!!" I yelled to his face but he was unyielding." A minute...just a minute. Let's stay like this for a minute" he cooed, touching my face.I felt disgusted by it and slapped his hands off." Get away from me!!" I yelled and finally got out of his hold, after much wrestling.I was breathing heavily." What was that? Are you insane?" I rasped in anger and disbelief.I can't believe this!!." I'm sorry Ruby..I did

Chapter 50Author's Pov;" Take me to Ruby's School" Nathan told his driver who nodded and reversed immediately.He was just coming back from the airport and wanted to surprise her in school.It's bene two freaking weeks and he has missed her.He wasn't sure he would, but he did.**Ruby's face had panic and fear in them as they car overtook and showed up in front of them, blocking their path.Her heart beat accelerated as she shook in fear.She started praying fervently in her heart, but it was all just in vain.Within a twinkle of an eye, she was dragged away from her car to the other car by hefty men.She could neither scream nor struggled.
