Cindy
Cindy!!
Ruby’s Pov;
I heard a loud bang in my head.
Whaaat?!!.
I didn’t say anything and I said nothing. I knew I couldn’t say anything.
I just sat there as I allowed the words to resonate in my head.
They are so shameless. I had to admit.
” You must be sick!!” Chelsea lashed out at her.
Christy eyed her and turned to Nathan and Camilla.
Camilla got up immediately and started walking to where Nathan was seated.
” Come on!” she said seductively at him.
” You better get your slutty self out of my sight!” Nathan warned in anger.
Camilla flinched and stopped right on her track.
” You better stop this Nathan. This isn’t the first time you’re breaking the rules of our game. You always refuse to do things” Christy said in anger.
Chelsea scoffed.
” I can’t believe what’s going on here. Are you guys being serious right now?” she said in anger.
” You stay out of this. A game is a game” Camilla enthused.
Nathan smirked.
” And what makes you think I’ll kiss those lips you take in sperm with?” Nathan rasped, putting a smile on my face.
I heard the loud ‘Oops’ from the others.
They silently laughed, although they tried not to make it obvious, it still was.
Camilla, not being able to handle the shame stormed out angrily, with Christy and Sasha running after her.
” Good riddance” Chelsea said excitedly after them.
I looked at Nathan, a big smile on my face.
Shella glared at Chelsea and she reciprocated.
She later stood up and walked away, going to God knows where.
” I like that cous” Chelsea said, giving him a thumbs up.
She turned to me also and smiled.
” Uhm… excuse me guys, I would like to use the restroom” I told them and walked away.
I walked into the crowd and then into the house, searching for the restroom.
I came across the hallway of the house and walked in, only to meet several doors which got me confused.
I stood there looking lost, not knowing where to turn to when I sighted someone coming from the opposite direction.
” Uhmm… excuse me. Please, can you show me to the restroom?” I asked the pretty blonde girl who was holding a glass of wine with her.
She was sweating so much, which made me wonder what she had been up to.
” Down the hall to your right?” she gave her swift reply and walked away almost immediately.
I turned to look at her once more before she left, and then I was on my way.
I took the directions she told me and finally saw the restroom.
Not only that, I saw a lot of people there… close to it, doing all sorts of immoral things.
I guess it’s really a party after all
As I walked into the toilet, I could hear moans, I had to quickly do my thing and leave right away.
What kinda hell hole is this?. How come Nathan comes to things like this? I thought he didn’t want to ever get married.
I was walking back to go meet the others when I came across a room, the door was slightly opened and I could hear voices.
I would have walked away, but halted when I heard my name.
” Ruby or whatever her name is, I know I’ve only met her tonight, but I hate her so much,” I heard the person say.
I would have still been on my way, because I obviously can’t be the only Ruby in a party filled with lots of people, but the voice seemed familiar and hence, I decided to take a peep into the room.
I did and was stunned to see Camilla and the other girls that had angrily walked out of our midst.
I placed my ear on the door, and started listening in on their conversation.
What I heard shocked me to my bone marrow.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
” I can’t believe he brought her here. I’m still in shocked” I heard another voice and I could tell it was Sasha.
Her voice was filled with pain and anger.
” Did you see the way he threw your hands off of him, like they were dirt or something* Camilla said.
” Well, that’s not a new thing. We all know how Nathan can get sometimes. He can be really nasty and annoying, and this isn’t the first time he’s doing something like this” Christy tried to reason with them.
” You think we don’t know that. Ahh!! I seriously wish that girl can just disappear from his sight. I was so happy when he was refusing to get married. Why did he have to get married now?. I thought he was gonna stay single forever, was seriously waiting for that to happen” Christy said painfully, pacing to and fro.
” And from the look of things, I think he likes her,” Sasha said, and this time, I placed my ear closer to the door.
I didn’t want to miss any part of what they were saying.
” Can’t you see. It’s very obvious.. Why else would he bring her here?” she asked them.
” She obviously wanted to accompany him as his wife and he couldn’t say no” Camilla answered.
” Oh, girl!! When has Nathan ever been so considerate, and okay, let’s say that’s the case, what do you say about the way he yelled when she spilled that wine on her dress? How do you explain how he’s behaving?” Christy asked with a rugged breath.
” I think you’ve got a point,” Camilla concurred.
” Yeah, and not only that…”
” What do you think you’re doing?” I heard a voice behind me which I turned to immediately.
I stood face to face with a very beautiful girl. It’s the first time as a girl that I was admiring the beauty of another girl.
She was so beautiful and I got mesmerized for a bit. Her gorgeousness and elegance were out of this world.
” What are you doing there?” she rephrased.
” Hi!!” I said nervously, chuckling in between.
Her cold gaze and curious eyes never left my side.
She stared at me all over like I was a thief or something.
I got uncomfortable with the way she was staring and suddenly wished she would say something.
” Where are you going this way?” I asked, trying to bring something up.
It was getting awkward already.
” You haven’t answered my question,” she said blearily.
Goodness!! What kind of a girl is this?.
I know she was way older than me, so I didn’t want to disrespect her in any way.
” Uhm… some of my friends are in there” I stuttered a bit, the word friend coming out like a sour pill.
I hated the way it sounded and felt in my mouth.
” Really? Camilla and Sasha are your friends?” she asked, making my jaws drop in shocked.
Ooopsss!! I guess I shouldn’t have said that.
” Uhm… yeah… yeah… Actually, they are my husband’s friend” I told her.
She ceased her brows, staring at me with utmost confusion.
” Husband??. You’re so young, how come you’re already married. I can tell you’re still a teenager, so what in God’s name…” she suddenly stopped and gasped like she remembered something.
“Nathan!!… Nathan!…. You’re Nathan’s wife. Goodness!! I can’t believe this.. You’ve got to be kidding me” she said, fanning herself with her fingers, not able to contain her shock.
I smiled at the way she was reacting. It was so amusing.
” Yeah, yeah, I am” I replied, taking my gaze to the floor shyly.
I suddenly felt proud to be his wife.
Gosh!! How I used to hate being called that.. I used to hate it so much.
I used to even hate thinking about it, but now, I don’t anymore… It’s now the other way around.
While I was still lost in my thoughts, the next thing I saw was her engulfing me in a warm embrace.
I hadn’t seen that coming, hence, it was hard for me to react.
She pulled away before I could reciprocate.
” Goodness!! This is so unbelievable!! I can’t believe I finally got to see Nathan’s wife, and in such a way. OMG!!” she chanted, acting like a drama queen.
” Nice to meet you!”I said excitedly.
” It’s way more nice to finally meet you,” she said.
” I’m Cindy” she said, stretching her hand out for a handshake, after tucking in her hair to the back of her ear.
I gladly took it.
” Ruby”.
” Woah!! Such a fine name. You’re so beautiful. I can only imagine” she complimented.
” I can say the same for you. You look gorgeous” I said honestly, finally getting the chance to tell her about it.
She went on and on about how she had been longing to see Nathan’s wife after she heard he was married.
I got to know she was friendly and she also knew Camilla, Sasha, Shella and the rest.
They all work for the same company and are acquainted, but according to her, she doesn’t roll with them that much, because of how they are.
” So… how do you know Nathan?” I asked her, as we slowly walked back to the table I was.
We were taking forever as a result of our conversation on the way.
” Well.. I first got to meet him at one of our numerous business dinner parties, and after that, we attended several meetings together and sealed lots of contracts together too. So, you can say we used to be business associates” she explained, taking a sip from her glass.
” And now?” I asked.
” Uhmm.. well, my sister graduated and I decided it was time for me to chase my dreams and leave the company in her care, and it’s a good thing he’s more than capable of running it, if not, it would have been such a hassle for me” she said and sighed.
” What about the others?”.
” You can just call us friends in the business world. We know how the business world works and roll with it together. We all grew up together in this part of the world and have been through alot also” she said.
I love her vibes and I didn’t want the conversation to end anytime soon.
I don’t even relate with Diane this much. She’s such an interesting person… and easygoing also
” I was so hurt when no one of us was invited to his wedding. I mean, I wondered why it was an enclosed wedding, but now I know better” she said, leaving me to wonder what her last statement meant.
” So you don’t know him personally?” I asked.
” We all don’t. The most we know is how far we have related to him and how much he has shown us. I don’t personally know him, like a friend or anything of that sort, but we were kinda close because mehn!! We did a lot of business together back in the day. Gosh!! I miss those days” she recalled.
” You know you can always go back right?” I said.
” I do, but now, I’m more focused on building my modelling career”
” Oh!! You’re a model?”
” Yeah, and I’ve been out of the country for a while now.. I recently just got back because of this party” she said and I could finally tell why she has a strange accent.
” It must be very important and compulsory?”
” You can say that,” she bemoaned.
She waved at some guys at a table and I realised we were already close to mine.
” So… hope I will be seeing you again?” she asked.
” Of course, but I thought you were gonna say hi?” I asked, looking at her intensely.
” Nah, maybe some other time” she said and my face dropped.
” Don’t think about it so much. We can always see each other anytime, so it’s not a big deal. The business world isn’t that big as you see it, especially for us the owners” she said and chuckled.
” Alright, run along now” she said, waving gently at me.
I smiled at her and left, going back to the table.
I got there to meet Nathan’s murderous glares.
” I didn’t know peeing could last for more than a decade?!” he grunted in anger, and stood up immediately, walking out.
I stared at the others and the looks on their faces told me there was fire on the mountain.
I waved at them and quickly ran after Nathan.
Oh, my!! I’m so dead!!.
