Entangled With Adonis Klaus Fifty Eight
RubyI quickly rushed to the door before something disastrous could happen but my mother's footsteps happened to be faster.Or… my brother's footsteps?My head tilted to the side, I wore a small frown as Zion casually walked into the room. Zion didn’t appear to notice the presence of the other person because he went straight to dumping the information he came to tell me.“Ruby, Mom is calling you. She wants to ask you why the door was not locked and why-”As he paused his words, my eyes dramatically followed his line of sight and when it fell on Adonis who was standing as still as a tomb, I closed my eyes for a second, my mind uttering a prayer that things wouldn’t go wrong from there.“Anyway…” Zion surprised me by saying nothing. He kept talking as if he didn’t see anything. “We met the front door open and Mom thinks you are growing so old that you forget things easily now.”As I cleared my throat, my hands reached for the scarf around my neck and with the intention of not ruining

AdonisThe fact that I was frequenting the gang’s hideout a bit too much was starting to annoy me. Grunting as I jumped off the last step of the ladder, I recalled how I decided to leave the Xylem gang. I made sure to drill it into my head that I wasn’t going to step foot on their cursed grounds anymore but it seemed the future had other plans. The future mocked my then-present.But it is fine.Because I am not doing it because I want to take revenge or because I am helping Maximus and his boys force people to cough out gold. No, I am doing it because someone dear to me can get hurt. It is a new thing for me, though... protecting someone with all my might.All my life, I have never gotten protection, not even from my parents.Ever since my father sold me to the Xylem gang, I learnt to safeguard my life by myself. I used crude methods to secure my safety. I made sure I was feared no matter what. I did anything to make sure I wasn’t walked over by people.So, it is strange that I am

RubyMy eyes scanned the corridors and I wished for a glimpse of Adonis as I made my way to my next class.When I woke up that morning, Adonis was nowhere to be seen and it made me wonder how he got out without my early bird of a mom seeing him.And I wanted to thank him again.Thanks to his firm hold and assuring words, I feel much better about the way things played out the previous night.While I prepared for school this morning, my head continuously played scenarios where Adonis failed to enter the room at that exact moment. If he had not intervened, things would have happened. Because, with the way his hands held me, I could tell that Bryan meant to harm me.Anyway, I am just glad nothing happened.I gave my head a small shake to get rid of the frown on my face. It was then I noticed that I had unknowingly stopped walking. A glimpse at my feet made me briefly wonder if I will be fine as time goes on. But I soon assured myself and lifted my eyes to the view ahead of me. And... Th

Ruby "So..." With his eyes squinted with seriousness, my father got rid of his black suit, loosened the tie around the neck of his sky-blue shirt and traced the mark on my neck after. "This Bryan guy came into our house last night?" I nodded, my mind wondering what will happen now that I have told him all about Bryan. How he murdered Maddison and about his weird psycho attitude around me. I didn't fail to mention Bryan's threats and how serious they were every time he made them. But there was one thing I left out. The fact that Bryan hated seeing me and Adonis together. I felt strongly that that would give my Dad a chance to further disapprove of Adonis. "I have so many questions," his thick voice whispered, his head ducking slightly as more lines of worry appeared on his face. "But how could I have not noticed that something was wrong? The camera in your room has been working fine and-" "Say what now?" My eyes bulged slightly, I locked eyes with my Dad as the thought that h

RubyDue to the rush in getting Abby into a somewhat comfortable position, I was unable to take proper note of Adonis’s place. Contrary to the mansion he took me to, the apartment we were presently in was on the simpler side.It looked like a proper bachelor pad with the modest use of colours that made the rooms look slightly dull yet not bad to look at. As I closed the door to his room where Abby was staying in, I took a turn and entered the kitchen where Adonis was making tea.From the wide entrance, I watched his broad back flex easily while he washed a cup or two. I wanted to walk in slowly and hug him from behind. Of course, that would be nice.But my outburst from earlier was stopping me, so I watched him from that distance as if he was my favourite TV show.“Do you think it is Bryan? Do you think he did that to Abby?” The mouth of the cup in his hand hit the surface of the tray beside him after his sudden question raided the silence. No words escaped me.My eyes twitched as I

RubyAbby’s cry pierced my ears while I glared down at the man who seemed familiar. Her tears made me turn to her instantly, and after adjusting her dishevelled clothes and covering up her nakedness, I helped her to her feet.She was weak, I could tell by the way her hands shook like a leaf following a dangerous wind. So, I slowly helped her onto a nearby chair and took out my phone to dial the emergency line.A strong grip held my hand. Confused, I looked down at Abby whose eyes were still heavy with tears.“What is wrong, Abby?”“Don’t.” She shook her head, confusing me the more.“I shouldn’t call an ambulance?” Her head danced from left to right and I instantly changed my position. Squatting beside her, my hand holding hers dearly, I looked into her eyes with so many questions in mine and asked, “Why?”I watched as she swallowed hard. Abby’s head ducked, and she said in a low voice, “Just don’t.”“Abby, we need to get you to the hospital,” I firmly said, my insides already in chaos

RubyAbby and I spent the entire night watching movies but it was evident that our minds were elsewhere. While I wasn't aware of what was on Abby's mind that made her wear a sad face at intervals, I spent most of the night thinking of what to do to help her without hurting her.I almost went to my Mom to seek her advice but I saw how desperate Abby was to keep the issue a secret.It bothered me greatly that she wanted things to be that way, but I had to respect her choices regardless.I sighed deeply as I opened my eyes to the early afternoon light that had befallen my room. While I murmured words I didn't understand, I turned to face the other side but my satisfying stretching was cut short once I noticed that Abby was no longer beside me.Immediately, I jumped up, my mind already in jeopardy. I had a feeling that she had left and considering the fact that Mr. Grassi was still walking about like an innocent man, anything could still happen to her.Just as my feet came in contact wit

RubySince I had no idea how to react to the man's introduction, I found myself inserting random and sarcastic chuckles in between the silence that surrounded us.A look at Abby who was as confused as I was, led to a glance at the man who called himself Mark Lumber. I could barely form replies to counter his ridiculous claims."I know you are doubting me. But," he reached for something inside his suit, "this is a DNA test conducted about thirteen years ago. It shows that I am your father."My lungs released a shaky breath as my eyes trained on the folded piece of paper."How..." A thick swallow of the lubricant in my mouth was needed because my ability to speak became really hard for a second. Then, I closed my eyes, folded my arms, took a deep sigh sighed and opened my eyes. "How on earth do you expect me to believe you?""I know you won't. You have known Dominic to be your father all these years and-""If you are my real father," my breath seemed to be raging at that point, "why ar

AdonisI resisted the urge to smile as I studied her face the moment she closed her eyes. My arms crossed and I let out a shuddering breath. I was slowly being pulled into some kind of trance, I needed to remind myself that I was not dreaming.I needed to remind myself that I should be alert, and waiting to hear her response, but I couldn’t help myself.Apart from a few times when I managed to send one of the men to check up on her, I had no particular idea of what she looked like in person. Definitely, the pictures sent did no justice to how beautifully grown she was.My head tilted as I observed her entire face. Her lips kept twitching as she delved into her thoughts. Her forehead wore some kind of frown and I realized once again how selfish it was of me to suddenly show up and ask her to choose from painful options. Options that make my heart ache as well.But I have no choice. I had to do it that way. Hopefully, she chooses to…“I have an answer,” I heard her blurt out, her soft v

RubyStepping out of the airport, my bag rolling with me as I walked towards the taxi I had flagged down, it hit me more that I was back in Manhattan on my way to see my parents and… him. And my mind became more confused.Thankfully, it was the mid-semester period and we have a one-week break which I will extend to a three-week holiday because I seriously need the break.Soon, the taxi moved and began the long journey that would lead me home.And towards Adonis Klaus.Two weeks after our unexpected reunion, I finally contacted Adonis, telling him I had an answer for him.I sounded so determined that I already had an answer but as the moving car sped and allowed some cool breeze to come my way, as I rested in the seat some more, I realised that my heart was still confused.Of course, I want to be with Adonis, I wish for nothing more. But thinking about the present only is such a short-sighted and risky thing. There is a strong need to think about how any decision I take would affect m

RubyThree years.I have been waiting for three years.Time flew past so fast while I was waiting for Adonis to show up in front of me again. While I managed to go on with my life, I always paused for some seconds to see if he was anywhere around me.He never was neither were there traces of him in his two homes.I graduated high school, took a year break before heading to the university to find out what appeals to me the most in life and now, that I am finally in the university, I am still waiting for him.At first, all I wanted was just to see if he was alive. I placed my hopes on the numerous searches embarked on by the police but, after a while, everything was futile. I watched the cops pack their bags and give up on searching for the man whose existence had become a mystery. Occasionally, I felt anger towards Adonis Klaus, but I always managed to cloud that anger with my need to see him alive.But, as three years passed, I felt anger and many more emotions. Some days I hate him,

Ruby“Did you hear that Bryan was arrested? Even Mr. Grassi! I wonder what the deal is with this school.” My ears caught the loud whispering from one of the girls who were in front of me as I dragged my feet sadly out of the last class for the day.Well, it wasn’t exactly the last period in school, but for me, who was already tired of the talks about Mr. Klaus resigning and how they miss him, I was already done with school for the day, I just wanted to go stay in a lonely place.All I want to do now is stare into the air and pray fervently for Adonis’s return.I might seem hopeless for banking on the idea that Adonis is still alive. Given the fact that it has been almost two weeks since the incident and no traces of him being has been found, my prayers seem useless.But, at the same time, traces of him being dead were yet to be found. Unlike others, evidence in form of pieces of burnt body parts belonging to Adonis has not been found.Yes, they are yet to fully get rid of the rubble,

Ruby This time, I slept for a longer period. I could tell that much as I grudgingly sat up. I was rubbing some sleep remnants off my eyes, when I felt a hand on my head, its fingers pushing back the strands of my hair in a very loving way. I know that touch! With happiness instantly overriding the sadness that had followed me into my long sleep, I fully opened my eyes and smiled widely at the man whose eyes watched me with affection. My throat felt heavy and tears threatened to come again. My eyes squinted and my forehead creased while I tried not to break into another bout of tears. But I was just so happy to see him. I was so glad that he came back to me. I was glad that my bad thoughts didn't come to pass after all. Filled with more and more emotions as seconds went by, I held onto his hand which sent soothing waves down my spine “Adonis…” I called him, my voice cracked as I couldn’t disguise the tears anymore. “Hey, Peanut.” His other hand leaned against my cheek and I rest

RubyWhile some men tended to Mark Lumber’s injury which didn’t have a good look, old man Matt circled the three hostages that were in the room. I was back on the chair, tied down as well. Adonis and Jake had been forced to kneel and some men were placed behind them. Those men watched the duo keenly as did their guns which were pointed at their heads.I sighed hard as my health situation got even worse. At intervals, my body shook, due to fear and the terrible state of my headache. At that point, my system had gotten used to the loud banging but that didn’t mean I wasn’t in pain.I was trying so hard to hide it but my entire body felt like it had been hit with a huge rock.“Where on earth are the fools that went to get the ropes?” Matt hollered as his annoying footsteps came to a halt and his eyes fell furiously on the entrance which was now destroyed thanks to the earlier exchange of bullets. “I need to make sure that these bastards don’t escape. Especially Adonis."”I’m sure they ar

Ruby I woke up from my long sleep and had a tight grip restricting my wrists and ankles. It was hard for me to move, my entire body felt like it had been pulled into sudden stillness.I finally opened my eyes which I closed to ignore the crazy headache I was still having. It had magnified its effect, and my head was practically about to burst at that point. My opened eyes made me fully aware of the dangerous situation I was in. While my nose tried to get rid of the yucky smell the strange building was oozing, I saw the number of men that were guarding the entrance that led to where I was. The strong, weapon-carrying men looked so unforgiving, it would be hard for any uninvited individual to make his way in or out peacefully.And… it would be harder for me to plot a possible escape.I sighed, my mouth feeling somewhat heavy as my entire soul felt like breaking down and crying.As I took another look around the tall building, the rusting machines surrounding me and especially at the u

AdonisIt was a Saturday evening.That meant it was a busy evening in the den. The wild party I walked into told me two things. One, a certain part of the gang wasn’t aware of the plan that involved taking Ruby. Two, the longer I stay in that environment, the more likely I was to attain an unforgivable height of anger- The kind of anger that could make one turn into a complete beast, with all sides of the face drawn into ugly wrinkles, with a voice coarser than sand, and with energy so negative, the world could turn to chaos.I don't want to be that angry. All I want to do is get the possible location of Mark Lumber or whoever the fuck kidnapped her. Then, I can spring into action.So, I hurried my steps towards the executive lounge of the hideout. As usual, the executive lounge was where the real party was always happening. There was hardly any noise but you can tell each person is having fun, one way or the other.As my eyes scanned the entire span of the room, I noticed Maximus

RubyIt happened too fast.One second, I was adjusting the towel covering my wet body while I stared at the food Adonis made for me. The next moment, glass shattered around me and these hefty men dragged me out of the apartment, ignoring my cries.It seemed like the building was empty as well. The people that heard my shouts were the security men who were mere souls in front of the tall, angry-looking men.Looking down at my chest as the jeep raced some more towards the highway, I let out a sigh. I then noticed that one of the men seated beside me had his eyes glued to my body."Listen," I started talking, my eyes furiously eyeing the pervert beside me, "I did as you said, I have not made noise since you guys kidnapped me.""We did not...""Get me some clothes before someone eye-rapes me." The tone of my voice was intentionally raised on the last statement, and my head tilted slightly towards the man on my right. The man seated beside the quiet driver let out a sigh. His hand rubbed
