Days had rolled by quickly and he could feel the tension build up with each day that passed. Doris was nowhere to be found, her former house was scattered and searched thoroughly but there wasn’t a trace of her whereabouts and to make matters worse, she didn’t leave her files behind. “Where the hell is that sly woman?” Wyatt asked himself as he placed his hands on his hips in deep thoughts He had fired his former search party and hired another. This set looked more capable but had barely come up with anything. True to the reporter's promise, he had posted a couple of pictures of Wyatt and a small business owner. The reporter wasted no time to delve into his business and expose all that had transpired between Wyatt and the business owner. The man had come to Wyatt for a business collaboration. Typically Wyatt decided to prey on the man’s company and ended up extorting from him. Wyatt groaned, that had happened over ten years ago, he couldn’t believe someone would dig up su

Taylor paced in the room, hands on her hips. She thought of the millions of things she could do but couldn’t come up with one. “Who is Nate in love with?”” She asked herself for the umpteenth time She suspected Ruby but wasn’t sure about it. She was on set when she read that Ruby had won the contract for Nate. It all came as a shock that Ruby was now working for Nate. She clicked her teeth, even after these years, Ruby didn’t learn to stay away from her man. She was still adamant and she (Taylor) was ready to bully her all over again.Another thing that had made her feel insecure was that Ruby was the girl from years ago. She had gasped when she saw pictures of her, her once frizzy hair was now beautiful curls that cascaded down her waist. Her skin was so clear and beautiful.She still wore her eyeglasses but something about the way she wore it was so cute and classy. She sighed as she grabbed her phone and thought of what to do next. She was surrounded by over five w

“What exactly do you mean?” Cassie frowned Ruby frowned as the hot Oregon air hit her, she liked the weather humid because it made the pool warm enough for her to swim in. Now, it was too humid and made her shirt stick to her skin.They were in Cassie’s convertible and they had the sunroof open but that wasn’t enough for Ruby. “Why would Ethan do that?” Cassie was appalled by Ethan’s behavior and was even scared that he was a monster that she let into her life. Contrary to how he was behaving now, he used to be a really sweet guy and everyone loved to hang around with him. How he managed to keep up with the act for months was what she found interesting. “Ethan used her, he lied to her. Now, she’s pregnant with his child and he has abandoned her. How could I not see that this guy was this evil?” Ruby ranted It was even scarier because she had let him into her house and he always cooked for her and brought her flowers. What if he did all that to get into her space and

Nate had just gotten off the phone with his pilot. He asked that he get the private jet ready for use as his trip with Ruby was in a week.So far, he was pleased with everything. Joe’s pub was restored and now back in business, Jake was still healing and was discharged to go home. There was a lot, he was quite happy about so many things. He wasn’t bothered so much by the wedding as he was already transferring Jake’s children to another school so Wyatt couldn’t reach them no matter how much he tried. “Sir?” Maggie poked her head through the door “Come in” “The spot for Ethan is opened I asked that those interested in the job should come tomorrow for an interview” Nate nodded, it was fine by him. He was going to fire Ethan anyway, after his outburst the other day, he figured it was best to lay him off work. Nate returned to his work as he got busy on his laptop. He had received a call from Wyatt and decided to return the call.Grace was still very furious about the wedd

The flight to Florida was long and tiring. Nate and Ruby had spent the entire flight napping and eating. It was just two days in Florida but they knew it was going to be worth it.Ruby had been counting down the days to the trip excitedly. She had told Esme who was thrilled and was now at peace as she had her mother and siblings surround her. Maria had now moved to Grace’s house which meant she was safe. The man on the scooter was seen again although they were still cautious about it. Ruby hadn’t heard from Doris but was looking forward to the next publication by the reporter. She rested on Nate’s chest as the driver took them to the cabin Nate had booked for the weekend. She could feel the fireworks in her tummy as she finally lived her dream of going on a vacation with Nate.It was so exciting and refreshing. Nate pulled her close to him and placed a kiss on her forehead, he loved how they shared a comfortable silence. There wasn’t much to talk about and he wanted a littl

Nate held his breath as he watched her strut in her heels. She wore a simple black cocktail gown with a deep plunge at the back. He was taken away and lost for words as he could see the sale of her round butt. He groaned a little as he felt a sensation in his lower member. He wanted her body against his own immediately. She had her hair in a low bun, leaving tendrils to frame her heart shaped face. She wasn’t putting on her glasses and he had a proper view of how beautiful her eyes were. They matched the color of the ocean and had a shine to it. Ruby barely wore any makeup but he was still amazed at how stunning she looked. Most of the girls he had been with took pride in adorning their faces for hours but Ruby didn’t need any of that. She was simple and he found the simplicity insanely attractive and sexy. “I …. I” he was lost for words and tried to speakHe remembered how she had him tongue tied on their first date even though it hadn’t gone well. Everyone who knew Nate kne

Ruby was glad away from the cameras and nosy reporters. She smiled as she received a glass of champagne from one of the waiters. Mixing up with the guests was easy as they were thrilled to see her. Most of them had discussed some business ideas with her while others commended her for being an exception. The attention Nate got was nothing compared to hers. He had almost everyone surrounding him, either trying to speak to him or trying to ask for his business card. She was proud of him and how much people looked up to him. It was only proof that he was hardworking and he made it look easy. Most people won’t believe the stress and opposition he had faced in order to be successful. “Hi beautiful” A man she had recognized from an interview on a morning show. “Hi” she smiled politely Nate was talking with some other businessmen. “Ruby I believe?” He asked with a charming smile She nodded as she sipped her champagne. Unfortunately, she had forgotten his name but remembered

“Do you want to get out of here?” Nate whispered into her ears The words sounded like music to her ears. She could hear the urgency and need in his voice.The conference had started and they had barely paid any attention to what the speaker was saying. Nate’s hands had found their way to her thighs under the table. He loved how soft and smooth her skin was. He had imagined his head buried in between her thighs. Everything about her intrigued him, he had never desired a girl and waited long. He was upfront with whatever he wanted but it was different with Ruby. He wanted to take it slow with her and treat her like the queen that she was. She wasn’t like other girls, she was special and he didn’t have any plans of messing up the good thing they had going on. “Sure” Ruby nodded Her words had come more as a breath. She could feel the heat in between her lap as her body ached for his touch.Like teenagers sneaking food into a movie theater, Nate took her by the hand as they

Nate walked her to her car as usual. He noticed how sad she looked throughout the date. Her eyes held fear and her lips held back words from him.He was scared and so was she. The Italians caused so much damage to everyone, courtesy of Wyatt and his family. He understood how unsafe she was. "Thank you so much, Nate,"she smiled as she unlocked her car.She loved how kind he was, even though they had quarreled most of the time, he didn’t forsake her. He wished he could teleport into her mind and figure out what is wrong with her. Ruby had an ego and won't tell anyone if she had any problem. He shook his head sadly. "Ruby" he began softly, treading carefully. "Is there anything that is troubling you?" He watched her swallow the lump in her throat before she continued. "No, nothing," she said, plastering a fake smile on her face. "I've just been very tired recently, you know,work here and there" He knew she was lying but allowed her to have her way.

Marco paced angrily, a cigarette in hand. Taylor Wyatt wasn't making things easy for him. He had taken her to different islands and thrown the biggest parties for her friends. He sighed as he drew in his smoke,how annoying could the spoiled brat get? So far, her father's campaign was doing just fine and he had a good chance of winning the election. It was crazy that the office for the minister of finance election was more popular than that of the election for the office of president. This was because very influential people were running for the post of Minister of finance. Occupying the office gave them free access to the country's wealth and they could loot money as much as they wanted to. He spent the last week acting all lovey-dovey with Taylor. She made him buy her expensive designer bags. He was comforted by the fact that the new development site was doing just fine and he had a lot of shares in the company. "Hey baby" Taylor called in her singsong voice and wrapped

His school’s principal had called her back the next day. Rebecca stood her ground that getting the children involved with aspiring candidates was dangerous. Some of the candidates were dangerous themselves and would go the extra mile to harm innocent children in order to attain political positions. The principal brushed it off as nothing and assured her that he had everything under control.He said that Wyatt was only being generous and concerned about the children’s welfare. He had donated a huge sum of money and promised them a new basketball court. Of course, Wyatt was the least interested in the children’s welfare. He only wanted their support in the upcoming elections and he had invited reporters to take pictures of him as he donated money to the school. The interior decorator for th

After a long day, Roberta returned home. The smell of her mother’s freshly baked cakes welcomed her. Her mouth watered immediately. “Mommy!” Lorenzo yelled happily as he played around his mother’s feet. She scooped her little delight into her arms and rained kisses on him. She did a good job masking the sadness she felt. When Carl was eating, she noticed some scars on his hands due to the moving of his shirt. She panicked, fresh tears falling off her eyes the third time. She scolded him for subjecting himself to such harsh punishment. He brushed it off, saying it was nothing important. Her heart shattered into a million pieces when she forced him to take off his shirt. The scars ran all the way from his nape to his lower back. It was obvious that he was attacked because of her and that was the reason he hadn’t contacted for a while.She prayed Lorenzo was nothing like that. She helped him apply ointment even though he assured her that he was doing just fine. When he w

"Welcome" she through gritted teeth.She had not forgotten the shame the couple brought her but she was willing to invest with them. "Thank you for having us.
