The morning sky was a brilliant blue and it wasn't as cloudy as the news forecast had suggested. It wasn't going to rain today and the weather was just perfect for taking a walk. Too bad the last thing on Ruby's was walking.She had woken up today with the determination to leave but she still found herself idling about. She needed to knock herself out of it because she couldn't stay. Not anymore. The contract between her and Jaxon had ended today and she wanted to make the move out on her own with dignity rather than to allow Jaxon to throw her out.She hadn't seen him today and her heart clenched with the thought that he couldn't even grace her with his presence. Last night, she had dreamt that Jaxon had begged her not to go and she had felt so content. Only to wake up this morning with her happiness snatched away from her.She had a few things packed nights ago so she only really needed to grab them and go. She glanced at the room she had grown to love and felt her heart constrict
"I do." Jaxon breathed out so low she could barely hear him."What?" She asked in shock. Was she hearing what she thought she was hearing?"I said I do Ruby. I love you so fucking much." He said in a firmer voice. Ruby seemed to have frozen in time as she processed what Jaxon had said. Jaxon had said he loved her. He loved her. Those three words repeated in her head over and over again as her heart swelled with happiness."Tell me again." She demanded breathlessly. Jaxon gave her a dazzling smile and at that moment, she knew she was the luckiest girl in the world."I love you, Ruby." He said, his words much slower than before. Ruby's heart fluttered and she suddenly felt shy under his gaze with the way he was looking at her."And don't even think of leaving me again." He told her."I won't." She whispered to him. His hands were wound tight around her waist as he pulled her close to him."I won't let you leave especially now that you've managed to work your way through my heart, and th
It’s been days since the whole packing up fiesta and Ruby couldn’t be happier.All thanks to her being irrational that day they finally confesses their feelings for each other. She felt like that was the best thing that had ever happened to her cause it opened a new chapter that was filled with endless love and devotion.She didn’t know how to explain it but since that life life has not been the same. It got sweeter and more exciting. Jaxon treated her with so much love that it sometimes feels like he is guarding a precious glass.He didn’t allow her to do anything around the house. He didn’t even allow her to bathe and clothe herself.If this was what people called the honeymoon phase then she didn’t want it to ever end. She is experiencing the best days of her entire life and it was all thanks to her husband.Each day she fell more deeply in love with Jaxon. He was just too precious and she couldn’t imagine how tragic her life would have been if she had lost him that day.She has al
Ruby smiled sweetly at the receptionist as she entered the lift and pressed the last form. She hummed a sweet tune as she waited for the elevator to arrive at Jaxon’s office floor.The door automatically opened and she felt giddy as she walked through the empty hallway that led to his office.She was happy that there was no nuisance to stop her from going into the office. She smiled as she knocked on the black door.Without waiting for a reply she turned the handle and walked into the room with a huge smile on her face.Jaxon, who was busy going over his pile of files, was immersed in work when he heard a soft knock on the door.He sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation. He could vividly remember telling his assistant that he didn’t want to see anyone so why was there a person knocking on his door?He heard the door knob turn and he felt anger bubbling within him. How dare they open his door without permission?He decided to quietly wait for whoever it was that dare
Kim paced in her room like a soldier on a mission. She had had it, more than had it with Damon and the situation itself. She was worried too because Damon wasn't as receptive as before.This wasn't how she envisioned her plan going during their last meeting. Her plans had definitely gone a few steps back which infuriated her. She and Damon had only met once since the fight and she had a sneaking suspicion that he was keeping her at arm's length.And at the moment, she stared at her phone like it was the cause of all her troubles.She had called Damon so many times in the past hour that it was a miracle she hadn't been blocked yet. Some of the calls had gone through, others had gone straight to voicemail. She sighed deeply as she stared at her blank phone screen. He didn't pick up. Again.It was always a battle just to reach him on the phone and she disliked that fact. She didn't know if he was purposefully ignoring her calls or simply that he wasn't aware or wasn't getting them. She k
"Why did you show up here?" Damon asked her. She could hear the anger in his words but still chose to ignore it."I wanted to see you Damon." She told him and the frown which she thought was already quite visible deepened. Damon shook his head lightly and gave her a pointed stare."You really have lost your mind." He muttered while he still shook his head."No, I'm perfectly sane." She stated. She felt annoyed at the way he stared at her like she had done something completely wrong."I came because you've been avoiding me Damon. We haven't had a proper conversation in so long and I don't like it. So how about we skip this place and go somewhere to catch up?" She suggested with imaginary crossed fingers. She silently prayed and hoped he would agree."Here we go again." He let out then gave her a disapproving look."Can't you get it through your head that I'm not going anywhere with you. We aren't even dating so you must be delusional to suggest that kind of thing." He told her.Just th
FEW MINUTES EARLIERRuby and Jaxon made their way out of the office with huge smiles on their faces. They walked into the elevator and Jaxon smirked as the door closed.Ruby gasped as he pulled her into his arms, he grabbed her ass and placed a sweet kiss on her lips. Ruby’s face heated up as she softly kissed back.She wrapped her arms around his neck and moaned softly as he massaged her ass. “Jaxon, stop it, the door can open any moment now,” Ruby said in between kisses.“It doesn’t matter Gem, everyone is busy at their workstations anyways,” Jaxon whispered and deepened the kiss. Ruby moaned into the kiss.She felt out of breath and tapped Jaxon on the chest. Her chest was heaving up and down as they separated and Jaxon smiled as he looked at her flushed face.“No more kissing,” Ruby whispered.Jaxon groaned as he placed a final kiss on her lips and pulled away. Ruby smiled up at him as she quickly tried to adjust her gown.The elevator made a ding sound and opened. They both walke
Kim had her face pressed into her pastel pink pillow as she cried. She felt like she was suffocating as tears kept falling from her eyes.Kim felt like the whole world was against her happiness, why couldn’t she be happy like everyone else? Why was she always left behind? She felt deserted as she cried bitterly.She felt shattered. She felt like a lost soul as the pain of her broken heart slowly ate her up. She didn’t know what she did to deserve such treatment from Damon.Was it so wrong for her to want something with him? Was there truly such a thing as no strings attached? She should have known better. She should have known that the strings always end up getting entangled.She felt used.It was as if nothing good ever came her way. Everyone always leaves and she’s tired of this roller coaster. More tears streamed down her face as she flipped over.Kim cried harder as she thought about all the events that took place that day. She wondered why Damon did that to her. Was she not good
