Ophelia peeped out the window as a worried look crossed her face. Kim looked through another window and caught dozens of paparazzi vehicles on the road. Her plan had worked better than she hoped. Now all she had to do was wait then call Ruby on what was happening to her, and boom, she would get what she wanted.The paparazzi outside their door seemed to have made a deal with one another. They no longer shouted all at once but took turns yelling questions. Questions that both she and Ophelia heard."How's your relationship with your sister?!""What about the relationship between your sister and Jaxon?" "Will we soon see a baby in the mix?"There were a lot more questions that were asked but these were a few she had picked up and could remember. Frankly, Kim found their shouting and questions exhausting after only ten minutes of listening. It was now clear to Ophelia that the press was here for her but Ophelia hadn't asked her anything about it. Kim thought that Ophelia assumed the

Ruby was scared.She felt like her whole senses were shivering in fright as Jaxon drove them to the hotel. She couldn’t sit still, she kept tapping her feet on the floor and Jaxon worriedly glanced at her from time to time.“They are safe now Gem, you don’t need to worry so much,” Jaxon said softly. Ruby sighed and turned to face him. She looked like she had just seen a scary movie and Jaxon almost cursed out loud.He grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips, he placed a soft kiss and rested their intertwined hands on his laps while he drove.Ruby nodded and took a deep breath to calm herself.Jaxon parked in the hotel's parking lot and turned to Ruby. He leaned forward and unbuckled her seat belt.“I won’t be going in with you 'cause I know you’ll want to have some alone time with them. But! I don’t want you to cry when you get there, they are both fine and safe, nothing happened so don’t get too worked up. Okay?” Jaxon cupped Ruby’s cheeks and stared directly into her eyes as he

Ruby felt like she had been stabbed straight into her heart. All her life she has been nothing but an amazing sister who places the needs of her Kimberly before her own and now just because she couldn’t grant this small request she was called a bad sister.Her heart ached as she stood up from the bed. She felt a heavy headache coming on as she thought about how she was going to deal with the issue at hand.She loved Kim. After all, she was the only surviving family she had left and she had never refused to give her whatever she wanted but why won’t she understand that things are now more complicated?She couldn’t bring herself to reject her. In her eyes, Kim looked really scared and just wanted to feel safe in her sister’s company but then there was Jaxon.He has made it clear to her that he doesn’t like people invading his private space so how would she convince him to allow Kimberly to stay with them?“I’m sorry Kim, you can stay with me for as long as you want.” Ruby sighed and Kim

There was satisfaction etched in Kim as the car drove to Jaxon's house. Her plan was going just the way she wanted and she couldn't have been happier. There were a few times when she thought things wouldn't go exactly as she imagined them, but she was glad those instances worked themselves out.Kim knew that making that post and getting the paparazzi to go crazy was just a stepping stone for the main part of her plan. She had thought her plan through several times and knew that she would have to get Jaxon to like her if she was going to succeed. She had to get pregnant for him one way or the other, Kim thought to herself.Thinking about getting closer to Jaxon and actually doing were two completely different things. Kim was sure that that would be a stumbling block when she stayed with them. She had her work cut out for her because the man didn't even look at her, so talking to her was out of the question.Kim had noticed that anytime she was in his presence, or really if anyone el

Ruby left Kim alone and went to find Jaxon. He had been in a mood ever since he knew Kim would be living with them. But what could she do? She couldn't just leave her sister to fend for herself when she was potentially being stalked by the press. She had first-hand experience of what that was like and it wasn't fun. She also had the crippling fear that some bad people could use her sister to get to her then Jaxon. She didn't even want to think about it.She hadn't forgotten the shooting at the mall and how Lucas had almost died because he saved her. She would be damned if she so much as put Kim in a similar position.Ruby found Jaxon in their bedroom, theirs. Jaxon had practically demanded they share a room after they had made up. She still found it surreal how not so long ago she was prepared to leave because she thought that was what Jaxon had wanted. And now, they had made up and were closer than they had ever been. Her heart warmed at how far they had come and she couldn't have

Jaxon finished getting dressed in his three-piece suit and after spraying the perfume that Ruby got for him he walked out of the closet with a small smile on his face.He felt like stepping on his own toes for being so sappy. He didn’t know when he became so soft because of his cute wife. He softly walked up to the bed in order not to make any sounds that would wake Ruby up from sleep.He smiled as he stared at her sleeping face. She looked so peaceful with her hair all over the place and her cheeks all puffed up.Jaxon placed a sweet kiss on her forehead and made his way out of the room softly closing the door behind him.He walked down the stairs and made his way to the kitchen.Jaxon saw Kimberly setting the table and he felt a rush of annoyance.“What are you doing?” Jaxon asked.Kimberly was startled by the loud voice and turned around to find the source. She smiled shyly when she saw Jaxon standing behind her with a blank face.“Good morning Jaxon. I was going to call you down f

Ruby sighed sadly as she watched Jaxon leave. She missed him already. Why did he have to leave her behind?Ruby hated being away from Jaxon but she knew it was necessary, he has so many responsibilities and she must help him complete them and not be the reason for him to get distracted and neglect his duties and work.Ruby hated how mature she could be at times, she knew that if she had asked Jaxon to stay and work from home he would agree but she couldn’t be selfish.She groaned as she stood up from the chair and turned to leave the dining area when Kim stopped her.“Do you trust your husband?” Kimberly suddenly asked and Ruby turned with confusion clear on her face. “I don’t understand,” Ruby replied.“It is exactly what you heard. Do you trust your husband?” Kimberly repeated with a mischievous smile.“Why won’t I trust him? He has never given me a reason not to. So yes, I trust Jaxon with my whole being.” Ruby replied with a sweet smile.She felt like if there was a word that was

Kim glanced at her phone for what felt like the thousandth time. She had invited Ruby for lunch and she didn't know what was taking so long. Whether they went or not didn't really matter to her, what mattered was that her plan went the way she wanted it to go.Her stay at the house had been enjoyable so far but the only thing that pissed her off was that none of it was hers. The house, the cars, the man! She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. All in due time, she told herself. She would make sure of it. Ruby wouldn't know what hit her and by the time she did, it would already be too late.She had been lounging on the couch in the living room downstairs for over an hour but it was starting to feel like an eternity. Kim checked her phone again, and this time, she let out an audible sigh. What was taking so long anyway? They were just going for lunch, not some party, she grumbled internally.She flicked open her phone and dialed Ruby's number. There was no way she was going up to m
