Jaxon's mind was running in circles as he pulled up at the house. He had told Ruby he would handle the press and he did just that when he had called Damon and told him to get all news of them off the press. They had succeeded at first when all articles were removed and things had gone quiet. But that was only for a few hours.What Jaxon wasn't capable of stopping was word of mouth. People still talked about the articles, and before he knew it, new, more outrageous articles and magazines had come up with a more scandalous version of the story. They had written something about Ruby being a prostitute and secret employee of his whom he had paid to keep other women off his back because he didn't actually want to get married and wanted to change women as often as he liked. And that was the least scandalous story of the bunch. The truth of the matter was in there somewhere but it had quickly been distorted with the amount of lies being added to the story. He had to give it to the press,

Ruby was terrified and her heart pounded so loudly in her chest that she could hear it. Why had she come here? She thought as her eyes watered and tears flowed down her cheeks in steady streams.She glanced at Kim who was staring at her with a psychotic look in her eyes. She had never seen Kim like that before. Hair in disarray, malnourished and looking all around tattered. She didn't even dare to look Kim directly in her eyes for fear that it would anger her."Kim, please don't do this." She whispered. She couldn't even breathe properly because she feared the knife Kim held against her throat would cut her."Shut up! You are in no position to be demanding for anything." Kim hissed with so much anger that Ruby could not recognize the voice of her sister anymore."Please Kim, I'm begging you. You don't have to do this. We can talk about this, we-" "Quiet!" Kim yelled furiously and Ruby felt the knife as it dug into her throat slightly. Ruby felt the stinging pain of her injury and c

Ruby was sad. Jaxon could tell even though she always pretended to be okay and happy. Half of the time, she was lost in her head, thinking and daydreaming, and sometimes, she could see the guilt and tears she tried so desperately to hide from him. She was affected by Kimberly’s death and even though Jaxon had seen it coming he still felt sad and angry. He was annoyed at the fact that Ruby was mourning for someone who had gone through so much to make her life a living hell. He was annoyed that she still cared about a person that almost killed her. He wondered how one could be so soft-hearted and strong at the same time. It was one of the qualities he loved most about her but he hated this time around. She tried to appear strong and unaffected before him but Jaxon could see the sadness buried deep within her eyes. And he tried to calm everything down before she fully recovered so she didn’t have another thing to worry about. The news of their contract had died

Pregnant? No, no, no... It's just not possible. It can't be. A million thoughts ran through Ruby's head at the possibility that she could be pregnant. Jaxon had been careful, but her? She didn't want to think too far, maybe Nana was just saying things and it had to be just wishful thinking on Nana's part. She couldn't be pregnant, Ruby thought, yet a sinking feeling in her chest told her otherwise. Her hands went clammy as she remembered she hadn't taken the birth control pills Jaxon had given her. She couldn't exactly recall why but she did change out the pills and started taking vitamins instead. Ruby's heart missed a beat as she thought of where actually being pregnant would lead to. She didn't even want to imagine it. What would Jaxon think? She was sure that an argument had occurred between them relating to the very issue of kids where Jaxon had told her he wasn't ready to have kids yet. Damn it, was she even ready to have kids herself? She highly doubted it

Evening rolled around, and Jaxon ordered the driver to hurry up so that he could pick Ruby up. He glanced at his watch, saw it was half past five then sighed. He was late, and he hated being late. He had promised Ruby that he would pick her up by five but he had gotten carried away with work that he didn't notice when the time went by. It had gone by so fast that before he realized what was happening, it was already almost five and he was nowhere near where Ruby was. The driver pulled up outside the building and Jaxon got out of the car in a rush. He made his way into the house and there was an evident bounce in his steps as he went. He met Ruby waiting for him and immediately started to apologize. "I'm sorry Gem, I got caught up with work." He apologized as Ruby came up to him and hugged him. "It's okay, I understand." She whispered against his chest and his chest rumbled at the heat of her skin. "Did you have a good time?" He asked her as they walked to the car. He

The couple were lost in each other, their lips locked in a passionate kiss as their hands roamed freely, mapping the curves and contours of each other's bodies in the intimate, shadowed space of the back seat. Things started to get heated and Ruby moaned softly as Jaxon sucked on her tongue. Ruby had long forgotten that they had company as she straddled Jaxon’s lap and started to softly rock her hips as they passionately kissed. Ruby started to feel out of breath and she softly tapped Jaxon’s shoulders. He gently pulled away from the kiss, and a string of saliva connected them as they gazed at each other with lust-filled eyes. Jaxon connected their foreheads, their breathing heavy, their sighs of pleasure mingled with the heat of their desire burning within them. Ruby finally noticed that the driver was still in the car and she froze, feeling like a cold bucket of water had been poured on her. Her cheeks heated up in embarrassment and she hugged Jaxon tightly. “Get

The day was finally here. The day Jaxon would stake his claim on Ruby in public. He had prepared a press conference with a few reporters who were well-known in the industry. He wanted to get the news out there fast. After the whole contract issue, his PR suggested that the best way to completely bury the issue was to come out in public and explain everything to the people. He had finished getting dressed in a cream-colored three-piece suit with a beautiful red tie and was seated in the living room waiting for Ruby to come down. Ruby slowly made her way in her beautiful silk red gown, it glowed like embers in the dim light of the room. The fabric draped around her curves, hugging her form in a way that is both tantalizing and elegant. The hem swept across the floor as she moved with a seductive and elegant grace. Her hair was beautifully coiled, and each strand was neatly styled as they framed her face, bringing out the beauty of her small face. Jaxon heard the soft
