He used it to press the injury to stop the bleeding. He was worried but also glad that the knife cut was not deep.After the bleeding stopped Jaxon stood up with Ruby nestled in his arms as he rushed out of the house. Jaxon was anxious as he ran to the car.Ruslan didn’t notice he was back until he kicked the car with his foot.

Just drive damn it.” Jaxon

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

"Can you drive a little faster?" Jaxon told the driver as he tried his best to reign in his voice. Worry was the least way to describe what he was feeling. He glanced at Ruby who was sprawled across his lap passed out. She seemed a bit pale to him and it was now he noticed how unwell she looked. She passed out, he told himself, yet he still found it hard to believe even though she was right in front of him. She had been completely fine before the press announcement, and she wasn't sick beforehand, so he couldn't chuck it up to her being ill. Or was it that the press announcement had taken its toll on her and her body couldn't handle it? So many possibilities crossed his mind but he couldn't be sure of any one of them until they got to the hospital which they should have reached but the driver and the traffic were pissing him off. "What's the hold-up?" He said not bothering to hold back the bite in his voice. "I'm sorry sir, it's the traffic." The driver let out and

Chapter 169 Jaxon spent the next hour assuring Ruby that he wasn't mad at her and that he wanted to have the baby. The doctor had given them the permission to leave the hospital since there really wasn't anything wrong with Ruby. He had however told them that she should take it easy for a couple of days so she would not pass out again. They left the hospital and the car ride home had been shorter and thankfully without any hiccups along the way. Ruby had remained quiet throughout and simply stared out the window. He noticed this and took her hand and squeezed to let her know he was there and that she could rely on him. She glanced at him and smiled before squeezing his hand back. Immediately they pulled up at the house, they were ambushed at the door and congratulations followed with some pats on the back. He was afraid it would overwhelm Ruby since he didn't give her a heads up before coming home but she seemed to be doing fine. He had told Keith and Damon t
