Months have passed and Ruby couldn’t be happier. Things have been going well and life has been good and most importantly peaceful. It was everything she had ever wanted and today was a special day.

They would finally know the gender of their baby and Ruby was excited. She couldn’t wait to know if she would be having a little prince or a beautiful princess. She smiled softly as she caressed her protruding baby bump.

Ruby’s eyes were filled with a maternal glow, a soft, radiant light that speaks of the joy and anticipation that filled her heart as she gently caressed her stomach.

She was standing before the large mirror in their room wearing black shorts and a sports bra.

Her lips curved into a smile as she turned sideways and admired the size of her stomach, she couldn’t believe she had life growing within her.

Ruby was grateful for this gift. She continued to gently use her fingers to trace her stomach as if she was touching her child. She gazed into the mirror with a look of wonder

    The food Jaxon and Ruby were having for dinner didn't sit well with Ruby. Nothing seemed to entice these days. She was really nauseous and if she took another bite, she was sure she was going to throw it all up. Her stomach was basically at her throat so eating had become quite the hassle. And the pain she was feeling didn't help her feel any better."Something wrong with the food?" Jaxon asked, a brow raised as he popped a piece of meat into his mouth."Everything is." She sighed. She had been pushing the food around her plate for a few minutes now."So you want something else?... Are you okay, you look a bit unwell, is it the meat?" The space between Jaxon's brows furrowed as he asked her."It's not... Maybe... I don't know. I'm just feeling a bit of pain in my stomach." She told him, and as if to make a point, a sharp pain stung just below her belly button and she leaned over and expelled a deep breath."Gem?" Jaxon's voice wobbled out."Just... Give me a moment." She took deep br

    "Jaxon, they are so beautiful," Ruby whispered to him as they watched their daughters sleep. It all still felt unreal to her. Just a few days ago, she still had both of them in her stomach and she had been as large as a whale. But now, she had two little humans who she called her own children.They were both their father's daughters. They had the same slightly tan skin as Jaxon with blond hair. They were identical with the exception of their eyes.One had really deep blue eyes like her and the other had lighter blue eyes like Jaxon."They are." He said."Shh, be quiet or you'll wake Emerald up," Ruby hissed as she glanced at the thankfully still-sleeping baby. Emerald was his mini-me, her eyes were the same shade as his and she had a knack for waking up at the slightest noise. Ruby knew it had been a nightmare to get her to go to bed the first two nights they had come home."Are you sure Avery won't be the one to wake up?" He said, then pointed towards the baby who was moving a lot i

    Epilogue."Avery, be careful with your brother, he's still too small to do that," I told my five-year-old daughter.Her brother, Jeremy was a bustling toddler who was a few weeks away from turning a year old, but even a bouncy castle was a bit too much for him."Mom, what if he goes on for a little while.""How about you both go play in the playpen instead, hmm. Where's Emerald?" Her sister wasn't anywhere I could see but I had an idea of where she could be."With Dad," Avery said then guided her brother towards the playpen.Sure enough, just out of my line of sight, Emerald was playing with Jaxon. A smile tugged at my lips as I watched them, I didn't bother interrupting and strolled back into the villa to get us some lunch.Five years might be a long time for some people but to me, it had gone by in the blink of an eye.If I had told my younger self that she would get married to one of the richest men in the country and go on to have a beautiful family, she would have probably called

    "Get ready to pick up your sister's corpse the next time you come to the hospital!" The voice from the other end of the line barked at Ruby, causing a cold shiver to run down her back. "Wha-what?" Ruby muttered. "What do you mean by corpse?"""I'm afraid your sister's treatment has been put on hold due to unpaid bills, Miss Ruby." The nurse replied with a much sharper tone now.Ruby sighed, tears welling up in her eyes. "Please, I'm begging. Don't take her off treatment, you know she needs it, Ma'am""If you think I'd keep giving her drugs and injections when you are yet to pay the money you owe the hospital, and risk losing my job, then you need to have a rethink, Miss Ruby!""I'll try to pay up, just don't abandon her in that state, please""My hands are tied. You need to pay before anything else can be done. Do you want to see her dead?""No!" Ruby cried out."Then, pay your debt so we can resume treatment on her!" With that, the call ended..Tears streamed freely out of Ruby's

    Chapter 2"Tell me, Ruby!" The male voice behind her said, "Are you selectively deaf? I'm certain you heard me quite well."Slowly, she swung around to face the man. There was an obvious look of disdain on his face. He raised a finger and flicked it at her, urging her to edge close to him. Ruby was stunned, barely able to believe what was happening. Did he just agree to make her his wife in exchange for any money she requests for? She was at a loss at whether to cry or smile, rather she remained numb, staring down at the man. "If we will pull this off, you need to stop acting like an aged donkey!" The man snapped.She nodded. "I asked earlier, what gave you the courage to approach me?" "You look like a man in need of a wife," Ruby stated bluntlyThe man frowned. He cast a glance at his wristwatch, and let out a long hiss. She was right. He needed a wife. The woman he had agreed with to sign the documents with him had stood him up, even after he explained how important it was.

Get into the car, let's drop you off at the restaurant""Oh-yeah," She muttered and went in.After the driver drove for some minutes, Jaxon broke the silence in the car. "Have this!" He said, handing his phone to her.Her right eyebrow shot up, "Why?""Take this!" He said with impatience, "Ruby, one rule you must obey as long as we interact is to do whatever I say. Now, get this phone!" His voice was firmerWith shaky hands, she collected the phone, eying him. The other men in the car were silent and a soft music played in the car radio."Now, input your phone number in there." He said.She nodded and started to punch her number in, eager to please him. He had such a controlling aura that left her with no choice than to do whatever he wanted. He snatched the phone from her and saved her number."Wha

    Chapter 4"You don't just ring up my line, after making me sign a marriage contract with you and ghosting me," Ruby yelled in annoyance on the phone at the same man she was trying her best to forget.There was a short silence on the other end of the line."I know you heard me, Mr. Jaxon!" She said, more angered by his silence, "You went two weeks without speaking to me, I'm sure you can make it two years" She mocked."Watch your tone!" Jaxon's deep voice replied, "You're my wife now, and you'll do as I say." "I'm not your wife, not in any real sense. And I'm at work right now, so I can't just drop everything for you.""You'll quit that job, effective immediately," Jaxon ordered, "I don't want my contracted wife working in a place like that. You need to be available whenever I desire."Ruby's face flushed with anger. Her hands trembled as she gripped the phone. "You can't just dictate my life like that! I won't quit my job, and I won't be at your beck and call."Jaxon let out a mirth

    Jaxon removed Ruby's hot mouth from him because he didn't want this to be over so soon. He wanted to do so much more.He helped Ruby to her feet and his hands immediately found her plump cheeks. He grasped them tightly, his fingers digging into her flesh then pulled her closer to him until she straddled him on the bed.His lips settled on hers again and Ruby opened her mouth to accommodate him. His tongue clashed against hers over and over again in a duel which he won. He licked around her mouth and Ruby opened it more to him as she let out a loud moan which he swallowed. He bit her bottom lip and sucked it lightly between his lips and Ruby hissed in response.His tongue, teeth, and lips all worked in unison to bring Ruby to a quivering mess of nerves. He pulled away long enough to admire the way her lips were pink and swollen. She looked very flushed, her cheeks colored and eyes glazed over in passion or need. Maybe both, since he couldn't quite tell.He placed a barely there kiss on

    The clear sky had faded to a dark blue as the city shifted from day to night life. As Jaxon drove through the roads, he could see some night clubs that had started to open and some people on the streets were dressed elegantly for dinner.Jaxon was calm, or as calm as one could be after he had successfully dealt with the situation concerning June. He didn't want to think of it any longer, all he wanted to do was go home and be with his Gem.He pulled up outside the house and strolled in with the intention of surprising Ruby. But that plan changed when he got a whiff of a heavenly scent coming from the kitchen. Was that steak? The scent of roasted vegetables wafted through the air as well and he wondered what was going in the kitchen. And was Ruby making dinner?He was the one primarily in charge of cooking because Ruby didn't do so often. And he couldn't blame her either because she had a strong fear of fire and it would be cruel of him to put her in a place where she would frequently

    June shivered in fear and her heart beat accelerated as she looked up at Jaxon’s darkened eyes. He looked livid.June felt like she was about to faint under his harsh eyes, he was glaring at her with so much anger that she felt light headed from the intensity of the look. Her heart was beating so wildly that it felt like she was running a marathon.June closed her eyes and tightly clasped her hands together on her laps. She took a shaky breath and gathered the courage to repeat herself.“I apologize for locking her up in the restroom on Keith’s birthday… I just wanted to show Keith that I was the better match and she was a disappointment.” June muttered and Jaxon’s nose flared up in anger. He felt like punching her right now.He had accused Ruby of lying to him that day and they even had a fight all because of her. He angrily slammed his hands on her table and June’s eyes started to fill with unshed tears as she shivered in fright.“So it was you! It was all you! How dare you! How cou

    "When did you find out about the contract?" He asked and June stilled."I don't -""Don't start with that bullshit talk of you not knowing what I'm talking about. You know exactly what I'm saying and I'm not going to repeat myself." He said annoyed."I- I" she stammered and Jaxon's nose flared in irritation."Oh, and I don't have all day so don't beat around the bush. I would advise you to stop acting like a weak lamb because I know what you did. I know about Serena." He told her and watched as June's eyes widened in shock. June remained silent for a while and her mouth kept opening and closing like a fish."I-i can explain." June let out slowly after she managed to find her voice."Knock yourself out. Don't leave out any details when you're "explaining" yourself, and just so you know, I'm not going to take things lightly with you. Not after what you did. And be careful how you answer this question because your life and company are at stake here.” Jaxon warned.June was taken aback, h
