Chapter 56Jaxon felt troubled as he stood in front of the master bedroom. It was his room and he could just barge in but the thought of coming face to face with Ruby after all that transpired in such a short time left him feeling drained. Lucas the guard who was standing at the side kept glancing at Jaxon and felt uncomfortable by his presence and silence. Jaxon finally noticed him and he immediately looked down. “Is she awake?” He asked“Yes sir, I heard movement’s in the room awhile ago.” She mumbled “Did she get anything to eat?”“No sir.” Lucas timidly replied “Okay and speak clearly when I’m talking to you next time.” Jaxon said coldly and walked into the room.“Can’t you knock!” Ruby exclaimed as she hurriedly jumped under the duvet. “I can but I won’t cause this is my fucking bedroom.” Jaxon deadpanned and made his way to the closet.He didn’t know why he said that or used that tone on her but seeing her covering her body irked him and not in a good way.He took off his
Chapter 56Ruby paused at Jaxon’s sudden confession and when he saw that she wasn’t saying anything else, . He tried to pull away but Ruby wouldn't let him. She grasped his hand tightly and tugged him until he faced her."Jaxon, I’m very sorry that I defiled your orders and left?" She apologized again, unable to hide the pain in her voice. Her eyes had turned glassy but she fought to keep from crumbling in front of him."Please say something," she pleaded. Ruby pulled at his sleeves to get him to look at her. In truth, to get any reaction out of him at all. She wasn't used to Jaxon showing no emotion especially when you did something to piss him off."I'm sorry about what I did, I shouldn't have gone there." Ruby apologized in a shaky voice. She was so close to letting her tears fall. She had apologized to him when they were on the plane, but she felt the need to do so again. Maybe because she needed more reassurance."I'm sorry," she whispered.One moment she was in front of him as s
Chapter 57With the sudden time alone, Ruby decided to take a nap to clear her head. Barely thirty minutes in, her phone rang and woke her up. She was still groggy from sleep as she felt blindly on the bed for her phone."Hello?" She answered with a yawn, then rubbed her eyes to try to keep them open."Pack your bags, I'll come pick you up in two hours." Jaxon's demanding voice came through the receiver. Ruby's eyes widened and she sat up urgently when she processed what he said."Pack? Where are we going?" She asked as any trace of sleep vanished from her eyes.When they arrived in Russia, she saw a suitcase containing her clothes that Jaxon must have packed after she passed out from Kevin ordeal, so she actually thought that they were going to spend a longer time in Russia. "The airport, and don't be late. We fly out to New York tonight." Jaxon replied impatiently. "But why so soon? Surely we can stay a little longer?""No we can't. I never intended to stay in Russia long." Jaxon e
Chapter 58Jaxon’s car stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse that looked like it would fall at any moment. The walls were cracked and the old yellow paint was chipping off. Lucas opened the door for him and immediately he stepped down a scowl made its way to his face and he started cracking his knuckles. “Let the games begin.” he said menacingly.He followed Ruslan who was walking ahead of him and the guards that were stationed at the door respectfully bowed when Jaxon passed them. The room was dimly lit and it had a strong stench of blood and other bodily fluids. Jaxon pinched the bridge of his nose in disgust. A battered figure was tied up on a chair with their legs bound in tight ropes and their hands tied tightly behind the chair. Jaxon gave a sadistic smile as he stared at the battered figure whose head hung limply. “I see you have been enjoying the hospitality of my boys.” Jaxon said with a smile.Kevin slowly raised his face and It was littered with bruises, his lip
Jaxon was practically vibrating with anger and exhaustion when he finally got home in the evening. His whole body felt heavy and he could feel a headache coming but he ignored it and pulled off his jacket which he threw on the couch and removed his tie, with an annoyed sigh he unbuttoned his shirt and made his way to the kitchen. He opened the last cabinet at the top and took his favorite mug. He walked to the coffee machine and started it up. A smile made its way to his lips as the smell of fresh coffee hit him. He picked up the cup and took a sip of the pure black liquid. He felt refreshed as he went back to the living room and sat on the couch. He brought out his phone and started going through mails, replying to the important ones related to the projects he is working on and ignoring the ones he deemed irrelevant. His phone screen lit up and a text message from Damon popped up on the screen.“I just sent you a copy of the contract we will be offering Mr. Lee tomorrow, please
Chapter 60Damon pulled up at the large apartment complex and checked his phone to make sure he was at the right building. He didn't know why landlords liked having similar looking buildings right next to each other,he thought wryly as he glanced down the street to see two more nearly identical apartment complexes.He made it to the front of the building before his phone chimed in his pocket. He reached for his phone and saw Jaxon's contact flashing across the screen. He wasn't surprised because he swore Jaxon had the uncanny ability to call him at the right time. He definitely knew Jaxon was calling to ask about any developments. And warn him off doing anything that he didn't ask, Damon thought with a smile.He flicked the screen and took the call. "Hello,""Have you arrived?" Jaxon's cool voice came through the line."I've just arrived. I'm outside the apartment complex as we speak." He replied. He shoved his other hand into his pocket and looked down to admire his shoes. He had
Chapter 61 Jaxon was taking care of a few things before they would leave the house, even after killing Kevin, he still did not feel satisfied. The bastard should have suffered more.Jaxon already informed Ruby they would leave in an hour and a half to beat the traffic.There was still time on her hands so Ruby decided to pamper herself and take a soothing bath instead of a regular shower. It was a hot day out so she opted for a dress instead of a pants outfit. She chose a floral dress that hugged her bust and flared at the waist, showcasing her nice figure. The dress stopped a few inches above her knees so her legs were on display.Satisfied with her appearance, she glanced at the clock for the third time in the last hour noting that there was still twenty minutes before they left.She met Jaxon in the living room casually scrolling on his phone. He stopped when he heard her footsteps then looked up and froze. Ruby cleared her throat and Jaxon blinked rapidly before standing on his
Ruby was still flushed as the car came to a halt in front of a modern mansion. She was still overwhelmed by all the sensations that went through her body in such a short span of time.She shyly glanced at Jaxon who was waiting for the driver to open the door for him and their eyes locked.“Like what you see Gem? You can ogle me all you want later but shall we go meet your in-laws first?” Jaxon smirked as her blush got darker.He got down from the car and stretched his hands to help her out.Immediately she got down, he grabbed her waist and steadied her.Ruby felt like running back home and hiding away in the safety of her soft bed and duvet.She felt embarrassed as the guards gave them a funny look.She looked up and glared at Jaxon who was looking so calm and composed which was the exact opposite of how she felt.She felt like kicking him for doing that when he knew fully well that they would be visiting his family.She wondered just how good he was at keeping his emotions in check
