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
Ruby stared wide eyed at Keith and she felt lost for words as his question kept repeating itself in her mind.I’m dead.How am I supposed to reply to that? I can’t allow them to find out that we haven’t had sex because we are not really a couple and neither can I lie that we have cause my stupid ass might start to stutter judging by how nervous I’m feeling right now. Ruby thought.Well technically we almost had sex she thought and blood immediately started rushing to her cheeks at the thought of their car adventure, in the office as well and ke kisses her.“Well grandpa we are both very healthy adults and married so of course we uhm do what every married couple do and stuffs” She laughed nervously and grandpa smiled.“I’m not referring to stuffs Ruby, I'm talking about sex. Do you both have sex with each other or is Jaxon too busy to make time for that?” Keith stressed on the word sex and Ruby awkwardly coughed.She can’t believe her in-laws are interested in their sex life and she cu
Chapter 64The drive home was much smoother than earlier. The traffic had since slowed down so Ruby could sit back and enjoy the ride. Ruby found herself yet again staring out the window and completely spaced out."... Ruby?" Jaxon's voice pierced through whatever trance she had been in and she blinked rapidly."Hmmm... Sorry, I was lost in thought." She told him. Jaxon only glanced at her before he continued."I was asking what my grandfather told you." He said, then looked at his phone. Jaxon glanced at her again, briefly, before clearing his throat. Ruby visibly jumped and then offered an apologetic smile."Lost in thought again?" Jaxon asked and she shook her head."I was just thinking." Jaxon didn't say anything and continued to look at her expectantly."Well?" He said impatiently."Oh, we just caught up on things." She rushed out."Is that all?""Yes, nothing special happened." With a slight nod, Jaxon went back to tapping away on his phone. Ruby assumed that it had to do with b
Chapter 65Warm sunlight filtered through the bedroom window and Jaxon found himself enjoying it. The view was nice and there was no noise from traffic since it was still quite early.It was just past seven but he was fully dressed and would head to work in a bit. He wasn't like some people who whiled away their time by lying in bed. He lived strictly by the motto that the early bed gets the worm.He was still looking out the window when he heard the door slam and the soft pad of footsteps approached him. He turned around to reprimand Ruby for entering without knocking but all thoughts left his head at the sight of her. He felt his throat close up and he couldn't get any words out. He was thankful he still had the self control to not gape at her.She had just woken up and had come straight to his bedroom. He wasn't exaggerating. Her dark hair fell around her like a shawl and her eyes were still a bit glazed from sleep. She still had her waking up face which consisted of pouty lips an
Ruby felt giddy as she twirled in front of the changing room mirror. She looked amazing in the beautiful strapless black dress she wore, it looked simple and hugged her figure in all the right places.She opened the curtain and walked out in confident strides. She stood about two feet apart from the sales assistant who was holding two extra clothes for her and the lady’s stunned expression was all the confirmation she needed.She flipped her curly hair and smiled at the sales assistant.“How do I look?” Ruby asked and slowly tailed so the lady could see the dress in all its glory.“You look amazing! I guarantee that when your husband sees you in this he won’t be able to take his eyes and hands off you.” The lady replied excitedly and Ruby laughed as she thought about Jaxon complimenting her.“I’ll take it and the other two, I don’t have to try them on.” The sales assistant nooses and Ruby walked back into the stall to change back into her black cargo pants and white cropped top.The s
Jaxon looked bored as he listened to the man who stood in front of the board that the project proposal was being displayed on.He felt like he would be happier being anywhere else but in the conference room at that moment, as the project didn’t pique his interest.Their offer had a lot of loopholes and he didn’t see any way it would benefit his company. They were asking for a higher price than what the project is actually worth and the partnership would not profit his company in any way or form.His phone started vibrating on the table and he picked it up. He felt apprehensive to pick up the call but knew better than to ignore Ruslan as he only calls regarding important matters.But then again he didn’t send him to carry out any important tasks today so why was he calling when he knew he was in a meeting?“What is it?” Jaxon asked coldly as he wasn’t really in the mood to beat around the bush. He was already annoyed at the fact that he wasted his morning listening to the crappy prese
Chapter 68“I'm helping him.” Ruby stammered."Ruby, the doctor will handle it and Lucas will be fine." Jaxon told her but Ruby wouldn't believe him. She glanced at Lucas who was currently clutching his left arm and groaning in pain. Blood had soaked his shirt and the veins on his head were prominent because of how hard he gritted his teeth."Jaxon let me go," she muttered as she continued to stare at Lucas. Jaxon had stopped her from giving Lucas first aid even though he clearly needed it."No.""Yes! Can't you see he's in pain? He needs our help," she yelled."Then we'll wait for the doctor.""We can't wait Jaxon, Lucas is already losing a lot of blood, don't you see?" She shook herself out of his grasp and went to Lucas's side."Ruby," Jaxon called in a warning tone but she ignored him. All her attention was on the man who had risked his life to save hers."Ruslan, call the doctor and tell him to hurry up." Jaxon ordered. But just before Ruslan left to make the call, Ruby stopped h
