Chapter 76Ruby had gone back to her room after Jaxon left. Her mind drifted to Jaxon but she brushed it off, wanting to go to sleep. Just then, she heard the heavy thud of footsteps outside.She groaned not wanting to see Jaxon. She didn't think he would come back so early and was surprised he had come to see her. With a tired sigh, she dragged herself from the bed and shuffled towards the door that was half broken. It was still hanging on a loose screw.She opened it, mentally preparing herself for whatever Jaxon wanted to say. Except Jaxon wasn't there because he hadn't come back yet.Ruslan stood in front of her door, looking every bit the intimidating bodyguard he was. "Is something wrong?" She mumbled as she stared up at him."No, nothing. I just wanted to bring you your shopping bags. I hadn't been able to find the right moment to give them to you but this time seemed fitting." He explained. That was when her eyes traveled to the multiple white coloured bags at Ruslan's feet.
Chapter 77Jaxon didn't move from his spot as he continued to hug her. Ruby didn't either as she just let him because she didn't want to push him away from her.She closed her eyes and enjoyed his gentle petting. His hands were tangled in her hair and she liked the way he drew his fingers through it like a comb."It's okay." He whispered as he tried to comfort her, even if he didn't know what she needed comforting from. Her emotions were all over the place so she asked a question she normally wouldn't have had the nerve to ask."Jaxon, do you care about me?" She said and all his petting seized. She turned to look at him and found him staring at her with evident surprise."Or do you pity me because I'm pathetic?" She added. She wiped her eyes with the front of her shirt while waiting patiently for his answer."Do you think I'm pathetic and weak? Finding me here on the floor crying my eyes out isn't what you usually deal with huh," Ruby rattled off like a drunk while tears rolled down
Chapter 78Jaxon froze for a moment as he felt Ruby’s soft lips pressed to his. She slowly started moving her lips against his and he felt mesmerized by the softness of her lips and how her body pressed into his.Jaxon started kissing her back passionately and Ruby moaned as she wrapped her arms around his neck.Their tongues engaged in a passionate dance as they sucked each other’s mouth like animals in a frenzy.Ruby moaned softly as Jaxon groaned into the kiss and started to grab her ass and grind into her.She felt euphoric and slightly out of breath but she didn’t want to pull away. It was too good and she didn’t want to miss even a second of it.Jaxon gently pulled away and joined their foreheads together as they caught their breath. He stared at her flushed cheeks and moist lips and before he could control himself Jaxon leaned down and started to devour Ruby with his tongue.He started running his hands all over her body as they kissed and Ruby felt like her head was about to
Ruby was woken by the sun's rays streaming through the window. She turned several times before she finally opened her eyes. She stretched happily and turned only to see that she was alone in the bed.Her cheeks grew hotter as the images of all that transpired the previous night started replaying like a movie in her mind.She grabbed a pillow and shoved her face into it as she screamed. She brought it down and patted her flaming cheeks.“Did that really happen last night?” She thought aloud and squealed like a teenage girl that just been complimented by her crush.She hugged the pillow tightly as she remembered the sweet words that Jaxon whispered to her.“He cares about me. Does that mean he is beginning to love me!” She felt giddy as she talked to herself.She hurriedly got down from the bed and went to take a warm bath. She prepared a rose scented bath for herself and soaked for about fifteen minutes before she patted her skin dry and applied her moisturizer.She hurriedly applied h
Chapter 80Ruby stared at June, surprised to see her there."What are you doing here? She blurted out. Jaxon had not told her he was meeting her that day. But why would he? June only glanced at her with an irritated expression before saying,"Shouldn't I be asking you that? You don't exactly have a place here." June spat with venom. She was looking at Ruby like she was the filth beneath her shoes. Ruby's eyebrows shot up in shock. Wasn't this the same June who acted so sweet and docile when Jaxon was around? But now, she revealed her claws and showed how nasty she could be.Gone were the innocent doe eyes and gentle expression. They had been replaced by angered eyes and a spiteful expression. She has even had Ruby fooled with her convincing act. Ruby looked at June confused and wondered why June was staring at her like she had done something seriously wrong to her.She has always had that look in her eyes but this time, it was different. More hateful."What does Jaxon even see in yo
Chapter 81Jaxon stared at her with a cool expression but she had glimpsed the initial shock that had flashed in his eyes when she asked."Well?" She pressed, then sighed. She closed her eyes and willed courage into herself before opening them again. Here goes nothing."Since you are not willing to talk then I will. What I want to say is that this has been eating me up for a really long time and I have tried to fight it but to no avail. The thing is that... I like you Jaxon. I like you a lot. I don't know how or when it started but what I feel for you is strong." She paused, her voice cracking as she spoke. She had not planned on pouring her heart out to him today."You know, sometimes I feel that you feel the same way too with the way you touch and kiss me and... Then other times you're so cold. It's like I don't know you anymore and it rips my heart into shreds anytime you get that way. It makes me question if all the things you had told me and done were a lie." She choked out."Do
“Where are we going?” Ruby asked in a hushed tone after they walked away from a fuming June.She was really impressed with the look on her face.“Okay let’s go get you a ring.” Jaxon said and Ruby’s eyes widened in surprise as she stared at him like he just grew an extra head.“Why do you want to get it now?” she glared at him.“Why are you looking at me like that? Let’s go.” Jaxon smirked instead.“I just asked you a question Jaxon. Why do you want to get it now?” Ruby tilted her head to the side and Jaxon replied with a mischievous smile, he shook his head with an impatient look on his face and picked her up bridal style.Ruby gasped as she wrapped her hands around his neck. Her cheeks heated up as they passed the workers on their way out and she pinched Jaxon’s chest in annoyance as he stopped to answer their greetings.He groaned and glared down at her.“Stop making this even more embarrassing for me and walk faster.” Ruby groaned as she shyly hid her face in his chest.Jaxon felt
Jaxon walked out of the store and stood by the side of his car as he picked up the call and brought the phone to his ear.“I hope you have called to give me some good news and not excuses.” Jaxon said dryly and Mikhail chuckled from the other side.“Good day to you too Jaxon. How’s your beautiful wife doing?” Mikhail asked and Jaxon felt his jaw clenched in annoyance.“Get straight to the point and never talk about my wife again.” Jaxon said in a threatening voice and Mikhail laughed.“Relax, I called you with good news Jaxon.” Jaxon could hear the smile on his voice and he hoped it was what he was thinking.“Stop playing around and tell me. I don’t have all the time in the world, Mikhail.” Jaxon said coldly.“Your wife and sister-in-law are safe now.” Jaxon smiled in relief.“Tell me exactly how you did it. What happened?” Jaxon asked and Mikhail smirked as he took a sip from the glass of wine he was holding.“It’s all thanks to me, of course. I had a meeting with Nikolai and I manag
