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

    Chapter 69"Jaxon, what is it?" Ruby asked as he pulled her up the stairs. Jaxon didn't respond but he did urge her to walk faster."Jaxon, I'm going to fall. We're going too fast." She told him. She thought he had come to his senses when he slowed down but she suddenly found herself against a pillar in the hallway. Jaxon had both his hands at the sides of her head. He gazed down at her so intensely that Ruby thought he was going to kiss her."... Jaxon?" She called out when he didn't say anything."I don't want you doing what you did down there again." He told her."Doing what? You mean helping Lucas?" She asked, confused. Jaxon shut his eyes in frustration then opened them to meet her eyes."No, not that. I'm glad you helped Lucas and I apologize for arguing with you." He replied. "Then what?""Don't make me say it," he sighed but she pressed on."Jaxon," she drawled his name and he gave in."I didn't like you excessively touching him. It wasn't necessary." He clarified after a mom

Jaxon thought.Ruby looked at him with a horrified expression and he knew she had overheard his conversation.She had a very bad dream and after waking up to an empty bed she felt scared. She had run out of the room and went out in search of Jaxon when she heard his voice coming from the dimly lit office.She grabbed the door handle and was about to walk in when she heard Jaxon speaking to someone on the phone but what caught her attention was when she heard her sister's name being mentioned.Why was Jaxon talking about her sister?

    Chapter 72Kimberly paced back and forth in her room conflicted on what to do. She sat on her bed and thought for a moment. Should she call Damon to meet up or was it too soon. When she had collected his card, she had made the effort not to call him that same day even though she wanted to so badly. She'd been euphoric that the first part of her plan had gone smoothly but she didn't want to get ahead of herself. She didn't want to seem desperate so she held off on calling him. Until now.It had only been a little over a week so she felt it was a sufficient time to carry out the next phase of her plan. Her mind flashed to her sister who had gotten all these with ease and she sneered.Ruby had gotten herself a good looking rich man without even trying. And to top it off, he was the richest of the richest. Why didn't she meet Jaxon before Ruby anyway? If he had met her first she was 100% sure that he would have fallen for her.But it doesn't matter, she would get her own rich husband

    Chapter 73The taxi Kim took pulled up in front of the exquisite five-star hotel Damon had booked. She stared at the building in awe before looking at the surroundings. The guards and other employees she had met so far were nice. And an air of superiority came over her as they addressed her as ma'am and asked her if she needed anything.She pulled out her phone and dialed Damon's number. This time around, he picked up on the second ring."I don't see you," she said, then glanced around to make sure she had gotten a proper look. Earlier, he had called and told her he would be waiting at the lobby and that she shouldn't bother going straight up to the room he booked."I meant private lobby. I'll come out now, just sit somewhere while you wait." Damon told her then ended the call. She perched in the nearest seat while trying to control her nerves. She pulled her dress which had ridden up down her thighs and glanced around the room to see if Damon had come. He hadn't.Her foot tapped aga

    Ruby slowly opened the door to her room and peeped through the small gap before completely walking out.She made sure that there was no sign of movement and tiptoed through the hallway. Just as she got to the stairs she saw Jaxon making his way up and the moment their eyes met, she gasped and made a dash to her room.Jaxon glared at her retreating back as she ran and not long he heard a loud bang and the sound of the lock.He shook his head and continued his journey to his room.Ruby has been hiding away in her room since the night she had an argument with Jaxon and has also been avoiding him like the plague.Jaxon didn’t feel bothered by this as he was also still angry about what transpired that night and wanted nothing to do with her for the time being, he felt glad that she was sensible enough to stay off his path.Ruby felt like a child playing hide and seek whenever she sneaked downstairs to fetch her food or snacks from the kitchen.It was lunch time now and Ruby was starving.

    Jaxon closed the file and turned to face June with annoyance clear on his face.“What was that about?” Jaxon asked.June shrugged her shoulders and smiled sweetly at him. Jaxon sighed and released his arm from her grip. “What do you mean?” June innocently blinked her eyes, and started running her hands on his arm.“Stop with the inappropriate touching before I lose my temper June. Focus on the work that brought you here and put some space between us please.” Jaxon said coldly and passed the file to her. June felt displeased as she collected the file and dropped it beside her bag. “I’ve gone through your proposal and it’s really nice. My assistant will reach out to you within the week and schedule another meeting.” Jaxon stood up to leave and she immediately held onto his hands. “Why are you in a hurry to leave?” June pouted her lips and ran her hands over his chest.“Won’t you offer me something to drink? That’s cold even for you Jaxon.” She sensually pushed her boobs to his chest

    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

    "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

    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

Ruby was vibrating with excitement and she felt like she couldn’t stand still anymore.Jaxon was no different but he was doing a great job concealing his excitement as he stared at his smiling wife.The doctor greeted them with a smile. She guided them to the exam table and started arranging the equipment for the ultrasound.“Please lay down on the bed Ruby and lift up your shirt.” Jaxon helped her to gently lay down and lifted her beautiful maternity gown. He smiled down at her and sat beside her.Ruby excitedly squeezed his hand that was in hers and Jaxon placed a soft kiss on her forehead in return. The female doctor smiled at their interaction. She could feel the love rolling off them in waves and she felt happy for them."Are you ready to find out the gender?" the doctor asked, a hint of excitement in her

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

    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
