Chapter 39

It’s been three days since Ruby’s visit to the hospital and her sister was going to be discharged soon.

Ruby felt more than happy as it seemed like everything in her life was falling back into place.

Even her relationship with Jaxon was far better than before. Though he was still cold to her most of the time, she felt that he had loosened up a bit.

He bought an electric cooker for her to make her own meals, and during the few times he made him, he always made sure to keep a portion for her.

Ruby had just finished freshening up for the evening when she decided to go back downstairs, it was already past seven.

She arrived downstairs and saw Jaxon sitting in his usual spot, the only difference this time was that there was no laptop in front of him, just a bottle of drink that was already gone halfway.

“Hey,” she waved at him as she stepped closer to him.

Jaxon lifted his head from the cup as he looked at her briefly before looking away from her.

“Is everything okay?” Ruby aske

She quickly wiped off her tears and cleared her throat as she picked up the call.“Hi Nana, good evening. How are you doing?” Ruby asked, sounding to should jovial.“I’m good dear. And you?” Nana asked.“I’m fine” Ruby replied.“That’s good to know my dear. I’m actually calling you to inform you of something very crucial..” she began in a low tone as Ruby's brows furrowed. She hoped it was not to go meet Jaxon because she was definitely not going to do that!“Is there anything you need?

No doubt it would be Ruby.He scoffed as his eyes met hers, she really has the guts to come back here he thought to himself. She was asking for death and it seemed like she would get that if care was not taken.“What…”“Don’t bother driving me out, because I won’t leave” Ruby interrupted just when he was about to speak.Her eyes scanned the room that was dimly lit. It was the first time she was coming into Jaxon’s room and it screamed of Jaxon. The black curtains, the black bedsheets.

This time, she didn't resist as she missed him with all she got. His touch was electric, his kiss sending a wave of desire through her body.Jaxon deepened the kiss, his arms tightening around her waist as he pressed her body flush against his.

He turned his head to look at the table clock on top of the drawer near his bedside. It was almost 8.He looked around the room before looking at the woman who was curled up beside him. Sleeping so soundly.“So peaceful” he murmured as he found himself watching her sleep. She looked so peaceful.He looked at the time yet again and calculated the number of hours that he slept. 10 hours. He had never slept that long in his life, except when he was a baby of course.Jaxon carefully got out of bed as he did not want to wake her up. He was late for work.Striding to the shower, he had his bath, before stepping out. Ruby was still sleeping.He took a glance at her, before walking into the closet to dress up.Dressed in a three-piece suit, Jaxon is all set to leave.

    Chapter 45It's been two days since Ruby had a sex dream about Jaxon and calming down had been a big problem for herShe did all she could to avoid him and make sure they didn't share physical contact whatsoever and strangely, Jaxon seemed to give her that space.He ignored her as well.She'd tried her best to keep her distance, avoiding him whenever possible, but living in the same house, it was impossible to completely disappear. And even when they were apart, he was never far from her thoughts.Ruby couldn't help but wonder if he'd felt the same electricity between them.“Damn it!” She cursed, feeling the cold water on her skin.

    Chapter 46Ruby still had that flustered look on her face as she hastily got dressed. What was she even thinking!!! She should never have agreed to touch herself in the bathroom and why did Jaxon just barge into her room? He could have at least knocked, not walked up to the bathroom to call her.As she walked out of her room, she prayed silently that he didn’t hear her moan or anything. She felt very shy to appear before him. Why was she even shy? It was her body to begin with.“Oh fuck” Ruby cursed loudly. It was so embarrassing for her.She arrived downstairs to see Jaxon drinking tea.“Where last did you put the key?” She questioned going straight to the point as she just wanted to find the key and end up back upstairs.“No need. Found them” he replied in a calm voice as the corner of his lips curled out.“Are you kidding me!!?” Ruby exclaimed in horror. He found them!!! And look at how he was saying it so casually, like it was no big deal.“No, I found them already” he replied, pi

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

    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

    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
