Chapter 38“Welcome boss” Jaxon's right hand man said to him as he walked into his warehouse.“Where's the bastard?” Jaxon asked as he collected a gun from Trent. His right hand man.Trent handed Jaxon the gun with a stoic expression. "He's in the holding room, boss," he informed, pointing towards a heavy, metal door at the far end of the warehouse. "Two men are guarding him."Jaxon nodded, his grip tightening around the gun. "Good," he growled, a dangerous glint in his eye. "I've waited a long time for this."Let's go," he ordered, his shoes thudding against the concrete floor as he stalked towards the door. "I want to look him in the eye when I pull the trigger.” he scoffed as they soon arrived at the door.“And the lady?” He turned to Trent inquiring about Vanessa.“She's in there as well” Trent replied as Jaxon nodded his head slowly, with an evil smirk on his face.Jaxon's expression hardened as he heard Vanessa's name, a sinister smile curling his lips. "Oh, she's in there to
Chapter 39It’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
Chapter 40Ruby was still in shock at what just happened, she found it impossible to believe. She tried to remember if there was anything she’d done to him to make him so angry, but there was none she could even think of.She was literally in tears as she cleaned off the mess that Jaxon made.She was already done with cleaning when she heard her phone ring.Her eyes widened in surprise as she was the caller.It was Nana.Ruby’s eyes widened in surprise as she wondered why she was calling at that hour. 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?
Chapter 41Ruby stood by the door as she silently watched him. He looked so calm as he drank his sorrows away.She suddenly began to feel pity towards him as she wondered what he might be going through.Taking in a deep breath, she took a bold step as she walked into the room.Jaxon noticed someone walking in as he lifted his head to see who it was. 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. It actually seemed like everything in his life was dark.She looked around the room as her eyes finally landed on a glass, that was what she was trying to f
Chapter 42Ruby was utterly stunned that she actually took the initiative to kiss Jaxon when he was wide awake.She didn't regret it one bit, because his lips tasted so good.They just pecked lips as he was probably stunned at her sudden movement.“I'm so sorry..” Ruby began to apologize as she quickly moved her lips away from his.But just before she could step away, Jaxon yanked her by her waist as he moved her closer and he slammed his lips on hers.Ruby gasped as Jaxon pulled her close, his lips crashing against hers with a passion that took her breath away. 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. His tongue teased hers, exploring her mouth with a fierce intensity that left her breathless.This was not Ruby's first kiss, she had shared a kiss with her damned Ex before, but this
Chapter 43Waking up beside Ruby, the sunrise was already starting to set.“Damn it!” Jaxon cursed as he slowly sat up from the bed. He overslept. 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. Ruby was still asleep.He walked over to the bed and he stared at her, his eyes d
Chapter 44Ruby had just finished having lunch and was about to head back upstairs when the doors opened and Jaxon walked in.“Jaxon, you're back” she mouthed in surprise. He came back so early.She was about to ask if everything when fine, when he suddenly slammed his lips on hers.Ruby opened her eyes wide in surprise as she wondered what was going on.But then, she wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him back.Ruby's heart pounded in her chest as Jaxon's lips devoured hers, their bodies pressed close together in a passionate embrace. The surprise of his sudden kiss had quickly given way to a deep, undeniable desire, the flames of which had been simmering between them for months.As their kiss intensified, Ruby's thoughts scattered like leaves in the wind, the only thing that mattered at this moment was the feel of Jaxon's hands on her body, the taste of him on her tongue.He pushed her back till they both fell on the couch, with Jaxon on top of her.The kiss broke off as
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. She was in the bathroom, having her bath.Taking if Jaxon, began to resurface those desires and she began to wish he was in the bathtub with her.Then suddenly, Ophelia's voice rang in her head.What if touching herself would actually help her forget him?The thought of Jaxon joining her in the bathtub sent a wave of heat through Ruby's body, and she sank
