Chapter 19

It's been two days now, but Ruby and remained indoors as she didn't even have the mind to step out of her place.

Out of fear, anxiety, and discomfort.

She felt out of place already and did not want to hear any more negative comments about her.

“Oh no,” Ruby grumbled in a low voice as she squeezed her eyes shut sucking in a deep breath. She was out of foodstuffs.

She walked over to her fridge and it was completely empty as well. There was just a bottle of water inside.

“Can my day get any worse!?” She asked herself as she bit her lips hard. She guessed she'd have to leave the house. Even if that was the last thing she wanted to do.

Still no news from Jaxon and no reply from Ophelia either. Though she made sure to send apology texts every day. She already called Jaxon, no response.

She had a quick shower and discovered that her whole house was equally empty, get bathing soap was almost finished, and her bathroom looked empty.

The only thing that was abundant was the toothpas

Do you want to talk about how you've ruined my life completely?” She yelled in anger as she glared at him.“Come inside” he sighed ru

    Chapter 21Ruby arrived home that day and felt more relieved than the past few days.Jaxon's driver had dropped her off and that made her avoid any unnecessary troubles.She also collected a few foodstuffs from his kitchen which she had used to feed in the evening.She just retired to bed when she was abruptly woken up by a sound.She mumbled softly as she yawned sitting up from the bed, wondering where the sound must have come from.It was the sounds of incoming footsteps.She quickly climbed off the bed and turned on the torchlight of her phone and she walked slowly to the window to check what it was.It was just a man dressed in black and it didn't bother too much as her neighbors were fond of loitering around.That was one disadvantage of living in a busy neighborhood.She yawned and went back to bed, using the bed cover to cover herself, she was about to drift back to sleep when the sound of shattering glasses was heard.“Ha!!” Ruby yelled in fright. It was her window that shatte

    Chapter 22“Jesus!!!” Ruby screamed as the door of her room suddenly burst open with a loud bang.“Jaxon, where are you?” She cried helplessly, her whole body was, her clothes completely wet from sweating.“Please don't come close..” she muttered repeatedly to herself as she heard some footsteps.Before her down was broken down, she heard some commotion in the sitting room, the sounds of men grunting and fighting. She had no idea what it was and was even too scared to step outside.“Please don't come close..”She shuddered silently. Whoever was in her room was fast approaching and she could see his black boots from the little hole.“Don't…” her voice trailed off and she buried her head down. The person was already standing in front of her wardrobe and he suddenly opened the door without any effort.Ruby didn't even dare to raise her head as she wept. “Ruby,” The person called her, it was Jaxon.“You can come out now, I'm here now..” his voice was low and coaxing as she squatted in fro

    Chapter 23Jaxon carefully dropped Ruby on the bed as he checked her pulse yet again. She was burning.He held this frustrated look on his face as he had no idea about what to do in the situation that he was in.He had not really taken care of anyone in his life, he was an only child, with no siblings.He didn't even know what was wrong with her or why she was burning. The only reasonable logic he could come up with as an educated person was that she might be having a fever.But yet, how would he know how to deal with fever patients?“Ruby..” he shook her body gently as her eyes fluttered.“Ruby!” He called, she was awake.“Ruby, come on open your eyes” He tapped get face gently, trying to wake her up.“Are you okay?” He questioned, knowing that was a very stupid question to ask.She did not look fine.“My head hurts,” Ruby replied, her voice very low.She suddenly felt weak on their way and she couldn't even move her limb.Jaxon's face paled as he saw Ruby's condition.

    CHAPTER 24Ruby woke up the next morning, feeling a slight headache.She groaned as her eyes fluttered open, everything that happened last night coming back to her.She was attacked but Jaxon came to her rescue and brought her back to his place.She remembered having a fever and then he tended to her wounds and also to her.Ruby's brows furrowed in confusion as that was too true to believe. She actually felt that was a dream because it was so unusual for Jaxon to care for someone, especially not her.She slowly sat up from the bed and she noticed that her legs were covered in bandages. She felt a lot more better and safe than last night.Then she noticed something usual, her whole body was clean and she was wearing a completely different set of clothes. Make clothes to be precise.“Oh my Goodness!” She gasped, as she examined herself. She cracked her head trying to remember the time when Jaxon was undressing her, but there was no memory of that, she did not remember him undressing her

    Chapter 25Ruby just stood in confusion, not even knowing what to do next, in the big and empty house.He didn't even tell her who Nana was and just left.She decided to stay in the sitting room and waited for the so-called Nana.Ruby sat on one of the chairs as she waited patiently for Nana to knock on the door when she was getting tired of waiting, she decided to go through the phone that Jaxon had bought for her.She dialed Ophelia's number and as usual, she didn't pick up. So Ruby just sent a text as always.She decided to check the trending news, to see if there was anything about her. But to her surprise, there was nothing.It was like everything was deleted, her mind reeled and the only person she could point it out to was Jaxon. It was probably his doing.Her eyes were still glued to the phone when she suddenly heard a warm and cheerful voice fill the space. "Welcome home!" it said. Ruby's head jerked up in surprise, and she looked around, wondering who was speaking to her. B

    Chapter 26 A car stopped in front of Paragon Group as Ruby stepped out of the car. “Is this the place?” She asked the driver. “Yes ma” he replied. Ruby watched as the driver drove off, before turning back to face the big company that supposedly belonged to her husband. She really didn't want to come, but Nana nana made sure to force her and there was no way she could resist her. She held the lunch box tighter as she walked into the company. Ruby found herself taken aback by the elegance of the reception area. The walls were adorned with tasteful art pieces, the furniture sleek and modern. Everything exuded an air of sophistication and refinement that Ruby couldn't help but admire. She slowly took in the space, noting the elegant marble flooring, the floor-to-ceiling windows that let in the natural light. The whole place was like something out of a magazine, a testament to the power and prestige of the company. There were not much people around and she didn't even know wher

They were nothing but desperate fools. He thought to himself.“I'm out of here, excuse me” she uttered as she walked out of the office, leaving a speechless Jaxon.Ruby left the company in anger and when she got outside, she realized that the driver had already left.“Damn it! Who asked him to leave?” She smacked her lips as she ran her hands through her hair in anger.The next alternative now was to use a taxi. Though going with the driver would be much better.She stood for a long time, but no taxi had passed by yet.She immediately guessed that it would be hard before she could find one around, so she decided to book an Uber.She decided to cross to the other side of th

    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 and Jaxon entered the doctor's office hand-in-hand, their anticipation was not hidden as they waited for the moment when they would learn the gender of their unborn child. 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
