Chapter seven

Ruby walked amongst the group of people as she walked to the bathroom. She needed time to breathe, she clearly did not fit in the world of the rich.

She was about to get to the bathroom when she accidentally bumped into someone and the person’s drink spilled all over her.

“Oh my gosh!” Ruby exclaimed as she looked at her dress which had been completely ruined and stained with red wine.

“Oh no, this dress was hella expensive!” She muttered as she bit her lips in frustration. How was she going to explain to Jaxon that she ruined the dress he had gotten for her because she was not looking???

“I’m so sorry miss, I really am sorry” The lady who had accidentally spilled the drink on her apologized.

Ruby froze as all the hairs on her body stood. That voice!!! Even if she was sleeping, there was no way she would not recognize the voice. It was Ophelia. Her best friend!! she was at the party, but how? Ophelia never mentioned that she was attending any party.

    Chapter Eight Ruby didn't utter a word while she was inside the car with Jaxon, even as the driver drove off.She could tell that he was really pissed but how was any of it her fault.Just when she thought that he was not going to scold her, his voice thundered in the car.“What was that shit that you displayed???” He asked, his eyes blazing with anger as she glared at Ruby.“I'm sorry..” she apologized in a low voice.“Sorry for your damn self!” He snapped at her.“Now tell me why you pulled that stunt, have you gone mad??” He questioned.“What was I supposed to do? Your rules clearly state that no one should know about our marriage and that lady was my best friend. How was I going to explain myself to her?” Ruby pointed out defending herself but Jaxon was not taking any of that.“Is that the reason you disgraced me? You were sitting on the ground in front of a lot of people. My wife” He scoffed in sarcasm.“She was so intent on talking to me, she also called me a thief, I feel beca

What's she doing here?” She asked herself, as she slowly sat up from the ground.She was so exhausted that she slept off on the couch.After walking miles last night, she finally found a taxi and the first thing she did was freshen up and then she fell asleep.Jaxon was a real demon that needed to be avoided and she prayed that he never called her again.“Ruby??” Ophelia called again, as she was sure that her friend was inside.“I'm coming” Ruby replied as she stood up from the ground in a flash.“Just a minute “ she added walkin

    Chapter 10Jaxon barged into his assistant and best friend, Damon's office without knocking. He immediately regretted doing so.“Eww” his face scrunched up in disgust, as the lady who was in between Damon's legs, immediately moved away from him covering her face.“Seriously dude” Damon groaned, buttoning up his pants, the lady stood up from the ground as she dashed out of the office the next minute.“You should have at least knocked” Damon rolled his eyes as Jaxon sat on the chair opposite his friend.“And you should know the right place to bring whores to, not an office!” Jaxon fired at him.“Trust me, man. Doing it in the office just hits different” Damon smiled as Jaxon scoffed inwardly.“And you should do that sometime, I can arrange someone for you” he winked at Jaxon who frowned.“Shut up!!” He snapped at him.“Did you manage to stop my old man from coming?” He questioned about the reason why he had come to Damon's office in the first place.“Yes I did” “Your grandfather is not

She had not gotten the chance to go visit her sister since she paid the bills as there had been a lot of things she was dealing with. She decided to take the call as her sister's health was more important than anything. “Hey Cheryl…..” She muttered after picking up the call. “I see you've decided to ghost everyone now you’ve paid your sister's bill” Those were Cheryl's first words the moment she heard Ruby’s voice. “I’m sorry, I've been caught up with a lot of things, how’s Kimberly doing?” she questioned. “I bring good and bad news,” Cheryl said, instead of answering Ruby's question. “What good news and bad news?” Ruby grilled as her heart raced.

She needed a lot of rest as she planned to go to the hospital that next day.Just when she had freshened up and had her dinner, her phone rang.She groaned, picking the phone up in frustration.She frowned, on seeing an unknown number on the screen.She knew that it was not Jaxon, she had saved that number he used to call her, in case he called again.But who knew if he was the one, he had not even called since the day he threw her out of his car.She decided to pick the call up to see who it was.“Hello..” she muttered in a low voice, holding the phone to her ear.“Hi, Ruby it's me,” the person said and she immediately recognized the voice.It was Kevin. She literally forgot she gave him her number.“Hi Kevin, how are you doing?” She asked feeling more relaxed as she walked over to her fridge to get a glass of juice.On the other end of the line, Kevin chuckled, his voice warm and friendly. “I’m doing great, t

    Chapter 13A taxi dropped Ruby in front of a restaurant, as he drove off.She stood in front of the building in confusion as she looked at the address Kevin had sent to her and the restaurant.Confusion was written all over her face as she kept glancing from her phone to the building.Thinking maybe she was in the wrong place.But Kevin's address wouldn't be wrong though.This was a very expensive restaurant, with emphasis on the word expensive.She has tried getting a job here, but they wouldn't even give it to her, saying that she wasn't qualified.They were so picky with the workers, that's how big and expensive the restaurant was.She was still lost in her thoughts when Kevin suddenly came from behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders.“You're here,” he said.“Oh my God!” Ruby exclaimed, shifting away from him as he totally took her by surprise.“Sorry if I startled you” he apologized.Ruby’s heart was pounding in her chest as she recovered from the shock of Kevin’s sudden

    Chapter 14Ruby's hands began to shake as she placed her glass of champagne on the table, fighting the urge to flee. Jaxon's presence in the restaurant was unnerving, his calm demeanor belied by the malice in his eyes.She kept in gulping down for a time as she watched Jaxon take a sit at a table not too far from where she sat with Kevin.“Are you alright?” Kevin asked, sensing her uneasiness. “Yes, yes, yes I'm fine..” Ruby stuttered, forcing out a laugh as she put a mouthful of Escargot in her mouth as she chewed quickly and nervously.What did hell was Jaxon doing in the restaurant?? At least get wasn't making trouble, she was sure he wouldn't approach her as he did not want to be seen with her, but she still felt uneasy.Jaxon sat at his table, his gaze never straying from Ruby. He sipped at his drink, watching her with predatory intent. He knew that she was aware of his presence, and could feel the fear radiating off of her. It pleased him.Ruby tried her best to maintain her c

He finally came.“Let me go” she grunted, wriggling her wrist out of his hold.“What did you want with me?” She asked as she wanted to leave his presence as soon as possible.“What were you doing with that man?” He grilled instead as Ruby scoffed inwardly. How was that his business if she was with someone?“And how's that any of your concern?” He retorted with furrowed brows.“We're only married by papers, how I live my life and how I want to live it is none of your business!” She fired at him as she felt he had no right to ask about Kevin.“I see..” Jaxon muttered nodded his head slowly.She still hadn't learned her lesson and still spoke to him very rudely.That was what he hated about her the most.“Can I go now?” Ruby questioned wanting to leave.“No!” Jaxon snapped at her.“You're still yet to answer my question” he pointed out in a cold voice, as Ruby stepped away from him because he was standing too close t

    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
