Killing My Ex-Lover Chapter 38
Chase HudsonA stab of frustration gnawed at the corners of my mind as Ruby stormed out of the living room, her demeanor as cold as ever. For a split second it had felt like she had let her guard down, that she had let herself get comfortable with her surroundings. But as soon as she noticed my presence, her relax demeanor replaced once more by the impenetrable wall of mistrust and suspicion that she had built around herself.I sighed heavily, feeling as though she were trying to avoid me at all costs.With a weary shake of my head, I loose the tie around my neck and headed to my study. The smell of mahogany and leather enveloped me like a warm embrace, and I settled into the plush armchair behind my desk. Pouring myself a generous measure of whiskey, I took a sip and let the fiery liquid burn its way down my throat, the warmth spreading through me like a warm blanket against the chilly air.As I settled into the comfort of solitude, I reached for my phone and dialed the number of my

Ruby"That son of a bitch!"The door slammed shut behind me with a resounding thud, the sound reverberating through the empty hallway like a thunderclap in the midst of a storm. Anger boiled within me like a tempest raging in the depths of my soul, threatening to consume me whole with its fiery intensity.I pace back and forth across the room, my mind swirling with a whirlwind of emotions. Anger, frustration, betrayal – they all swirl together in a tangled mess, threatening to overwhelm me like a tidal wave crashing against the shore.But amidst the chaos of my thoughts, there's something else, something I can't quite put my finger on. It's a strange sensation, like a fluttering in my chest, a quickening of my pulse that I can't quite explain. But I push it aside, dismissing it as nothing more than the remnants of the adrenaline rush from our fight in the kitchen. I take a deep breath, trying to calm the storm raging within me. I can't let Chase get to me, can't let his accusations an

Olivia Carol White.That name had died along with my souls.My friends think I'm dead, my parents think I’m dead. So basically everyone I knew thinks I was dead.The truth is, I'm still perfectly alive.The sound of a gunshot rings my ear, I snapped back to reality. "Why do you always do that?!" I turned around and glared at my partner. I was supposed to shot him first but he beat me to it. He looked at me innocently."I thought you needed a backup." I rolled my eyes and continue my walk. I loaded my gun and hid behind the wall. I looked at Drake my partner who walked past me and shoot the men with ease. I looked at him in disbelief."Ever heard of patience?" He turns to me and smirked. Ignoring his smirk, I quickly find the men that we have been assigned to kill."Matthew! Where is he?!" I yelled at Matthew, the tech guy over my earpiece. "Keep walking then turns left; when you see a metal door, you're at the right

"Finally home!" Drake said once we got inside our house. I rolled my eyes at his childishness. Austin turned his head and looked at us while sitting on the couch. "Hey guys, how’s the mission?"Drake walked to the couch and plopped himself on it. "Easy as usual." I scoffed and went to the kitchen to make some drinks. Taking out a can of soda, I walked back to the living room and settled myself on the couch."Where’s Matthew?" I asked. Austin raised his brows at me. "Why?""I need to have a word with him." Austin leans forward, resting his elbow at his knees while narrowing his eyes at me. "You were going to admit your feeling to him?" I threw the pillow that is next to me and aim it at his face.Austin and drake only laughed seeing my reaction. "You guys are such an asshole." I got up and decided to head to my room to take a nice warm shower. "Hey, where are you going?""To infinity and beyond," I said to Austin. He chuckled hearing my

"Wake up Ruby!!" Someone banging my door. I groan loudly. "Shut up!""We have to go remember!" My eyes shot up glaring at the ceiling who did nothing wrong. "I'll be downstairs in a minute!" I sighed as I hear Drake's footsteps walking away. I rubbed my face and eventually get up. Talking a quick shower, I head to my closet to get dress. I settled myself with a white tank top, black ripped jeans, a black leather jacket, and black heels boots.What can I say? I come to love black.I took my gun inside the drawer and tuck it at my back. Same with the knives, the first one, I hide it inside my boots. The second one, I hide inside my jacket. I brush my hair and let it loose freely till it reaches my waist. Grabbing my phone from the bedside table, I head downstairs making my way to the kitchen.There I found Emily behind the stove cooking breakfast. Drake, Matthew, and Blake are seated eating breakfast."Took you long enough!" Drake dramatically said.

"Hey calm down Ruby," Drake assured me once we were out from his office. "I can’t okay! He’s the one who wants him dead but he doesn’t have any idea of his location. I mean Benjamin Castro could probably be in Mexico sipping tequila but we can’t go there. There are guards everywhere. Going there to kill him is like a suicide mission and he should at least give us an idea or something!" I ran my fingers to my hair feeling frustrated."I know we’ll figure it out.""Of course we will or not we’ll be dead too." I snapped.Drake and I drove back home and start figuring out Benjamin's location. I quickly head to my room and plopped on my bed. Getting up, I changed my outfit into comfortable ones. Taking out my laptop, I lean to the headboard of my bed and start searching about Benjamin Castro.I don’t know how long I sat in the bed searching for his location. All I know is once I looked to the window it’s starting

I pack all the stuff that I need inside my bag because today Drake and I are going to Los Angeles. Matthew has sent me the location of his wife's house. It's in the suburban area. To be exact is in El Segundo. I just hope everything that I found is right."Packing your stuff already?" Knowing the owner of the voice, I didn't turn around but a smile creeps on my face."What do you think?" An arms circle my waist, hugging me from the back. A sigh escapes my lips."Are you okay?""I’m fine, I just felt like something will go wrong." Blake turns me around. "Listen to me ruby, we call you ruby for a reason. Ruby means a precious jewel, a rare stone. You are precious Ruby, the reason Moretti send you is that you are the best assassin here and everyone wants you to be their assassin. Trust me, you don’t have anything to worry about.""I hope you’re right. By the way, where did you find that word? In Google?" Blake rolls his eyes.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Drake said as we are on our way to El Segundo the location Matthew sent me."Positive.""What if she doesn’t believe us?""Drake relaxes, as long as we keep calm and act like we don’t have any idea of who they are, we’ll be fine," I said as I’m applying red lipstick to my lips."Fine, I trust you." Smacking my lips together as I look through the mirror of my compact powder. Once I’m done I close the powder and turned to Drake. "Everything will be fine, I’ll do the talking you will just follow my lead okay?""I’m really not good at undercover but okay." The driver announced to us that we have arrived at the place. I got out and straighten my skirt and blazer. I make my way to the front door with Drake beside me. Pressing the doorbell, we waited till she opens the door.A few minutes later, the door opens revealing a petite woman in her late thirty. She looked at u

Killing My Ex-Lover Chapter 37
As I wandered aimlessly through the grand halls of Chase's mansion for what felt like the hundredth time, a sense of futility washed over me like a tidal wave, threatening to drown me in a sea of confusion and despair. There was no getting away from the cruel reality of my imprisonment, no matter how hard I searched or how many rooms I examined.With a heavy sigh, I finally conceded defeat, the weight of my exhaustion bearing down on me like a burden too heavy to bear. I made my way back to the bedroom, the familiar scent of lavender and sandalwood enveloping me like a comforting embrace as I sank down onto the plush mattress, the softness of the pillows cradling my weary body like a mother's gentle touch.My mind was filled with memories of the past as I lay there, staring up at the ceiling with blinding eyes. It served as a bittersweet reminder of the life I had left behind. I hadn't had an actual rest in such a long time, a break from the never-ending cycle of violence and deceit t
Killing My Ex-Lover Chapter 36
The tension in the air was palpable, thick enough to suffocate any semblance of ease as Chase and I sat in silence, the only sound echoing through the room the clinking of our cutlery against porcelain plates. I could feel Chase's eyes burning into me, his gaze like a physical weight that bore into my very soul, but I refused to meet his stare, keeping my focus fixed firmly on my meal as if it were the only thing that mattered.But then, just as I began to relax into the comfortable rhythm of our silent standoff, Chase opened his mouth to speak, his voice cutting through the silence like a knife."Why were you at the party, Ruby?" he asked, his tone deceptively casual yet laced with an undercurrent of suspicion that sent a shiver down my spine.I froze, my fork halfway to my mouth as I struggled to find the right words to answer his question. But before I could formulate a response, Chase continued, his words more of a statement than a question."You were there to kill me, weren't you

RubyI have nowhere else to run.The darkness of the woods enveloped me like a suffocating embrace as I stumbled through the tangled underbrush, my heart pounding in my chest with the frenzied rhythm of fear. I glanced over my shoulder, my breath coming in ragged gasps as I strained to catch a glimpse of Chase's looming figure in the distance. I kept moving forward out of sheer willpower and the survival instinct, but there was no sign of him, no evidence of his persistent pursuit.I knew I was lost, the dense canopy of trees stretching out in all directions like a labyrinth of shadows. However, I refused giving up and held onto the flimsy hope that, somewhere, someway, I am able to get away from Chase.My wounded arm throbbed with a dull ache due to the fight that I had earlier at the party. I grimaced as I slowed my pace, my breath hitching in my throat as I leaned against a gnarled tree trunk to catch my breath. My limbs were gnawing with fatigue, which was eating away at my streng

Chase Hudson The weight of the phone call lingered heavy in the air as I stood outside the hotel room, my mind racing with a tumult of conflicting emotions. "Boss," came the familiar voice on the other end, crisp and efficient as always. "Report," I commanded, my voice tinged with urgency. "There's been a development regarding the incident at the party earlier," my informant began, his tone grave. "We found out that she infiltrated the party using fake names and ID. She went undercover as a waitress, and she is not acting alone. There are four others involved in her plan." I clenched my jaw, my mind racing to piece together the puzzle before me. "Do we have any information on them?" I demanded, my patience wearing thin. "Unfortunately, no," my informant replied. "Their identities and whereabouts remain unknown. But from what we've gathered, they're not your run-of-the-mill criminals. They're skilled, elusive, and highly dangerous." I cursed under my breath, a sense of foreboding
Killing My Ex-Lover Chapter 33
The air in the dimly lit hotel room hung heavy with tension, thick enough to suffocate any semblance of ease. Chase, his steely gaze fixed upon me, seemed more like a predator ready to pounce than a man engaged in conversation. And here I was, Ruby, the unintended prey ensnared within his grasp.I shifted in my seat, not out of discomfort, but out of a calculated attempt to maintain some semblance of control in this precarious situation. "So, Chase," I drawled, feigning nonchalance as I met his gaze head-on, "what's a charming fellow like you doing in a dingy place like this?"Chase's expression remained impassive; his features carved from stone. "Cut the act," he retorted, his voice devoid of any trace of warmth. "I know why you're here. What I want to know is why you decided to crash the party and disrupt my plans."Ah, yes, the party. It seemed my little escapade had ruffled more feathers than I had anticipated. But then again, when did I ever play by the rules? "Well, Chase, darli

I open my eyes and immediately squinted as it made contact with the bright light. I feel something tight on my wrist but trying to move was absolute agony. The wound from the gunshot earlier hasn’t been treated and the fabric is still wrapped around my arm. I groaned in pain as I tried to wiggle my hands as the pain shoot right through my arm. I give up and examine the place instead. I looked around the room trying to figure out where I am, but no clue comes to mind. The room is quite small, but it can fit two people. I tilt my head back and realize there’s a bed and a bathroom in the left corner of the room. This place looks familiar. It looks like a motel room. But is it? I glanced at the clock on the bedside table and saw the time. 1:40 AM My eyebrow furrowed in confusion. How long was I out? More importantly, how am I here? What was the last thing I remember? All these questions ran through my brain. Closing my eyes in hope I could remember the last thing that happened.

"Curious to find out the champagne you spike went?" he leaned forward with a smirk etched on his lips. "See that old man wearing expensive tux with women on each side? He is holding the drink that should be mine." My eyes widen in shocked. Shit! Chase is my target not the old man. I can’t let him drink the champagne or it will make the situation worse. A hand grab ahold of my arm to stop me as I stood up. "Where are you going? Planning to take the drink?" yanking my arm with no avail due to his death grip, he leans closer to my ear. "If you want to see that man survive, you must talk but if you plan otherwise then he’ll die." I face him as I clenched my jaw and glared at him in anger. "There’s nothing to talk about." "Oh, trust me babe, there is." I hissed. "Do not call me that." He raised his brows amusedly. "Why getting the feeling of déjà vu?" balling my fist up, I pressed my body to him catching him off guard. "You know what? Let the old m
