CHAPTER 105

RUBY'S POV

We arrived at the airport and our bags were all taken into the plane by the staff. Then I carried Sally and tagged along with Dax while Simon held onto Clarissa's hand as they both led us inside.

I sat Sally down on a chair and one of the air hostesses fixed her belt for her. I thanked her before I made my way to another chair and Dax joined me.

He kissed me on the cheek as he took a seat and when a hostess came over to help us fix our belts, Dax held my hand when she smiled at him and I almost laughed out loud when I watched her smile fade away.

With that, she walked away when she was done and soon, the plane took off then a few minutes later, our breakfast was brought. We were all served and we ate silently until we were done and the empty dishes were taken away.

Then I called for a hostess who was passing by and asked her to help me take my belt off for a moment and Dax placed his hand on my shoulder.

“Is anything wrong? You're fine right?” Dax asked me wo

    CHAPTER 106RUBY'S POV “Hey, are you sure you're okay? You were whimpering in your sleep before Dax woke you up.” Clarissa asked me as we were both walking out of the plane while Dax carried Sally and conversed with Simon who was beside him.I glanced back at Dax and Simon first to see if they were within hearing range and I saw they were close by so I turned to Clarissa and pulled her closer to whisper in her ear.“We'll talk when we get to your house. It's private” I told her and she nodded in response after I pulled back to look at her. I smiled on seeing that she understood then we both held hands and headed for the car that waited for us.Simon took the lead to drive while Dax took the passenger seat. Then I sat at the back with Clarissa and Sally who was still asleep and we all left for Clarissa's house.Remembering my dream during the drive made my heart thump faster in fear and when I watched Dax through the rear view mirror, he suddenly looked up, causing our eyes to lock an

    CHAPTER 107RUBY'S POV “So Clarissa told me you work as Dax's bodyguard. Is that true, Simon?” It was already an hour into dinner and an awkward silence had been looming over our heads as only the sound of our cutleries clanking against our plates was the only noise so I guessed Clarissa's father took it upon himself to start a conversation. “Yes, I am. Mr. Tovaro” Simon replied after he swallowed and Clarissa's father nodded in response wordlessly before gesturing at Simon to continue eating.I made eye contact with Clarissa who was opposite me on the other side of the table and she rolled her eyes tiredly which made me smile. I knew she was still worried about how they would interact with Simon but I trusted it would go well.Her parents were very nice people even though they were filthy wealthy and influential in New York. “I hope you're all enjoying your dinner? I just want to be sure you like your stay here” her mother began this time, her face filled with eagerness as she wat

    CHAPTER 108RUBY'S POV Before I could utter a word or stop Clarissa, she had left my side and was walking toward her father with fast, angry strides. Her hands were folded into fists and while I watched, I hoped the situation wouldn't escalate. Not like what her father said was right but I didn't want her to lose her temper and do or say something she'd regret. “How could you, dad? Why on earth would you ask Simon to break up with me? That's bullshit!” She screamed in her father's face and both men were too surprised to react when they saw her. I bet they never thought she would come across them and listen to their conversation. “Clarissa, this is for your own good. You deserve what's best” her father began and she suddenly let out a shrilling scream. I could literally feel her frustration from the scream as the sound bounced off the walls.Quietly, I remained in the spot I was while I watched them helplessly and I soon felt a presence beside me. I turned to look and it was Dax.

    CHAPTER 109RUBY'S POV After a wild night with Dax, where I had to keep mute and hold back my moans with great struggle, morning came and we headed to the dining room for breakfast. Everyone including Sally were present already. She looked cheerful while she sat in between Clarissa and Simon and the maids served the dishes they had prepared. Her eyes met mine as I walked into the dining room with Dax and she smiled widely before she waved.“Hey mum” she said and everyone turned to look at us before we could take our seats.“I always wonder why she calls them both, mum, it's funny right?” Clarissa's mum questioned as a joke and everyone laughed while she subtly winked at me and I grinned in return.She clearly was a good actress and I was glad she was into her role in convincing everyone that Clarissa was Sally's mother. She didn't have to announce it, the way she spoke and acted was convincing and thanks to Clarissa who was taking on the responsibility of caring for Sally, it was a

    CHAPTER 110RUBY'S POV We got to Denmark and we were helped out of the plane while the workers took the bags out for us. I carried Sally and she was fully awake this time. Her wound was almost healed too which meant we would go for a check up soon to know if she could stop wearing bandages. We all got into one car and Simon drove the car. We arrived at our houses and he and Dax helped us carry our bags into the house before they turned to leave so it was just me and Clarissa while Sally headed to her room.“That was a very intense breakfast this morning. Am I right?” Clarissa asked me while she pulled out stuff from her bag and arranged them into her wardrobe. We were both in her room because I was too lazy to arrange my stuff yet.“I guess? I'm really grateful to your mum though, she was really good” I replied and she chuckled before placing her dirty clothes in the hamper then she returned the bag and came to join me on her bed where I laid.“Did you make up with your dad though?

    CHAPTER 111RUBY’S POVSunday passed quickly and soon, it was Monday. That morning, I got up earlier than I usually did, dressed in something simple; a pair of jeans and a blouse. Then I held my hair up in a high ponytail and took a bag big enough to take anything I would have to buy for my classes at the gallery.Then I made my way to the living room and Clarissa was on the phone while she poured herself a glass of juice. Quietly, I took an apron and wore it over my clothes before I began to make breakfast for us.Then I listened to her conversation and I could tell she was speaking to her waitress back at her cafe. I was guessing she did well with the sales while we were in New York because Clarissa didn't seem mad.Soon she was done and I was slipping the last of the ingredients onto the slice of bread I was using to make a sandwich. Then she smiled at me before she joined me at the counter to see what I was up to.“Oooh, I've been craving a sandwich for some days now. I'm glad you

    CHAPTER 112RUBY'S POV Miss Garnet was happy to see me once I walked in along with Dax because he insisted he would follow me into the gallery. She pulled me in for a hug before I could even say anything and I relaxed in her arms for a moment.Then she pulled away and shared a handshake with Dax who was still there. With that, he waved me goodbye after they both spoke to each other in hushed tones and he finally left so it was just me and her.“That man is so in love with you that it shows in his eyes and as someone who does art, believe me when I tell you that he's never leaving your side” she said to me when he was out of the gallery and I laughed in response.“Come on dear. Follow me, let me introduce you to the rest” She urged me to follow her and my eyes widened as I checked the time on my wristwatch. It was only a few minutes before 9 am and everyone was there already?“They're all here already?” I asked her in bewilderment and she nodded while she opened a door that led to an

    CHAPTER 113RUBY'S POV Classes commenced immediately after the whole introduction was over and Patricia took a place at the front of the class to speak to us. I was three weeks late to the class but they told me I hadn't missed a lot because the classes were only three times a week and I could catch up with Patricia in private. Eased that they were interested in carrying me along, I paid attention in class and when it was time for us to paint, Patricia said to open up our minds, free our souls, be transparent with our feelings and draw what felt closest to us in our hearts.The others set to work immediately but I was stuck for a moment. I didn't know how to go about it or what image to have in mind. I was going to draw Sally even if a drawing of her by me wouldn't be perfect but I was terrified.If Dax was the one who got me this membership and he knew Patricia personally, she could give him reports on what I painted and took pictures of and if she told him in secret that I drew an

    CHAPTER 135DAX'S POV After Ruby left the hospital in a fit of rage, I felt uneasy. Shebqas right about everything though. We both kept secrets from each other and were both angry but it wouldn't lead anywhere if we didn't calm down and talk it out.I knew immediately that I had to see her and speak to her but I was admitted under close care and watch so I turned to Simon who had been silent ever since the huge argument between me and Ruby happened. “I need you to check on Ruby for me. I don't know what she's thinking but I want to know if she's at the resort” I told him and he nodded before standing up to leave but then he paused by the door and looked back at me.“Ruby wasn't lying, Dax. She didn't know about Dennis’s plan to shoot you and she also wasn't lying about loving you and wanting you alive for her and Sally's sake. You know I'm good at reading people” He said and I nodded because I was also great at reading people and I knew she wasn't lying about anything from the mome

    CHAPTER 134RUBY'S POV It was already dark by the time I arrived in Denmark but my blood was still sizzling with anger and all I wanted to do was see Dennis immediately. So I boarded a cab, gave the driver the gallery's address as my next stop and called Dennis. “We need to talk. Face to face, right now” I snapped at him once he picked up my call and he chuckled over the phone.“I was expecting this ever since I found out that Dax eventually knew everything. What a waste of a bullet” he said and I took a deep breath to keep my emotion under control because he was obviously testing me with his insensitive remarks.“Meet me at this place. I'm sending the address to you now and I'll be waiting. You'd better not be late or Dax will come find me when he realizes I'm in not in Greece with him anymore and I'm sure you don't want to get cornered by the man you almost killed” I made sure to let him know I wasn't joking around and I heard him groan over the phone. He was pissed and it felt g

    CHAPTER 133RUBY'S POV Humming to myself as I made my way to the room where Dax was admitted along with a paper bag filled with lunch I bought from a restaurant for both of us, I hoped he would wake up to eat with me because I missed him and missed eating with him.I opened the door when I got to the room and immediately I walked in, I noticed the atmosphere was different. Dax was awake and seated up in bed and I was about to hug him but noticed he was staring at me like he didn't recognize me. I frowned because I didn't know why he would be watching me with such foreign eyes.I looked at Simon, hoping he would tell me what was happening but he also stared at me the same way and I wondered again, what on earth was happening and why they were both staring at me like that.“Is something wrong? Did something happen?” I asked out loud when they wouldn’t say anything and Dax placed a phone on the bed side with a video playing on the screen.“Care to explain what this is?” he asked me an

    CHAPTER 132RUBY'S POV On the second day of Dax being admitted, he was still unconscious. He only repeatedly slipped in and out of his consciousness where he would just stare at me blankly before losing consciousness again and my eyes were already swollen and hurting due to how much I cried.That afternoon, I was dozing off while I sat beside an unconscious Dax and suddenly, my phone began to ring and when I checked the caller ID, it was Dennis. Quickly, I rejected the call but he kept on calling no matter how many times I declined his calls so I gave in and picked up on his seventh attempt at pissing me off.“What the hell do you want from me, Dennis?” I snapped at him while whispering and he snickered, making me want to strangle him through the phone. “I'm sure you know I did it by now” he went straight to the point and my grip on my phone tightened so hard that I thought my phone would break to pieces in my hand while I gritted my teeth so furiously.“How could you try to kill s

    CHAPTER 131RUBY'S POV Morning came and I woke up when I heard someone knocking on the door. Dax was still asleep so I decided to get the door instead. I managed to slip out of his arms since he was holding onto me like I was going to run away in the middle of the night. Then I put on my vest and shorts while the knocking persisted and I rushed toward the door to know who was there.I opened it and I was surprised when I saw it was breakfast. I looked at the resort staff before me and she smiled at me so I made way for her to come into the room and she headed straight for the table In the room to set our breakfast for us.“We didn't order anything though, so how did you know what we wanted?” I asked her and she kept on smiling while she did her job.“Mr. Kellen already scheduled everything with us when he booked the room for your stay here” she explained and I nodded in response before she left the room.I noticed my purse which was still by the entrance to the room and I smiled as

    CHAPTER 130RUBY'S POV The surprise location was Santorini and I found out just when we landed in the country and got out of the plane. To say I was elated would be an understatement. I was beyond excited, over the moon and happy that he chose that place for our vacation because it was so beautiful and dreamy and I had always dreamt of going there. So I hugged and kissed Dax on the cheek to thank him and show how much I loved his gesture and he was beaming from ear to ear after I did that in front of the hostesses that worked on the plane. I guessed he was over the moon to have me show that he was mine in public for the first time. “Good day sir and madam. We’ll be heading to the resort now” a driver said after bowing to us and I looked at Dax since I had no idea what was going on.“He’s going to be our designated driver while we’re here” hhe explained when he saw I looked clueless and I nodded before smiling back at the driver while our luggages, a box each of our own, were moved

On my way to the airport with him for our vacation, he wouldn't let me out of his sight until we got into the car and I couldn’t help but notice he became even more clingy after our reconciliation and sometimes, it felt like I was imagining it all just like how I thought I imagined everything I told him when I was sedated that night. He had no idea that I could remember and I didn't plan to let him know because I felt embarrassed about it.Patricia and the rest came over to check on me at the hospital and they were even happier than me to know that Dax was speaking to me again. They were glad their plan worked out for me and I would be lying if I didn't admit that I was over the moon too.Arriving at the airport, our luggages were taken into the plane by the staff and I used that moment to tell everyone goodbye one last time before leaving.

Not after the conversation I just had with Ruby so all I could do was watch her while she slept thanks to the sedating medication she was given after shebwas rushed to the hospital for her fever and my guilt ate at my insides without mercy.There was a lot about Ruby that I didn’t know. I had no idea that she went through all of that after I broke up with her. I didn’t even know that Micahel had thrown her out because I was trying to avoid her and hearing her say all of it to me while half asleep made me realize how much of a selfish jerk I was.If I were in Ruby’s shoes, I’d do the same and not tell me I was Sally’s father because she was right. I left once so what would stop me from leaving again? she was just protecting her daughter and that was what I failed to understand after knowing the truth.So I spent days away from her, overworking myself to get over the fact that I missed her and my daughter even though Simon told me that she was a m
