CHAPTER 111

RUBY’S POV

Sunday 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 114RUBY’S POVThe rest of the week passed in a blur. Dax took me to the gallery everyday as he insisted he would, classes were fun with everyone and I got freer with them over the space of a few days within the week and then Dax would return to pick me up once we were done for the day.Cecelia always teased me about having a man who was obsessed over me and I would laugh over it because she didn’t know everything. She had no idea about what I had done to hurt Dax or what sort of secrets I was keeping away from him because if he knew everything, he wouldn't be obsessed with me anymore.I didn’t bother telling her that though. I doubted if they all had any secrets they didn’t tell in the class but I couldn't bring myself to say mine because they were extreme and I didn’t want to be the most hated person in class.So I would always divert their attention from me while looking forward to the weekend when I could visit Patricia and pour my soul out to her.I didn’t know why but sh

    CHAPTER 115RUBY’S POVWhen I got to Miss Garnet’s place according to the address she gave me, I took a moment to compose myself before I pressed the doorbell the first time but there was no response. So I pressed again and waited a moment while holding onto Sally’s hand. Soon, I heard shuffling of feet from behind the door.I heard her open her peephole first and I smiled. Then she opened her door with a smile on her face too and we both hugged each other before she noticed Sally who was still beside me and not saying a word.“I’m so glad you could make it, Ruby. At a point, I wondered if you would call and tell me you can’t come again. I’ve been watching you and I just felt like you were the kind of person who opted out of plans at the last minute because your anxiety and fear got the best of you” she told me and I chuckled quietly because she was right.Over the few days that came before the weekend, I pondered about her invitation to come over and talk at her house and I wondered

    CHAPTER 116RUBY’S POV“So tell me, did you have a good time without me while you were on your date?” was the first question Clarissa asked when I showed up on the porch of our house with Sally after getting out of the Uber and I rolled my eyes in response.“Stop being jealous, Clarissa. You know you’ll always be my best friend and number one” I told her while laughing as I took off my shoes and she huffed while folding her arms across her chest.“So you did have fun without me. How was it with her? awkward, enlightening, fun or just blank boring?” she asked me after we both came in and Sally hopped around in the living cheerfully. She didn’t get to play at Patricia’s place but I could tell she enjoyed her lunch and dinner which was probably why she was energetic. Patricia was a great cook.“Hello, aunt Clarissa,” Sally greeted while she kept on hopping around and Clarissa picked her up when she wouldn't stop. Then she began to laugh when she started to tickle her.“Did you miss me,

    CHAPTER 117RUBY'S POV “Tell me how much you want me right now, Ruby and if you are not convincing enough, then we’re going to bed right away” Dax said to me and my jaw dropped while I stared at him in shock. If he thought he was in control of the situation, then he had to be joking because I was about to show him I was the one in control.“Is that a threat, Mr. Kellen?” I asked him seductively, my voice barely above a whisper while I trailed my fingers down his chest and he chuckled when he realized what I was doing.“Use your words, Ruby and keep your hands where I can see them because I’m not going to let you turn me on with your hands” he replied and I smirked as I placed my hand over his length at that moment, making him drag in a long audible breath in reaction.“I’m sorry, what were you saying?” I asked, trying to act clueless and he shot me a sharp, lustful look after realizing this was a losing game for him and he was eventually going to pleasure me as I wanted.“Ruby…” he

I know it’s a sunday morning but it’s 12 pm already and you haven’t had breakfast” Clarissa yelled from outside my room, her voice sounding far off as I woke up to see it was morning already.I moved to get out of bed but was held back by the large arm wrapped tightly around me and I looked back over my shoulder to see it was Dax and he was asleep. We both had a blanket over ourselves but we were stark naked beneath and memories from the previous night flooded my head, making my face heat up as I recalled everything and Dax opened his eyes to look at me.“Hey, baby” he called sweetly, his voice deep and rough and doing things to my insides and I smiled at him beforre giving him a brief good morning kiss and he pulled me closer just as I moved to get out of bed for the second attempt.I laughed when he rubbed the tip of his nose against mine and he grinned too before pulling back and watching me.“What was

    CHAPTER 119RUBY'S POV Dax got ready and returned just as I asked him too and I on the other hand was almost ready too. So he waited in the living room while I put on a black colored with white flowered patterned sundress.Then I held my hair up in a ponytail and wore a pair of shades before I grabbed my purse and left for the living room where he waited only to see he was getting drilled by Clarissa for using the window and I held back my laughter when he looked at me with eyes that cried for help.“Okay, okay. That's enough Missy. Next time, he'll use the door to coke in okay?” I interrupted, gaining her attention as she stopped drilling Dax to look at me and she frowned. “Whatever. Soothe yourselves” she snapped and stood up before exiting the living room. Dax stood up and I internally swooned at how effortlessly good he looked. He was dressed in all black; a pair of black jean trousers, a black T shirt along with a black leather jacket and I realized he was holding his hand out

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.

    CHAPTER 128DAX’S POVI couldn’t sleep. 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
