CHAPTER 44DAX’S POV“How the hell did Dennis know about Ruby's job? It was supposed to be confidential” I asked Simon immediately as I got out of the car at the airport.My luggage had been packed and moved from the house to the airport by the maids. They were moving them all into the plane so we were set to leave at once.“I'm sure he has his contacts in Denmark too. He probably asked them to look into the reason why you were opening a branch in Denmark and then found out about Ruby and her job” he replied and it made a lot of sense.I wasn't surprised to know that Dennis went to such lengths just to dig up information about me. The loser was so desperate for his father’s attention that he was so willing to do the dirty job and have his name stained for a little recognition from a man that didn't give two fucks about him.With a shake of my head, I decided to forget about him and his sorry ass and focus on Ruby instead. I still had to get that man out of the picture immediately becau
CHAPTER 45RUBY’S POV“Have fun on your date!” Clarissa snickered as I wore my earrings and I shot her a glare through the mirror while she lay on my bed.Sally left for school almost two hours ago so it was just the two of us in the house and I was preparing for my date with Arnold after we agreed on a time and place to meet.“What? You said Arnold is so sweet” she tried to mimic me playfully and I flung a lipstick at her to shut her up but missed and she laughed at me.“Shut up Clarissa. It's just a date, nothing else and I didn't say that” I told her and she made a face at me before she lay back in the bed.“Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say” she replied, rolling her eyes and I ignored her as I took a brush to brush through my hair a little.Soon I was done and I took one last look at myself in the mirror. I wore a brown-colored long-sleeved high-waisted dress with a pair of black loafers and took a black handbag to pair the colors.Then I twirled for Clarissa who was watching me and s
CHAPTER 46DAX’S POVI had never seen Ruby get that mad at me before. When we were dating eight years ago and even when I followed her all the way to Denmark and told her that I wanted her back, she never got that angry.That was what made me know that I had fucked up again and would have to make it up to her so she wouldn't stay mad at me for a long time. I couldn't afford to let her ask for space again.As I watched her walk away with rapid angry steps, there were two things I had in mind. First was to get Arnold Fusser out of the picture then apologize to her for having her watched but for the moment, I felt uneasy knowing that just as Simon predicted, she was going out on a date with Arnold.Quickly, I turned and headed for my house and Simon was at the bar when I walked in. He turned around to face me and nodded toward the door when he saw I wasn't looking so pleased.“Got into another fight with her right?” He asked like he was there to witness it all and I ignored him because h
CHAPTER 47DAX’S POVAn hour passed and soon, I received a message from Simon to let me know that the job had been done. He sent the location to me and I quickly got changed into something else before I made my way to where they were.It was a house 40 minutes away by car from our street so it was quite a safe distance and it was vacant. It was very impressive for Simon to find such a place in such a short time.“How did you find this place so fast? Been to Denmark before?” I asked as I walked in after he opened the door for me and our footsteps echoed loudly.“Nah, I have my contacts too, and after explaining everything, he was kind enough to give me this place for a few hours. It's a guest house so he said we shouldn't make any mess” he answered and I nodded in response while I looked around the dimly lit living room. It was best if we kept the lights off.“So where is he?” I asked about Arnold after surveying the place and he pointed above us.“Upstairs and unconscious until we wak
CHAPTER 48RUBY’S POVIt had been three days since I went on a date with Arnold and no word from him since then. Our date was fun. The hours swept by so fast that day and when it was finally time to go home, I dreaded it a bit.I dreaded it because I knew I would have to go back to living with the fact that I was pretending and lying to Dax while working with his arch-enemy, Dennis, in secret to destroy him but I still had Sally and whenever I looked at her, I remembered that she was another reason why I was doing that… to protect her.I sighed as I checked my phone for probably the hundredth time that morning, hoping to see a notification pop up on my screen with Arnold’s name and Clarissa stole a glance at me from where she was busy making two cups of iced coffee for us in her cafe.It was a Thursday so Sally was at school already and since I had nothing to do at the club during the day, or at home all alone, I tagged along with Clarissa to her cafe to while away time and probably a
CHAPTER 49RUBY’S POVI arrived at the bookshop and as always, it was busy and filled with people.I walked in and took my time to walk around in search of Arnold but he wasn't there.So I met with a worker of his, who was busy placing new books on a shelf and she smiled at me when I called for her attention.“Hi, I'm Ruby Sinclair and a friend of the owner, Arnold Fusser. Did he perhaps come to work today?” I asked her, making sure to be careful with my choice of words and she nodded, that smile still on her face.“Sure, he is around but in his office at the moment. Can you wait here while I call him for you?” the lady replied and I nodded eagerly, pleased that I found someone willing to help, and with that, she walked away.I waited for a couple of minutes and soon, she returned to meet me where I waited for her.“Mr. Arnold said you can see him in his office,” she told me and I smiled in relief on hearing that. Maybe he wasn't with his phone when I called. Maybe he was just busy an
CHAPTER 50RUBY’S POV“Stop lying to me. Arnold would never do that” I told Dax and he shook his head as he walked toward me and I took steps back.“Why don't you call him and ask him? Or you can ask Simon when you're leaving. Since he was also there with me” he replied and I gasped in disbelief.Here I was thinking Dax had tortured him and told him horrifying things to send him away from me but it was just money. He offered Arnold money and he took it and agreed to stay away from me for good. He chose money over me and it was all because of Dax who decided to ruin it all.“How could you? How could you do this to me? Why do you keep on ruining everything for me, you asshole? Why do you enjoy pissing me off all the time?” I yelled at him as I hit him on the chest repeatedly and he let me without holding me back or saying a word in response.“I hate you so much. You piss me off so much that I just want to wring your neck and let you die in pain! You bastard, I hate you so much!” I screa
CHAPTER 51RUBY'S POVSoon Dax fell asleep and his soft snores filled my ears as he lay beside me, his arms still wrapped around me.I looked up to watch him, unable to sleep and I smiled at seeing how peaceful he looked in his sleep.I couldn't stay there in bed for long though, there was another reason why I was in his house and if I didn't use the opportunity to get what I wanted, I might never get another chance again and Dennis would fulfill his threat by telling Dax everything.Slowly and subtly, I pushed Dax’s arms off me and rolled out of the bed. Then I covered him up with a blanket before making my way to the bathroom where there were two robes hung on the wall.I grabbed one and placed it close before I stepped under the shower to wash off and when I was done, I cleaned up and made my way back into the room with the robe I wore then I dressed up, arranged my hair with the help of a mirror and picked my phone before I tiptoed out of the room.Immediately I was out of the roo
