CHAPTER 68

RUBY’S POV

We entered the elevator still hand in hand and I caught the curious stares of several of Dax’s workers as we walked past them, heading for the parking lot.

I was certain they had all heard about Dax querying the security officer who didn't recognize me and I was sure they would have searched about me on the internet to know who I was.

They didn't have to search too hard though because pictures of me and Dax from eight years ago were still splattered all over the internet.

We got to the parking lot and Dax had opened the door to the passenger seat for me to get in when I remembered I left my bag back in his office and I had to get back to get it.

“Shit! I forgot my bag” I exclaimed as I patted my body vainly because I knew that there was no way the bag would magically appear even if I touched all parts of my body all day long.

I looked up at Dax who stood before me with his hand still holding onto the open door and he ran his fingers through his hair while I wait

    CHAPTER 69RUBY’S POVThe whole drive to the spa was in silence. A comfortable though, because thankfully, I finally relaxed from my shock and fear of almost getting caught.Dax held my hand throughout the drive and when we arrived, he got out of the car first before getting my door for me and when I got out, I made sure to kiss him on the cheek which earned a flustered smile from him.We both walked into the spa and Clarissa was seated in a corner of the waiting room. Many other women were waiting too and most of them were busy reading through magazines or scrolling through their phones without a care about who came in or got out of the spa.Clarissa sighted us and with a glare, she stomped over to where we stood and folded her arm across her chest.“What took you both so long? I called a long time ago to let you both know I was here already” she asked and there was silence for a while.Simon walked into the spa at that moment and he was carrying four paper bags which meant lunch was

    CHAPTER 70RUBY’S POVThe day for the gala party back in New York finally came around and once it was noon, Dax was already at my door to take me shopping for my dress.He told me not to worry about preparing anything for the gala because he had it all under control and I dreaded returning to New York for the second time after eight years, since the first time was for Michael’s funeral.But at the same time, I felt it was high time I showed my fave back on the news as Dax’s girlfriend again since that was what they all believed anyway. So I was ready. I had Dax with me and I trusted him to make sure I would be fine throughout the gala so I had no cause to worry too much. “Are you ready, milady?” he asked with a British accent while he held his hand out for me to take as we stood on my porch and I smiled in amusement.“Of course, sire. I shall follow you because you are a trusted gentleman” I played along as I placed my hand in his and he arched a brow while his eyes danced with amuse

    CHAPTER 71RUBY’S POVI took a step back after giving Dax a brief kiss but he caught my wrist and I looked up at him. His eyes had darkened, lust filled them and they were focused on only me… even though the workers were already starting to file out of the dressing room where I left them.“Kiss me more,” he said, his voice deeper and I swallowed before I looked at the workers who were secretly watching us. Then I looked back at him for a while before I gave in and kissed him just like he wanted.Without warning, he pulled me closer and cupped my face to kiss me deeper. I let a muffled gasp against his mouth when he did that but he didn't let go. He kept on kissing me hungrily and soon, I could hear the workers gasping on realizing what we were doing.He finally pulled away and our lips smacked loudly when we stopped kissing.Our eyes were still fixed on our lips as we panted for air and Dax smiled while he stared at my mouth.“Your lipstick is gone,” he said and I finally looked up in

    CHAPTER 72RUBY’S POVAn hour later, we arrived in New York and a shiny black Aston Martin was waiting along with the driver for us once we got out of the private jet. Dax helped me check if I still looked okay and once he confirmed I was perfect, we got into the car and after exchanging a short pleasantry with the designated driver, we set off for the gala.Soon, we got to the venue and it was already packed with people. Just as the car stopped right before the red carpet, I could see reporters and journalists peeking hard to see who could be in the car through the tinted glasses but it gave nothing away.I looked at Dax and he was watching me. I dragged in a long breath and slowly let it out before I reached for his hand then he looked down at our hands before he looked up at me and I shrugged.“Hold my hand for support. I really need it” I told him pleadingly and he nodded before kissing the back of my hand. Then he leaned closer and also kissed me on my forehead.“Trust me to alw

    CHAPTER 73RUBY’S POV“We both know you aren't here to greet a friend because none of us on this table are friends of yours. So just walk away, Dennis” Dax snapped at Dennis who was still smiling like he enjoyed seeing Dax get so disturbed by his presence and my heartbeat accelerated as fear coated the whole of me.“Now, don't be so sure about that, Dax. Don't assume you know everything” Dennis told him while taking one of the canapes served on the table and popping it into his mouth while tucking his other hand into the pocket of his suit.“If you think you'll succeed in planting baseless ideas in my head tonight, then you've failed woefully, Dennis. You're also interrupting our view of the stage from here so get fuck out of here before I have you thrown out” Dax warned him and Dennis rolled his eyes before he looked at me.Then he walked closer while I stared at him in fear and I gasped when he took my hand and kissed the back while looking into my eyes like he was passing a message

    CHAPTER 74RUBY’S POVThe car ride back to Dax’s house was silent. I kept on looking out the window right from when we got into the car and even though I could feel his burning gaze on the back of my head, I couldn't bring myself to look at him. I felt too embarrassed to do so because he bought me the dress I wore and it got ruined the same night he bought it for me. It was insanely expensive. Probably almost impossible for me to afford it even though I was making a decent earning.“Ruby. You haven't looked at me since we got into the car. Is something wrong? Did I say or do something wrong?” he asked me, his voice laced with concern and I looked into the glass to catch the reflection of him staring at me and waiting for an answer.I sighed and shut my eyes right as my bead began to hurt and the embarrassment I felt only intensified. I couldn't bring myself to look at him no matter how much I thought it wouldn't matter to him.It may not mean anything to him because he was rich but i

    CHAPTER 75RUBY’S POVWe both got down from the car once we arrived at the nearest cinema and I couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear while Dax held onto my hand. We both looked at each other at the same time and I giggled when he sent me a kiss.“Are you ready for the best date ever, Ruby?” He asked me and I rolled my eyes at him before placing my hand on my waist.“Dax, don't sound so full of yourself yet. I'm the one who gets to decide if the date will be perfect or not” I teased him and he sighed playfully.“I guess I have to impress you then” he replied before kissing the back of my hand that he held then he pulled me along with him into the building and we headed straight for the reception.The lady behind the counter looked confused at first when she saw us and I could understand why. It was very rare to see an overdressed couple coming to watch a movie at almost midnight.“Welcome. How can I help you?” she asked politely and Dax spoke up.“We want to watch a movie. You can re

    CHAPTER 76RUBY’S POVTo lighten the mood after the whole revelation, Dax pulled me out of the cinema after we both bade the lady good night and we took a walk down the street, our hands intertwined as we strode in silence.Then I saw an ice cream truck across the street and I suddenly craved ice cream so I pulled Dax along with me and we headed toward the truck still in our dress and tuxedo.“What would the beautiful lady and gentleman have?” the man who sold the ice cream asked as he scooped a spoon into a cone and handed it over to the woman beside us. Then she walked away and it was just the three of us.“I want a vanilla ice cream, three scoops,” I told him and his smile widened.“I see you like the basics,” he said and I leaned against the front counter of his truck before smiling back at him as he handed my cone of ice cream to me.“Sometimes, the basics aren't boring. It just means you don't want to complicate things” I replied and he laughed.“Just like how they say. It may b

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
