CHAPTER 72

RUBY’S POV

An 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.

    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

I felt like the happiest man on earth and if it were possible to fly due to how much happiness one felt, I would be floating over the clouds already.I looked down at Ruby after we got out of the car and the driver took off, leaving the two of us alone in the night, under the starry sky with the overwhelming want that swam through our veins.Without a word, I took her hand and clutched onto it tight before I pulled her along with me toward the double doors and she didn't say anything either as I opened the door and walked us past the entrance, into the house.Once we were inside, I stopped and turned to face her and I saw her swallow as she looked up at me with intoxicating doe eyes that told me how much she wanted me.“There's no one around, right? I don't want anyone walking in on us” she asked with wide eyes as she looked around just to be sure and that made me chuckle before I grabbed her arm and turned her to face me.“There's no one here, Ruby

    CHAPTER 78RUBY’S POVStreaks of light suddenly blocked out the darkness behind my eyelids and I groaned from my sleep before I slowly opened my eyes but quickly held a hand over my face to protect my still sleepy eyes from the light that flooded in through the window.I turned to the other side of the bed but Dax wasn't there. My heart immediately dropped and it became hard to breathe. Quickly, I sat up and looked around the room, in search of Dax but he was nowhere to be seen.Did he leave me in bed after what we had together last night? Was he regretting asking me to be his girlfriend already and was wishing he could reverse it all?So many doubtful questions and scenarios filled my mind and soon, I felt tears filling my eyes. My best tightened, my heart began to hurt and I gasped for air while looking around the room still, in panic.Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and a lady who looked like she was a few younger than me walked in clad in a uniform that made it obvious that

    CHAPTER 79RUBY’S POVBreakfast ended and without a forewarning, Dax picked me up from my chair and carried me bridal style all the way to the room while I shrieked in surprise. We both laughed about it and when it was time to take a bath, he insisted we had our bath together.I didn’t object. Instead, I pulled him into the bathroom along with me, and to make him feel good just like he made me feel the previous night, I went down on him before we had another round of lovemaking right beneath the shower as the water poured down on us in torrents.Our bath soon came to an end and we made our way back to the room. I cleaned up and dressed up, wearing a simple sky-blue colored dress then Dax helped me dry my hair and held it up in a ponytail for me after so many tries. It was a perfect morning for us. Everything was going perfectly… Just like the way it used to be eight years ago before the whole unfortunate situation but now, we were back to where we stopped and would be going forward u

    CHAPTER 80RUBY'S POVI rushed out of the bathroom and ran back to the table that I and Dax occupied before I excused myself. Once I got there, he was on a call and his face looked grave. He looked like he wanted to punch through a wall while he spoke on the phone with a tightened jaw and then he was done.He turned toward me and looked up at me while I stood before him, heaving hard to catch my breath but also trying hard to keep a straight face so I wouldn't seem suspicious.“Is something wrong? You don't look so good” I asked him as I took a seat and he palmed his face with a loud groan. I didn't say a word as I let him remain that way, hoping he would feel better soon but then he pulled his hands away from his face and looked at me.“I lost a partnership I was supposed to make with a foreign company and it was a huge one. It was going to help so much but now it's gone and then it had to be Dennis’s company I lost it to” he finally explained and I felt my heart drop again while I

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
