Married to The Impotent Billionaire 10. I am not your puppet
Ruby's POV My body was stiff, each one of my bones reminding me of the call from earlier. My eyes fluttered as I looked up at my ceilings. I turned in my bed for what felt like the hundredth time trying to get some sleep but nothing was working. All I could think about was Benjamin Gustavo. His threats echoed in my mind. Was he really Oliver's son? And why, just why did Oliver give me his shares and properties when he had a son of himself. Was Oliver up to something? Did he approach me from the very beginning with a different plan in mind? I shook my head, trying to dispel such thoughts. Of course he isn't like that. This was the man who had raised me from my low place and given me several opportunities. But then if Benjamin claims to be his son and he really is, surely Oliver must’ve something to do with it. I sighed, breathing in deeply. The fear for Emma and my unborn child gnawed at me. I needed answers, first thing the next morning I was going to be at Oliver’s office.

Ruby's POV In anger, I entered my car, my foot pressing on the brake as I turned the ignition. My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, knuckles turning white. What the hell was I thinking? That a man who barely knew me was just going to hand over his property to me because he loved my mother? How stupid of me. I should’ve known there was something attached to it. He had presented himself like an angel, unable to hurt a fly, and I had let him deceive me. Although he was there during my hardest moments, all he was, was a liar, a snake. He had a goal all along, and I had no idea. Frustrated, I rested my head on the headrest, letting out a heavy sigh as his words rang in my ears. “Now tell me, do you really want to risk Emma and your unborn child’s safety?” My heart pounded in my chest, a mix of fear and anger swirling inside me. How could I have been so blind? How do I get a man I can’t stand to hand over his business to me? How? I shook my head, tears blurr
Last Updated : 2024-08-07Married to The Impotent Billionaire 12. A wet kiss
Dominic's POV. "What are you doing to me?" I asked, pulling away from the kiss. What the hell is going on. Why was she suddenly into me? Is she drunk? I took a few deep breaths, pulling further away from her as I tried to stabilize my thoughts. "What is it, why'd you stop?" She asked, a worry and concern etched on her face. "Ruby, are you really asking me why I stopped? Just few days ago your step dad slapped me, telling me to stay away from you. Just few days ago you were all into Ethan, but now you come here, grab me and kiss me. I don't understand you.” "Ummm.." she took a long look at me, and in the most seductive manner she asked, "do you not want me?" "Want you?" I reechoed. "I've wanted you since the very moment you stepped into this company with my child. But you made it clear you don't want me coming near to our child." "What if I changed my mind?" She was asked. I moved closer to her, unable to comprehend her words. My two hands rested on both sides
Last Updated : 2024-08-07Married to The Impotent Billionaire 13. Confusion
Ruby's POV I lay in the hospital bed, cradling my newborn son in my arms. His tiny hand gripped one of my fingers, causing my heart to swell with joy. Tears welled up in my eyes as memories from the past nine months flashed through my mind. As my eyes fixated on his little frame, I knew all those insults at the diner were worth it. Everything was finally worth it. "He's perfect," Lily said softly, her eyes glistening with tears as she squeezed his tiny palm. Nodding my head in response, I smiled weakly, exhausted but elated. "Yes, he is, Lily. I still can't believe he's here." Ethan leaned down and smiled at me. "You did great, Ruby. We're proud of you." The door to my ward room creaked open, and my eyes followed the sound. My heart skipped a beat as I saw Dominic. Anger and confusion flooding through me. "What the hell are you doing here?" I asked, my voice sharp as I glared at him. Resting my hands on opposite sides of my body, I tried to sit up to face him properly,

Ruby’s POV I sat on my couch, cradling my son in my arms. His soft breathing was the only sound in the room, a peaceful rhythm that contrasted sharply with the distress in my mind. Lily sat next to me, her concern evident as she watched me. "You should give Dominic a chance to be with his son, Ruby," Lily said softly, her eyes pleading. I shook my head, refusing to meet her gaze. "No, Lily. I can't. After everything he's done, I can't trust him." Lily sighed, adjusting her bag over her shoulder. "But he's the father. He deserves to know his son, and your boy deserves a father.” I shook my head, "he had his chance," I replied, my voice hard and unyielding. "And he blew it. He made his choices, and now he has to live with the consequences." “I still think you should —“ Our conversation was interrupted by the sound of the front door creaking open. My heart skipped a beat as my eyes met Oliver Gustavo standing in the doorway, his face red with anger. Lily jumped up, her face
Last Updated : 2024-08-15Married to The Impotent Billionaire 15: who is Gustavo?
Dominic’s POV Standing outside Ruby’s door, I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. The sound echoed through the hallway, and I waited, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. I couldn’t wait to see my son. When she finally opened the door, I was taken aback by her appearance. Her eyes were red, swollen and puffy, as if she’d been crying for hours. “Are you okay?” I asked, my concern genuine. She avoided my gaze, her voice flat. “Just focus on why you’re here.” “Oh,” I said, taken aback by surprise. I guess I should focus on just my son. I took a deep breath and composed myself before stepping inside the living room and following her down the hallway. The house was impressive, far more luxurious than I had ever imagined Ruby could afford. The walls were adorned with exquisite artwork, each piece worth a fortune. There was a large crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. I passed by a grand piano, its polished surface reflecting the light, and a plush, velvet

Ruby’s POV Dominic looked genuinely happy, a rare sight that made my heart ache with conflicting emotions. He lifted our baby in the air, cooing and making funny faces. Justin giggled, his laughter filling the room with a warmth that contrasted sharply with the cold calculations running through my mind. “Look at him, Ruby,” Dominic said, his eyes sparkling with joy. “He’s so perfect.” I nodded, my smile tightening. “Yes, he is.” “Do you need help with anything?” Dominic asked, turning to face me. “I can take care of him while you rest.” “I’m fine,” I replied, my voice steady. “Just focus on spending time with him.” He frowned slightly, sensing my detachment but said nothing. Instead, he turned his attention back to our son, his face softening once more. As I watched them, I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable, a knot tightening in my stomach. “Do you want to help me with his cake?” I asked, trying to divert his attention from Justin. “I thought we cou

Ruby's POV Dominic sat behind his large mahogany desk, eyes flicking to the papers in front of him. "Ruby, we need to discuss the terms of the trustfund. I think it's important for Justin's future that we..." Dominic started, but his voice began to falter, hinting at his distraction. His focus kept drifting, and I noticed his gaze lingering on me longer than necessary. I looked down, trying to check out what got him staring, and it was my cleavage. His eyes were glued to them. I rolled my eyes inwardly. Men were so predictable. "Dominic?" I said softly, leaning forward slightly to ensure his eyes continued to gaze at my cleavage. "Are you listening to me?" He blinked, snapping his eyes back to my face. "Yes, sorry. As I was saying..." But he was flustered, flicking his lashes and trying to hide his embarrassment as his words came out disjointed. I knew this was my moment. If I wanted to get closer to those shares, I needed to use every weapon at my dis

Married to The Impotent Billionaire 20: the Gustavo players
Ruby's POV I parked my car and stepped out, sipping my juice as I tried to calm my racing thoughts. Just as I took another sip, a large figure suddenly blocked my path. I paused, looking up to see a towering man standing in front of me, his huge frame casting an imposing shadow over me like a dark omen. "Excuse me," I said, trying to sidestep him, but he mirrored my movement, blocking my way again. His presence was suffocating, his eyes boring into mine with an intensity that made my skin crawl. I moved away again, trying to pass another side, but he mirrored my movement yet again. My confusion quickly turned to irritation, then fear. "Who are you?" I asked, my voice trembling despite my attempt to sound strong. He ignored my question, his intense gaze fixed on me like a predator eyeing its prey. I tried to move again, but he grabbed my shoulders, steadying me with a grip that felt like iron shackles. His hands were calloused, rough to the touch, and a thick scar r

Dominic's POV Zeus stood before me, gently rolling up his sleeves to elbow level as he spoke. As a friend and worker, Zeus had gotten oddly comfortable with me, however, I liked how he still balanced professional and friend boundaries. “The investigator didn't find anything, Dominic. Oliver Gustavo’s records are clean. No shady dealings, no hidden agendas.” I clenched my jaw tightly as a surge of suspicion rose within me. “Keep looking,” I ordered, my voice cold and firm. “There’s something off about this guy, and I want to know what it is.” Zeus sighed, clearly unconvinced. “I don’t think there’s anything shady about Gustavo. The investigator went through everything and it all checks out.” I shook my head, frustration mounting. “I don’t care what you think! Get another private investigator on this. I want Gustavo’s activities watched around the clock. Everything he does should be reported to me, I need to know when he misses a breath, when he meets a new woman or whe
Married to The Impotent Billionaire 18: means nothing to me
Dominic's POV As I walked into the hallway leading to my office my eye caught Ruby and Ethan by my right. They were both standing in front of her office. Ruby was against the wall with Ethan's hands by both sides of the wall. As he said something and she laughed, my stomach coiled in disgust. What exactly was so funny this early morning? I approached them, my eyes stuck on Ruby as I walked. "Morning Ruby," I greeted, trying to get her attention. "Morning," she replied fast, her voice cold and sharp. She barely acknowledged me before facing Ethan again. "Ummm... Can I see you in my office? I have something to discuss with you." "Oh..." Her mouth pulled an oh. "I'll come by to see you later," she said and returned her attention back to Ethan. "It's really urgent, can I see you now?" I pressed, uncomfortable with the lack of distance between them. "She said she will come see you later!!" Ethan growled, his eyes fuming when he turned to me. What exactly is thi
