Jaxon's POV

That white dress looked perfect on Ruby. I made a great choice. With her looking like that, I guess the rumour about her would reduce even more. I was staring at the computer screen, waiting for the meeting hour. On the other hand, I still couldn't wait for tomorrow. I would be able to touch Ruby and maybe, cure myself.

What if it doesn't work? What if it's just a waste of time?

No! I can't think negative today! Ruby should be able to help me. She must be able to help me. I'm desperate, desperate to get my hands on my father's property, desperate to find my mother's killer and also, desperate to get my revenge. I need help for all of that, more help than I can count. For now, I'm alone. No one is on my side...yet.

"Sir..." Felix called. He had a worried look on his face. I turned to look at him, as he held onto some documents. He is already preparing for the meeting that's starting in about ten minutes. He really is a hard-working assistant.

    Ruby's POV Maya held onto me as we left the company. I never wanted her to act like my personality soldier, but she preferred to. The rumours about me grew even worse thanks to Jaxon buying me a dress. How did they know he bought it for me? "Hey, I know you're not worried about your reputation. But, you can't let these folks look down on you" She said to me, wearing a worried look on her face. Maya had always been the one worried on my behalf. I still don't get what she wants me to do. Walk up to them and hit them or use my daddy's authority to get them fired. That'll definitely expose my secret, which I have to hide for the next two and a half months. "I'm fine, Maya""I'm not" she frowned, clenching her fist. I sighed as we got outside the company. I slowly looked around and slipped something into my pocket before shoving it into her palm. "Why don't you spend some time alone? That'll clear your mind""You're giving me your black card? Seriously? Do you think I'm just going to

    Ruby's POVJaxon was looking forward to continuing this relationship in a more intimate way. That's his way, but not mine. All I want is to use him and prove to my parents that I can get a husband without their help. His heavy body leaning on mine, was making it really difficult for me to breathe properly. He's really seducing me and I feel it's working. I really want him to touch me. But, if it happens, it would be the second time sleeping with this man. My ex-boyfriend's uncle. I know I'm not cheating, it just feels weird. A sigh escaped my lips as I shook the thoughts off my head. I've agreed to it, there's no going back. "What are you thinking of when I'm in front of you?" His voice snapped me back to reality. His bare chest that was exposed in front of me. It's so clean and hard. "Do you want me to strip you naked also?" He added. "Get off" I shoved him aside. He landed on the couch and I moved away from him. He smirked, staring at his palm. "Your body is really soft, Ruby.

I touched, kissed and did whatever to her body. But, she left before I could go even deeper. The next morning, Felix came to pick me up. He helped me select my suit and also prepare breakfast. And while I was with him, I forgot I wasn't wearing any gloves."The deadline with the design submission is tomorrow morning, boss. How do you plan on selecting the best designs?" "I already have someone in mind. I'm just giving her the opportunity to shine before her colleagues" I replied. Felix was silent for some seconds before he spoke again. It looked like he was cautious. "It's the red haired lady. Ruby, was it?" He asked. I stared at him, before humming a reply."I heard she's bad news. She's rumoured to be hot tempered" he added. "Don't listen to rumours, Felix. She's very good with her hands and trust me, you'

She was living alone in a huge apartment, but she acted poor in the company. She hoped Jaxon find anything suspicious. "You live here?" He asked as he drove into the compound and cut the engine."It belongs to my aunt. She allowed me stay here while she work abroad, since it's closer to the company" I lied, wearing a serious expression."I see. It's huge for you to stay alone. Is the security tight? What if there's a robbery? How often does your aunt visit?" He asked. He was really worried about her. But, she couldn't tell him that there are few guards hiding at every corner of the house.

    Writer's POV Pushing her panties aside, he slipped his finger inside, earning a moan from her. His finger worked wonders on her insides, touching all the right places and setting her on fire. Her toes curled when he added another finger. In and out his fingers went, driving her crazy. "Oh my God, Jaxon!" She moaned, grabbing the sheets. "Just fuck me already" she screamed. "We're almost there. Now you come help me with this" Jaxon said, tugging at his pants. Slowly rising off the bed, Ruby plucked out the buttons of his shirt, flinging the shirt to God-knows-where. As she watched him take off his pants, she dipped her hands into the waistband of her panties and slipped it off. Tossing it across the room, it landed on Jaxon's shirt. Just before he could climb back into the bed with her, she stared at his hardened self and a sudden urge to have both her hands and her lips wrapped around him overwhelmed her. He smiled when he saw the want in her eyes. "You wanna touch this, wife

    Ruby POV "Let's break up!" Rowan's words came in like a wrecking ball. It hurts. It hurts like hell. However, I'm not going to behave childishly by bursting into tears or splashing water across his face. He's smart enough to take me to dinner, in a super expensive restaurant, he ordered my favourite steak and the most expensive wine before dropping the news. I took the glass of wine on the table and sipped from it. "May I ask why? Did I cheat on you?" I questioned calmly. "I'm in love with someone else. She's beautiful and... You know, nice. You're hot tempered, Ruby. Well, you're beautiful also" he said, avoiding my gaze. Rowan and I have been in a relationship since first year in college. We met in a cafe and fell in love.

I arrived in front of his office and was about to touch the glass door when it flung open. An average looking man with glasses, walked out, holding some files. He stared at me and I stared back at him. We were both silent for some seconds. I recognized him. He's Jaxon's assistant. However, I can't remember his name. "You must be Ruby" he said to me.

I could close down this company if I wanted since my father is the largest shareholder here, however, I'm not ready to reveal myself. I slept early last night only to wake up to seeing messages on the company group chat. They were all talking trash about me. I ignored it, just as I should and dressed up for work. A plain black skirt, peach shirt, with a cute scarf around my neck and a pair of ordinary black shoes. That's my outfit for the day. I rushed into the company, showing my ID to the security man. I wasn't late to work. In fact, I'm early. There was going to be a meeting related to what Jaxon... I mean, my boss, told me yesterday. Walking towards the elevator, I received a call from my mother. She's the worrying type. I hurriedly answered the call and moved to a corner so she won't keep on calling. "Hey mom!" "Hey
