My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 57
Ruby and I sat side by side while every member of the van remained quite through our journey. We drove for a long time. By my estimate it was more than a two-hour drive. Once we made it to the designated destination one of the men removed our hoods. I am glad Kyle convinced me to set up a GPS tracker on my phone so he could always find me. I hoped he would show up before anything happened to us. We were at some type of mansion. No matter what direction you looked in there was nothing but fields as far as the eye could see. We were in the middle of nowhere. If these men decided to hurt us or torture us no one would hear our screams. I shivered at the thought of it. The four men exited the van leaving Ruby and I behind. “Ruby, who the fuck are these men?” Ruby shrugged her shoulders. “I thought you might know. They are too organized for it to be men sent by Lamar, and other than him I have no one else after me as far as I know.” This made no sense. I have no enemies. Other than Ruby I

What could Emma possibly have to do with Don Anders I wondered. I looked at him questionably. “How do you know who Emma is? I could not care less about your intentions for Ruby, but Emma is very special to me!” Don Anders said respectfully, “Ah miss Emma did me a kind service and took out a couple of my own enemies for me. In fact, I believe the money she transferred to you before her tragic accident was a percentage of what I paid her for her services. I want nothing more than to return her favor, by helping you in her steed.” I did not like the fact that he knew she sent me money. Nor did I know what she had to do to receive it. Thinking about it sent a shiver up my spine. The more I was learning about Emma lately the less I felt like I knew her. I knew however that was not true, I just was unaware of all the things she had done since she decided to go after Ruby. “I am not really sure how you can help me. Please let me be frank. I do not know you, nor do I trust you. I am doing t

The next morning when I woke up Kyle and Kenny were already there. I was relieved that Moana thought to keep the kids in their rooms. I did not want them anywhere near Kenny. I grabbed some coffee and headed into the living room where the two of them were waiting for me. “You look like you could use some more sleep woman.” Kenny said with a sly smile on his face. I yawned and said, “You are probably right about that, but I will survive. So, what do you have for me today.” Kyle took hold of the conversation. “Kenny has been busy trying to uncover any secrets he could find on Ruby. He found a few things that I am sure Emma did not even know about. Go ahead and tell her Kenny so we can make a decision on what to do next.” Kenny nodded and began telling me what he dug up. “From what I can tell Ruby is very good at keeping secrets herself. When it comes to people like me who have a lot of resources and contacts things will not stay hidden to me for long.” The way he spoke led me to belie

Kyle and I quickly rushed to Central Union Hospital. With each passing second, I was getting more anxious. I was hoping and praying the information I had for Dr. Marsh would change the outcome of Emma’s condition. I had the nurse at the front desk page him and I waited impatiently in the waiting room. I was getting irritated that he was taking so long. Deep down I knew I was being selfish since Emma was not his only patient, but at the time I did not care.Kyle was trying to stop me from pacing back and forth but the look on my face made him back down. When Dr. Marsh finally arrived, my anxiety fizzled out and I felt better. “Miss Greene, I heard you were looking for me. What can I do for you?” Dr. Marsh asked pleasantly. “Can we go somewhere more private. I do not need anyone to overhear what I am about to say.” He nodded and suggested his office.Kyle and I followed Dr. Marsh back to his office. His office did not seem like a doctor’s office but rather a teacher’s. The walls were fi

I was at a loss for what to do now. I was not expecting Ruby’s secret husband to be in charge of the university as well. I was a tad bit pissed off at Kenny at that moment for either not finding this information out or for neglecting to relay it to me.On one hand I could kill two birds with one stone here. Revealing Ruby’s true identity to Tanner both as her husband and as her educator. On the other hand, it was possible that he may already know who she really was. It was definitely a gamble either way. I was a hundred percent in a pickle.He watched me as I stared at him without saying a word. Tanner than cleared his throat before saying, “Uh hum. I am guessing my age comes to a shock to you and it may be throwing you off a bit. Most deans are more seasoned than I am. My great grand father founded this school many years ago. It has been a family tradition ever since to take over as dean when our father before us would retire. As such my father retired last semester so here, we are.”

I rushed back to Central Union Hospital as fast and as safely as I could. Once I arrived, I parked my car and hurried into the main doors. Kyle was waiting for me anxiously. He cared about Emma just as much as I did so he was eager to hear what Dr. Marsh had to say. “I waited for you before getting the information from the doc. I thought we should hear it together. Are you ready to head to his office he is waiting for us there.” Kyle said to me lightly. I took a deep breath and nodded. We made our way past reception and the waiting room. I felt like every step was like walking through quicksand. No matter how fast I walked I felt like I was getting nowhere. After what felt like an eternity, we finally made it to is office door. I twisted the knob and walked in. I was shocked to see April, Emma’s mother waiting along with the doctor. “It is about time you showed up. Natasha, you know I am a busy woman, and the doc here would not tell me why he called me here until you arrived!” April

I was so pissed with myself for not looking into the couple before now. Sure, I was busy with other things, but that was no excuse for letting my guard down. I should have made sure they were who they said they were from the very start! Kyle and I parted ways with April for the time being. He was going to drop me off at the house and then he was going to try to locate the couple who actually adopted Emma’s daughter.I was restless sitting at home. I decided to head back to the hospital. With everything that had been going on I completely forgot to tell Shane what we found out about Emma’s condition. He deserved to know more than any of us did. Once back at central union I first went to check on Emma. Nothing had changed as of yet, but I was hoping now that the doctor knew it was in fact not an aneurysm, they would find a way to cure her, and she would awaken. Dr. Marsh had placed a security guard outside her room who would be there constantly to stop anyone from coming in. That was fo

The nurse instructed me to grab the two towels hanging on the towel rack. She then had me put one under Shane’s head. “Okay I am going to remove the scalpel, once I do you need to use the remaining towel and put pressure on the wound immediately!”I frantically shook my head. “Are you crazy? You can not take that out he will bleed to death!” The nurse rolled her eyes at me. “Do not worry I know what I am doing okay get ready.”I wanted to slap myself. In my panic I forgot she was a trained professional. The nurse counted down to one then pulled out the scalpel. Blood started squirting out of Shane’s neck. I quickly pushed the towel on top of the wound making sure not to cut off his airway. I was trying not to pass out from the sight of the blood.To my horror the nurse said, “Do not stop applying pressure. I need to go get Dr. Marsh. If he wakes up at all do not let him get up. And try to make sure he does not talk either!” Just like that she flew out of the room. I was completely fre
