I raised my lashes and stared intently at Shane’s pondering eyes. I wondered what was going on in his beautiful mind "Baby what are you contemplating about? I can see the gears behind your eyes grinding against each other!" Shane chuckled and said "I was just thinking about how you used my wedding vows as an excuse, but I realized I really do not know what to say to Ruby. What do you say to a woman you are only marrying because of the kids you share? This is so frustrating, maybe babe you really could help me write them."In an instant I was out of bed chucking his clothes and shoes at him. One of his shoes hit and bounced off the top of his head. " What the fuck babe? It was just a question, not even that just an idea! If you do not want to help me with writing my vows than just say so! You do not have to toss my shit at me!""Shane Donaldson, you are a completely unbelievable asshole! It is hard enough that I have to stand by her side and watch the two of you get married, but now you want me to write your vows for you as well. Get the FUCK out of my house you inconsiderate prick!"Shane rolled his eyes at me and said " Babe come on! You do realize that any vows I speak that day will be about you. Ruby will not know that, but you and I will." I screamed in his face at the top of my lungs "Like that is any better you need to shut your stupid ass mouth you are only making things worse! Get out of my house before I mess that handsome face of yours up before your big day!"The next morningI awoke around nine fifteen in the morning. Still fuming from the night before. My phone kept vibrating so I picked it up to see what was going on. I had thirteen missed calls, twenty text messages, and two voicemails from Shane. There was also three social media notifications and seven emails. Sighing I placed my phone down entered the kitchen grabbed the ground coffee and filters filled the coffee pot turned it on and headed into the bathroom to take a much-needed shower.After twenty minutes the warm water started running out, so I got out of the shower, and I went back to the kitchen more alert now. I grabbed a cup and filled it with coffee than added a splash of creamer. Then finally I grabbed my phone and went and sat down to read my messages and listen to my voicemails.I will not bore you with all the text messages Shane sent me. It was all the same regurgitated shit rewrote twenty times. All seven emails went straight into the trash bin, I hate spam mail that did not filter to the spam folder. I called my voicemail. The first one was Shane exclaiming "Shit" but the second one I listened to more times than I would like to admit."Babe? Please hear me out after that the ball is in your court and I will not call or text you again until you choose to reach out to me. I fucked up big time and I know it. I rethought everything I said to you tonight and it even sounded harsh to me. God you are right I am a complete asshat. what right did I have to ask you that, and it was probably worse for you since we just finished having sex and all the while I was thinking about wedding vows? I love you more than anyone, my children excluded. You know I do not Love Ruby, but this is what I have to do, and I am so very sorry that you have to be there to endure it. One day it is going to just be you and me that is a promise. If only there was a way Ruby would choose to leave on her own than none of this would matter. Shit my mother is calling. Okay I got to go, just remember I love you babe always have always will."After listening to the message for the tenth time and saving it I finally sent Shane a text message in response "Baby we are good. I love you too! You said everything I needed to hear from you. Still, I am sorry I cannot help you with your vows especially if they are actually meant for me. So, you better write some good ones. I want it to be a happy surprise finally getting to hear exactly how you feel. Kisses!!" Almost instantly I got a response "They will be the best vows ever written than!" followed by a bunch of heart emojis.Finally after that was all done, I clicked on to my social media page. The first notification was about my best friend, yes even someone like me has one, Natasha adding a post about her two cats. The second one was about some girl named Anne who was now following me. Boring and a bit creepy anyway. And the third one was a picture posted by my cousin Derek with the caption " Celebrating at the Dragon house with my sister Ruby Two days until she is a married woman!"The picture was of the two of them sitting side by side at a table giving each other a peck on the lips. I looked at the picture for a moment than an evil smile spread across my lips. This picture just gave me the perfect ending to the weirdest Bachelorette Party ever.I pulled up my contacts list on my phone and scrolled down until I found my cousin Derek’s number and hit call. It rang a few times than went to voicemail annoyed I hung up. A minute later a text from Derek came through "Who is this?" Typical. I should have guessed he would not have my number saved in his phone." Hey Derek, it is your cousin Emma. Tonight, is Ruby’s Bachelorette party and since she told me you cannot come to the wedding, I thought it would be a nice surprise for Ruby if you came to the party tonight."Another minute went by before Derek texted back" Oh hey cousin long time no talk. It is great to hear from you. I would love to come, just tell me when and where and I will be there." After giving him all the information, he responded with a simple " Thank you see you tonight."Next, I scrolled through my contacts again until I found Lucas. After hitting the call button Lucas answered after two rings" Good morning, Ma'am what can I do for you today?" Sometimes Lucas was a little too polite to me, and it made me feel weird deep down inside. "Hello Lucas. I need you to do two things for me today. The first thing I need from you is to find someone to work for me who will not care if he gets his hands dirty and is willing to follow someone around for me."After a short pause Lucas said "Of course. Kyle was extremely helpful to you last time you needed someone to deal with shady stuff should we go with him?" I thought for a moment "Ah Kyle the enforcer I do not know why I did not think of that. He will be perfect." Lucas was quick on his feet I will give him that " Very well Ma'am and the second thing you need from me?" I got an evil look on my face and said with satisfaction " I need you to get me ecstasy before the Bachelorette party tonight do not fail me!"Related chapters

Current Location: In Kyles car"Emma I am so glad to be working with you again, and by what Lucas said it is going to be so much more fun this time!" Kyle said with a toothy grin. I returned the smile" That is correct. Your job this time around will be following my cousin Ruby, sabotaging her and planting evidence against her. But the first thing you are going to do is follow me to the party venue tonight you will be taking some pretty incriminating photos of both Ruby and her brother Derek!""Lucas was right this is going to be so freaking fun!" I nodded opened the car door and stepped out. Before walking away, I turned and said, "Just remember you are not to be seen!" Kyle smiled and nodded. "Oh, wait Kyle one other thing I need you to figure out a way to prevent Shelly from coming to the Bachelorette party tonight by any means necessary. But she needs to show up for the wedding tomorrow understood?" Kyle responded with" darn so no messing her up. Of course, consider it done!"A few

Current Location: Cheap thrills Party inc.I was standing outside the building waiting for Mrs. Spooner to bring around the party bus when a text came through from Kyle. "Hey boss lady I am across the parking lot, and I have eyes on you. Do not worry I will stay in the shadows. Also, I took care of Shelly. I sent her dad an anonymous text from a burner phone saying I had his teenage daughter and will only give her back if Shelly was there. Then as soon as Shelly got word and left her house to go to her dads, she stopped at a gas station and went inside. I than took her phone from the car so her dad cannot warn her when Shelly’s sister comes back and finds out she is completely fine, and the text was only a prank."Brilliant job Kyle! Just remember when I give you the signal it is time for your photography skills." I sent the message and I heard three short car honks in concession. Conformation from Kyle that he understands.At that moment Ruby and Dede both pulled into the parking lot

Current Location: Cheap Thrills Party Bus"So Emma since you saw the list do you know where we are heading now?" Dede asked me curiously. "Wait you do not know? Shelly said you worked with her to make the list. I did see the list, but I only glanced it. I believe we are going for dinner before going to a club to finish off the night. I am just not sure which restaurant or which club." I said knowing Shelly said no such thing.Dede was speechless at first than said to Ruby" what the hell is going on with Shelly, Ruby? First all these crazy arrangements for your Bachelorette party. Then she lies to Emma and says I helped her come up with the festivities for tonight! Which for the record I had nothing to do with." "I know you did not. I saw the shock on both of your faces. Shelly has a lot of explaining to do." Ruby said confidentiality."Maybe Shelly is interested in Shane and she is trying to ruin your happiness." Derek suggested. Well, he is not far off except he is wrong about the gir

Current Location: The Whip and Chain.Leaving the driver and Mrs. Spooner on the bus, we walked into the Whip and Chain. I could see the chagrin on Ruby’s face. Ruby was utterly disgusted by this choice of venue. It made me extremely happy deep inside!Why would Shelly do this? Is she trying to get back at me for something I did? I cannot imagine what though." Ruby mumbled to herself. "Look, it may not be what you imagined for your Bachelorette party, but we are here so let us make the best of things." Derek smiled gently at Ruby.I turned to Ruby." How about we do this. I will go grab everyone’s drinks. And before you go and try making requests, I am choosing the drinks for everyone tonight. Ruby it is your party, and you can cry if you want to. But you are going to have fun even if it kills you." Derek screamed " Hell yeah cousin! That is what I am talking about. Someone making my dear sister climb out of her shell."I smiled than turned around and headed for the bar. After ordering

Current Location: My bed around four o'clock in the morningI was jolted out of a deep sleep by the constant ringing of my cell phone. I rubbed my eyes trying to get my bearings. My phone stopped ringing, so I was planning on going back to sleep. But withing about five seconds it was jingling again. I reach for my phone and unsurprisingly I see that it was Ruby calling. I expected this now that the drugs have worn off, I knew she would be panicking.I answered the phone with a huge yawn " Ruby do you have any idea what time it is? First you ditch me last night now you are calling me so damn early in the morning!" Ruby broke out in hysterics." I ditched you. Did I ditch Dede as well? She has not been answering my calls either. I have been trying to get through to you and Dede for the last thirty minutes. I was about to give up. Anyway, none of that is important you can catch me up on all of that later. I have a favor to ask can you please come back to this nightmarish club and pick me u

Current Location: Wedding venue bridal parties dressing roomRuby was already here when I walked in. "Hey Ruby, how are you feeling after your, um, Bachelorette party?" Ruby rolled her eyes "Happy it is over but thankful for you. I think without you everything would be ruined. I am so happy you are my maid of honor. Shall we start getting dressed. I noticed our dress bags all have our names on them."I was having a tough time holding back the excitement inside me. Ruby is already pissed at Shelly. Now Ruby is going to hate Dede as well. This was a complete disaster no bride would ever want to go through, and one Ruby could never had anticipated.Ruby pulled down the zipper on her garment bag and was utterly shocked to see, not the beige dress she wanted, but a lime green dress that was two sizes too big. It looked like baby poop it was so ugly. I approached my dress bag and unzipped it. It was purple and very poofy with a lot of lace it looked like a fancy tablecloth, and it was a siz

Ruby let out a huge sigh of relief "I understand Emma has helped me out a lot in the last three days as well. Emma from Shane and I we are truly grateful for you." Well, that was anti-climactic. At least that means everything I have done up to this point was not for nothing.The minister got to the I dos than he said, "You may kiss the bride." Just like that Shane was a married man and I was now a mistress at least until the shit hits the fan Shane gets the pictures and divorces Ruby.The wedding party went back to our respective rooms to change into our outfits for the reception which will be held at the Cheap Thrills Party inc. ballroom.

Current Location: Outside my house at four sixteen Jefferson StreetI asked Shane if he wanted me to deal with Ruby and he said no. "Babe eventually I will have to talk to her about moving out and getting the marriage annulled. You should go ahead and head inside I will talk to Ruby and be in as soon as possible I promise."Shane and I both got out of the car. I grabbed the groceries, and I headed inside while Shane went over to Ruby’s car. I made it to my kitchen and a text came through on my phone. I opened my messages and was curious as to why Ruby was sending me a text when she was pretty much right outside my door. "Em can you come out and talk to me after Shane comes inside, please?" More than anything I wanted to tell her no, but I knew if I did, she would just call anyway. If I did not answer Ruby’s call would call repeatedly until I did. I simply texted back "Sure" and left it at that.I started unbagging the groceries and put the beer in the fridge. I started preparing dinner

Three months later“Mother can you stop trying to make today all about you for god sakes it is my wedding day not yours.” I said to my mother for about the fifteenth time in the last five minutes. I was already nervous as all hell about doing this in the first place and as usual my mother was making everything worse. “Emma, I am not trying to make this about me. I was just saying how ignorant it is for my date to cancel last minute. It is just so messed up I deserve better than this.” My mother said with a scornful tone. I just sighed shaking my head knowing I couldn’t stop her from being the selfish creature she is.“Come on Miss White they are ready for you outside.” Natasha said scooting my mother out the door. I gave her a thankful look and went back to trying to calm myself down. Natasha walked over to me and put her hand on the small of my back. “It is going to be okay Emma. I know marriage makes your skin crawl, but you love Shane, and he really loves you. I don’t think I have

After I jumped on Ruby’s back everything seemed to be moving in slow motion but at the same time it felt like everything was sped up. I know, I know that seems really confusing, but it was like the world around me was one big blur of movement while it seemed to take me a lifetime to knock her to the ground though my guess is it took mere seconds.Three things happened simultaneously. Ruby fell, her gun went off, and I knew someone had been shot because I was now covered in red specks of blood all over my arms and I could feel them on my face as well. The smell of rust and salt invaded my nostril and made me feel queasy. I couldn’t let it get to me however or Ruby might wind up with the upper hand.I struggled to grab her arms and pull them behind her back. For a small chick she was stronger than she looked, not to mention I just had surgery and my incision from the c-section hurt immensely. Finally, someone noticed how much trouble I was having and came over and kicked Ruby square in
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 137
I knew I had to start talking to Ruby to try and distract her so Kyle could sneak up on her and take her out. “I am really glad you find your psychotic ways so amusing. I mean someone has to think you will get out of this unscathed and why not let it be yourself. After all you have been through so much in these past few months. You lost Shane to a better woman, you murdered your own child, lost your second family, destroyed your career, and so much more but hey at least you can stand there with a grin on your face and be completely content!”Ruby’s face turned into a scowl I guess she didn’t like her short comings being thrown in her face. That was good I wanted to piss her off, so all her focus was on me. She didn’t even seem to realize as I was talking that Shane, Tony, and Natasha started slowly moving away from each other and their current position to situate themselves around her so we could cover her in a five point angle. Ruby stood there momentarily at a loss of what to say to

Emma:“I know what you are going to say Kyle, but we have to go out there. After all we both know she is here for me, and I am afraid of what she will do if I don’t show up.” I said to Kyle trying to convince him how important this decision was. Kyle sighed and turned his head towards me. “I know you are right but that does not mean I have to like it. The only way I will be comfortable with allowing you to go out there is if you stay behind me understood?”I shook my head at Kyle in disbelief. “You know as well as I do that will not work. She will kill you without a second thought to get to me. Look I have a better idea. I know she is going to talk my ear off before she does anything at all. I want you to go back up these stairs to the second floor and make your way to the other staircase. Once there come back down to this level and come in through the other entrance. My cousin’s eyes will be on me, and she will not see you sneaking up on her. What do you think?”Kyle told me that was

We all began yelling at detective Morris that he just shot Detective Wilcox. “No, no, no! I did not mean it. Jennifer, please tell me you are ok. Jennifer, please answer me!” Detective Morris screamed out in desperation. I called out and said I was going to crawl over and check on her. He gave me the go ahead and I slowly began crawling over to Jennifer being cautious as to not make the detective trigger happy again.When I made my way over to her I first checked her pulse and looked for where she had been hit. “She is unconscious and has a very thready pulse. You struck her once in the chest and once in the torso. You need to get someone in here now to get her and Emma to the hospital. We also have a third person who is injured. He got struck with shrapnel when the explosion happened out the back door.” I said hoping he would understand how urgent this matter was.“Officer down, I repeat officer down. We need two more ambulances aside for the one for Detective Wilcox we have two civi

Of course, it would be her. Who else is psychotic enough to start a shooting rampage through a fucking hospital. I was positive she knew I was here, and she was looking for me. “Kyle, can you see anyone else out there?” I asked not really wanting to know the answer but knowing I had to. Kyle moved his head as far left as he could while still being able to see out of the small rectangular window. “There are a few people lying on the floor. It does not appear that anyone is hurt. Ruby is out there pointing the gun at people and yelling but I can not hear her through the door. Holy shit! This is so fucked. Miss Emma, I do not want to alarm you, but Shane Tony and Natasha are out there!Natasha:Hello again dear reader. I know I said you would not be hearing from me again, however when I wrote that we thought everything was coming to an end and that I would not have anything to tell you that Emma could not. We were very wrong on that front seeing as while Ruby came into the hospital firin

Kyle and I took an immediate left and half walked have sprinted down to the elevators. Not surprising they were turned off. It makes sense that they would deactivate them with an active shooter on the premises. It Would be harder for them to get to a different floor. We headed over to the door for the stairs and headed through. Neither of us knew exactually which floor the NICU was on, so we decided to go to the highest level and work our way down. Along the way we stopped so Kyle could smash the glass on the fire ax box that was in each stairwell. He took the ax and led us the rest of the way up the steps. We went through the access door once we reach the top and walked through. We found ourselves in a hallway with doors every six feet or so on each side. I walked up to one of them an read the plaque on the wall. “LAB NUMBER THREE: REASEARCH AND DEVELEPOMENT”. Since the entire hall had these same type of rooms, we decided this was the wrong floor and there were no patients up here, s

Dr. Marsh and i exchanged looks before he told me to go lock myself in the bathroom. like that was going to fucking happen! There was currently someone inside the hospital shooting at people or something of that nature. There was no way i was going to stay here like a sitting duck. I sat up and slid off the bed. I located a bag in one of the chairs with my cell phone, socks, and shoes. I pulled out and put on the socks and shoes than I tried calling Shane. The phone just went to voicemail. The same thing when I called Natasha than Tony. I figured I would try calling Kyle even though I knew it was a long shot since he just had surgery. I was very surprised when he answered on the second ring in a very hushed voice. “Miss Emma! You are okay! Thank the Gods. I would ask about the babies and your health but right now we got a problem. Did you hear those gun shots and those people yelling?” Kyle asked me in one breath. I rolled my eyes and said, “Of course I heard it. I’m in the surgery w
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 131
My eyes grew wide as the realization of what Dr. Marsh just said to me sunk in. two friends went into surgery and only one made it out alive! I knew one of them had to be Kyle. We did our best to make sure his wound was closed but as far as I knew he was the only one hurt. Who the fuck died! “Dr. Marsh. I only knew of one of my friends who was hurt so let us start with the good news first. Who made it out of surgery?”Dr. Marsh looked at me with pity in his eyes. I did not like the way he was looking at me it made feel uneasy like he was about to tell me my word was over. Which I guess could be possible if the person he told me died was Shane. It could not be him! I hated not knowing what happened and I could not take much more of this. If it was the love of my life, I do not think I would ever be able to bring myself to get out of the hospital bed.“Miss White, I apologize I thought you knew about both your friends. Who would you like to hear about first?” Dr. Marsch asked me sadly.
