Not Part Of His Plan Seventy Three
She was sad, and she had been since the day before yesterday when she had taken the kids out. Although, she had tried as much as she could to make sure that the kids didn't notice the change in her mood, but she couldn't help feeling this now. Now, all she did was keep to herself and just go about her duty.It was after all, what she was here for. She knew quite well that she had to do her job well, well enough that there wouldn't be any chance to see a reason to get rid of her. That might not be what would happen but she was too sure she wanted to take a chance. Cameron hadn't said anything to her since then, not even a single word, and that not only worried but scared her. Had she been right about her first instinct of why he wanted her and was now showing it because he doesn't need her any longer? There were so many things going through her head that she just couldn't get answers to. It might sound like she was just overthinking things, but it wasn’t. She had even tried as much a

Sighing, she nodded. "Fine!” she said through gritted teeth and then watched him leave. When he was gone, she did as she was told, wondering why he wanted her to set out the food in the dining room they rarely used. They came into the room behind Cameron after she was done, and she saw he had changed into comfy clothes. The guests were two women and a man. They were equally dressed in jeans and a t-shirt and blouses. Once they sat down, one of the women asked Cameron. “Your maid sure looked beautiful. Was it Flora that recommended her?” Ruby looked at the woman, and then at Cameron, waiting for his reply. It was better to let him answer that than to make a fuss. The woman was beautiful, and she looked like she was rich, but she shouldn't have assumed she was the maid. “Oh,” Cameron looked at Ruby and then back at her. "She's not my maid. She's Summer and Spring’s nanny.” He said. Ruby waited for him to say more, but he didn't. She looked at him, but he refused to look at her. Oh

Things were back to normal back at home, but that wasn’t what was disturbing Cameron as he sat behind his desk that afternoon. He had received a mail from Detective Gomez about what he had found. In his mail were the details of what he had found about Roy and the numerous things that could be used against him, like his flawed work ethics and so on. This was good, he thought as he rubbed his temple. Damn, he was spotting a nasty headache, but he couldn't blame it, he had been working nonstop since he got to the office this morning. He wanted to be as fast as he could about work so that he would leave early and go home to dinner with his best friend and family. Lee had called him during the five minutes break they had in the meeting this morning to let him know they would be coming over. That was good because it had been a while since they got together for that. There was surely space for getting together like this once in a while if they find the time. “I really miss eating dinner

“Interesting. I see you grabbing her hand. Is something going on?” Lee's voice pulled Ruby's eyes away from Cameron. After she had set the table and started to walk to the other space at the end of the table to take her seat, he grabbed her, telling her to seat with him instead of going there. She froze, fear coming into her widened eyes as she looked from Lee to Flora, as they watched them. The kids were also looking at her as she stood there. “Get it together, Ruby. You’re looking as if you got caught hiding something. Speak, you're not dumb.” Her brain said to her. “Huh, sorry?” she asked, closing her widened eyes back to normal to keep a straight face, and then she looked away from both Lee and Flora.“I see Cameron grabbing you, I'm asking if there's something going on.” He said. Although she wasn’t looking at him anymore, she could hear the smile in his words, which meant that he was finding this amusing. Was it possible that Cameron had told him about them? He was his bes

They sat in front of the fire that Cameron lit on the balcony of his room, on the recliner, in each other’s arms. He had had the recliner custom made and brought just for the purpose of sharing it with Ruby, looking at the moonlight and talking about their day. Although, this was their first time together like this but he was looking forward to many other nights like this one. Smiling, he glanced at the woman in his arms to see her staring up at the sky with her focus unwavering. He could tell that she had something on her mind, something he wanted to understand and get in on. Instead of wondering what it was or might be, he decided it was better to ask her what it was that was on her mind, and that was what he did. “A penny for your thought, baby? What's going on in that pretty head of yours?” he asked. Ruby looked down from the sky and then she glances at him from over her shoulder, before turning in his arms to face him. "It's nothing important.” She said simply, but he knew t

Cameron frowned. That name wasn’t common, but he sure knew it. "Wait, do you mean it's C.M. Yeḥezqel?” As he asked the question, he hoped that he was wrong and that she would disagree and insist that it was what she had said it was. But, when Ruby gasped with her eyes widened, he knew that was it, and it was the name. But how could that be? C.M. Yeḥezqel was his name.Okay, to be more clear about that, when he was in high school and was trying to rebel, he started to paint, getting into it even when he wasn’t good and his parents were against it. He thought of a name to use that wouldn't make people know it was him, even though he wanted his own family to know it was him, he decided to use his name in another way. The C.M. meant Cameron MacMillan and Yeḥezqel was his Christian and middle name in the Hebrew language. So, that was how he came up with the name, C.M. Yeḥezqel. After a while, he stopped rebelling against his parents and then he scrapped the name. Although he loved it, an

“I think someone in my family knows something about all this.” He said and Ruby gasped. What in the world was he talking about? And she asked him that much. This was really not funny if that was what he was trying for, but she knew it was not. There was no humor on his face or in his eyes. He was damn serious about this. Why would he think that? And he had talked about how his name was the name she had seen on the package those years ago. How would that be his name, when she knew his…Oh wait, she knew he was called Cameron Ezekiel MacMillan, so maybe the first name and surname were turned into the initials, and then the Hebrew name was… Damn it, she wasn’t sure what that meant. All she had done was look up how to pronounce it, and not what it meant. When Cameron saw the confusion in her eyes, he decided to explain the name part and why he thought someone he knew was behind the payment of her school fees. But the reason was still so very unknown to him. “What do you think all of

Ruby sat in Cameron’s office at the house and waited for the detective to start whatever it was he was trying to say. He had arrived about ten minutes ago, and Cameron had requested her to be there because she had something to do with what they had discussed. “First of all, Mr. MacMillan. Are you sure you want her to be here for this?” he asked, glancing at her, and then he said. "I mean, I could explain it to you, and then you can talk to her about it later.” Ruby wondered what he was trying to hide from her and she was glad that Cameron had called her in as well. Whatever it was, they would hear it together. After that night, which was a whole week ago, she had been getting nervous about what the findings could be, or how long it might take, but now that it was here, then she would get the closure she had always wanted, the one she desperately needed. “Don’t worry, detective. This is about her more than it is about me.” He said to him as he settled against the couch she also sat
