“I really don’t have time for this, I have to go.” She said, and then she started to leave again, making up her mind that she would not turn back no matter what he said again, only this time, it wasn’t his voice that stopped her, it was his hand. She shivered, a crawling feeling went down her body, and she felt like peeling off the skin of the place he had touched. Yanking her arm from his hand, she took several steps back from him and put up a disgusted look on her face. “Don’t you dare ever touch me again in your life. You hear me?” she asked him. Roy jumped back as if she had spat at him, and he raised both his hands up in surrender. “Just so you understand me as clearly as I mean the words coming out of my mouth, I'll say this again. Don't you ever dare act as if you know me again, if you ever run into me, just pretend you don’t know me, act as if we've never meant anything at all to each other." She paused to shake her has and smiled. "You’re not even remorseful or ashamed of
It was late when he got back, but he didn't think the house would be as quiet as it was. He dropped his bag on the floor of the hall and walked to the kitchen. As he entered, he walked to the fridge in the partial darkness, the only light coming from the ray of moonlight from outside. Everything was in shadows, but he was able to walk around it. Soon, the security light from outside would be turned on, and it would reflect into the kitchen as it moved around from the security tower on the east side of the house. He got out a bottle of water and threw his head back to drink his to his full, not minding to grab a cup. He was that thirsty. Going from one meeting to another had just about dried him off his strength and made him so perched, that he drank almost all the content of the bottle. Summer and Spring would be asleep by now, seeing as he had already talked with them after dinner over a video call that Ruby had prompted, which reminded him that he needed to go see her. He had re
“Geez, Ruby. Why are you trying to kill me?” she heard him ask and she realized who it was, and then she opened her eyes to see him clearly, the light from outside shining in. “Oh, Cameron. You almost gave me a fright.” She said, even though he had practically given her more than a fright. She had almost had a heart attack when she realized someone was in the house. She was right when she said that it wasn't anyone from the people she knew who had gone to bed. “Huh, am I supposed to apologize to you for almost breaking my head?” he asked, collecting the club completely from her hand and dropping it at his side. “Oh yes, you should. Why were you in the dark for goodness sake? You could have been anyone, a thief even.” She said. “But I'm not!” “And I should have given you the opportunity to turn out to be before swinging the club I supposed.” She asked in sarcasm. “That’s definitely not what I meant. I was just too close to you killing me, that's all.” He sighed, rubbing his head
The work for today was almost done, and he would be able to meet with the private detective as planned. He needed to find out who Roy was, whatever he was up to, all the dirt that he could dig up on him, something, anything to use to keep him away from Ruby. Pushing that to the back of his mind, he focused on the file in front of him. He was tired and the fatigue was from not taking a break to have anything to eat and working since he got to the office this morning. He had gone from meeting to meeting today, with no break until it was done, and immediately after, well, after taking a few minutes to go to the bathroom, he had resumed working on the files on his table. He had asked his secretary about a few minutes ago to get something he could munch on quickly for him downstairs or in the coffee room if she had something to do and was still expecting her back, so when he heard a knock sounded on his door, and his secretary poked her head in, he thought she was bringing in what he had
Cameron squinted his eyes with a frown, and he wondered if this was about his relationship with Ruby, his children’s nanny, and himself, but he hoped that she wasn’t going to say something that would anger him. She might be his mother, but he wasn’t going to let her say anything bad about her, or about his relationship with her. He wasn’t looking for anyone’s approval to be with him, and no matter what she said, he was going to stay with her. He refused to say anything and waited for what she would say next. “I heard you have someone you're dating now, someone that helped convince your investors about a deal.” She said. “Yes, mother.” He said, not offering any more explanation to that effect. There was nothing to say just yet, he needed to know everything she knew and what she was thinking before he could say anything. “Oh, I see. So you're seriously not going to say anything about it.” She said. "You should though, because hearing this from another person isn't as nice as it may
Detective Gomez loved working for Mr. MacMillan, and he had always been his go to detective, he knew that and that was why he loved being on his retainer. It was one of the reasons he was working for him, his ability to keep work as confidential as possible. This wasn’t the first case he had worked on for him, but this seemed like it was important because of the way he had stressed on making sure he stayed hidden. The job was to find out everything he could about a cop, any dirt if there was one. When they had met yesterday, he had told him that he needed him to make things snappy with what he was asked to find and the things he was already starting to discover were a lot more interesting than all of the things he had worked on for him combined. They would be meeting today and he would be telling him everything he had found so far, and to work as silently as possible because he didn’t want his parents to find out what he was doing. It would only lead them to be curious about why he
Cameron would be going out later in the evening to meet Detective Gomez, as scheduled. He could have waited for his appointment to be over and met with him, or even allow him to come home but he didn’t want anyone to know that he was meeting a detective, especially Ruby. Speaking of, he needed to see her. She was the reason he had left work to come home first before going to his appointment with the detective because he was still worried about her. He knew that she had not been eating, neither was she taking her pills, so he had to come home to see her. He was really worried about her, and he hated that the man was getting to her this much. This was making him so curious and wondering how much feeling she had for him left, or what exactly happened between them. To be honest, he was confused, but he knew she said she didn't have any feelings for him anymore, and that at least he could believe. There was still something there though, only she wasn't sure what it was. If truth be told
Cameron sat there dumbfounded, not sure if it was possible for him to believe everything Detective Gomez had just told him. Of course, he would be needing proof which he was asking for a few days to find, but he wanted him to know about it, and have an inkling of what he had found. He wouldn't gain anything by lying to him, and if he was already trying to find him proof, then he should know it was the truth. The only problem now was not sure if he would ever understand how all of those things happened right under his nose without ever knowing. What he had asked the detective to find was anything he could use to destroy Ruby’s ex, but what he found was a little bit different from that. According to him, he had found out that the man knew his mother and they had met a few times in the past in secret as if she was having an affair with him. Cameron knew his mother, she could be slightly different from other mothers, or even other wives, but he had always thought that it was because of
