Victor's fingers shifted the agenda from the iPad screen in his hand. He is with his driver, Jaxon. Jaxon is not just a personal driver for Victor. He also doubles as his secretary at the company."Do you think Ruby is happy there?" Victor said, lifting his head slightly to stare straight ahead. He could see Jaxon's facial expression in the reflection of the glass.Jaxon seemed to take a breath and then paused a little to look thoughtful. He only guessed at Miss Ruby's last expression, when Jaxon drove her to the airport; he felt that Ruby did not want to leave this city."I don't know for sure if Miss is happy. When will you be ready to contact her?" replied Jaxon boldly, looking into Victor's eyes from the reflection of the glass."No, no, not now, Jaxon; there are still many things I need to accomplish. I don't want to burden him with thinking about everything, he should be happy with his current environment," Victor replied. Returning his attention to the iPad."Do you intend to m
"Could you please focus on the food in front of you, honorable Mr. Antony?" rebuked Ruby, who was annoyed that Victor kept staring at her with the sound of forks scraping against plates. The screeching sound annoyed her."Don't mind me. Finish your meal; do you want more?" said Victor. He placed the fork in his hand and leaned back slightly with his arms crossed.Ruby also put down her spoon and fork. She pulled out the glass and gulped down all the water in the glass. The more Victor's eyes looked at her, the more Ruby misbehaved. Ruby was still keeping her pregnancy a secret from Victor, giving the excuse that she had a history of stomach ailments, making him stare at her relentlessly."Why did you stop? You said you were hungry? There's still a lot of food you haven't eaten," Victor said, pointing at the untouched plates. Victor couldn't believe Ruby's voracious appetite; the pile of plates almost filled the round table that could only accommodate two people."You asked me to eat.
Checkmate! Ruby, could no longer argue with Victor's words. The more she argued, the more Victor pulled out moves that Ruby could not defeat. The man in front of her was indeed very influential, which was also the main reason Ruby wanted Victor to keep their relationship hidden. At least until Ruby had graduated from this university, she didn't want others to think that all her achievements came easily, because she had a rich man behind her.Wait-wait for one more thing that is still lingering and almost forgotten. How did Victor find out that Ruby was pregnant? "How did you find out everything that happened to me?" Ruby asked again as they prepared to head home."You think I'm a stupid man? I wouldn't just let you go, without my supervision. It doesn't matter if you're on a different planet," Victor replied with a hand that opened the car door for Ruby. He even placed one hand on Ruby's head to avoid bumping her small head as she entered.****"Ruby, where has she been?" monologue E
"What are you doing here?" "What do you think?""Get out of my sight; I don't want you to disturb my life anymore.""Unfortunately, I can't. I can no longer give up on getting you; I'll tell your parents I'm much better than the bastard who humiliated you," Hiro whispered, smirking away his face after giving Carly's exposed neck a small peck.Carly's eyes widened as she felt abused, but all the servants' eyes looked at her shyly; they probably thought that Hiro was her future husband."Stop it, Hiro. I'm getting married; please don't ruin my life again.""Who wants to ruin it? I'm just proving to you that a man doesn't deserve to marry you," Hiro continued with one hand that he tucked into his pocket.Hiro pulled Carly's waist to bring their bodies closer together. "The dress is beautiful on you. Then I'll see you at your wedding," Hiro added as he left Carly after successfully kissing her cheek.Carly clenched her hands into fists. She held back her anger, looking at Hiro's body, wh
A beautiful dress, a gorgeous bouquet, and gorgeous make-up. It was a pity that a lone woman sat in the waiting room, which was also decorated so beautifully with fresh roses as if welcoming a special day for her.The sound of knocking on the door was heard again. Carly's eyes briefly glanced at the waiter who had entered near her. The waiter's face looked scared like something big had happened. But Carly still looked relaxed, even though her breathing was heavy."Excuse me, Miss--""My husband-to-be isn't coming," Carly cut in."He's not coming today. No need to worry, just let time pass," Carly continued without even looking at the waiter."But Miss, the guests are waiting for the ballroom," the waitress said with her head slightly bowed, her fingers squeezing the span skirt she was wearing."Let it be. Since there is no celebration today, you may leave now," Carly added with a sharp look at the waiter, who finally resigned and walked away.Tears fell down her cheeks. Carly's lips w
Nolan pulled a smile, knowing that the young woman in front of him was holding back fear. "I heard about you this morning. There seems to be a mistake that I need to clear up regarding your relationship with Mr. Victor Antony," Nolan said calmly."I'm sorry, what do you mean, Professor?" Ruby replied hesitantly."Mr. Victor Antony told me earlier. One of the students he knew received a scholarship here, so I asked him what the relationship was between him and the student. Mr. Antony told me that you are his future wife, and you know that Mr. Antony is the biggest donor at this university. But he asked me not to treat you too much; he didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable. But it seems that the rumors about you are triggering things to get worse," Professor Nolan explained in detail."Then what should I do? Are you going to expel me from the university and block my name from the list of students receiving scholarships?" Ruby thought the university's reputation would be ruined if s
Who wouldn't be worried when you hear that someone you love is under attack for false accusations? That's how Victor felt the first time he heard it, still needing to finish one problem. He had to hear about another problem that made him quickly fly to meet his woman.Victor would not let any lousy treatment come to Ruby. No matter how rich, great, or what titles were attached to their names. He would not let anyone breathe a sigh of relief after mistreating Rubyjane Antony."She must have been terrified. And she must be crying silently again," Victor thought. Victor was right. Ruby cried loudly when she arrived at her apartment, forcing Ruby to leave her class to avoid the rumors of infidelity that dragged her name. She also cried after receiving a wedding invitation envelope on her doorstep. Charlotte & Victor."Who should I trust? No one!" Ruby cried, still hugging her knees.She was crying with such a heartbreaking voice. Ruby was devastated; she was truly devastated, and now it
(Four years later) After that incident, Victor no longer sought Ruby's whereabouts. He lets Ruby be free with her choices, and Victor only focuses on developing his business and company and raising Rune. Although he was already 36 years old, and Rune was also four, Victor was not interested in getting married. There was a knock on the door, and Victor glanced at Jaxon, who came in. "What is it, Jaxon?" Victor said briefly."Mr. Leon Matthew committed suicide in prison," Jaxon explained briefly."Mmmh, isn't that what he wanted to do for a long time?" said Victor, who didn't care about the news Jaxon had brought."Mrs. Jena was also taken to a psychiatrist because of her mental problems," continued Jaxon."They deserve that after doing such evil things to me and Ruby," concluded Victor, who still hadn't forgotten what Jena had done to Ruby. The older woman had sent out invitations and spread rumors at the university, which angered Victor even more. When he found out that Professor N
