~Ruby's POV~"Good evening, Ruby. I’ve been expecting your call."The voice on the other end was calm and steady, yet it felt unsettlingly familiar in a way I couldn’t identify. My heart raced as a wave of unease washed over me."Who is this?" I demanded, masking the nervous tremble in my voice."It doesn't matter right now," she replied in a clipped yet certain tone. "What matters is what I know… what your Aunt Jean knew and wanted you to find out."I tightened my grip on the phone, feeling my whole body tense up. "You knew Aunt Jean?""Meet me at Collins Garden and Park in 120 minutes, alone," she said, ending the call before I could ask another question.The silence that followed was deafening.I sat on my bed, the phone still pressed to my ear, long after the call had ended. My thoughts raced. Who is she? How does she know Aunt Jean? And the bigger question: Why does she want to meet me now?I glanced at the clock. It was 6:43 PM. If I was going, I had just under two hours to prep

~Ruby's POV~The weekend had started early, with the three of us tackling the house like a team preparing for battle. I watched Rhett and little Ruby buzzing around the house, half laughing and half bickering, but surprisingly, they were getting things done.“Why are you both here? Are you done cleaning your room?” I asked, catching them loitering in the hallway.“Sure, Mum… we definitely are,” Little Ruby said with a wide grin that seemed too perfect.I narrowed my eyes at her suspiciously.“We honestly are… want to take a look?” Rhett chimed in, crossing his arms with confidence.The look in their eyes made me pause. Could they actually be telling the truth?“No need for that… I'll take your word for it,” I said, testing them with a smile.“Seriously, Mum?” Rhett asked, clearly surprised.“Not at all. Lead the way to your room,” I said, watching their faces fall.When we reached the door, Little Ruby swung it open with a dramatic flourish. “See? All neat and clean,” she declared pro

“So, what do you say, Ruby?” Roman asked.“Hmmm… I’ll think about it. But today, I’m staying home,” I held firm.“Alright then… if you say so, Mum,” Little Ruby said, her voice tinged with disappointment. “Just don’t regret missing out on all the fun.”I crouched down to their level, smoothing Little Ruby’s hair and giving Rhett’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “Did you forget anything?”“Even if they did, we could just get a new one,” Roman chimed in, his casual confidence unshakable.I rolled my eyes but smiled. “Alright. See you three in two days.”Little Ruby and Rhett threw their arms around me in a tight hug, clinging as if they were going off to another country instead of just a day or two away.“That’s enough. Off you go now,” I said, gently pulling away.“Bye, Mum,” they chorused, their excitement bubbling back as they headed out the door.I followed them to the car, watching Roman load their bags into the trunk. He gave me a long, thoughtful glance before nodding, his lips c

~Roman's POV~The sound of laughter filled the living room as Rhett and Little Ruby sat on the floor, their eyes glued to the TV screen. Kai sat on the couch, leaning back smugly as another animated fight scene unfolded.“This is so cool,” Little Ruby said excitedly.“Kai has great taste in cartoons,” Rhett added, nodding in approval.Kai smirked. “You think this is good? Wait till you see what’s next on my list. I have masterpieces lined up.”“Don’t get carried away,” I said, leaning back in the armchair.Kai shot me a playful glare. “Finally, someone appreciates my work, and now I’m being told not to get carried away? Do you know how much effort it takes to curate perfection?”“Cartoon selection isn’t exactly a groundbreaking skill,” I teased, scoffing.Before Kai could retaliate, my phone buzzed on the side table. I glanced at the screen and saw Ruby’s name flashing. A smile tugged at my lips—this was unexpectedly expected.“Hold on,” I said, picking up the phone and stepping into

“This is bad Ruby, this is really bad.” I said, running a hand through my hair. My mind raced as I tried to figure out our next move.“Is she going to be okay?” Ruby asked, her voice trembling.“Barely,” I said, my throat tightening. “We need to move fast.” I handed her my car keys. “Go open the car doors.”I scooped Bronwyn into my arms, her weight surprisingly light, and carried her out of the house. Ruby held the door open as I gently laid Bronwyn across the back seat.As we drove off, Ruby kept glancing back at Bronwyn’s unconscious form.“This doesn’t feel real,” she whispered.“Stay calm,” I said, gripping the steering wheel tightly. “We’ll get her to the hospital, and they’ll take care of her.”“No,” Ruby said abruptly, turning to face me.I shot her a quick glance, confused. “No? What do you mean, no?”“She told me not to take her to a hospital,” Ruby said, her voice firm but laced with fear.“That doesn’t make any sense, Ruby,” I said, my frustration bubbling up. “She’s injur

“Mum!” Little Ruby’s voice rang out, shattering the quiet.I stirred, groaning softly as I blinked my eyes open, disoriented. Little Ruby stood in front of me, her wide grin splitting her face. Behind her, Rhett peeked over her shoulder, his expression equally eager.“Hey… what’s going on?” I mumbled, trying to sit up. My body felt heavy, and my head was still foggy from sleep.“I knew you’d change your mind,” Rhett said excitedly.“What do you mean change my mind?” I asked, confused.“So this was your plan all along, huh, Mum?” Little Ruby said, narrowing one eye suspiciously as she tilted her head.I blinked at her. “Plan? What plan?”“You waited for us to fall asleep, didn’t you?” Little Ruby continued, her voice dripping with mock accusation. “Then you and Roman had your fun—movies, games, maybe even… couples’ stuff!”I froze, my half-asleep brain struggling to process her words. “What are you talking about?”“And you both look so cute together!” Rhett added, cupping his face dram

~Little Ruby's POV~We got home, and our bags were so heavy I thought my arms would fall off. But Kai was waiting for us, and he came to help.“Back so soon?” Kai said, smiling as he grabbed a couple of bags.“Do you want us to spend the whole day there?” Roman asked, shaking his head.“Nope, not at all. Was just saying,” Kai teased. Then he peeked at the bags. “What did you get for me?”“Nothing in particular, but we got a lot of things!” I said proudly.“You can pick anything you want!” Rhett added.Kai chuckled as he looked at the pile of shopping bags. “A lot, I see. Thanks, you two.”Roman stretched, looking like he was already done with the day. “I’ll just head to my room and get a shower.”“Alright,” Mum said, nodding at him.“See you little ones later,” Roman said, heading upstairs.“Alright,” Mum said, turning to us. “And you two, off to your rooms. Make sure to take a shower before coming back.“Okay, Mum!” Rhett and I said together as we climbed the stairs.Rhett got to his

~Ruby's POV~I was lying on my bed, soaking in the quiet, when the door creaked open; Rhett and Little Ruby popped their heads inside. Their mischievous smiles were enough to set off alarms in my head.“Hey, Mum. What are you doing?” Rhett asked casually. “Umm… nothing, exactly. Just trying to relax,” I said cautiously, narrowing my eyes at them.“Oh, that’s nice. What a coincidence,” Little Ruby said, her voice too sweet to be trusted.“Coincidence?” I asked, sitting up. “What are you two planning?”"Well... we were thinking the same thing too. So... you can relax outside—with us,” she added, her grin broadening.“No. Not a chance.” I shook my head firmly, but they didn’t even flinch.“Come on, Mum! You can even swim with us,” Rhett chimed in.“Oh… so that’s why you’re both dressed like that?” I asked, eyeing their swimsuits.“Exactly! Trust us, it’ll be fun,” Little Ruby said, bouncing on her toes.“Remember, I can’t swim, guys,” I said, raising an eyebrow.“Oh… that's true. But th

~Roman's POV~I sat at my desk, my fingers hovering over the keyboard as I watched Kai scroll through the files on his laptop. He had been analysing the documents Ruby had retrieved, occasionally muttering something under his breath.The room was quiet, aside from the soft hum of the air conditioning and the rhythmic tapping of Kai’s fingers against the keys. I was about to return my focus to my own work when my phone beeped.I picked it up, giving the screen a quick glance—Ruby’s name flashed across it.I almost looked away, assuming it was just an update about the kids, but then my eyes caught the message.“Do you mind giving me a massage?”I froze.My brows furrowed as I read it again. Then again.Was she joking?I blinked a few times, making sure I wasn’t seeing things. But no, the words remained the same.My lips curled into an amused smile. So this was happening.But… I paused. What if it was a prank? Then I asked myself, what if it wasn’t?Deciding to play along, I typed back,

~Little Ruby's POV~“But how do we get Mom’s phone?”I tapped my chin, thinking hard. And then, just like that, an idea popped into my head.“Oh, I know exactly how we’re gonna do it.” I grinned mischievously. “Operation Relaxation is a go!” I grinned mischievouslyRhett gave me a questioning look. “Well? What’s the plan?”“That’s very simple.” I grinned. “We just tell her we need to check something out.”Rhett facepalmed. “Little Ruby, that’s why we have our tablets!”“Oh… right.” I scrunched up my nose, realizing my mistake. “Okay, okay, new plan.”Rhett sighed, but his eyes twinkled with amusement. “What if one of us acts like we need help with something?”“Oooh! And while she’s distracted, the other one grabs her phone and quickly send out the text message!” I finished excitedly.“Exactly.” Rhett nodded. “But I have to be the one who needs help.”I tilted my head. “Why does it have to be you?”“Because if you ask for help, she’ll just tell me to check it out.”I gasped. “Oh my go
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 119. Relaxation...
~Little Ruby's POV~I pushed open Rhett’s door and peeked inside. He was lying on his bed, eyes glued to his tablet, fingers tapping away.“What are you doing, Rhett?” I asked, stepping in and closing the door behind me.“Just relaxing,” he mumbled, not even looking up.I frowned. “But you’re playing a game.”“Yeah, and?”“That’s not relaxing. Relaxing means doing nothing—just sitting still, breathing, and being peaceful,” I explained, hopping onto his bed.Rhett finally paused his game and looked at me with one raised eyebrow. “That’s your definition of relaxing?”I nodded. “I think so.”He smirked. “There are lots of ways to relax, Ruby. Watching movies, going for a walk, praying, exercising, meditating, getting a massage—”“Massage?” I giggled.“Yes, massage,” Rhett said, rolling his eyes. “But for me, relaxing means playing my games.”I hummed, pretending to think really hard about it. “Hmm… I see.”Rhett sighed. “I know you already know all this. You just wanted to disturb me.”I
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 118. The Flash Drive...
~Ruby's POV~The drive back to Roman’s house was quiet, the hum of the engine filling the space between my thoughts. I kept glancing at the kids in the rearview mirror—Little Ruby staring out the window, lost in thought, and Rhett fiddling with his seatbelt absentmindedly. When we pulled into the driveway, the kids immediately perked up. “We’re home!” Little Ruby announced as she unbuckled her seatbelt.We stepped inside, the warmth of the house wrapping around us. Roman was already waiting in the living room, his arms crossed but a soft smile on his face.“Hey… how are you doing?” he asked, his gaze lingering on me, searching for any sign that something was wrong.“I’m good,” I answered.He turned his attention to the kids, crouching down slightly as they ran to him. “And what about you two?”“We’re fine, Roman!” they chorused, practically bouncing with excitement.“We had so much fun today!” Little Ruby beamed.“Oh, I see,” Roman said, ruffling her hair. “That’s good to know.”The

~Ruby's POV~“What could be on this?” I whispered to myself. The answer felt just out of reach, tantalizing but terrifying.The sound of footsteps snapped me out of my thoughts. I shoved the flash drive inside my pocket, then put the box back in the vent, and hurriedly pushed the wardrobe back into place.“Ruby?” Uncle Evan’s voice startled me, and I spun around to see him standing in the doorway, his brows furrowed in confusion.“Uncle Evan!” I said, forcing a smile as I tried to steady my breathing. “Good afternoon.”His eyes scanned the room before settling on me. “What are you doing in here?”“I… I was on my way to the bathroom,” I stammered, pointing vaguely down the hall. “But I wanted to come in and… uhm… you know, take a look. I hope you don’t mind.”“Of course not, Ruby.” His gaze softened slightly, though there was still a hint of suspicion in his eyes. “It’s strange, isn’t it? Being in here without her.”I nodded, swallowing hard. “Yeah. I miss her so much.”He sighed, his
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 116. Secret Vent...
~Ruby's POV~The sun streamed through the windscreen as I steered the car along the winding streets. It was one of those mornings when the world felt alive—everything aglow under the golden rays. Little Ruby and Rhett’s laughter bubbled up from the backseat, their chatter a light, melodic rhythm that warmed my heart.“Are we really going to see Aunt Keely and Esperanza?” Little Ruby asked, her face practically glowing with excitement.“Yes, we are,” I said with a soft smile, glancing at her in the rearview mirror.“Do you think they’ll let us build a fort in the living room?” she asked, leaning forward in her seat.Rhett scoffed, nudging her with his elbow. “The backyard’s better. Bigger space for a proper fort—and better hiding spots.”I chuckled, shaking my head at their endless imaginations. “Whatever you decide to do, just make sure you listen to Aunt Keely and Esperanza, alright?”“Of course, Mommy!” they chorused in unison, their voices filled with playful mischief.The drive p
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 115. Heading Home...
~Ruby's POV~After breakfast, I grabbed my phone and dialed Keely’s number. The familiar dial tone filled the room before her voice answered, bright and warm.“Hey Ruby… good morning,” she greeted.“Hi Keely. How are you doing?”“Doing great, Ruby. What about little Ruby and Rhett?”“They’re doing well, thanks for asking,” I said with a small smile. “Are you free today, by any chance?”“Umm… yeah, I totally am. Why do you ask?”“I was thinking about bringing the kids over. You know, spend some time together, catch up a little.”“You are?” Keely’s tone lifted in surprise.“Yeah, you know… it’s been a while.”“Why not? Please come over, Ruby. I’d love that,” she said excitedly.“Thanks, Keely. I really appreciate it,” I replied.“Don’t mention it. You’re always welcome. Oh, and Esperanza?”“She's still asleep, I think,” Keely said.“That explains why she didn’t pick up when I called earlier,” I said, chuckling softly.“Yeah, she puts her phone on silent when she’s sleeping. I’ll let her
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 114. The Truth About...
~Roman's POV~I watched from the couch as Little Ruby, Rhett, and Kai stood back to admire their handiwork. The dining area sparkled under the soft glow of the overhead lights, the scent of dish soap still lingering faintly in the air.“Whoa… I think we did a great job here,” Kai said, crossing his arms and puffing out his chest like he’d just finished building a skyscraper.“Hmmm… I’m impressed,” Ruby said, leaning against the wall with a proud smile.“Welcome to the team, Kai,” Rhett said with mock seriousness, offering his small hand for a handshake.Kai crouched slightly to meet Rhett’s height and clasped his hand. “Thank you for having me. It’s an honour.”The formal tone of their exchange sent everyone into a fit of laughter. Even Ruby, who was clearly still a bit tired, couldn’t hold back her chuckles. Moments like these reminded me how much warmth and chaos this house had brought into my life.Once the laughter died down, we all made our way to the living room. The kids darte
The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy? 113. A Family Table...
"Are we going to keep staring at each other, or are you actually going to kiss me?" I whispered.Roman didn't need any more encouragement. He cupped my face, and our lips crashed together, sending a shiver down my spine. His hands were on my body, exploring every inch of me.My own hands were tangled in his hair, pulling him closer. I could feel his heart racing against my chest, his ragged breath on my neck.The tension between us was undeniable. It was like a fire, consuming us, making us forget about the world around us."Are you sure about this, Ruby?" Roman whispered, his voice thick with desire."I'm not. So go on before I change my mind."His eyes lit up, a sly grin tugging the corners of his mouth. "As you wish."And then his lips were on mine again, claiming them in a way that sent a wave of heat through my body. I lost myself in the moment, in the feeling of his touch, his scent, his taste.My mind was swimming with desire, and the only thing that mattered was being with him
