As Monroe hurried out of the room, Tara went into the bathroom and wet her hair. Meanwhile, Ruby remained in the same spot, listening to the shower rushing. Ruby’s mind whirred, each thought sharp and urgent. Tara’s plan had unfolded like a slow, venomous whisper. Betrayal, murder, and fire—each word etched a clearer picture of the danger she was in. She couldn’t let herself become a casualty of someone else’s scheme. Even if Hector deserved every bit of the hell coming his way, why did she have to die with him? Why did Camila have to pay the price too? Earlier, Hector had taunted her, dangling a cruel promise that she would die alongside Gray. She couldn’t let that be her fate. The only way out was to run. Ruby’s knuckles turned white as she gripped the edge of the bed frame. She had to move. After a while, the door creaked open, and Tara bolted out of the room, her wet hair plastered against her cheeks, playing the part of the oblivious sister. Ruby waited, every second stre

Ruby clung to Camila, her tears wetting the shoulder of her friend's dirt-streaked top. Her sobs echoed through the dimly lit room, a harsh contrast to the silence of the room. The only response came from Hector, his slow, deliberate clapping breaking through the grief-stricken embrace. “Wow, such a touching display of love, loyalty, and friendship,” Hector said, his voice dripping with mock admiration. His lips curled into a smirk, a predator savoring the distress of his prey. He turned to his men, all of whom stood at attention with expressions as blank as a fresh grave. “Aren't you guys impressed?” They nodded in unison, puppets on Hector’s strings. Their eyes remained cold, devoid of the humanity that Ruby had always believed resided in every person. But these weren’t men; they were shadows—extensions of Hector’s cruelty. Ruby’s wide eyes darted from face to face, searching for a glimmer of sympathy, but found none. Her gaze landed on Tara and Monroe, standing off to the s

“Please, please,” Ruby kept on crying, her voice desperate. “Please, I’m begging you. She just wanted to save me because we are like sisters. Please, do not hurt her.” Camila, still kneeling across the room, became silent. Her head hung low, a few strands of hair obscuring her face. The men surrounding her stood still, their eyes shifting between Ruby and Hector as if watching a game unfold. Hector allowed Ruby's pleas to fill the room. His fingers drummed lazily against his pants, a counterpoint to Ruby’s frantic sobs. He raised a hand, and the men holding Camila at the door nodded, their grips loosening just enough to keep her upright but not free. “Hold on,” Hector said, his voice a cold whisper that silenced the room. He studied Ruby, his head tilted as if she were an insect pinned under glass. “Are you truly ready to be my dog?” “Yes,” Ruby choked out. “I swear. I’ll do anything. Anything you want.” Hector straightened, his lips pulling into a slow, serpentine smile. “I

After chopping off Don Gray’s hand from his wrist, Ruby staggered backward, the weight of the axe slipping from her trembling hands. The metallic clang of the blade against the concrete floor echoed in the room. Blood splattered her face, neck, and hands, its warmth turning cold against her skin. Her stomach churned, and she felt a wave of nausea rising, but she swallowed it down, focusing on the only thing that mattered—Camila. Her body shivered uncontrollably as she moved toward her friend. Each step felt heavier, as if the blood on her skin had turned to chains, binding her to the horror she had just committed. Camila, who knew all too well how much Ruby despised the sight of blood, immediately rose from where she had been kneeling. “Ruby...” Camila whispered, her voice filled with concern. She hurried forward, steadying Ruby with gentle hands. Without hesitation, she turned Ruby around and tore off a strip of her T-shirt. The fabric ripped cleanly, and Camila began wiping the

Camila drew in a shaky breath, the gravity of what she was about to say pressing down on her. She glanced at Ruby, whose eyes were red and swollen, her body exhausted from the earlier ordeal. But before Camila could speak, the door swung open, and Hector walked in, his presence filling the room with an oppressive weight. He moved with a quiet menace, his sharp eyes sweeping over them before he returned to his collection of sharp tools. His fingers traced the blades, his expression unreadable. He paused, a flicker of surprise crossing his face as he realized all his tools were still in place. He had expected Camila to make a move, to snatch a knife and lunge at him. His men had been stationed just outside, ready to storm in and subdue her. Yet, nothing had happened. Camila had remained still, patient, and obedient. He couldn't understand why. He straightened, his fingers brushing against the leather strap of his tool belt. “You surprise me, Camila. I thought for sure you’d try so

Ruby sat still on the bed, her eyes fixed on Hector as he rested in the chair beside her. Though his eyes were closed, she knew he wasn’t fully asleep. She could sense his awareness, the subtle tension in his posture that betrayed his readiness to react. It was better she started working on her plan, rather than dwelling on her grief. No matter what, she was going to gain Hector's trust. That would be her first step. She rose from the bed, her movements slow and unsteady, determined to keep up the facade she had settled on. She walked toward the bathroom, her bare feet padding softly against the floor. She pushed open the door, letting it close gently behind her. The moment she disappeared from view, Hector’s eyes opened. His dark gaze remained fixed on the closed door, his body still but alert. He had noticed when she woke, had seen the silent tears that slipped down her face. His mind replayed the earlier events...the chaos, the bloodshed, the look on Ruby’s face as she swung

Inside the bathroom, Ruby gripped the edges of the sink, her knuckles white against the porcelain. The cold water had washed away the blood and grime, but it could not cleanse the anger simmering beneath her skin. She stared at her reflection, her own eyes staring back at her....empty, hollow, but still burning. 'You can do this,' she told herself. 'You have to.' Her plan was nearly complete, but she needed Camila's input. She had to make sure whatever she did would keep Camila safe. Her mind raced, piecing together fragments of overheard conversations between Tara and Monroe. They had talked about something extremely important and if she could use that information, it might become her advantage. 'It’s dangerous,' she thought. But there was no turning back. She had seen the way Hector looked at her. The hint of desire in his eyes would be her entry point. As much as she hated what she was about to do, she could not bring herself to turn back. She opened the bathroom door

Hector laid at the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on Ruby's back as she lay still, her breathing steady and rhythmic. He was convinced that there was more to Ruby than met the eye. He couldn’t shake the feeling that behind her closed lids, her mind was spinning webs—planning, plotting. 'I’ll figure you out,' he thought. It wouldn’t be difficult. Not with Camila nearby. People with connections or attachments were the easiest to break. He had learned that early in life. His enemies’ strength often lay in their relationships, and that strength could quickly become a weakness. He checked his watch. The hours were slipping by, bringing him closer to the moment he had been waiting for—the execution of Don Gray. The old man was barely holding on. Hector had made sure of that. His death would not be swift or merciful. It would be a reminder to everyone of what happened when they crossed Hector Morales. He moved quietly through the room, slipping out without a backward glance. Outside

As soon as they got into the car, Hector turned to his underling. "Where are we headed?" he asked, his voice calm. The underling hesitated. "It's not something I can explain," he finally said. "I just need to show you." Hector's brows lifted slightly. Mysterious. He didn’t like mysteries. Especially not when they involved him. Because he had been betrayed before, Hector never fully trusted anyone. Not his enemies. Not his underlings. And definitely not the woman sleeping in his bed. Since this one refused to disclose what they were going to find, Hector decided to let him have his way. But at the same time, he discreetly prepared his weapon. If this was a trap, he would deal with it immediately. And if his underling was up to no good? Well… he wouldn’t live to see another sunrise. When the car finally came to a stop, Hector frowned. A cemetery. He stepped out slowly, scanning the area. The air was still. His underling pointed ahead. "Read what’s writt
Will You Marry Me? 147: A Game Of Deception
As the plane soared through the skies, Ruby stayed close to Hector. She blamed herself. She had made a mistake. She had allowed too many emotions to slip through. And because of that, Hector hadn’t fallen completely into her hands yet. She needed to fix it. She needed to convince him that she was hopelessly, unconditionally in love with him. So, she adjusted. She rested her hands on his shoulder, leaned into him, laughed at everything he said...even the things that weren’t funny. She hugged him whenever she had the chance, looked at him with admiration, and spoke to him in the softest, sweetest tone. Hector watched her carefully, but he didn’t pull away. Instead, he let her play her game. When they made their first stop to refuel, Ruby turned to him with a small smile. "I need to take you somewhere," she said. Hector raised a brow. "Where?" She simply smiled. "Just trust me." Hector leaned back in his seat, smirking. Trust? That was something he was n
Will You Marry Me? 146: A Web Of Lies And Secrets
Ruby stood frozen, her entire world shrinking to the sight of Eduardo and Selina. Her mind raced. Every betrayal. Every lie. Every moment they had crushed her. She could still hear the cold way Eduardo had spoken to her the last time they met. She could still remember the way she had received the news of her father’s death. And now he was here. Laughing. Holding Selena like she was the love of his life. Like she hadn't destroyed everything Ruby ever had. Her fingers dug deeper into Hector’s hand, unaware of the blood that had begun to surface. Hector, on the other hand, remained composed. He turned slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping the beach before he gestured for one of his men to approach. As the underling leaned in, Hector spoke in a low voice. “See the man in white? The one looking lovingly at the woman in the pink playsuit?” The underling nodded. “Get close to them. Find out his name. Take a picture of him...discreetly.” The man gave a subtle nod befor
Will You Marry Me? 145: A Dangerous Game
The silence in the room stretched for minutes. Hector sat on the edge of the bed, watching Ruby carefully. Then, without a word, he picked up the plate. He held out a spoonful of food. “Eat.” Ruby hesitated, shaking her head. “I meant what I said...I really don’t have much of an appetite.” Hector didn’t budge. “I’m not asking, Ruby. Just eat a little. You’re going to break down if you keep this up.” She sighed, looking away. He exhaled. “You know, I left an important meeting for you. I don’t do things like this. I don’t sit by anyone’s bedside and care for them. But here I am.” She looked at him, eyes soft. “Thank you.” His jaw clenched. “I don’t want your thanks, Ruby. I want your honesty.” His gaze locked onto hers. “Are you still hurt by Don Gray’s death?” She frowned. “No.” “Were you in love with him?” She stiffened at the question. Then, without hesitation, she swore on her life. “I despised that man, Hector. With a passion. And now that he’s dead?” Sh
Will You Marry Me? 144: Ghosts Of the Past
Hector had barely been gone an hour when Ruby stirred from sleep. She sat up slowly, hugging her knees to her chest. She felt a sadness so deep, so consuming, that it left her breathless. She didn't know how long she stayed like that, curled up on the bed, lost in thoughts. But then a soft knock came at the door. The housekeeper entered, carrying a warm smile. “Good, you’re awake,” she said gently before turning to leave. A few minutes later, she returned with a tray of food. The aroma filled the air, rich and inviting, but Ruby barely glanced at it. "I don’t really have much of an appetite," she murmured. The housekeeper placed the tray in front of her and gave her a knowing look. "You should try it. It’s nice.” Ruby sighed, feeling too tired to argue. "Thank you," she said quietly. She picked up the spoon and had a taste. And then a memory hit her. She was sick. Feverish. Weak. She had been lying in bed, waiting for the family doctor to arrive. At that ti
Will You Marry Me? 143: The Journey To Baros Maldives
After watching Don Gray’s body disappear, Ruby turned and walked away. She didn’t look back. She made her way to Hector’s room. Hector followed her, his sharp gaze fixed on her back. He expected something....a reaction, a flicker of emotion. But she was quiet. Too quiet. Hector prided himself on understanding people. He could break them, twist them, strip them down to their very core and know what made them tick. But her? She was an enigma. What was she thinking? Was she disturbed by Don Gray’s death? Did she regret anything? He hated this uncertainty. Hated that he even cared. In the past, he would have used pain to get the answers he wanted. A knife. A whip. A gun to the temple. But now? The thought of hurting her made him sick. The realization burned inside him like a slow fire. He clenched his fists, forcing himself to speak. "Are you okay?" Ruby looked at him, her expression calm. “I’m fine.” A lie. But he didn’t push. Instead, he changed
Will You Marry Me? 142: The Waiting Game
Ruby watched in silence as Don Gray's screams faded into nothing. His body twisted and convulsed in agony until the fire consumed him completely. His last movement was a desperate, futile roll across the floor....then stillness. The room smelled of burning flesh and smoke. Hector took one last glance at the charred corpse, then waved his hand. “Dump him in the river,” he ordered, his voice devoid of emotion. The men moved at once, hauling what was left of Don Gray away. But Camila was not there to witness it. She sat in her bathtub, submerged in warm water, yet feeling no warmth at all. Her mind was miles away, trapped in the past. She saw it again...the gun in her hand, her finger pulling the trigger, Hector flinching as the bullet grazed his hand. She had tried to stop him. Tried to save Ruby. But then Ruby had fallen at Hector's feet begging to be his dog, just to spare Camila. Camila squeezed her eyes shut, gripping the edges of the bathtub as nausea threate
Will You Marry Me? 141: The Flames Of Justice
A few hours later, Hector straightened his cufflinks and glanced at Ruby. “It’s time,” he said, his voice calm but carrying an edge of excitement. "Get ready." Ruby could tell this was important to him. The sharp suit. The polished shoes. The way his men stood straighter when he spoke. She dressed quickly, slipping into one of the red dresses he had given her. Almost all of them were red. She didn’t bother to ask why. She tied up her hair and stepped out. The same men from the last execution attempt were present and four more, with the exception of the dead ones were there as well. The air in the room was humming with silent anticipation. But this time, something had changed. Ruby was not thrown into a cage. She was not told to sit on the floor like an animal. Hector pulled out the chair beside him and motioned for her to sit. The men exchanged glances. They noticed. They understood. Ruby’s place in Hector’s world had shifted. No speech. No grand declaration. Hector simp
Will You Marry Me? 140: Take Me With You
After they left the torture chamber, Hector led Ruby back to his room. He stood by the door, watching her for a moment before speaking. “Get enough rest,” he said. “The time for Don Gray’s execution will arrive very soon.” Ruby’s lips curved into a small smile. “You already agreed that I would do the honors.” Hector smirked, shaking his head. She never forgot anything, did she? “I did,” he admitted. Then, for reasons he couldn’t quite explain, he added, “Is there anything you want?” Ruby blinked. “I feel like I still need to do something for you,” Hector continued, crossing his arms. “For putting your life on the line for me.” The words felt strange on his tongue. Since when did he care about repaying people like Ruby so much? More than that, why was he being so... considerate toward her? He knew he was attracted to her, but he wasn’t the kind of man who was unnecessarily kind to women. The idea alone made him uncomfortable. Still, he waited for her answer. Ruby
