Prologue: The Accident

Five years ago Ruby smiled as she sat in her room with her phone in her face, as she talked to her parents. They were coming from the airport after a week in China. They had both traveled for work and would be home any time soon. A twenty year old Ruby was happy about this because she had missed them. She had not been at home when they left. She had been at her cousin; Savannah’s place. Fondly, the short woman was called Savvy, and she loved her nickname as well. “You seem a little bit pale, Mom,” she said as she eyes her mother. Thankfully, it was her father that was driving and not her mother. She was always jetlagged after a long trip like that. Her mother smiled. "Yeah, I admit I need to rest but what can I do? It's just not easy to put food on your table, now, is it?” she said, teasing her. Ruby wasn't a child, but she was treated as one, always. She didn't blame her parents though, she was the only child, but sometimes, she reminded them that fact. “You know you don't ha

One: Losing It All

Five years later This was the first time in her life that she wished she hadn't lost contact with her secret benefactor who had helped her through college. She needed the solidification of having a backbone at the moment, the hope that she could yet again, rise about her circumstances and be who she wanted. Ruby sighed as she walked to the restaurant that was only a few blocks away. She was meeting her boyfriend tonight, and even though that should cheer her up, the fact that she had just lost her job five hours ago was pressing down on her. She was just going to have dinner with him and go home. She could have gone home straight, but they had already made plans, and today was his birthday. That brought a half smile to her face. Roy was a nice guy, even though she saw a side of him that sometimes made her wonder if being nice was just a cover for who he really was. Or maybe she was the bad person, thinking like that about her boyfriend who had been nothing but supportive of her.

Two: Surprised

Still the same night "I just don't want you anymore.” The words kept ringing in her ear as she looked at him. She just couldn't believe this. Why was he suddenly being this cruel to her, showing her the side she had always wondered about?“Is this some sort of joke?” she asked as she picked his hands but he removed them sharply. “Do I look like I'm joking?” he asked her, a stern look on his face. He shook his head. "Look, Ruby. I don't want to hurt you, that's why I wanted to leave it at that, but you're making a face as if I'm a bad person. I'm not.” He said. But he was! He was cruel and being an ass for no reason, or maybe there was one, so she asked. "Why? Why are you doing this? Did I do something wrong? Is that it?” she didn't care that her voice was starting to rise with the tempo. "If that's it, please. Let me apologize.” She said. Roy rolled his eyes and grunted. "Oh, please you can't. How can you apologize for being a prude? I can count the number of times you kissed me

Three: Cameron

Cameron looked beside him at his five and seven years old children already dozing off to sleep. They should be in bed, but he couldn't leave them at home alone as he couldn't find a babysitter for the night. Their last nanny quit a week ago because she couldn't understand his kids. At least, that was the silly reason she gave when she submitted her resignation letter. Tonight, he had dinner with his family; his parents, grandmother, and sister, and he had told them he would be bringing his children over as well since he couldn't find someone to stay with them tonight. They should be in bed, not out here in his car sleeping. Thankfully, it wasn't a school night, so they would sleep in tomorrow morning. He should talk to his best friend; Lee, if he could talk to his wife for him. She ran an agency that hire people to work as a temp in a company. Maybe she could get someone who was interested in working as his nanny or something. The car soon rolled to a stop and Mr. Paul; his driver

Four

Ruby didn't know how far she had walked, from the restaurant to her house, but she did, with the box that was packed at the restaurant in one hand and her bag in the other. She walked to her apartment and got into the elevator. Thankfully, it was still working. If she had to go up to her apartment through the stairs to the third floor, she would have been exhausted. Finally, she got to the door of her apartment and unlocked the door, the bunch of keys already in hand. As she pushed the door in and walked by it to enter into the apartment, the edge of her dress pocket was caught in the knob, pulling her back and making her fall down flat on her ass. Thankfully, the box of food she was holding wasn't that much affected, but the content of her bag was scattered on the floor. Frustrated, she sat there instead of getting up and letting lose the wail she had been suppressing in her. She began to shake uncontrollably, crying as she remembered everything she had gone through in a day. Her

Five

Ruby had her head resting in Olivia’s lap as she cried, while Olivia had her right hand in her hair, massaging her scalp and hoping that would get her to stop crying. She was still burning with fury but she tried to not show it for her dear cousin’s sake. It wasn't easy to go through what Ruby had just in one day, so she would try to stop her from crying. Besides, crying was good, it meant that she wouldn't keep it in and later hurt herself from the compressed emotions she felt. "Do you think that I don't dress well?” Ruby asked Olivia suddenly, turning her body so that she was now facing her. Olivia's hand stopped massaging her scalp and she stared down at her. She sighed, wondering how best she would answer her. She shook her head slowly and said. "No, Ruby. I would say that you can do better if you want, but if you want to go with this, nothing is wrong with it. You're a beautiful woman, and no matter what you wear, including a sack of rice, you'll look good.” Ruby smiled, and

Six

Someone was shaking her awake, but Ruby just wanted to sleep for five more minutes. She didn’t have a job to go to anyway, and it wasn’t as if she had a date she was going for. She seriously just needed her beauty sleep. She was going to sleep more and see if the person would leave her the hell alone. “Wake up you brat. You can't just stay in all day without going out to look for a job.” The voice said and Ruby groaned. She popped one of her eyes open to look at the annoying person and it turned out to be the only person it could be. Olivia!“Leave me alone, for goodness sake. I just want to sleep for five more minutes.” She said. "Well, you've been saying that since six o’clock and this is seven o’clock. I'm going to work in an hour but I sure as hell won't leave you at home to continue your moping around routine.”Ruby rolled her closed eyes and then she opened them to look at her cousin who decided to be annoying today. She had lost her job and her boyfriend a week ago, so why w

Seven

"Ms. Hardin?" Ruby heard a voice call and she jerk out of her thought.That meant that it was almost her turn, seeing as the woman they had just called was beside her. Her nervousness increased and she tried taking a deep breath so that she could calm her nerves down a notch. It was just like that, no problem at all, but she was prone to riling herself up like that all the time.It wasn't her fault, it was probably how she was wired, plus it was Olivia’s fault for not hinting to her about the job before this morning. Now, everything was a disaster.It wasn't only her work life that was a disaster though. Her love life was the worst, but she couldn't think about that now. She shook her head and muttered to herself again, wanting for this interview to be over as fast as it could.She had prepared all the way here in the car for the interview and she had even practiced some of the questions she knew they always asked in common. She just hoped that her nerves wouldn't get in the way and

Eight

Ruby walked erratically, not sure of what to do. She was left with nothing but the clothes she had worn this morning. Her bag had been stolen, which meant that she had no money for a bus or cab. She walked to the bus stop even though she was sure she couldn't board the bus without any money.The rain was falling so heavily, and it had drenched her to the bone if that was a thing. She wanted to go into an alley and scream her throat out, getting out the fury that she was feeling.She was so angry at herself and if she had a chance or even the courage to do so, she would have taken a blade to her wrist even if it was just to punish and not to kill herself.Why was she so stupid, so much that she had forgotten something so important? She asked herself.Her dress, or rather, Olivia’s dress, clung to her body with the rain that had drenched her. She was starting to feel the cold creep into her body so deep that her teeth were starting to clash.She was beyond a reasonable doubt, hopeless

Nine

“I've been calling you all day to know how the interview went.” That was the first thing Olivia told her as she entered their apartment later that night. She dropped her bag on the kitchen counter before coming to sit with her on the couch. Ruby sighed, just at that moment, remembering that she had lost her phone earlier. “I had the craziest day today, Livy.” She said, and then she explained how stupid she had been today at the interview she went for. As she narrated the event, Olivia stared at her with her eyed widened in surprise and her mouth opened as if she had never heard such stupidity before. “What the hell, Ruby?” Olivia asked, frowning. “You don't have to say it, Livy. I definitely know that I had been a fool. I was just so uncollected and nervous that I ruined the interview.” She said. “And you're this calm? You lose your phone and your money but you're this calm? How?” she asked, wondering if she had missed the part where her cousin had cried her eyes out. Her eyes
