All Chapters of Your Dad's Perfect: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

After emailing everything to the university, I run out of things to avoid taking the test. Everything changes if I'm pregnant. Walking into the bedroom, I sit with it in my hand. Alaric looks at me."If you're not, you need to figure out contraception. We need to be safe until you're protected."All I can do is nod in agreement. I know he means wearing condoms going forward, which sucks. I prefer sex without them, but I am happy with it if it stops me from getting pregnant. My hand stays wrapped around the test.Moving, he takes it from me and looks at it. "You're not pregnant, Ruby; you can breathe." He chuckles slightly, and my eyes roll. "Anyone would think you didn't want to be tied down to me." He smiles slightly."It's not that Alaric; I would be happy if I were pregnant, but it's not ideal. I'm still studying, or I hope anyway. We live four hours away from each other. I'm not comfortable having you support me financially, and people will think I trapped you."Right now, I need

I'm alone when I wake up. I need to get contraception sorted today. Getting ready, I walk down and find the house empty. Grabbing my phone, I smile and see Alaric's name.Morning baby girl, I expect you to eat today and drink enough water. I'm not sure how long I will be, keys to the cars are hung up if you need to leave or go home. A xI cook while updating Bex on things, although there is nothing to update.After eating, I sit with the laptop and begin looking for work. I then start feeling sick. Walking to the kitchen, I grab a glass of water before sitting back down.I ate too quickly. An hour later, I began my university work. The last thing I want is to not do it and get told I am staying. The phone ringing has me pick it up and answer."Yes?""Yes, baby girl?" I smile, hearing Alaric's voice."Sorry, I didn't look." Okay, I did sound rude."It's fine baby girl, did you eat?"My eyes roll. "I did, Sir. I had breakfast and drank water." That was more because I felt sick."Good, I

I don't move. I'm still trying to process what happened. How did it go from Max wanting to cause issues to Beatrix helping him and going to my parents?Even I know my parents aren't ones to stay quiet. Alaric's arms wrap around my body as he hugs me and I relax into his hold, wanting nothing more than to hide away until they finish destroying my life."Don't you fucking run, Ruby!" His words are fierce, and I peer up at him, I had thought it, but not said it, how would he know? "I can see it all over your face. Do not run." He pleads, pulling me closer to him."She's using me to get to you, Alaric. She's using me to win." Even I know she is, and the reality that ultimatly it will be because of me that he gives her money is worry. She shouldn't get a thing from him, even if she is tormenting me."And you think that you walking away isn't her winning? Don't do it, baby girl, promise me." He pleads. Nodding slowly, I agree not to."I'm sorry." I don't even know why the hell I'm apologisi

When I wake, I'm alone in bed. Glancing around, I grab my phone and see the time. It's nearly nine. Opening the message from Alaric, I smile.Be good today, baby girl; I'll be home this evening and see you then. A xHitting reply, I type out a message.I will try, but I may get bored here all alone and go play in your hidden room. xI imagine his face when he reads the message and I laugh; getting ready, I walk down and see Ivy and Bex."You're still here?" I thought they would have left."Of course, we're still here; we will leave later. Right now, we need to know about you and Alaric." Bex says, and I look at her, confused. "Oh, come on. You moved your stuff in Ruby." Bex explains, and I laugh."I didn't move my things in," I reply. She knows I didn't because it was literally one bag of items."Technically, you did. I thought this was just fun." Ivy says, and I nod at her."I thought it was just fun, but things changed." My words are quiet, and I shrug."You love him." Bex teases, a

A loud siren wakes me, and before I can process anything, Alaric has already pulled me from the bed. My mind fights to wake up fully, and he pulls me towards the door that leaves the bedroom."Alaric, I'm naked!" What the fuck. He releases me and grabs a robe before wrapping it around my body, just to go back to dragging me out of the room. "What is that noise?" I feel him pulling me down, and Jake rushes past. Why did I need dragging out of the room?"It's the fire alarm. You need to get outside." My eyes roll. It's likely a glitch as I think that we reach the bottom of the stairs and I smell burning. So something is on fire?He pulls me out and sits me on a bench. I want to help, but I have a feeling if I try to step foot inside again, he will shout at me. The sound of sirens has me turn, and I see the gate opening, and the fire trucks pulling in.Is this really happening? I hear the garage shutter open and see smoke. Standing, I walk towards it and see Jake trying to put out the fi
