Kim let Ruby hold her as tears rushed down her eyes in slow streams. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jaxon who had come with Ruby and she was suddenly reminded of why she had gone through so much trouble to be with Damon. And it had all been for naught. It wasn't fair, what did Ruby have that she didn't and why was she the only one to get a rich man?Kim stood frozen as her tears continued to fall. She was so occupied with her thoughts that she didn't notice on time that Ruby had tried to get her attention several times."Kim?" She heard a gentle voice whisper close to her and she was quickly reminded of where she was. Ruby had managed to remove her from the daze she had been and her eyes darted across Ruby's. Kim then glanced over to Jaxon who had remained quiet, then her eyes unexpectedly ran into Ophelia's who stared at her suspiciously. Unlike Ruby who seemed sympathetic."What is it? What happened to you?" Ruby's questions brought a fresh set of tears to Kim as she remem

The tears that had stopped flowing from Kim's eyes resumed their descent down her cheeks. Her tears though, were not from being sad but served the purpose to guilt trip Ruby into doing what she wanted."But Kim, you can't really mean that," Ruby put in then gave her a worried look."Of course I mean it. You are a bad sister who never takes her younger sister's side. I just wanted you to talk to Damon for me, I didn't ask you to build a rocket or something." She fired back with an annoyed look.Her eyes searched Ruby's and all she could see was the hurt in them. Not what she was going for but she could make it work, Kim thought."You couldn't even have said just no and ended it there. No, you had to tell me all the reasons why you said so and that made me feel inadequate and childish." She told Ruby in a whimpering voice.Kim wasn't happy with the way things had been playing out so far. First, she and Damon had argued and then he had unexpectedly ended things with her. And now, Kim fou

Ruby was worried throughout the ride home. She felt helpless that there was nothing she could do to ease her sister's pain.She knew how painful and draining it was to be left behind by someone we loved. She had almost gone crazy the day she thought Jaxon would be getting rid of her, so she could just imagine what Kim was going through.She sighed as she stared out the window. Jaxon glanced at her dejected look and shook his head. He placed his hand on her lap and Ruby turned around to face him.“Stop worrying Gem, she is going to be fine.” Ruby sighed as the warmth of his hand slowly dipped into her skin. She placed her hand on his and intertwined them.“I know that but I can’t help it. This is the first time I’ve seen her so distraught and hurt over a relationship.” Jaxon gently squeezed her hand and Ruby smiled at the comforting feeling.“A relationship?” Jaxon’s brows furrowed. He knew his friend long enough to know that whatever he had with Kim was not a relationship.“She should

Ruby felt anxious as she lay down on the bed. Jaxon was taking a shower and she was left alone with her thoughts. She kept looking at her phone expecting a reply from Kim but there was still nothing from her side.Ruby started to feel worried. Her heart started beating faster and she could feel the anxiety increasing. Her stomach started to form tight knots, she didn’t want to be negative but she felt like something was wrong with Kim.She hurriedly opened her phone and dialed Kimberly’s number, the phone rang and Ruby felt like her heart would beat out of her chest as the phone kept ringing.Her thoughts are a whirlwind of the worst-case scenarios, her imagination running wild with images of doom and disaster. She closed her eyes to clear her mind.She dialed the number again and her chest tightened with a sense of foreboding, her heart beating erratically like a trapped bird fluttering against the cage of her ribcage.She anxiously bit her nails and just as she was about to give up

The casual buzz of people floated through the shop as Kim sipped on her latte. She had been here for over thirty minutes and was simply sitting and thinking. She observed the people at the shop, everyone had something to do, something to eat, and someone to talk to. It infuriated her that all these people could be so happy with their lives while she was in the middle of a financial crisis.She frowned especially when she noticed a few love birds all cozied up together. Kim had been here for over thirty minutes and had been nursing one drink for all that time, which was a reminder she needed to order another one.She signaled the waiter, a cute guy with wavy blond hair. If he were a few million dollars richer, she probably would have swooned over him. Her mind was whirling around when the waiter placed another piping hot latte in front of her.She didn't touch the cup immediately. Kim had come here to think and thinking was what she had been doing since she got here. The plan she had

Ophelia peeped out the window as a worried look crossed her face. Kim looked through another window and caught dozens of paparazzi vehicles on the road. Her plan had worked better than she hoped. Now all she had to do was wait then call Ruby on what was happening to her, and boom, she would get what she wanted.The paparazzi outside their door seemed to have made a deal with one another. They no longer shouted all at once but took turns yelling questions. Questions that both she and Ophelia heard."How's your relationship with your sister?!""What about the relationship between your sister and Jaxon?" "Will we soon see a baby in the mix?"There were a lot more questions that were asked but these were a few she had picked up and could remember. Frankly, Kim found their shouting and questions exhausting after only ten minutes of listening. It was now clear to Ophelia that the press was here for her but Ophelia hadn't asked her anything about it. Kim thought that Ophelia assumed the

Ruby was scared.She felt like her whole senses were shivering in fright as Jaxon drove them to the hotel. She couldn’t sit still, she kept tapping her feet on the floor and Jaxon worriedly glanced at her from time to time.“They are safe now Gem, you don’t need to worry so much,” Jaxon said softly. Ruby sighed and turned to face him. She looked like she had just seen a scary movie and Jaxon almost cursed out loud.He grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips, he placed a soft kiss and rested their intertwined hands on his laps while he drove.Ruby nodded and took a deep breath to calm herself.Jaxon parked in the hotel's parking lot and turned to Ruby. He leaned forward and unbuckled her seat belt.“I won’t be going in with you 'cause I know you’ll want to have some alone time with them. But! I don’t want you to cry when you get there, they are both fine and safe, nothing happened so don’t get too worked up. Okay?” Jaxon cupped Ruby’s cheeks and stared directly into her eyes as he

Ruby felt like she had been stabbed straight into her heart. All her life she has been nothing but an amazing sister who places the needs of her Kimberly before her own and now just because she couldn’t grant this small request she was called a bad sister.Her heart ached as she stood up from the bed. She felt a heavy headache coming on as she thought about how she was going to deal with the issue at hand.She loved Kim. After all, she was the only surviving family she had left and she had never refused to give her whatever she wanted but why won’t she understand that things are now more complicated?She couldn’t bring herself to reject her. In her eyes, Kim looked really scared and just wanted to feel safe in her sister’s company but then there was Jaxon.He has made it clear to her that he doesn’t like people invading his private space so how would she convince him to allow Kimberly to stay with them?“I’m sorry Kim, you can stay with me for as long as you want.” Ruby sighed and Kim

There was satisfaction etched in Kim as the car drove to Jaxon's house. Her plan was going just the way she wanted and she couldn't have been happier. There were a few times when she thought things wouldn't go exactly as she imagined them, but she was glad those instances worked themselves out.Kim knew that making that post and getting the paparazzi to go crazy was just a stepping stone for the main part of her plan. She had thought her plan through several times and knew that she would have to get Jaxon to like her if she was going to succeed. She had to get pregnant for him one way or the other, Kim thought to herself.Thinking about getting closer to Jaxon and actually doing were two completely different things. Kim was sure that that would be a stumbling block when she stayed with them. She had her work cut out for her because the man didn't even look at her, so talking to her was out of the question.Kim had noticed that anytime she was in his presence, or really if anyone el
