Ruby left Kim alone and went to find Jaxon. He had been in a mood ever since he knew Kim would be living with them. But what could she do? She couldn't just leave her sister to fend for herself when she was potentially being stalked by the press. She had first-hand experience of what that was like and it wasn't fun. She also had the crippling fear that some bad people could use her sister to get to her then Jaxon. She didn't even want to think about it.She hadn't forgotten the shooting at the mall and how Lucas had almost died because he saved her. She would be damned if she so much as put Kim in a similar position.Ruby found Jaxon in their bedroom, theirs. Jaxon had practically demanded they share a room after they had made up. She still found it surreal how not so long ago she was prepared to leave because she thought that was what Jaxon had wanted. And now, they had made up and were closer than they had ever been. Her heart warmed at how far they had come and she couldn't have

Jaxon finished getting dressed in his three-piece suit and after spraying the perfume that Ruby got for him he walked out of the closet with a small smile on his face.He felt like stepping on his own toes for being so sappy. He didn’t know when he became so soft because of his cute wife. He softly walked up to the bed in order not to make any sounds that would wake Ruby up from sleep.He smiled as he stared at her sleeping face. She looked so peaceful with her hair all over the place and her cheeks all puffed up.Jaxon placed a sweet kiss on her forehead and made his way out of the room softly closing the door behind him.He walked down the stairs and made his way to the kitchen.Jaxon saw Kimberly setting the table and he felt a rush of annoyance.“What are you doing?” Jaxon asked.Kimberly was startled by the loud voice and turned around to find the source. She smiled shyly when she saw Jaxon standing behind her with a blank face.“Good morning Jaxon. I was going to call you down f

Ruby sighed sadly as she watched Jaxon leave. She missed him already. Why did he have to leave her behind?Ruby hated being away from Jaxon but she knew it was necessary, he has so many responsibilities and she must help him complete them and not be the reason for him to get distracted and neglect his duties and work.Ruby hated how mature she could be at times, she knew that if she had asked Jaxon to stay and work from home he would agree but she couldn’t be selfish.She groaned as she stood up from the chair and turned to leave the dining area when Kim stopped her.“Do you trust your husband?” Kimberly suddenly asked and Ruby turned with confusion clear on her face. “I don’t understand,” Ruby replied.“It is exactly what you heard. Do you trust your husband?” Kimberly repeated with a mischievous smile.“Why won’t I trust him? He has never given me a reason not to. So yes, I trust Jaxon with my whole being.” Ruby replied with a sweet smile.She felt like if there was a word that was

Kim glanced at her phone for what felt like the thousandth time. She had invited Ruby for lunch and she didn't know what was taking so long. Whether they went or not didn't really matter to her, what mattered was that her plan went the way she wanted it to go.Her stay at the house had been enjoyable so far but the only thing that pissed her off was that none of it was hers. The house, the cars, the man! She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. All in due time, she told herself. She would make sure of it. Ruby wouldn't know what hit her and by the time she did, it would already be too late.She had been lounging on the couch in the living room downstairs for over an hour but it was starting to feel like an eternity. Kim checked her phone again, and this time, she let out an audible sigh. What was taking so long anyway? They were just going for lunch, not some party, she grumbled internally.She flicked open her phone and dialed Ruby's number. There was no way she was going up to m

Jaxon filed through paperwork as he worked. He'd been at it all morning and was yet to be burnt out. Just then, his phone pinged and he wanted to ignore it but decided against it. It could be Ruby, he thought. It wasn't, it was Ruslan instead.He didn't know why but a feeling of dread settled in the pit of his stomach as Ruslan's name flashed across the screen. Ruslan didn't call unless something bad happened. He just hoped that whatever it was, it had nothing to do with Ruby. It had everything to do with Ruby."What is it?" He cut to the chase as soon as he answered. There was no time for chit-chat. Ruslan seemed to know that too as he didn't keep him waiting."It's Ruby, she's been in an accident," Ruslan said and the air rushed out of his lungs. A thousand and one thoughts raced through his mind at what could have happened. Wasn't she home?"What do you mean she was in an accident? Isn't she supposed to be home?" Jaxon said as calmly as possible though his voice already bordered y

Jaxon’s eyebrows were creased in concentration as he gently picked up a sleeping Ruby out of the car. He didn’t want to hurt her injured leg, so he slowly walked with her in his arms.Ruslan opened the door to the house, and Ruby squirmed from the small sound that the door made, and Jaxon glared at Ruslan, who lowered his head in guilt.Ruby slowly opened her eyes and wrapped her arms around Jaxon’s chest, he looked down at her in his arms and smiled softly.Jaxon walked into the living room and gently placed her on the couch. He positioned her to lie down properly and sat beside her.Jaxon was worried and Ruby could tell from how tenderly he played with her hair. His eyes were fixed on her face for any sign of discomfort and Ruby softly smiled up at him.“How are you feeling now Gem? Do you need anything?” Jaxon asked as he moved to the foot of the couch and placed her uninjured leg on his lap.He started to gently massage her legs and a soft moan escaped her lips at the soothing fee

Ruby had been in bed for the past week, but all she could do was smile, unlike most sick patients who got tired of being bedridden after just a few days.Hers has been an amazing experience so far. Even though the pain could get unbearable at times, Jaxon was always there to make it all better.For the past week, he has taken some time off from work and has been taking care of her every need. She feels like a fragile doll that is unable to do anything by herself because of how much he dotes on her.He was always around from when she woke up to when she would go back to sleep and she couldn’t help the sweet smile that made its way to her face.Jaxon was always more than willing to do anything within his peer to help her get better. He personally prepared all her meals and acted as her crutches whenever she wanted to stroll around the house.They have had so many peaceful moments and have created so many amazing memories within this short span of time.Ruby didn’t know what good deeds s

The weather was lovely today. Clear skies, warm sun, and mild traffic. It was the perfect day for spending time out in the sun and doing outdoor activities. Too bad Kim was in a sour mood and the last thing on her mind was anything fun. It irritated her that even the weather seemed to be in a happier mood than she was.It had been two weeks since Ruby fell down the stairs and broke her leg, and then, she had thought everything was going in her favor. They weren't. In all the time that passed, her plans had been futile and no matter how hard she tried to get the ball rolling, it remained where it was.She had never known frustration like this existed. But these weeks had taught her it did, along with some virtues. Kim had not thought that patience was a word that would ever be associated with her but she had continued to surprise herself.She had patiently tried to get closer to Jaxon but no matter what she did, it would not happen. The whole reason why she had planned the accident

Jaxon had told Kim he knew she was the one behind the accident. Kim had thought long and hard of how that could be and the only thing that came to mind was that Ruslan had told him something because he was the only other person present at the time of the fall. Could he have seen the oil?Kim didn't entirely believe Jaxon because if he knew she was responsible, why leave her in his house where she could potentially do more harm? It didn't make sense. So she decided to believe that he was calling her bluff and didn't exactly know if she was the one responsible.He had also told her to stay away from him which she was not going to do. He'd yelled at her too, but she did not let it deter her because she knew she hadn't made him fall for her charms yet. When she did, she would be sure to make him apologize. With a little material gift of course. A million dollars wouldn't hurt anybody and it certainly wouldn't hurt his bank account.She now knew, thanks to the fiasco that morning, that

Ruby was feeling so much better as she snuggled closer to Jaxon. She smiled at the warmth that was radiating off him and Jaxon smiled as he gently massaged her back.He applied slight pressure in his palms as he massaged her sore muscles, and Ruby smiled at the soothing sensation; it felt so refreshing, and she wanted more.“Do you like that?” Jaxon asked softly and Ruby moaned in reply. Jaxon smiled as he continued to work his hands on her back.“It’s so nice, it makes me want to take a walk,” Ruby mumbled.“Why do you want to take a walk out of nowhere?” Jaxon stopped what he was doing and tilted his head to the side.“The weather feels right, I want to stretch my legs and breathe in some fresh air.” Ruby smiled happily as she sat up on the bed.“Baby, your legs haven’t healed up completely; let’s just stay in bed, okay?” Ruby’s smile morphed into a blank stare as she glared at Jaxon.“I want to take a walk babe. Are you coming or not?” Ruby asked blankly.“Fine, but you won’t go a
