59. New Saga!

Author's POV

After six months...

"Ruby, breakfast is ready..."

Their mother, Martina informed while setting plates. 

"Mom, why are you doing this... We have maids for this... You should rest."

Ruby sat at the table.

"Shut up! I am your mother and this kitchen belongs to me... I have fired the cook."

She sat in her chair. 

Ruby chuckled.

"You are great!"

"Call your sister, where is she?"

Martina asked.

"She must be sleeping in her room... She slept late last night."

Ruby informed.

"Why?"

Martina frowned.

"Was she getting nightmares again?"

Ruby sighed as her eyes watered.

"Yes, Mom. I can't see her like this, she screams in her dreams. She calls Egon, begs him to hold her in sleep, and when she wakes up, she forgets everything... I can't see her in this condition, she is struggling... She needs Egon, only he can comfort her..."

Martina also looked sad.

"Can you try to talk to Egon?... Tell him that she is suffering, and we should stop giving her that drug. Why are they torturing themselves like this... He is also in pain. I also didn't want them together after whatever happened but it can't happen like this... They are suffering without each other..."

"I tried to talk to him but he is not reachable. He doesn't want to talk about her... He is just protecting her from the dark... He loves her so much, yet he hasn't seen her face in the last six months. Can you imagine the pain he is inflicting on himself..."

Ruby shook her head.

"Both are insane."

"We should bring them in front of each other somehow.... I am sure Egon will melt once he sees her, and Emerald is not like before; she has changed. He will be fascinated by her new character."

Martina was hopeful. 

"I don't know, Mom... Maybe we shouldn't mess with their destiny..."

Ruby was confused. 

"Who the hell kept this here?"

Emerald growled while coming down the stairs. 

Ruby flinched when she heard her angry voice.

"Are you sure she has changed? Because I often see Queen in her..."

She gulped.

"My god, bless me!"

She tried to calm down Emerald.

"What happened, Emerald?"

"What a stupid way to display plants in the house, who the fuck keeps succulents on stairs?"

She snapped at her while sitting on her chair. She was cranky after a lack of sleep. 

"I'll ask maids to rearrange them."

Ruby assured.

"Looks like you had a rough night... How was the club?"

Emerald scowled.

"Fucking boring! I thought I would enjoy but regretted the moment I got in... The drinks were so bad but hey, I met one guy..."

Ruby's blood ran cold when she said that.

"Guy?"

She was thinking if he is still alive because Egon would never... She shook her head.

Emerald nodded.

"He was hot and all, and we stepped out of the club together to hang out, but he forgot his car keys and went inside to get them and never came back... Bastard must have gotten another chick. Men are so annoying nowadays. I don't know why every man I talk to never meets me again. Strange!"

Martina and Ruby looked at each knowing what must have happened to them. 

Ruby cleared her throat.

"Forget about men, tell me why you're so annoyed."

"I don't know, man... I am tired of these vacations... I need to do something productive, okay..."

She huffed while flipping her messy hair.

"How long are you going to keep me as a little princess... Make me work!"

"But Emerald..."

"Ruby, I know that I got into an accident and lost my memories. I don't remember anything but I am not insane... I have knowledge about things and how long you will protect me, I have to get out and do something for myself... I know you are too overprotective of me but no one is going to hurt me"

Emerald argued. 

"But who is going to protect people from you?"

She mumbled. 

"What?"

Emerald frowned when she couldn't hear her. 

"Nothing, I mean why do you want to work... You have everything, I am earning for you. You just chill and enjoy your life."

Ruby tried her best to keep her inside because if anyone from her past sees her then she will find out what's happening with her. 

"I think she is right!"

Martina suggested.

"Take her to your office. Give her some work, it will keep her mind busy..."

"Mom!"

Ruby looked at her in disbelief. 

Martina just assured her.

"It's okay... She will be fine... You can't keep her locked for a lifetime."

Ruby sighed.

"Fine!"

Emerald scowled at her.

"Your office? What will be my salary?"

Ruby raised her eyebrows.

"If you forget, let me remind you that you have pocket money in millions."

Which is given by Egon, of course. He has made sure that she is living in luxury. 

Emerald shrugged.

"But I'll work for you."

Ruby shook her head.

"Whatever you ask for, my queen!"

Emerald's smile dropped when she heard that. It felt like a deja vu but she couldn't understand why. Ruby noticed it. 

"Why does this word feel so familiar?"

She mumbled. 

Ruby gulped.

"Come on, hurry up! I am getting late... Finish your breakfast and meet me in the car."

Emerald brushed it off and started having her breakfast. She went to her room to grab her purse, she caught her glimpse in the mirror before leaving, and last night's dream crossed her mind. 

She couldn't understand why she always had a dream where a man was chasing her, his face was blurred, but his presence wasn't. The dream was so realistic that she can still recall it. 

She can understand that dreams like this are normal, but getting them every night is not normal, and she is going to find out soon why it's not normal for her. 

Her stepping out of the house was going to start the new saga soon!
