Now, it was too humid and made her shirt stick to her skin.They were in Cassie’s convertible and they had the sunroof open but that wasn’t enough for Ruby. “Why would Ethan do that?” Cassie was appalled by Ethan’s behavior and was even scared that he was a monster that she let into her life. Contrary to how he was behaving now, he used to be a really sweet guy and everyone loved to hang around with him. How he managed to keep up with the act for months was what she found interesting. “Ethan used her, he lied to her. Now, she’s pregnant with his child and he has abandoned her. How could I not see that this guy was this evil?” Ruby ranted It was even scarier because she had let him into her house and he always cooked for her and brought her flowers. What if he did all that to get into her space and

He wasn’t bothered so much by the wedding as he was already transferring Jake’s children to another school so Wyatt couldn’t reach them no matter how much he tried. “Sir?” Maggie poked her head through the door “Come in” “The spot for Ethan is opened I asked that those interested in the job should come tomorrow for an interview” Nate nodded, it was fine by him. He was going to fire Ethan anyway, after his outburst the other day, he figured it was best to lay him off work. Nate returned to his work as he got busy on his laptop.

She had told Esme who was thrilled and was now at peace as she had her mother and siblings surround her. Maria had now moved to Grace’s house which meant she was safe. The man on the scooter was seen again although they were still cautious about it. Ruby hadn’t heard from Doris but was looking forward to the next publication by the reporter.

Nate held his breath as he watched her strut in her heels. She wore a simple black cocktail gown with a deep plunge at the back. He was taken away and lost for words as he could see the sale of her round butt. He groaned a little as he felt a sensation in his lower member. He wanted her body against his own immediately. She had her hair in a low bun, leaving tendrils to frame her heart shaped face. She wasn’t putting on her glasses and he had a proper view of how beautiful her eyes were. They matched the color of the ocean and had a shine to it. Ruby barely wore any makeup but he was still amazed at how stunning she looked. Most of the girls he had been with took pride in adorning their faces for hours but Ruby didn’t need any of that. She was simple and he found the simplicity insanely attractive and sexy. “I …. I” he was lost for words and tried to speakHe remembered how she had him tongue tied on their first date even though it hadn’t gone well. Everyone who knew Nate kne

Ruby was glad away from the cameras and nosy reporters. She smiled as she received a glass of champagne from one of the waiters. Mixing up with the guests was easy as they were thrilled to see her. Most of them had discussed some business ideas with her while others commended her for being an exception. The attention Nate got was nothing compared to hers. He had almost everyone surrounding him, either trying to speak to him or trying to ask for his business card. She was proud of him and how much people looked up to him. It was only proof that he was hardworking and he made it look easy. Most people won’t believe the stress and opposition he had faced in order to be successful. “Hi beautiful” A man she had recognized from an interview on a morning show. “Hi” she smiled politely Nate was talking with some other businessmen. “Ruby I believe?” He asked with a charming smile She nodded as she sipped her champagne. Unfortunately, she had forgotten his name but remembered

“Do you want to get out of here?” Nate whispered into her ears The words sounded like music to her ears. She could hear the urgency and need in his voice.The conference had started and they had barely paid any attention to what the speaker was saying. Nate’s hands had found their way to her thighs under the table. He loved how soft and smooth her skin was. He had imagined his head buried in between her thighs. Everything about her intrigued him, he had never desired a girl and waited long. He was upfront with whatever he wanted but it was different with Ruby. He wanted to take it slow with her and treat her like the queen that she was. She wasn’t like other girls, she was special and he didn’t have any plans of messing up the good thing they had going on. “Sure” Ruby nodded Her words had come more as a breath. She could feel the heat in between her lap as her body ached for his touch.Like teenagers sneaking food into a movie theater, Nate took her by the hand as they

Ruby did the back strokes lazily in the pool. She was glad the Florida air wasn’t as humid as the one back home. She had woken up with a start as she tried to recall all that happened the previous night. She remembered she was drunk when she got home. She slipped out of her dress and climbed into the bed immediately. She wasn’t sure what happened to Nate but she found him sleeping on the couch when she woke up. She sighed as she changed to the butterfly strokes. “Had I said something to annoy him the previous night?” She asked herself. “Or had we gotten into a fight?” Whichever it was, she couldn’t tell what was the answer until Nate woke up. One of the reasons she avoided alcohol was because of the kind of things she said when she was drunk. She had no control over her emotions and poured out her heart ever so easily. Santos had brought them breakfast but she decided to keep it aside and waited till Nate was up so they could eat together. She had spent a part of the mo

She knew Wyatt could buy his way out of court with money but not this time. She needed enough evidence that would not be overlooked by anyone.
