“Have a great day” the waiter smiled as he left.Ruby smiled as she blew the steam off her hot chocolate and took a sip. Wasn’t life perfect? She was enjoying the view of the beach while sipping hot chocolate with the love of her life, or maybe not. He was giving her the life she wanted. “What have you been up to?” He asked softly, he was careful enough to not anger her “I’ve been working with Mark and you know that. Life has been great” Nate pulled a jealous face, he was jealous she was having fun with him, her life seemed to be way better without him in it and she even had a wider smile. He noticed that she definitely got prettier after she left. “Ruby, I need to know if you like me. I’ve made it clear that I like you but I haven’t exactly heard you say it” Ruby almost choked on her drink and then cleared her throat before going silent. Nate stared at her as he waited for a reply. His fears were coming true. Maybe she didn’t like him that much or maybe there were no

“I’ve always liked you but I couldn’t say the same for you. Some days you look at me like I’m very special and then other days, you act like I don’t exist” she started, her eyes transfixed on the groundShe was quite certain that the truth was going to be out the next day especially because the reporters had seen her face so they were going to dig deep into her background. It was better she told Nate than for him to find out the truth and receive a huge shock. “Ruby, I don’t know how to behave around you,” he admitted with sad eyes. “I’ve never found it difficult to talk to a woman but you’re different. I’m always tongue tied around you. You challenge me and you know just how to annoy me. No woman has ever done that to me” “Tomorrow, there’d be somethings published about me and I think it’s best if I let you know than for you to find out”Nate raised a brow, what could be so important? “It doesn’t matter what they say, I want to stick with you” “It matters” she shook her

Bad news. One of the things Nate had dreaded all his life. After his conversation withRuby, he was beyond shocked about what he heard and he was scared of what was going to be in the news. To his surprise, she had confessed her feelings for him in detail. It was one of the best things he had ever heard. He understood why she didn’t want him to hold back how he felt towards her, it was because she felt protected, secured and loved. Admitting his feelings meant she wasn’t alone. He also felt the same way about her. She had also told him that there would be a lot of things published about her the next day, some might be true, some might not. He rolled his eyes and then rubbed at his forehead, why did she have to be so difficult. He had remembered that Taylor told him that Ruby was who she thought he was but he didn’t want to pay attention to it even though it couldn’t leave his mind. Taylor was a pathetic liar so he couldn’t believe anything she said.Nate never really looked for

“You realize that whatever you see is going to affect you right?” Grace asked as she cleared the breakfast tableNate had gone to bed the previous day agitated, scared of what he was going to find in the news. The next morning, he had woken up with a start and was searching for any information that hinted at what Ruby said.Adam had gone home that night so Grace offered to come over and be strong for him.She had never seen her son so downcast since the pass away of his father “I need to know the truth. Ruby is quite straightforward. If she is hiding something, that means it’s something huge and I’m scared of what it is” Grace exhaled as she handed the plates over to Maria to take to the kitchen. In all her years, she had seen so many things and wasn’t unfazed by whatever they claimed Ruby had to hide. She was still convinced that Ruby was a sweet girl and no matter what happened, there was a reasonable explanation to it. Grace took her seat beside him as she watched him scrol

She stared at the pile of tissue paper and scrunched her nose. She was surprised her nose hadn’t fallen off from all the crying she had been doing, it was horrible. It was almost like she was back to square one again. A couple of days ago, she was stuck in bed, her face buried in ice cream and chocolates. Just when she thought she was now better, everything got worse. “How long are you going to continue like this?” Esme asked tiredly and yawned. She didn’t have so much energy as she was drained by the stress from the pregnancy. “Do you know what people are saying online?” Ruby sniffled as she pushed her hair backwards Some people had good things to say like they were happy that Nate wasn’t interested in Taylor as she was a spoiled brat but there were only a few comments. Most of the comments trolled her, calling her a wannabe. Most banked on the fact that she had grown up at the poor side of Oregon at first. How convenient for people to say whatever they wished. “Nobody c

Taylor got dressed in a very chic dress as usual. Life was perfect for her. She applied her makeup carefully. Emily was taking her on a picnic date. They were going to have dinner in a yacht. She sang happily as she perfected her hair. Life was perfect wasn’t it? Once again, she had succeeded in taking Ruby down. Her fans didn’t disappoint, she had instructed them to troll Ruby and Esme and they did it effortlessly. "Where are you going?" Mr Wyatt demanded as he stormed into his daughter's room "Dad!" Taylor yelled. "Haven't you heard of privacy? What the hell is wrong with you?" He shook his head. He always blamed herself for Taylor’s behavior. Since she was an only child, he pampered her in hopes that she was going to change later in the future.It was too late to blame himself. He had always thought of securing a future where she didn’t have to suffer just like he did, he didn’t care if he was securing her future at the expense of other people’s misery. Now, all that wa

Roberta’s dress had a knee high slit. She knew it wasn't a good choice since it was freezing outside. She sighed and wore her heels. Just as Doris had promised, she managed to get her an invitation. It was basically a meeting with the top businessmen in the game. They discussed politics and any other thing of their choice.It was also at the club where elections for the post of minister were held. It sounded absurd and it sounded so crazy that elections were rigged there too.She had published some stories for the newspaper but Doris asked that she not publish them, at least not yet. She was waiting for the perfect time to nip the bud. That was how corrupt Wyatt and some of the other politicians were. She expected to see Wyatt there but hoped not to see anyone that she knew. She wore a black fascinator on her head that covered half of her face. She knew what she was about to do was risky but she had insisted on it. The more she got involved in the case, the more excited s

"I know that you and Wyatt were quite close and you were acquainted with Mr Jacobin and Mr Wonder, what really happened between you and Wyatt? Why are you here even though you don’t like him," Roberta asked, staring at him. "We attended art conferences together and we made art together. We became friends by the choice of my profession and I regret being acquainted with him because it had caused me so much more trouble than you can imagine," he said in a flat tone. He was irritated by how piercing her eyes were. He thought he had gotten rid of Doris but now, there was someone even worse. He had met Doris at the university, back then Wonder and her were known as lovebirds. She was super sweet but the hardship of life had changed her a whole lot. "I know what happened on the fifteenth of may, fourteen years ago" Roberta stared firmly although her voice was a little bit shaky.Doris hadn’t told her the details but being a nosy reporter had equipped her with so much information.
