View MoreCHAPTER 124RUBY'S POV Morning came faster than I expected and thanks to my alarm, I woke up right in time to see it was a monday morning and I had to head to the gallery.I groaned as I sat up in bed and stared out the window while wondering what the day held for me. Then I turned to my dresser only to behold my new look in the mirror and I remembered how I had shortened the length of my hair the previous night. Sighing with a roll of my eyes, I stood up and headed for the bathroom where I had a quick bath and dressed up in a black t-shirt and jean trousers. If I had my way, I didn’t want to leave my room until I would have a hold over my sanity again but I didn't have much of a choice when it came to the gallery.I had just resumed, Dax was the one who paid for me to get in also, so it would be rude and ungrateful of me to suddenly stop showing up so I made up my mind to survive through the days to come as I grabbed my bag and left my room only to see Sally seated in the dining ro
CHAPTER 123DAX'S POV Pulling off my jacket and flinging it against a chair as I made my way into my living room, I gained Simon's attention while he made dinner at the kitchen and I hissed out angrily while taking a seat and palming my face.“What? Did you have a fight with Ruby? Or did you have a fight with someone over her? Because you look like you could murder anyone right now” he asked and I chuckled dryly. I was so pissed that I could punch through a wall if I let my anger get the best of me. My humor was broken and so was my emotion since I was raging beyond control so chuckling seemed like the only reaction to give even if it was just on the surface. I could feel literally nothing but fury underneath. I wished that fighting with someone over Ruby was the case because it wouldn't be as big of a deal as this was to me… in this situation. I would always win if it had to do with fighting over Ruby because I never planned to let her go and I never had intentions of having figh
CHAPTER 122RUBY'S POV The door opened and Sally walked out onto the porch at that moment. I was still sobbing and couldn't bring myself to stop even though she was watching me and she was a curious child. I knew she would want to know why her mum was crying but I couldn't stop the tears. I was too broken and hurt to make myself care about what she would feel or think on seeing me that way.Clarissa quickly stood before me as she faced Sally who looked curious, making sure I was out of her view. Then she let out an awkward laughter before walking toward Sally who was still watching in silence.“What are you doing out here, darling? Aren't you supposed to be eating your dinner?” She asked Sally but Sally was still watching me, not paying a single heed to Clarissa who was trying to distract her and it hit me just how much she acted like Dax sometimes.They were so hard to distract once they had their attention fixed on something that had gained their interest and thinking about that b
CHAPTER 121RUBY’S POVAfter a long moment of sobbing all by myself while I walked home and earned curious stares from people I passed by, I finally got to my house and dragged myself up the porch with a broken soul.Forgetting I could just open the door and walk in, I began to press the doorbell for someone to let me in and when a long time passed with no one answering the door yet, I fell to my knees and clutched onto my chest before bursting into another fit over the fact that Dax now knew the truth.The way he stared at me like he didn’t know me before walking away was engraved in my head and it played over and over like a broken part of a movie. Then how he had avoided my touch twice ruined me. I still felt like I couldn’t breathe, my heart had never felt heavier and my head hurt so bad but I couldn’t stop crying.The tears kept coming against my wish and holding them back was like going into a war I knew I was eventually going to lose at the end… It was a pointless effort.The
CHAPTER 120RUBY'S POV “Tell me again, Patricia. What did you just say?” Dax asked Patricia again just to be sure he heard correctly and she giggled.“Stop acting so surprised like you don't know about it already. Ruby told me when she came over for our date you know? She said you're both Sally's parents and she also said she would come clean to you which I'm sure she has already done and I have to say… I planned to tell you guys when you know the truth, that you're a perfect duo to have kids. Your children are going to look like angels” She ranted, telling Dax for the second time that he was Sally's father and how she got to know about it which was enough to show that even though she was drunk, she wasn't speaking gibberish because if she was repeating the same thing twice, It meant it was true.I just stood there motionless and speechless as I stared at her like I had seen a ghost and I wondered if I was also pale too because there was suddenly a loud ringing in my head and I felt
CHAPTER 119RUBY'S POV Dax got ready and returned just as I asked him too and I on the other hand was almost ready too. So he waited in the living room while I put on a black colored with white flowered patterned sundress.Then I held my hair up in a ponytail and wore a pair of shades before I grabbed my purse and left for the living room where he waited only to see he was getting drilled by Clarissa for using the window and I held back my laughter when he looked at me with eyes that cried for help.“Okay, okay. That's enough Missy. Next time, he'll use the door to coke in okay?” I interrupted, gaining her attention as she stopped drilling Dax to look at me and she frowned. “Whatever. Soothe yourselves” she snapped and stood up before exiting the living room. Dax stood up and I internally swooned at how effortlessly good he looked. He was dressed in all black; a pair of black jean trousers, a black T shirt along with a black leather jacket and I realized he was holding his hand out
CHAPTER 118RUBY’S POV“Ruby, you better get your ass out of bed this instant. I know it’s a sunday morning but it’s 12 pm already and you haven’t had breakfast” Clarissa yelled from outside my room, her voice sounding far off as I woke up to see it was morning already.I moved to get out of bed but was held back by the large arm wrapped tightly around me and I looked back over my shoulder to see it was Dax and he was asleep. We both had a blanket over ourselves but we were stark naked beneath and memories from the previous night flooded my head, making my face heat up as I recalled everything and Dax opened his eyes to look at me.“Hey, baby” he called sweetly, his voice deep and rough and doing things to my insides and I smiled at him beforre giving him a brief good morning kiss and he pulled me closer just as I moved to get out of bed for the second attempt.I laughed when he rubbed the tip of his nose against mine and he grinned too before pulling back and watching me.“What was
CHAPTER 117RUBY'S POV “Tell me how much you want me right now, Ruby and if you are not convincing enough, then we’re going to bed right away” Dax said to me and my jaw dropped while I stared at him in shock. If he thought he was in control of the situation, then he had to be joking because I was about to show him I was the one in control.“Is that a threat, Mr. Kellen?” I asked him seductively, my voice barely above a whisper while I trailed my fingers down his chest and he chuckled when he realized what I was doing.“Use your words, Ruby and keep your hands where I can see them because I’m not going to let you turn me on with your hands” he replied and I smirked as I placed my hand over his length at that moment, making him drag in a long audible breath in reaction.“I’m sorry, what were you saying?” I asked, trying to act clueless and he shot me a sharp, lustful look after realizing this was a losing game for him and he was eventually going to pleasure me as I wanted.“Ruby…” he
CHAPTER 116RUBY’S POV“So tell me, did you have a good time without me while you were on your date?” was the first question Clarissa asked when I showed up on the porch of our house with Sally after getting out of the Uber and I rolled my eyes in response.“Stop being jealous, Clarissa. You know you’ll always be my best friend and number one” I told her while laughing as I took off my shoes and she huffed while folding her arms across her chest.“So you did have fun without me. How was it with her? awkward, enlightening, fun or just blank boring?” she asked me after we both came in and Sally hopped around in the living cheerfully. She didn’t get to play at Patricia’s place but I could tell she enjoyed her lunch and dinner which was probably why she was energetic. Patricia was a great cook.“Hello, aunt Clarissa,” Sally greeted while she kept on hopping around and Clarissa picked her up when she wouldn't stop. Then she began to laugh when she started to tickle her.“Did you miss me,
