Ruby

I woke up just as Asher was walking out the door. He looked at me for just a split second before he turned around.

“Heyyy, good morning…”

“Don’t wait up for me, I’ve got plans.” He cut in sharply before I could even finish.

I wasn’t even moved one bit, it was slowly becoming our norm anyway. I just let out a long stretch and then managed to get out of bed.

I went straight into the bathroom and, for a minute, I just stood there and got cozy in Asher’s scent, which filled the whole place.

  • My heart beats for you    Marry me again!

    Asher There’s a saying that people know when they are about to die. Some people even get so much time that they get to put their affairs in order. Well, in my case, I didn’t. It was really sudden but I was satisfied. I could feel life leaving my body but I knew I couldn’t leave without letting her know how much I love her. If there was an afterlife, I’d still keep loving her. And when I drew my last breath, I had so much joy and satisfaction. However, that didn’t seem to be the end because I woke up after two weeks. I was told I had been in a coma and that was when it dawned on me that it wasn’t a dream. It felt like a dream because everyday, Ruby would come to me in the bedroom, she’d sing to me and confess her undying love for me. She’d beg me to come back to her and my daughter. None of it made sense so I just thought it was a dream. It was when I finally woke up that I understood what was happening. For the past two weeks, Ruby had been coming to sit with me and talk

    Ruby“How dare you?!” Camila yelled. Asher quickly stood up and started begging, while Xavier also managed to get on his feet too and surprisingly beg. “What are you doing, Camila? This wasn’t the plan, you help me get her and you also get back Asher so why are you pointing a gun at her?” Xavier asked and even I was disgusted by his ignorance. How on earth did he believe Camila would want me alive? She knows I’d ever be a threat to her supposed love life with Asher. There’s no way she’s leaving me alive, Xavier was just a fool to believe her but I don’t even blame him. Camila has a record of manipulating men to do her wish.“Awwwn… you’re so innocent, aren’t you? You really believe I was doing any of this god you, really? I was using you, Xavier. Just like I used you before, I’m using you again so you better keep your mouth shut or I’ll take you out first!” She fired and Xavier went mute. “You Asher, you dare choose this bitch again. I loved you with everything but nothing is enoug

    Ruby“Why are you the one picking me up? Where is grandpa?” Ivy quizzed while I gasped, pretending as if I had just been stabbed in my heart. And maybe I was, because how could she break my heart with such question?“Ohh my my, are you saying you don’t want me picking you again?” I asked.“I do, but I enjoy my rides with grandpa more and my friends like him too.” She replied while I looked at her funny.“Your friends too? Wow, I didn’t know grandpa is popular around here.” I chimed in.“So where is he?” She asked again, confirming that she really preferred her grandpa.“I never knew a day would come when my sweet Ivy would deny me like this. Well, grandpa had an emergency at work so you’re stuck with me today,” I teased while she rolled her eyes playfully. We were still talking and having fun when everything suddenly turned into a mess. A car had ran into us and I lost control of the car. In the midst of the chaos, I made sure Ivy was unhurt. I saw her safely tucked in her seat and

    Ruby It’s been two weeks since I moved out of Xavier’s place and into my parents house. They were so happy to have me and Ivy. My mom couldn’t get enough of her grandchild and she’s now my dad’s favorite. He hasn’t stepped out of the house since we moved in. He drives her to school, picks her up and even to her playgrounds. She has gotten more goodies than she has since was born.“You’re going to spoil this girl if you both continue this way,” I said to my mom who only chuckled.“You enjoyed the same things and you didn’t get spoiled, did you?” She replied and we both laughed. Ivy and my dad were in the living room doing her homework while I was helping my mom out in the kitchen. Asher will be around in an hour to see his child. After the whole thing, I decided to let him meet Ivy. She’s his child after all, and the man I hoped was going to fill that role turned out to be a betrayal. It was such an emotional moment when Ivy finally got to know Asher as her dad. I know it was hard

  • My heart beats for you    Please forgive me

    RubyI was shocked to see the both of them in an heated argument, especially because I called Xavier before leaving the house and he said he was already on his way home.“So what are you doing here, Xavier? You said you were on your way home, when did this place turn into home?” I asked angrily while he moved close to hold me but I warned him off.“Don’t even try it, just answer my question please!” I chimed in and he motioned me with his hands to calm down.“I can explain. I heard some things and I just couldn’t hold myself back. I had to quickly come over and set things straight!” He replied while Asher laughed. “You’re a pathetic liar, Xavier! He’s lying to you, Ruby. This man right here isn’t the man you think he is! He’s a fraud!!” He exclaimed and Xavier moved to hit him but I quickly jumped in between them and stopped him.“You’re not a fraud, right? I know that and you do too so let’s hear him out. Okay then, out with the lies.” I turned to Asher and said. I could tell Xavie

  • My heart beats for you    Call off your dog!

    RubyI woke up really happy and excited. I’ve just set one of my plans in motions and I woke up to the tremendous wonder it has done. Last night when I sent some files to my guy, they were videos exposing the atrocities of Camila and her accomplice lover. I woke up and the first thing I did was scroll through the news. I was so happy when I saw the videos everywhere and how the public has taken it up with so much fury. Now eveyone knows who the devil is. That bitch has taken advantage of my softness for too long. Not anymore. Now, she’s going to face my wrath and this is just the beginning.I had a big grin on my face as I made my way into the bathroom to freshen up. I went downstairs to the kitchen afterward to prepare the breakfast. I was in a really good mood so I gave the chef the morning off and then got to work all by myself.I was done when the door burst open and then it was slammed really hard. I turned around and it was Xavier standing there. He hurried towards me and then

    Ruby“When will you be back?” Ava asked while I tilted my head sideways.“I’m not sure but I should be back before evening. I’ll be stopping over at the house to get my things, then I’ll go to the hospital, maybe grocery shopping too and that’s all.” I replied.“No baby, you don’t have to shop for

    Ruby “I’ll be right back please,” I said and then quickly left the table.I got outside and called back the number but it was off already.“How is that even possible?” I thought to myself as I tried again a couple more times.That voice definitely belonged to Xavier. It’s been a long while since w

    RubyI was shocked out of my mind as I watched the scene in front of me. I didn’t even know what to do. I didn’t know if to shout or pounce on them but fighting them? Really? That’s none of my business!They didn’t even know I was at the door watching them. They were so engrossed in their shameful

    Asher“Welcome, sir.” The voice sounded somewhere around me as I made my way past the kitchen.I looked in the direction and it was a man coming out of the kitchen with a tray in his hand. “And who are you?” I queried.“The new chef. I’m the new chef sir.” He let out.I stared at him for a long se
