Ruby

I slept all through the ride from the airport to the house. I woke up to Asher pressing a soft kiss on my forehead. A smile lined my face, and he smiled back too.

“We’re home, beautiful,” he said while I then looked out the window and saw we were really home.

I was supposed to smile and be happy, since there’s nowhere like home, but I didn’t. I couldn’t. I was aware of what being back home would mean, so I wasn’t excited to be back. But then, I still forced out a grin, which he returned with another kiss to my nose.

“Come on, let’s go… I need to get to the office real quick.” Asher let out, pulling me out of my misery really fast.

“Already? Can’t it wait till tomorrow?” I quizzed as we got out of the car.

“I wish it could, but I have an urgent meeting tomorrow and I need to put a lot of things into place,” he explained.

“Aren’t you the boss? Can’t you ask for work to be brought to you?” I countered while he looked at me and smiled.

“Okay, okay, I think I know where this is coming

  • My heart beats for you    It can’t be him…

    Ruby“Ava, you f*cking sl*t!” I exclaimed over the phone the second she answered.She burst into laughter immediately and that was all the answer I needed to know. A part of me had picked on the fact that Ava had been frequenting here because of the attached endings, but I was still willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and just be sure before passing judgment. Hearing her laugh so hard and loud now only means one thing. She f*cking knows!!“What the heck are you even talking about?” She finally asked after laughing to her heart’s feel.“The fact that you laughed that much already tells me everything I need to know. I can’t believe you, Ava. You’re so unbelievable! Oh my goodness!!” I let out and she burst out laughing again. This time, I got infected and joined her too.“Please tell me you got some too?” She quizzed, and my face immediately turned pale with irritation.“Ewwww! You know I’d never do that! That’s cheating!” I quickly countered. “Wow, I think we at least know wh

  • My heart beats for you    A happy ending?!

    RubyI turned on the shower in a hurry, desperate to cool off the rising anger in me. I really don’t understand why Asher keeps disturbing me. I mean, I’m finally giving him the one thing he has desperately wanted from me all along. Peace!That’s what he wants. He wants to be with his mistress peacefully without having to worry about me. I was the fool who thought I could win him over and make him forget the true love of his life. But men aren’t wired that way. They only focus on one thing at a time. It doesn’t matter how enticing the other options are, they could go for those other options for fun, but their hearts will always return to their true owner. In this case, I was the other option who threw herself at him, but the heart wants what it wants. He wants Camila and will always choose her. Now it’s time to choose myself.I took my time in the bathroom, scrubbing every part of my body till I was sparkling clean. I made my way out of the room and just then, the door opened. “I

  • My heart beats for you    It’s over?!

    AsherIt’s been three days since Ruby caught me with Camila at the store. I had thought she needed space to clear her head and would be okay in no time. I was so wrong. She actually got worse with each day. She was giving me silent treatment all through and even when I talk to her, she’d simply ignore me. The few times she made an attempt to talk, they were only one word replies. I had never seen her that way before and I just couldn’t bear it. I tried everything to apologize, but she wouldn’t even give me the chance to do so. A part of me knows she’s not giving room for my apology because she knows she’d cave and forgive me. I don’t think she can fully resist me.Or could she? - I thought to myself as I pushed the door open and walked into the house. Everywhere was quiet, and I immediately knew she’d be upstairs in the room. I checked the dining table and, as usual since the last three days, it was empty. Ruby ate dinner without me again. I went into the kitchen, threw some food

  • My heart beats for you    This isn’t the Ruby I know!

    Asher“I’m not going to say this again, Asher. I’m not in the mood for whatever you have in mind. I’m tired, and I want to sleep. If you’d rather sleep alone in the room, then go on. I’ll gladly move to the next room. It’s only s*ex with you, right? That’s fine, you know where to get it!” I watched through Ruby’s outburst and felt each word piercing deep into my skin. I had never seen her like that before. As if that wasn’t enough, she grabbed my hand, peeled it from her body and then flung it off like it was a piece of trash!I thought I was going crazy. If I had had any drink tonight, I would have assumed I was drunk and maybe my mind was playing tricks on me. Ruby actually said no to me! What!I quietly moved back and just laid there in silence. Many thoughts were going on in my head at the same time and I just didn’t know the one to settle for. I really hurt her this time and she wouldn’t even let me explain things to her. She has all the right to be mad at me. I mean, I did p

  • My heart beats for you    A piece of trash!

    RubyI didn’t react, I didn’t even say a word. I just walked slowly past them while Asher’s tongue was still far down in Camila’s throat. It was really hard to pretend like nothing happened though. I was really boiling inside, and it took a lot of willpower not to pull them apart. I would have been tempted to beat the hell out of Camila, but can I even fault her for any of this? Asher is the one at fault here. He was the one who stood in front of everyone and said his vows. He promised to love me and only me. Camila didn’t break any vows. Asher is the one stepping out on his marriage. If I should pounce on anyone, it would be him!I didn’t do either, so I just walked out quietly like nothing had happened but then, something in me was awakened. A thirst for revenge arose, and I knew I was going to act on it. I don’t know how yet, but I know I can’t keep allowing Asher to treat me this way. I got home and still prepared dinner. The Ruby from a month ago would have probably crawled int

  • My heart beats for you    I knew it!!!

    Ruby“Sir, you have a call, should I put it through?” Linda asked over the phone. I already knew it was Camila on the line. She had called like twice, but I was neck deep into work and just had to ignore it. I had a lot of unfinished work from yesterday because of what happened. I had to leave to make sure my wife was still mine, and she got me hooked so much that I couldn’t come back to work. I was supposed to stop briefly at Camila’s place this morning, but knowing the amount of work waiting at the office, I just had to cancel it. That’s exactly why she’s calling, to get mad at me for not coming and knowing her well, she would distract me from work.“No, Linda. Just tell her I’ll call soon,” I simply said and hung up. I continued working, but my phone started blowing up. I knew she wouldn’t stop, so I just had to answer her.“Hi, my beautiful damsel!” I exclaimed.“Are you breaking up with me?” She let out and I just couldn’t resist the laughter.“Oh my goodness, you’re such a dr
