더 보기Ruby's POVIt had been days since Amanda’s meltdown, yet I could still hear the way she screamed at Richard Harlow everytime I closed my eyes. It was like music to my ears. I kept replaying it, like an old wound I wouldn’t let scab over. But nothing took my attention more than Jason.I walked into the study late that afternoon, while Richard was away from the house. Jason was there, slouched in the leather chair in the study and flipping through some files. His pen scratched the margins. His focus stayed on the files like nothing outside those papers mattered.For silent seconds, I stood there and stared at him. My chest tightened. Jason Harlow, the man who once held my heart in his palm. The man I once thought I’d build a life with. The same man who had taken everything from me.I forced my voice to stay steady. “Are you busy?”He didn’t even lift his head properly, just flicked his eyes up for half a second before dragging them back to the pages. “Clearly, I'm busy. What the hell do
Ruby's POVRichard's wife’s scream rattled the room.“HOW DARE YOU!” she shouted, jabbing her finger at Richard like she wanted to pierce his chest with it. “After everything I did for you? After all the years I carried this marriage on my back? You throw me away for this... this little swine?”Her eyes shot towards me when she spat that word, burning holes straight through me. All I did was smile at the woman. She could call me all the names in the world, but this was my moment. I so loved watching them tear each other apart like this.But Richard stepped toward her, arms half-raised as if to calm her. “Amanda....”“Don’t you ‘Amanda’ me! You bastard!" She cut him off and shoved his chest with both hands. "I stood by you when no one else would. I swallowed my pride, I fought your battles, I made this family stand. And this is my reward? A slap in the face? A cheap little girl in my bed?”Her hand swung up fast, aiming for his cheek. But Richard caught her wrist midair and shoved her
Ruby’s POVI hadn’t expected things to move this fast.Richard Harlow was a fool. He was the kind of man who craved attention like a hungry dog. He had a wife, children and an empire to protect, but none of that mattered the second I walked into his life. He was weak enough to fall for any woman who made him feel wanted, so I used that weakness against him.Two weeks. That was all it took.Every night after work, I met him in his private suite, playing the role of the devoted lover. I let him believe he was my entire world, that I adored him and that I couldn’t live without him. It disgusted me, touching and sleeping with the man who had destroyed my family, but it was necessary. He needed to trust me completely before I made my move.He was obsessed with me now. Even at work, he couldn’t go a day without calling me into his office, finding an excuse to keep me close. A man in his fifties acting like a lovesick fool. I had him exactly where I wanted him.And then I pushed for more.
Ruby’s POV (Ten years later...) I stared at my reflection, studying the face I had worn for the past ten years. It was still strange, even after all this time. Kairo had chosen it for me; it was a face that wouldn’t draw too much attention, yet beautiful enough to slip into any room unnoticed until it was too late. The changes weren’t drastic. A nose job to soften my features, liposuction to refine my jawline and my once-blonde hair was now dyed black. I dragged a hand through the strands, letting them fall over my shoulders. The woman staring back wasn’t the girl I used to be. That girl had died along with her family. Now, I was someone else. I was The Ghost. That was what they called me in the mafia underworld. It was a name that was whispered with fear. A name I had earned through blood and fire. Kairo had trained me to be untouchable, ruthless and precise.
