Ruby's POV

I doubted if I could sleep through the night. Since I and Sandra left the meeting, my mind had been unsettled. While I sat in a corner of the house, wondering what my tomorrow's punishment would be, Sandra was the exact opposite of me.

She twirled around in the room, clutching her contract papers to her chest like they were sacred. She kept talking about Eleanor's words and about more opportunities that could come her way. Her voice pitched high, and I felt like screaming just to silence her.

I sat on the couch, my outing dress and makeup still sat on my body. The weight of Mr. Malcolm's words lodged in my chest. His parting words of how he would penalize me at work made me dread how the next day would be.

Sandra noticed that I wasn't adding anything to her talk. “Ruby,” she said, moving to the sofa beside me. Her perfume still clung to her body even after taking off the dress. “You have to stop looking like the world is ending. Nothing happened, he even helped us.”

    They actually left without me. I visited my father's ward again, before finding my way back home. I wanted to stop at Sandra's place, to let her know about everything. She barely knew about my search for my father because I hadn't mentioned it to her.I overheard Malcolm's conversation from my room, where he was already making plans for his mum's burial.I let out a sigh and crashed on my bed to take a nap before I attended my night jogs.Unfortunately for me, I slept through the evening till the next morning.**************The ringing of my phone was what woke me up. I needlessly consulted the wall clock and it revealed the time to be 9am. I sat upright. I had slept a little too long. The hospital visit really exhausted me.I squinted at the screen. It was Sandra calling. A smile tugged at my lips as I already guessed the reason for her call.“Happy birthday in advance!” Sandra sang through the phone. “Or should I say, happy almost birthday.”I exhaled a quiet laugh. “You're super e

    The doctor and several nurses rushed in. He took his stethoscope off his chest and placed it on the woman's chest, while using the other hand to adjust something on her support device.“Mum! Mum! Please hold on mum.” June screamed and tapped her mother.I stood at the side as Malcolm paced restlessly. I think the doctor requested that we move outside because Malcolm and June began walking out.June was biting her long fingernails and tears flowed down her face as she sobbed. She looked worse than when I saw her in the toilet after her boyfriend slapped her.I felt like saying something, just anything to comfort her, but I restrained myself. I couldn't stand her lashing her hate at me when I was just trying to help.“This is bad luck.” June said with a raised voice.She pointed at me and sneered. “You. All this bad luck is because of you. Mother had never reacted this way all these while, until you decided to accompany us with your bad luck. You…”“JUNE!” Malcolm called out and held he

    I felt like I wasn't in control of my body when I pressed my head on his shoulder. Before I could get off, his hand had already settled on my waist and he drew me closer to him.“It's going to be fine. I also have a relative who's in the hospital.”I nodded slowly and sniffed and a tear drop escaped from my eye. Before I could blink it away, more rolled down my face.Malcolm lifted his hand to my shoulder and tapped me lightly.“Don’t cry please. Everything would be sorted out.”“I…I…” I stuttered as I tried to say something, but the tears clouded my speech.I couldn't fathom if they were tears of sadness or from happiness. Maybe I was happy that I finally saw my father after all these years, and I was also sad because of the numerous thoughts running through my head.I gripped Malcolm's shirt unknowingly.He loosened my hand on his shirt.“Come on. Let's head outside.” He led me out of my father's ward. We were now standing outside and my face was still hanging low, buried in his shi

    Ruby's POVI didn't need anyone to tell me how the rest of my day would go. Waking up in Malcolm's bed was embarrassing enough. I had questions at the back of my mind, but I couldn't ask him.How did he even carry me to the room, and where did he sleep? Surely, he didn't sleep on the same bed as me.But he came out with a towel around his waist, walking around comfortably. That made me feel like we had shared a bed.‘Forget it, Ruby’ I snapped at myself, forcing my focus elsewhere. I had more pressing issues to be concerned about. I needed to see my dad at the hospital.The stench of the alcohol still lingered on me. I still felt a bit lightheaded from last night. I let out a relieved sigh as I crashed into the bed in my room.Just a few more minutes of rest before I get ready for the day. My body intensely begged for rest.I wasn't aware when I closed my eyes and drifted back to sleep.*****************I woke up and sat upright in an instant, with adrenaline surging through me. A gl

    A yawn was the first thing that escaped my mouth. I opened my eyes partially and stretched my arms before closing my eyes.My forehead throbbed intensely and I took my palm to touch it. It burned like I was seated near a furnace.When the veil of sleepiness cleared from my eyes, I raised my head and looked around my surroundings in utter confusion.The last place I remembered was the bar, drinking glasses of the infamous Devil's rum. How the heck did I get into this room? I was lying on a king-sized bed.I gasped as I reached for the back of my dress—the zipper was undone. I jerked and stumbled out of the bed.The portrait of Malcolm on the wall revealed to me that this was his room, but how did I get here?“Sandra?” I called out as I walked around the room. My legs wobbled as I moved. I felt like weights were attached to my legs.“Ruby, you're awake.” Malcolm's voice rang out from the far corner.It was obvious that he was coming from the bathroom because a towel was wrapped around

    A tall man in a prison guard uniform walked towards us.“Coffee?” He asked, holding out a tray with two mugs while he held another which belonged to him in his other hand.“Thank you,” I muttered as I took mine. “No, thanks.” Millicent objected.“Really? This is the best black coffee you can find, and you'd need to be awake till your person is brought out.”“I'd try it then,” She shrugged and took the mug.She blew on the contents and took a sip, grimacing her face before she swallowed.“It's nice.” She smiled.I did a mental eye roll. I didn't know if she was lying, because this was the worst coffee I had ever tasted.The warden took his hat off before leaving.“How much longer do we have to wait?” I said tiredly as I set the cup of the disastrous coffee aside.“I don't know. I've never done this, but there is tons of paperwork to be done before we can be allowed access.”I was already tapping my feet restlessly on the floor. The wall clock did more to upset me as each tick that I h
