I returned right in time for dinner that the cook had prepared. It was only June and I at the table and we ate in silence without her making any rude remarks.

She kept swiping through her phone at intervals and smiling. I had the urge to roll my eyes as I guessed she was smiling at her abusive boyfriend's texts.

She left the dining table for her room without eating up to half of what was on her plate. She was just like Angela, my stepsister. Angela ate the same way.

I cleared my plate and took two apples along with me to my room, just in case I needed a night snack. Earlier, I made a decision to cut off all junk snacks, hence, fruits seemed like the best alternative.

I changed into my night dress and sank into the soft bed. I took a bite of the apple and kept staring at the ceiling. What plans could Malcolm have for this contract marriage? I blushed at the thought that we hadn't done most of the things married couples usually did.

We hadn't slept together…

    Issues?There was silence over the line for a few seconds, and for a moment, I thought the call had ended.“Ruby?” Sandra broke the silence. “You're not saying anything.”I took a deep breath. The issues I wanted to complain to her about were my father's state and the behaviour Malcolm had been putting up recently. Owing to the fact that Malcolm had apologized on my birthday with a car, I still wondered if reporting him was necessary. Perhaps he was just overwhelmed about his mother's death at the hospital.I sucked in a deep breath and pressed my back against the headboard.“I found my father.”A gasp from Sandra wafted across the phone speaker.“What? How? When?”“He is unconscious in the hospital.” I continued before she could ask another question.“He was at crimson jail at first. I went to see him and there was an accident. He doesn't know me yet.”“Oh my God. Ruby, why did you withhold all these from me for so long?”“So much happened that day.” I said quietly.“Malcolm came wit

    He unwrapped it. It was a small dark stone carefully wrapped in cloth.There was no way he could have brought that. I recognized it instantly. A half-moon pigment stone. It was the rarest form of art, and almost impossible to find.I didn't take it from him because I was grateful or showing forgiveness. I took it because I was fascinated and excited to finally behold this artpiece. The powder from this stone could be mixed with paint to make the most reflective piece of art.My hands trembled slightly as I held it.Adrian cleared his throat.“You told me about it a lot of times. You said if you ever painted with it, you'd feel extremely happy.”I stretched it towards him, trying hard to hide the fact that I had been excited earlier.“I don't want it.”“Take it, please. Even if you don't accept it as a birthday gift or you don't forgive me, still take it.”I brought the stone closer to myself and settled it on my lap.“I'd take it, but I don't forgive you.”“I hope you'd create somethi

    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
