I rolled my eyes. It was an email, and at first glance, I could tell that it was spam from one of those sites I had given permission to send me emails. I simply ignored it and carried on with my workout routine.

Prior to when I subscribed to the gym, I had done my research about exercises, and if there was one thing I learnt, it was that you can't get fit in one day. A mistake many people made was straining themselves to do everything in one day, whereas, consistency was the key.

  • Worthless In Their Eyes, Perfect In His    Chapter 98

    Malcolm's POVI felt broken after Ruby left. I knew that a time like this will come when she will find out the truth, but apart from all of that, I had really loved her. She had actually been my high school crush in school.I knew I had a curse and the physician I consulted said she had a chance of helping me lift it, but I didn't know how. This was a contract relationship. After six months into the contract marriage and nothing had changed, I had already given up on it.I sighed. Now I had lost her and lost the marriage too. I didn't want Ruby to leave. She claimed that there were only three months left on the marriage contract and there was no need for her to stay. I felt deeply hurt. I knew that she had made a lot of impact during the short while of the marriage. She had even made June open up to her and they had become close friends.I knew this was just a contract and it wasn't supposed to be real, so why did I feel this way. I inhaled deeply. I had to get Ruby back. I needed to

    The next day arrived faster than I expected. I woke up to my alarm ringing, and at the same time I was going to resume work. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and stretched on the bed, followed by a yawn. Today was different. I wasn't planning to go to work. I hadn't called Linda or anyone at the art gallery to inform them that I wouldn't be available.My gaze moved around the room and landed on my packed suitcases in the corner. Right. I had planned to leave today. I glanced at the wall clock. It was 7:30 am. I needed to start preparing.I had my shower and laid out my clothes on the bed. I wore the clothes and looked at myself in the mirror for a while.“You're beautiful,” I heard Erin say in my head.“Thank you, Erin.”Then I felt Joey give a sarcastic purr to Erin. I rolled my eyes. The both of them really weren't getting along. I was excited because I had a lot of gist to share with Sandra. I hadn't updated her on my hybrid status and I knew she would be excited to hear about it.I rolled

    I had already filled my first suitcase and was packing the second smaller one when I heard a knock on the door. I presumed it was Malcolm again, but when I opened the door, I met a different person there. It was June.She was smiling when she saw me and held a book in her hand.“I hope I'm not disturbing anything. Look at what I drew. I got inspired by you.”I took the sketchbook from her. On the front page was a sketch of a bird that resembled a parrot.“It's lovely. You drew it well.”June stepped further into the room and looked around. I noticed her gaze fall to my wardrobe. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the suitcases on the bed.“Why is your wardrobe empty? Did you pack all your stuff? Are you going somewhere?”She faced me, expecting an answer. I hesitated before answering.“I'm leaving tomorrow.”“What?” June snapped, narrowing his eyes again. “Why? Is the contract over? I thought it was supposed to last a year. That's what Malcolm told me. Is he the one telling you to le

    I couldn't sleep that night. I laid down staring at the ceiling and the bright lights were still on. I was thinking about a lot of things. The way Malcolm had responded to me was enough proof for me to know that he knew why he got married to me. And sadly, it wasn't because he admired my body type when others hated it. Rather, it was because of a curse that I didn't even understand the meaning of.Curiosity got the better of me. I took out my phone and browsed what a starlight curse meant. I brought the phone closer to my face and read the results.A starlight curse was a defect in a werewolf where their wolf seems abnormal and can cease to awaken at some point. It is said to have no cure, but some studies say that being around rare witches can help lift such a curse. Sometimes, the curse is associated with death. Also, most cursed persons are born with the curse and it manifests when they find their wolf.I swallowed hard and felt a chill run down my spine after I had read that. I ha

    I stood at the spot for a while after my father left. Everything felt quite confusing. I didn't know the questions to ask if someone wanted to help me understand things. My father had mentioned something about Malcolm needing me for the starlight curse. What did that even mean?I headed home but I was walking slowly instead of jogging. My father had left. He had left me feeling unsettled about everything. The last time I met him, he had been locked up. How did he manage to escape and meet me?I soon reached the mansion. I saw one of the cars I hadn't seen before leaving parked outside. It was Malcolm's car. That made me know that Malcolm had returned.I entered the mansion and met Malcolm seated at the dining table and having dinner. June wasn't there with him. He was there alone. I took a deep breath. I had a ton of questions to ask him.“Ruby, you're back. How did the event go?”I moved closer to him. “I didn't win the competition, but it was a good one. I still got recognized by on

    Ruby's POVEvening soon arrived. I slept for a short while and woke up to jog. I grabbed a sweat shirt and loose pants from my wardrobe. I wore them and stood, looking at the mirror. It was only then that I saw the curves that Malcolm had mentioned. I had curves. I had just never taken them into consideration. And what was my height? Five feet and a few inches more, I wasn't sure.I strapped on a smart watch to track my steps and the time. I headed downstairs. June was on the living room couch. She looked up when she saw me approach.“Going somewhere?” She asked, raising her head from the novel she was reading.“I'm going to jog.”She shrugged. “Okay,” and returned her focus back to her book.I felt a warmness in my chest. I smiled as I walked to the door. I couldn't imagine that I and June were finally getting along. It was the same June who had seemed like an antagonist all the while. But here we were, talking line none of that had ever happened. She had even apologized to me. I was

    “Everything listed seems believable to me. I took a loan for you, and you've got to repay it. It shouldn't be that hard to comprehend.”My fingers trembled as I held the papers. Mother watched me with an expectant stare. It told me that she saw me as nothing more than a bill, and she finally had to

    I took a deep breath to calm my frayed nerves. What could possibly go wrong? They wouldn't be able to hit me like they did before. They could say mean things to me, and I can simply ignore them, and I doubt if Christian would dare touch me again.Better still, I could ignore their message. Curiosit

    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 boyf

    He fidgeted with his sleeves and pockets, constantly shoving his hands into them and bringing them out.“This is Mr. Adrian Emerson.” Roselyn introduced.She motioned towards me. “Mr. Adrian, this is Mrs. Ruby,”“It's a pleasure meeting you ma'am,” Adrian said as he stretched his hand for a handsha
