"What is funny?"

"You," he said and kept a straight face. "The way you said that, like you were bracing for a fight."

I said nothing.

"Ruby." He said my name in that way that he stressed on the last syllable, "I am not a dictator."

"You made me quit my job,"

"I handled that badly and I already apologized for it. That is different. I had reasons for that. An art competition is not the same thing."

I looked at him. "So you are not going to tell me not to enter."

"Why would I tell you not to enter

  • Worthless In Their Eyes, Perfect In His    Chapter 110

    My father stood up and held a stick in his hand in a combat position. Sandra had also come out from the room and looked absolutely surprised as she had a hand over her mouth.The cloaked person stepped forward and two others followed behind her. I could see that it was a woman. She looked at the paper that my father had given me and she chuckled. She walked closer to me, but my father stepped forward and blocked her path.“Don't. She isn't for you.”“Oh Sebat, how do you never learn? Do you really think you can block me from taking the most precious thing? She has awakened and she needs to come with us.”I looked confused. I didn't fully understand what was happening. She had called my father Sebat, what was that even supposed to mean?“Step away,” father said in a deeper voice. He brandished the stick in the air and was already giving threats. He glanced at me. “Ruby, go into the bedroom. Don't come out until I say you should.”I took a step backwards and was about to leave, when I f

    Sandra shook her head. “No. It's awfully late, who could that even be?”We stared at each other for a short while before Sandra got to the door. I was about to leave the room, but when I saw who was at the door, I was utterly stunned. I stared in disbelief.The man entered the house and Sandra stepped aside for him to enter.“D… Dad? What are you doing here?”He coughed and looked at me with a wry smile. “That's not the right way to say hi to your father. I already texted you that I'd be coming to see you.”I narrowed my eyes at him, still feeling very stunned. “And how did you know about my location?”He chuckled and proceeded to sit on the chair without invitation. “Ruby, I know your witch powers have awakened. I just want to talk more about it.”I glanced at Sandra. Sandra shrugged. She was just looking at what was happening without doing anything.“Has your inner witch spoken to you since the first time she awakened?”“Father, I need you to know that you can't just waltz in here a

    The date soon came to an end. We spoke about a couple of other things and I noticed Adrian glancing at me. Anytime I turned in his direction, he pretended like he wasn't looking at me and looked away. I felt irritated. I wanted to flash at him and tell him to stop staring at me. It was getting really annoying at the moment.He stood up and walked towards my table. My heartbeat quickened and I was shocked at why he was coming closer. Malcolm turned towards him.Adrian stretched out his hand for a handshake with Malcolm. “I'm one of the business partners at your company. I didn't think you would recognize me.”“Oh, Adrian… It's great to see you. I almost forgot that you were the one.”Adrian smiled, then he turned to me. “Hello ma'am. I hope you're enjoying your time here.”I forced a smile and replied to him with one word. “Yes,”He returned to his seat and I noticed him wink at me. I almost puked. How disgusting. Did that bastard just wink at me? I was sure that he was never intereste

    There was a slice of chocolate cake on the plate. But that wasn't all. There was also something on the plate that made my heart beat faster. There were words written with icing on the side of the cake. I read them and my heart beat a bit faster. “Will you be my girlfriend?”“Malcolm?” I muttered as I narrowed my eyes at him. “What is this, Malcolm?”He took a deep breath and faced me. “Ruby, I know we've had our differences. I know it was a contract agreement, but now I'm asking you to start over for real without a contract binding us. Will you be my girlfriend and grow with me?”I nearly spat out the water I was drinking. I was too stunned to think of a proper response to give. It meant Sandra's guess wasn't wrong at all. Sandra had already predicted that he wanted to ask me out. I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came out. I was lost for what to say.Malcolm kept looking at me. Creases had formed around his forehead. I wondered if he was already thinking that I wouldn'

    I felt uneasy that very moment. Why exactly was he looking at me that way? Was there something on my face or was it something about my dress? I didn't know. His mouth was even wide.He closed his mouth and smiled. He stood up and held my hands. “Ruby, you look stunning. The dress suits you perfectly.”I smiled. “Thank you.”Gosh. He almost gave me a heart attack. Was it because of how beautiful I looked that he kept looking at me like that.“I'm sorry to keep you waiting.”“Not at all. It's my pleasure to be kept waiting. A beautiful angel needs all the time to get dressed.”I almost blushed, but tried hard to suppress it. Malcolm had his way of playing around with words and just giving me butterflies in my belly.I was very curious about what he wanted to tell me this evening and I remembered what Sandra said and wondered if it was true. Well, I was about to find out. He stretched out his elbow and I placed my hand in it.Sandra waved at me from the corner where she stood and I waved

    I returned to sitting on the sofa and I still had my sketchbook in my hand. I sat cross-legged and placed the sketchbook on my thighs as I drew. I made a drawing of a living room scenery, although I didn't draw it exactly to look like Sandra's living room. I still added some similar things like the flower by the side and the television.I kept the sketchbook aside on the chair and in a short while, I felt my eyes flutter. I was feeling sleepy and I couldn't help myself. Maybe it was because I kept waking up in the night to check my father's message that I didn't get any sleep at all. I yawned. I felt really sleepy. I still had to keep the dinner with Malcolm at mind and I hoped I wouldn't oversleep and pass the time.Who cares? Even if I overslept, Malcolm was the one who offended me and he was the one meant to stay up to wait for me to arrive. I rolled my eyes at the thought of it and yawned again. A thought that I didn't know could resurface actually did.An image of Adrian popped u

    “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
