Ruby

"Get ready to pick up your sister's corpse the next time you come to the hospital!" The voice from the other end of the line barked at Ruby, causing a cold shiver to run down her back. "Wha-what?" Ruby muttered. "What do you mean by corpse?"""I'm afraid your sister's treatment has been put on hold due to unpaid bills, Miss Ruby." The nurse replied with a much sharper tone now.Ruby sighed, tears welling up in her eyes. "Please, I'm begging. Don't take her off treatment, you know she needs it, Ma'am""If you think I'd keep giving her drugs and injections when you are yet to pay the money you owe the hospital, and risk losing my job, then you need to have a rethink, Miss Ruby!""I'll try to pay up, just don't abandon her in that state, please""My hands are tied. You need to pay before anything else can be done. Do you want to see her dead?""No!" Ruby cried out."Then, pay your debt so we can resume treatment on her!" With that, the call ended..Tears streamed freely out of Ruby's

married to a stranger

Chapter 2"Tell me, Ruby!" The male voice behind her said, "Are you selectively deaf? I'm certain you heard me quite well."Slowly, she swung around to face the man. There was an obvious look of disdain on his face. He raised a finger and flicked it at her, urging her to edge close to him. Ruby was stunned, barely able to believe what was happening. Did he just agree to make her his wife in exchange for any money she requests for? She was at a loss at whether to cry or smile, rather she remained numb, staring down at the man. "If we will pull this off, you need to stop acting like an aged donkey!" The man snapped.She nodded. "I asked earlier, what gave you the courage to approach me?" "You look like a man in need of a wife," Ruby stated bluntlyThe man frowned. He cast a glance at his wristwatch, and let out a long hiss. She was right. He needed a wife. The woman he had agreed with to sign the documents with him had stood him up, even after he explained how important it was.

Rules

Chapter 3"Don't give me that look!" Jaxon said sharply as he shoved his phone into his pockets. "You look like you've just seen a ghost!"Ruby swallowed hard. "Don't you want to leave? Get into the car, let's drop you off at the restaurant""Oh-yeah," She muttered and went in.After the driver drove for some minutes, Jaxon broke the silence in the car. "Have this!" He said, handing his phone to her.Her right eyebrow shot up, "Why?""Take this!" He said with impatience, "Ruby, one rule you must obey as long as we interact is to do whatever I say. Now, get this phone!" His voice was firmerWith shaky hands, she collected the phone, eying him. The other men in the car were silent and a soft music played in the car radio."Now, input your phone number in there." He said.She nodded and started to punch her number in, eager to please him. He had such a controlling aura that left her with no choice than to do whatever he wanted. He snatched the phone from her and saved her number."Wha

Masked party

Chapter 4"You don't just ring up my line, after making me sign a marriage contract with you and ghosting me," Ruby yelled in annoyance on the phone at the same man she was trying her best to forget.There was a short silence on the other end of the line."I know you heard me, Mr. Jaxon!" She said, more angered by his silence, "You went two weeks without speaking to me, I'm sure you can make it two years" She mocked."Watch your tone!" Jaxon's deep voice replied, "You're my wife now, and you'll do as I say." "I'm not your wife, not in any real sense. And I'm at work right now, so I can't just drop everything for you.""You'll quit that job, effective immediately," Jaxon ordered, "I don't want my contracted wife working in a place like that. You need to be available whenever I desire."Ruby's face flushed with anger. Her hands trembled as she gripped the phone. "You can't just dictate my life like that! I won't quit my job, and I won't be at your beck and call."Jaxon let out a mirth

early?

Chapter 6early?Ruby laid on the bed, enjoying her quiet sleep. One that she hadn't gotten for weeks as she was running away looking for how to pay for her sister's treatment.Now that she found a way to save her and finally did, it was only right for her to get a good sleep.She groaned, rolling on her medium-sized bed as she stretched out her hands yawning loudly.“So peaceful..” she muttered, reaching out her hand for her phone that was lying on a nearby cupboard.She turned on the power button to check what the time was only to see a message on her screen.“I'll be at your place in thirty minutes, don't keep me waiting!” That was the exact message on her phone.She blinked her eyes as she tossed the phone away, wanting to return back to sleep.A few minutes later, she snapped her eyes open as realization hit her.“Oh my gosh!!” She gasped as she sat up from the bed almost immediately.“I literally forgot about this..” she gasped jumping out of the bed the next second. She had a d

paparazzi

Chapter six After a long and quiet ride, they finally arrived at the venue of the party, ruby sighed in awe at how beautiful the place was. There were lots of paparazzi around, taking pictures of the people. Ruby couldn't help but wonder how rich Jaxon was, he had an expensive car and had taken her to an occasion that screamed of luxury. Who exactly was he? “Here.” He handed over a silver mask to Ruby who slowly collected it from him. “Put it on..” he instructed as he wore his own black mask. Ruby lifted the mask up to her face as she wore it as well. “Don't talk to anybody and stick to me” he instructed as Ruby shook her head slowly. “If you do a good job, you'll be rewarded” he added as the driver stepped out of the car, to open the car door for them. Jaxon stepped out first before stretching out his hand for Ruby. “Come on..” “All you need to do is smile, and look happy, you're not an old hag.” He whispered coldly to her ears leading her towards a red carpet. “Over here

thief

Chapter sevenRuby walked amongst the group of people as she walked to the bathroom. She needed time to breathe, she clearly did not fit in the world of the rich.She was about to get to the bathroom when she accidentally bumped into someone and the person’s drink spilled all over her.“Oh my gosh!” Ruby exclaimed as she looked at her dress which had been completely ruined and stained with red wine.“Oh no, this dress was hella expensive!” She muttered as she bit her lips in frustration. How was she going to explain to Jaxon that she ruined the dress he had gotten for her because she was not looking???“I’m so sorry miss, I really am sorry” The lady who had accidentally spilled the drink on her apologized.Ruby froze as all the hairs on her body stood. That voice!!! Even if she was sleeping, there was no way she would not recognize the voice. It was Ophelia. Her best friend!! she was at the party, but how? Ophelia never mentioned that she was attending any party.Ruby bit her lips har

Deserted

Chapter Eight Ruby didn't utter a word while she was inside the car with Jaxon, even as the driver drove off.She could tell that he was really pissed but how was any of it her fault.Just when she thought that he was not going to scold her, his voice thundered in the car.“What was that shit that you displayed???” He asked, his eyes blazing with anger as she glared at Ruby.“I'm sorry..” she apologized in a low voice.“Sorry for your damn self!” He snapped at her.“Now tell me why you pulled that stunt, have you gone mad??” He questioned.“What was I supposed to do? Your rules clearly state that no one should know about our marriage and that lady was my best friend. How was I going to explain myself to her?” Ruby pointed out defending herself but Jaxon was not taking any of that.“Is that the reason you disgraced me? You were sitting on the ground in front of a lot of people. My wife” He scoffed in sarcasm.“She was so intent on talking to me, she also called me a thief, I feel beca

best friend

Chapter nine“Ruby, are you in there??” Ophelia knocked on Ruby's door loudly, in the early hours of the morning.“Ruby!!!!” She yelled, knocking loudly, not caring if she disturbed the neighbors.She had already called Ruby, but she got no answer.“Who's that?” Ruby muttered to herself as she stretched out her arms and legs, yawning loudly.“RUBYYYYYY” Ophelia screamed.“Oh my gosh!” Ruby gasped, startled as she fell off the couch she was lying on.“Ophelia? What's she doing here?” She asked herself, as she slowly sat up from the ground.She was so exhausted that she slept off on the couch.After walking miles last night, she finally found a taxi and the first thing she did was freshen up and then she fell asleep.Jaxon was a real demon that needed to be avoided and she prayed that he never called her again.“Ruby??” Ophelia called again, as she was sure that her friend was inside.“I'm coming” Ruby replied as she stood up from the ground in a flash.“Just a minute “ she added walkin

perverted eyes

Chapter 10Jaxon barged into his assistant and best friend, Damon's office without knocking. He immediately regretted doing so.“Eww” his face scrunched up in disgust, as the lady who was in between Damon's legs, immediately moved away from him covering her face.“Seriously dude” Damon groaned, buttoning up his pants, the lady stood up from the ground as she dashed out of the office the next minute.“You should have at least knocked” Damon rolled his eyes as Jaxon sat on the chair opposite his friend.“And you should know the right place to bring whores to, not an office!” Jaxon fired at him.“Trust me, man. Doing it in the office just hits different” Damon smiled as Jaxon scoffed inwardly.“And you should do that sometime, I can arrange someone for you” he winked at Jaxon who frowned.“Shut up!!” He snapped at him.“Did you manage to stop my old man from coming?” He questioned about the reason why he had come to Damon's office in the first place.“Yes I did” “Your grandfather is not
