Jennie Ruby Jane Novels & Stories

Who was to say that Killian's intentions were pure? Ruby turned to Killian, her gaze steady and resolute, refusing to be swayed by the worry she could see emanating from the depths of his eyes. "But, I don't need someone to look after me, Killian." she clarified, her words punctuated by a heavy sigh, "I have the power to take care of myself and whatever consequences come with that — whether I live or die, is my decision alone. Whether I die through my choices nor survived... that's all in me."

she spoke, narrowing her eyes and pretending to sound serious. “Huh? Mom, what are you doing?” Ruby flinched away, looking at her mom as if she was crazy. “It’s teenage-itus,” Jen replied with sarcasm. “That isn’t even an actual condition,” Ruby countered with an eye-roll, slapping Jen’s hand away with a smirk. “No, but they’ll start putting syndrome after your name if you’re not careful,” Jen retorted.

Is it just a coincidence that the vice president and president of Loser Club both have last names from the end of the alphabet? Jane was sitting in Ms. Reeds' English class, waiting for the stragglers to come in from study hall and scribbling a couple of quick entries in the Unfair Life. Jane had been so busy lately bouncing and reading Dickens that she had gotten behind in her record keeping. These days fewer unfair things seemed to be happening in her immediate vicinity. Or maybe she was just too preoccupied with the rest of her life to notice them.

JANE I heard the words leave my mouth before I could stop them. "It's only fair to end this with a little bit of crass, is it not?" His eyebrows went up. Interest flickered across his face. I stood, tucking the bills into my purse with deliberate slowness. Five hundred dollars. That was textbooks and maybe even groceries that weren't ramen. My hands weren't shaking anymore. I was Jailbird now. Fully Jailbird. Jane Puckett was locked away somewhere safe.

Even if he is not with me, I wish him all the happiness in life and the future; I wish that I can say the same for myself. "Hey guys," I turned my head watching Brandon inside, washing his hands, before sitting beside Jane, "How is my big boy," Brandon smiled, cuddling Liam in his arms. God, they look so cute with Jane snuggling with Marline and Brandon with Liam and with them playing and snuggling with each other's kids. This image is so cute that I'm so jealous. I picked up the phone and clicked a few pictures, not letting this perfect moment go uncaptured, "So cute..," my words came louder than I accepted and both Jane and Brandon turned their head at me, "Rachel,"

"Since you invented the anti-zombie spray, you must be an expert in the field. You must've heard of our company." Ruby nodded knowingly. "Oh, you're from Dawn Holdings. I remember now. I evaluated several of your group's research projects back then." Alex froze. Anyone qualified to evaluate Dawn Holdings' research was a true authority in the field. He looked at the young woman in front of him, a name suddenly surfacing in his mind. "Wait. Are you… Rue?" Ruby smiled faintly. "Just call me Aunt Ruby. I don't go by that anymore." Alex's eyes widened.

It was a young woman and an old one, and she immediately knew who they were, right before Summer and Spring shouted in happiness and ran to them. Duke smiled but remained beside Ruby. When the greetings were over, she walked with Duke to them to greet Cameron’s sister and grandmother, introducing herself. "My name is Ruby Miller. I'm the nanny.” She said. The younger woman extended her hand to her with a smile. "It's nice to meet you, Ruby. I'm Cameron’s sister; Sarah. You're beautiful.” She said, complimenting her. Ruby smiled and nodded her head. "You too, Sarah.” She said, walking to the grandmother to introduce herself as well. "Mrs. MacMillan. It's nice to meet you.” She said.

I asked, looking around. “You didn't come with your phone yesterday, mistress," Jane replied. “And please, call me Jane, not Ma'am." “Please call me Jade, not Mistress," I said. Realization dawned on me that Ruby held my phone and my clutch purse yesterday. In the chaos that went down, I didn't remember to get my phone from her. Shit! I had no way of contacting anyone again. What the hell was I thinking? “Lunch is waiting, Mistress– ugh, Jade,” Jane stammered.

And Ruby also noticed that there three more ladies with them. “Oh, you came, Ruby, come and have a seat,” Anna said, faking a huge smile on her face. Ruby took a seat next to her. “Ladies, this is Ruby Bakers. She is Luke's girlfriend.” And then Anna turned to Ruby and spoke, “And This is Vivian Moore, Susie Adams, and Amelia Gordons,” Anna did the introduction by pointing at each and every woman. Ruby was damn sure that the ladies also belonged to the business families. If not, why would Anna make friends with them right?

But as soon as she saw Amelia, she was just Amelia, just like the old Ruby. Even after marriage, Ruby remained dazzling. If it weren't for her illness, people wouldn't say how Mrs. Cromwell was. Ruby had been waiting for the Molson family's appearance, and today everything became clearer to her about Zane. Including those materials, every detail was enough to make her feel cold-hearted. Zane could say that he didn't know, but he just let that nanny stay by his side. The nanny had already started plotting to make her have an abortion before Amelia was even born.
