Ruby A Novel Novels & Stories

The first novel I read was by Louisa May Alcott; Little Woman, and then moved on to other feminist novels such as Handmaid's Tale and Pride and Prejudice—the book I'm holding right now. Well, I shouldn't be going around the library looking for a novel I like because what I'm supposed to be doing is taking care of a crazy bastard named Rhysand del Millero, who's on the phone. But I don't want to do that. I'd rather buy time with the books in front of me until the helicopter he's waiting for comes over to the bullshit he started. Damn, I hate this situation. I hate being stuck with a domineering, powerful man who loves to be heard more than to hear, and hates that I can't do anything.

It was most likely the bed warmer. Rhys handed Amira the book he’d been reading. It was the book she’d been reading the night before. It had been years since she’d read a good book, and since her scheming had recently come to a halt, she decided to pick this one up. It was a romantic tragedy, something she didn’t think she would find in the library. But one that she was instantly immersed in and fell asleep to.

Rayan rolled over in the soft sheets when the sunlight touched his face. He slowly opened his eyes, letting his eyes to see the sun rays. Slowly he pushed himself out of bed, glancing around the room. He noticed a messy assortment of notebooks, some picture albums, and other stuff on a table in the corner of the room. Why does he feel so much better? This morning feels different. Special. He was under the same roof with Crystal and Anne. He let out a soft laugh. Even his big mansion, his large master bedroom wasn't able to give him this faint feeling. Never ever.

I thought you’d never change your hair as you said nine years ago on your post?” he said still not looking at me as he walked towards the window.

That was why when she woke up before dawn the next day, she tried to sneak out of the apartment. She put her ears against the next door. So quiet. Ruby was still sleeping. Nova quickly took a shower and put on a simple T-shirt and a miniskirt. She combed her messy black hair. Her original hair was blonde but it was dyed black. She whispered to Sophia on the phone to get the car ready, putting on her favorite purple sneakers. Hanging up the phone, she held the doorknob. An ad showed on the screen. A booming voice declared:

Greeting Everyone! As you know, King of the Ruby Crown has come to its end! Thank you so much to everyone who was with me from the start, it's been a rollercoaster, and I'm so emotional because it has ended! This story was my baby, it meant a lot, and all your support meant the world. Thank you so much for everything far, and hope to keep seeing you around my books! Now that this is done, I will proceed and invite you to join me on the Journey of Dominique and Allorah on my new book Goddess of the Diamond.

They call me 205 because out of all the two hundred and five kids they kidnapped when they found me, I was the only survivor after their first experiment. But a long time ago, someone gave me a name. An angel that promised to take me out of this hellhole. She told me I'd be able to see what humans called the moon and stars. She named me Ruby. A red precious stone because you're a precious little thing. The name also matches your pretty red hair, she had said smiling. I was only six years old at that time... Or was it seven? I may not know what ‘red precious stone’ means but the name Ruby sounded nice.

Who still has time to blush and heartbeat? Liang Xia didn't feel like in idol novels. After listening to someone's voice, she can feel at ease in Barabala... Now she only feels more panicked than before, and her feet are kicking underwater. The hands that drag into Su Lixin's arm can't wait to dig into his flesh. It's not the romance of flesh and blood, you have me and you, but the fear that the other party will leave her behind.

I say, furrowing my eyebrows at her question, "My room is bare and I want things that I like to decorate it." Hestia's expression softens, "Well you should have told me. We would have come here first if I had known. I don't know anything about you Violet. I hate to admit it, but I had assumed you were like all the other girls Anthony has encountered. Hence the reason why I took you into those clothing stores in the first place." I pick up the pajama set from the shelf beside me, "Would any of those girls like this talking cactus?" Hestia laughs, "Not at all. It's good to know that you aren't like those other girls at all."

I stared at the blinking cursor for a long second before saying, “No. Just the ones that deserve it.” The room went quiet again, except for the soft clicking of keys. Paragraph after paragraph, the story unfolded—the empire, the deaths, the deceit. Every word felt like tearing something open inside me, but also freeing it. By the time I was done, the light outside had gone from gold to gray. Ruby had fallen asleep on the couch, one arm draped over her belly, her breathing slow and steady. I sat back, reading through the last line again. My chest ached, but it felt… right. Like finally stepping into my own storm.
