What Happened To Max And Ruby's Parents Novels & Stories

Jennifer asked, "Can I have a look?" "Yes." Maxwell moved to the window and gazed at the dark skies outside, his gaze distant and melancholic. Jennifer picked up the photo album and flipped through it. Up until Maxwell was five, his photos were like those of many children. He was innocent and lively, with both parents and Grandpa. But later, his mother disappeared from the album… then his father… Only Robert remained. However, Maxwell's smile was gone. Despite his young age, he looked stern in every photo and looked mature beyond his age.

Ruby’s decrees were nailed on every post: Harborers of oath-bound traitors will be branded enemies of the crown. Citizens read them with blank faces, but silence was not obedience. Whispers slipped between doorframes, along laundry lines, beneath market stalls. Whispers of Maxim digging children from rubble, of him speaking Elira’s name as if it still held power. Whispers that the Hollow’s shadow fed on fear, not on memory. And still, Ruby burned. In the western reach, her guards dragged a family into the square, accusing them of sheltering Maxim’s oath-bound. Their pleas fell on deaf ears. Ruby herself descended, her cloak trailing embers.

"Max come on___" "Do you know how ridiculous you sounded? Mumbling your f*cking 'mumbo- jambo' sh*t about being worried sick about me? And love? You f*cking disgust me!" "Oh come on Max! You haven't even stayed an hour in this place! Your father is Michael f*cking Carlisle! I knew you wouldn't have stayed detained for long... your father would have immediately bailed you out... and he has! Me on the other hand, I'm a nobody... my father's a nobody! If I got caught, I wouldd have had nobody to bail me___"

“I heard that she froze to death at a rest stop. Why were her parents so careless?” “Poor thing. It’s supposed to be a joyous time, yet this happened…” My mother was kneeling before the coffin as she sobbed pitifully. She kept repeating, “Myra, I know my mistake… It’s my fault… Please come back to me…” My father stood next to her with tears in his eyes. He looked like he had aged ten years in a matter of days. Mandy was also crying sadly. She touched my photo and whispered, “Myra, I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have cut the queue the other day… I’m sorry…”

CHAPTER 120 RUBY'S POV “Tell me again, Patricia. What did you just say?” Dax asked Patricia again just to be sure he heard correctly and she giggled. “Stop acting so surprised like you don't know about it already. Ruby told me when she came over for our date you know? She said you're both Sally's parents and she also said she would come clean to you which I'm sure she has already done and I have to say… I planned to tell you guys when you know the truth, that you're a perfect duo to have kids. Your children are going to look like angels”

“But look what happened! You came back and went after my son. You ruined his engagement and drove away Coco! You and your mother love being mistresses so much, huh? Aren’t you afraid karma will catch up with you? “What, did every other man on earth die? Why are you two so obsessed with the men in my family? “And that car accident you got into as a child left you hemorrhaging, so you had to have your uterus removed. I was the one who donated my blood and saved your life! Is this how you repay me?! “You could’ve lied about anything, but you actually claimed you were carrying my son’s child! Do you think I'm dead?” Ruby's face was drained of color. “That's not true! You're the one who’s lying!

My parents returned quickly—early the next morning, they were home. Shane, still irritated from their scolding, forced me to sit on the sofa all night. I hadn't slept, my stomach ached, and cold sweat drenched me. I felt utterly drained. Yet, when my parents arrived, I rose to my feet like a reflex. In my mind, they had died five years ago. Now, seeing them alive and well at home felt like a dream. "Lily, do you understand what you did wrong?"

Unable to handle the abuse, she jumped to her death. Two weeks later, my parents and Yara received their full-body check-up results. The doctor glanced at them and frowned. He said, “The radiation from that ornament Jade placed in your bedroom was far too strong. “It’s already at the final stage. There’s really no point in treatment.” After that day, the Spencer family completely fell apart. They tried to get my body back from Mdm. Langley so that they could bury me in the Spencer family graveyard. But Mdm. Langley refused. She said, “The day you kicked Clara out, she severed all ties with you. She is my daughter now. None of you will take her away from me!”

Caleb's 138-thousand-dollar medical bill could be covered. "No wonder she's gone off the rails and refuses to come home. She must've gotten her hands on some money and doesn't want to save Caleb!" "If she's not in school, could she be at…" Ruby hesitated, her eyes darting nervously. "You know where Jolene is? Spit it out!" Dad snapped, grabbing Ruby by the shoulders. His grip must have been iron-tight because Ruby winced, her face twisting in discomfort. "During Grandma's funeral, I saw Jolene enter a motel with some fat man. Maybe she's there now."

"Ruth’s mother… killed her together with Sofia's Mom" Max's body went cold. His breath hitched as something dark and violent twisted inside him. "What did you say?" Vivian wiped at her tears. "Max, your father… he was having an affair with my mother." The room spun around him. "My mother never wanted it," Vivian continued. "She tried to leave, but your father wouldn’t let her go. And Ruth’s mother… she found out. She saw my mother as a threat. She hated my family. And so, she made sure your mother was eliminated so she could have full control over your father. She orchestrated the accident, Max. She killed her."
