Novel & Cerita Where Are Max And Ruby's Parents

“I don’t answer to you.” Maxim and my father stared at each other for some minutes before my dad signaled to his men to back down. On seeing that, the Russian men also stood down. My father cast a dirty look at me before he walked past me. His family followed, with Aubrey shoulder-checking me on the way. I felt my lip wobble again. Noticing this, Maxim put his arm around me and led me away from the crowd. I didn’t know where we were going and I didn’t bother to ask. I was just happy to be out of that place.

I just didn’t want to look at the guy sitting next to him, calmly eating his sandwich like nothing ever happened. Fucking Max. Why did he have to join us for breakfast like he was part of the damn family? “Yeah, I did,” I nodded briefly. “Mom was really worried after I told her about the whole mess last night,” Zach muttered with a small scoff. “But she felt better knowing Max is staying here while I’m at work. At least you’re not alone in the apartment.” I stared at him in disbelief. How could my parents dislike Jack so much, accusing him of leading me into bad influences, and yet be totally okay with their daughter living with a stranger? Did they really think Max was a good guy?

"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___"

The day after the wedding, I got a call from my grandfather, Gerald Clark. He was the only one in the family I felt was reasonable. "Evan, are you still mad at your parents?" "Grandpa." My voice softened. "You didn't come back for the wedding yesterday. Your parents were embarrassed." He sighed. "Relatives kept asking. They had to say you were busy with a project in Seahaven." "I am busy." "I know." He paused. "I heard from Edith that Ruby broke up with you. Is that true?" "Yeah." "What a shame. She was a good girl."

Then, on day thirty, Ruby took a sudden turn for the worse. I searched every bone marrow registry in the country. Nothing. No match. Ruby was in agony, but she never cried or complained. She just lay there, pale and weak, holding my hand with whatever strength she had left. "Mommy," she muttered, "is Daddy mad at me? Is that why he won't come home? "I'll be so good from now on. I promise I won't make him upset again. "It hurts so much, Mommy… I really miss Daddy."

Max tried to convince his sister. She was mute for a while before responding, “What way leads to my room?” “Over there. But I will take you,” Max responded and led Freya toward her room. Max, Freya, Liam - my Gamma, and my Aunt, Marigold were the only family I had after the death of my parents. Lyrik was only a friend and mostly acted like my secretary. Max and Freya’s father was my father’s Beta before the cartel fight that claimed his life and that of his wife. After their death, my parents raised Max and Freya, and we all stayed in the same mansion.

Casual is what this was, and casual was what it could only ever be. The restaurant was quaint and the food tasted delicious. How had she not known this place existed? The easy-going atmosphere and the glass of wine had her sinking into her chair. Max chatted about his family back in the US. His father was a rancher in Wyoming, his mom was the warm matriarch who kept his large family of siblings together. His pops always grumbled that the place was never quiet but secretly loved having friends and family over. Like Abby, his mom loved to bake. Max enjoyed visiting, he lived an hour away from his family. Then it was her turn. Abby knew it was coming. Wasn’t that how it worked, I tell you mine,

"That would be great. Thank you." "Of course. You're family now." Family. That word again. The driver is an older man named James who doesn't try to make conversation, which I appreciate. He just drives smoothly through the morning traffic and drops me off at the main entrance. When I walk into school, I spot Ruby and Ty immediately. They're by our usual meeting spot, and Ruby is already talking animatedly about something. "There she is!" Ruby waves me over. "Guess what?" "What?" "Cain's parents are out of town this weekend." Her eyes are practically sparkling. "He invited me to stay over. Like, the whole weekend."

I knew why. My best friend’s parents were very wealthy. Ruby's father was the CEO of Fex Textiles, and if there was anything my parents loved more than Tessa, it was building connections. It was why they had been over the moon when my twin started dating Ethan, the Alpha's son. Mother, still smiling, dropped her knitting in her lap to ask Ruby how her parents were. "Very well, Mrs. Westwood," Ruby replied politely. "They send their regards." "Oh, wonderful," my mother exclaimed, rubbing her hands together.

“I don’t need you anymore.” Though Ruby feared me. She was completely in fear. Yet she still approaches me, even though I was still aiming the rifle at her. “R… Ruby… Ruby will behave…” She said, with a weak voice. “Please don’t cast Ruby out…” “I don`t need a stubborn pet that harms her family and one and only friend.” I uttered. “Please don’t cast Ruby out…!” Ruby pleaded. “Papa and mama—” “MOM AND DAD IS NEVER GOING TO COME BACK!!! THEY TOOK EVERY SINGLE THING AND LEFT US BEHIND!!!”
