THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 11. DANGEROUS DESIRES
~RUBY Ethan didn't come back inside. My stomach started to knot into tiny, little worry clots as I waited. And waited. And waited. My swimsuit stuck to my body like plaster and my body was aching painfully. Where the hell was this man? I was about to throw caution to the wind and go downstairs to see whoever he was talking to that kept him waiting when the door opened and the lights went out immediately. He strode into the room, still in his pair of shorts. "Ethan?" I called out. He said nothing as he walked up to me and grabbed my waist, pulling me against his body. "What took you so long? Who was at the door?" I asked as he began to trail kisses on my neck. I chuckled as I angled my head to give him further access. "You made me wait. I was this close to losing it and storming downstairs to drag you away from whoever it was," I whispered as his hands found my nipples. He tugged on them, and the suddenness of the gesture made me gasp. His hands were rough as
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 12. DROWNING
~RUBY I yawned as I sat up, my phone blowing off. As I picked it up and saw the caller's ID, I hit the red button and placed my phone on airplane mode. I was in no mood to deal with Ella this morning. Besides, I bet she could smell me from over there and would never ever let me rest until she twisted last night out of me. Speaking of last night...I turned around and noted that Ethan was not inside with me. I sighed dejectedly. “I should have known that he would run off again,” I muttered in a down tone. I wished he would stay and wake up with me in the morning. Then I suddenly shook the moodiness away. He probably went downstairs to attend to something. I hummed as I stood up and immediately stopped, my thighs throbbing from been taken apart mercilessly last night. My entire body was aching badly, and it took me a while before I could walk into the bathroom. As I soaked into the water Ethan had drawn for me, I sighed with relief. At least I wouldn't ache as much no
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 13. THE PRICE FOR FORGIVENESS
~RUBY I was shaking profusely. My hands, my legs, my whole body was shaking uncontrollably as I watched Ethan dive into the water to save his brother. I was in a daze. Everything seemed blurry to me and the world slowed down. I watched with unseeing eyes as Ethan carried his brother out of the water, the same thought ringing in my head. I almost killed someone. I almost caused the death of Ethan's brother. My in law. A perfectly healthy person. Was I so far gone in my head, my unreasonable anger, that I was stupid enough to do something as dangerous as that? He could have drowned. He could have swallowed the water and died. And it would have been my fault, I would have been arrested and be prepared to be sent to jail, if Ethan had not been around. I was a fool. Ethan was pumping his brother's chest, trying to get him to spit out the pool water he had swallowed. Ash was breathing only narrowly, and he was unconscious. His skin had become red, as rashes app
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 14. CRAZY WOMAN
~ASH I felt uncomfortable in my skin as I opened my eyes. The light filtering from the windows hit my eyes directly and I groaned, trying to raise my arm to shield myself from the light. But it did no good, as I was busy noting the red spots and rashes that spread across my arms. Right. Chlorine. A psycho had pushed me into the pool. I closed my eyes and tried getting them to adjust to the light before opening them again when I saw someone standing before me. With a knife! My eyes flew open immediately, ignoring the fierce pang of pain that went through me as I scrambled up on the bed and started to crawl away from her. She pushed me into a pool and was now trying to stab me. "Help! Help me! Someone get me away from this crazy woman!" I yelled, ignoring the hoarseness of my voice as I screamed over and over, trying to get out of the room. I needed to get away from this woman. I needed to get away from her! The door blasted open and Ethan rushed in. He saw
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 15. THE DEVIL AT WORK
~ASH My jaw dropped open as I processed her words. What did I just hear? She must have noticed my bewildered expression because she sighed, running her hands through her hair. She must have been doing that for a while now since her hair was in tangles, betraying her nervousness. "You don't need to look that surprised, Ash," she grunted, "it's just an apology. Nothing big," she said. "Sorry. I don't think I got that. Are you talking to me? Or is someone else in this room that I'm now aware of? I mean, you're the Fireball. All small, and fiesty, and full of fire." She didn't answer me, just glared at me from the foot of the bed. It was obvious how uncomfortable she was, and I felt her thrill as I watched her struggle. "Oh. How the almighty has fallen. Look at you now, all subdued and less angry. I don't think I've ever seen you without that scary anger of yours," I grinned. "I'm serious, actually. I'm trying to swallow my rage and settle this amicably. If not for
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 16. BOILING RUBY
~RUBY Ethan was staring at me incredulously. "What...what were you doing?" He asked. I knew he heard me. The expression on his face betrayed the lie in his question. He heard me loud and clear. And if what I remember was what I really said, then I had just messed up. I mean, who would make a promise to their husband and then go back on their word immediately the husband leaves the room? You're right. That's me. I opened my mouth to speak but no excuse came out. "I believed I just asked you a question," he repeated and I began to panic. I detested lying, I had never been good at it. And I did not even want to lie to him of all people. He’s my husband. The one I was slowly falling in love with. Therefore, this left me with the only option of telling the truth. The thought of admitting that I was just snapping at his brother made me shrink away. He would definitely hate me. "I..." I started to say when Ash cared his throat. "We were just role-playing.
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 17. I’M NOT CONCERNED
~Ash "Ruby? Ruby? Are you okay? Is it something I said?" I called after Ruby as she ran out, a hint of worry in my voice. I was surprised. Did I say anything to make her run? I was pretty sure I didn't. One minute she was standing there and the next, she was not. There was no snarky remarks, no glares or the usual flares of anger and rage as she left. She didn't even turn around to look at me. I wanted her to look at me. Even when she was mad at me. Especially when she was mad at me. But what made me strangely worried was the gasp. She gasped, as if something...someone had hurt her. I hoped that wasn't me. Even if she had every reason to be mad at me. I was playing both her and her husband like fools. Yet I did not want to be the reason for that pained gasped. But since when did I care about Ruby’s feelings? I mean, she was important to me, as she served as the main tool that would lead to her husband's downfall. Ethan deserved to be taught a lesson, and I was going
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 18. UGLY MEMORIES
~RUBY "Ruby?" Someone called my name. I blocked my hands with my ears, blocking the sound of the person calling out for me. I could not afford to see anyone right now. But the person came anyway, blocking out the light that accompanied them from the closet door. I turned my face to the direction of the person and I was mildly surprised to see Ash. But I didn't care. I just wanted him to go away. "Don't! Stay away from me. Go away," I tried to speak but I choked on my tears. His expression was that of pity and something else. Something that was hard for me to decipher with my current state of mind. I still could not find it in me to care. He crouched down and whispered softly. "Hey. What happened? Who hurt you and why are you hiding out in the closet?" He asked. I shook my head at him and continued to whimper, my heart shattering into a zillion pieces over and over. Ella. I needed to call Ella. But I lost my phone and I had no idea where it was. Ash s
