THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 9. WHEN SHAME COMES
~RUBY My heart was pounding wildly in my chest. I somehow felt that what happened with Ethan was my fault. All I wanted was a compliment. I didn't expect him to lose it when he saw me. So yeah, the guilt was eating me real bad. I made sure he knew none of this though, as I continued to pat him on the back. His shoulders heaved softly and I knew he was crying. God. I can't even imagine how hard things must be for him. My poor boy. I started to hum a sound I don't remember recall listening to, but it stuck by me all the same. His breathing seemed to become easier as I hummed and I held him close, trying to convey that I'd always hold him whenever he was down. After a while, Ethan sniffed and pulled away from my embrace. "Hey. You okay?" I asked softly but he looked away, his cheeks becoming slightly red. He didn't look at me. I moved closer to him, not minding my dress and his nakedness. "Ethan? Talk to me. Are you okay?" I asked again and Ethan jerked his he
THE TWIN BILLIONAIRES’ BRIDE 10. THE ROOM SERVICE
~ETHAN Ruby was silent for the rest of our drive to the airport. I have no idea how to deal with what her friend just said but it was obviously not a good thing, as it made my baby sad. I didn't say anything though. I just placed my hand on her knee to remind her of my presence. We got to the airport and packed, and I alighted to get our luggages. We were halfway through the reception when someone screamed Ruby's name. "Ruby," the shrill voice cut through the crowd and Ruby whirled around, immediately spotting her friend. They rushed to hug each other, tears pooling in Ruby's eyes. "Oh my god. You're leaving. You're really leaving," she sobbed on her friend's shoulder. Ella was no better as tears dropped down her face too. "I'm sorry. You know how sudden these things are." "Jesus. Ella. The last time you were gone, I didn't see you for six months. Who knows how long you're staying away for now?" "I don't know too, okay? But from the looks of it, I'll be gone
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.
