CHAPTER 40RUBY’S POVDennis was ecstatic when he heard what I had to tell him and he urged me to get more information so he could get to work and snatch the contract from Dax as fast as possible. The call finally came to an end and I tried to sleep but I couldn’t. Thoughts of what happened between me and Dax the previous day and my struggle to make up a plan on how to get more information from him about the contract filled my head and it made it difficult for me to go back to sleep.With a groan, I sat up and I knew I had to distract myself for a while to get rid of thoughts of Dax for that moment.Grudgingly, I got down from bed and made my way to the bathroom where I had a quick bath and dressed up in a yellow sundress after I got out of the bathroom. Then I held my hair up in a tight bun since I didn’t want it down my shoulders and I wore a pair of sandals intending to look very casual before I grabbed a brown purse, placed my necessities in it, and made my way to the living roo
CHAPTER 41RUBY’S POVThe novel was superb and I still couldn't believe I finished it all in hours.It was already 4 pm and Arnold was walking me home while we talked about the book.I was worried he would leave his bookstore open with no one to keep watch but after he assured me that he had staff to do the perfect job for him, I let him accompany me home because I was too excited about the book I read and wanted to talk about it with someone.“I still can't believe it ended that way. I'm so happy they were happy though because that's all that matters to me” I chirped excitedly as we walked and he smiled while listening with rapt attention.“I bet you were rooting for the villain at first right?” he asked and I facepalmed which made him laugh.“In my defense, the writer made him irresistibly hot. I couldn't help but want him for her but that was until he became an asshole toward her” I explained and he nodded silently which made me wonder what he could be thinking about.“What? What's
CHAPTER 42DAX’S POVI was livid, my vision was blinded with pure red rage and I almost broke the phone I held into pieces as I stared at the picture that glared back at me. There was a picture of Ruby kissing a man on the cheek and another of him kissing the back of her hand while she smiled at him so lustfully. What the fuck was she thinking?I had forgotten a few files I was supposed to bring along with me to New York so I had Simon return to Denmark to find them and send them to me via email but then he stumbled upon Ruby and this unknown man and quickly took pictures to show me.I would have assumed they were probably just friends but seeing how they both looked at each other, it was obvious that they were more than just friends. I couldn't help but wonder if Ruby was seeing him already when she let me fuck her hard with my fingers just a few nights ago.The plan was to stay in New York for a few more days but after seeing those pictures, there was going to have to be a huge chang
CHAPTER 43RUBY’S POV“Holy shit, Ruby, guess what I just found out” Clarissa yelled as she barged into my room with her phone in her hand and I wondered why she was looking so shocked.“What is it this time?” I asked her as I placed my pillow on my bed so I could go to sleep and she rushed toward me. Then she sat me down and pushed her phone toward me.Giving her a look, I shifted my gaze to the phone and a video was playing. Immediately I caught sight of Dax punching Dennis in the face, my eyes widened in shock, my heart plummeted into my stomach in fear and I began to have all sorts of thoughts as I watched the video over and over again.What the hell happened?“What happened? When did this happen?” I asked her while tapping on the screen to play the video again with shaky fingers and she sat beside me.“A friend of mine who was at the function sent the video to me because he knows I'm a friend of yours and thought we should know about the fight” she answered and I shook my head in
CHAPTER 44DAX’S POV“How the hell did Dennis know about Ruby's job? It was supposed to be confidential” I asked Simon immediately as I got out of the car at the airport.My luggage had been packed and moved from the house to the airport by the maids. They were moving them all into the plane so we were set to leave at once.“I'm sure he has his contacts in Denmark too. He probably asked them to look into the reason why you were opening a branch in Denmark and then found out about Ruby and her job” he replied and it made a lot of sense.I wasn't surprised to know that Dennis went to such lengths just to dig up information about me. The loser was so desperate for his father’s attention that he was so willing to do the dirty job and have his name stained for a little recognition from a man that didn't give two fucks about him.With a shake of my head, I decided to forget about him and his sorry ass and focus on Ruby instead. I still had to get that man out of the picture immediately becau
CHAPTER 45RUBY’S POV“Have fun on your date!” Clarissa snickered as I wore my earrings and I shot her a glare through the mirror while she lay on my bed.Sally left for school almost two hours ago so it was just the two of us in the house and I was preparing for my date with Arnold after we agreed on a time and place to meet.“What? You said Arnold is so sweet” she tried to mimic me playfully and I flung a lipstick at her to shut her up but missed and she laughed at me.“Shut up Clarissa. It's just a date, nothing else and I didn't say that” I told her and she made a face at me before she lay back in the bed.“Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say” she replied, rolling her eyes and I ignored her as I took a brush to brush through my hair a little.Soon I was done and I took one last look at myself in the mirror. I wore a brown-colored long-sleeved high-waisted dress with a pair of black loafers and took a black handbag to pair the colors.Then I twirled for Clarissa who was watching me and s
CHAPTER 46DAX’S POVI had never seen Ruby get that mad at me before. When we were dating eight years ago and even when I followed her all the way to Denmark and told her that I wanted her back, she never got that angry.That was what made me know that I had fucked up again and would have to make it up to her so she wouldn't stay mad at me for a long time. I couldn't afford to let her ask for space again.As I watched her walk away with rapid angry steps, there were two things I had in mind. First was to get Arnold Fusser out of the picture then apologize to her for having her watched but for the moment, I felt uneasy knowing that just as Simon predicted, she was going out on a date with Arnold.Quickly, I turned and headed for my house and Simon was at the bar when I walked in. He turned around to face me and nodded toward the door when he saw I wasn't looking so pleased.“Got into another fight with her right?” He asked like he was there to witness it all and I ignored him because h
CHAPTER 47DAX’S POVAn hour passed and soon, I received a message from Simon to let me know that the job had been done. He sent the location to me and I quickly got changed into something else before I made my way to where they were.It was a house 40 minutes away by car from our street so it was quite a safe distance and it was vacant. It was very impressive for Simon to find such a place in such a short time.“How did you find this place so fast? Been to Denmark before?” I asked as I walked in after he opened the door for me and our footsteps echoed loudly.“Nah, I have my contacts too, and after explaining everything, he was kind enough to give me this place for a few hours. It's a guest house so he said we shouldn't make any mess” he answered and I nodded in response while I looked around the dimly lit living room. It was best if we kept the lights off.“So where is he?” I asked about Arnold after surveying the place and he pointed above us.“Upstairs and unconscious until we wak
