CHAPTER 122RUBY'S POV The door opened and Sally walked out onto the porch at that moment. I was still sobbing and couldn't bring myself to stop even though she was watching me and she was a curious child. I knew she would want to know why her mum was crying but I couldn't stop the tears. I was too broken and hurt to make myself care about what she would feel or think on seeing me that way.Clarissa quickly stood before me as she faced Sally who looked curious, making sure I was out of her view. Then she let out an awkward laughter before walking toward Sally who was still watching in silence.“What are you doing out here, darling? Aren't you supposed to be eating your dinner?” She asked Sally but Sally was still watching me, not paying a single heed to Clarissa who was trying to distract her and it hit me just how much she acted like Dax sometimes.They were so hard to distract once they had their attention fixed on something that had gained their interest and thinking about that b

CHAPTER 124RUBY'S POV Morning came faster than I expected and thanks to my alarm, I woke up right in time to see it was a monday morning and I had to head to the gallery.I groaned as I sat up in bed and stared out the window while wondering what the day held for me. Then I turned to my dresser only to behold my new look in the mirror and I remembered how I had shortened the length of my hair the previous night. Sighing with a roll of my eyes, I stood up and headed for the bathroom where I had a quick bath and dressed up in a black t-shirt and jean trousers. If I had my way, I didn’t want to leave my room until I would have a hold over my sanity again but I didn't have much of a choice when it came to the gallery.I had just resumed, Dax was the one who paid for me to get in also, so it would be rude and ungrateful of me to suddenly stop showing up so I made up my mind to survive through the days to come as I grabbed my bag and left my room only to see Sally seated in the dining ro

CHAPTER 126RUBY’S POV“How am I supposed to do this again?'' Let's run through it one more time,” I asked Clarissa while she drove me off to Dax’s company while Patricia and the rest trailed behind in Cecelia’s car. “According to Simon, he should be on his way back from a meeting with another company by now. So all you have to do is show up by the entrance while he's walking in and voila, You’d do your magic. Speak from the heart and hope he falls for you again” she explained and I let out a scared groan. She had gotten back with Simon over the space of three days because apparently, they both couldn’t stay away from each other and missed each other so much. They were obviously smitten and joined at the hip and it was so rare to see Simon acting so in love. I thought he would be the difficult one between him and Dax but I guessed I was wrong.Now, I was scared. What if Dax called my effort bullshit and walked out on me? That would ruin me and I didn't think I would be able to ever

CHAPTER 128DAX’S POVI couldn’t sleep. Not after the conversation I just had with Ruby so all I could do was watch her while she slept thanks to the sedating medication she was given after shebwas rushed to the hospital for her fever and my guilt ate at my insides without mercy.There was a lot about Ruby that I didn’t know. I had no idea that she went through all of that after I broke up with her. I didn’t even know that Micahel had thrown her out because I was trying to avoid her and hearing her say all of it to me while half asleep made me realize how much of a selfish jerk I was.If I were in Ruby’s shoes, I’d do the same and not tell me I was Sally’s father because she was right. I left once so what would stop me from leaving again? she was just protecting her daughter and that was what I failed to understand after knowing the truth.So I spent days away from her, overworking myself to get over the fact that I missed her and my daughter even though Simon told me that she was a m

CHAPTER 130RUBY'S POV The surprise location was Santorini and I found out just when we landed in the country and got out of the plane. To say I was elated would be an understatement. I was beyond excited, over the moon and happy that he chose that place for our vacation because it was so beautiful and dreamy and I had always dreamt of going there. So I hugged and kissed Dax on the cheek to thank him and show how much I loved his gesture and he was beaming from ear to ear after I did that in front of the hostesses that worked on the plane. I guessed he was over the moon to have me show that he was mine in public for the first time. “Good day sir and madam. We’ll be heading to the resort now” a driver said after bowing to us and I looked at Dax since I had no idea what was going on.“He’s going to be our designated driver while we’re here” hhe explained when he saw I looked clueless and I nodded before smiling back at the driver while our luggages, a box each of our own, were moved
