CHAPTER 12RUBY'S POVI almost began to panic when Sally had called me mum in front of Dax but I was happy with the way Clarissa handled the situation. The only thing to do now was to get Sally to start calling her mum instead of Aunt Clarissa and I was sure that would be a piece of cake.Once everyone was gone, I knew this was it. The moment that I would have to take Dax back if he asked again because I couldn’t wait to get on with the revenge and have him out of my life for good once I was done with him.I felt nervous and I couldn’t even bring myself to look at him because I could remember what I said to him before I passed out.Slowly, I looked beneath my blanket and I saw I was still in my pink pajamas. For an unexplainable reason, I suddenly felt embarrassed and conscious about how I looked so I quickly tried to fix my hair before sitting up and he was quick to assist me but I still didn’t look at him. Not when he had his hands on my skin and it was making me have a huge meltdow

CHAPTER 14RUBY’S POVMorning came and the doctor was in the middle of checking my vitals when Dax walked in and Simon was also on his trail. Clarissa scoffed audibly from beside me and when I looked at her, she was glaring at Simon. I looked at Simon and he was staring at her too but his eyes were so cold, they could laser through ice. I had no idea what it was they argued about the previous day but after seeing their countenance toward each other, I didn’t think I wanted to be involved. They were both two grown adults so I was sure they could resolve it amicably.“That’s all, Miss Sinclair. You can head to the nurse on duty now to get discharged and go home. Also, be careful not to take an overdose next time” She ended with a warning and I gave her a sheepish smile while nodding my head. There was no way I would be making that mistake again.The doctor walked out and I turned to look at Dax who had been standing in a corner of the room. He came toward me with a smile directed at me

CHAPTER 16RUBY’S POVDax didn’t say a single word to me after taking me out of Avery’s office. All he did was pull me along with him and I was too tongue-tied to utter a single word as I followed him with so many questions swirling in my head. Why did he pay for me exclusively for the rest of the month? Why did he bother to defend me? Most people wouldn’t care even if they witnessed the whole thing but he was different. He cared.He suddenly opened the door to one of the private rooms and I was about to tell him it was occupied but I was too late. He had pulled me in along with him and we witnessed a client and one of the dancers kissing. He literally had his tongue down her throat while she gave him a handjob and I was too stunned to move or look away.It was both shocking and arousing at the same time and it made my skin tingle with something unrecognizable. It made me wonder how it would feel to have Dax kiss me just like that.Quickly, Dax withdrew from the room and shut the doo

CHAPTER 18RUBY’S POVMonday came around again and Sally was ready for school.The bus had just arrived so I walked her out and I stood by the porch to watch her get into the bus. Then she waved at me through the window and I did the same while she mouthed a goodbye to me.Once the bus was gone, I saw Dax walking toward me from the other side of the street and I waited to hear what he had to say to me even though I was still mad at him for leaving me like that at the club.“Off to school uh?” he asked, referring to Sally when he finally joined me on the porch and I nodded, my hands securely folded across my chest as a way to try and keep my inner panic at a minimum because I was still freaking out about our kiss. I bet he wouldn't feel the same way because Magenta was just a random masked dancer in a club that he was probably momentarily obsessed with and was soon going to get bored of. Just like he would with me if I let him in again.“Yeah. Now what is it that you have to say? It's

CHAPTER 20DAX’S POVWe walked into my office and Simon shut the door before he turned to me and waited for me to answer his question. I knew I was his employer and he was my bodyguard but he was practically family to me already. There wasn’t any kind of discussion we didn’t have because we got along that much and I didn’t care much about bossing him around. He always knew what to do.“I’m going on a date with Ruby tonight,” I told him and I watched his eyes widen. Then he walked closer to the table while I was busy flipping through the pages of a document for a quick sign that was required for an approval.“Are you serious? Ruby agreed to go on a date with you?” he asked me and I frowned at him.“Why are you so surprised? Is it weird she agreed? Weren’t we both hoping this plan of moving to Denmark would work?” I asked so many questions all at the same time while I wondered why he was so surprised that I got Ruby to go on a date with me and he held his hands up in defense.“I didn’t
