CHAPTER 82RUBY’S POVI held eye contact with Dax for a while, having no idea what to say in response to his question and he reached an eyebrow at me before mapping his fingers in my face and I blinked.“Is the question too sensitive for you? You could give me an answer when the whole situation is under control. For now, just rest, okay?” he said, u sure if what he asked triggered me and I shook my head.To lessen the chance of any more suspicion, I had to give him an answer immediately. Anything believable was the best so I thought hard and finally, something popped into my brain.I smiled at him before tossing my phone aside so I wouldn't seem too worried about Sally when he believed Ckarissa was her mother. Then I leaned back in the cozy chair of the car’s backseat before dragging in a long breath and letting it out to calm myself down.“It's not like that. I may not be Sally’s mother and this might sound crazy but you can call it motherly love. I'm not a mother but Sally is like a

CHAPTER 84RUBY’S POVLater that night, after I had rushed home to take a shower and wear fresh clothes, I returned to the hospital, ignoring the fact that my luggage had arrived, and chose to stay with Sally instead until she would be awake.She woke up when it was only a few minutes to midnight and I was overjoyed to see her awake again. Dax wasn't with us this time, he had returned to his house along with Simon so it was just me and Clarissa tending to Sally after the doctor had checked her vitals and redressed her wound.“I lost my shit when I received your call, Clarissa. I was so scared for Sally and for a moment, I had this horrifying scene play out in my head where I lost her just because I was with Dax” I told Clarissa after we had read many stories to Sally just to put her back to bed.Clarissa slapped me on the arm when I finished talking and I winced before glaring at her.“What was that for? I was having an emotional moment of relief” I snapped at her and she gave me a po

CHAPTER 86RUBY’S POVThe phone rang three good times before Dennis picked up on the fourth ring and I almost cursed him out when he said hello to me.“Were you thinking about talking to me or not since you've gotten what you've wanted?” I snapped at him and I heard him chuckle over the phone.“There's nothing funny about what I just said so you'd better quit laughing right now” I snapped again as he stopped laughing immediately before the seriousness returned to the conversation and I cleared my throat before I'd start speaking.“Since I did as you wanted and I got you what you've desperately always dreamt about, it's time for you to help me too” I went straight to the point without beating about any bush because there was no time for that.He was either helping me or he wasn't because Dax was working fast so I also had to protect myself from getting caught by him. So there was absolutely no time to start going around in circles before getting to the point which was the reason I calle

CHAPTER 88DAX’S POV“So what job do you have for me? Does it have to do with the partnership you lost?” Simon asked me as I handed him a glass of water since it was working hours and I was against drinking while working.“Yes it has to do with the partnership I lost and I also think you should get your head back into working as my bodyguard instead of being Clarissa’s lover boyfriend all the time,” I told him and I grinned at him when he glared at me.“Don't call me that,” he snarled and I chuckled before taking my seat back on my chair.“Don't deny what you are, Simon. If you like her, then say it. But you should also not forget that you're working for me. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I love Ruby and I always say it” I said to him and he rolled his eyes before he drank the whole glass of water I gave him then he faced me.“Just cut the shit talk and tell me what job you have for me, Dax and I'm going to get serious about work so quit lecturing me” he snapped at me and I held back

CHAPTER 90RUBY’S POV“You may think I have no idea what you've been up to but I keep up with the news, Ruby and I know what you've been doing,” Avery said to me as I stood by the door and watched her and she smirked knowingly.“I don't know what you're talking about,” I told her because I was clueless. I had no idea what she meant by keeping up with the news and knowing what I'd been up to.“Don't act so clueless, Ruby. I know you're dating Mr. Kellen. I saw your pictures on the front page of a magazine which was talking about your reunion and how good you both look together. I'm certain he doesn't know you're Magenta” she replied and I swallowed.How on earth did she find out when it was a New York magazine? Had she been monitoring me or was she interested in Dax and thought she could take him for herself?“You won't mention any of this to Mr. Kellen, Avery. He has no idea I'm Magenta and I intend to keep it that way for as long as I do this job” I told her and she held her hands up
