Ruby wiped her tears and angrily carried her bag. She doesn't care if he meant the harsh words he said to her or was just trying to push her away,his words really hurt her. He could continue to wallow in his own sadness for all she cared about. It was his fault for not seeing that she really wanted to help, not because she wanted to make him hers. As she got to the door,she couldn't bring herself to open the door and leave despite the fact that she was fuming and didn't want to see his face. The soft spot she still had for him was scared that he could harm himself if he was left alone in the house like that. She closed her eyes and exhaled sharply to calm herself down before turning around and going back to the living room where Damian was still sitting. He looked very shocked when he saw her come back and he gave her a questioning gaze but she didn't look at him or try to speak a word to him. Instead she dropped her bag again and went into his kitchen to see if there was any thing s

Damian's eyes flew open as he felt an unfamiliar leg brush against his. He pushed it away, but it persisted, returning to its original position. As his mind cleared, he realised he wasn't alone in his house. Panic set in as he turned to face t6 I've the owner of the mysterious leg. His eyes widened in shock when he saw that it was Ruby lying beside him. Confusion and fear intensified as he scanned his surroundings, realising he was in an unfamiliar room, not his own home. He shook Ruby awake, his voice urgent and low. At first, she didn't stir, but he persisted, shaking her again. Finally, she sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "What is it?" she asked, her voice groggy. Damian's eyes locked onto hers, his expression a mix of fear and confusion. "Where are we?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "This isn't my house.” “This isn't your house?” She asked him and looked around “Oh! This is my house”. She said when she recognised the living room. “How did we get here?” Sh

Damian sat on his bed and kept staring into space. It felt like the embarrassing memory of the previous night was hunting him because he kept getting reminded of how embarrassing he was at every moment and to think he slept on the same duvet with Ruby.“I’m going to die if I become a meme” he said because he believed anyone could have videod him last night. He stood up shamefully to pick up his phone to message her and thank her for at least not letting him sleep on the street after claiming to be poor.He began to pace around the bedroom as he searched for her name to message her. His eyes widened in shock when he found her name. He had messaged her in the middle of night when he wasn't sober.“I miss you so much you peice of sh…” then the message ended. He screamed in horror and threw his phone away.“What the hell? Did..did I really send that? When?” He asked as he tried to remember but nothing was coming to his head. The only information imhe got from his phone was the time he s

Damian felt a surge of relief when Ruby asked about the amount he was willing to pay her, Yes! He was able to convince her to agree with him, just that they will have to set up some rules so that things wouldn't go wrong between them. That was what Damian thought but for Ruby,she was hundred percent sure that agreeing to live with him doesn't mean she would lose her guard and continue to blindly fall in love with him. Despite her lingering feelings for Damian, Ruby had mentally checked out of the relationship. She had been deceived and lied to in her past relationships which she didn't forgive and Damian wasn't going to be an exception. For her, Damian had transitioned from a lover to merely her boss, who she is just helping. “We would talk about the details of your service and moving arrangements when I’ve filled my mom with the situation” Ruby nodded and replied “No problem sir. I'll get back to my desk now” “Sure you can" Damian said and watched her head towards the door. Thou

Damian spent the remainder of the night writing out a set of rules he believed were essential for his living arrangement with Ruby. He eagerly anticipated presenting them to her the next day at work. The next morning, Damian woke up to find himself sprawled out on the floor at the entrance of the room he had slept in. He let out a frustrated sigh as he stood up from the floor and tried opening the door, then he realised the door was locked from the outside, a clever move by Ashley to make sure he doesn't leave the room when sleepwalking. With a sluggish pace, Damian dragged himself to the bed and reached for his phone to call Ashley. After a few minutes, the door was unlocked by a maid. "Thanks," Damian muttered as he made his way out of the bedroom. As he headed downstairs, he quickly dialled Ben's number, requesting a prompt pickup. "Come over to my mom's place as soon as possible" Damian said, his voice laced with urgency. "I need to go to my place first and change,” he said a
