Ruby wasn't caught off guard when Damian led her to her new room, situated directly across from his own. She had anticipated this arrangement because it would allow her to keep a watchful eye on him. The room was familiar territory, as they had shared intimate moments there on multiple occasions. As memories of what they had both done in the room flooded her mind, Ruby's cheeks flushed with a subtle blush. She hastily walked towards the bed and laid on her back,her chest rising and falling as she tried to catch her breath "Well, I'll be downstairs" Damian said,before exiting the room, leaving Ruby to settle in. As soon as he closed the door behind him, Damian happily pumped his fist in the air, relieved that he had maintained his composure despite his expectation of nervousness. His gaze fell upon the second box when he got downstairs, and he decided to take the initiative of taking it upstairs for her though she had rejected his offer. Before heading up, he detoured into the kitchen

"Perfect timing!" Ruby exclaimed, eyeing the golden-brown mac and cheese. "Thanks for taking it out," she added, her gaze shifting to Damian's stiff posture. Damian forced a smile, gritting his teeth against the throbbing pain in his palm. "No problem," he replied, trying to sound casual despite his discomfort. Ruby's eyes narrowed, her suspicions piqued by Damian's sudden change in behaviour. Earlier, he had been relaxed and chatty, but now he stood frozen, his hands hidden behind his back. "Is something wrong?" she asked, her tone more dutiful than concerned. "No,I'm fine," Damian said quickly, forcing a smile that Ruby could easily see through. She knew him too well, and his attempted nonchalance only raised her suspicions. "I think I'll excuse myself for a bit," Damian added, eager to escape the kitchen and tend to his burning palm. The pain was becoming unbearable, and he couldn't wait to find some relief. As he walked out of the kitchen, Ruby noticed that he brought his hand

It has been a week since Ruby moved into Damian's house,a week since Mathew sent Damian's toothbrush to a Genetic Testing centre to see if it would match with his DNA.And a week since Veronica had gone over to Ashley's house to keep her on her toes. "Yesterday, I took stock of our groceries and realised we're running low," Damian said, looking up from his desk as Ruby entered with some files. “We both agreed not to bring home affairs to work sir” Ruby replied in the typical manner she had been talking to him for the past one week. Damian leaned forward, his expression serious. "We're alone here, Ruby, so let's forget the formalities for now. I was thinking we could leave early today and go grocery shopping together." Ruby hesitated, attempting to deflect the suggestion. "Really, sir, there's no need for you to trouble yourself. Ben and I can handle it." "Ben?" Damian asked, leaning back in his chair. "He doesn't even live with us, so why burden him with it?" He attempted to sound

Ashley's hands trembled as she held her coffee cup, her eyes fixed on the unexpected email from the Company. The mention of an announcement sent a chill down her spine, and her mind racing with worst-case scenarios. Has Mathew somehow obtained Damian's DNA without his consent? Was he planning to expose the truth to the public? Panic set in as she frantically tried calling Damian, but he didn't answer. She quickly dialled Thomas's number, her voice laced with urgency. "Thomas, I need you to come pick me up right away. Something's going on at the Company, and I have a bad feeling about it. We need to be there right now” Thomas's calm tone provided a brief respite from her anxiety. "What's wrong, ma’am? What's happening?" Ashley took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "I don't know, but I just got an email about an announcement, and I think it might have something to do with Damian's DNA. Mathew might be trying to reveal the truth. I need to get to the Company” Thomas's respo

The rest of the day at work felt weird to Ruby and other employees. Damian, with other directors which includes both Mathew and Nathan, had been in the conference room for about 2 hours, discussing Mathew’s uncalled for action. Ruby had always thought Mathew was the kind of person who would be smart with whatever moves he was about to take,but this time,he proved her otherwise. How could he think Damian was a fraud and not even check if his evidence was right before presenting it to the world? After about another thirty minutes,the meeting finally came to an end and Damian went straight to his office. He looked so pale and tired when he got back and it made Ruby so worried for him, though she hated that she felt that way for him. But then,it was understandable. He had just watched the video of himself bleeding without anyone helping him. Anyone who is in his shoes would definitely feel sick after. “Are you okay?” She asked before he could enter his office. “Yes,I am” Damian gl
