Ruby still wore the same outfit she wore to the hospital with Damian which he noticed and instructed her to go home and freshen up. Convincing her to leave was a bit difficult for him because she was defiant. She kept insisting she couldn't leave him alone in the hospital,and it was when Damian called Thomas to come down to the hospital that she finally left.“Has your so-called girlfriend come to visit you at all?” Thomas asked as he helped Damian to wear his jacket because he wanted to go out to catch fresh air.“What if she hasn't?”“Then it shows she doesn't actually care. It's time for you to discard unnecessary people and do what Mrs Stevenson wants. You agreed to do everything as her son before she saved you”“I’m doing everything as her son. Do you know how difficult it is for me to call someone else my mom? But I still always call her that. I'm very sure her son would never agree to an arranged marriage If he is smart and knows what he wants”“Don't talk about the late youn
Melissa walked into Sky Tower View on a Saturday morning, expecting to visit her sister Ruby as planned. With the lock combinations memorised, she let herself in, only to be surprised by a scene she wasn't expecting. Ruby and a man were fast asleep on the couch, cuddled in each other's arms. Melissa's bag slipped from her hand and it fell on the floor. She knew Ruby as a single woman, and she always tells her everytime she met someone new. Melissa composed herself, picked up her bag and took a seat on a nearby couch to wait for the couple to wake. She knew it was creepy to watch them that way,but she did it anyway. She kept tapping her foot on the floor as it took them eternity to wake up. Finally, Damian's eyes fluttered open, locking with Melissa's gaze. He let out a startled yelp and jumped out of the couch, fear etched on his face. It was just him and Ruby in the house last night so how did a stranger enter?Ruby was woken up by Damian's scream,and also let out a terrified cr
Days passed and there was no sign of Veronica in Damian’s life. It felt like she just completely disappeared. That should be good news,but for some reasons,Damian couldn't stop thinking she was up to something. Not after he had suspected her to be responsible for the fire accident. So he made sure to be on his guard in case Veronica decided to cause trouble at any time. As he walked in the Company's lobby after coming back from lunch. He saw Ashley and Mathew together and that made him very surprised. They are enemies. He is the one who killed her son so why on earth would Ashley be talking to that kind of man,and her facial expression was calm so obviously they weren't arguing. He walked towards them, making sure they didn't see him,so he could eavesdrop.“I would like to treat you to lunch” Ashley offered and a smile appeared on her face.Matthew took a few seconds to stare at her and then he scoffed “And why would you want to do that? We both know that one of us might stab the
Damian called his driver to bring the car immediately he left Mathew's office. It was obvious that Nathan was going to Veronica and so he decided to stop him in case he does anything irrational and he also wanted Veronica to know he has found out about her relationship with Nathan. Hopefully,that would make her shameful and stay away from him. Without parking his car at the appropriate place,Nathan rushed into Prime, Veronica’s Company. He ignored everyone who greeted him on his way until he got to Veronica's office where her Secretary stopped him“Do you have an appointment sir?” She asked politely, ignoring the anger that was evident on Nathan's face.“Are you asking me that? Really?”“Sir,this is how things are done here for people who don't work in the Company”“Get the hell out of my face!” He yelled and pushed her away,then he opened Veronica's office door and entered.“Sir,you can't be doing this,” Veronica's Secretary said and ran towards Nathan.“It's fine” Veronica stoppe
Thomas told Ashley about what he and Damian had overheard when he was in Mathew's office and just like he had told Damian, Ashley didn't talk about letting go of Veronica. “Good thing the baby is gone. Our plans are still on track and maybe we can use this to get the upper hand” she had said before calling McLaren's Secretary to book a dinner appointment. Later at night,when Thomas was just getting ready to leave, Damian came into the house. “Why didn't you tell me today is your husband's birthday?” He asked as he approached them. “The information isn't necessary,is it? And how did you know?” “If it isn't necessary,then where I got the information doesn't matter” he said, returning the energy Ashley gave him. “You told her right? That there's more reasons to stop forcing me to marry Veronica” he asked with his gaze on Thomas. “Yes I did…” Thomas said. “Great. Now,I'll introduce you to the woman I have been with since Veronica is out of the picture” he cut off Thomas.
Throughout the night,Ruby cuddled Damian like a baby without asking him questions. He came to her place to find peace and she was going to let him enjoy the peace. She told herself that all her questions could wait till the next day. The next morning, as she prepared for work, Damian remained in bed and kept sleeping, his exhaustion evident in his face. There were a lot of calls from Thomas when Ruby picked up her phone so she guessed it was because of Damian. She called him back immediately “Good morning Thomas” she said when the call connected.“Good morning Miss Morris. How was your night's rest?”“It was great. I missed a lot of calls from you,is something going on?”“Please are you able to get in touch with Mr Stevenson? Is he at work yet?” With the corner of her eyes, Ruby casted a look at Damian who was sleeping peacefully in her bed,but she couldn't tell Thomas that.“We haven't spoken since I left the office yesterday and I'm just getting ready for work,” she lied.“Oh,
Damian was lying on his back with one of his hands wrapped around Ruby and her head placed on her chest. Ruby blushed when she realised she was naked and so was Damian. Last night after they had made love to each other, she wanted to put on her pyjamas,but Damian stopped her and told her to just sleep. She tried to get out of bed and go shower, but Damian pulled her back into his arms and his eyes slightly opened.“Where do you think you are going?” Ruby felt her face turn red as he made eye contact with her.“I just want shower and get ready for work” “Shower?” Damian asked and inhaled the smell of her skin “No,you are good” he said and kissed her forehead. “And you can call Thomas that you won't be in the office”“Why should I do that?”“Because I don't want you out of my sight at all for today” Ruby stared into his eyes and saw the loneliness in his eyes and that made it impossible for her to turn him down.“Should I tell him I won't be at work because I want to try looking fo
Ruby's phone rang, disrupting their moment of comfort. The screen flashed Thomas' name,so she picked it up and answered.“Hello?” She answered and Damian looked at her wondering who she was speaking with.“Hello Miss Ruby,have you found Mr Stevenson?” Thomas' voice came through the phone. Ruby noticed Damian's questioning gaze so she removed the phone from her ear and put it on a loudspeaker.“What did you say?” She purposely asked again so that Damian would know what he was asking her about.“I asked if you have found Mr Stevenson”“Not yet actually…is there something going on over there?” She asked and looked at Damian who gave her a look indicating he was okay with her reply.“Well,we need to find him as soon as possible because he is in danger”“Danger? Mr Stevenson is in danger?”“I'm in danger?” Damian mouthed and looked at himself to be sure he was fine.“Mathew is now trying to kill him again. It's going to happen anytime soon but we couldn't get the date he plans to execut
