Chapter 53
Ruby stirred in her sleep as her eyes fluttered open.
She felt a sharp pain in her head as she groaned softly.
She was lying on something soft and comfortable.
She vividly remembered everything that had happened. Kevin drugged her and tried to take advantage of her and then Jaxon saved her.
Where was she? She frowned looking around the unfamiliar surroundings.
“Glad you’re finally awake,” She heard Jaxon say as she hurriedly sat up from the not-to-large bed she was lying on.
Jaxon was sitting on a sofa not too far from the bed, his legs crossed as he held a glass of whiskey.
“Where am I?” She asked in concern. This was clearly not his house.
“Where do you think you are?” He questioned with a hint of displeasure in his voice.
“You’re in a fucking plane Ruby, we’re flying to Russia, together” He deadpanned on the word together.
There was no way he was going to leave her in New York. Not when she almost got herself raped by the fucker Kevin.
“Russia..?” Ruby had an astonished look on her face as she finally took into her surroundings.
She really was on a plane.
“But why?” She couldn’t help but ask.
“Do you really think I’m going to leave you yet again so you can go around spreading your legs for some bastard?” He accused in a cold and angry voice as Ruby froze.
Spreading her legs?
“Jaxon, I did not go around spreading my legs.” She defended herself as she got off the bed; was that what he was thinking of her?
“I’m sorry, okay?” She continued. She needed to apologize to him for defiling his orders.
“I’m really sorry for leaving the house. I never knew Jaxon had ill intentions, and neither did I leave the house for any bad reasons. It was just a friendly visit,” She explained as she stood not too far from him.
Looking at her perfectly, sculptured face. Ruby could tell that he was angry at nobody but her.
He must have cut his trip short to go get her.
His blonde hair was messy and his eyes looked colder than ever.
“That’s what they all say?” Jaxon hissed, standing up on his feet angrily as Ruby stuttered.
“Who?”
“Cheaters, of course!” He yelled at her, taking Ruby aback.
Cheaters? Did he think of her as a cheater?
“Jaxon I’m sorry. But I swear..” She was abruptly cut off by Jaxon, who suddenly turned as he wrapped his hand around her neck pinning her to the wall.
“Jaxon” Ruby began with a strained voice.
“Shut up!!” He snapped, his grip around her neck tightening.
His hold around her neck was tight, but not too tight to suffocate her.
“So you’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity right?”
“The moment I left, you didn’t even waste any minute before running off to another man,” He accused as her eyes widened, glistening with tears.
He saw what happened. Kevin was trying to force himself on her; how could he accuse her of cheating?
“How many are they?” He asked as Ruby’s brows furrowed in confusion.
“Huh?” she muttered softly.
“How many bastards have touched you?” He yelled at her angrily.
“I told you I was still a virgin and I’m sorry about Kevin..” She cried helplessly, her toes curling on the ground.
“But you’ve been with other men, right? How many are they?”
“I swear to God, asides from you. It’s only my ex that has touched me and he only went down on me once” She explained in tears.
She never liked talking about her ex boyfriend or what that he did to her.
She was so committed, but yet, he cheated.
“Did you like it?” Jaxon asked with a dark look on his face, his hand never leaving her neck.
“Jaxon please stop..” She begged. He just had to stop.
“Don’t fucking tell me to stop. The thought of another man touching you drives me fucking crazy” He confessed, grinding his teeth as he ran his other hands through his hair.
“I’m not a cheat and Kevin was just a friend. He drugged me and tried to rape me. I was so scared” She said with a pained filled voice.
That memory would forever be on her head, no matter how hard she would try to forget it and she hated that fact.
“You should be. Next time you’ll learn to follow my orders and stick with me only”
“I’m still scared. You’re hurting me” She slowly closed her eyes, allowing more tears down.
Time seemed to have stopped for the both of them as Jaxon slowly removed his hand from her neck.
He did not want the hurt her, but he was so angry with the thought that she was cheating on him, because there was no logical reason why she would defile his orders to go see Kevin.
Ruby no longer felt pressure on her neck and when she slowly opened her eyes, Jaxon was still there, just this time He was backing her.
“I’m really sorry. I’ll never defile your words again. I’m sorry” More tears flowed down her eyes and Ruby couldn’t even remember the last time she cried this much.
When Jaxon turned to face her yet again, there was no trace of that monstrous look of earlier on his face.
He seemed to have calmed down.
Without saying a word, he reached out for her as he held her wrist.
Ruby felt a tinge of warmth and safety as he held her, pulling her close to himself.
He pulled her to his strong and chiseled chest, patting her back slowly. Ruby, crying uncontrollably in his old.
“I’m sorry” She kept on apologizing.
“Don’t be. All you have to do is stay with me and I’ll protect you” There was a form of endearment in his soft words and Ruby felt more safe than ever.
“I don’t think I’ll be able to forget what happened. I messed up”
“I’ll make you forget.” he swore, his voice low and soothing as he kept on stroking her back.
Kevin was going to pray that he was never born after Jaxon was done with him.
