Chapter 54
The pilot announced that they had successfully landed and Jaxon made his way to the private room in the plane where Ruby was sleeping, he gently picked her up and she immediately curled up in his arms and at that moment he thought she looked like an adorable child.
He silently made his way out of the plane to the awaiting car and without saying a word the driver started up the car.
Jaxon felt Ruby’s body tremble followed by soft mumbles, he looked down and felt an intense surge of anger.
He felt deep hatred for Kevin bubbling within him as tears streamed down Ruby’s face.
Just how much pain and trauma did he inflict on her?
He felt like ripping out the disgusting arms Kevin used to touch her and frying his brain for even thinking of doing that to his wife.
How dare he!
His hands curled into fists and he felt like bashing Kelvin’s face but he slowly took deep breathes to calm down.
He softly wiped her tears and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
“I will get back at Kevin for doing this to you, I will make him regret the day he was born” He growled.
He held her tighter as her crying subsided to small sniffles.
The car came to a stop in front of a modern mansion and a guard opened the door for them.
He came down with ruby in his arms and hurriedly went to the master bedroom.
He placed her in the bed and covered her with the duvet and he felt a need to stay close to her at that moment.
He didn’t know if it was because of how vulnerable and pained she was when he arrived at the restaurant or because he wanted to be there in case she cried again but for the first time ever he felt lost.
“Why did her tears affect me so much” he mumbled
“Why do I feel the need to protect her and take care of her” he looked down at her tear stained face and felt an unknown feeling build up.
He didn’t know what he felt and why Ruby was able to make him feel in the first place.
She was very beautiful but she looked ordinary and there was nothing special about her so why was she able to make him feel protective.
Was he attracted to her?
No, there was no way on earth he would be attracted to someone like her, she was the opposite of what he wanted his partner to look and act like not that he wanted a partner. So he couldn’t possibly like her or care for her.
He has only ever cared about one thing and that was his family so why was he bothered about an insignificant girl that is no more than a worker to him?
He felt his brows furrow in annoyance as his mind kept swirling with stupid thoughts.
She is a nobody.
She is just a hired wife, nothing more nothing less.
The only reason why I helped her and feel so vengeful towards Kevin is because he has always been an enemy and he thought of using such an underhand method to get to me.
I don’t care about her so called well being.
He felt his eyes twitch in annoyance as Ruby unconsciously stretched her hand in search of something and he felt his frustration rise as he knew exactly what she was searching for.
He took a pillow and placed it in her arms. A small smile made its way to her face and she immediately relaxed.
He looked at her one more time and walked out of the room.
A guard was at the door and he bowed his head immediately he closed the door.
“What’s your name?” Jaxon coldly asked the guard.
“Lucas sir”
“Well Lucas, if she steps out of this house you are dead. Get her whatever she wants when she wakes up and watch her like a hawk.” the guard flinched at the harsh tone jaxon used and quickly nodded in order not to annoy him more.
He went out the door and three cars were already waiting for him with his guards in tow.
He got into the black Rolls Royce and before long the car came to a stop in front of a beautiful apartment complex.
He made his way to the reception area with four guards and a beautiful middle aged lady with blue eyes and curly blonde hair gave them a small smile.
“Good afternoon sir and how may I help you?” She asked curtly
“I’m here to see Mikhail, he resides in the penthouse” she nodded and picked up her work phone, after talking to Mikhail and asking for their information she gave them a key card.
They got into the lift and Jaxon used the key card to get to the penthouse at the very top of the apartment building.
The lift made a ding sound and the door opened, With two guards in front and two behind him Jaxon made his way to the apartment door.
The guard used the key card to open the door and they all walked in.
“Welcome to Russia Jaxon” Mikhails thick voice greeted him.
Jaxon gave him a blank stare as he made his way to the living room and sat on the love seat directly facing Mikhail.
“Cut the bullshit and get right into it, what was so important that you had to meet face to face?” Jaxon asked with annoyance clear in his voice.
“Tsk tsk, always so hot-tempered and business minded. What can I offer you Jaxon?” Mikhail asked with a smirk on his face.
Jaxon pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance and glared at Mikhail.
“Sorry big guy” Mikhail brought up his hands in a mock surrender gesture and cleared his throat.
” It’s a sensitive matter and it’s meant for your ears alone,” Mikhail glanced at the guards as he said this.
Jaxon understood what he made and dismissively waved his hand in the guards direction. They all bowed and walked out of the apartment.
After Mikhail heard the door click he sat upright and looked directly into Jaxons eyes.
“It’s regarding your wife… she is not who she appears to be” Jaxon felt like bashing his face in.
” You seriously dragged me all the way from New York to talk about my wife? Do you think I’m so stupid that I wouldn’t carry out a background check on the woman I’m married to?” Jaxon angrily asked
“Jaxon, calm down and listen to me. You did a background check on her but did you bother to search deeply on her parents? Your men only did a surface clean up or maybe it was a conspiracy” Jaxon quietly stared at him as he spoke.
“What about her parents? As far as I know she is from an ordinary home”
“Your wife might be ordinary but not her parents and if the family finds out about this they will come after her and they won’t rest until she is no more” Mikhail brought out a cigarette and lit it.
“Stop beating about the bush and tell me what you know” Jaxon said impatiently, he hated not knowing.
“Ah ah ah” Mikhail blew out the smoke upwards and wagged his fingers.
“This is not how it works Jaxon, you have to pay for your ignorance… you must pay for this information cause it cost me a lot to dig out” Mikhail smirked mischievously.
“What do you want?” Jaxon asked with venom dripping in his words.
“Now you are talking,” Mikhail smirked.
….
I wonder what Mikhail has to tell Jaxon?
