049. Watch Ruby
.Claire booked a taxi to Aron's house. It had been almost a week now—she was sure he would be worried about her."Finally, you remember me, princess," Aron said as he wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing her toward himself as he sniffed the scent from her hair."You look thin recently," he said as he looked at her, before hugging her tightly. "When are you going to make us a thing?" he asked as he turned her to face him.She smiled. "We are already a thing," she said, trying to act like she didn't understand what he was saying. How could they get married now when she hadn't claimed the Morris family yet?"You know what I mean. I want us to get married, not just dating," he said as he looked at her. In their line of work, nothing was predictable. He had the money if money was the issue, and she also had no issue when it came to that."I have to take down the Morris first, and then I would get married to you in grand style," she said, but his eyes darkened as he pushed her away.

Chloe smiled as she held his hand. "What do you think you are trying to do?" she asked as she stared at him angrily. With a smile, she slapped him hard enough."This is a correction to reset your brain. I'm not Mabel. You and your mother have no influence on me," she said as she pushed him backward."Now listen, you two fools. I'm Chloe Maxwell. If I see your four legs close to my sister's ward, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I don't mind showing you what I'm capable of," she said as she pushed her hair backward before walking back inside.Claire laughed as she walked back without saying anything, her smile was full, so long as she saw such a show.Ruby looked at Chloe. She could no longer hide her hatred and anger. "Such a shrew," Ruby sneered as she walked toward Kate.As Chloe passed, she could hear their gossip. "Whoever raised this girl did a big bad job. Such a mannerless and ill-tempered bitch," one of the bystanders said, and she stopped in her tracks.She turned to l

Claire softly padded Mabel's hair as she successfully pushed Krayon aside. "Don't worry, Mabel, your mom would be fine," she said as she looked at Chloe."Go get the doctor," she instructed. Ruby's eyes changed expression—all her plans had been ruined by Krayon. What benefit did it give them now that she was clinging to Brian like a kid?She squeezed the fabric of her dress in anger as she looked at Brian, whose concern was only for Mabel."I want my mommy," Mabel cried as she rested her head on Claire's shoulders, her eyes dim and void of any emotion—just the tears that rolled down her face and her constant wailing."Be good, Mabel. Do you want candy?" Claire said as she brought out a lollipop from her pocket, handing it to Mabel, who took it with a smile."Thanks, Aunty Claire," she said like a child, innocent and pure, but her eyes didn't light up as everyone expected. "Aunty Claire, when would I see my mother?" she asked sadly as she looked at Claire with puppy eyes."Don't worry,
046. Mabel's dream
Mabel dangled perilously over the edge of the rooftop, her heart racing as she stared down into the abyss below. Just as her grip began to slip, Claire lunged forward, her hands clasping Mabel's wrist with a fierce determination. "Hang on, Mabel! I’ve got you!" Claire shouted, her voice strained as she struggled to pull her friend back to safety.The air was thick with shock; onlookers stood frozen, eyes wide and mouths agape, unable to process the unfolding drama. Time seemed to stretch, each second heavy with the weight of impending disaster."I can’t hold on much longer!" Claire cried, desperation lacing her words as she fought against the gravity of the situation. "Brian! Get it together!" she yelled, hoping to jolt him back to reality."I want my mommy!" Mabel wailed, her voice cracking as tears streamed down her cheeks. She felt suspended between life and death, a fragile thread connecting her to the world above."How could you be so reckless?" Claire cursed under her breath as

Ruby's heart raced as she stared at the screen of her phone, the image of Mabel standing perilously on the edge of the hospital rooftop flashing before her eyes. “I don’t know what’s going on!” she exclaimed, her voice trembling as she turned to Brian, who stood beside her.Brian's brow furrowed, his mind racing. “Where’s Chloe?” he demanded, a tinge of panic creeping into his voice. Ruby met his gaze, confusion clouding her expression. “I don’t know, Brian! I haven’t left this room since morning. How would I know?” She quickly threw on her clothes, glancing at her reflection in the mirror, the reality of the situation beginning to sink in.Without another word, Brian stormed out of the room, his thoughts consumed by worry. He checked Chloe’s room first, his heart pounding with each step. Empty. He made his way down the hallway, the weight of dread pressing on him. He needed to find her and fast.As he opened the door to Claire’s room, he found her on the phone, her face pale and ten
044. A Morning to Remember
The night had wrapped Ruby and Brian in a cocoon of shared fantasies, their first time together igniting a spark that felt both electric and timeless. They had ventured into untold territories of intimacy, each moment dripping with romance and unspoken promises. As the dawn broke, the world outside was a blur of colors, but within the confines of their room, reality was still suspended in the magic of the night before.“Good morning, Ruby,” Brian whispered, his warm breath brushing against her skin as he pressed his lips softly against hers, lingering just long enough to steal her breath away before kissing her forehead. He rose from the bed, a smile on his face, glancing back at Ruby, who lay peacefully asleep, her hair tousled like a halo around her.He tiptoed into the bathroom to freshen up, excitement bubbling within him as he mentally planned their breakfast. He wanted to make today special for Ruby, to create a memory that would linger long after the sun had set. As he prepared
