Ruby
I was busy arranging our clothes in the wardrobe, well, they were already arranged but I was pretty bored without my phone and I was in no mood to watch TV. So I messed it all up and started rearranging them again.
I heard the door click and knew that Satan was walking into his doom. He walked inside slowly, and I watched him carefully through the mirror while still continuing to do what I had set out to do. He glanced at me for a moment as he took off his watch and threw it on the bed.
"We'll talk after I take a bath," he said backhandedly, as he walked closer to take some clothes. His eyes fell on me and what I was doing as he did so.
"Why are you folding clothes? It was supposed to be arranged already, please don't tell me those servants just took my money without doing their job," Vexon let out, which made me chuckle. However, I still didn't utter a word.
"I never made the wrong choice," he mumbled and bent towards me. "Cute," he remarked, suddenly pinching the tip of my nose.
I stood frozen in place and stunned at his actions.
He took his clothes from the wardrobe before heading into the washroom, leaving me standing there in shock.
Did he just call me 'cute'? And what did he mean by 'he never made the wrong choice?'
I shook my head, wondering why this was bothering me. Shaking my head again and letting out a deep sigh, I continued to pack away the clothes as I wanted it.
"Done," I muttered with a smile, after arranging the last pile of clothes, before lying down on the bed.
Now, I could finally sleep peacefully.
As soon as I laid on the bed, I squealed to find that I had landed on Vexon's watch. Pulling the thing out from under me, I found it to be a Daniel Wellington watch. Cursing Vexon and his need to leave his things lying around, a need to throw his watch out the window took over. Looking towards the washroom to see if the coast was clear, I got ready to launch the thing, "Three, two..."
I stopped at the last second as I looked down at the thing again, "I can't throw it," I mumbled, "You're lucky, I can't hurt you because you did nothing wrong plus you're from my favorite brand. And no-one should hurt the things they love, should they?" I said, to the thing with a sad smile, before getting up and placed his watch on the dressing table before going to lie down on the soft bed again.
Vexon walked out of the washroom a few minutes later, wearing black trousers with a navy blue t-shirt, water droplets falling from his hair. If the situation were different, I would have found him handsome, but he's in the Mafia! He was in the profession I feared the most and he married me against my will with the addition of being ruthless. I hated him for ruining my life.
I watched him as he stood in front of the mirror, messing with his hair. I let out a huge sigh as I rolled my eyes before closing them.
"We need to talk," he spoke up, but I ignored him and tried to fall asleep.
Normally I could sleep the moment my head hit the pillow, but right now it seemed to escape me.
"Fine, I will talk and you can listen," he said, sounding closer.
As soon as I felt the bed dip, I opened my eyes and sat up to find him smiling at me.
"Now we can talk," he let out with a look at me.
No, you can talk, I have nothing to say to you, Satan.
"About yesterday..." he started, and as I looked in his eyes I noticed that guilt and regret shone in them, and maybe he was searching for the right words... "Actually, let it go, would you?" he asked with a smile.
What?
The least I expected from him was an apology with an explanation of what he did and why, but all he said was let it go.
Is he nuts?
"Are you freaking nuts? So many things happened, my life was ruined and you're asking me to let it go?" I shrieked, deciding it was time to break my silence because things were now getting out of hand.
"Look, Gem. Whatever happened, happened. We can't go back and redo it, now can we? So let's just move on. That's all I wanted to say," he said casually but for some reason, I felt as if this wasn't his actual speech. He changed what he wanted to say at the last moment.
"That's all you wanted to say, after how you dared to treat me!"
"What did you want me to do?" Vexon said back.
"You abused me, you hurt me. Did you think I just woke up with a cut on my forehead, with a bruised wrist? No, you did this to me you monster!" I carried on shouting, tears now threatening to spill from my face. I was angry at him, angry at my mother, angry at everyone for not helping me.
And here he had the audacity to tell me to just let it go.
"You ruined my life, and you want me to move on. Why don't you just do me the favor and divo��"
"Don't," Vexon breathed out, making me flinch at how stern his voice suddenly got. "If my intention were to leave you, I wouldn't have married you in the first place, Ruby. Get this in your head and learn to adjust," he snapped before getting up and walking out the room.
I stared after him in anger, what's wrong with him? I knew nothing about him and he was acting like a total jerk telling me to get with the program. What a jerk!
We had just met the day before, for God's sake and now I was married to him.
My stomach grumbled in hunger and I realized that I didn't have anything apart from brunch.
Hearing a knock on the door, a feminine voice spoke up from the other side, "Your dinner is ready, Mrs. Bevine."
Mrs. Bevine? Vanera? Is she here?
"Mrs. Bevine?" she called again.
Where are you, Vanera? That lady is calling you, I think, looking around for her miserably.
"Mrs. Ruby Bevine? Are you inside?" the woman inquired.
Mrs. Bevine? That means... Oh shit!
I rushed towards the door and opened it with a smile. I let the waitress enter and saw that she brought all my favorite dishes on a trolley. She left after I thanked her.
"Oh my!" I breathed, taking in the sight of the food. It had waffles, pancakes with chocolate syrup, a chicken sandwich, French fries, and let's not forget my triple cheeseburger.
How could they know all my favorite dishes?
That's when I get hit by a tsunami. Vexon Bevine��my husband.
This was the truth. Whether I accepted it or not. I had to understand that I was no longer Ms. Ruby Gerund.
I am now Mrs. Ruby Bevine.
After eating my dinner, I laid on the bed, covering myself with the blanket. I adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner.
How will I handle this situation?
How about I just run away from here? I thought to myself. I could do that. We were in Dubai. Out of tons of people, if I run away, Vexon can't find me.
If your intention was to run away, then you could have jumped off from the plane. �� there spoke my subconscious.
Shut up! I said I wanna run away. Not die right away, I poked back.
So, back to the plan. If I ran away, where would I stay? We were in the UAE. It would be impossible for me to get out of here and reach Canada without Vexon's knowledge.
How about I run away after going back to Canada?
That sounded good. I knew everything there, so I could easily escape.
Until then, I would enjoy Dubai��yeah, with Vexon. Just explore my dream country for now and I could escape once I get back to Canada.
The plan was awesome. I should get an Oscar for planning it nicely.
Meanwhile, where did Vexon go anyway?
