Delh POV
Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
When the officer told me that Ruby Sce offered to meet with me, I was skeptical. I’m being used
of hitting her. Why the hell would she want to represent me? How the hell is she even out of the
hospital? The officer leads me to a room and when the door opens, I see Maverick before I see that
b**ch Ruby. I never hit her, but that doesn’t mean I like her. She took what was mine. I’m not talking
about Maverick. We all sit and all I can see is hate in Maverick’s eyes when he looks at me now. I can’t
believe that ba**ard Bruce set me up. I know he did this. No one else could have taken my SUV. “Get
on with it, Delh, or we are walking out of here and you can figure out how to get your conniving a**
out of this” Maverick says. “Maverick, I never meant to hurt you” I start to say and he cuts me off. “Tell
us why you think my father was involved in the hit and run.” I don’t have a choice but to tell him about
Bruce if I have any hope of getting out of this awful ce. “I met your father before we met.” His jaw
tightens but he doesn’t say anything. “He told me where you went to school and encouraged me to try
to start a rtionship with you.” “Why” he says so coldly. “He had hoped that I could help him get back
in your good graces.” I see a look on Ruby’s face and I’m sure she is putting things together.
Maverick’s expression is unreadable. I keep going before Ruby can speak. “He hoped by rebuilding his
rtionship with you he would gain ess to Mr. Piper’spany.” “I’m confused, so what did you
stand to gain from all of this?” This is the part that I don’t really want to share but I have no choice if I
want Bruce to pay for framing me. “Bruce wanted me to marry you. He knew that Stephen Piper had a
soft spot for you and thought he would make you CEO when he retired. He was furious when Ruby
took the role and screwed up his ns.” “That still doesn’t answer my question, Delh. What did you
get out of this whole n?” “The man I wanted to be with.” I can see the confusion on Maverick’s face
before realization sets in. “You f**king b**ch.” Ruby has a look of disgust but I don’t care about her
opinion of me. “Bruce promised me if I did this for him, we would be together.” “You and my father” he
looks pained and disgusted at saying it out loud. He starts tough and that is scarier than any of the
other emotions he has shown during this meeting. “Let’s go Ruby” he stands. “I told you the truth, you
said”, he ms his hands on the table.
“I can’t believe I ever cared for you.” It’s not lost on me that he doesn’t use the word love. I never loved
him, but I thought he loved me. “You were f**king my father while you were f**king me and you think I’m
still going to help you.” “Maverick, let’s go into the hallway for a moment”, Ruby says as she touches
his arm. I really hate this b**ch for ruining everything. My life has gone to sh*t because of her. I wish
Bruce seeded in ending her a**. They leave the room and a hundred thoughts run through my mind.
The two that are the most important are making Bruce pay and seeding where Bruce failed. That
b**ch will not get to be happy.
Ruby POV
As soon as we are in the hallway, I wrap myself around Maverick and he squeezes me so tight. I can
feel his anger and hurt through our bond. “What kind of people do this” he whispers more to himself
than me, but I answer anyway. “Evil people and I promise you they are both going to pay for what they
did.” He pulls back and I can see unshed tears in his eyes. He presses his forehead to mine and takes
a deep breath. “I’m so grateful that the goddess chose you as my mate Ruby. I’m so grateful that I
realized what Delh was before I made the biggest mistake of my life.” “I am d too”, I say with a
smile. He presses his lips to mine in a soft kiss. I pull back, “I know you aren’t happy about helping her,
but we need to make your father pay for all that he has done. I would like to let her rot in there as much
as you would, but I’m a firm believer that she will get what she deserves too.” He leans in and kisses
me one more time before we walk back into the room. “We will help you only because I believe you
didn’t hit my car but understand this, Delh. Once this is done, you will never go near my husband
again.” Her eyes get big and I smile to myself. Maverick threads his fingers in mine. She looks between
us with disbelief in her expression. “You’re lying, there is no way. We were engaged for a year. You
haven’t even known each other a year.”
“That’s because in my heart I knew you weren’t the right one even if I was too stupid to realize it. Ruby
is my forever and you are just a bad memory. Now, I believe my wife made the terms of our help very
clear. You stay away from me and Ruby once this is done.” She nods but I can tell she isn’t happy. I
have a feeling she won’t listen to the rules, but right now I want to use her to get all the information we
can on that ba**ard Bruce. He hurt Gwen and Maverick. He tried to hurt me but what he did to them is
far worse. We gather all the information we can from Delh before we head to the office. Maverick is
going to hire a private investigator to follow his father. When we reach the office, I’m shocked to see
Gwen waiting in the lobby. “Gwen, is everything alright?” “Yes, I’m meeting some of my friends for
lunch, but I wanted to stop and see how the meeting with Delh went.” Maverick is rocking on his feet
and I can see the anguish on his face. “Let’s go up to my office and we can talk.” We head to the
elevator and there is an awkward silence. “Maverick, you need to be honest with your mom. She
deserves to know the truth” I link him. He nods and we step off the elevator.
As soon as my eyes meet Jennifer’s there is a look of shock that is gone as quickly as it came. “Ms.
Sce, it’s good to see you.” Before I can answer, she looks past me. “What the hell are you doing
here?” I hear Gwen ask from behind me. I turn and the look of pain on her face makes Gemma growl.
“Gwen what’s wrong?” “What is she doing here,” she says, pointing at Jennifer, who now has a smirk
on her face. “Mom how do you know her” Maverick asks. “She is the woman that was in my bed with
your father the day he left.” All the air feels like it has been sucked out of the room. “Maverick take your
mother to your office while I deal with this. Jennifer my office now.” Maverick passes us with his arm
around Gwen. Once we reach my office, I close the door. “You can’t fire me because I was with her
husband. I can sleep with anyone I want too. It is wrongful termination and I will sue thispany.” “Sit
your a** down, now” I say while I try to keep Gemma under control.
Jade POV
Luca kissed me before he left this morning. He had some paperwork he needed to take care of before
we meet with the council. I slide out of bed and check Luna. She is still fast asleep. I grab my clothes
and get changed. I put on light makeup and pull my hair into a high ponytail. A knock sounds on the
door and I expect it to be Esme when I open it. I’m shocked to find William standing in the hallway.
“Luca is in his office.” “I know, I was wondering if we could talk.” I look around the room, feeling
ufortable about being alone with William in this room. “I mean in my office, Jade.” I’m sure he can
see the hesitation when I don’t answer immediately. “I mean you no harm Jade. I just want to talk to
you.” “I wille to your office, but I have no intention of giving up my bond with Luca no matter what
you have to say.” “I will send one of the girls to show you the way.” He leaves and Luna starts to fuss. I
get her changed and fed before I head into the hallway. A pretty youngdy is waiting when I open the
door. “Ma’am I’m here to take you to Sir William’s office.” I nod “I need to let Esme know where I am
going.” She waits and I stop at Esme’s room. “Jade, I don’t know if that is a good idea” she says so
only I can hear. “I’ll be fine and you can let Luca know where I am, so he won’t worry.”
I turn and follow the woman down a hallway that leads through a set of wooden doors. Luna is ying
with my hair as I walk and it makes me giggle. The woman points to a door and I knock. “Come in”, he
says, and I push open the door. He is sitting behind arge desk. “Jade, please have a seat.” He smiles
when he sees Luna and I can feel his love for her. “Jade, first I would like to apologize for the way I
treated you. I understand that you and my son are fated mates. I don’t agree with your mating, but I
had no right to treat you badly.” “We are and we n onpleting the bond. You don’t have to agree
with the goddess, but we do.” “I know that Luca told you about Cynthia. Luca is a grown man, but I was
trying to save him from the heartache of losing his mate. I knew that Cynthia wasn’t strong enough and
unfortunately, I was right. Luca was destroyed when she died and honestly, I expected he would never
choose to have a mate again. I only pressured him to take Monica as a mate because it would satisfy
the council and he wouldn’t be attached to her.” I’m sure my face must show my disgust at his thinking.
“So, you would prefer he be in a mating that is purely political. What about his happiness?” “Luca’s
mother was my fated mate. She betrayed me and left us. Despite our bond, she decided that she
wanted something different. It nearly killed me. I was so angry with her and I threw myself into running
the kingdom. I wasn’t the father I should have been to Luca. I have never told Luca about his mother.
He has asked but I couldn’t bring myself to speak about her after what she did.” “Why are you telling
me all of this William?” “I don’t want to see my son hurt because he believes in the bond. I love my son
and Luna even if I’m not the best at showing it.” “I promise you, William, that Luca and Luna mean
everything to me. I would never betray our bond.” He is just about to say something else when the door
is thrown open and a very pissed off Luca is looking between us. His ck eyes let me know that
Sebastian is at the surface. I stand and hand Luna to William before Ie to stand in front of Luca.
“I’m fine, we were just talking.” I’m pulled into his arms and he buries his nose into the crook of my
neck. “I don’t want you alone with him” he says in my ear. I rub circles on his back until he finally calms
down. He pulls back, “I want to know everything you said to my mate now.”
