Forbidden Love: My Daddy's Best Friend novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93 

I watch as Emily walks in with Alaric. Bex glares at him, and for a change, I won’t stop her death stares. I’m not sure what to say, though. 

“Did I do something wrong?” He looks at Bex, and she glares harder. “Can we talk alone, please?” He laughs slightly at Bex and her attempts to murder him with her eyes. 

“Use the kitchen.” Emily points to it, and I walk through with him following me. The door closes, and he moves towards me, my hand moving and going up to stop him. 

“Okay, so I’ve done something. What? If I overstepped the mark that night, just say Ruby.” He looks at me, waiting. 

“Are you fucking joking!” He has to be, he’s acting all innocent, there is no fucking way that Beatrix didn’t fucking tell him I called around. I fight to hold in the tears. 

“No, I’m not. I have no idea what the fuck is going on, Ruby. You were fine on the phone, I get home at seven, and find your keys on the side. What did I do wrong?” 

“Alaric, I know. I know you’re fucking married to Beatrix!”

“That’s what this is over?” He laughs slightly, and my anger grows. “I’m not married; she disappeared; I got an annulment. You could have just asked Ruby.” 

“I don’t understand.” I don’t. At all. 

“I was seventeen when I married her; it wasn’t legal. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you; I didn’t think it was relevant.” 

“Considering she is living in your house, it’s relevant Alaric.” 

“What?” He looks at me in shock. “No, she isn’t. Why would you even think that?” 

“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because I showed up at yours, and she was in your kitchen half naked. She talked about how you were married, and referred to me as your assistant that you said was coming to sort an issue. Maybe it’s the fact her clothes were all over your bedroom floor!” 

My head falls. “You could have just told me, Alaric. To let me walk in and see her there, though, that was fucked up.” 

“Ruby, I’ve no fucking idea what you’re talking about.” He stands looking at me. “Are you sure that is who it was and not a random woman Jake brought back?” 

“She had your marriage certificate, Alaric! She went back to your room to get dressed. She was wearing your fucking robe.” The

tears I had been fighting back rolled down my face, and he moved towards me. 

My hand pushes him back. “Okay, I’m still confused as I have no idea what is happening. Just, are you sure she said her name was Beatrix?” 

“Yes! Why are you trying to deny it?” I don’t understand. 

“I’m ringing Jake.” I watch as he takes out his phone. I hear him 

answer. 

‘Jake, just a second.” I watch as he puts it on speakerphone. “Have you heard anything from your mum?” The line goes quiet. “Jake?” 

“Yes, she reached out about a week ago. I’ve spoken to her, why?” 

“Spoken to her about what, Jake?” Alaric sits and looks annoyed. 

“Me, mostly. She wanted to know about me. I spoke about you and Ruby as she asked if you had moved on. Why?” I looked at Alaric confused. 

“Has been in the house?”

“No.” Jake’s reply is quick. 

“Jake, the fucking truth as Ruby showed up and she was there, has she been in the house?” 

“Yeah, she visited the other day. You had told me you wouldn’t be home, so I told her she could stay. She was gone the next day, though. I told her to be gone before six.” 

So she wasn’t with Alaric? 

“Don’t fucking leave her in the house alone ever again.” Alaric hangs up and looks at me. “I swear I had no fucking idea. I got home, the house was empty and your keys were on the side with a note saying…” His words stop. 

“Saying what Alaric?” 

“I should have realised; the note said, ‘I can’t live this life“.” What she had said originally. “I swear I didn’t even fucking know she was back.” 

He walks to me and wraps his arms around me, and this time I let him. “I’m sorry, but she knew my name and said you had mentioned I was your assistant. Then your bed was a mess, and her clothes were all over your room.” 

“It’s fine. I just had no idea. I thought I had hurt you the night before, and you were running.” His arms tighten around me.

“You didn’t hurt me, Alaric, I swear. Your message was also weird. It sounded different.”

“That is my fault. I left my phone in the office and was stuck in a meeting. I passed a note on to my assistant and asked her to message you. I didn’t want to put anything weird on it, sorry.” He pulls me closer. 

“We need to get back. I need to speak to Jake and find out what is happening.” 

“I’ll go home with Bex.” I don’t think I can go to his and see her again. 

“No, you’re coming with me. Don’t run from me, Ruby.” 

Running seems like the best thing right now. 

“She won’t be there. I just need to get everything from Jake and warn him not to let her in again or even speak about me and your to her.” 

I’m not sure. I glance around the room. 

“Okay, you go home with Bex, and when you feel ready, you can message me.” He steps back and smiles.

I’m not sure if 1 want to go back with Bex. I don’t want to avoid Alaric, but I’m not sure I can go to his without thinking about her. 

“I’ll see you later, baby girl.” Kissing my head, he turns to leave. 

“Wait, I’ll come with you.” We need to talk, and me hiding away won’t make it happen. Walking through, Bex glares at him again. 

“You’re forgiving him?” She sits shocked. 

“He didn’t do anything. Jake confirmed that on the phone. Alaric had no idea she was in the house.” I can’t have her wanting to kill Alaric. 

“Fine, no killing Alaric. Where is Beatrix?” 

I groan at her words, and she laughs. 

“I’m kidding, I’m kidding. Kinda.” She moves and hugs me. “I’m guessing you’re not coming home and are sorting shit out?” 

“Yeah, I’ll be back tomorrow.” Hugging me, she looks at Alaric. “How is this working? I came in his car.” 

“Here.” I hand her my keys. I watch as she leaves, turning I look at Emily. “Thanks for not throwing me out.” I hug her, and she laughs.

“I’m happy to house the pastor’s devil child anytime.” 

“I’m never returning, ever.” Laughing I hug her again and walk out. Getting in the car, we sit in silence. 

“I’m sorry. I should have told you about us getting married, even if I got an annulment. I had no fucking idea she had been Ruby.” 

“Alaric, it’s fine stop apologising. It’s not on him. Had I just fucking messaged, maybe things would have got sorted. quickly? 

“I think it’s safe to say we have both perfected this ghosting thing, so we don’t do it again, okay?” He looks at me, and I laugh. He’s not wrong. First, he ghosted me, and then I ghosted him. An hour later, he stops outside, and we walk in. 

Jake looks up at us. “I didn’t think it would be an issue for her to come here,” he says, looking at Alaric. 

“Jake, you should have told me she had gotten in touch.” Alaric walks over and makes a drink. He looks at me, and I nod. Taking the glass, I sit down. 

“I’m an adult; it’s not like I’m a kid. I didn’t think you would need to know.” Jake stands confused. “What happened?” 

“What happened is, Ruby showed up. Your mum told her we

were married, stood here basically naked, and made it out as if I had fucked her and called Ruby an assistant.” Alaric shouts. 

“I’m sorry. She was asking me about me, then she asked how you were and if I had a mum around growing up, and then she asked if you had moved on at all. I didn’t think.” He’s looking at me full of apology. 

“Jake, it’s fine.” I smile at him.. 

“No, it fucking isn’t! You let her in, Jake, not only that but let her stay the night and left here alone?”
