Chapter One
Ruby smiled as she drove home. Weeks of coming in near midnight were now over, and she could resume a normal life. Normal life. Wedding at the end of the year. She was ticking all the boxes even if she didn’t particularly want to.
She stopped to get takeout, and there was an alert on her security software. In the parking lot, she checked the new notice and opened the file. Her mouth went dry, and she was nauseous. Her fiancé and her close friend Beth were giggling and disrobing in her bedroom.
Ruby was five minutes from home, and she made her plan of attack. Her family would be crushed. They loved the idea of Tanner. She gave her phone directions and sent messages to the vendors for the wedding. By the time she parked in a visitor’s spot, her vendors had been notified, and hopefully, refunds would be issued in the next few weeks.
She sent a message to her manager and quit. By the time she left the car, she had cut every tie she had with Hardwick Security. He had lost a fiancé and employee, and she had lost her fiancé and best friend.
Ruby got out of her car, got her digital key, and walked to her place with long strides. She silenced all chirps and notices to her security system, opened her door silently, and kept her bag with her as she moved to her bedroom on quiet feet. Those she had trusted most were loudly fucking, laughing, and groaning.
Oh, cute. They locked the door.She used her master key and opened the room, turning to walk to her closet as shouts of surprise hit her ears. She kept her back toward them and got her suitcase out, getting some interview suits, shoes, and one set of casuals, and then she walked to her bureau and got panties, socks, and bras.
With her bag packed, she turned to the frozen couple on her bed. “I guess your roommates are in, and Tanner’s parents are still over. Well, don’t worry. I cancelled my parts of the wedding, and I will send you a bill for my wedding dress, Beth.”
The couple had been knotted, and Tanner did his favourite thing: he pulled out before letting the knot recede. Beth screamed, sobbed, and squealed.
“Aw, Beth. I told you he liked doing that. Don’t worry. You can have him now.”
A naked and panicked Tanner lunged for her, and she stopped him with a sharp chop to his neck. He gasped and dropped to the floor. “It just happened.”
“Tanner. You are in my apartment, where you don’t live, with my ex-friend, and you were fucking her while she was wearing my wedding dress. That is rather premeditated. Now, I am recording all of this, and if anyone asks me why I left you, they are going to get the full fucking video.”
The bright blue eyes and blond hair were now completely repulsive and not at all endearing.
“You aren’t serious.”
She lifted her left hand, pulled off her engagement ring, lifted his hand, and pressed the diamond into it. “There we go. Nice and on camera. No claiming that I didn’t give it back.”
“Ruby, baby. This isn’t what you think.”
She looked at the injured Beth, where she held sheets to her naked breasts, and the frothy silk of the wedding dress covered the rest of her.
Ruby laughed and laughed. She laughed as she left her condo. She electronically rekeyed her house on the way out. She got into her car and drove to a park on the other side of the city, and then she cried.
Her phone was ringing, and she picked up with the harsh croak of, “Hello?”
“Ruby? Honey. What happened? Your mother is freaking out, so she called me.”
Ruby rubbed her head. “Uncle Leon?”
“Aw, sweetie. Where are you?”
“Safe. Mostly. Trying to figure out what I am going to do next. I need to sell the condo. Burn the contents. You know. The standard.”
“What happened?”
In another spate of squeaking and sobs, she explained about the new sensors from Veron Industries, the miniscule cameras, and using her condo as a testing area.
“So, you have video proof?”
“Oh, yeah.”
“Send it to your parents and his. Maybe Beth’s. She seemed like such a nice girl.”
“She’s been complimenting him since the day I introduced them. It was cute until it wasn’t.” She wiped her tears and sniffed. “Now, I never want to see her again.”
“Understandable. Honeybee. Where are you?”
