Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord

Ruby grabbed Trevor’s hand. "It might be better for you to stay inside. There are countless men outside who serve him. We can send a servant to the court to handle this. We must be smart."

Ruby knew it was very likely the paper Xavier had was not forged but they could ignore it and claim the one they had was real. Why did Selene need to ruin everything by marrying a lord? It was all going so well.

"He will not leave," Trevor said, certain of it. "I need you to go and calm Paige down. We can’t make her upset."

Ruby knew that but for now, she needed to focus on Trevor’s safety. They had welcomed a devil into their home.

"Selene is out there. She’s too scared to come to us-"

"I can hear you quite well," Xavier interrupted the conversation. "Careful when speaking about her."

It seemed there was only one smart person in this home since Trevor’s wife left hopefully to gather her things.

"I can’t wait an hour," Xavier said, having better things to do with his time. "Lucas, have the others start pulling everything off the walls and throw it outside. We’re giving them a helping hand."

Ruby saw red after Xavier’s offer. "This isn’t settled yet. We can’t trust that what you have is real when we have our papers."
