Ruined (3)

Ruby was glad she was present so Trevor wouldn't ruin her plans. "Selene doesn't like to believe me that this has all been sorted out. I know it must sting that your father passed on his belongings to a man who could run this home instead of you but you must accept it."

"How would you have run this home? You're twice married. It is evident you aren't good at making decisions," said Ruby.

Ruby turned to Xavier who did not hide his anger. "Forgive me, Lord Blackthorn but as an outsider, it is easy to see Selene as the victim. I tried to help her when I first came but she lashed out at me."

"She lost her parents and at the time, must have had to face what was said by our kind alone with no one to offer her a shoulder. Imagine how excited she would have been to see her family rush to the home but then realise they had only come to see what they could get. Have you ever thought of that?" Xavier asked.
