Then immediately Caroline approached him and he rolled his eyes.

"Excuse me" he half yelled

"Come on just have some fun with me" she said as she bit her lips she eyes scanning him up and down

"What do you mean fun, excuse me I have a wife!"

She then scoffed as she heard the word wife.

"How would you feel if you found out what your beloved wife is doing behind your back?" She said as she smirked.

"What do you mean?" He asked with a raised brow, she was about to say something when Asher came.

"Oh hi Xavier, it seems that um, Ruby is calling you!"

"Oh Ruby, I'll be right there!"

Xavier said as he left there, Caroline glared at Asher

"You think your little secret won't get into the open?"

"Can you just shut up, why are you trying to ruin Ruby's life?"

"Oh please all you guys can talk about is Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, what do you see in her"

"She is a good person, with a good heart!"

She rolled her eyes, she then left.

"I need to stop her from telling everyone what happened, I'll wipe her memory tonight and get rid of that flipping camera!"

He said muttered as he went his own way.

"They say that your are looking for me!" Xavier said as soon as he entered the room.

She immediately hugged him tight.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to!" She said guiltily.

He then pat her head and said

"Hey,....hey why are you crying?"

"I didn't mean to cheat on you, I know you said I should stay away from Asher but I didn't listen now I have gotten us into a mess, I don't know if anyone saw us."

She spat all at one.

"What did he do to you?"

"He kissed me, it's not his fault I too kissed him" she said honestly and he sighed.

"Is that why your crying?"

She then nodded in his arms and he raised her chin up and looked at him and he said

"I'm not mad at you okay"

"Really you aren't?"

"No, I'm not mad at you, just stop crying I hate your tears!"

She sniffed and used the back of her palm to clean her tears and stayed in his arms for sometime.

"Oh shoot!!!!, I have to go for my dress fitting!"

"Can we stay like this for sometime?"

She nodded and he hugged tightly for sometime and pulled away letting her go for her dress fitting.

As soon as she left he remembered the words the king said to him

*"She is your only medicine protect her at all cost"*

He then sighed tiredly and rested his head on the bed, he tried to sleep but the nightmare, he had it again, his head throbbing from the pain he shed a tear.

Right now, he was afraid of sleeping.

When she was done with the dress fitting she came neck to the palace and went to her room, she saw Xavier on the floor his body cold and sweat all over his body.

She rushed to him and held his hand tight and shaked his body.

"Xavier wake up!!, wake up!!" She said it looked as though he was having a nightmare.

"Don't touch her!!!, please don't take her away from me!" Xavier mumbled and she yelled.

"XAVIER!!!!"

He woke up, and immediately he hugged he with hot tears streaming from his eyes.

"Don't leave me again!!" He said as he hugged her tighter than ever like his life depended on it, she took didn't plan to let go she wanted him to feel better.

He then looked at her and she caressed his cheek and said

"Don't worry I won't leave you!",

"You promise!"

"Yes I do!" She said as she hugged him for a while, he fell asleep in her arms.

His weight increases on her body and she immediately knew that he had slept.

She then carried him with her little strength to the bed and covered him a blanket, she then went to the bathroom to have a shower, when she was done she wore her nightie and laid on her side of the bed.

"You promise not to leave me!" He muttered, it looked like he was sleep talking but she responded never the less.

"I'm still here!"

"You promised not to leave my arms" he said again and rolled closer to her and put his hands around her spooning her.

His hands are on her waist as he drew her closer to him, he breath hit he'd at his touch, she had never been so close to a man.

He hot breath grazing her neck, she shivered slightly, before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Ruby woke up as the sunday's hit her her beautiful face, she blinked a couple of times to wake up fully as she looked to her side she saw a sleeping Xavier.

She had never seen anyone look so cute while sleeping, his light pale skin, his cute long lashes, soft pink lips and long white hair, with black stripes.

She then used her hand to touch his face and then moved to his lips and he smiled and immediately removed her hands.

"How long have you been awake?"

"Long enough to know that your obsessed with my face!" He said with a smirk.

She then scoffed.

"Who is obsessed with your ugly face, definitely not me!" She said in defense.

"Did you just call me ugly, you'll pay tonight!"

As he said that she blushed, tonight was gonna be their wedding night, although they have done what couples do, tonight was gonna be special.

Immediately they heard a knock on the door and Yvonne walked in with other maids.

"Good morning My Queen and also her husband!" They greeted as they bowed.

"I'm sorry sir you have to leave, we want to get your bride ready for her wedding!"

"Where am I gonna get ready?"

"You can get ready somewhere else sir but for now, we need to get the princess ready" Yvonne said again and Ruby chuckled at their exchange.

He then grumbled like a little kid and left the room, immediately he left one of the maids closed the door and immediately they started getting Ruby ready.

They first bathed her with the most delicate rosy bath, then after that they started applying her make up, after drying her up.

One of the maids worked on her hair while one did her make up.

They applied her some light makeup, and curled her hair putting it up in a bun, leaving some strands to fall in her face, she was looking dazzling already even without the dress.

It was a ivory coloured dress, with a deep v-neck on the front which showed a little of her her cleavage and it has a corset on the back which lead to a large bow.

It was a big ball gown with it reaching the floor, it had a cape which swept the floor.

She was adorned with different jewelries, necklaces, earrings you name it she wore it. With some White coloured dress

She looked beautiful.

"How do I look?" She asked Yvonne

"You look muah!" She said as she blew her a kiss.

She then took a deep breath and the maid opened the door for her and she stepped out and made her way to the hall.

As soon as she entered the wedding march song was played and she descended from the stairs looking like an angel.

All eyes in the room turned to her, including Xavier's, as he gazed at her adoring her beauty from up to down their eyes met and she blushed slightly.

He looked quite handsome, he was on a blue blazer with a pair of white pants his white hajr laid back giving him the dreamy look.

As soon as she reached him the ceremony began the priest began his speech.

"You look beautiful!" Xavier mouth med and she blushed and said

"You too, I mean you look good!" She said and he smiled back at her.

Caroline watched the scene in front of her with anger boiling in her blood.

"I do!" Xavier said then the priest looked atRuby and asked her.

"Do you take him to be your husband in sickness and in health till death do you part!"

"Yes I do!"

"Does anyone object to this union?" The priest asked and immediately Caroline raised her hand and Ruby rolled her eyes.

"I object!!!"

"Why??" The priest asked.

"Because this woman..." She was about to say something but Xavier used his hands and sealed her mouth she couldn't say anything.

"She....." Her mouth couldn't say it.

"Sit down ma'am it seems you don't have anything to say"

"You may now kiss the bride!" The priest said as Xavier captured her lips in a breathtaking kiss

Everyone cheered for the couple except for Asher and Caroline who were both burning in jealousy.

✰ASTORIA, NIGHT TIME✰

After the long day, of waving at guest and smiling at everyone, Ruby and Xavier retired to their room.

"I'm so tired!" Ruby said with a yawn.

He then hugged her from behind his hot breath grazed her neck she flinched a little at his sudden movement.

"What are you doing?" She asked

"Is it a bad thing for me to hug my loving wife from behind or don't you like it?" He asked and she said nothing, he got his answer.

He then came in front of her and held her hand, he kissed it softly, and shivered.

He then looked at her eyes, and immediately got lost in them, their eyes had different emotions written in them, he then kissed her lips softly.

It felt like the world around them froze as the only thing that mattered to them at that moment was themselves.

The kiss suddenly started becoming vigorous, his lips hungered for hers, he then stuck his tongue into her half opened mouth and started playing with her tongue.

Their tongue fought like as though they were playing a game of of tug of war.

The room's temperature increased, the room suddenly became hot.

His hands drawing imaginary circles on her back, she dug her hand into his thick white hair, ruffling it in the process.

"Oh Xavier" she moaned and he pulled away from her lips, his lips then found its way to her neck grazing it softly and his hot breath made her lose her senses.

He then went to her upper breast, kissing it with passion and desire clear in the kiss.

He then moved back to her lips kissing her again, his hands then went to the rope of her corset and he skillfully removed it and the she was free from the corset.

She then pulled away and removed the dress she was only in a thin layer of clothing, she then kissed with the same passion.

His hands then went under the shirt and he squeezed her breast slightly, playing with her nipples, she moaned.

She was going crazy under his touch.

He then removed his shirt in between kisses and she pulled away and started kissing every inch of his broad chest.

Other times when they did this they were just having s*x but right now, they were love making, this was their way of expressing love for each other.

They undressed each other until the were naked she blushed slightly seeing the size of his member in front of her and before she could understand what was going on they had fun, and damn, she enjoyed every little bit of it.

⚜️JERICHO, THAT SAME NIGHT⚜️

Karina rode her horse into the night, it was her hobby, she loved horse riding, she all of a sudden got tired so she alighted from the horse.

She stopped close to a stream.

"Becky, come on go drink some water!" She and the horse did as it was told it drank some water.

Karina sat at the bark of the tree she rested her head and gazed at the stars, until she slept off, she woke up when she felt a presence.

The air around her started becoming cold, the environment was very dark.

"Whose there?" Karina yelled but no one answered, she brought out her sharp sword and it cut through thin air.

"Who is there?" She asked again and no one answered.

"Oh love don't be scared it's your husband!" The voice said and she scoffed.

"Who the hell are you, and what gives you the right to call me you wife!"

"I never did, you called yourself my wife" he said

"Come out coward!" She said and a stranger covered in black walked closer to her.

Her grip on the sword tightened, she then was about to cut him when her sword disappeared from her hand and the stranger kissed her.

Her eyes widened
