Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Elijah glanced up and saw the two of them gazing at each other affectionately without any consideration for his poor, lonely soul.
Ren smiled as he enjoyed the relaxing massage, and his dimples appeared. The sight of him now pleased Ruka. She loved
seeing his smile, which was so refined and hypnotic.
The morning rays shone in through the window, and Ruka’s bare face was lit up so clearly that even her peach fuzz could be
seen. Her fair skin seemed to glow under the light.
Her lips were slightly parted, making her look a little bewitching as she called out to him wordlessly.
Ren could not be bothered to care about anyone in the room right now. His large hands reached out to cup her chin and he bent
down to kiss her on the lips. Ruka turned red. She withdrew her hand bashfully and threw a furtive look in Elijah’s direction.
She could see the smile that Elijah was struggling to hide. It was obvious that he saw what they did just now. She bit her lip and
glared at the man beside her. Shouldn’t these sorts of things be done in the privacy of the bedroom instead?
Breakfast was served just in time. Elijah took the chance to inform Ren of the meetings and itinerary for the day. When Ruka
heard how full his schedule. was, she blinked and thought to herself, How can anyone handle having that much to do in one
day?
If it were her, she would have been drained after just one meeting, but he had four in one day. “It must be exhausting to have so
many meetings,” Ruka could not help but comment aloud.
“Don’t worry, Miss Singed. Most of the meetings would involve other people reporting to Mr. Husson. All he has to do is sit in and
listen.”

‘Cancel my dinner plans. I’ll come home for dinner, Ren instructed. He did not want to spend the entire day without at least
spending a few hours with Ruka.
When Ruka heard what he said, she surmised that he wanted to have dinner with her and quickly said, “No, it’s fine. Work is
more important. I’m okay with eating dinner by myself.”
“Yes, Sir. I’ll clear your schedule for dinner,” Elijah replied. Ruka turned to Ren. “You don’t need to accompany me, really. You
have a lot of work to do right now. I totally understand.
“Miss Singed, you don’t need to try and convince him. You’re the most important person to him, so work can wait,” Elijah said
with a chuckle.
Ruka turned to the side and locked gazes with a pair of mirthful eyes. Even she could spot the affection in them.
She smiled shyly. “Alright! I’ll wait for you to come home for dinner.” After seeing Ren off, Ruka took her phone and went out to
the balcony to give her parents a call.
Claire could not hide the emotion in her voice as she asked, “Ruka, is Ren treating you alright?”
“He’s very good to me, Mom. You don’t have to worry!”
“There’s nothing for me to worry about, of course. You silly girl, you should have told us from the start and we wouldn’t have
scolded you.”
“I’m sorry, Mom. It’s my fault.” Ruka felt bad for scaring her mother like that.
