Substitute Wife For The Blind CEO
Chapter 14
Chapter 14: Blackmail
Ruby stood in the middle of the room, her phone still in her hand, fingers clenched tightly around it. Her palms were slick with sweat, but her body felt cold all over. That last message wasn’t just a threat — it was a promise.
Someone out there wasn’t just aware of her secret — they were planning to exploit it.
She turned and began pacing, her mind racing.
What are you willing to do to keep your secret?
She hated the question because deep down, she didn’t know the answer. How far was she willing to go?
Lie? She already had.
Manipulate Stefan? Done.
Betray a woman who had once called her family? Every day she pretended to be Ivy, she was doing exactly that.
The line she swore she’d never cross was starting to blur — and whoever this person was, they knew it.
What was she going to do now? Allow herself be blackmailed? Who could she call to ask about this? What if neither her mom or Elizabeth said something to anyone? Was that even a question? Of course they didn’t say anything so who could it be that was blackmailing her?
Ruby stopped pacing, her bare feet rooted to the cool floor as another wave of panic pulsed through her chest.
What if it wasn’t Elizabeth? What if it wasn’t Mom?
She had gone along with their plan because they said it would be clean, controlled. That no one else would ever know until after that one year. And yet... someone did. But how? Who? Why was the person reaching out to her and not Elizabeth or her mom?
She grabbed her phone again and, after a brief hesitation, scrolled down to her mom’s contact. Her thumb hovered for a moment before she pressed "Call." The dial tone buzzed in her ear, her heartbeat growing louder with each ring.
