Chapter 7 Luke didn't show up to court that day . An hour later , I walked out with the divorce decree and drove back to the penthouse . The company had some major deals brewing , so news of the divorce would stay under wraps for now . When I got home , there was an uninvited guest sitting in my living room . I frowned and called security . The guard explained sheepishly , " She had Mr. Harper's access card ... " Ruby sat up straight and looked me in the eye . " I'm here for that enamel jewelry piece Luke bought at auction last time . " She ran her hand over the leather sofa beneath her . " He said it was for me , but you've been hoarding it . " This penthouse was in my name . The day I decided on divorce , I'd already thrown out all of Luke's stuff . The expensive items didn't get trashed - probably sent to his place in the Hamptons . I didn't waste words on her . " Get out . " " Leah . " She dropped the formalities . " We're both women here . I know exactly what you're thinking . Refusing to divorce for years , then suddenly filing - you're just playing hard to get , hoping your husband will come crawling back . Nobody's buying it . " I called out " Grace ! " and soon someone came downstairs . I glanced at her , and her eyes lit up . She dropped her cleaning rag and immediately grabbed Ruby , dragging her toward the door . " Ahh - you psycho ! " Both Grace and Linda were Harper family veterans , originally brought over by Luke's mother from her own family . Linda was the calm , clever one . Grace was the enforcer . Together , they were his mother's right and left hands . Back when Luke's mother dealt with all those mistresses , Grace's hands had clawed up plenty of homewrecker faces . When I joined the Harper family , his mother assigned Grace to me . Too bad I never bothered with the drama , so Grace hadn't had much to do these past few years . Today I'd let her relive her glory days . From outside came Grace's booming voice tearing into her . " You shameless little slut ! Chasing after married men at your age - even when this city was full of kept women , none of them were stupid enough to show up at the wife's house . Your parents did a real shit job raising you ... " English was limiting her creativity , so she switched to rapid - fire Spanish , every word razor sharp . Maybe I'd have her give Luke the same treatment someday . Ruby had built up a decent online following with a carefully crafted persona . In her blog posts , she was the struggling girl from the wrong side of the tracks who caught the eye of a powerful , wealthy man . Chapter 7 Her mystery boyfriend loved her deeply - he was her savior , her lover , lifting her up from nothing . Clueless followers ate it up . " Girl , you must be amazing for someone to love you like that . " She soaked up every compliment .
