RUBY WINTERFIELDS STORY 💔
Ruby Jackson was an ordinary colored girl . She grew up in the suburbs of Hermanis to two doctors...her mother was a neurologist while her father was a dentist.
And as you guessed it she was groomed into a doctor.Her parents from birth filled her childhood with science and shunned her when she wanted to buy princess books instead of boring physics novels.
She never felt like she could dream or even be just a girl. In school she had several friends who also had rich parents and so they understood her life. As they were also groomed to be billionaires .At 16 years old she secretly auditioned for a play in their school and got the role . She decided to drop the science and debate team but enter the theater club instead.
Even though she was still doing science related subjects in school, her heart was set on the arts.
After school she found her voice and told her parents she wanted to be a film star and was gonna study theater arts in university. And they allowed her even though they weren't fully convinced she had thrown away all her 7 distinctions for that .

She met Joshua WINTERFIELD in her second year of university...he was a freshman and she was his tour guide. They became friends and study partners, even with the two year age gap between them and him doing a different course to hers they still enjoyed each other's company.
They parted ways when she graduated with her degree. She got a internship at a modeling agency and moved from Hermanis to Pretoria.
Its not until one event in Cape town brought them to each other. At age 24 and him aged 22 they both knew what they wanted and it was at the end of the night that he said ' I love you ' .
They married two years later and bought a house. A story book love story it was... until fate took them off the tracks of their happily ever after.
Josh turned into a monster the very day her heart decided to live outside her body. She couldn't be a mother and now being a wife was all she had...even her art couldn't bring her back to life again.
Healing from the surgery that saved her life from cancer, was way difficult than it was supposed to have be. The doctors said she needed family support but the one person who was supposed to be there with in the hospital and during remission was absent. Though her parents tried to be her support...Joshua chose to be out of it .

The first time he hit her was the day he came back drunk and confessed his infidelity. He cried and said he was sorry, said he felt disgusted at himself and how he asked God to forgive him. He even called his mother and asked for couples therapy.Ruby WINTERFIELD ...she almost wanted her maiden name back when he confessed. He felt disgusted...what about her, he wasn't the one to hear how incomplete she was when he got drunk. Now his disgusted...
...she cursed him out ,even in afrikaans. Then like a slab of frozen water on her caramel skin ...the first slap bruised her .
She's never been violent but right then she knew her blackness came out and she threw him off her . He ended up with a broken leg and severely bruised face and she had broken three ribs . When he started fighting back she ran to their bedroom upstairs and called his mother, she lived an hour away and was on her way.
When Mrs. WINTERFIELD arrived Ruby was locked up in her ensuite bathroom and Josh was sitting on the stairs.
Mrs. WINTERFIELD was a couples therapist and was willing to counsel them ...she was also currently studying nursing and was able to attend to both of them.Ruby didn't know why at such a life threatening moment she couldn't call her mother instead she had to call someone else...her parents distanced themselves from her when she went into Film .
Josh ' s infidelity was blasted in the media after the escort he was cheating on Ruby with had posted a picture of Josh and her at a private hotel room.
After their PR handled the issue...Josh did a public apology even though he didn't exactly change his ways.
Even on their 4 year anniversary all he did was buy her Roses and fuck her till he got tired
He never touches me like he used to, never makes love to me like before, he never supports any of my dreams anymore...never sees me like he used to . Is it because I don't have the ability to reproduce or that I'm not whole anymore.
×××××××
So she highed a Private Investigator to find out who had taken her place in his heart .The results were her undoing. And the final nail in the coffin he had buried their love in .
" She's pregnant with his kid...and he wants to keep it, I'm sorry Mrs WINTERFIELD". My P.i leaves the pictures hid taken and leaves the cafe.
