After their affair had been discovered by their family's, Ruby had fled to her father's estate in the Hamptons, trying to escape the weight of her choices. She had spent the night tossing and turning, haunted by the look of hurt in Kendall's eyes and the knowledge that she was part of the reason for his fractured family. The next morning, she had returned to the city, resolved to end the affair. She cut off all contact with Kendall, a decision that had pained her but felt necessary. For three years, Ruby had managed to keep her distance, focusing on her modelling career and slowly edging towards her father's business. But fate had other plans. Recently, her father had brokered a significant deal with Logan Roy, a merger that required Ruby's presence and participation.
