With Kaia's sudden demise, Ruby couldn't have the heart to continue her relationship with Miles. She broke things off with him. She also ended her friendship with Nadia and the others.
Ruby couldn't help but feel uncontrollable hatred when she saw Nadia and her group of friends having the time of their lives. She despised the fact that her little sister would never be able to live out her adult years like these guys did. She couldn't help but think this way. That's why she thought it best to cut them off from her life.
Starting from her parents, Nadia and her friends, to Miles. Ruby cut them off, then disappeared to the outskirts where Annie and Warren adopted Kaia. She hoped that it'd help her feel a little closer to Kaia.
Whilst at the outskirts, Ruby finally announced her retirement to her modelling career. Despite others trying to convince her to come back, she stood her ground, refusing to go back. Her days were spent looking after abandoned kids at the orphanage she opened there.
On the other hand, Nadia and her friends got into their family businesses and thrived there. Life was going great for them. At 25 years old, Nadia and Blake finally tied the knot in a gland wedding that was the talk of the town for weeks on end. Their love was blooming more than ever.
Before this wedding of the century, Ramon and Carlton got married to their loved ones. Roman was married to Faye and Carlton to Lexi. Zoey got married to Dante, her childhood friend. Miles was the only bachelor in their friend group. He didn't mind at all. After Ruby, he never had any interest in pursuing love with anyone.
