A Mission To Happily Ever After 108
Ruby woke up to the loud sounds of gun shots, she quickly got off the bed, she looked at where Liam had been sleeping but he wasn’t there, she went over to see Kristen and she was sleeping peacefully despite the loud sounds of gun shots, her whole being shoot in fear wondering what was going on, she checked the time and it was two am, two am and there were so many gunshots as if they were at a war front, she didn’t even know they to do, Liam wasn’t here and she didn’t want to leave her office, but when she heard footsteps and Lewis’s voice she couldn’t stay put, she tried to open her office and realized it was locked, she quickly fetched her key from her bag and opened the door.“What’s going on Lewis?”She asked, it wasn’t just Lewis but the other guys were out too, they kind of looked scared, Sara being the one with the most scared looking face.“I don’t know, I was woken by the sounds, I don’t know what’s going on,”Lewis said. There was no way to figure out what was going on, she

“Don’t open, please don’t,”She whispered and sat back down listening attentively, she kept hearing the soft voice, she didn’t want to open the door but then the voice sounded like Liam and he called her name, she looked around, maybe she shouldn’t have sent the others back to their rooms, maybe she was hallucinating and making it seem like it was Liam calling her when it wasn’t, but she couldn’t stop herself from finding out, she slowly walked to the door, her heart beating faster against her chest, she unlocked the door and gently opened it.She saw him, her heart skipped a beat, he looked like he was going to collapse and was bleeding.“Liam! Oh my goodness, what happened to you?”She asked, running to him, he smiled, he had the mind to smile at her at that moment when he looked like he was almost gone.“Liam, what the fuck happened to you? Why were you out so late? What happened?”She asked holding onto him, he didn’t say a word, she struggled to get him into the hospital but he h

“Aren’t you going to say anything to me?”Liam asked her as she silently worked on his wounds, she wasn’t saying anything to him and it made him anxious, he would have preferred her yelling and scolding him to her silence right now, he touched her hair but she moved his hand away and continued working on his wound, it didn’t even hurt that much anymore unlike when she newly started, he has been through hell today but this was nothing compared to all the shits he had to bear when he was still in the military, this pales in comparison, but still he had suffered a lot today because of his hardheadedness and he had no one to blame, just when he had thought he was finally close to the hospital, there was another open air shooting, it was so close to him that he had panicked and ran into the bush which had made his bruises worse, he stayed out until the shooting had seized before he came out of his hiding and walked like he was going to die to the hospital.He made it alive but the woman in

“Nothing, I just remembered my daughter’s face when she saw me a while ago,”He responded.“Aha, the daughter, I will like to meet her,”“Oh, you will,”“Good, so back to business and why I came here, I don’t think I want to go around looking at anything, I already saw enough from up there,”Luca said adjusting his shades.“Yes, let’s go to my apartment and we can talk properly, I will go get Kristen,”“Oh, won’t she disturb us? We have a lot to talk about and kids always get in the way,”“Nah, other kids but not my Kristen, she is the most calm and sweetest little princess I know, and the hospital is looking like it will be very busy, I don’t want to stress the medical team by leaving her with them when I can easily have her with me, they have done so itch, I don’t want to abuse their kindness,”He explained.“I understand, I will say Hi too,”Luca said as he gave instructions to the men with him and they both walked towards the hospital, when they got there, Liam met Sara at the rec

“Just kiss her goodbye for me if you think I won’t be able to meet her before she leaves and tell her I love her and wish her all the best,”She said and left the room, walking down the hallway she felt her eyes heavy with unshed tears, it was painful that everything was going to end soon, yes that was what she wanted but it also meant that she was going to have to give away this temporary feeling of belonging somewhere away and it wasn’t easy for her, she knew it wasn’t going to be easy but didn’t know it would affect her so much, she didn’t know Kristen would be leaving earlier either, she should have done better and made use of their time together more.“Ruby? Are you okay?”Sara asked when she walked into the labor ward, she nodded without saying a word, went to the corner where she washed her hands, and set to work, she knew Sara was looking at her with concern and smiled in her direction.“I am fine, let’s do this,”She said and walked up to the expectant mother who was in so mu

“I am happy Sara, I was happy before I came here and met Liam and I will be happy when I leave too,”She told the lie that everyone including the others knew was a lie, they saw her, they knew how she was before they all came here, they knew about her sudden divorce, and most if not all knew about how hard she tried to get pregnant.“So you're telling me that if you leave now and never see Liam and Kristen ever again? You will not regret it? Is that it?”She asked. She was preying too far, going to places even Ruby herself had not tried to go to because she knew she would not like it.“Yes, I won’t,”She lied.“Oh my God, I blame Richard for this, I just wish you had met someone else before him, I know you will say I prey too far but Ruby, we have known each other for a while now and I can tell you that I am never seen you light up as much as you do when you are with those two, don’t lose it,”Sara said and Jane nodded in agreement, Ruby decided that she has had enough and just walked

Liam really wanted to hug her, he missed her so much these past few days both her and Kristen, Kristen was doing fine, he hasn’t been able to reach Luca much except through mail and it was still hard to get through, he reassured her that she was fine, it had been good news when he had woken up this morning to the email from Luca stating that they have finally tracked Sloan down, the crazy psycho was in Rome but it had taken longer than he had anticipated for them to book him, once he is arrested, he already knew they might be another unrest but he knew it won’t be so bad what’s with a lot it people helping out here.Sloan lost, and the good part is, he never saw where it was coming from, like his men had said, he had too many friends turned enemies that it was hard for him to figure out where his problem was coming from, which worked in Liam’s favor.“You should get ready, I spoke with a few of the people here and some wanna go back home to their people, the ones who have been here lo

By the end of the day, the first batch of people who were to leave, most of which were the new moms and their babies and also Annabelle and her kids were all ready, all he needed was for Luca to call that Sloan has been arrested and for the helicopter to arrive, thinking back to the day he first came here thinking that he was here to nab drug dealers and just what he had done to know when he arrived, he was thankful for a whole lot of things, many sad things happened in his life for the past couple of years but if everything happened just so he could rescue these people then, everything happens for a reason and he was glad he was able to pull this off.“I can’t believe this is finally happening,”Lewis said coming to sit next to him, they were in Lewis' office, as he sat Nathan, Reuben, and Kris walked in, he got used to the men and hoped they would keep their relationship after they leave here.“I know right, it is all possible because of this man here, you did well Liam,”Kris said

“Is it true what my wife was screaming about last night?”Luca asked him as soon as he got to work the next day, it was still hard for him to believe that he was getting married on Wednesday.“Yes, she decided we should be married before our baby is born, and managed to get every one of the ladies on her side so I have to be married by Wednesday which is five days, wait, make that four days away,”He said and Luca started laughing at him.“What’s so funny Luca?”He asked.“You sound like they are forcing you to get married,”He said still laughing, force? No way! He was happy, beyond happy that Ruby wanted to marry him but he was just a little bit scared that she might change her mind, she was pregnant and if she adds the wedding stress to it, she might back out and he didn’t want that.“Are you feeling like it is forced? You are frowning Liam, you want to marry her right?”Luca asked as if that was even a question.“Of course, why would you ask that, you know just how much I love tha

Liam didn’t think he heard her right, maybe he had a little too much cake to eat at Nathan’s and Emily’s wedding, he knew he shouldn’t have eaten so much but it was so sweet.“You want to marry me right?”Ruby asked again and he finally came back to his senses.“Of course, I gave you a ring, remember? I want to marry you,”He answered and she smiled brightly.“Then let’s get married, I don’t want a big wedding like that of Emily and Nat,”She said and he just stared at her“Wait, what? You want us to get married this week? Ruby? You are almost due and might give birth before the week runs out, she can barely do anything and you want to be married? Are you sure you are alright my lady?”“What are you saying? We still have two weeks, do you know how to count? Let’s get married before I give birth, I am calling you and your siblings right now,”She said picking up her phone and tapping fast on it, her phone soon rang and he knew just who was calling and it turned out to be that person wh

“Honey? Will you hurry up? We are going to be late and I want to be the one to catch Emily’s bouquet, we don’t go on time I might not get that chance,”Ruby yelled to Liam who was still getting ready, he was one of Nathan’s best men but that didn’t mean he should take all the day dressing, it’s been almost a month since after her divorce with Richard had been finalized and life had been all shades of fun since then, today they were all going to gather to witness Emily and Nathan say I do and she was so excited and really wanted to catch the bouquet even though she was already engaged.“Wait, you wanna catch a bouquet? How are you going to do it with the way you look right now?”He asked, mocking her, she looked so huge now she wondered how she was still able to move freely, she was eight months and two weeks pregnant, just two more weeks and she would meet her baby, okay, maybe three if the baby decides to delay.“I will, don’t get in my way,”She insisted.“I won’t have to baby, Kell

After speaking with Liam, and clarifying everything, everything was back okay again, the very next day, Sam filed the lawsuit and they got a hearing date, she didn’t need to show up in court, that was the best part of it, Sam said she would handle it and everything was discussed between Sam and Richard’s lawyer, she didn’t even need to meet Richard again, he called her and she told him off and blocked his number, she didn’t want his negative vibes, he had her before and lost her himself, which she was grateful for because if he had not ended things with her then she won’t have gone to Cacko and if she hadn’t gone to the island, she won’t have found Liam and Kristen and she would not have the life she had now.Only after a few days after filing for the suit, Sam called her that she had a huge chance of winning and it did happen because when he called her again, it was to tell her that the court has ordered Richard to sign the paper, she was so happy, but she hadn’t told Liam about it,

“Sam?”“Yes, he is my lawyer, I spoke to him and he suggested I go talk to Richard, I did that today but Richard is so selfish he doesn’t want to sign so I am going with Sam’s first suggestion which is to file for a lawsuit,”She informed.“Well, in that case, Sam is one of my favorite people now too,”He said and she laughed.“Oh, I missed us so much,”“Me too, I miss Kristen too,”She said in a sad voice.“We can go see her, she is enjoying her time with her grandparents, it’s just them as none of my siblings are at the mansion, mom called earlier and Kristen was having a fun time in the background,”He revealed and she cheered up.“That sounds so cool,”“Yeah, we can go over to see her if you want, mom won’t let me take her away until the one week I promised she would spend there is up, we can go be with her too, I know mom will want to see you too,”He said and she frowned in sadness again.“What is making you frown this time woman,”He asked pulling her face to his.“Talk to me,

“Why would you think I am angry at you?”Liam asked not understanding how that even happened, he couldn’t deny that he had pretty much been avoiding talking to her for the past couple of days but that had nothing to do with him being mad at her and everything to do with him giving her space, he didn't want to crowd her with everything going on.“I thought you were, you didn’t talk much to me, you haven’t hugged or kissed me for days, you haven’t told me you love me either, and I haven’t seen you for days, I thought you were not here,”She said and he felt like hell, he went up to her and kissed her.“I was here all along, saw you every time you left the room, I thought you knew I was home too and you just didn’t want to talk to me, I am not angry at you Ruby, believe me, I acted like a selfish idiot that day and felt bad about it immediately, I wanted to talk to you and say sorry but you didn’t want to talk to me,”“I shouldn’t have locked you out that night, I thought you would say s
