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

“Ruby?”He called when he walked into her office, but she wasn’t there.“I thought Jane said she was here, maybe she left, I got to go find her,”He said turning to leave.“I am here,”She said, popping up from under the table, he stared at her in disbelief.“What are you doing under the table woman?”He asked amused at how cute she looked without her glasses on, he has grown so used to her wearing glasses that it kind of felt odd in a cute way.“Looking for my contact lenses, I was going to put them on but they fell and now I can’t find them and I am about to go blind,”She explained, he laughed at her exaggerating the whole thing.“Let me help,”He said forgetting why he was here for a moment and helping her look for it, he found it in no time and got up to see her wearing her glasses.“Why didn’t you just wear the glasses?”“Because it broke moron,”She said showing it to him.“Sorry, here you go,”He said giving her the contact and watching her put it on, he finally remembered why

“Doctor? Good day,”Ruby heard Anna’s voice and turned around, she hadn’t heard her coming, the woman looked better than she had been when they had first met a few weeks ago, it was a big transformation and she looked younger, Ruby smiled and returned her greeting.“Hi, Anna,”“I wanted to thank you before I leave, I don’t know, I said a lot of things about you without knowing you and I am sorry about that, I have no excuse,”She said.“No, it’s fine, there is absolutely nothing to be sorry about, you were being careful and it is totally understandable, I just hope that you can finally put all these behind you and go on with your life, you deserve to be happy,”Ruby responded.“Thank you, as much as I will want to put this behind me, I don’t think I can but I promise that I will have a good life, you guys did a lot to bring us this freedom and I am not going to play around with being free when I know just how being held captive can be, thank you again, for everything,”“Thank you too,

“So what do we do about him, the records are there and he has a hand in it,he and every other doctor involved shouldn’t be allowed to keep working in the field,”She revealed still very disgusted at what she found out, the more she talked about it the angrier she became worse, she knew she should not act on impulse if not she would have called the main head of the hospital and told them what she found out but she knew things like this are better handled with more than enough care.“I will speak to Luca about it, I already told him to look into him before,”He revealed. she didn’t know he talked about him with Luca or maybe he was lying, he didn’t even remember who Dave was earlier.“Are you lying right now?”She couldn’t help asking, he looked at her like he felt betrayed.“Why would you think that I am lying?”He asked in an offended voice.“Well, you didn’t know who he was when I called his name earlier,”She pointed out.“It’s not that I didn’t remember who he was, I just had a pro

Liam was bothered, the island was almost empty, after today, the next plane coming will be here for the medical team but still, Sloan wasn’t yet arrested, and each day that passed without any news of him being arrested made him more anxious, the man was good at hiding and he was seriously doubting now if he was really in Rome like they thought.“Face what’s here stupid,”He whispered to himself, he shouldn’t really be bothered by that but he couldn’t help it, his phone started ringing and he hurriedly brought it out thinking it was Liam but he saw Elsa’s name flashed on his screen, he hadn’t spoken to her in a while and felt guilty for not keeping in contact even after how she helped him.“Elsa dear, how have you been? I am so sorry I haven’t called you,”He said immediately he took the call.“Hey, don’t apologize, I know you have a lot going on, too have been busy with college exam preparation, I just wanted to say Hi and also tell you that you did so well,”She said.“You too Elsa,

“It was nice knowing you too man, you are a hero and I will forever remember what you did and what you are still doing, let’s meet some day for a drink,”Kris said hugging him, Liam smiled and hugged everyone of the guys, they helped in a way they didn’t even know, nothing would have been possible without them.“You know when I first came here, okay, I mean when I returned, I thought you were reaching for the stars when I heard that you were going to arrested a criminal as big as the bad guy, even though I said I will help, it was still far fetched for me, I thought it would be hard to do but you pulled it off so effortlessly, wow, I can’t say anything more than I am so proud and I am glad that I met someone like you, it just shows that the world ain’t that bad and people like you exist,”Nathan said and Liam felt those words.“Thank you, Nathan, thank you everyone, you all worked hard and I hold to see you guys someday too, please be safe out there,”“We will, you too,”They chorused

“So, here is to goodbye right?”Liam asked Ruby, as they stopped in front of where the helicopter that was going to take them back to the city was, she turned to him and nodded.They were leaving first and Liam would go later, she wished there was more she could say but goodbye is what it should be, they met unexpectedly and now it was time for them to go their separate ways and she wasn’t going to do anything to change that, it was better that they part ways like this than, well she didn’t even want to think about it.“Thank you, Liam,”She said after a long pause, she was indeed grateful to him for a lot of things.“Wow, it kind of feels surreal that we are not going to see each other again after today, I don’t know how I am going to get used to being in the same city as the woman I want and not being able to be with her,”He said as he handed her bag over to the person that came to collect it from him.“Liam, I thought we already talked about this? Please don’t do this,”She pleade

The next morning she was up early, it took her a while to remember she was no longer on the island and this was her house, she knew it would be like that for now and she might finally get used to it after a lot of time has past and she wasn’t going to rush it, she felt nauseous and hurriedly got off the bed to throw up, she hated that she was sick on her first day back from the jungle but she already knew that she had passed her limit while she was still there, she would go get prescriptions from the nearby clinic later but for now, she took her bath, brushed her teeth and lay back on the bed.“This feels different,”She said not knowing if she missed waking up and doing her rounds and then making sure to bath and feed Kristen, she missed the child so much.“And her dad too,”The voice in her head whispered.“Nope,”She responded getting off the bed again, she still needed to clean up but she wasn’t ready for that hard work yetAfter taking the drugs, she checked the morning news and

“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
