“Take a guess as to why I am calling you man, you are right, we are not friends and there are two kinds of people on earth fuu oh f me, the people on my side and the people who are my enemies, you are not my friend so you know where that leaves you right?”He said with an evil laugh followed by a deep cough, was he sick? He sounded like he was sick.“Where are you hiding Sloan? Don’t be such a chicken and come out,”He urged.“I like to hide and seek you know, so try to guess where you can find me, just heads up, I am very good at hiding, it is what I know how to do best,”Sloan responded.“You are good at hiding but you know who is good at finding Sloan? Me, I will find you so you better hide well,”Liam fired at him but the idiot was laughing over the phone.“You don’t have to find me when I intend to come to you, guess why I got out in the first place, I told you that I am coming for you right? Well, expect me in the worst way possible, best not to keep your eyes closed because I m
“Baby, I am sorry I took so long, there was a situation, I fight know I will take this long, I should have called, but I didn’t, I am sorry,”He apologized but she glared at him, she was mad at him and he couldn’t blame her. He hadn't even started work properly and he was already making up excuses, maybe he should rethink his decision of going back to work because he didn’t want to keep late nights and disappoint her.“Why did you not at least reply to my text? Please don’t ignore me like that again okay?”She said cheering up.“I am sorry,”“Don’t apologize, just do better next time, what’s with your face? You seem to have had a rough day? What happened?”She asked, finally hugging him. He hugged her closer and just inhaled her sweet smell. He didn’t know if he should tell her what was going on as he didn’t want her to be worried.“Just the usual, I am tired because I had to go to various places today but I am fine,”He resp deciding not to tell her just yet, she didn’t need to be bo
“She choose violence this morning,”Ruby said as she tried to get her baby to calm down but Kristen wasn’t in a good mood, probably because she is teething, she has been annoyed since early morning as early as four am she was up and she hasn’t let her rest.“Calm down little missy, you are gonna get in trouble if you keep acting this way,”She said but Kris wasn’t having it and was hellbent on making sure everyone knew she was uncomfortable.“Baby, stop doing that,”Her dad said finally joining them, he was getting ready for work, he stopped by her to give her a kiss and also kissed the angry baby too, apparently she didn’t want to be kissed because she pulled hard on his hair Ruby felt pity for the poor man who had to struggle to free his hair from their daughter.“Wow, is that okay? She looks like she is out for blood,”Liam said, rubbing his head.“I already have her a syrup, she will be fine, it’s nothing to worry about,”She explained, she was used to teething kids and some of th
Ruby sensed someone following her, she couldn’t be sure but she just felt like someone was following her, the red SUV behind her has been on her tail for more than twenty minutes now, She just drove past her route to confirm and the car was still following her, she told herself not to panic but she couldn’t help it. Who was following her and what does the person even want from her? She turned around to look at Kristen who was sleeping in the baby seat.“Stop following me,”She said increasing her speed a little, but the car behind her did too, she didn’t know what else to do, she had gone to see Liam’s parents earlier with Kristen, Liam had wanted to come to pick them up but she had told him that he didn’t need to, Liam had been a lot busy for the past week, he had a lot on his plate and she didn’t want to add to it, he said it is not a burden but every night, she could tell he gets more worried, Sloan has still not been found, she hasn’t asked him any questions about it but she knew
Liam called Ruby’s number for the tenth time but she still wasn’t taking her calls, he was worried at this point, it was almost seven pm and she should be back already, she had left his parent's house in the afternoon and no matter the traffic, she should be back or at least take her calls.He had seen her calls earlier and had returned them but she didn’t take her call and he just assumed that she left it in the bedroom like she usually does only for him to get home and she wasn’t there, he got off work early today just to be with the both of them since he has been so busy lately that he barely gave them time, he felt guilty even though she didn’t complain.“Pick the phone please Ruby,”He said, paving up and down in the living room, he ditch want to think about the worst, but the more she didn’t take her calls, the more his mind kept reading crazy meaning to her not being here, he didn’t want to think about such things.After waiting for another one hour and she still didn’t turn up
“Liam? We need to go home, we can’t stay here all night, let’s go home and we can talk about this,”Luca said, coming to stand by his side, what would he go home to do? He couldn’t go back to his house knowing that Ruby and Kristen were not there, all he could think about was he could have done better, he didn’t think Sloan would strike like this, he had underestimated him and now both Ruby, their unborn child and Kristen will suffer the consequences of his negligence, this was bad, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t get it off his head, he knew who it was, but how would he find Sloan? Someone they have spent almost going to two weeks searching for, Sloan did say he will find him when he was ready but Liam hadn’t thought it would be like this.“I can’t go back to that house Luca, not until I find Ruby and my daughter, I can’t,”He said when Luca tried to lead him back to the car.“You can’t find them if you stay here all night, let’s go home, even if it is not to your
Ruby woke up in a dark room, it took a while for her to be able to wake up properly, when she did open her eyes, it was so dark it was as if she has gone blind, or maybe she has because she didn’t have a glasses on and it sometimes happened like that, she couldn’t remember what happened but he whole body ached, she tried getting up and realized that her hands were tied, trying to free herself was not even an option because she didn’t even have the strength to do it.“Where am I?She whispered trying to figure out what happened, the last thing she could remember was,Oh God no, please not,”She cried trying harder to free herself, this has to be a dream, please let it be a dream, she silently prayed but the more she pulled at what was used to tie her hands the more this didn’t feel like a dream anymore and slowly she started to remember what happened, the man in the other car and parked in front of her and got her, she had tried to struggle and got hit, and then he had pulled her to hi
When Ruby woke up again, she saw a woman in the room and she was tending to Kristen, she quickly got up in fear, she didn’t know who the woman was and how she got in there.“Who are you? Please leave my daughter alone, please don’t harm her, she has done nothing wrong,”She pleaded.“You are awake, I am not trying to harm her, I will never harm a child, I have children of my own and won’t do anything to another woman’s child,”The lady responded, she didn’t look like a bad person but Ruby couldn’t be sure. She went over to her and took Kris from her and made sure to inspect her. Kris didn’t look like she was in any danger, she looked better than earlier and even had a change of clothes.“Did you bathe her?”She asked wondering who the woman was and why she was here in the first place.“Yes I did, and even fed her too, she looked hungry and was almost going to cry when I came in, plus you were just laying there,”She pointed out, Ruby hated that she couldn’t control herself and not fal
