“He must really love you a lot to agree to this so fast,”Sloan said as he walked into the room and grabbed his usual chair, Ruby didn’t know what he meant but she hoped Liam wasn’t going to do anything crazy for her, she won’t be able to live with herself.“What do you mean by that?”She asked, hoping that what he requested was just money and nothing out of the ordinary.“You will find out once you are out of here, I won’t say a word, I don’t give spoilers, anyway, it is going to be a good day today,”He said, he seemed so happy and it made Ruby worried, it has been over two days now since she was here, at least that’s how much she has counted, she wasn’t really sure, so far, Sloan has not done anything out of the ordinary, he was barely even here, the only person that comes in and out was the woman Ruby had come to know as Shane and from gathering from how the lady acted, she seemed to be abnormal, she talks about her children all day but the fact that she doesn’t even have any chil

“Time to go,”Sloan said as he reentered the room, he looked happy and was even smiling, which left her wondering about just what he wanted Liam to do for him.“Where is my daughter?”She asked and Sloan started laughing.“You should be more concern for your life and that of your unborn child and here you are being concerned about a child you don’t even know and didn’t birth, she shouldn’t be on your list of things to be concerned about right now,”Sloan said as he pulled her up to her feet.“She is my daughter, she is mine, where did you take her to? What did you do to her?”She asked struggling.“What did I say about struggling too much? Do you want to die here?”He asked and she was so tempted to just struggle so that the bomb will go off and the two of them can die together, that way Liam will be free, if it was just her, she would have done it but she had to think about her unborn child, she deserves to leave, and Kristen too, she might still be in the building, she deserves to l

Liam couldn’t hide his fear, he was scared of what Sloan would do to Ruby, he knew this would happen, at first, everything had been going on perfectly well, it took them about ten hours to organize everything and make Sloan believe that he was indeed making a public confession when in actual fact they just in a conference room with him saying anything and everything that came to his head, he didn’t know how they did it because he wasn’t a tech person but what Sloan had seen was a confession of him but that wasn’t what really happened.It had looked easy and Sloan had believed, he had been able to get Kristen thankfully, from the lady who had her, she was arrested and that’s when everything turned upside down, one minute he was waiting for Sloan to give back Ruby and the whole thing will end and the next minute, Sloan found out they played him and he wasn’t having it anymore, his last words made him scared that as they drove towards the location that w in the tracker, his heart was bea

“I love you so much Ruby, so much more than you can ever imagine, I don’t want a life without you in it, I can’t deal with it,”He confessed and kissed her mouth shut when she tried to protest and push him away, he held her close, not breaking from the kiss, he trusted Luca, he trusted every one of the men out there, he trusted fate to not let them both die like this, he counted the final on was minute in his head, his heartbeat increased in the last few seconds but he never broke off from the kiss, neither did he let her go, slowly, the seconds overlapped, he waited, kissing her as he counted to another one minute after the bomb was supposed to go off, he pulled off after that and it was dead, he picked up his earpiece and placed it on and held Luca calling out his name.“We are still here,”He whispered as tears gathered in his eyes, they made it, he knew Luca would not let anything happen to him, knew they still had much time to live and fate wasn’t going to let them lose like that

Ruby woke up with a startle, she looked around trying to remember where she was, she had no idea, even trying to adjust to the deal room was bad, she had a dream and Liam had come to save her, it felt so real, but she guessed it might not be the case, she closed her eyes again as tears welled up in them, she was still here, she was still in her little prison, she wanted to be free“Ruby? Baby? You are awake? Why are you crying, my love? Don’t cry, you are safe now, no one is going to hurt you again, I promise you,”She heard Liam’s voice and she started crying, even more, she was still dreaming, this had to be a dream.“Ruby? You are scaring me, what is going on? Do I need to go get the doctor? Are you okay? Is our baby okay?”Liam asked again, she opened her eyes and he was there, she closed them again, she was dreaming, she just knew it.“Ruby, please say something,”He said pulling her up and shaking her.“This is a dream,”“No, it is not, get yourself together woman! It’s not a dr

“You are going to get in trouble if you keep doing that my darling Kristen,”Ruby scolded her daughter who booed at her and continued what she was doing, they were at her old house because she wanted to pack up her personal stuff as she has decided to put the house up for sale, it was not like she still needed the house so there was no point in keeping it.It’s been over a month since the incident with Sloan had happened and she could say she has healed now from her experience even though the smell of gasoline still made her scared, she was doing fine and was still seeing a therapist, her tummy was now really huge, okay not to exaggerate, she was seven months and a few days pregnant so, yeah, she was huge like a seven months pregnant woman will be but she was still able to do things herself.“Kristen sit down young lady,”She scolded her daughter who recently learned how to walk and won’t sit still.“I am going to tell your daddy when he gets here that you have been a bad girl,”She t

“What’s going on here?”Liam asked looking from Ruby to the man whom he knew was her ex-husband, he didn’t like that the man was here at Ruby’s place, he didn’t even know they were in contact and the atmosphere looked tense too, he wondered what they were talking about when he walked in, not that he didn’t trust Ruby but he did feel a little jealous when he saw him here.“Aha, it is you? The one who has been sleeping with a married woman and even got her pregnant? Wow,”Liam didn’t need to speak to the man so he let whatever he was saying slide.“Ruby? What’s going on?”He asked her, she bit her lips as if she was holding back tears, God if this man did anything that made her cry, he was going to forget his manners and beat shits out of him, he didn’t like him at all, how Ruby was able to be with someone like him and even married him was beyond him but it wasn’t in his place to judge because he hadn’t been there.“You don’t hear what I say right? You have been sleeping with my wife! O

“So what is he saying now? That you are still married to him? That doesn’t make any sense if you guys have been living apart for more than a year now, I should have beaten him up better,”Liam said as he felt his anger rise again, bold of that stupid man to come here and make his woman sad, God helps him if he sees him again.“Liam, let’s not talk like that just yet, I am still trying to come to terms with this, beating Richard up isn’t going to do anything, especially not when he didn’t do anything,”She said and he couldn’t believe she was defending him.“Wait? Are you defending him right now? I don’t understand,”“I wasn’t defending him, I am just saying you don’t have to start punching people everywhere because of me,”She responded.“Wow, that sounds like you are defending him, did you by any chance hear what he was saying? Sorry if you think trying to get people to respect you is me being violent,”“That’s not what I am saying, all I am saying is that you don’t need to beat up p

“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

She spent the next couple of days on her own, mostly in her room, the house was quiet most of the time except when the cleaners come to clean or when the cooks were around but as soon as they leave the whole place was so calm and quiet, the loneliness was heartbreaking, today she was finally meeting with Richard, she got up early and took her bath and ate breakfast, not like she had much appetite these days, she only ate just so her baby will be fine.Ruby drove to where Richard had agreed for them to meet up, if this doesn’t go as planned then she would just leave it to Sam to handle it, no way was she going to let Richard ride off her, she wasn’t a push over and he couldn’t hold her to a marriage that she didn’t want.“Richard,”She said in greeting as she struggled to sit down as the chair was relatively small and tight.“I never knew I would see you like this, with a big tummy, wow, maybe we needed to be apart for it to happen,”Richard said. he was shameless but she wasn’t about
