“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
Ruby’s head was filled with crazy thoughts, would she ever truly be happy, or was the universe really against her? Why was it that when she was at her happiest, something bad always happens to ruin her happiness, she couldn’t blame Liam for being angry at her, he has been so understanding so she understand now why he was upset, she just wished this will go away quickly, she wanted the happiness she had with Liam back, she couldn’t help the tears that came down her eyes, she had been so happy earlier today only for her happiness to be shortlisted.Now Liam wasn’t talking to her, more like she didn’t want them to talk, she was scared that he would misunderstand her more and things will get out of hand for real, she didn’t want them to end up apart.She cried herself to sleep, not as she slept much with so much going on in her head.The next morning, she woke up with an ache in her head and her heart, there was no single happy cell in her, she couldn’t even deny the sadness that got her
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
“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
“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,
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,
