She knew she had to stop him or things might get awkward between them but she couldn't pull away even though that's what her common sense told her, her stupid heart refused to follow through and he got so close that their nose was almost touching."Ruby,"He whispered, she could feel his breath against her lips, stop him, she thought but she didn't follow through, just stood there waiting for the moment their lips will collide, her heartbeat increasing with every moment, just when she thought it would happen, Kristen yelled, breaking them both apart in extent, Liam walked back staring at her, they stood in silence for, Kristen yelled again and Ruby turned her attention to her, she started crying more."Liam don't stand there come over here and hold her while I make her formula,"She said to Liam who was still standing in silence."Liam?!"She called again."Sorry, what did you say?""Come and hold your daughter so that I can make her food,"She repeated walking up to him and giving he

"Doc? Doctor!!"Ruby heard waking up from sleep, she rubbed her eyes to push sleep off, and saw Sara standing in front of her with panic written over her face, Ruby got up immediately, she didn't know when she had fallen asleep, she was only going to rest her head but ended up sleeping off."What Sara? Is Annette okay?"She asked picking up her coat."No, she is losing too much blood and it is worrying,""Oh my God, I thought she wasn't bleeding anymore,"She said as they both walked hurriedly out of her office towards the labor ward where Annette was, she had opted not to move her in case there is an emergency, now she was glad she did, she opened the door and rushed to her bedside, she looked so strength-less."Annette are you okay?""No,"That was all the woman said."Sara, get a PCV test done,"She instructed checking her vitals."I already sent the blood over and it will be here soon,"Sara responded."Okay, did you tell them to do a cross-match just in case she needs to be trans

Ruby waited patiently for Richard to take his call, she was going to give him a piece of her mind and made sure he knows that she wasn't going to let him take what belongs to her, not anymore, he has done a lot of damage already and she wasn't going to let him do anything to her again."Hello?""Richard, it's Ruby,"She said trying to control her anger, there was no use letting him get to her."Oh, Ruby, I am guessing you saw the letter from the court already,"He asked laughing, she wanted to go over to where he was and wipe those laughter off his face, but unfortunately, she was far away in Cacko."I didn't see the letter per se, I got a call from my lawyer, I am not in the city,""Ahha, okay then, all you have to do is tell your lawyer to hand the papers over and we will be done for good,"The stupid man said and Ruby felt her control slowly slipping away, he was talking nonsense so comfortably."You must be crazy, no skip that, I know you are crazy,""What do you mean by that Ruby

Liam sat staring at the screen of his laptop, no matter how he searched there was nowhere it was written, how the fuck does the internet not have a good document of how this fucked up island came into existence, he had been in it for over two hours, yes the name was there and there were some information about it but no one knew how it came about, not even the smallest of details about the founding fathers, there has to be someone who first came to the place and also when it started, the articles he saw dated back twenty years ago, and that was the oldest, he couldn't conclude based off that the island didn't exist until twenty years ago, he just have to look further, if only he was in the city, he would have gone to a library where history books are kept, there has to be something somewhere, he gave up on looking after checking for few more minutes, he went to his room where Kristen was laid sleeping, the little had cried earlier and after he fed her she played for a while before she

Ruby hurriedly walked to the hospital, without waiting for Liam, there was no much time to do that, she should have thought of Annette trying to leave, but it never occurred to her, she couldn't be on her own, she would die and the baby might die too, they both can't survive for long, she just hoped they will find them before it is too late."Doc, you are here,""Yes, Lewis what happened here?""The nurse in charge of her step out for a while and she disappeared, with the baby, it all happened so fast, and we have been trying to find her,"He revealed."How is that possible? How did she get by the reception without getting noticed?"Ruby asked, because she has to go through the section to get her baby, and someone would have noticed her because the baby ward was off-limits to no staff, except they are in to see their baby and it is always with the guide of a nurse."She requested for her baby to be brought to her, we couldn't deny her that since she had the right to see her child, I d

"God, this is messed up,"She thought closing her eyes for a second to contain her emotions because they were flying everywhere, she walked to the entrance of the hospital where she met the others, they all looked so worried she couldn't even blame them because she knew they were doing their best, yes they were trained to work under distress but this was a little overboard, this went beyond what they were trained for."I just hope they are found,"Sara said."They will,"She responded even though she could only hope.About twenty minutes later, her phone rang again, she quickly picked it up, it was Liam's number but it was Lewis that picked it up, she didn't even know he wasn't in the hospital."We found her,""Oh my God, for real? How is she?""Not so fine doc, but the baby is okay for now, we will be there shortly,""Thank God, thank you so much Lewis, and Liam too, oh God, thank you,"She said collapsing on the ground, her mind at peace, she stood up almost immediately"They found

“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?

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

“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
