A Mission To Happily Ever After 29
Ruby was becoming impatient, they have been talking for over one hour now, she didn't want to be rude and walk in on them but the more she sat here the more inpatient she becomes and the more scared she is, in the past one hour plus, she has made sure baby Kristen is fed and the little one was currently sleeping, she has gained a lot of baby weight and was looking very healthy, she also checked on Annette's son and he was doing fine too, thankfully nothing bad happened to him, now she sat in her office and there was nothing she could do than to wait for Liam to be done."Taking forever,"She muttered to herself as she got off her seat, she couldn't just sit here and wait forever, she checked on Kristen before she went to the door, she opened it and found Liam standing there."Oh, Liam, you guys are done?"She asked as she walked back in with him following her, he didn't say a word just sat down with a long face."What's going on Liam? What did she tell you?"She asked worried, the exp

Liam followed behind Ruby as she ran towards God knows where, he wanted to tell her to just call the guy in question but she had been out before he could get the words out, she stopped at the reception breathing heavily while the confused nurse stared out her as she tried to calm herself down and get the words out, he saw just how much she was struggling and walked up to her, holding her hands."Ruby, calm down, you can talk when you are calm,"He said but she removed her hand from his and turned to the nurse again, the nurse had a worried look and was eagerly waiting for what she had to say, the senior nurse Sara walked in, at that moment and looked at them all."What's going on here? Doc? Are you okay?"She asked in a worried tone."I am not, Nathan,"Ruby said breathlessly."What about Nathan? Is he coming back here?""No, have we heard from Nathan since he left?"She let out, her voice finally back."Nathan? Yes, why?"Sara said and Liam let out a breath that he didn't even know h

"Trade, Luca, trade but it's not the kind of trade that we thought it was but this is worst,""How Liam? Go straight to the point will you?""They are trading humans, not just any humans, women and children,"He revealed going into details and telling him everything Annette had told him not leaving out a single detail and even adding some fitting to make it more of an emergency."That's the more reason for you to get out of there, I will send a plane over to meet you at the shore when the ferry arrived, there is supposed to be a ferry ride tomorrow right? Please come back home and we can talk about what we can do for them,"Luca said when Liam was done talking, it pissed him off, he was so close to losing his cool, Luca wasn't seeing anything he was saying, he was disregarding his words which were both disrespectful and annoying."Luca, I didn't call you because I want to come home, I called you to confirm some claims, and the next thing you think of is for me to come home? Did you ev

Ruby sat in Annette's ward, she couldn't risk leaving her on her own, she had instructed the others to call her if anything else needed her attention and was currently watching the woman sleep, she was so tired and needed to sleep too but she knew she would not get that sleep anytime soon, not when the chances of her leaving again were high, Liam was still not back and she wondered what's keeping him for so long, would his brother-in-law want him back, she hoped not, she didn't want him to leave and he already promised her that he won't leave them here but what if he doesn't have a choice, his job was totally different from hers so maybe there were rules that might make his staying here impossible, she wished he would just come back already and put her mind at ease.Annette was currently sleeping peacefully and Ruby wished she could fall asleep too but she had too much on her mind and she couldn't risk falling asleep either, at least not until Liam returns, Annette hadn't said a word

"My brother? He said he will make an inquiry and get back to me,"He disclosed."So does that mean it's okay for you to stay here with us?""Yes, it is and he is going to help, I think by the next ferry ride he might send someone else to join me, I don't know what he will choose to do yet until I talk to him again,"He explained. Ruby was already relieved by the fact that his brother was letting him stay."You look, tired lady, when last did you sleep?"Liam asked her touching her forehead, his hands were cold, and she closed her eyes for a moment, enjoying the feel of his hand, when she opened them again he was frowning at her."What?"She mouthed."You have a fever, you are not taking care of yourself, and that's not okay, you have to look out for yourself too Ruby, ain't no way a sick person gonna be able to attend to work properly, you should keep that in mind and take care of your health,"He scolded."Wow, calm down, no need for the lecture, it's not like I am not taking care of

One moment she was in Liam's arms having a great time and the next she was running to Annette's ward, hoping that she will be fine, she hurriedly opened the door, met Sara and trying to talk to her, she quickly put on a glove, and stepped in, she wasn't looking good at all, she checked her pulse, it was almost unresponsive, her heart rate on the monitor was not doing great either."What happened here?""She is refusing to take anything, and is not telling us what's going on, her heart rate is not even, it keeps going up and coming down, I think she is going to go into a shock, can you help?"She didn't wait to be told twice, she step closer to her."Annette, what happened?""Not you doc, I don't have much time, I want to speak to the man, please, please,"She said, at first Ruby didn't understand what she said but when she turned, her eyes met with Liam and she understood but didn't think it was right for her to let her talk to him now, they have to make sure she was okay first, that

Liam ran behind her, he should have thought of the kid's ward too, but he had forgotten in all the haste, he just hope they were all gone, at least ten children were in there and they made a big mistake leaving them there and the children ward was too far from the Ward where Annette had been, he still couldn't believe that she was no more, he felt like he failed her, he failed her, failed to give her freedom and now she was dead, but he promised himself that he won't let her just die in vain, he would make sure to catch the people involved in this and bring them to face justice for all their crimes and also, he would make sure her young son gets to be with her family too.Ruby opened the door to the children's ward and he held his breath and walked in behind her, she was breathing heavily as she checked on the children and collapsed on the ground a few moments later, he ran to her and knelt beside her, she was a crying mess, he didn't know the actual number of children in the room so

"Oh God, who is the monster doing something like that? Why children? Why are the mothers letting them? Why did they kill Annette? I have so many questions,"Sara said and the other nodded, they all looked sick."I can't answer all your questions but Liam has some answers, we still don't know the half of it yet, Liam can you answer please?"He said looking at him, he nodded."For now, all we know is that they get these women here somehow, after making them go through hell in a camo, making coming here seem like heaven and then sending them here, then they wait for men who come around to sleep with them with the intentions of getting them pregnant and after which the men leave and the women stay behind to give birth and again after a while they come back and take the children away, which is why some of the moms are no longer with their children, according to her, they take the male children and leave the females with their mom which will also explain why there are abandoned girl childre

One year later…Ruby stared at the pregnancy kits she placed on the restroom table and blinked waiting patiently for it to read, she was counting the seconds until it would be done and as the urine flowed through, she saw the first line and smiled proudly, but she waited for them all to be done and yes, she was pregnant again, exactly a year after she gave birth to her baby son, Kelly was going to be a big brother and Kristen would be a big sister too for the second time.“Welcome to the family,”She whispered to her unborn child as she held her stomach, she quickly disposed of the kits, she had felt weird for days now and had decided to check it and yes, she was carrying.One year in marriage and it felt like a honeymoon every day in her home, Liam was the universe’s gift to her, not just Liam, but his family too, they made her forget her horrible first experience and it was beyond what she could have ever imagined, if someone had told her back when Richard had broke her heart that s

Ruby smiled happily as she walked down the garden towards the man she loves and would love forever, they had invited everyone they know to their garden wedding, everyone from the medical Team, some of the women from the island especially Annabelle who looked a lot healthier and even has a boyfriend, Elsa, of course, was there and Annette’s older sister brought her son too.The day was already emotional and it wasn’t just because it was her wedding day but it felt like a reunion to all the people who played a part in getting her here today, she wished she had family members in attendance too but you can’t always get everything, she had a new family now and she knew they love her and would do everything to make her happy.“You are so beautiful,”She heard her colleagues cheer as she walked past them and smiled hard, this was it, she was walking down the aisle to her forever, the first time she had done this, she had been sure but now, she was even more sure, she knew this was it, her li

“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
