A Mission To Happily Ever After 38
Ruby sat in her office waiting for Liam to return, there was no point trying to fall asleep because she knew she wasn't going to get any sleep, that's how it will be for now and it wasn't because she wanted it to be that way, so much has happened especially today that broke her resolve, if it weren't for her team and Liam she would have given up, packed up and ran, in fact, she would not have found out in the first place, she wasn't as strong as she had expected she was, little Kristen cried out bringing her out if her thoughts, she walked to where the baby slept and picked her up, the little princess eyes shone, she must have been awake for a while."Hi, baby, your daddy will be back soon,"She said and the little one stared at her, Ruby already shared a special bond with this child, she didn't know how it happened but she fell in love with this precious baby and couldn't help thinking about what might have happened to her mom, why did she drop her off without coming back for her, sh

Ruby laid in Liam's arms, she still couldn't fall asleep, nothing could help her fall asleep, not after the nightmare she witnessed today, it was horrors upon horrors, and the diary Liam found, it will be filled with more horrors and she knew it wasn't going to stop soon, this island was a ticking bomb and it might explode anytime soon"Doc, you need to get some sleep you really need to sleep, you can't keep going like this,""I know, but I can't seem to fall asleep, I just feel like I shouldn't talk asleep,""You have to,""I didn't ask you what your brother said, can we talk about it?""No, we can't, we will do that tomorrow, I told you you need to get some sleep or you might end up getting sick and we can't have that,""I am not sleepy,""Ruby,""The diary, what's inside?"She asked wanting to get it over and done with, she already knew there will be horrible things inside, she just wanted to hear it."I haven't read it in all Ruby but I took photos and sent them to Luca, we will t

"So what are our plans?"Ruby asked after they ate breakfast, she needed to be at the hospital by ten, the only reason she was able to stay here was because the hospital was still safe despite what happened yesterday, they weren't targeting them, at least not yet, she just hope that they will find a way out before that happens, a way to get everyone out of here but the problem is will the women be willing to talk? The ones helping out in the hospital don't say anything except to each other or they want to report a situation, they just still to themselves, even after what happened yesterday, they all acted like it was not a new thing, which was all shade of wrong, she wishes there was a way to get through to them, after Annette, it was safe to assume that most of the women understand English too and they were just pretending not to."For now, we are going to be on the lookout, we can't just take the kids out, nor can we pull anybody out, and we don't have enough evidence yet and there

Liam didn't know where to start from in looking for the woman from the night before but he had to find her somehow, he was damn sure that she knew something that might help, he could have just waited for her to come out again but he didn't know until when she will come out if her hiding again, he already knew people won't speak to him but still he chooses to walk around and ask.He started from the area he had seen her the night before, describing her as much as he could to the people around there but no one had answers for him or maybe they just didn't want to tell him, after over thirty minutes of looking and with no sight of her, he decided to give up, he already thought it would be best to look for her at night since she might be bidding during the day, the people he passed by were already looking at him suspiciously, he didn't want them reporting him to whoever it is that is their head, it was impossible for them not to have a head here, it would be easy for them to get away, he

"What? What daughter?"Luca asked and Liam cut him off on the call while calling him on the video call."What daughter?"Luca asked again as his face flashed on the screen, Liam adjusted the volume before facing him properly."My daughter, I met her two days after I got here, and she is mine now, her mother whoever dropped her off left her for me and she has been with me since,"He explained. Luca had his mouth opened in bewilderment."Don't be so shocked Luca, I couldn't send her away, she is so cute and precious and she was barely a month old,""Wow, just wow, you have a kid with you? How are you going to do shit with a kid?"Luca asked. Liam knew why he was worried, being on the island alone was dangerous enough but having a young child with him made it worst, she could be his weakness, not just her but Ruby too was already his weakness."I know, she is the reason I even got close to the medical team, Ruby and the others are helping with caring for her and I plan on legalizing it o

Ruby got back to the clinic earlier than she had said she would, she couldn't stay back at the house so right after Liam left the house, she took Kristen with her and came to the hospital, as she expected there wasn't much work to do, she only just did her rounds and check up on the women still at the hospital, only a few were left."Where is Kristen's dad?"Sara asked her when she came to the reception."He went looking for the lady from the night before, he will be back soon,"She answered, Sara reached out for Kristen and she gave the baby to her."You guys are seeing each other?"Sara asked shocking Ruby."What?""I mean are you guys dating because it looks like it,""What? How so? We are not,"She replied."It does look like you guys are a couple, I mean you are so comfortable around him don't blame me for thinking you guys are a thing,""We are not, Liam and I are just partners, we barely know each other and again this is not even the place to think about dating, and I for one,

"Wow, Liam, you finally showed up, I thought you weren't going to come here today,"Ruby said when Liam entered her office, she had been expecting him since afternoon but he took forever to show up, she had been close to going to the apartment to look for him but she couldn't leave the hospital for fear of things going wrong while she was away."Sorry, I was going through Annette's diary together with Luca and fell asleep, I am sorry if I kept you waiting,"He apologized."No, it is fine, you needed the sleep, you look much better now that you have slept,""Yeah, thanks, did anything happen while I was away?"Liam asked sitting on the chair opposite her."Not really, but I did speak with the young lady you brought in, she is still recovering, apparently, she came here about two weeks ago as a tourist but had ended up on the wrong side of the island and they had locked her away, she managed to escape only last night and the was when she met you,"Ruby explained but Liam's face showed t

Liam looked up from going through Annette's diary, there wasn't much but her everyday life but he couldn't skip apart because he didn't know when or where the details he needed would present themselves, Ruby was playing with Kristen who woke up about an hour ago, looking at those two, Liam felt like they were his word, he never thought of owning his family but right now with those two ladies, he suddenly felt like he could do anything in the world if he had them with him, but sadly Ruby can never be his, he knew because she made it clear she didn't want anything more from him than the relationship they already have which was strictly business, he respected her choice but that didn't stop him from wanting her in a way he knew that he could never have her."Stop looking at me like that Liam,"Ruby queried, she caught him watching her, he could feel his face heating up."I am not looking at you in any way,""Whatever Mr. Just don't do it, I am not that strong,"She said and he wanted to

“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
