    He turned his light to the other direction and yup, more tiny eyes were directed at him, his mouth dropped open in shock, there were not just four or five kids now the count was about ten if he wasn't mistaken, and they all loved in this cave, as his eyes started adjusting to the place, he got even more shocked."Oh my God, just how many more kids are here?"Liam asked in bewilderment, he couldn't believe his eyes, this was like a den where kids are kept and it was nowhere near a good living place, the place, God it was worst than he had thought initially."Eighteen in total,"She announced and his eyes opened, eighteen? As in Eighteen children."Eighteen kids? And they are all yours?"He asked in disbelief."No, not all, please can we just go and get her treated, she looks like she is going to die, and I don't want her to,"She pleaded. Liam looked at the child who looked malnourished, she was so weak that she could barely stand, the other children in the room were staring at him wit

    Ruby waited for Liam to return, she shouldn't have let him go on his own but the man had been stubborn, she was worried, she wasn't even sure if the young woman really needed help or if she was just playing them, she couldn't trust anyone, not even the women here, not after everything, there were so many reasons for her to be scared that Liam wasn't still back despite the fact that he left more than an hour ago, she didn't expect it to take this long, at most she had expected was thirty minutes but it was almost going to two hours and still no sign of Liam or the woman or the child she claimed was sick, Ruby has since left her office, as she couldn't wait in there anymore."He will be back soon Ruby,"Sara said. She was sitting with Ruby at the reception, the place was quiet as Ruby had told the others to go get some rest that she would call them once Liam returns."I don't know Sara, I am just so scared, there are so many reasons to be worried, I shouldn't have let him go by himself,

    "So, she is like a caregiver to kids thrown away? Why didn't she bring them here? They all look malnourished,"She let out thinking of the kids she had seen earlier, they didn't look like they have hard and good food to eat since forever."She is a caregiver, but I won't know much until I talk to her and I didn't want to stress her more that's why I will wait till tomorrow to talk with her,""You are talking with more and more people, did you get anything from Elsa?"She asked."Yes, photos, I told Luca to run a background check on them and he will get back to me by morning,""I thought he backed out? He is still helping?"She asked confused."I told you he didn't, he is just trying to protect his business since we might be dealing with high ranking personnel in this shit,"He explained."What about you? Don't you have anything to protect? Don't you have anything to lose if all of these blow up?""I don't care, so long as I am able to get justice and free the people here then that wil

    Liam went back to Ruby's office and thankfully she was there with his daughter, first thing he did was to carry her from her and he gave the little one a kiss, she smiled, she was growing up so faster, she was bigger than she had been when he had found her a little over a month ago, it felt like since forever since he knew her."You were talking to her? She refuse to give her name and she wants to pull the kids out of the hospital but I told her she can't except she wants the authorities to take them, I took a few pictures of them just to drive home my point, I don't care whatever she has done for them, I am not going to let her take them away when they are not fine at all,"Ruby said. She looked too serious and he sensed there was more problematic."Ruby, is there something else? You were okay with my explanation last night, what's going on?"He asked, she looked away and he could have sworn that he saw a teardrop, he touched her shoulder."Hey, what's going on?""They are dying Liam

    Ruby walked with her heart in her mouth to the front of the hospital wondering who the men were and why they choose to come to the hospital with guns, whoever they were she was sure they were up to no good, and her heartbeat was faster than she could handle, she didn't want trouble, when she got close to the reception, she heard the sound of things being scattered, her heart jumped in fear, she looked back but Liam wasn't with her le she had expected, she did hear him leave her office so why wasn't he here? She waited a few minutes before deciding to just go by herself, maybe he would come in soon, when she got to the reception, two men were there and they were yelling at Sara who looked scared, Ruby let out a breath before speaking."Excuse me? You can speak to me, I am the one in charge here,"Ruby said staring at the taller looking guy who she felt was the boss among the two of them, she looked at them both from head to toe, they both looked raggy to her, so unkempt and with a gun.

    “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

    “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
