A few seconds has passed before she heard Adam respond."Amethyst," Adam paused for a second and then resumed talking. "Sorry, but I can't live without Ruby. I already told you yesterday that I don’t love you. So please ...get out of my office. I don't want Ruby to know about this. We're okay now and I don't want you to ruin again our relationship.""But Adam...I love you so much." Amethyst sounded desperate. "Please, choose me… please.""Amethyst, I love Ruby more than anyone else in this world."Ruby sported a smug expression in her face. Go to hell bitch!"Get out of my office, Amethyst!" His voice was calm but firm.""No!""Get out!" Adam stood up from his swivel chair and grabbed Amethyst by the arm to pull her out of the office. But suddenly, Amethyst kissed him.Adam pushed her away but Amethyst kept on kissing him. Adam’s face was full of annoyance, However, Amethyst was clinging to Adam like a leech. Too bad, she won't let her. Adam belongs only to her. No one can share him!
Three months later… RUBY stood up straight as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. After three months, she’s finally going to say “I do”. She is nervous, but at the thought of Adam waiting for her at the altar, her heart is filled with joy."Ruby, come on. We're going to be late," said Sapphire from outside the room.“I’m coming!”Ruby looked at herself in the mirror one more time. She was wearing a very simple yet elegant-looking strapless wedding gown. Adam wants an expensive gown but she refused it. She wanted their wedding to be simple. She didn't want to spend a lot of money just on a wedding. Yes, she will only get married once in her whole life, but her happiness on the wedding day is not measured by how much she spends. For her, all she needed was Adam and her adorable daughter.She took a deep breath, and then she stepped out of the room. When she stepped out of the house, the bridal car was already waiting for her.“You’re already five minutes late,” Sapphir
AFTER their honeymoon in Italy, Adam and Ruby immediately returned to Philippines. They also spent one week without their child. Their child was at the mansion with her grandparents.Upon arriving at the airport, they went straight to Adam's parents' house. But they didn't find their child there."Dad, where is Ava?" Adam's voice was full of concern."Relax, son. Ava is just with your mom. They're at the mall and most likely shopping for clothes and toys.""Tss, I thought she left alone and-""Do you think we would let her leave alone?" His father interjected.Ruby patted her husband on the shoulder. "Calm down, okay? And why are you so worried? Remember, we left her with them for a week, and nothing bad happened.""Sorry, I just missed our child," he replied calmly, turning to his father as well."I'm sorry, dad," Mr. President just nodded and left them in the living room.After almost an hour of waiting, Ava and her grandmother finally arrived.Ava's smile from ear to ear wh
Five years later…Adam's knees are weak and trembling as he sits in the waiting area of the hospital. It's been almost half an hour since his parents were rushed to the ER. They had an accident on their way back from the Philippines after a week-long vacation in Canada."Adam… Ava and I are here beside you, ready to support you. I'm sure mom and dad will be okay," Ruby said, holding his hand from earlier. "Stay strong."He didn't respond. He just kept staring at the ER door, waiting for the doctor who’s in-charge to his parents.More than an hour passed before the doctor emerged. Adam immediately approached the doctor and anxiously asked, "Doc, how's my mom and dad?" his voice trembling.There was no emotion on the doctor's face as he stared sternly at Adam. "Doc, how’s my mom and dad?" he asked the doctor again.The doctor released a deep sigh before responding, "I’m sorry, Mr. Whitlock. We did our best, but your dad didn't make it through the operation," he said sorrowfully.Adam's
"ADAM please... let's talk at some other time. We need to support each other now. Let's respect your mom's remains." She pleaded with her husband. She was grateful that she was able to clearly convey this to Adam. He immediately listened and just sighed in response.Silence enveloped the entire room. Until his mother's body was taken care of and brought back to the mansion, Adam still didn't say a word.Ruby tried several times to talk to her husband, but not a single word escaped his lips. He only paid attention to Ava."Mommy, what happened to grandpa and grandma?" Ava asked sadly, tears streaming down her face as she saw the two coffins side by side."They were taken by Papa Jesus." She answered with a trembling voice."Why is that, mom? They promised me they wouldn't leave me, but why now—""My love, when it's Papa Jesus who decides, all we can do is accept it with an open heart. Don't worry, even though they're no longer here, their love for you will always remain..." R
SINCE Adam found out about his other child, he felt like he was a worthless father. That's why he is still angry and refuses to talk to Ruby. He is angry because she kept it a secret from him for so long. If his parents hadn't passed away, he wouldn't have known about it yet.Despite his love for Ruby, the pain he is experiencing cannot be simply erased. The situation was a significant blow to his ego, particularly during times when he was behaving recklessly.He'd been watching Ruby since earlier. She seems problematic in her seat and anxious. He wants to ask her, but the hardness of his heart still prevails.After a while, she approached him."Adam please...talk to me." Her voice was full of pleading.He just stared at her intently."I know I've committed a huge mistake towards you. But please tell me, what should I do to earn your forgiveness?""Forgiveness? Why should I forgive you? If I forgive you, will my child come back to life?" he finally said."Adam, I thought you
RUBY sat on the edge of the bed in dismay after she heard the conversation between Ava and her father. Ava asked Adam if they could visit his twin's grave. But the child’s request was denied."What should we do, mom? Dad doesn't want us to go to Canada," Ava said with the hint of disappointment in her voice."Then, let's find another way to convince him to go there," Ruby replied.Ava nodded, looking thoughtful.As night came, they still hadn't come up with a new plan. Adam had not returned from the office yet.Ruby was suddenly overcome with worry, so she swiftly took out her phone and tried calling her husband, but he did not answer.So she decided to call Adam’s secretary at ALV. She thought he might be working overtime, especially since he hadn't been able to focus on his company for almost a month. “Hello, good evening, Ma’am Ruby.” A cheerful voice from the other line greeted her."Uhm, sorry to disturb you. I know it's not office hours. Actually, I just wanted to ask
ADAM was jolted awake the next morning as he realized he was in their room. Did I sleep here last night? Did Ruby and I sleep beside Ruby? He massaged his temple, trying hard to remember everything that happened. Gosh! I was in the bar last night!As he was about to leave the room, the door suddenly opened and Ruby entered, wrapped in a towel, clearly fresh from the shower. "Oh, you're awake," she said, now standing by the closet, drying her damp hair.He gulped as he looked at his wife. He really missed her. But he continued to fight that feeling. He wanted to make Ruby feel that he was hurting and that it wouldn't just go away easily.“Why am I here in our room?”Ruby burst into laughter, she crossed her arms and looked directly into his eyes. "So, you don't remember anything? Is that a joke, Adam? You were just drunk last night, not suffering from amnesia.""Tss!" that was his only response, and he had no intention of talking to her further, but she spoke again."We just had
