RUBY

"Hello, Austin. Can I join?"

I grunted inwardly at that question. Wyatt already got the ticket, so of course, he would come.

Austin nodded, and I was tempted to coax him to change his mind.

But then I must remind myself I was the one giving approval. Taking it back would need a logical reason, which I couldn't find at the moment.

Wyatt sat on the empty space opposite me and on the other side of my son. He looked at Austin, and somehow, I felt the odd way he did that. He seemed like someone was longing and in pain. Also, I spotted happiness as well as love.

Did he really know?

"Do you like the book?" He started the conversation.

Austin nodded again, this time more enthusiastically. "Yes. I love Superman."

"Do you want to be a Superman?"

My son tilted his head up so the two most beautiful blue eyes I knew met. "Mommy said, as long as I'm being a good boy and good to friends, teachers, and others, I'm a Superman." His eyes blinked twice after he said that, making

    RUBYWyatt insisted to buy me a new dress for the party. It was for us, actually, since he wanted us to come in sync. And us meant Wyatt, Austin, and me.Of course, we would come in full set.Therefore, he drove us to the mall the next afternoon, visiting a well-known boutique.I opened the curtain after I was done looking at reflection. It was the second dress and seemed better on me than the previous one. So I had a confidence to face the people waiting for me outside.Wyatt and Austin.Who else?"What do you think?" I swirled around to give him a better view. Well, it came out automatically as if it was a template whenever I was trying on new clothes.Wyatt was having conversating with our son when I stole his attention. His stare bore into me like scanning me inside out, and he stayed like that for half a minute until Austin beat him to answer my question."You look beautiful, Mommy." And he also showed it through his expression. His clear blue eyes was fixated on me."Yes. You're

    WYATTI hurried my steps out of the elevator as soon as the door opened, taking a right turn and arriving at my office in less than a minute."Dad." I called Dad, brows furrowing in confusion. I clearly didn't expect him to appear in my office, even though he often came to visit. But I had predicted it would be someone else. "I thought Ron mentioned someone else, not you." I glanced at my assistant, who was also present here and not accompanying me in the meeting.I had sent him to my office after he got a report from receptionist that I had a guest. So we decided to meet him and I carried on with the meeting.However, my guest should be..."You mean Alex?" Dad responded, leaning his back on the sofa before looking at me. "We had a pretty interesting discussion. But he's no longer here."Yes. My guest should have been Alex Foster, not Dad. That was why I was surprised to see him here."When you arrived, Dad?" I asked, legs swaying to the sofa across Dad."Before Alex came in."I copie

    RUBYI opened the door to Austin's room only to close it again a minute later. Wyatt and our son were having a fun reading time, and I though it was better for me not interrupting them. Not that I avoided a quality time with the tree of us. I just wanted that time to theirs because I knew a father and a son needed to create their bonds. I had enough, so it was Wyatt's turn.Therefore, I decided to find my own fun by reading a novel we bought together. Well, just remembering that moment already made me chuckle. Boring books. How could Austin come up with the term?Unfortunately, those boring books were my fun. I love reading stories as it felt like pulling me into a new world. Because of that, I often found it refreshing after finishing a book, even though sometimes I would be devastated by their tragedy.And this novel, I hoped, could be a refreshment, although I doubted it. I had read the blurb and it seemed a complipated story.I enjoyed my own company, reading the novel while havin

    TINA"Get out! I'm sick too see your face!" The words roared around the room, jolting me in my place. "Get out!"My eyes rounded in disbelief at what I just heard. My father threw me out as if I was a trash he needed to get rid off as quickly as possible.I felt sting on my eyes. I should have gotten comfort from my family after my attempt to crush Ruby failed. And they should have helped with to orchest a new plan. But they turned me down."Dad." I begged him. I actually had no one to go since Logan threatened my friends not to help me. So my family was the only option left."Don't call me Dad when you don't even perform well as my daughter." Dad clenched his teeth. "You failed me, Tina. Not one time, but many times. And this, what you did is beyond my scoop. You're no longer my daughter anymore." After that, he turned around and left me just like that.I looked at my mother and brother, begging for pardon from them. However, they left me without any words. And what hurt me more was

    RUBYI was shattered.The moment I heard that someone tried to kidnap my son, the guilt was building inside me, forcing the thought to deepest of my heart... that I was a failure. I was not such a competent mother, which led this to happen to Austin.I understood it was no one fault but the kidnapper's fault, not like the last time I lost Austin at the Botanical Garden. It was my fault back then. But this time, it was different. We had put him in the best environment. Still, this incident slipped off. If it wasn't for the bodyguard, we might have lost him."I know that look, and both of us know it won't do good in our situation." Wyatt made a comment as he walked from the bathroom. Water was dripping from his wet hair.I took a deep breath and sighed heavily. "I know. But I can't help it, Wyatt. It comes to my mind out of nowhere and won't stop even if I try to."We stared in silence for a few second before a sigh escaped his lips and he started to stride his way in my direction. Soon

    WYATT"I'm sorry for what happened to your son, boss. I've checked on the school and they have a great review over these years. So I've never thought of this." Ron said when he came to the house a few hours later. "I'm really sorry, Mr Logan."I looked at him then sighed a long breath. "It's not entirely your fault. No one has predicted this to happen to any child." Another sigh before I continued, "Let's move on this part and give me an update."Ron and I were talking on the first floor. Meanwhile, Ruby seemed unable to leave Austin's side. She was in his room."The staff initially admitted that she targeted Austin and planned to kidnap him to get some money. She is in a huge debt, apparently. But..." He paused as if preparing himself--or me--before revealing another information. "... When we threatened her more that Logan will crush her entire family, she finally made a confession. She worked under Tina's order."I gritted my teeth at the surge of emotion rushing inside my body.
