ENSNARED BY HIS STRANGE PROPOSAL 75. Another Life 8
“Father, can't you have pity on me? Can't you see that I am dying?”“What was your plan B when you could not obey your husband and keep the family secret. For your information, you have been subpoenaed for treason by King Raphael Churchill VII. You are lucky that he is not as rigid as his father. You would have ended up in jail, and my kingdom would have been wiped away.”“Subpoenaed by the King?” She exclaimed, and her mother, who had been silent, spoke, “Are you just hearing it. You have to appear in court and defend yourself.”“Mother, you have to help me. I'm dying, and I have learned my mistakes.”“Go and settle with the King and your husband. You will expose my kingdom to the wrath of King Churchill VII if he knows that I am harboring you,” her father thundered. Nevertheless, she had no choice than to leave.Meanwhile, they were not aware that the King had let go of the summons, and she was on the run. She resolved to take refuge in Nassau, the only country that could come to he

“Thank you for the compliment, Stanley. You are a better player. You will teach me how to play like you.”“I love that. I will do that with all pleasure," Stanley assured. Now, on Johnny the Casanova’s side, he felt that he had known Ruby for two long to still keep her.‘Twenty four hours is too long to still hang around her without getting physical. This night is the night and by tomorrow morning, it would have been over,' he analyzed. He sat on his car bonnet while Ruby leaned beside him. Then, he called out while holding her left hand, "Ruby, dear.”She looked at him in the eyes, and answered, "Yes, Johnny. How may I help you?”Now, he smiled seductively and hinted, "I have surprises for you, Ruby.”“Wow! I love surprises. Let me hear it.”“One of them is that I love you.”Now, Ruby looked down, and he had the opportunity to jut out his chin in mockery. Then, he continued to use his romantic terms, which were already a cliché to him, “You remember that I told you yesterday that I w

“Stop crying, Carmine. Our ends shall be great,” Ruby pointed out. Thereafter, she placed her hand on her shoulder and continued, “If you are happy, I will be happy too. You have Stanley, and he would give you the kind of life that you desired.”At this point, Carmine, who had always played the role of a big sister to her, was touched. Then, she elucidated and promised, “How can I be happy and you are not? You loved Johnny so much, and with Stanley's assistance, I can help you to get him to be yours, if you work with me.”Now, Ruby dried her tears and looked at Carmine in wonderment. After a while, she inquired, “What are you trying to say?”“I am confident that he loves you too…”“Love me? What about his numerous girlfriends,” she cut in?Carmine overlooked her fears and pressed on, “Yes, he loves you and if you give him attention, he would turn a new leaf.”Now, Ruby's eye shone at the revelation. She had never thought of fighting for what she wanted, and Carmine’s idea thrilled her

“Good evening, Johnny,” she greeted happily.“Welcome, dear. How was your day?” Johnny asked while relishing her touch.“My day was good. It is only that I miss you. Now that I have seen you, it had become better.”'Am I dreaming?' he wondered, when she repeated the words he told her some time ago. Now, she was rubbing her hands on his chest gently, and Johnny was able to calm down. Even though he was irresolute of how to handle the situation before him, but he felt great at that moment. “I love your fragrance,” Ruby pointed out.“Thanks, dear.”Nevertheless, Ruby had never been that close to him, talk more of being romantic. For no reason, would he allow the opportunity to slip away? As for Ivy, she was a closed chapter for that day. Likewise, he raised his head and gave her a loud peck and responded, “I miss you too, but with you around, I'm better.”They chuckled at their coded jokes. Meanwhile, Ivy was unable to think clearly. She recognized Ruby as the lady Johnny went after wh

“I apologize for not giving you attention, my dear,” he tendered, and took his seat beside her.“Consider it as nothing, dear. Are you through?”“Yes, for today.”“You need to rest.”“You are correct,” he admitted. Now, he held her left hand and squeezed it a bit. She smiled and looked at his handsome face and wished that he is also handsome in character, and giggled. Then she asked, “What is that for?”He smiled too and remarked, “To remind you that I am still waiting for the response to my proposal.”“We are friends already. Aren't we?”“Yes. But I need you to give me your heart. And I promised that I will make you the happiest woman on earth if you do that.”Likewise, they locked eyes and focused on each other for a while before Ruby inquired, “Will you give me yours if I give you mine?”At that point, he was touched by her innocence, for thinking that he had a heart. All the same, he must be himself. He must not love any woman. ‘I hope you are not playing with fire? I don’t even

“Welcome, Isabela and Edwina,” he greeted calmly, and held the door for them to walk in. Nevertheless, they were deceived by his calm demeanor and warm greeting. Then, they responded cheerfully.“Thank you, Johnny.”Then, Isabela attempted to be more romantic by throwing herself at him, but he blocked her with his left hand and she withdrew. She smiled and feigned ignorance of his hostility and declared, “I decided to pay you a surprise visit, dear.”“That is good. Welcome,” he responded with a soft smile. After they walked into the parlor, he shut the door.“You can sit down,” he offered. Now the two ladies were stunned when they saw Ruby on the couch and not in the bedroom. Then, Isabela put herself together on hearing 'you can sit down'. She concluded that he was through with her and that she must be on her way out. Edwina had similar thought – she was not worthy of his bedroom.All the same, they greeted at once, “Hi,” Now, Ruby, who was sitting quietly, smiled and responded, “Hi

He looked at the caller and disclosed, “Princeville Ford,” while looking at Johnny.Now, Johnny stood up from Ruby's thighs in excitement and waited to hear what Princeville, one of their friends, would say.“Hello, Princeville. What's up?” Stanley requested.“Hello, guy. What of the Young CEO?”Now, Stanley looked at Johnny and chuckled, “He is here.”“I see. What is your evening like?”“Nothing much. Where are you?”“We are at the garden.”“We?”“Yes. Francis, Pedro, Gerald. Everyone is here.”“Wow! That is a full house.”“Yes. Are you joining us?”“I will revert soon.”At the end of the call, he looked at Johnny before he looked at Carmine, who had taken her seat beside him.“What, do you think, guy? Do we join them?” Stanley inquired.“If the ladies won't mind, why not?”Now, Johnny gave Ruby a questioning look, and she nodded her head in approval. Then, Johnny looked at the fruit drink and the plate of cookies, which she hardly took and asked.“Will you finish your cookies or wou
