"what with this sudden urge to go with me?" He asked her in a stiff voice as he hauled near her, taking off his glasses which enchanted her more than she already was. "I guess you've forgot that this human inside me majorly belongs to you and you have some responsibilities" her words were quite clear for him which he didn't liked. "I know that but it's not necessary to show off your pregnancy to all the world and declare me as it's father to all the people" his words sounded quite violent. "Great, what's the deal then? I will go with Amber right away and abort him. And even if it can't be aborted I'll get it delivered out of me. Because I won't give birth to such a child who's father is ashamed to accept him in front of the world even before his birth" she stood up, picking up her dress with her hands so she don't fall. He grabbed her by her arm as she was about to away. "Are you for real?" He asked, looking at her closely. She didn't averted her eyes away, because this was the
Soon they returned back to home but it was late at night. Instead of going back to his own room, he came with her inside her room. "Are you following me?" She asked suspiciously. "No I am just going to sleep with you today" he came closer towards her as they both stood in the doorway. "You can imagine what you want, but it's not happening. So go back to your room and let me sleep" she didn't care if he liked it or not, but she didn't wanted to indulge in this relationship anymore. "You know what Ruby...." He moved closer and closer the door behind them. Making her stumble over her steps. "....you also know that you can't resist me" he whispered against her ear, his voice full of seductiveness as his hot breath fanned over her sensitive skin. She couldn't utter a word anymore as if he cast a spell on her. "Don't Mr Dawson" she barely whispered when he nuzzled into her neck and peppered wet kisses on the curve which ended at her shoulder."You sure?" he asked again against her s
Multiple days and a month passed.....Nothing between them changed, rather they became more distant. His all efforts to gain her heart were in vain as she was determined on leaving him after the birth. The doctor scheduled the date of delivery on their recent visit, and she started preparing herself for the next phase. He didn't revealed anything to her, yet tried to take care of her secretly. He instructed Amber to watch over her diet and medications. No doubt he was being selfish, but there was no other way to get out of this situation. He didn't go on anymore dates after his quarrel with Joseph. The thought of marriage faded away, and now his only focus was on the upcoming baby. Although doctor tried to reveal the gender to him but he refused. He was somehow disappointed with himself for making Ruby reach such circumstances, so he didn't wanted to exaggerate his happiness by knowing the gender and ignoring her. He wanted it to be a surprise revealed to them at the same time aft
As soon Amber went inside, she found the bed empty. There was no one to be seen or any sound to be heard. She checked the bathroom in case although she knew that she couldn't walk to bathroom herself. But there was no sign of her. She hurried to the reception to ask the nurse. "Where is the patient? Why the room is empty? In case have you shifted her to somewhere?" She kept on going with questions all at once. "Which patient miss?" The nurse asked her politely. "The one in the labour room who just gave birth to a baby boy, named Ruby!" She told her the details hurriedly. "Oh she was just in the labour room after we dressed her up. We haven't shifted her anywhere" she explained. "But there is no one! The bed is empty. Where is she?" She panicked. "Miss let me check, she was there when we left" the nurse walked in the direction of the labour room with her. She checked herself but the room was still empty. The nurse was froze to cold shivers as she knew it was a critical situati
He sat down on the lonely bench in his garden, under the large banyan tree where once Ruby used to sit. The breeze blew lightly, making his strands of hair move here and there, tickling his forehead. The night was cold, light horn noises of vehicles could be heard from afar. He took a large puff on his cigarette as he looked up in the sterling sky, shining with stars. He didn't named his son yet, he didn't know what to name him, he never thought that it would be a son. The baby laid quietly and slept through the night peacefully in his cot, while Amber laid beside him. What a time it was, for the little child, new born without his mother, but under a shadow of cold hearted father who loved him dearly yet couldn't convey his feelings in a acceptable way. His mother who left him for eternity because she couldn't accept him as her child, after his father committed a sin. His life was going to be a long journey, a desirable face he inherited from Dawson. He still couldn't figure out
Life continued as she started teaching the younger girls at dorm. Sister Amelia hired as a teacher for them and she not only get paid but well enough to live alone. Ruby also started going to church regularly as she said her prayers every day so god would listen to her pleas and reward her with what she desired. It was a casual day, after taking classes in the dorm, she was on her way to the church. It was late evening when the sun was about to go down and let the gleaming moon take over the sky. It had been two months since, she felt a tinge at her heart everytime without her baby whenever it came to her mind. She wanted to see him, hug him and kiss him. She wanted to feel the pleasure of holding her own child in her hands after she gave up on him. She knew he was going to hate her after he'll grow up. He will hate her alot for leaving him so soon. But she had no choice, either to live with his toxic father or give up on him. She had to make a choice, so she did....She was walkin
Sister Amelia arranged an old room for Smith. Ruby accompanied him to the room and asked him for something else he might need. "I'll only need a charger for my phone" he explained. "You better give me your phone to get charge because only sister Amelia has a charger and I think it will not be convenient for her to lend you" she reasoned. He willingly gave his phone to her and get on the bed. She waved good night to him and left the room. She put the phone on charging in sister Amelia's office and went back to her own room after informing Amelia. As soon she laid down on the mattress and turned off the light, she tried to sleep. But the sleep couldn't engulf her in it's depth. After recalling all the pitiful, bitter memories it seemed like everything was freshened again. Her mind started to work speedily as if she was going through some heartbreak again. She missed her parents and most of her child. Her son. Surprising was that, she missed Dawson. The moments they spent together
She woke up to the noise of chirping birds and girls laughter. The dawn broke and sun rays were already trespassing the thick clouds. She immediately sat right up, and then got down from the bed. After giving herself a good cleaning, she was all ready for the breakfast. She got out of the room but before she could have her own breakfast, she realized that she had a guest there too. So she changed her direction and went to his room. Mr Smith was already awake, sitting upright straight in his bed like some real professional business man, working on his phone. "Good morning" she greeted first and stood in the doorway. "Morning, Ruby" he looked up in her direction with a smile. "So you got your phone back?" She commented, noticing that last night she put it in sister Amelia's office. "Yeah, before you, Sister Amelia came here to check up on me. And I only requested her for my phone." He explained. "What about the breakfast? Are you not hungry?" She asked him. "Ofcourse I am, it
"hello Ruby, I just wanted to see. And Simon was also missing his mother." Amber came in and sat beside her. "Can you give him to me?" She asked Amber as her heart overflowed with emotions of holding her baby. Amber gave Simon into her lap. Simon pulled on her white dress as he cooed. She placed kisses on his cheek and forehead. She spend some time with Simon when a female waiter came inside to inform her that it's the time now, everyone is waiting for bride. The words gave her goosebumps and she was finding energy within herself to get up and go with them. She knew she can't step back now, guests were there, Smith was waiting for her but Simon was sitting in her lap which was halting her steps. But before she could say anything, Amber picked up Simon from her lap. "I think it's the time, let's go! Guests must be waiting. Simon already told me to bring you out but I forgot while talking" sister Amelia stood and made her stand too. She picked up the fresh bouquet of roses which s
She was accompanied by the girls as she got out of the salon. The driver opened the car door for her and she sat in. It was not same car and it was beautiful decorated with purple tulips too. She admired it for a few seconds and then sat right in. She didn't even look at herself for long in the mirror. She didn't know how she was looking, either a beautiful bride or just an average one. The girls waved her as the driver drove the car out of the place. She knew where they were heading. She was going to marry Smith, it was her wedding day. When that ring on her finger will officially make her his wife. It was painful as if constantly burning in anguish. She wanted to cry so bad, wanted someone to lend her a shoulder but none, there was no one to accompany her of share her pain. She was silent through out the way. It was very long drive until she reached the venue. And sister Amelia recieved her. The mansion which was especially arranged for the guests and bride, Sister Amelia took h
He came back home and on his way to his study, he grabbed a bottle of beer from the kitchen cabinet. Shutting the door with force, he sat down on the floor against it and took out the cork. Pressing it against his mouth, he drank the sour, bitter liquid as if water. Beer was always some energy drink to him. And now that he was down, feeling low, he was sure that it can help him. He tore the shirt apart he was wearing, as the buttons flew away far. The wound was hurting real bad, as he looked at the freshly done bandage. She touched him while wearing that ring! He was so pissed at the moment that he didn't cared about his wound and took off that bandage immediately. Now only the cotton was stick against because of the sticky ointment. He laid down and closed his eyes. He won't let her marry him, he promised himself as he repeated the words against his lips. "I won't let him touch you, you're only mine" he whispered to himself, to the dark, empty room with half closed eyes. Half
Despite loathing him, he had to send the invitation to Dawson at the very moment. He called Velvet and asked her to send one at his address too. Ruby remained silent through out the way, as the feelings were overwhelming for her and she felt vulnerable. The way he looked her with those sharp eyes made her feel so many things. Fear, love, jealousy, happiness, there was so much in his eyes. The way he looked at her made her feel scared of him. It was in a while that he horrified her. Smith dropped her home and leaned in to place a kiss on her cheek. She barely smiled to him. "Are you feeling unwell?" He asked her, extremely suspicious of her behavior after meeting Dawson. "Yeah fine, just feeling feverish" she replied, rubbing her forehead. "Let's go to hospital then" he suggested, concerned about her. "No I'm fine, I'll take a tablet and it'll be over within a day" she replied and tried to open the car door. He wanted to ask her what was wrong with his rush but didn't stop her w
It was few days after, when he got discharged from the hospital and he was well to go home. Joseph was in office, so Jason accompanied him and took him home. He felt relieved after spending such a long time in hospital. The doctor strictly advised him to get his wounds dressing done daily. He assured him but he knew better that he going to take off the bandages in a few days by himself. He has suffered deeper pain that this bullet wound. He was so eager through out these days that Ruby will once visit him. But when she didn't came, he realized that already knew that he was conscious now, maybe from Joseph and now she'll not face him. He went home and met Simon first. He kissed his son and hugged him lightly. He missed him most of all. Simon seemed to more grown up in the past few weeks. Jason helped him to get into his room as he could walk easily now. He went into his room to change his clothes while Amber was preparing a good lunch for them. Jason adored Simon so much, so he sat
"so she is getting married?" Dawson confirmed in a low voice. "Yeah that's what she told me" Joseph replied. "To Smith? She must be happy then" he said again, a hint of disappointment visible in his voice. "Seems so, yesterday I saw them shopping for their wedding in the mall. She looked happy" he told him, remembering when he went to dinner with a client. "I think you should know that she asked for Simon's custody" Joseph wanted to bring in this matter into his knowledge. "Yeah I heard it too. But that's fine that you denied her. I can't give Simon away to her even if she begs for it. He is my only son and I want to provide him every Luxury. He's my heir" he said proudly, with a straight face. "Sure I guess you've already met Jason then. He arrived the day you got shot" he asked. "Yeah he came before you. He has changed alot. He is insisting on living here now as he's graduated now" he said with a worried face. "Maybe you should let me, you both brother can run the company be
As usual after getting over with office, she finally decided to pay Dawson a visit. She couldn't be inhumane like him, even if she didn't show she still cared for him. She went inside the room where he laid. She placed the fresh tulips on the bed side table and sat across the other side on the couch. "How are you doing Dawson? It's so unfortunate that you can't even listen or reply to me. You didn't really had to do this. I hope you'll get better soon" she spoke few words to him as he laid unconscious without responding. Just then Joseph came inside, catching her attention. "I was waiting for you" she told him enthusiastically. "Everything alright?" He asked suspiciously. "I wanted to ask whether you prepared the custody papers or not?" She stood up from her place, striding towards him. He inhaled and exhaled loudly, preparing himself for another challenge. "Look Ruby I cannot do this without Dawson's permission. He owns the child because he looked after him when you left. He
In a state of nervousness, she dialled his number. Putting the phone close to her ear, she waited for the bell to reach him. The bell was constantly ringing and he was not picking up, she was becoming more and more disappointed with every passing second. "Hello?" He spoke as he received the call after a moment. "Smith!" She called out his name with a gasp. "Is everything alright?" He asked on the other side, disturbed by the tone. "No I'm not alright! I don't know what's happening to me! Please come to me as soon as possible, I need you! I think I'll die, please save me" she cried and told him through her miserable voice. "What happened?" He was now clearly worried. "I don't know what's happening to me! Please rush and save me!" She told him again. "Where are you? Wait for me, I'm coming!" He panicked. She told him the location of the beach, and cut the call. Now she sat on the wet shore, and waited for him to arrive, feeling cold by the swirling wind. She didn't wanted to m
He was still fighting between death and life, on the ventilator. Doctors trying their best to save him because he was a young, strong man whose life was valuable. Jason couldn't sleep all night so when Joseph came in morning, he forced him to go home and look after himself. With an upset face, he went home and tried to rest, but his heart and mind was not at peace. Joseph tried to talk with the doctor that if he need more professional treatment of international services, they can afford everything. But doctor told him that there was no way rather than waiting for his lung to heal until he is accompanied by a ventilator. He told him that it will take maximum 5 to 6 weeks for full recovery until he's able to breathe again himself as they've already taken out the bullet. But he can also get on the other lung gradually. It's a matter of time, until he'll he able to get up again. The discovery although shocked him but he told the doctor that he should work on instead if he can work on h
