"what do you think Joseph, how much it will take to find her! It's already been a month" he was running out of patience now. "I'm already trying my best sir, but I want to ask you something frankly " he hesitated to say it. "Go on""First you brought her here to avenge her, then you saved her from that man you choose yourself for her, then you used your own methods to hurt her. And when your brother was getting interested her, you suddenly abandoned her. And now since the same day, you want her back when she's gone. I can't understand any if this" it was very hard to understand his complicated emotions whenever it was about her. Joseph was ready bet, that he never saw Dawson this much confused in any other matter. Dawson didn't know what he was exactly doing, his intentions was very much unclear. "I was wrong about her Joseph. She is not solely responsible for whatever happened in the past, she also suffered the same consequences which I went through alone. I misjudged her. But I
"are you okay Ruby?" Sister Amelia asked her as her face looked flustered. "Yes I'm fine, thanks" she replied with a forced smile. "Well then, come for lunch, we're all waiting for you" she told her as she stepped out. "I don't have appetite, I'll skip it" Ruby replied with a bored face. "Okay as you say, but if you feel like eating, have your food, it's always available in the pantry" she suggested. "Thankyou sister" Was it the right thing to do? To kill your own flesh? Ruby felt like she was committing a murder, without holding a weapon, she felt like she was taking some innocent life. Although she made her final decision to end this growing life inside her, but she was still unsure about it, after all it was all not just about him. This baby was her own flesh, breathing her oxygen, growing in her body, how she can remove her own part? It was not just difficult but aj impossible task for a mother. She placed her hand on her belly, feeling the living being inside it. She wa
"I've not become ill-mannered but now I've known the truth and you deserve all the filthy words of this world Mr Dawson! I hate you! I loathe you! I despise you!" She seethes as if she wanted to spit at him, unable to maintain the proximity with him. His head went back in a haze as if he will kill her any moment. She repeated the same words to him, which he said to her that day while kicking her out. He didn't know the exact reason for which she hated him but somehow it felt like her rage was building up due to some other reason. And he was not aware. "Shut your fucking mouth Ruby! I know you're mad that I kicked you out that day without giving you any reason but you also wanted to go! I kidnapped you here and then I released you! But how can you do this to me? " The sudden question and politeness in his voice struck her. What he was talking about? She thought. He was the one to be blamed! For everything he did to her since the beginning! How can he blame her for anything? She w
As soon as they were out of there moment, she was embarrassed. She got back to her room and stayed there for a long time. She didn't got out then. At night when he came inside the room to sleep, she stood there by the large floor to ceiling window. He silently placed his coat on the bed, and uncuffed his cuffs. She sensed his presence and waited to say which she kept thinking about all the day. He could see her tense body, he knew something was off with her. But what she said was least expected. "Why did you brought me into your room?" She questioned as she turned to face him. He looked at her with suspicious eyes, the question was least important to him but yet answerable. "Because you need to stay here, right front of my eyes, so I can look after my baby myself. Anything else?" He mocked her with the same look she gave him. "Let's have a proper conversation now! I don't want this child! So stop saying such things" she declared in a firm tone. "And I've told you that I want
All day she waited for Amber, but she was nowhere to be seen. She asked the new maid, but she also didn't know about her. She went into the kitchen and looked all over the house but she was not present there. She was afraid that if she had quit her job, but then she reasoned with herself that she cannot quit that easily, after all she is serving Wayans brothers since they were kids. It was almost midnight, and she felt restless. She read her mother's journal again and again but she didn't find anything unusual. Her mother clearly Dawson for everything, and even she wrote that Dawson was held accountable at court trials during the hearing. As he himself admitted that he drove the car when it hit her father. And they did not even got out of the car to help the dying man, and they ran after being scared but they stayed enough for her mother to witness them as she was present there at the moment when it happened. As she kept recalling her memories, she heard unusual noises from outside
"I will not leave until you let him go!" She declared in a firm tone and started to unchain him again. His patience reached its peak and he couldn't take her behavior anymore. He sighed and grabbed her by the shoulders, pinning her to the nearest wall. "You'll leave straight away or I'll won't spare you. Trust me with my words!" He seethed as if trying to gulp down his rage. Her eyes became moist as she held back her tears. "Why are you doing this to him?" She asked in a low voice. "It's not your concern, so better stay away from by business" he grabbed her from her throat and whispered in her ear huskily. She gasped for air, as he nuzzled into her neck, inhaling the scent of her cologne. He closed his eyes as if counting his options again. Her slight protests always turned him on, but it was not the right moment. With a jerk he let her go and stepped back. "You're going out of here in a second or I will shoot his head and you will be responsible" he shouted to her. She look
"I'm sorry but it's difficult to say that she will ever open her eyes again" the doctor told him with sorrow in his voice with a hint of scare that he might not be able to take the news really well. "What are you saying?" He growled with furrowed brows as if he would strangle him any moment. The doctor blinked repeatedly, praying that God may let him return home today alive. "You need to calm down Dawson, it's not his fault. She is been shot, it's not easy" Joseph patted on his shoulder and comfortable him. After informing Amber about the situation, she was already on her way. And after shifting that man to his farmhouse, he straight came to the hospital, in order to analyze the situation. He very well knew that Dawson was short tempered and he might do something out of emotions. The 24 hours were about to over and yet there was no sign of her consciousness. The doctors tried their best, but her heart rate was very slow. They were afraid that they might lose the baby too soon. Th
She looked at him with questionable eyes. What's suddenly got into him? She thought in confusion. When he read her face and realized that she was not understanding his sudden outburst, he continued. "I really want to ask today, why the hell did you take that bullet for some filthy brat?" He bursted out. For a second she was caught back by the rage in his voice. He always scared her with those looks as if he would eat her alive. She gulped down the fear and questioned him back. "Don't call him such rude name. Tell me if he's alive or not? I won't believe if you already killed him" she said in a shaking voice. "Counting his days" he replied sternly, unbelievable for him that she was still concerned for him. "Thank Jesus! Don't kill him please, people's lives are worth living. You are not allowed to take someone's life away or even torture them to death" she schooled him which annoyed him further. "Preach! I see that you care for other people more but can't listen to what
"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
