He was feeling restless in his room. Jason already left to sleep after his whole session of blabber, which he had to listen on purpose.
He got up from the bed and put on a sweatshirt. He still couldn't believe how he peacefully slept beside Ruby the other night. What did she do to him? His maximum sleep hours were to two to three and might exceed to four if he become lucky after listening to medication or taking a therapy.A little bead of sweat appeared on his forehead as he didn't wanted to process where he was going, although he was aware of the direction.
She must be asleep by now, he assured himself. But still he had the urge to lay by her side and see if he could really get a peaceful sleep.
Hands tucked in the pockets of his trouser and shirt which clearly showed his body cuts. He had always been this handsome, everyone used to tell him and there was no woman who was not charmed by his personality. <
The day was very boring so she decided to help Anna in kitchen. Little did she started, but she liked cooking. She put on her slippers and opened her door.Took a peek and after making sure no one was there, she stepped out.Despite Dawson's warning, she got out and she was very well aware of it. She was bound to stay in his home, wasn't it enough?But she was also terrified because his punishments were rather brutal if he got enraged.She entered the kitchen, but didn't find Anna right there."It's almost dinner time, she should be here to prepare it" she thought to herself.Rather than waiting for her, she took out the onions from the basket and started to peel them.After washing the peeled onions, she placed them on chopping board to chop.She was slow at first but then her hands moved fastly, as she felt like she was getting better at it."If he'll try to hurt me for getting o
As he grazed her skin with his lips, moving close to kiss her, she backed away suddenly.Mixed feelings of fear, audacity and sadness crept up her face as she looked at him through painful eyes. While he watched her with a surprised expression. What was she up to? "What do you mean by lessen punishment, huh?" She said sharply, not realizing where all the strength came into her at once. He watched her questioning face as he couldn't grip on what she was saying. "Let me warn you Ruby, don't cross your limits. Only you will suffer consequences" he whispered deeply, very close to her. "What sin I committed that you want to punish me? I am already suffering! You forbid me to leave the room but why? So I can't meet your brother! All the past days you forced me to eat at the same table with you and now you just forbid me because you had your brother now to accompany you? What am I? A slave? Or you really succeeded to
He knew, he had to leave. He got up when the night was basking in the coal darkness and the moon shone at its peak.He glanced at the person who laid beside him, seemed to be sleeping but misunderstanding to his senses, she was awake.He picked up his shirt and trousers, dressing up. She knew, she was someone he will never own yet not let go. She felt herself being humiliated each day, worst.Silence was better than the mortification they both faced in their shoes. He still couldn't take his eyes off her bare shoulder as she kept her face away, not facing him.He took steps towards the door, and left,As she closed her eyes, in hope to redeem herself again from the contamination done tonight.*He didn't know why her words were carved on to his mind. He couldn't forget it, not even for a second. All the remaining night, he kept thinking about her, what she said.And now even in his office, he mista
The diary was now in his hand, as he sat calmly on his armchair. Was it right decision to read it?He asked himself as he caressed the cover with his fingertips.But he was also encaged in his frustrating guilt, of doing injustice. How could he overcome with it? He didn't know.Knowingly he carried the diary and headed out of the room.He came downstairs and went inside his study room, but as he was about to close the door he saw Ruby crossing the hall.From where is she coming at this hour? He became suspicious.And soon he saw Jason coming straight behind her back and climbing the stairs like some wild animal had been chasing him.Letting his thoughts carry him away, he assumed that they must have planned to meet secretly in the dark so no one can witness them.Not asking himself for a reasonable explanation, he hid the diary in the drawer of his table and followed her.*
As soon he laid her on the bed, a sense of guilt started to cloud his mind. Not able to admit, he had to realize that he hurted her without being at fault. Maybe what she said was truth because she barely knows him and even after Jason's blatant words, he must be the one who was following her to enrage Dawson more.He glanced at her unconscious figure. His way of treating her was too harsh that she fainted right after it. Now he had to wait until she becomes conscious.He sat on the couch and rested his head against his arm. As if he was tired enough but can't sleep.He remembered the night clearly in his head, when his brother and he went to a party. The only party which turned out to be horrible for him.He regretted every second when he let his drunk brother drive the car.His eyes snapped open at the sight of car colliding with the man who had a gleaming smile on his face.He patted a hand on his forehea
It was early morning and she didn't felt right. Something was wrong with her, she felt herself puking many times and feeling all nauseous and tired. She didn't felt the appetite to eat her breakfast, although she didn't even had her dinner the night before. She tried taking a walk in the fresh air, but felt her legs too numb for that. She just wanted to sleep all day, and lie in bed.Amber was a bit worried by her behavior but especially from Dawson's behavior whom she didn't witness in the morning.He didn't even had his breakfast, neither appeared from his room. And she just got to know that he left for office in the early morning.It was indeed surprising for her because it never happened with him that he become so much hideous, one way or another she always had to face him in morning, either for breakfast or clothes.One thing for she was certain that something was wrong in between both of them. They both were disturbed by something.
He didn't know why he was doing it, he only wanted to remove her existence in front of his eyes. Something stirred in his heart when her eyes became moist, as if she was powerless in front of him. She was nothing, but just a mere target of his lustful sins whom he used. And now killing her will only add more guilt and discomfort to his already culpability which he is never going to admit.The clouds started to thunder in the sky as lightening struck them. The black sky growling as if it also reacted to his hate. The noise pierced through the ears.His jaw was tight, as he gritted his teeth.He unwrapped his fingers as he finally decided and made his decision.Her face turned back to life as she gasped through the air. She couldn't speak for a moment as she stared him with confused eyes.What was wrong with him? She couldn't understand. It was out of blue.He grabbed her by her wrist as he pulled her behind him.
She sat against the door until she heard a small noise. She lifted her head to look in the direction. The rain still didn't stopped, the water pour down heavily as if crying along with her. A slight window in the gates was open, which was so small that only a hand could pass through it. She stood up to look who opened it, and if she can beg them to let her in. It was dark, desolate and scary out there. The empty streets with no light were not only insecure but also unfamiliar. As if she never saw such sight in those months. It has been a long time, since she arrived there and got enclosed in that home of his where she was never able to witness the environment outside the walls for months. And it all felt so awkwardly strange. A hand came forward from inside the window. Before she could speak or even utter a word, the thing which came in view froze her. It was Amber's hand but it did not surprised her. The thing which shook her was in her hand. That journal. Samantha's diary,
"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
