As soon he was done with his breakfast, he waited in the garden for her. He wanted to see before leaving. Maybe exchange numbers to stay in contact. He couldn't believe she was all grown up into such a fine woman. She was prettier than ever. Something about her very attractive and captivating. He wanted to be close to her, if not in a romantic way. She was passing through the corridor, on her way to his room when she saw him roaming in the garden while looking at the white ducks. "I thought you were gone" she walked towards him. "I wanted to say goodbye before leaving, I wanted to see you" he replied, looking straight in her eyes. "Well, okay" she was moved. "But before that, I want to stay in contact with you. Can I have your number? It's like I want to help you. If you need a job, or a place to live or anything at any time, just give me a call. I'll be there to help you anytime" he went on. "Sure, it would be great. But I don't think I can get a job with no degree. I really
"don't worry too much, it's just a mild fever. I'll write down medicines, just give him syrups, he will be alright in a week" the female doctor explained to him politely while holding Simon in her arms. "Thankyou doctor" he took Simon as she forwarded him. He came home after a restless night. Simon was asleep by then in Amber's arms. Amber took him to his baby cot and laid him there. While he went back to his room to get some rest. Raising a child was not easy, he never thought that he would have to raise one without a mother. He was eating his breakfast while Amber served him. He had been utterly quite at tables since Ruby went away. He only talked specifically when he needed to. "I want to say something, if you don't mind" Amber sat down on one of the chairs beside him. "What is it?" She looked very concerned, and he was sure that there was something important. "I want you to look for Simon's mother" she talked slowly. He looked at her with a different kind of gaze which hel
The office gave very calm and cozy vibes. Everything about the interior sparked purity and home sense with tinge of professionalism. Smith just sat right across the table on his chair, all dressed up in his Armani suit and a laptop placed in front of him while stacks of different papers and files were beside it. He looked really handsome and sensible man in that dress up. She was mesmerized by his exquisite appearance for a second. "Welcome Ruby, I hope you like my company" he stood up from his chair and walked towards her while he motioned her to sit down on the couch whose beside money plants were decorated. "Thankyou, I am really impressed" she replied softly while making herself comfortable in the mattress of the couch. "That's good for me. Would you like some coffee or something cold?" He offered her while going back to his table where a telephone was placed. "No thankyou, I'm good" she denied politely. "Well then I'm ordering two coffees and you'll have to drink it with me
"this is miss Elizabeth, the daughter of Mr knight" Joseph introduced a young, eloquent lady whose each inch sparked money and modesty. She took off her glasses and eyed Dawson from top to bottom. "Hello Mr handsome" she forwarded her hand to greet him. "Mr Dawson" he corrected her with a smirk. "So miss Elizabeth is going to look forward to the contract now which we signed before with Mr knight as the power has been transferred to her only daughter" Joseph explained the reason of her arrival to Dawson who seemed to be quite irritated by her presence. "I see" Dawson said in a low voice. "Why don't we sit down then? Shall I order coffee? Miss Elizabeth, please make yourself comfortable" he motioned them to sit down on their respective places so they continue the meeting. "Sure" Elizabeth replied with a proud smile. Dawson opened the file and started to read again the terms and conditions of file. "Well I must say Mr Dawson you seem quite uncomfortable, are you alright?" Elizabe
In the moment of solace, he sat alone thinking deep. He had to make a difficult decision of marriage. Letting someone else in your life when you're not over your love is the most ridiculous thing to do. But sometimes there are not much choices and situation doesn't support your decisions. Which has to be done will get done. He was not sure about Elizabeth, although she had everything which was going to profit him alot, money, fame, reputation, that spark which make people fall for her beauty. She was complete but he couldn't find the thing he desired in her. To take fresh step and start anew, he made up his mind gradually that it will be best move to get over Ruby or else she will always stay in his heart if he didn't let someone else in. He opened his drawer and took out the pic he had of her childhood.The innocence she reflected in the picture was still there, in her face. She was still beautiful as she was before. One incident changed their lives. He put the picture back in the
The very next day Smith sent labour workers to get the home renovated as soon as possible. He was really glad to help her. He wanted to strengthen his relations with her so they can at some point built up a great understanding. She was as usual working in her office, while he stared at her through the glass wall. She was so elegant with her movements and so delicate.He couldn't stop staring, as she looked ethereal in that business suit while her straight fell endlessly on her back, her long eyelashes as she moved her eyes up and down. Her pink tainted lips along with her light Rosy cheeks, he was completely fallen for her. He regretted that why he didn't met her earlier. What happened to her in the past?And what Dawson did with her? By any chance if he raped her or she had to face any kind of sexual assault from his side, then he will never forgive him. He was thinking to take her on dinner tonight, so he can finally confess to her so they can move forward with their relationship.
"I have scheduled your with 'builders', they have accepted our offer" Joseph declared to him. "Oh that's good then" Dawson commented while he took a unnecessary glance at his face. Joseph didn't replied and stood their in his own thinking as if he didn't heard him. "What are you thinking?" Dawson asked him unable to stand his blank face. "What?" He was out of his stance. "You've been standing here like a fool, what's gotten in you?" He asked again. "There's something I cannot clarify" he replied, finally deciding to split out. "What needs to be clarify?" Dawson asked with curiousness. "When I talked on the phone, the woman who spoke seemed very familiar. But I couldn't figure out who she was." He stated. "Didn't she tell her name?" "No, she simply introduced herself from builders but didn't tell her name. Her voice, seemed very much alike to someone I've listened to before" he couldn't hold it any longer. "Okay, we'll see who she is. She must be his secretary, when she'll
As soon as she came back to her room, she cuddled herself in the bed. Sinking her face inside the pillow, she was trying to hide the guilt she had been feeling. She didn't know how to overcome her frustration. Each and every cell in her body was attracted to Dawson, she couldn't forget his touch. It was very difficult to admit that she became obsessed with his toxic masculinity. He was a total psycho, and hurted her many times yet she couldn't feel that spark with any other man. Smith was decent and polite, he couldn't evoke her desires like the way Dawson did. It was very inappropriate to compare them but it was what it was. She had to get rid of her sinful thoughts so she forced herself to accept Smith's relationship offer. It was the only way to live a peaceful life. But yet another hurdle was awaiting her as she got shivers at a mere thought of meeting him at Monday. It was unimaginable for her, that how he will react and how she will face him. Its been months since she turn
"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
