Throughout his presence, she didn't tried to look at him again. They talked about work, finalized the contract and left. She was relieved after a long day. Packing her things up, she was about to leave when Smith stopped her. "I have a news for you" he told her while inserting the keys in the engine as they both sat down inside the car. "What?" "Your house is completely ready now, let's get shifted today. I couldn't help you in shifting yesterday because we had an important meeting. But today seems to be the perfect day and we can spend time together too" he told her with a smile lurking on his face. Although she was glad as she heard about her house but spending time with him didn't seem like a good idea. She needed some alone time, to think, to understand what was happening around her. She wanted to start a relationship with him but not under such circumstances. He was not even aware that she has a son. Will he continue to love her after he'll know about it? "Thanks, I think t
She almost sighed when Smith didn't choose to stay over with her. He left early then she expected. As soon as they ate dinner which they had to order from outside, he remembered that he has to wake up early for office. In the mean time of night, she planned her schedule to visit Dawson tomorrow. She was desperate to see her baby. She also planned to take some gifts as she was going to meet him for the first time after his birth. Overwhelmed with all the excitement, she couldn't sleep all night. She constantly changed positions on bed but was unable to close her eyes and dive deep into the valley of sleep. And the most obvious reason was, she was already missing her son. She kept thinking about him, how old he must have grown, how he looks like, who takes care of him etc. She knew she has to avoid Smith at all costs tomorrow. She can't afford trouble and explanations on the most finest day of her life recently. *The next morning was more beautiful than she expected. As she cuddled
He looked at her as she looked at Simon with all the desperate love in her eyes. He motioned her to come and take him into her arms. But she froze in her place, unable to move as tears continuously rolled down her cheeks. She missed it. Every little moment of her son which every child spend in it's mother's arms. He realized it and slowly moved towards her as Simon looked at the unrecognizable face of her mother with plain eyes. "Simon!" He slowly called his name. "Go to her! She is your mother" he politely tried to give the baby in Ruby's arms. She forwarded her arms and took him in her embrace, safe and soundly. The feel of her son against her own skin felt so precious. She kissed his forehead and smelled him with her nose. He smelled just like him. Strong and powerful, with a hint of dominancy. He will turn out to be just like his father. She hugged Simon as he smiled while looking at her face and even poked her face with his saliva covered fingers. They both broke into a fis
She lost the count of time while being tangled with him all night. She was exhausted so she didn't realized when sleep took over her and she forgot about the promise she had with Smith. In the middle of the night, when she woke up from the heavy slumber, she saw Dawson beside her, whose one hand was on her chest while sleeping on his front. She removed his hand from her body, carefully so he doesn't wake up. Wrapping a sheet around her body, she moved towards the large window. Sliding the curtain aside, she felt the desire to see moon. Around which stars use to gather and shine, giving him all the attention of the universe. She realized that maybe she was simply a star in someone's life but she was also the moon in someone other's life, particularly. She regretted that she choose to be a star in her son's life when he needed the moon to look over him. She didn't know how to get back in her place which she kicked while running away from him. She didn't know what to think over Dawso
Smith and Ruby were on their way to office. It started raining heavily, and she could only witness the heavy droplets striking with the window as her eyes struggled to grip the view if surroundings. She was deep in her thoughts, unaware of his eyes settling on her. "Are you okay Ruby?" He asked in a low voice. She looked in his direction, as if he disrupted her wild imagination with unknown eyes. "Ofcourse I'm fine" she forced a thin smile. "You don't look good after that call, is something wrong? You can share" he advised. And it was the last thing she could do on the earth. She tried to restrain her expressions and show him that she was perfectly alright. "It's not that Smith, I'm perfect! See my big smile" she tried to cheer up in order to fake in front if him by stretching her lips into a full teeth smile. "I like that toothy smile not that depressed face" he commented and smiled in return. *Spending the day in office, she was exhausted to death after reaching home in hea
Their insane kiss was interrupted when the door bell rang. She pulled away first, realizing the awkwardness. He sensed that she felt embarrassed of it, so he detached himself and stood up. "I'll get it" saying this, he went towards the doorway. He opened the door and the delivery boy stood there, holding their food package. He took the food from him and signed the receiving bill. Shutting the door, he turned around to give it up to her. "Here is your food, now I think I should take me leave" he suggested, looking away from her. Suddenly the atmosphere around them was filled with awkwardness and strange irritation. "You may go after, maybe you can stay a bit for food?" She didn't wanted to make him feel unwelcomed which she already did. "No you may enjoy it, I'll leave" he denied. "I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have left in midnight without informing you" she admitted it politely. He looked again at her and she looked guilty of her mistake. He was stunned that after all she adm
He dressing himself as she watched him in amazement. What was he doing? Is he going to leave? She kept asking herself while being speechless. "Where are you going? I need an answer!" She shouted as he buckled his belt. "Not today" he said calmly and picked up his coat from the floor. "What do you mean? When am I going to have an answer! Don't leave like this!" She screamed on the top of her lungs as he picked up his car keys from the table he placed on, heading speedily towards the door. "You can't leave me like this Dawson! Cone back!" She broke into tears, falling on floor as he went away and closer the door with a thud without looking back. She kept crying on the floor, holding her head between her knees. He was the only person who knew the truth and he was never going to answer it. It was either him or his brother, she wanted to know. *He wiped the tear off his eye as he closed the car door, inserting keys. She is never going to let go of that night. Never ever. He was no
"come inside, I'll drop you home" Smith stated as he waved his hand to her to get inside. "No thanks, I'll walk home" she replied with a straight expression. "I have your belongings which you left behind. Get inside, I'll drop you home" he argued. "Please Smith, give me my belongings and I'll go by myself. I don't need your help right now, I just want to be alone at the moment" she almost begged him. Without another say, he picked up her phone and bag from the seat beside him and handed her over. She held them silently and started walking in her direction, as he watched her going away. She walked herself to bus stop and stood there for ten minutes for the bus to arrive. As soon the bus came, she sat in. Looking through the city all the way was soothing to her nerves. She turned on her phone and saw several missed calls from Smith and Dawson. Two messages from sister Amelia. She ignored all of it and just relaxed herself in the back of the seat, leaning in the comfy chair. Some
"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
