Married to The Impotent Billionaire 9. Return what’s mine
Ruby’s POV “I know what he did was painful, but do you plan to keep him away from his child forever?” Lily asked, her eyes boring directly into mine. “I plan to,” I replied, unbothered by her scathing gaze. “He rejected me and this child. Do I need to remind you of how he called me a whore and gold digger? Do I need to remind you of the times I worked several jobs to take care of Emma while I got no support from him for his child? Tell me, Lily, which one of these things are you suddenly forgetting?” She shook her head, drawing closer to me. “Ruby, I understand what you went through, and I hate him for that, but this isn’t about you alone. It’s about the baby you’re carrying. That baby deserves a father. Every baby deserves a father, Ruby. You know this!” I rolled my eyes, her words unnerving my soul. “Well, not Dominic Sinclair! He’s a poor excuse for a man. He deserves no mercy, no pity, and definitely no access to my child. This child right here,” I sneered angrily, point
Married to The Impotent Billionaire 10. I am not your puppet
Ruby's POV My body was stiff, each one of my bones reminding me of the call from earlier. My eyes fluttered as I looked up at my ceilings. I turned in my bed for what felt like the hundredth time trying to get some sleep but nothing was working. All I could think about was Benjamin Gustavo. His threats echoed in my mind. Was he really Oliver's son? And why, just why did Oliver give me his shares and properties when he had a son of himself. Was Oliver up to something? Did he approach me from the very beginning with a different plan in mind? I shook my head, trying to dispel such thoughts. Of course he isn't like that. This was the man who had raised me from my low place and given me several opportunities. But then if Benjamin claims to be his son and he really is, surely Oliver must’ve something to do with it. I sighed, breathing in deeply. The fear for Emma and my unborn child gnawed at me. I needed answers, first thing the next morning I was going to be at Oliver’s office.
Married to The Impotent Billionaire 11. Slurpy wet kiss
Ruby's POV In anger, I entered my car, my foot pressing on the brake as I turned the ignition. My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, knuckles turning white. What the hell was I thinking? That a man who barely knew me was just going to hand over his property to me because he loved my mother? How stupid of me. I should’ve known there was something attached to it. He had presented himself like an angel, unable to hurt a fly, and I had let him deceive me. Although he was there during my hardest moments, all he was, was a liar, a snake. He had a goal all along, and I had no idea. Frustrated, I rested my head on the headrest, letting out a heavy sigh as his words rang in my ears. “Now tell me, do you really want to risk Emma and your unborn child’s safety?” My heart pounded in my chest, a mix of fear and anger swirling inside me. How could I have been so blind? How do I get a man I can’t stand to hand over his business to me? How? I shook my head, tears blurr
Married to The Impotent Billionaire 12. A wet kiss
Dominic's POV. "What are you doing to me?" I asked, pulling away from the kiss. What the hell is going on. Why was she suddenly into me? Is she drunk? I took a few deep breaths, pulling further away from her as I tried to stabilize my thoughts. "What is it, why'd you stop?" She asked, a worry and concern etched on her face. "Ruby, are you really asking me why I stopped? Just few days ago your step dad slapped me, telling me to stay away from you. Just few days ago you were all into Ethan, but now you come here, grab me and kiss me. I don't understand you.” "Ummm.." she took a long look at me, and in the most seductive manner she asked, "do you not want me?" "Want you?" I reechoed. "I've wanted you since the very moment you stepped into this company with my child. But you made it clear you don't want me coming near to our child." "What if I changed my mind?" She was asked. I moved closer to her, unable to comprehend her words. My two hands rested on both sides
Married to The Impotent Billionaire 13. Confusion
Ruby's POV I lay in the hospital bed, cradling my newborn son in my arms. His tiny hand gripped one of my fingers, causing my heart to swell with joy. Tears welled up in my eyes as memories from the past nine months flashed through my mind. As my eyes fixated on his little frame, I knew all those insults at the diner were worth it. Everything was finally worth it. "He's perfect," Lily said softly, her eyes glistening with tears as she squeezed his tiny palm. Nodding my head in response, I smiled weakly, exhausted but elated. "Yes, he is, Lily. I still can't believe he's here." Ethan leaned down and smiled at me. "You did great, Ruby. We're proud of you." The door to my ward room creaked open, and my eyes followed the sound. My heart skipped a beat as I saw Dominic. Anger and confusion flooding through me. "What the hell are you doing here?" I asked, my voice sharp as I glared at him. Resting my hands on opposite sides of my body, I tried to sit up to face him properly,
Married to The Impotent Billionaire 14. Unwanted Visitors
Ruby’s POV I sat on my couch, cradling my son in my arms. His soft breathing was the only sound in the room, a peaceful rhythm that contrasted sharply with the distress in my mind. Lily sat next to me, her concern evident as she watched me. "You should give Dominic a chance to be with his son, Ruby," Lily said softly, her eyes pleading. I shook my head, refusing to meet her gaze. "No, Lily. I can't. After everything he's done, I can't trust him." Lily sighed, adjusting her bag over her shoulder. "But he's the father. He deserves to know his son, and your boy deserves a father.” I shook my head, "he had his chance," I replied, my voice hard and unyielding. "And he blew it. He made his choices, and now he has to live with the consequences." “I still think you should —“ Our conversation was interrupted by the sound of the front door creaking open. My heart skipped a beat as my eyes met Oliver Gustavo standing in the doorway, his face red with anger. Lily jumped up, her face
Married to The Impotent Billionaire 1. Baby Emma is dying
Ruby's POV "Code blue, code blue," a nurse shouted from my daughter’s ward. I stood up abruptly, my heart pounding against my chest as I immediately bolted into her ward. Several people surrounded Emma, a doctor’s fists was compressing her chest wall in desperate attempts at CPR. My breath hitched; it was hard to swallow. I immediately bolted towards her but a hand grabbed my shoulders, preventing me from going further. “Miss Brown,” one of the doctors said, coming closer to me. “I think it’s best you let us do our jobs. We can’t have you_” “You will not tell me what to do!” I spat out immediately, shoving my shoulders out of his grip as I lounged towards another doctor. “What’s going to happen to my daughter?” I asked frantically, my eyes glancing towards the monitor for any signs of hope but there was nothing. Nothing at all. “Ruby, you need to calm down, we are doing our best to save her.” Maria, my daughter’s favorite nurse said as she walked towards me, instantly p
Married to The Impotent Billionaire 2. I’m not Natalie!
Ruby's POV “No,” I slurred again, trying to push him away. He didn’t listen, holding me tighter, his hands roaming over me. My heart pounded in a mix of fear and anger as he forced my hand to palm his face. Panic surged through me. I gathered all my strength and shoved him hard. He stumbled backward, hitting the elevator wall and slumping to the ground, tears streaming down his face as he cried out, “Natalie! Natalie!” The elevator dinged, and the doors opened. A man and woman entered, their eyes widening at the scene before them. The strange man from earlier stood up revealing a tall, well-built frame and striking blue eyes that contrasted sharply with his dark hair. He rushed towards the woman. “Natalie, you’re really here. Wait what are you doing here?” he asked, reaching for her hand. She recoiled in disgust, slapping his hands away. “Get away from me, I don’t know you!” She snapped as she looked up at the man with her. For a moment while they entered I was sure I saw a

Married to The Impotent Billionaire 8. Overwhelming
Ruby’s POV The park buzzed with laughter and the chirping of birds. It was the perfect day for an outing. I watched Emma as she ran ahead, her little feet barely touching the ground in her excitement. Ethan walked beside me, his presence reassuring and comforting. “Ethan, you didn’t have to come,” I said, glancing at him. I had planned a day in the park with myself, Emma and Emily but once I asked him he immediately cleared his schedule and made it happen. He waved it off with a smile. “Nonsense. It’s good that I’m here. Besides, who wouldn’t want to spend a lovely day in the park with you two?” I couldn’t help but smile at his words, feeling a warmth spread through me. Soon, we found a quiet spot near the basketball court, and Ethan immediately grabbed a ball, heading over to the hoops. “I want cotton candy mom,” Emma whined, her little hands dragging mine. I gestured to Emily and she immediately came over, taking Emma’s hand. “Come on, sweetie. Let’s go get some cotton
Married to The Impotent Billionaire 7. A hot slap
Dominic’s POV My feets tapped incessantly against the floor, my fingers rearranging the pens on my table as I tried to focus on the file in front of me. It’s been five hours, five good hours of trying to make a summary for the marketing team but to no avail. My eyes have roamed all around the hallway, seeking the woman that was carrying my child. Closing my eyes in frustration, I grabbed my screen, pulling it closer to me as I determined to get some work done. But all that played in my head was my unborn child and the space between us. I felt my head lighten as every minute felt like an eternity as I replayed the conversation I had with her over and over in my head. The hurt in her eyes, the finality in her voice, it was all I could think about. The way her eyes had teared up when I had called her a liar and rejected our child was now something that plagued my mind. I pulled my shirt away from my chest, trying to soften the suffocation I was feeling inside of me as I remembe
Married to The Impotent Billionaire 6.?Ruby says no
Ruby’s POV I couldn't help but laugh. It was a bitter, incredulous laugh, bubbling up from a place of deep hurt and anger. "What's so funny?" Dominic asked, his voice laced with irritation and confusion. I wiped a tiny tear from the corner of my eye, my laughter cutting off abruptly. "Dominic, you think you can just waltz back into my life, claim the child, and everything will be okay?" I shook my head, the humor draining from my expression. "You ruined everything. You didn't believe me when I needed you the most and now you think an apology will fix it all?" His face fell, the weight of my words hitting him hard. "Ruby, I know I messed up.” He said, his face softening, infact, I’d never seen him look this vulnerable before. “I know I was wrong. But I am here now, and I want to make things right." I stopped laughing, my face hardening as I crossed my arms. "And how do you plan to do that? By demanding things as you always do? By taking control of everything?" He stepped
