All Chapters of The Billionaire's Stubborn Bride: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

RUBYIt was a cool evening, I was seating out with Archer be the pool side, admiring the scenery and enjoying the breath of fresh air. We do that alot on good days. Glasses of wine by the side and occasionally taking sips which we will suck at and listen to it travelling down our stomach. Once we emptied a bottle of my favourite wine and we were both tipsy. Offcourse the fourteen percent alcohol did it. How we got into bedroom was a mystery because I couldn't remember. I woke up the next day stripped of clothes. When I made to stand up I felt my head on fire. It felt like thousands of goldsmiths hitting really hard on my head as in a horror movie. I slumped back into bed. Archer was already up, when I checked the time, it was past 8am. I felt so dizzy that day. I couldn't believe it when Archer recounted the event to me.we were there, having a great time. We talked, I kept up with an occasional throaty laughter and chuckled as Archer made jokes. He told me about a woman who was try

RUBY"Babe, we're going to be late,""I'm coming." I quickly wear my earrings. I can tell from Archer's voice that he's getting impatient already and I didn't want to give him a reason to call the whole thing off. I had to convince him to allow us to go to this event. The last thing I want is for him to change his mind. I take a last look at myself and smile. My ankle length, A-line gown looks so good on me. I turn and grin at the deep V-neckline at the back. The neckline is so deep that the whole of my back was on display. Archer is going to lose his shit when he sees it. The sleeves of the dress are long and cover the entirety of my hands. The diamond studs on my ear were a gift from my father on the occasion of my graduation. The red heels and clutch were chosen by Ethel during one of our shopping spree. I feel their love wrap around me like a warm blanket and I cuddle the little bump on my stomach. My child will never lack love. My hair is wrapped in a chignon with red l

RUBY"... Sorry for the delay." I'm so happy to see Dante that I feel giddy. Now the playing field feels a little even. Dante has been working for my papa since he was a teen. My papa picked him from the streets, wounded and dying. After saving his life, Dante followed Papa home and has since stayed. A cocky and playful man, with his curly black hair and black eyes. He looks so innocent most especially when he smiles and his two dimples appear. He's never failed to attract all kinds of women. As playfully as he is, he is also very deadly. He taught me how to shoot a gun and not once did I see him ever miss. Papa trusts him with his life and Dante is more than ready to defend him to death. I felt sick in my stomach when Archer suggested that I leave him. The thought of it made me almost throw up. To choose between our child and him was unthinkable."How did you find us?" Archer asks. "We've been following you from the house, Signor Ferretti asked us to follow behind. We in

RUBYAs the car backs away in the dark of the night, I squint my eyes trying to get the last glimpse of the Archer in the car but I can't see him.The car turns and we revise back to town, where we came from. There's nothing I can't do right now but to get help. As the car puts more space between us, I curse Archer for convincing me to leave him. What if I never get to see him again? What if this is the end?I place my hand on my stomach, will my child grow up with a father? Will he hate me for leaving his father behind?Survive Archer. Survive."Can you go faster? There's still no signal." I say."Calm down Ruby, we'll get a signal soon." Dante says."Don't tell me to calm down Dante. You took me away from him. If something happens to him, I'll never forgive you." I say angrily, clenching my phone in my hand, waiting for the signal to return."Ruby, if you had stayed any longer, all you would have done is distract Archer and Diavolo would have capitalized on it. Would you like to b

ArcherI sat in the waiting area, my mind racing with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. It had been incredibly hard for me to leave Ruby's side, even for a short while. She was carrying our child, and the weight of that responsibility weighed heavily on my shoulders. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was to blame for her current condition, despite her assurances that I wasn't.The kind-looking doctor called my name, and I followed her into the examination room. I discarded my shirt as instructed, exposing the wound on my shoulder. The doctor went to work, cleaning and stitching it up with practiced precision. In no time, the wound was covered, and she provided me with instructions for care."Just make sure to keep the wound clean and dry, and it should heal nicely. If you experience any pain or swelling, don't hesitate to reach out to us," the doctor advised, offering a reassuring smile."Thank you, Doc," I expressed my gratitude before hastily making my way back to Ruby's ward.
