When Ruby woke up again, she saw a woman in the room and she was tending to Kristen, she quickly got up in fear, she didn’t know who the woman was and how she got in there.“Who are you? Please leave my daughter alone, please don’t harm her, she has done nothing wrong,”She pleaded.“You are awake, I am not trying to harm her, I will never harm a child, I have children of my own and won’t do anything to another woman’s child,”The lady responded, she didn’t look like a bad person but Ruby couldn’t be sure. She went over to her and took Kris from her and made sure to inspect her. Kris didn’t look like she was in any danger, she looked better than earlier and even had a change of clothes.“Did you bathe her?”She asked wondering who the woman was and why she was here in the first place.“Yes I did, and even fed her too, she looked hungry and was almost going to cry when I came in, plus you were just laying there,”She pointed out, Ruby hated that she couldn’t control herself and not fal
Liam paced up and down waiting for Sloan to call, he has been up since morning and they have been trying to no avail to track Sloan down, first, the car which he had used to pick up Ruby and Kristen had been found but after that, there was no trace of him, he had abandoned the car in a free area where there was no CCTV and no way of locating him, the police had told him to just wait for his car which they were sure he was going to make soon, Liam wasn’t sure because it was afternoon and still no words from him.“I don’t think I can do this anymore, the waiting is killing me, I can’t just sit here all day waiting for a phone call that might not come, I can’t sit here and wait for something I am not even sure would come,”Liam said as he continued pacing, both he and Luca were at his agency, he knew he shouldn’t be ungrateful because everyone was doing their best for him right now but he couldn’t help it, he hadn’t been able to close his eyes to sleep the whole of last night, not when h
“You must be out of your mind to think that I will do something like that,”He yelled back at him, the audacity to tell him to do such a thing.“Well, I guess you don’t want to see your family, you do as I said or you say goodbye to your wife and kid, she is a pretty lady and I haven’t gotten laid in a while, I can do as I please with her before I kill her and dispose of her remains and it will all be your fault for not saving her, should I mention she had magnificent breasts? I am a sucker for breasts and she got me with that, if you don’t do as I say, I can keep her with me for a couple of weeks, maybe months, until I get bored, and you know what will happen? Your child will be born with me and you know what I do with newborn babies right?”Sloan said and Liam wished he was where the man was so that he would kill him by himself, how dare he say such things about his woman, he was beyond livid, how dare he say such things, Ruby was his, and there was no way he would let Sloan keep hi
“I am not standing in your way Liam, we are talking about this, I am not just going to let my only son confess to a crime he didn’t commit just because a crazy man wants him to, no way, I won’t let that happen,”“It’s already going to happen, I don’t fucking mind, leave me alone!”He yelled again and hung up on her, he wanted to throw his phone away but since he still needed to reach Sloan he didn’t do it, he hated Luca for this, for telling his parents about his plans when he had told him not to, after this, if he was able to get his family back and also clear his name, he was done, he wasn’t going to work for Luca anymore, always reporting every issue to his family? Yeah, he wasn’t going to have it anymore, he drove angrily to the agency, he couldn’t believe that just a few hours after leaving him, he already called his parents to inform them.“Liam you are back, good, I have something to talk to you a**”Liam didn’t let him finish, he walked up to him and punched him in the face.“
“He must really love you a lot to agree to this so fast,”Sloan said as he walked into the room and grabbed his usual chair, Ruby didn’t know what he meant but she hoped Liam wasn’t going to do anything crazy for her, she won’t be able to live with herself.“What do you mean by that?”She asked, hoping that what he requested was just money and nothing out of the ordinary.“You will find out once you are out of here, I won’t say a word, I don’t give spoilers, anyway, it is going to be a good day today,”He said, he seemed so happy and it made Ruby worried, it has been over two days now since she was here, at least that’s how much she has counted, she wasn’t really sure, so far, Sloan has not done anything out of the ordinary, he was barely even here, the only person that comes in and out was the woman Ruby had come to know as Shane and from gathering from how the lady acted, she seemed to be abnormal, she talks about her children all day but the fact that she doesn’t even have any chil
“Time to go,”Sloan said as he reentered the room, he looked happy and was even smiling, which left her wondering about just what he wanted Liam to do for him.“Where is my daughter?”She asked and Sloan started laughing.“You should be more concern for your life and that of your unborn child and here you are being concerned about a child you don’t even know and didn’t birth, she shouldn’t be on your list of things to be concerned about right now,”Sloan said as he pulled her up to her feet.“She is my daughter, she is mine, where did you take her to? What did you do to her?”She asked struggling.“What did I say about struggling too much? Do you want to die here?”He asked and she was so tempted to just struggle so that the bomb will go off and the two of them can die together, that way Liam will be free, if it was just her, she would have done it but she had to think about her unborn child, she deserves to leave, and Kristen too, she might still be in the building, she deserves to l
Liam couldn’t hide his fear, he was scared of what Sloan would do to Ruby, he knew this would happen, at first, everything had been going on perfectly well, it took them about ten hours to organize everything and make Sloan believe that he was indeed making a public confession when in actual fact they just in a conference room with him saying anything and everything that came to his head, he didn’t know how they did it because he wasn’t a tech person but what Sloan had seen was a confession of him but that wasn’t what really happened.It had looked easy and Sloan had believed, he had been able to get Kristen thankfully, from the lady who had her, she was arrested and that’s when everything turned upside down, one minute he was waiting for Sloan to give back Ruby and the whole thing will end and the next minute, Sloan found out they played him and he wasn’t having it anymore, his last words made him scared that as they drove towards the location that w in the tracker, his heart was bea
“I love you so much Ruby, so much more than you can ever imagine, I don’t want a life without you in it, I can’t deal with it,”He confessed and kissed her mouth shut when she tried to protest and push him away, he held her close, not breaking from the kiss, he trusted Luca, he trusted every one of the men out there, he trusted fate to not let them both die like this, he counted the final on was minute in his head, his heartbeat increased in the last few seconds but he never broke off from the kiss, neither did he let her go, slowly, the seconds overlapped, he waited, kissing her as he counted to another one minute after the bomb was supposed to go off, he pulled off after that and it was dead, he picked up his earpiece and placed it on and held Luca calling out his name.“We are still here,”He whispered as tears gathered in his eyes, they made it, he knew Luca would not let anything happen to him, knew they still had much time to live and fate wasn’t going to let them lose like that
