“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
Ruby woke up with a startle, she looked around trying to remember where she was, she had no idea, even trying to adjust to the deal room was bad, she had a dream and Liam had come to save her, it felt so real, but she guessed it might not be the case, she closed her eyes again as tears welled up in them, she was still here, she was still in her little prison, she wanted to be free“Ruby? Baby? You are awake? Why are you crying, my love? Don’t cry, you are safe now, no one is going to hurt you again, I promise you,”She heard Liam’s voice and she started crying, even more, she was still dreaming, this had to be a dream.“Ruby? You are scaring me, what is going on? Do I need to go get the doctor? Are you okay? Is our baby okay?”Liam asked again, she opened her eyes and he was there, she closed them again, she was dreaming, she just knew it.“Ruby, please say something,”He said pulling her up and shaking her.“This is a dream,”“No, it is not, get yourself together woman! It’s not a dr
“You are going to get in trouble if you keep doing that my darling Kristen,”Ruby scolded her daughter who booed at her and continued what she was doing, they were at her old house because she wanted to pack up her personal stuff as she has decided to put the house up for sale, it was not like she still needed the house so there was no point in keeping it.It’s been over a month since the incident with Sloan had happened and she could say she has healed now from her experience even though the smell of gasoline still made her scared, she was doing fine and was still seeing a therapist, her tummy was now really huge, okay not to exaggerate, she was seven months and a few days pregnant so, yeah, she was huge like a seven months pregnant woman will be but she was still able to do things herself.“Kristen sit down young lady,”She scolded her daughter who recently learned how to walk and won’t sit still.“I am going to tell your daddy when he gets here that you have been a bad girl,”She t
