" I don't want to see your face. Leave me…" she said stubbornly and pushed him away.
" okay. I will leave you but before that eat something. It's not good for our baby," he pleaded.
"It's my baby. Only mine…" she said firmly.
" Ruby….enough is enough. Your anger at me is justified but this is too much. Don't forget that I have the right to this baby! I am the father of this baby, " he said, placing his palm on her flat stomach.
She stepped back and questioned him, " Is this your plan to use this baby as you just used me! "
" Ruby...enough...not one more word from your mouth. Till now, I was silent because it was my mistake to hide my identity from you. Don't try to test my patience…" he warned her.
He sat on the bed and pulled her on his lap. " Leave me… I don't want to stay with you " she said while wriggling in his arms. But he tightened his grip around her waist and said, " Don't behave like a stubborn kid. Remember you are becoming a mom very soon…"
She furrowed her eyebrows and said, " I know. If you leave me, I will go to my cabin and continue my work…" angrily.
He sighed and said, " I was so upset with your behavior for a few days. But you made me so happy by giving me good news ". Then he kissed her cheeks and said, " Remember my words, I won't leave your side even you don't want me"
" I have no time to hear your stupid talk. Let me go. …'' she said annoyingly.
At the same time, he got a call. He held her with one hand not to run away from him then attended the call. It was from Rachel.
" Hi…. I have important work. I can't come to meet you. Just come to my office, " he informed her and ended the call.
Then he made a call to the cafeteria in the company and ordered food for Ruby. He tugged her hair behind the ears and kissed her temple. " Do you have any food cravings! I heard a pregnant woman wants to eat according to her mood!! "He said.
" So….how many women were pregnant because of you before? " she questioned.
" Ruby…I was a playboy a few years back. And I never had sex without protection. You are the only one. And the reason is I wanted to get married to you, " he answered.
She chuckled and questioned him, " You wanted to marry me! A servant's daughter!! "
" Ruby… Why are you talking like that? Why are you behaving weirdly? Why don't you tell me what your problem is? " He Asked.
" My problem is you. I don't want to work with you. But what to do, I signed a contract for one year with this company. As soon as my term completes, I will resign from this job" she said and moved away from him.
" You are my soon-to-be wife. This company is yours. Actually whatever is mine that will be yours " he said.
She laughed at his words and said, " A nice joke. How could you think I would marry a person like you? "
" Why should I? When you are the one who cheated me? " She retorted.
" Love ...please listen to me. I truly love you. I don't want to lose you. I thought to tell you after. …" Ruby cut off his words and shouted, " After you get married to your fiance, isn't it? "
" What are you talking about? I have no fiance " he answered but still, he was confused.
" No more lies, Mr. Brown. I am tired of your sweet lies and fake love. Not anymore.. " she informed and walked out of his private room to his cabin. Instantly he followed her and held her hand to stop her.
Then he noticed a young lady sitting on a
chair in the cabin. Ruby immediately took away her hand from his grip. The woman stood up and walked towards Ruby then asked Steven, " So...you are so busy with this slut in your private room that you have no time to meet me. I thought you were changed and agreed to marry you. But …"
On hearing her words, Ruby could not control her tears anymore. She thought it would be better to die before losing her self-respect and dignity.
" Rachel….shut your mouth, " Steven yelled at her.
" How dare you insult me because of that slut? " Rachel asked him. Before she spoke another word, suddenly a person twirled her and slapped her cheek.
" Control your tongue or else I will cut it " she shouted.
Steven and Ruby turned their heads and looked at that person. Until then they didn't notice her.
" Kathie…" she called out her name as Ruby didn't expect her in the company.
" Who are you? And how dare you slap me? " She shouted and raised her hand in the air to slap her but she held her wrist and twisted her hand at the back and threatened, " Don't mess with me, get lost from here "
" Steven… please help…. She is hurting me…" Rachel asked him to help but Steven said, " Leave from here " in a strict tone.
" I will complain about you to Aunt Clara," she threatened and left his cabin.
As soon as Rachel, Ruby hugged Katherine and started crying. " Kathie...she named me as slut .. " saying she sobbed, placing her face on her shoulder.
"Shhh….Ruby….calm down … " Katherine consoled, rubbing her back. A few minutes later, she made her sit on the chair and took a glass of water from his work table to her. Then she looked at Steven angrily and shouted at him, " I already warned you to not hurt her. But still, you were hurt by cheating her by already having a fiance. Don't you have shame! "
" Kathie… I don't know why she was introducing herself as my fiance. Please trust me. I only love Ruby and I want to marry her" he said.
" Kathie ...let's go….I don't want to see his face again in my life …" Ruby said, holding her hand. Instantly Steven held Ruby's other hand and said, " You can't go like that when you are carrying my baby …"
