Her eyes widened with his question and yelled, " Shameless…"
" That's why I don't want to share a room with you…" she glared and stood up from the bed pushing him away.
He was startled by the sudden change in her behavior. Until now, she was so interested to be intimate with him. He looked at her, who was walking away from him. Still, she was half-naked. He noticed her bare back as she turned away from him. He was so aroused watching her curvy waist. He walked after her and placed his palm on her waistline. She glared from the corner of her eyes while turning her slightly and took away his hand from her body.
He heard the articles about pregnancy mood swings on the internet but it was the first time to experience it with his love, Ruby.
As he tore her night pajama top, she opened the wardrobe and took his shirt to cover her upper body. When she was buttoning the shirt, he twirled her towards him.
" Honey... Till now you are so active in bed. what happened!" He inquired, cupping her cheeks.
" You changed completely…" she whined, not looking at his face. He raised her head to see the expression on her face. He wanted to know why she was upset all of a sudden.
" What is bothering you! " he asked her.
" You are making fun of me when I want you so badly. Not only that, you love our baby more than me…" she complained.
He smiled at her words and said, " I love you more, that's why I don't want your health to be upset with my deeds. And also I care for our baby" he explained.
She hugged him so tightly, placing her head on his chest. " Sometimes I wonder how you love a simple girl like me! I am not beautiful and intelligent. I am not perfect for you and your status," She said.
" Don't be silly. I love you with all my heart" he replied, placing his hands around her.
"What if you get bored with me after some time? " she expressed her insecurity in her heart.
" Take out your stupid thoughts in your peanut brain. Just start thinking about our baby and our future. I promise you that every issue will be solved quickly, " he replied, stroking her hair.
" I wish Martin would also be with us. I don't know what he is doing? What is he thinking about me and Kathie? " She said, raising her head towards his face.
" Present, he is safe. I don't have any idea how to convince him to forgive our father, " Steven said in a sad tone.
" It's not as easy as you think, Steve. He went through many issues as your father left him. I heard through my mom that in school, many classmates and schoolmates bullied Martin. He hated the surname of his father, he kept his name as MARTIN LAWERENCE, which was his mother's maiden name. He hates his father as he abandoned his mother, " she explained.
Steven listened to her every word keenly as he understood how many problems Martin faced in society.
" I can't change the past but I promise you that I love and respect him as my brother. If he wants all these properties then I will transfer to his name " he said determinedly.
After listening to his words, she smiled and said, " I am so proud of you. You are the best". Then she continued, " But I knew about Martin very well, he was never interested in wealth. He will be stick to true relationships"
" Hope I win my brother with my true intentions, '' Steven hoped. She smiled and nodded her head.
" We are getting late. Let's go to sleep…" he said and then both walked to the bed. As soon as they lay on the bed, he made her sleep on his chest while placing his hand on her stomach.
...
Adrian stood silently at the window, watching the snowfall in the lawn out of the Mansion. He was thinking so deeply about their future.
Then his mobile popped out with messages. He opened it and fisted his palms in anger. He was so furious at seeing those messages, videos, and pictures. He gritted his teeth with anger and looked at Katherine who was sleeping soundly.
He walked out of the bedroom and walked towards the wine cellar at the corner in the Mansion. He opened the whisky bottle and sat on the barstool then thinking about the messages he started sipping it. Even though he completed one bottle of whisky, the burning sensation in his heart was not lessened even a bit. He threw the bottle on the floor as he was not in a position to control his anger. He didn't care even if his palm was cut. He stared at the droplets of blood. But his vision was blurry due to the heavy consumption of whisky, his eyelids were heavy. He had no strength to stand due to the dizziness. So he leaned his head on the bar table.
" Ad…"
He heard a female voice, all of a sudden in a dizzy state. With his blurry vision, he saw a woman's shadowy figure.
" Ad….Are you out of your mind! " she shouted at him. She held his shirt and made him stand on the floor, who couldn't even stand, " Your son is in critical condition and your wife is injured. Moreover, their lives are at risk. Don't you feel ashamed to be so careless…" she yelled, gripping his collar.
" Mom….please go and sleep. I am not in a mood to listen to your babbling " he replied annoyingly.
" Adrian…. How many times, I told you to stay away from alcohol? You don't even know what you are talking about in a drunken state" she shouted.
" Mom...stay out of this matter…" he said and pushed her away. Maria was stunned and looked at him with widened eyes.. She never even thought Adrian would behave rudely with her because from childhood he respected her so much.
