" I don't want to see your face. Leave meâ¦" 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 mineâ¦" she said firmly.
" Rubyâ¦.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 patienceâ¦" 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 soonâ¦"
She furrowed her eyebrows and said, " I know. If you leave me, I will go to my cabin and continue my workâ¦" 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. â¦'' 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.
" Hiâ¦. 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.
" Soâ¦.how many women were pregnant because of you before? " she questioned.
" Rubyâ¦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? "
" Ruby ...stop irritating me " he shouted.
" 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. â¦" 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 â¦"
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.
" Rachelâ¦.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.
" Kathieâ¦" 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 helpâ¦. She is hurting meâ¦" 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.
"Shhhâ¦.Rubyâ¦.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 goâ¦.I don't want to see his face again in my life â¦" 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 â¦"
" Baby!! " Katherine was startled.
