" Baby! " Katherine was startled by his words and looked at Ruby.
" Is it true? " She asked her, praying in her mind not to be true. She gulped her throat in fear thinking of her reaction and lowered her head.
" Ruby….I am asking you sothing. Is it true? " she asked again.
She nodded her head without looking at Kathie's face. Katherine glared at Steven and asked " Is it part of your plan to trap her in your ga? "
" Kathie. ...Please believe . I never had intentions to cheat Ruby. I truly love her and want to marry her" he said, walking towards them.
" But I don't want to marry a person like you…" Ruby said her decision. Then she looked at Kathie, " I think it's better if we leave the place as early as possible. I don't want to stay with him even for one second " Ruby walked out of his cabin.
" Kathie….at least you...listen to once " Steven stopped her.
" What should I listen to you? You already had a fiance and made her pregnant. What is there to listen to? " she shouted.
" Kathie….she is not my fiance. Please believe . My mom selected her for as she was my childhood friend. Why don't you give one chance to prove my love? " he asked.
" I made a big mistake by not revealing your identity to Ruby. If I would have revealed your identity, at the beginning, itself, she might not be in this position. Because of my small mistake, she is suffering. From now on, I will take care that you will not be around her…" Katherine said and left his cabin seriously.
They both were not in a mood to hear a single word from him. So Steven thought to remain calm and decided to talk the next day. But he was so worried about Ruby's health. Even though he was not prepared to be a father soon but felt so happy when he ca to know the news. He thought God helped him by giving his baby because the baby is the only source that bonds them together.
…..
Katherine and Ruby sat in the car silently. She instructed the driver to take them to the house then she made a call to Adrian and inford him that they were going ho and she won't co to the company for today.
On hearing Katherine's voice, Adrian understood that sothing is serious. He wanted to go and talk with her but he had so much pending work at the company.
….
Once they reached the ho, Katherine asked to wait for her in the guestroom where she was staying. She directly went to the room whereas Katherine went to the kitchen to get sothing to feed her so food as she looked weak. She knew that it wasn't good for her health.
She prepared vegetable lasagna and orange juice for Ruby. Then she took them to her room. When she entered the room, she noticed her sleeping on the bed. She woke her so that she would eat the food.
" Ruby...get up and eat this food " she ordered.
" I am not hungry and don't want to eat anything…" she replied.
" I didn't ask your opinion. I ordered you to eat. This is not good for your health and you should be careful at this ti, " she said in a commanding tone.
Ruby took the plate from her hands and completed her food. Katherine sat opposite to her on the chair patiently till she finished the food and then asked her, " when do you know about your pregnancy? " she inquired.
" Four days back…" She replied. Katherine glared at her and asked her, " So you didn't think to inform ? Huh? Is it because I hide Steven's identity from you? "
She lowered her head and nodded as NO. Then she replied to Kathie in a low voice, " Your health was not well. So I thought to tell you later"
" Ohh…."
" Then why didn't you tell last night when I ca to talk with you? Why Ruby, why? Do you doubt my love for you? " She shouted at her.
" No .." she cried.
" I am so upset and confused. I don't know what to do with this baby? " She cried.
" Tell ...what happened without hiding anything …" Katherine asked, rubbing her back.
...
Ten days back …..
RUBY POV
When I was working, Steven called and inford that we have to go to Canada all of a sudden.
I thought it would be a business trip like always. When we landed in Canada, instead of hotels, he took to a huge Mansion.
I was surprised to see the luxurious mansion for the first ti in my life. Then he told that it is his ho and he took with him as his father was not well. I felt so nervous and asked him to send back but he insisted I stay with him.
There were so many maids in the mansion. He asked to stay next to his bedroom. When I freshened up in my room and went to et him in his room. Then I saw a middle-aged woman who looked pretty and resembled Steven.
" Who are you? " She questioned .
" I am Ruby, Mr. Brown's assistant " I introduced myself to her.
" Ohhh….you are the new bedmate to my son! " She questioned which broke my heart with her hurtful comnts.
" Madam, it's not what you think about , " I replied. For that, She glared at and mocked, " I know very well about your low-class people like you. You will do anything for money…"
Just that ti, Steven ca out of the bathroom and smiled at then introduced her as his mother, Oliver. I greeted her and remained silent.
" Steven .. . I don't want to stay in that city. I want you to co back and get married soon…" His mother said to him,
Steven looked at and said, " We will talk about it later. I want to et dad first "
" Why do you want to et your dad? To inform him of the details of that bastard? I told you not to go to that place, still, you went to that city" she shouted at Steven.
" Mom...I don't want to talk about this topic with you. Just leave my room…" he retorted.
" If you bring that bastard to my ho, I will kick him out. I don't want him to co here " she warned.
" He is not a bastard but my brother. I told you many tis to not repeat those words. Don't you understand" he said in a serious tone.
I stood silently as I was confused on hearing those words. Steven looked at my side and told to wait in the room which I got allotted. I agreed and went to the room and waited. The maid brought everything to eat and drink the whole day. I checked the ti, it was night nine and Steven still didn't co to . I felt bored and ca out of my room and walked around the ho. When I reached the corner of the Mansion, I heard Steven's voice. I hurriedly walked in that direction and stood at the entrance of the door when I heard another voice in the room. It belongs to another male person. I peeped inside and looked at them.
" Dad ...please believe , I will fulfill my promise …" Steven told him.
I saw a person who was almost fifty years old. He was lying on the bed. I wanted to leave that place then I heard him asking Steven, " When will you bring your brother to ? "
I thought Steven was the only heir. I was so curious to know who might be. He didn't even ntion this matter to .
" Dad...I need so ti. I need the support of Kathie and Ruby to convince him, " he replied when I was in deep thoughts. I was startled that he ntioned our nas.
" I have no ti, my son. Please bring him as soon as possible " he started crying, holding Steven's hands. Just at that ti, my phone rang and Steven turned his head and noticed over there.
" Ruby…." He exclaid in surprise.
" Is he Ruby? " The old man asked, looking at with a small smile.
He nodded his head and was looking at nervously. I walked towards him and asked, " What is going on here? And why are you ntioning our nas in your conversation? "
Then the old man said, " I am the father of Martin. My na is Robert Brown and Steven is Martin's stepbrother"
I was awestruck knowing the truth and looked at Steven. From our childhood, I knew how much Martin hated his father as he cheated on his mother and married another woman. I quickly ran to the room and closed the doors. I felt betrayed in the na of LOVE. All these days, he used to fulfill the promise to his father.
