RUBY

"Are you sure you want to see daddy?" I asked my son before we entered Wyatt's room. The door still closed as I didn't want him to walk pass it before he wasn't fully ready.

Austin nodded, but I could spot hesitation in it, so I asked again.

"Daddy is in a bad condition. Very bad. Can you hold that?" I concerned about him. Clearly, I avoided to add more stress to his traumatized state.

His eyes fixated on the door then he nodded.

However, I couldn't bear to see the scene, even though he seemed determined with his choice. Thus, I crouched down to level our gazes. "Are you sure, sweetheart?" I asked one last time.

Austin didn't asnwer and merely stared at me. But suddenly, he moved closer, hugging me. "Yes, Mommy. I want to see daddy." And spoke to me with his little voice which sounded more steady than me.

I glanced at Helen and Allan who were standing behind Austin. Helen nodded and Allan did the same through his gaze. It was everyone supporting Austin.

"Okay." I said after a whi

    WILLIAM"Tell mw what you've gotten." I said through the gritted teeth as Todd, my assistant, came over to report his findings.Of course, I wouldn't let whoever hurt my family free. They had to pay for their sin."He refused to answer the investigator's questions. But they will send him to prison anyway and the evidence is enough to jail him for years behind the bars."It was good news, indeed. The prison was where the criminal ended up. But I needed more than this. Somehow, I felt that there was bigger picture about this incident. Someone else involved or was the mastermind of it, and I had a hunch of who it was."How's Foster?""Down." He replied to the point. "We're in the process of negotiating the price.""And Alex?""His trial will be hold after the holiday."Everything seemed to go well according to the plan. It did, though. Still, something else must have happened outside it. Something we hardly calculated.Foster's movements."Tina?""She was arrested for the kidnapping atte

    RUBYThe next day, it was finally my turn to visit Wyatt. I came with Helen and Austin. However, she made my son wait with her for Allan's arrival on the lobby. It was to give me alone time with Wyatt, she said, and I couldn't be more thankful to her."Hi." My voice was cracking. Watching Wyatt lying on the hospital bed with many tubes inserted to his body and cables connected to medic equipments to monitor his vitals. It was a painful sight, tearing me inside out.But I had to keep going. As painful as the sight hurt me, I had to be his reason to survive. So I forced my steps forward, aprroaching me with tears starting to fall down.I took the chair next to his bed, holding his left hand, where it had the least things attached. Doctor said his right arm was broken.I moved forward and placed his palm on my cheek. It was warm.He was alive."I'm here, honey, so open your eyes. I want to see them, honey. Please." My tears were pouring, wetting his hand but I refused to let it go. "Our

    RUBYNo.No way.I couldn't be happened.Wyatt couldn't be injured and bleeding.No way.However, as much as I affirmed myself with those words, the reality struck me and tossed me to the deepest hole. Wyatt was hurt and unconscious."What happened?" It was Mom's voice.But I couldn't bring my head up. All I saw was bloodstain on my hands.It was Wyatt's.No.I wasn't sure for how long I stayed like this, stunned and disconnected. I only knew that my son was safe in Mom and Dad's hands so I could focus on regaining everything.I gulped as my sight became more blurry from tears. It had been blurred the moment I saw Wyatt's body lying helplessly on the road. But now, I could not hold it any longer.A hand landed on my shoulder, forcing me to divert my focus from my agony to the person, whose look as despairing as me. Mom."Austin is in William's hand. You can cry now."And it was the button. The despairing sobs escaped my throat uncontrollably. I broke off.I was crying in her arms, let

    WYATT[Austin and I are in the company. We're in the lobby.]I was initially confused getting such a message. Did I misread it? Which company did she mean? And most importantly, was the sender really Ruby?But, I didn't misread her text, and it was indeed from Ruby, my love. So, did it mean she was here?I shifted my attention from the presentation ahead--we were in the middle of a meeting--to Ron, who seemed to feel my need as he turned toward me as well. So I motioned with my head to get closer. "Check if Ruby and Austin are in the lobby." I said barely whispering as not to disturb the meeting.Ron nodded and quickly left his spot. And in less than five minutes, he returned with a confirmation. "A woman named Ruby with a boy came to the receptionist and asked for you. So I told her to grant them access."My mood, which had been better since I read her message, lit up more. It seemed that this dull meeting room didn't matter anymore because I knew Ruby and Austin would greet me as so

    RUBY"If you and Uncle Wyatt are good now, that means he can be my daddy, can't he, Mommy?"I was stunned at my son's question. He specifically used 'daddy' in his words, meaning he understood how Wyatt stood in our life. Wyatt wasn't merely an uncle to him.I caressed his cheek with my thumb. "Do you want him to be your daddy, hm?" This should have eased my way to explain our future life with Wyatt to him. Still, I found myself surprised at it.Austin bobbed his head, not only a nod. He seemed enthutiastic to this idea. "Uncle Wyatt said he could be my daddy if I helped him win your heart, Mommy."So this was the reason. Turned out, Wyatt had planted the idea from long ago. "He did?""Yes.""And you followed his words?""Yes, Mommy.""Why?"Okay. I understood he craved for a father in his life. But why did he choose Wyatt out of people?Austin hummed, thinking before coming up with an unexpected reply a moment later. "He cares for you, Mommy. And he promised to make you happy and me,
