View Morethe vital monitor was beeping continuously, making an unusually disturbing sound. The lifeless body of the woman laid on the hospital bed was completely unconscious. Her arms and chest were invaded by all kinds of IV needles and electrodes. She was kept on an continuous oxygen support as her SPO2 kept dropping gradually. The group of doctors in white coats, standing beside her bed were making calculative assumptions about her. The expressions on their faces clearly indicating about how hopeless they were about her survival. All this while a teenage girl was standing against the glass wall, looking rather desperate as her eyes were fixed on the poor woman. Her chocolate brown, wavy hair reaching the mid of her back were sprayed loosely on her shoulders. Her sterling gray eyes were brimmed up with salty tears as she looked distressed. Her young face looked rather messy with eye bags and flushed cheeks.
Her attention averted when she saw the doctors coming out of the room. Wiping her tears with the back of her hand, she rubbed them again with her untidy dress in nervousness.
The doctors looked at each other in confusion as it seemed rather difficult for them to break the news to a eighteen year old girl about her dying mother.
"Miss Ruby!" The doctor named Bhumesh Kumar, as mentioned on his badge, stepped forward.
She hated the look they were giving her. Pity in their eyes for her, but why?
"I assume that you're already aware that your mother has Angina pectoris" he emphasized on each word slowly.
She knew it when her mother got that horrible disease. She just hit her teenage when her mother suffered her first heart attack.
Samantha tried her best to hide it from Ruby but failed in end. Ruby got to knew about Samantha's state when she was suffering her second heart attack in the middle of the night. She still got shivers when she remembers those sleepless nights, how much pain Samantha suffered only Ruby knew after her father died.
"Yes I'm aware" she replied painfully.
"After the third heart attack, your mother's heart has been affected to an extent of 90 percent. And we're afraid that her heart has almost failed which leads to an tragic mishap" he tried not to look in the eye when the last words skipped out of his mouth.
But his words already pierced through her ear.
"Can you not do something for my mother? Try to save her, it's all in your hands. Just do what you can" she tried to sound compose and calm as her voice was at the verge of breaking.
"Miss Ruby! You need to understand that your hospital bills are already on pending and your mother's condition is very fragile, a transplant might save her but it costs 1.6 million dollars. And even after that, chances are very few that she will be able to live a normal life" he stated facts cautiously, trying his best not to sound rather rude.
"Thankyou" the only word she uttered, which hardly reached their ears.
"We're really sorry for your loss" he gave her another look of sympathy and walked away, as the others followed him behind.
Her only world was crashing before her eyes nad she couldn't do anything to save it.
Only if her father had not died that day and her mother hadn't took her husband's death so close to heart that her own heart gave up in end and she became a prey of this disease.
No matter how much she resisted for the heartbreaking news not to overcome her but she failed miserably. Her entire being was shook badly. She was falling, in tiny bit of pieces and it was agonizing.
She glanced at her mother again with teary eyes. It was heart wrenching to lose her like this. She couldn't do anything. Wrapping her arms around herself, she comforted herself. She turned around and picking her bag from the chair, she headed out of the hospital to home.
She needed to find a way, she couldn't let her die like this. She was sobbing silently in her own world as she crossed the hospital lobby, stepping towards the exit.
She wasn't looking up, drenched in her own sorrow she didn't realized the person coming her way.
And just like that she bumped into a hard chest, which more felt like a stone wall to her as her head started hurting badly. Reflexively she fell on her back to the floor, hurting her elbow badly. Her fragile skin started bleeding from the cut caused by it.
It was when in anger she looked up to look at her destructor. With a flustered face, she tried to give him the most horrible expression.
But when her eyes searched his face, her instincts screamed that she was at wrong place and everything seemed to blur around her.
His steel like gaze, boring heated holes in her entire being, made her shiver under his gaze. His stubble beard and chiseled rectangular jaw was perfect like a Greek god. Long height and broad shoulders covered her small body in his casting shadow. His opulent suite fit him like a second skin.
But horrendous aura and dreadful expression was dominating on her like no other.
In horror, she tried to stand up. She kept her gaze low not daring to look at him again.
"I'm sorry! It's my fault, I wasn't looking" she apologized meekly and found herself almost running from the spot.

But he couldn't look away from her untill she disappeared behind the glass doors. As if he remembered her face from somewhere.
"Joseph run a check up on her and report me" he ordered plainly to his assistant who stood beside him like another shadow on command.
He wanted to confirm his suspicions, she didn't looked ordinary.
Those sterling gray orbs, heart shaped face, and brown locks, he was sure that he had seen them somewhere before.
"Yes sir" he replied obediently.
Turning around his branded shoes he went inside the office to meet hospital's manager.
Dawson Wayans, a well known reputed name in the city of Manchester. Everyone knew his name like a chant. He was the legal and sole heir of Dawson enterprises. All the inherited business from his father and seven years of blood and sweat enabled him to make his own empire. His only family was his young brother Jason who was studying in Australia.
After analyzing the record of donations until the past year, he ended the meeting.
Walking towards his car, his driver opened the door and he sat in. The driver closed the door of black Mercedes as from the other side, his assistant joined him.
"Sir I've got all the information on her" Joseph motioned the iPad towards him.

She closed the door shut and leaned on it, breathing heavily. She had been running on the footpath after escaping a burglar, who tried to snatch her purse on the bus. Luckily she was saved.
"That was scary" she whispered to herself in between her breaths.Thefts, housebreaking etc were common in that old building and areas surrounding it. But poor people and low budget, they couldn't afford a better apartment than this one.
She looked at her elbow, rolling her sleeve up. The blood already clotted, leaving it dry and scaly. But it was still hurting though.
She went into the washroom and took out the first aid kit from the bathroom cabinet.
Sitting on the edge of bed, she took out alcohol cleaner on the cotton swab. Then she gently pressed it against the wound, cleaning it and hissing in pain throughout.
"It hurts like fracture" complained to the dark room.
After applying the ointment, wrapped the cotton bandage around it. Then she got up and took off her dirty dress above her head.
As her eyes were set on nothing particular, the sight glaring at her back, in the wall mirror in front of her caught her attention.
A slim and skinny body, wearing pink panties and lace bustier top, with a tired face was looking at her.
"I lost so much weight and I didn't realized" she admitted to the empty room.
Her eyes roamed all over her body and then her eyes fixed on something.
Another bruise! Her butt was covered in a red mark.
"Oh I must have got it when I bumped into that weird man!" She remembered.
She grabbed the ointment again from the kit and started rubbing it lightly on it. She always envied those supermodels and actresses which got such a spotless and shining body.
But whatever she was not a supermodel or it's like someone gonna see her covered skinny body, she thought gloomily.
"I've got more serious things to worry about rather than this stupid shit" she told herself in the mirror, staring right into her gray eyes.
She needed to think about something as soon as possible to save her mother.
"hello Ruby, I just wanted to see. And Simon was also missing his mother." Amber came in and sat beside her. "Can you give him to me?" She asked Amber as her heart overflowed with emotions of holding her baby. Amber gave Simon into her lap. Simon pulled on her white dress as he cooed. She placed kisses on his cheek and forehead. She spend some time with Simon when a female waiter came inside to inform her that it's the time now, everyone is waiting for bride. The words gave her goosebumps and she was finding energy within herself to get up and go with them. She knew she can't step back now, guests were there, Smith was waiting for her but Simon was sitting in her lap which was halting her steps. But before she could say anything, Amber picked up Simon from her lap. "I think it's the time, let's go! Guests must be waiting. Simon already told me to bring you out but I forgot while talking" sister Amelia stood and made her stand too. She picked up the fresh bouquet of roses which s
She was accompanied by the girls as she got out of the salon. The driver opened the car door for her and she sat in. It was not same car and it was beautiful decorated with purple tulips too. She admired it for a few seconds and then sat right in. She didn't even look at herself for long in the mirror. She didn't know how she was looking, either a beautiful bride or just an average one. The girls waved her as the driver drove the car out of the place. She knew where they were heading. She was going to marry Smith, it was her wedding day. When that ring on her finger will officially make her his wife. It was painful as if constantly burning in anguish. She wanted to cry so bad, wanted someone to lend her a shoulder but none, there was no one to accompany her of share her pain. She was silent through out the way. It was very long drive until she reached the venue. And sister Amelia recieved her. The mansion which was especially arranged for the guests and bride, Sister Amelia took h
He came back home and on his way to his study, he grabbed a bottle of beer from the kitchen cabinet. Shutting the door with force, he sat down on the floor against it and took out the cork. Pressing it against his mouth, he drank the sour, bitter liquid as if water. Beer was always some energy drink to him. And now that he was down, feeling low, he was sure that it can help him. He tore the shirt apart he was wearing, as the buttons flew away far. The wound was hurting real bad, as he looked at the freshly done bandage. She touched him while wearing that ring! He was so pissed at the moment that he didn't cared about his wound and took off that bandage immediately. Now only the cotton was stick against because of the sticky ointment. He laid down and closed his eyes. He won't let her marry him, he promised himself as he repeated the words against his lips. "I won't let him touch you, you're only mine" he whispered to himself, to the dark, empty room with half closed eyes. Half
Despite loathing him, he had to send the invitation to Dawson at the very moment. He called Velvet and asked her to send one at his address too. Ruby remained silent through out the way, as the feelings were overwhelming for her and she felt vulnerable. The way he looked her with those sharp eyes made her feel so many things. Fear, love, jealousy, happiness, there was so much in his eyes. The way he looked at her made her feel scared of him. It was in a while that he horrified her. Smith dropped her home and leaned in to place a kiss on her cheek. She barely smiled to him. "Are you feeling unwell?" He asked her, extremely suspicious of her behavior after meeting Dawson. "Yeah fine, just feeling feverish" she replied, rubbing her forehead. "Let's go to hospital then" he suggested, concerned about her. "No I'm fine, I'll take a tablet and it'll be over within a day" she replied and tried to open the car door. He wanted to ask her what was wrong with his rush but didn't stop her w
It was few days after, when he got discharged from the hospital and he was well to go home. Joseph was in office, so Jason accompanied him and took him home. He felt relieved after spending such a long time in hospital. The doctor strictly advised him to get his wounds dressing done daily. He assured him but he knew better that he going to take off the bandages in a few days by himself. He has suffered deeper pain that this bullet wound. He was so eager through out these days that Ruby will once visit him. But when she didn't came, he realized that already knew that he was conscious now, maybe from Joseph and now she'll not face him. He went home and met Simon first. He kissed his son and hugged him lightly. He missed him most of all. Simon seemed to more grown up in the past few weeks. Jason helped him to get into his room as he could walk easily now. He went into his room to change his clothes while Amber was preparing a good lunch for them. Jason adored Simon so much, so he sat
"so she is getting married?" Dawson confirmed in a low voice. "Yeah that's what she told me" Joseph replied. "To Smith? She must be happy then" he said again, a hint of disappointment visible in his voice. "Seems so, yesterday I saw them shopping for their wedding in the mall. She looked happy" he told him, remembering when he went to dinner with a client. "I think you should know that she asked for Simon's custody" Joseph wanted to bring in this matter into his knowledge. "Yeah I heard it too. But that's fine that you denied her. I can't give Simon away to her even if she begs for it. He is my only son and I want to provide him every Luxury. He's my heir" he said proudly, with a straight face. "Sure I guess you've already met Jason then. He arrived the day you got shot" he asked. "Yeah he came before you. He has changed alot. He is insisting on living here now as he's graduated now" he said with a worried face. "Maybe you should let me, you both brother can run the company be
