“Believe me, Dominic, the child is yours,” I pleaded, my voice low with desperation. “How can I believe you?” he questioned condescendingly. “You married me for money even though I was impotent, and now you’re saying you’re pregnant for me? If you’re going to lie, at least make it believable.” “I’m not lying, Dominic. I care about you,” I begged, my voice trembling. I reached out to hold his arm, but he flinched away. “This is probably some plan to tie me down, but it won't work. That baby is not mine! You and I both know I can’t have children. Just pack your things and leave my house. Here are the divorce papers,” he said, flinging them on the bed before walking out. I crumbled onto the ground, feeling the immense pain of his rejection and distrust. Ruby’s life fell apart when she got pregnant for her contract husband, who is impotent. She tried to prove her innocence to the billionaire, but he didn’t believe her and divorced her. Even worse, this man wasn’t just the father of her baby but also the father of the daughter she had through artificial insemination. Two months later, Ruby showed up at her ex-husband’s company, announced as one of the major shareholders. This time, she was back stronger than before. Having inherited her stepfather’s wealth, Ruby returned as a billionaire and swore that Dominic, her ex-husband, would not come near her child. But everything was different when she returned. She found Dominic regretful and remorseful. Not only that, she was now wanted by another man, a hot billionaire who was the talk of the town. Will she forgive Dominic, or will she explore the new love coming her way?

I said."Alright, sir," he replied, and I hung up.I picked up one of the transfer forms my account manager had given me and quickly filled it in. Soon, Zeus entered the office, and I stretched it out to him. “Take this to the bank and tell my account manager to authorize the transfer immediately. We don’t have time to waste.” My voice was firm but laced with underlying panic. I had no idea what Matt was capable of anymore. I needed to get the girl from him as soon as possible.Zeus nodded, his face as serious as mine. "I'll get it done, boss." He turned on his heel and left, his phone already in hand, probably calling the ma
Dominic's POVRuby began to speak, her voice trembling like a leaf in a storm. "You know Oliver Gustavo handed over his shares to me, right?"I nodded, my mind racing to keep up. "Yea I know; that’s why you're in my company.""Well...he has a son." She dragged on."A son?" I asked, shocked. I had no idea Oliver had a son. Despite everything Zeus and the investigator checked they didn’t find out about any son."Yes, a son.” She replied, nodding her head. “He called me, threatening me to return his father's shares and properties to him. He threatened to hurt Emma." Tears rolled down her face. "I went to Oliver, I wanted to return everything to Oliver, but he
Dominic's POV"Dominic, we need to talk..." Ruby's voice trembled through the phone, each word soaked with desperation and fear."Why...what's happening?" I asked, shocked. Why was she crying?"Where are you?" I asked when she didn’t answer my previous question, but kept sobbing into the phone. From the sound of her sobs it was obvious she was sobbing furiously and shaking extremely."Do you need me to come get you?" I asked, bothered with her silence."No...I'm on my way to the office," she said, and worry immediately gnawed at my belly."You're driving and crying?" Panic pitted and surged in my belly as I wondered what could be going on with her.My fingers pressed the red button, ending the call. I needed her to focus on driving safely.My fingers tapped incessantly on my desk, my heart beating rapidly in my chest. What's gotten into her? What could make a woman cry this much?My mind paced, racing with several scenarios. And then it hit me!Justin!… my eyes widened in realization
Ruby's POV. The house was finally quiet. Ethan and I had just put Emma and the baby boy to bed, their soft, even breaths the only sounds filling the room. We walked downstairs, and I felt a fleeting sense of peace wash over me, if only for a moment. "Thanks for helping out today, Ethan," I said, offering a tired but genuine smile as we settled onto the worn blue couch. "It's no problem, Ruby." He smiled, his dimples deepening in that endearing way. "You know I enjoy spending time with the kids," he replied, his eyes warm and sincere. We sat in a comfortable silence for a few moments before Ethan broke it. "I was thinking... maybe we could have lunch tomorrow? Just you and me. It'd be nice." I hesitated, my mind a whirlwind of reasons to decline. With everything happening, I couldn't afford distractions. I liked the calmness and the simplicity between us. I didn’t want any complications. "I don't know, Ethan..." I trailed off, trying to let him down gently. "There's just so m
Ruby's POV I parked my car and stepped out, sipping my juice as I tried to calm my racing thoughts. Just as I took another sip, a large figure suddenly blocked my path. I paused, looking up to see a towering man standing in front of me, his huge frame casting an imposing shadow over me like a dark omen. "Excuse me," I said, trying to sidestep him, but he mirrored my movement, blocking my way again. His presence was suffocating, his eyes boring into mine with an intensity that made my skin crawl. I moved away again, trying to pass another side, but he mirrored my movement yet again. My confusion quickly turned to irritation, then fear. "Who are you?" I asked, my voice trembling despite my attempt to sound strong. He ignored my question, his intense gaze fixed on me like a predator eyeing its prey. I tried to move again, but he grabbed my shoulders, steadying me with a grip that felt like iron shackles. His hands were calloused, rough to the touch, and a thick scar r
Dominic's POV Zeus stood before me, gently rolling up his sleeves to elbow level as he spoke. As a friend and worker, Zeus had gotten oddly comfortable with me, however, I liked how he still balanced professional and friend boundaries. “The investigator didn't find anything, Dominic. Oliver Gustavo’s records are clean. No shady dealings, no hidden agendas.” I clenched my jaw tightly as a surge of suspicion rose within me. “Keep looking,” I ordered, my voice cold and firm. “There’s something off about this guy, and I want to know what it is.” Zeus sighed, clearly unconvinced. “I don’t think there’s anything shady about Gustavo. The investigator went through everything and it all checks out.” I shook my head, frustration mounting. “I don’t care what you think! Get another private investigator on this. I want Gustavo’s activities watched around the clock. Everything he does should be reported to me, I need to know when he misses a breath, when he meets a new woman or whe
