Valentine's Vows; Love, Lies And A Fake Engagement Chapter 187
RUBBY'S POV "Hey son," she repeated. The voice was unmistakably Mrs Emily's.Then who was with the chairman? Where was Alex? I knew she had a plan all along, I never knew it was to move Alex out of the house so that she could harm me."Mom?" Josh's voice broke "Yes son, how is it going over there?" She replied casually as though nothing serious was happening."Mrs Emily," I whispered, though my voice barely made it past my lips. "Why.....?""Hey pretty, surprised?" She smiled. No, not smile, her lips curved into a twisted devilish grin."Don't do that, Mom, don't hurt that girl; she did nothing to you!" Josh screamed."What do you know Josh? Isn't it your third legs the only thing controlling you?" She smiled at me again. "You would have begged him not to leave the house; oh, how would he feel when he comes back and meets you lying in the pool of your own blood, just the way Kevin lay the other day?"My knees grew weak. I knew I should do something, maybe run, maybe hit her, just do

RUBBY'S POV The door slammed shut behind him and my legs gave away immediately.I had thought all these were over, what on earth was still happening? What did that deadly woman want?I stood for some seconds frozen and staring at the door handle, hoping, praying and wishing that Alex would come back safe and sound for me and my baby. I knew Mrs Emily had other plans, I just didn't know what it was.I forced my trembling hand to lock every bolt on the front door before hurrying to the windows to shut the curtains as well as secure the latches.Throughout the whole time, my hand kept trembling, my breathing was shallow, and even my palms were sweaty; I just knew something was wrong.A thought hit me, how about I call Josh and inform him of what his mother was about to do? Or wait? Did he know? Were they partners?"No," I shook my head. I had just heard his mother say that he had turned against her.I quickly reached for my phone and dialled Josh's number with shaky fingers; thankfully,

ALEXANDER'S POV "I can see a bump," I muttered when I had successfully undressed her."Alex!" She exclaimed and burst out laughing, "There is no bump; I'm bloated, maybe.""It's a bump, look at it," I added."It's not even up to a month, that's not a bump," she laughed.I knew there was no bump, I only wanted to hear her laugh. Who would have believed that hours ago I was boiling in rage?"Come here," I whispered and took her lips in mine. She stood her her toes till I had to carry her into the bathroom.The water in the bathtub was hot, just as Rubby had demanded.I massaged her shoulders gently while fighting the urge to just get into her already."Baby," she called sweetly."Yeah?" I muttered "Nobody will ever take your place, can you stop doubting me already?"I stayed mute for some time, processing what she had just said; I didn't realise that was what my act had meant."I do trust you, babe; I just felt my heart burn when you hugged him; I mean, you should only hug me.""Yes,

ALEXANDER'S POV Josh insisted on relocating with Annie after the whole drama died down. I couldn't stop him, he needed it. His mother was in prison, and his only brother was dead.My mother left too, promising to come back any time I forgave her. Well, one thing I was sure of was that she would be in attendance on my wedding day.It was a new day, the 14th of February. The day my future will be sealed, both in business and in Love.Late the previous day, The chairman had signed the ownership to me, including his shares.That morning, the room was a flurry of activities. My stylist adjusted my tie for the third time, and the event coordinator kept reciting the program line by line.I looked at the full-length mirror. Of course, Rubby had no choice but to fall in love with a handsome dude like me. I wore a navy blue tuxedo with a white shirt. My pocket square was folded to perfection, I looked every inch the CEO of Wolfe's incorporation.My mind drifted to Rubby, I had prepared a surp

RUBBY'S POV Alex bit his teeth hard as Josh walked away. Were they really even? So Mrs. Laura will go Scott free? I thought to myself.We waited for Nolan. Surprisingly, I was no longer mad at him; I just wanted him to survive and serve his term. The waiting room was so silent that even Alex had not said anything still.I sat stiffly on the chair there, my hand still had dried blood on it. Nolan's blood, just the same way Trisha's blood had stained my hand then.I shuddered at the thought. Aside from our beef because of Nolan, she was a sweet girl.Alex paced a few feet away, with his hands in his pocket. He had not spoken since Josh left. I wondered what could be running in his head, but I allowed him to grieve. Kevin was his brother too. No matter what, he was family with them, regardless of how they painted it. A lot has happened in a month and few days, but I had a strong feeling that this was all. We were finally going to stay in peace.My mind drifted to the last-minute drama

RUBBY'S POV My eyes widened in Horror. "It's your fault," she whispered.Everything happened in seconds. The sound of a gunshot shattered the silence one more time.One second, I was staring at Emily's burning eyes, and the next second, Nolan dived in front of me and took the bullet instead."No!" I screamed as the bullet pierced into him. From where Alex stood, I saw dread, raw fear in his eyes. He must have thought I was the one with the way he turned to Kevin's mom.Nolan hit the ground hard and the gun he held slipped away and clattered across the driveway.I stopped breathing for a second; my lungs were frozen, and so was my heart. For a moment the world stopped.Emily trembled as she turned to Kevin's direction. Her mouth parted but she couldn't form a word. The gun she held fell from her hand and hit the pavement with a soft thud.Everywhere became so quiet."Nolan," I said breathlessly, dropping to my knees beside him. "Stay with me," I begged. "Look at me, don't close them y
