RUBBY'S POV

"Where is the room?" He asked.

"You were walking so bold as though you know where it was," I shot at him.

"Over there," I said pointing towards the direction of my room.

Minutes later, I shifted uncomfortably on the couch, hugging a pillow to my chest as I tried to find a position that didn’t make my back ache. This was a terrible idea.

From across the room, I could hear Alex sigh dramatically from the bed.

"Rubby, come on. The bed is big enough for both of us."

I rolled my eyes, even though he couldn’t see me in the dim light. "I’m fine here."

"No, you’re not," he countered. "You’ve turned about a hundred times in the past five minutes."

I pursed my lips, refusing to answer.

"You’re being ridiculous," he continued. "It’s just a bed. It’s not like I bite."

I scoffed. "I wouldn’t be so sure about that."

He chuckled. "Okay, you got me. But only when invited."

"Alex!" I threw a pillow in his direction, but he only laughed harder.

"Fine, fine. Stay on the couch if you want,

    RUBBY'S POV "I'll be expecting you guys," he said and rushed out. We didn't have time to ask what was wrong; we just hoped it was for good."What was that?" Alex asked immediately he was out of sight."Do you see the way he looks at you? Why did.....urghh! Rubby.""You're so jealous," I said laughing."It's not funny," Alex answered and made funny faces."He still has a soft spot for you, don't you see?""I don't see," I answered feigning ignorance."You better don't. You're mine alone."I had barely rested for a few hours before I found myself asking Alex for something that made him grumble."Can we go see them now?""Rubby, you just woke up. You need to rest.""Baby but I'm fine," I answered as calmly as possible. "I just want to see the boy, I owe them that, don't you think?"He looked at me for some time with eyes full of concern. I knew he wanted to protect me like a fragile glass door, but he wouldn't refuse me anything."Fine," he rolled his eyes. "If the nurse says you are re

    Chapter 190RUBBY"Rubby, Rubby," I heard Alex's voice faintly. We stood close to each other but I felt he was meters apart."Al.....Alex," I managed to whisper and everything turned black.I woke up moments later on a white bed. My eyelids were heavy, but I forced them open, blinking against the soft light above me.For a few seconds, I couldn't tell where I was; until I heard Alex's voice."Baby you're awake."I turned my head slowly and saw him seated on a chair close to my hospital bed."What happened?" I whispered."Thank God," he muttered and wrapped his hand around mine."You collapsed, the drug didn't wear off completely the first time.""Oh, That," I exclaimed and racked through my brain. I knew I was forgetting something, yet I couldn't place my hands on it."Is it the chairman?" Alex asked. "Yeah," I nodded. "Is he okay?""He's fine," Alex replied and shook his head."What is it?" I became concerned."Why are you so kind? You didn't even bother to check if your baby is fin

    ALEXANDER'S POV I clenched my Jaw thinking about the mistake I had just made. I would have stayed with her. But still, what would I have done knowing fully well that the chairman needed my help desperately.I took one look at him and shook my head. Emily had overstepped, and I wouldn't let it slide. But then, how was she able to get both the chairman and his lawyer."Fuck," I said and ran my hand through my hair. "It's my fault now, If I had listened to her, she wouldn't be in this situation.""You better shut the fuck up and save your strength," One of the men said."Say one more word to me and we will both roll down that cliff!" I fired back.Soon, I heard the sound of a car pulling up a few meters away from where I stood, and when the occupants of the car stepped out, my whole body froze."No, no, no, Rubby," I called."Stay back!" That same man shouted with his gun cocked now.I watched in horror as she was led to the scene unconscious.Her body was still limp from the effect of

    JOSH'S POV "Fuck!' I slammed my hand on the steering wheel countless times after my mom had dropped the call.I called back almost immediately, but it just rang, and nobody picked up."Can't you see the traffic light!" Someone shouted, and I had to pull quickly to a stop. My heart kept hammering loudly, I thought it might explode.Finally, I found my way to the penthouse and quickly ran to the door, but it was locked.I slammed my fist with a force I didn't know I had."Rubby!" I roared, fear engulfing me. I knew my mother was not such a good person, but I never believed she was this horrible."Rubby!" I screamed again, slamming my hands and foot on the door, yet no response."The back door," I muttered. Stupid of me not to have thought about that since. I ran towards the back door, and just like I predicted, it was ajar.I stumbled inside with my heart pounding like a drum.The room was so neat that for a second I doubted if Rubby had been there. I looked around the room till my ey

    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,
