RUBBY'S POV

"What!" I exclaimed, staring at Josh, while my heart pounded.

This was the least of the things I wanted to hear now.

"Another condition please," I pouted my lips and joined my palm.

He didn't say a word, he just shook his head in response.

My whole being screamed at me to refuse, but the more I thought about it, the more guilt I felt.

He had helped me, given me a place to stay and even believed me, yet all I've ever done was think the worst of him. Maybe, I thought, I could use this way to apologise.

"Josh," I called out gently.

He raised an eyebrow. "What are you scared of? I've got a balloon bed; I could use it while you use the other one. I just want your company tonight. I'm not a bad person I swear, but if you insist, I won't force you."

I bit my lower lips as he spoke. He looked so vulnerable at that point that I was torn between caution and pity.

"Separate beds?" I said to be completely sure.

"I promise."

I took a deep breath, then nodded in agreement. "Okay, just

    RUBBY'S POV "Your parents are here," the nurse informed us. We all sat in the chairman's room waiting for him to wake up."Dad!" I shouted and ran to hug him."Of course, I expected that. Spoilt daddy's girl," Mom said with jealousy."Oh, come on, Mum, I would hug you too."Her eyes were clouded already."I miss you," I whimpered and melted into her open arms."Hope you are not hurt?" She asked and touched my stomach."And my son, I hope he is not hurt.""No, she's not hurt," my father and Alex said in union."What!" I exclaimed and burst out laughing. It lightened the mood in the room, and for a second we were out of chaos."He's a boy," Mom argued."I want a girl too." We all froze. Slowly we turned to see the chairman smiling. "Here," his lawyer whispered and helped him sit up."So the men win," Alex shouted, and they all burst out laughing. --Hours later--The drive to the national hospital was interesting.While Alex drove, Dad sat with the chairman, and I sat in the centre,

    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
