Chapter 1 - My World was Shattered

5 YEARS AGORUBYI couldn't believe what I was seeing.No.It should be: I hoped this would never happen. The sight in front of me wasn't real. That half-naked man wasn't my husband, and there was no half-naked woman in the same room with him."Listen, honey. Nothing happened. I don't know how Tina is here."My sight was blurry as I looked at Wyatt, the man of my life, and I soon felt tears rained down my cheeks. I hoped what he said was true. But these... everything told me the opposite.How could I believe a man and a woman stayed the night together and, half-naked, were doing nothing?I wasn't stupid. The picture was clear in my head. They were having sex.I heard Tina chuckle, but I didn't dare to look at her. It was too painful just to see my husband, yet his mistress.His mistress?I should have known it was coming. A lot of women wanted to be a billionaire's wife."I swear, honey. Nothing happened between us." Wyatt said again, and I felt numb already. It hurt, and I couldn't t

Chapter 2 - Reunion

RUBY"Here is the last order. This one for... Betty Hunter." I said as I placed the cake that I just finished decorating on the counter. It was a mid-size cake in broken white and simple decoration."Wow. Well done, Ruby. This is so beautiful." Judy, the woman standing at the counter, replied. She was the one assigned to deal with customer and their order."Simple is always the best." I winked before glancing at the clock on the wall. "Oh, it's already eleven. I have to go." I made a quick turn back to the kitchen while untying my apron."Is it fried rice today?"I could merely hear Judy's voice because the thin wall had separated us already. "Yes. And an omelet. He loves omelets." I couldn't help a smile from tugging on my lips saying that. Talking about him always warmed my heart."It must be delicious. I could smell it." Rita chimed in from the kitchen, making me shift my body toward her. She was working on a batch of cookies, placing them one by one to bake them later. Meanwhile,

Chapter 3 - It was Her

WYATT"I don't understand why you're so obsessed with this place," I said after kicking the car door closed. I then followed Kevin, who was already leading the way toward the daycare center with a box in his hands. Inside were children's books we would deliver to every child at the daycare center.I wouldn't have been here if I hadn't lost the damn bet. And it was all Kevin's idea."Didn't we meet them yesterday? Don't you think they're adorable?" He responded with a question instead of answering my complaint.Okay. This was the second day I was here after he dragged me here and made me do a volunteer job to play around with the children. They were indeed adorable. But my question wasn't about them. It was Kevin's motive that intrigued me."I saw you playing well with George, Martha, Austin, and others." He continued."Don't change the topic."He laughed, which convinced me more that he had an agenda behind this scheme. "You should familiarize yourself with children." He talked about

Chapter 4 - He is My Son

WYATTI watched the interaction of those two people sitting under the tree from my place: Ruby and Austin. One is a woman in my life, and the other one is...Those clear blue eyes...The age...Is he my son?"Here," Kevin said beside me as he thrust a paper bag as well as an envelope.My forehead creased not for the paper bag because I knew he had bought lunch for me but for the envelope. "What is it?""Information." He replied while gesturing with his chin in Ruby's direction. "About your son."My brows furrowed more. My son? It only meant that he already knew this all along. "When did you know? And why didn't you tell me?" I asked, my voice was firm at the sudden anger coursing throughout my body.But what made me angry, actually? Was it really because he just told me now? Shouldn't I be grateful, then? Or not, I wouldn't know at all.He raised both hands in surrender. "Calm down, Wyatt. I'm on your side. I also found out about him recently."Did I believe him?Well, it wasn't the

Chapter 5 - Superman

RUBY "Hello, Austin. Can I join?" I grunted inwardly at that question. Wyatt already got the ticket, so of course, he would come. Austin nodded, and I was tempted to coax him to change his mind. But then I must remind myself I was the one giving approval. Taking it back would need a logical reason, which I couldn't find at the moment. Wyatt sat on the empty space opposite me and on the other side of my son. He looked at Austin, and somehow, I felt the odd way he did that. He seemed like someone was longing and in pain. Also, I spotted happiness as well as love. Did he really know? "Do you like the book?" He started the conversation. Austin nodded again, this time more enthusiastically. "Yes. I love Superman." "Do you want to be a Superman?" My son tilted his head up so the two most beautiful blue eyes I knew met. "Mommy said, as long as I'm being a good boy and good to friends, teachers, and others, I'm a Superman." His eyes blinked twice after he said that, making

Chapter 6 - In Action

WYATTShe was so beautiful.No.She is always beautiful, whether now or years ago when I first met her. It seemed all these years did not change her beauty at all. And if it was, it merely added more. She is beautiful but in a more mature way.However, her beauty wasn't the only thing I loved about Ruby. She is a fantastic woman with a caring and loving personality. And I knew she would be a good mother someday, which I finally witnessed."Are you going to see her leaving like that?"Kevin's question rang in my head as the memory of yesterday's event kept flashing like a movie. From the moment he first brought me to the daycare center, I met my son for the first time and saw the mother of my son till I had to let Ruby go after my attempt to fix everything failed.I sighed as I leaned my head on the chair. Ruby refused to listen to me, not even let me finish my explanation. I knew the incident hurt her deeply, and whatever excuses I had, it wouldn't make sense. I was drugged, and Tina

Chapter 7 - The Deal

RUBYI couldn't believe this. Wyatt was coming here and, without shame, asking my employee for me. And what did he call me? His soulmate? Unbelievable!And it was more difficult to believe he was really waiting for me. He did not show his presence directly, but he came back from time to time and made sure everyone in the store knew he was watching me.Oh, God!"His car is still here," Judy reported when I walked out of the kitchen to deliver a fresh batch of cookies. "It's been three hours, and he's still here."I glanced outside—we have a big window and glass door that showed a view of the street—and confirmed her words. Wyatt's car was here, meaning he was still inside the cafe or nearby place in this downtown area."Maybe he has a meeting with someone." I tried not to sound concerned and proceeded to place cookies on the display."Didn't he say he's waiting for you?" Rita joined with another batch in her hands. There was more in the kitchen and macaron, too."Right. He kept asking

Chapter 8 - Her Number

WYATT The past two days were wonderful. The daycare center, Ruby's bakery, and their house... Despite Ruby's constant rejection, I cherished the moments I spent with the two most important people in my life. Yes. Ruby had always become the first, and now I had Austin. It was like my life couldn't be more perfect. Except for the fact they weren't officially mine, and I just got the moment now. Thinking of it now made me regret the decision to let Ruby go. I should have tried harder to hold her. But it was my only choice back then when I saw her pain. I loved her so much that I couldn't bear to see her hurt, even if it was never true. "Wyatt. What are you doing here?" Helen looked surprised after finding me outside her apartment building. As much as I loved being around Ruby and Austin, I had to return to New York after spending a nice dinner at their house. I had to return to my life as Logan. And the first thing I did was v

Chapter 9 - The Call

WYATTI threw my body to the sofa quite hard as a long, heavy sigh escaped my lips. It was past seven in the evening, and I just returned from a late meeting. After this, I had to read the material for the next morning's meeting.Yeah, as the executive, I could do that during the meeting. But I wanted to cut the crap and get the point quick. I had a lot to do so that I could drive to Ruby and spend the weekend with my son.It was indeed exhausting. But did I have a choice?I took out my phone and immediately called Ruby. But, of course, she wouldn't pick up. She might block my number for real as she never replied to messages, either. Poor me.However, I didn't give up. I forced myself to get up and walk to the phone on my desk. I had never tried calling Ruby on the company number, so I hoped she would pick up."Hello. Who's this?" I was surprised when another voice greeted me.But then, a smile appeared on my lips. It must be Austin. "Is it Austin?" I tal

Chapter 10 - The Visit

RUBYI always love his parents.They welcomed me the first time I met them, saying I was the daughter they had been longing for. And they treated me so well that even when I jokingly made complaints about their son, they scolded Wyatt instead. They also encouraged me to pursue my dream so that if I wasn't Wyatt's wife, they would be the ones supporting me. They were so loving, causing my heart pain every time I thought about them and our time together.That was why I had never looked back because I knew it would hurt them more if they saw me. And I couldn't do that. So I decided to stop being their daughter the moment divorce came out of my lips.I could no longer be their proud daughter-in-law.I could no longer disappoint them.But now?What would they say if they found out I was hiding their grandson?Oh, God!I inhaled deeply, only to exhale heavily. Only if Wyatt didn't find us, I wouldn't have this burden.But then, could I hide this forever?Another sigh escaped my mouth, reali
