RUBBY'S POV "I'm ready to leave," I said while drawing imaginary images on the floor.I couldn't bring myself to look at his face, or else I might be tempted to stay."Already? I just got home.""I know, but I didn't plan on spending the night in the first place, mom might be worried now."Alex tucked his hands into his pockets, with a look of reluctance that carved deep into his expression."But your mom knows you are here; I mean, you told her, didn't you?"I shook my head. "You seem to have forgotten how I ended up in your house for the night," a wave of embarrassment washed over me as I remembered the events of the previous night."Rubby," Alex called out softly again. He just knew how to do it, how to make me change my mind even when I didn't want to. I shook my head, forcing a smile I didn't feel. "Alex please stop. Don't ask again, if I'm forced to stay, I won't be happy."He took a step closer, begging with his eyes more than his words. His lips looked redder than it was las

ALEXANDER'S POV Annie knows who is behind this, I thought as I followed the nurse to the waiting area. I stepped in just as Rubby was wheeled into the operating room. Her body was bandaged and broken, quite similar to my heart, only that my heart had no bandages on it. It was broken and bleeding.For a second I felt this was some kind of joke. A cruel joke maybe. It shouldn't be happening, I thought. But it was, and all I could do was watch and hope she would make it out alive.I had never felt so helpless in my entire life. If only it was possible, I would have switched places with her, but I couldn't, I could only watch from a distance before the door to the operating room was shut."Please wait here," a nurse murmured."Rubby," a sob escaped Rubby's mom's lips. "Why is she so still? She's never been like that, even in her sleep; she always tosses and turns like a restless butterfly. But see..." her voice broke as she pointed towards the room Rubby was wheeled into.Her Father wra

ALEXANDER'S POV I hadn't changed my clothes in almost forty-eight hours. I had spent another night with Rubby, and by morning my clothes smelled like hospital disinfectant. I had pleaded with Rubby's parents to go home for that night; thankfully, they agreed, and by morning, they were back with clothes, bedspreads and food."You should go too; you need to freshen up and change," Rubby's mom said and held my wrist. Her voice was terribly hoarse now, she must have cried all through the night."I will be back," I muttered, bowed slightly and left. Though not after standing by Rubby's door and whispering a good morning I didn't know if she heard. The doctor had insisted that no one be allowed into the room.Honestly, I needed just a few minutes to change, splash water on my face, and even breathe properly.I parked directly in front of my house, the engine still running. The moment I stepped out, I spotted a figure by the sidewalk."Oh, not again!" I groaned and slapped myself lightly

ALEXANDER'S POV "You should be able to get a lady first before getting me," I muttered under my breath and walked away.No other remarkable events happened that day. As usual, I had slept in the hospital hoping for a miracle.That morning, I woke up with something in my mind. Something I couldn't really place my finger on. "You should go home, it's our turn," Rubby's mom whispered."Yes ma," I nodded and stood up.I had just walked past the doctor's office when I remembered something.The results.I turned in the opposite direction and headed to the lab where I had submitted the samples."So early Mr Wolfe.""Isn't it ready yet?" I asked with a puzzled face."Which is it?" She asked.I knew she was referring to Liam's own, I had dropped it the previous day after the little talk with Josh."It shouldn't be ready, should it?" I muttered, wishing I would get both results immediately."Not at all; the first is ready, Though. We can talk all day and night while we wait for the other," sh

KEVIN'S POV    That night after Josh had confronted me about Rubby, I couldn't sleep. I was so confused and needed to know what on earth was happening.    Both Josh and Alex were completely stressed, leaving me with the office of course. It was a rare opportunity and I hoped to make the most of it.   "Good morning sir," the chef bowed as I stepped out.   "Why is the house this quiet?"   He hurriedly walked away in response.   I shrugged my shoulders. Who cares, though?   In a few minutes, I had arrived at the headquarters and strode in like I owned it. Well, for now, I did own it.   I was resuming today
