Semua Bab Valentine's Vows; Love, Lies And A Fake Engagement : Bab 181 - Bab 189

RUBBY'S POV "Why did you say that?" I said to Alex widening my eyes in horror."Do what?" Alex asked pretending not to know what he had done."Why did you ask him to run after him? Can't you see he is with a gun?""I didn't see that," Alex answered looking confused. I knew that look, he knew exactly what he was doing.I shook my head. "That's not how things are done. Nolan might end up killing him or even the other way around. Do you think Kevin came to such a gathering without a weapon?""I will go check," Alex said and made to leave, but I held him back. "Are you leaving me here? I'm going with you."He nodded, and we both rushed outside, panicking. Nolan was already at the gate when we stepped outside, Kevin's black Mercedes roared past, speeding like it knew it was a demon behind the wheel.Nolan didn't even think about it for a second. He jumped into his own car and went after him."We should stop him," I cried.Alex turned to me. "Rubby, please go inside, you shouldn't be doin

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

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,

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

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
