Chapter 219 - His Life In Danger

" No….Leave now…." She denied.

" If you stay here, what will everyone think of me? Especially Aunt Maria. Just go from here. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of everyone " she said.

" Please….Ruby. It had been many days, I had slept peacefully. Please…." He pleaded.

They both were so engrossed in their argument that they didn't notice Adrian and Katherine entering the room. Adrian made some noise as if he was adjusting his throat. They both turned their heads towards them.

" Wow...good progress…. Well done, Mr. Brown" Adrian smiled. Steven too smiled at him and nodded his head and looked at Ruby. 

" I think we should leave these love birds alone. What do you say? " Adrian asked his wife. Kathie looked at their both intertwining hands and nodded her head. She looked at Steven and informed, " I will send breakfast to the room for both. I don't want Mom to know that Ruby is pregnant before wedlock. Hope you understand "

" Don't worry, Kathie. I have full confidence in Steven. He will handle everything, " Adrian said, placing his hand around her shoulder.

" I wish the same…." She said and walked out, taking his hand away from her shoulder. Adrian looked at her blankly while leaving the room. Then Steven said, " I am not surprised with her behavior because her friendship with my brother was from her childhood"

" Maybe. But sometimes her behavior is scaring me. She is not trusting anyone. I don't know why…" Adrian said with a sad tone. 

" Time and experiences in the journey of life change the person. Take me as an example, I used to be a playboy but now Ruby is the only woman in this world…." Steven answered. Adrian laughed at his words and said, " I am so happy for both of you"

" Mr. Wilson, I am so thankful to you as you allowed me to meet Ruby and clear our misunderstandings. I am so grateful to trust my love even Kathie was against me, " Steven thanked him.

" I went through the pain when Kathie left me a long back. Not only that your love for Ruby is visible in your eyes…" Adrian said.

" Okay. Have a nice time, I need to go or else my angry queen will shout at me. Bye " Adrian left for the company. 

…..

As soon as Adrian closed the door behind him, Steven lifted her in his arms and said, " Yahoo. ….I got permission to stay with you. And I got a lot of support". Then he placed her on the bed gently. " If you are sleepy then you sleep, I need to finish my chores," she said and sat upon the bed.

" Okay. I will wait for you. I want to sleep beside you…" He said and leaned on the bedpost in a sitting position. When she went to the bathroom, the maid brought the breakfast to them. She placed the food tray on the table and left the room. As soon as the maid left the room, he locked the room and sat on the bed waiting for Ruby. 

After a while, she came out of the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe over her body. She looked so hot with water dripping from her wet hair. Instantly he walked towards her and pulled her to his chest. " Babe ...you know how to seduce, isn't it! " he whispered in a husky tone in her ears.

"Stev ...leave me…" she wriggled in his grip.

" Never in my life, I will leave me …" he replied, trailing kisses from her ears to her neck. " Please….Stev….leave me ...I am so hungry. Let me eat something …" she said. Immediately he left her and said, "Sorry. I was carried away as I noticed you in this attire ". He left her and served breakfast on the plate.

She joined him after getting ready. They were having breakfast in silence looking at each other. Suddenly, he asked her" Did you go to the hospital for a check-up "

She nodded her head as Yes and replied, " I went to test my pregnancy but I didn't visit the doctor after getting reports"

" Shall we go to the hospital now for a checkup? " he asked her. She stopped eating and asked, " Will you accompany me? " Doubtfully. 

" Of course ...I am the father of the baby. Who else will come with you then? " He questioned. She felt so happy. But there was something that was bothering her mind after she came to know about her pregnancy. Then she hesitantly asked him, " As you are a renowned person, what if anyone comes to know about our relationship if you come with me to the hospital? " 

" You and my baby are important to me. Nothing more matters to me, " he said. She smiled at him and said, " You are so good… " 

" Okay. Eat fast. I want to sleep with you…." He said while yawning. She quickly completed her breakfast and lay on the bed along with him. Instantly he pulled her onto his chest and closed his eyes, rubbing her hair.

" Ruby …. " Saying he pecked his forehead whereas she kissed his chest. She placed her hands around his torso and closed her eyes as she was also feeling dizzy after having breakfast. Both of them slept, cuddling each other.

…..

After some time, the sleep was disturbed by the ringing of the mobile. She opened her eyes and looked at Steven's mobile on the side table. She found Rachel's name on the display screen. She got angry and looked at Steven's face whereas he was sleeping peacefully like a small boy. She doesn't want to disturb his sleep. So she kept his mobile in silent mode and again slept cuddling him tightly. 

…..

Once he woke up, he looked at Ruby who was sleeping peacefully. She hugged him like her favorite teddy while entangling her hands and her legs over his body. He kissed the top of her hair and took his mobile from the side table. He found fifteen missed calls and four messages on his mobile. 

He opened the message and sat straight on the bed with shock. With a sudden jerk, Ruby opened her eyes and looked at Steven. 

" What happened? "She asked him.

" Is it you who kept my mobile in silent mode? " He questioned her in a serious tone.

" Yeah…. Why? I don't want that bitch to talk with you…" she replied. Instantly he stood up from the bed with a serious face. He walked towards the door and placed his hand on the knob.

" Are you going to meet that bitch? " She asked him.

" Will you shut your mouth? " He shouted at her. 

" Why should I? I know you are angry at me after seeing her missed calls on your mobile. The playboy like you would never change. It was my mistake to trust you and wanted to give a chance for the baby. Just leave from here, " she shouted.

" I have no time to explain anything to you. Just stay silent, before I lose my patience. I am controlling my anger because you are pregnant " he said and made a call to someone. 

"Mark...Is this information you got correct? " He asked.

….

" Okay…." He disconnected the call after hearing his reply. As soon as he ended the call, he made a call to Katherine.

" Kathie….where are you and Adrian? " He asked her over the call.

"In my company. Where else would I be at this time? Do you call to irritate me? " She said.

" You can shout at me later. First listen carefully, till I tell you don't go anywhere without my knowledge. I am very serious…" he said anxiously.

" I am sending bodyguards to your company. Please be careful till they reach your company. … " He added.

" Why are you talking weirdly? What happened to you? " She questioned.

" Once you come here, we can discuss it. Just listen to my words this time, please…" he said in a requesting tone.

" Is everything okay!! " Katherine asked him as she sensed something was wrong. Then he replied, " I hope, for now, everything is fine. But I am not sure. Please come back home along with the bodyguards sent to your company…" 

" Okay …." She agreed and ended the call.

" What happened? Why did you call Kathie? " Ruby asked him, holding his arms. He looked seriously at her and showed her a message which he received one hour back.

" As per information through our sources, GRAYSON planned to kill Adrian. Alert them, before it is too late …." 

" Please attend the call, Adrian's life is in danger..."

On reading, GRAYSON's name, Ruby's spine shivered with fear and gripped Steven's arm tightly. Her feet become weak even to stand on her own.

" Did he find Kathie? " she asked him with fear. He supported her to stand as she was sweating and shivering. He made her sit on the bed and nodded his head as YES.
