After the massive beating that Andrew gave to him, James manages to get himself to his car. He drives off and even though he feels like he would pass out at any moment from the pain, he thankfully makes it to his father's house. He drives into the place and even crashes into the wall. When some of the servants and guards rush to check him, to see if he is okay, he pushes them away with vex. “Get out me!” He yells. He limps into the house, throwing his face here and there as he looks for his father. “Father! Father!” He yells from more anger, not pain. He keeps walking around, bumping into walls to manage to keep walking. He finally sees his father in the sitting room, sitting in quietness, with a very tall and beautiful woman. She is not one of his concubines. She is very well dressed and they are whispering and smiling like business confidential. James is covered in instant shame. He is standing here, all covered with sweat and some of his clothes have been torn, blood is on
Ruby is shocked to her bones, she can't even move a single part of her body. The anonymous partner wants to marry her?! Wasn't it just a few days ago that he turned against her and was mean to her? What the hell is going on? Everyone else is shocked at this. They are all lookingh at her with a very perplexed expression. Mister William Sanchez is the first that laughs off the shock. “Mister anonymous, have you forgotten that she is married? She is married and even has a daughter, she is used! Why don't you marry Adriana instead? If wound be good for our empire.* But the anonymous partner grunts with displeasure. “Are you trying to tell me what to do, Mister William Sanchez?!” “Of course not, sir.” “Then I stand by my word. Ruby Sanchez is to divorce her husband and marry me, if not, the deal is off the table. It will only be signed after she has married me legally.” The anonymous partner doesn't wait for anyone else to speak, he ends the call and leaves them with confusion. Mis
The main problem that is bugging Ruby now is how is she going to tell Andrew about this? She doesn't intend to marry the anonymous partner, but she knows that she has to tell Andrew what has happened. She has to tell him that the man that technically owns their house has proposed marriage to her. She has to tell him that her parents, whom he has grown to love and think of as his own, are in support of her marrying this man. Ruby locks herself in the bathroom for almost an hour. She is staring into her reflection and she heaves a sigh every now and then. She doesn't understand why this is happening to her. Why does the anonymous partner want to marry her? Out of every person? And her parents, they are trying to make her feel like she is going to regret passing on this opportunity, if she doesn't accept it. But she doesn't love the anonymous partner. She has never seen the man, she doesn't know what he even looks like, but she wants to marry her?! She heaves again and opens the
Andrew stands there, transfixed with confusion as his clothes fall like rain from upstairs. Ruby jaw is on the ground! What's her parents doing?! They spoke about this! They weren't supposed to say anything to Andrew! She rushes up the stairs to stop this madness, but she can't control both of her parents at the same time. Andrew stays down, trying to catch as many of his clothes as possible. “Mum! Dad! What the hell are you doing?!” Ruby tried to drag Andrew's bag from her parents. “He should leave, Ruby! I won't stay here and allow this useless man to spend another day in this house! He is a leech to this family and he should go away!” Thomas yells. The Sanchez family is so evil. The evil side is showing on Doreen and Thomas' faces as they throw Andrew's belongings at him. “Mum and dad, what's happening?” Andrew asks with pain. “How are you saying that the house I bought is not mine and that I should leave?!’ Now Doreen and Thomas have descended the stairs, they fold their h
Even though it seems that Ruby's entire life has turned upside down, she still has to go to work. Uma hasn't stopped asking about her father and she is grateful that Andrew is not being a dick, he has continued to call Uma every day. He also speaks to Ruby on the phone, but he intentionally avoids bringing up the situation of the anonymous partner's proposal. The other day, when she forcefully brought it up and begged that they speak on it, he told her that he wasn't going to hold a grudge against her. He said that he was cool with whatever decision she chose to take. She drives to the office. She knows that work will get her mind off what's happening. When she gets to the office, she is surprised to see that she now has new security men around her. They bow to her and follow her into the building. She hasn't gotten over that, she finds all the staff standing and waiting for her to come in, so that they could greet her. It freaks the hell out of her, but she maintains herself a
Andrew finally shows up at the house after five days. Uma sights him from her bedroom window and she screams the whole place down as she rushes into her father's arms. This is the happiest that Ruby has been in days now. She watches with her hands folded and a smile on her face. Her parents are standing like bodyguards with stiff looks on their faces. They have agreed not to fight Andrew in front of Uma, but they have given him only ten minutes. If he is still in the house after then, they are going to drag him out by his front teeth. Thankfully, Uma has not noticed anything. It pains Ruby to lie to her child, but she told Uma that her father traveled on a long trip. Thankfully, the young girl is not suspecting any foul play. “Daddy! Daddy! I have missed you so much!” She clings her tiny hands to his neck. “I have missed when you read me night stories!” “I've missed you too, my princess!” Andrew smiles at her. “Tell me, have you been a good girl to your mother and grandparents?”
James screws his face with disgust as soon as he hears those words from his father. His father did not tell him that he had invited Andrew Carter into their house, but he also didn't even tell him that he was going to make Andrew his guard. As soon as those despicable words leave his father's mouth, he stands up with very great anger. “What the hell is this, father?!” He barks. “You invited this dog into our house and now you want to make him your personal bodyguard?!” Even though James is raging in anger, Henry is not alarmed at all. He isn't even looking at James, he is still staring at Andrew, waiting for an answer. Andrew looks at both father and son. Not knowing what to say to this. He sighs as he leans against the chair. “Uhm, I don't think your son would like that very much.” Andrew points at James. “You are so fucking right about that!” James shouts. “I should have fucking killed you when I have had the chance!” James stands up, as if he wants to attack Andrew, but hi
James doesn't want to believe what he has heard, so he refuses to buy what Phil is saying. He doesn't want to believe that a member of the Sanchez family suddenly wants to help him. James keeps the gun pointed at Phil, he even adds a snarl on his face. “What, you think I'm stupid? You think that I don't know that you are trying to play me?” He barks. “Who sent you? You thought I was going to be easy to deceive, didn't you?” Phil is crumbling with fear. The closer the gun gets to his head, the more he shakes and winces. “Sir, I swear to you that I am not here to deceive you.” Phil goes down on his knees. “I want to have my revenge against that man too,that's why i have come to you.” “And I'm supposed to believe you? When you have more to gain if your cousin gets married to that man?” “Ruby and her parents, together with every other member of the Sanchez family, might have alot to gain from the conjugation of my cousin and that man, but not me.” He says. “My father else sent to j
