Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

" Baby! " Katherine was startled by his words and looked at Ruby. 

 " Is it true? " She asked her, praying in her mind not to be true. She gulped her throat in fear thinking of her reaction and lowered her head.

" Ruby….I am asking you something. Is it true? " she asked again.

She nodded her head without looking at Kathie's face. Katherine glared at Steven and asked " Is it part of your plan to trap her in your game? " 

" Kathie. ...Please believe me. I never had intentions to cheat Ruby. I truly love her and want to marry her" he said, walking towards them. 

" But I don't want to marry a person like you…" Ruby said her decision. Then she looked at Kathie, " I think it's better if we leave the place as early as possible. I don't want to stay with him even for one second " Ruby walked out of his cabin.

" Kathie….at least you...listen to me once " Steven stopped her.

" What should I listen to you? You already had a fiance and made her pregnant. What is there to listen to? " she shouted.

" Kathie….she is not my fiance. Please believe me. My mom selected her for me as she was my childhood friend. Why don't you give me one chance to prove my love? " he asked.

" I made a big mistake by not revealing your identity to Ruby. If I would have revealed your identity, at the beginning, itself, she might not be in this position. Because of my small mistake, she is suffering. From now on, I will take care that you will not be around her…" Katherine said and left his cabin seriously.

They both were not in a mood to hear a single word from him. So Steven thought to remain calm and decided to talk the next day. But he was so worried about Ruby's health. Even though he was not prepared to be a father soon but felt so happy when he came to know the news. He thought God helped him by giving his baby because the baby is the only source that bonds them together. 

…..

Katherine and Ruby sat in the car silently. She instructed the driver to take them to the house then she made a call to Adrian and informed him that they were going home and she won't come to the company for today.

On hearing Katherine's voice, Adrian understood that something is serious. He wanted to go and talk with her but he had so much pending work at the company.

….

Once they reached the home, Katherine asked to wait for her in the guestroom where she was staying. She directly went to the room whereas Katherine went to the kitchen to get something to feed her some food as she looked weak. She knew that it wasn't good for her health. 

She prepared vegetable lasagna and orange juice for Ruby. Then she took them to her room. When she entered the room, she noticed her sleeping on the bed. She woke her so that she would eat the food.

" Ruby...get up and eat this food " she ordered.

" I am not hungry and don't want to eat anything…" she replied.

" I didn't ask your opinion. I ordered you to eat. This is not good for your health and you should be careful at this time, " she said in a commanding tone.

Ruby took the plate from her hands and completed her food. Katherine sat opposite to her on the chair patiently till she finished the food and then asked her, " when do you know about your pregnancy? " she inquired.

" Four days back…" She replied. Katherine glared at her and asked her, " So you didn't think to inform me? Huh? Is it because I hide Steven's identity from you? "

She lowered her head and nodded as NO. Then she replied to Kathie in a low voice, " Your health was not well. So I thought to tell you later"

" Ohh…."

" Then why didn't you tell me last night when I came to talk with you? Why Ruby, why? Do you doubt my love for you? " She shouted at her. 

" No .." she cried.

" I am so upset and confused. I don't know what to do with this baby? " She cried.

" Tell me ...what happened without hiding anything …" Katherine asked, rubbing her back.

...

Ten days back …..

RUBY POV

When I was working, Steven called me and informed me that we have to go to Canada all of a sudden. 

I thought it would be a business trip like always. When we landed in Canada, instead of hotels, he took me to a huge Mansion. 

I was surprised to see the luxurious mansion for the first time in my life. Then he told me that it is his home and he took me with him as his father was not well. I felt so nervous and asked him to send me back but he insisted I stay with him. 

There were so many maids in the mansion. He asked me to stay next to his bedroom. When I freshened up in my room and went to meet him in his room. Then I saw a middle-aged woman who looked pretty and resembled Steven. 

" Who are you? " She questioned me.

" I am Ruby, Mr. Brown's assistant " I introduced myself to her. 

" Ohhh….you are the new bedmate to my son! " She questioned me which broke my heart with her hurtful comments. 

" Madam, it's not what you think about me, " I replied. For that, She glared at me and mocked, " I know very well about your low-class people like you. You will do anything for money…"

Just that time, Steven came out of the bathroom and smiled at me then introduced her as his mother, Oliver. I greeted her and remained silent. 

" Steven .. . I don't want to stay in that city. I want you to come back and get married soon…" His mother said to him,

Steven looked at me and said, " We will talk about it later. I want to meet dad first " 

" Why do you want to meet your dad? To inform him of the details of that bastard? I told you not to go to that place, still, you went to that city" she shouted at Steven.

" Mom...I don't want to talk about this topic with you. Just leave my room…" he retorted. 

" If you bring that bastard to my home, I will kick him out. I don't want him to come here " she warned.

" He is not a bastard but my brother. I told you many times to not repeat those words. Don't you understand" he said in a serious tone.

I stood silently as I was confused on hearing those words. Steven looked at my side and told me to wait in the room which I got allotted. I agreed and went to the room and waited. The maid brought me everything to eat and drink the whole day. I checked the time, it was night nine and Steven still didn't come to me. I felt bored and came out of my room and walked around the home. When I reached the corner of the Mansion, I heard Steven's voice. I hurriedly walked in that direction and stood at the entrance of the door when I heard another voice in the room. It belongs to another male person. I peeped inside and looked at them. 

" Dad ...please believe me, I will fulfill my promise …" Steven told him.

I saw a person who was almost fifty years old. He was lying on the bed. I wanted to leave that place then I heard him asking Steven, " When will you bring your brother to me? " 

I thought Steven was the only heir. I was so curious to know who might be. He didn't even mention this matter to me.

" Dad...I need some time. I need the support of Kathie and Ruby to convince him, " he replied when I was in deep thoughts. I was startled that he mentioned our names. 

" I have no time, my son. Please bring him as soon as possible " he started crying, holding Steven's hands. Just at that time, my phone rang and Steven turned his head and noticed me over there.

" Ruby…." He exclaimed in surprise.

" Is he Ruby? " The old man asked, looking at me with a small smile.

He nodded his head and was looking at nervously. I walked towards him and asked, " What is going on here? And why are you mentioning our names in your conversation? " 

Then the old man said, " I am the father of Martin. My name is Robert Brown and Steven is Martin's stepbrother"

I was awestruck knowing the truth and looked at Steven. From our childhood, I knew how much Martin hated his father as he cheated on his mother and married another woman. I quickly ran to the room and closed the doors. I felt betrayed in the name of LOVE. All these days, he used me to fulfill the promise to his father.
