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

" Grayson…." He informed the name and ended the call.

" I will kill you….bastard…" Adrian shouted as he didn\'t notice that on the other side, Grayson ended the call.

" Who was on the call? " Thomas inquired on hearing their conversation.

" Grayson…." He replied involuntarily.

Ruby widened her eyes with fear and gulped her throat. Her hands and her legs were shivering on hearing his name. Adrian noticed her hands shivering which was his holding him and looked at her face. She looked so frightened.

" Do you know him? " Adrian questioned her with a serious expression. She just nodded her head while tears were flowing down her cheeks.

" Who is he? " Adrian shouted. He didn\'t care even though it was a hospital.

" He is the only reason that Katherine stayed away from you all these years. She was scared of threats all these years... " Ruby told the truth finally.

" Tell me in detail…." Adrian asked her.

From this part RUBY is ongoing to narrate her past:::

She wiped my tears and looked at Katherine. 

" As you think, Katherine is not an ordinary woman. She is the only daughter of Luther Davis, one of the richest men in North America. She is the only heir of Davis Group of companies. The main business of the Davis companies is diamond mining, exports, and imports. In childhood, Martin\'s mom and Katherine died in the accident. After the death of her mother, my mom Lisa joined as their caretaker. When my mother joined the job, I was only two years old and my father left my mom for another woman. " Ruby said.

" His father loved her so much. She was like a princess of some kingdom. Since childhood, she has been a kind-hearted person. My mother accepted Kathie as the other daughter and she too accepted us as a family. She never treated my mom as a nanny and me as an employee\'s daughter. Mr. Davis asked us to stay along with them in the same Mansion. He also joined me in a good school. He is a very generous person…." She continued.

" Then why is she in condition? " Thomas asked.

Ruby smiled bitterly and said, " Life is not always what we planned. Her life turned up and down after she returned graduating from her business university "

" That means…. After she left my hometown!! " Adrian asked in shock.

" Yes….still I remember the day she returned from your hometown along with my mom. She was so gloomy as if she had lost a precious jewel in her life " she said while tears escaped her eyes.

" At that time, I was in high school and five years younger than her. So she never shared her feelings with me as she thought I was a small kid. She also used to share her problems with Martin or my mom. At that time, Martin used to study in another city. So she had no one to share her feelings with, even my mom was so quiet all the time. She was used to alone staring at the bracelet on her wrist" she told them.

She sighed looking at Katherine and then continued " One day….I asked her what was the matter. She didn\'t say anything and gave me a forced smile. Then I understood that something was bothering her. Then I went to my mom and asked her but she told me to not interfere in the other matters. She strictly instructed me only to concentrate on my studies. I thought to call and inform Martin about her behavior but he didn\'t attend the call " 

….

" Two days after, when I returned from the high school, I saw mom panicked by her gesture. She was standing outside Katherine\'s bedroom with a plate of food. When I inquired my mom, she told me that

Katherine didn\'t have her food from last night and locked herself in the room. I banged the door several times but there was no response from her" she narrated.

" All of sudden, my mom announced from the outside that she would help her love matter. I was shocked that Kathie was in love. Then she opened the door with a wide smile on her face. She twirled mom round and round while giggling. It was the first time I saw the smile on her face after she returned. But we never thought it would be her last smile until you again entered her life after many years…" she explained.

" What happened! " Thomas asked with anxiety.

" As it was her father\'s fifty-five birthday, she prepared to tell Uncle Luther about her love. But before she talked about her love matter with her father, he announced the name of her fiance at the party without her consent and introduced her to everyone at the party. He was none other than Grayson. We all were shocked by the announcement. After the party ended and all the guests left, Kathie denied to marry Grayson and announced to her father that she loved a person named Adrian Wilson. Uncle Luther was furious as she refused to marry the person whom he selected for his daughter ...." 

Ruby\'s words were interrupted when the nurse came to inform that Sam was shifted to ICU. 

" Addy….go and visit Sam, I will stay with Kathie…" Thomas said.

Adrian quickly ran towards the incentive care unit to see his son. When he reached the place, he saw nearly ten bodyguards guarding the floor and Steven standing at the main entrance of the Incentive care unit.

" Bed no 4…" Steven said, his voice came out like a whisper.

Slowly he walked inside and stopped at bed number four. His eyes welled with tears on seeing the bandages on his son\'s head and his left hand. His right hand was connected to the IV tube. And other pipes were connected. He touched his feet and whispered in a cracked voice, " Sam….open your eyes…."

"Shhh….please don\'t talk. He will not speak anything now as he had his surgery a few hours back. He will be under sedation, " the nurse stopped him from talking.

He looked at Sam with a blank expression. It was so difficult for him to see his naughty son like a lifeless person. He remembered the conservation between them before a few days in the gym.

Three days back in the gym room...

 " Dad…I want to become strong and fit just like you," He said while Adrian was practicing with dumbbells.

" Why?? " Adrian amused.

" Because you are my hero. I like when you carry me on your back and my mom in your arms. I want to be strong like you. If I am strong, I can also protect my loved ones…" he giggled, hugging his legs.

…..

" I am not your Hero. I could not save you from the accident. I have failed as a father…" he thought in his mind while crying silently.

Then he remembered the words of Grayson and walked out of Incentive care. Then he noticed Steven was talking with Ruby. She immediately walked to him and asked, " How is he? "

" unconscious …." He replied then he looked at Steven with a serious face. " Do you know where I can find Grayson? " 

Steven was awestruck when he mentioned Grayson and looked at Ruby quizzically. 

" Can you tell me where Grayson is? " he repeated.

" Look... it\'s not time to talk about him but think about Sam and Katherine. We have to think about Sam\'s further treatment. Try to understand…" Steven reasoned.

" You are asking to keep quiet when I came to know he was the reason for my son\'s condition. And beyond that, he dared to call me and talk about my son\'s death. " Adrian screamed.

" I will kill that bastard with my bare hands…" he said, fuming in anger.

" I will help you to kill him but control yourself at least Sam got conscious. And also think about Katherine\'s condition, " Steven advised.

 " Please...Adrian…. Don\'t make decisions in haste " Ruby pleaded, holding his hands. 

" So...you want me to stay like an incapable person? " he shouted.

" No… we didn\'t mean it. He is not an ordinary businessman but also has a connection with the mafia. " Steven informed him with the same density.

Adrian closed his eyes in frustration and fisted his palm. Then Steven placed his palm on his shoulder from behind and twirled him to face. " Before execution, we need to plan and think of the consequences. Try to understand what I mean to say…." He explained.

" I already called the topmost neuron specialist of my country. He will be there in three hours. You no need to worry about Sam. And about security, already our men surrounded this hospital, " he added.

" Thank you…." Adrian said.

" Don\'t thank me. Kathie\'s father has raised my brother since he was born. It is nothing when compared to it. Moreover, it\'s the respect I am giving for the love between you and Kathie. I wondered when I got to know about Kathie, how a person could leave all the luxuries they had just for Love ...." He replied.

" Indeed Katherine\'s love for Adrian is endless…" Ruby said.
