Ethan stops the car slowly to the parking lot. His attention was focused towards where the charity event was held. Her eyes moved in search of Ruby's existence. Especially when he got out of the car. Then galloped into the charity event area.
"Ethan! Are you looking for Ruby?" Andrew came up from the side. He immediately approached Ethan.
"Yes, where is he? Did you kidnap her from me?" ethan said while shaking his waist. Staring at Andrew with a frown.
"It was so. But Ruby's more interested in spending her time with the kids!" sahut Andrew looked at the place where Ruby was. He and Ethan slowly stepped in simultaneously. Ruby is busy playing with Sean and Erick.
"Is there a problem going on between you and Ruby? You guys seem to be having a serious fight" Andrew said. Ethan is the husband of Ruby.
"Regular, household matters." Ethan replied with origin. He did not care about Andrew's words. A few moments later they arrive at Ruby's place to enjoy her leisure time.
"Ruby, what are you doing?" ask Ethan. He sat right next to Ruby. Forced Erick to stay away.
Erick only frowned as his sitting position was shifted by Ethan. He didn't even say a single word.
Ruby immediately brought her mouth closer to Ethan's ear. He whispered, "Did you bring the money?"
"Yes, it's in my wallet!" ethan Sahut. He stared at Ruby. So that the distance between the face and Ruby looks so close.
"Don't kiss in front of us!" scold Sean. She screamed in an adorable voice. Ethan and Ruby turn to Sean at the same time.
"Are you guys dating?" ask Erick.
"Come, kids! They are both married couples!" Andrew answered first. Before Ruby and Ethan can answer.
"What's? Husband?" ruby's forehead frowned. Looked at Ethan.
"I'll explain later. I'm sorry." Ethan told Ruby. It's so slow.
"Yes, then quickly hand over your wallet!" Ruby opened her palm wide. Urge Ethan to give him what he wants.
Ethan glanced lazily. Even so, he still handed his wallet over to Ruby. "Please don't-"
"It's a payday for you. I hope you're happy!" Ruby immediately took all the money sheets in the wallet. Then give it to Sean and Erick.
"Thank you so much, Ruby!" Sean jumped up and down in excitement. The same thing was done by Erick.
"Week out sometime later. We live in a Santa Maria orphanage!" erick said excitedly.
"Of course!" Ruby rubbed the top of Erick's head slowly. His mouth curled up forming a sincere smile.
Ethan stood up, then immediately stepped out of the tent. Slowly Andrew approached next to her. The man in the police uniform folded his chest while paying attention to Ruby's activities. The same thing Ethan did.
"It turns out she also took her husband's wallet" Andrew commented. It made Ethan look.
"Yes, he also took something else from my body!" ethan Sahut. He turned his attention back to Ruby.
Andrew, who did not understand Ethan's words, frowned. Demand the next explanation.
"You should have said that to your wife" replied Andrew. Glaring understandably.
"Yes, then he'll slap me in the face." Ethan held one of his cheeks. Remembering Ruby's slap a while back. Andrew, however, could only shake his head. Their conversation ended there. Ethan and Ruby immediately leave the charity scene.
Ryan forced John to drive him somewhere. It is a very nice building to serve as a secret headquarters. It is located in the city of Chicago. Ryan went a long way from leaving Ruby.
After browsing and making payment transactions. Ryan immediately informed all his subordinates to come to the new headquarters.
"You know, Ryan. The thing you have to think about now is your wife" said John, who had just sat in front of Ryan. His hand held a glass filled with coffee.
"He's with Ethan now!" sahut Ryan's. He sat down while putting both his elbows on his knees. His gaze was straight towards the stepped floor.
"Then, now you should know how Ruby felt when you saw her with Sarah or Megan. That hurts, doesn't it?" John looked at Ryan. Then put the glass on the table. "Come, Ryan! Ruby is pregnant. This is her first pregnancy!" continued. His forehead has been frowning. Signs John is starting to feel upset with the attitude of his partner.
"I never understood you could hate a child so much?!" say John again.
"That's because you never know what I've been through as a kid?!" ryan was in a state of blocked eyes. "Leave me alone, John.." he said, taking his eyes off John.
"Then tell me. Just tell me what's been going on, until you can hate a child so much." John chose to stay still. I tried to speak to Ryan.
"I'm always alone. Every day, my father beat me up. My mom enjoys her time cheating. Friends my age are not good. They're just crazy bullies." Without knowing, Ryan told me. His mind recalls those bad memories.
"You know, only one person cares about me. She was an old lady who sold bread. But one day, he dies from being killed by his own grandson. Do you know how old his grandson is?" Ryan moved his eyeballs to look at John. Then continue, "nine years. He killed someone and destroyed my hope."
"Ryan, you-"
"I don't think we need a lot of kids in this world, do we? Especially me? I don't intend to be one of the people who add to their population!" Ryan cut John's words off.
"But Ryan, not all kids are like that. There are other children who have a good attitude. Aren't you one of them when you were a kid?" tympan John. I'm trying to change Ryan's point of view.
"How can you be sure I'm a good boy? You don't even know what I did to my father." Ryan stated. He is now sitting on the sofa. Put one of his legs on his knee.
"You killed your father?.." guess John in a doubtful tone.
"I think so" replied Ryan. Causing John immediately speechless a thousand languages.
Ryan's brain clearly remembers how his father was killed. It was winter. He and his father were on the side of the road. Step in a parallel way. Eight-year-old Ryan suddenly focused on a bird across the street.
As a child, Ryan rushed to cross the highway with his feet. That was when my father realized his disappearance. Ryan's father looked upset. Everything could be clearly seen from the tinge of anger on his face.
His father Ryan was furious at the behavior of the son who acted at will. Just like Ryan, he walked without looking to the right and left. Intent on catching up with Ryan who was already across the street.
"Ryan!" scream at Ryan's father.
Ryan who heard me running. Trying to escape from his father's pursuit. But just a few steps away, Ryan's ear heard the sound of the car brake and a loud impact. He looked back. Ryan's eyes immediately widened. How not? His father looked bloody. Falling on his stomach, on the cold snow-covered ground.
