The Day His Demands Broke My Water novel Chapter 59

After a long while, I wiped away my tears and composed myself before picking up a strange phone number.

"I have a ten-billion-dollar deal on hand. Are you interested?"

"What business?"

"Kidnap me in three days."

I gently caressed my stomach. "Jasper will be willing to pay this ransom with all his heart."

Just as I hung up the phone, the door opened, and Jasper walked in.

He had drunk quite a bit, stumbling slightly as he walked, but his grip on my hand was still firm, though his eyes were alert. "What's this you're saying about giving it willingly?"

I answered without blinking. "I saw a necklace I liked. The other party said I need to pay a deposit first."

He laughed and lowered his head to rest on my shoulder. "Alright, I'll pay, I'll pay. Alice, whatever you want, I'll get for you. I'm all yours."

I expressionlessly helped him to the bed and covered him with the blanket, lying awake beside him the entire night.

The next day, on our way to try on wedding dresses, Jasper received a call. His face changed, and he hastily explained, "Honey, there's a shipment that's been stuck. I need to go deal with it now."

He grasped my hand in apology. "I'm sorry, I promise I'll accompany you to try on the wedding dress tomorrow. I've already ordered our wedding rings. Let's go pick them together, okay?"

I pulled my hand back. "I understand. I'll wait at home for you."

He squeezed my hand gently before heading off once I got out of the car.

Less than ten minutes later, Gabe's car arrived.

As soon as I got in, a photo of Ruby came through.

She was wearing the dazzling diamond ring and the wedding dress I had been eyeing, kneeling on a man's lap.

His large hand was placed on her pale thigh through the thin fabric, and he was kissing the crescent-shaped birthmark on her right shoulder, his eyes filled with desire.

A message followed immediately.

"At night, when I turn off the lights, I imagine her as you so I can go on. Ruby, my good Ruby, I misses you. Please, show me some love."

After a long kiss, Gabe slowly spoke, "You must have heard that day at the door. Too bad, the child in your belly isn't Ruby's embryo. I just randomly swapped it with a poor beggar's bastard from a slum."

I suddenly raised my head, my pupils shaking.

Ruby laughed uncontrollably.

"Now you're dirty from the inside out. A bastard's child, a wild woman's mother. Alice, what's the difference between you and those from the red-light district? At least they charge a few bucks. You're paying to give birth to a bastard."

"Is one enough? Or should I stuff you full? Like a sow, hahaha."

My mind roared, the thick, metallic taste rushing up my throat. I screamed and grabbed a stone from the ground, wishing I could take both of them down with me.

Gabe kicked my stomach, and I fell to the ground, vomiting blood, my face turning pale from the pain.

But at that moment, Ruby suddenly took several steps back in fear and fell backwards.

Even though she didn't touch a single scratch, Jasper appeared out of nowhere, stepping on my hand and immediately pulling her into his arms. His eyes were filled with blatant worry. "Ruby, are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?"
