Breathing fire

Chapter twenty two

A heart broke

A soul cried

The sky went dark,black,empty,devoured of all colours,all happiness

And it cried

It cried rain

And they were the ones now soaked in that dark rain.Ruth had packed her bags and was leaving.Some might think..that she saw him ALMOST kiss Lizzie,then why did she decided to leave

Well I'll give you the answer

A woman like her had gone through a lot,her heart was in pieces and Tommy was the one who taped it together

But seeing him closer to someone else,seeing the person who saved you ALMOST kiss someone else made her heart break again

Yes she didn't know the truth.She didn't know that he didn't love or even like Lizzie.But her pain overpowered the truth

So she was leaving

Forever

Until the pain goes away and until her scars heal

No one knew that she was leaving.From Paris she went straight to her own house in America.She knew Tommy was coming behind her and he was so she decided to shift.

When she reached home she asked her housemaids to pack immediately.She didn't want this life,not anymore

She wanted a simple life for herself and the child that was inside her.Tommy's child

Alfred,her butler was worried.When Ruth told him he could go on and live his life he refused.He said "I know you won't say it because of your ego,but I also know you would desperately need my help"

Ruth smiled and nodded.So she took Alfred with her and left

God knows for where

Every single day

Every fucking minute he tried to find her.

He sent his men everywhere to search for her.His family was devastated at her sudden leave.They all loved Ruth and missed her more than anything

Yes they were angry at Tommy but at no cost could they make him feel worse than he was.Alcohol-and drugs and opium wasn't working

He knew it would be difficult to find Ruth because she was great at disappearing

So...they were separated

Ruth had started a new life,yes she still had the money,lived in a beautiful mansion,in a fancy part of Australia

Ruth was somewhat hating herself for not giving him a chance to explain.She was beating herself up to it but she had a life here now and she couldn't go back

Her child was born after nine months and she kept HER name as

Anastasia Galiardi....SHELBY

She gave her Tommy's name because he was her father.Yes her name was Ruth galiardi but there child was a part of both of them

She didn't tell Tommy that she had a child and he was the father

But that was soon revealed by Polly

One night polly came to the office and saw Tommy drinking while sitting on a chair in the corner next to the window,he looked like a ghost,dark circles under his eyes
