Chapter 58 The call
The moment Ethan parked in front of his house, he suddenly opened the door and walked out of the door as she hurriedly ran into the house.
Entering the house, the young man slammed the door energetically behind him.
“Ruby, I am home,” Ethan blurted out in anger.
Realizing what he had just said, and the fact that he had sold Ruby off to his enemy, the young man slammed the door in anger as he locked it.
“Stupid Ethan, how dare you tell make such a silly mistake?” he shut out asking the question to himself.
There isn’t much to talk about right now and the anger that had grown in him is one that he has never seen before.
He hated himself for having sold Ruby, he wished he had not done that at all because the anger still boiled in his mind, it is comething that he has never experienced before. It is true that the lady was rude to her but then, what more can she do about it, she wondered faintly. The manner in which things are working for him isn’t the best and he feels irritated about it.
For a moment, those are the thoughts that ran through his mind but all of a sudden he seemed to transform into a beast, all these things didn’t really take effect on him at all, and thus, he was going to use the lady to his own advantage right now.
Picking his phone he decided to call Ruby. He didn’t quite think his plan will work bit if he has the right motivation and does everything right, It is going to be a deal that only Ruby will be involve. He has to make sure that the lady puts the powder in the man’s tea.
It is not actually poison, but it can make him get weak, and a little complications can happen to him. That was awkward, but then, what more can he do about it. If Ruby proves to be useful, then he will have the right to keep her by his side for further use, but if she is that useless then he will have no option other than killing him.
This is the first time he is giving Ruby a phone and he had every reason to look it out, that is weird, but then, what more can he even do other that fastening the right knot on the situation. It even becomes harder when Ruby wouldn’t want to pick his call or just find a way in shutting her out. That might be disappointing and it means that things wouldn’t work as planned. It might be alarming but things would just turn out to be the way they are without any push at all.
Dialing the number, be placed the call and waited to see if Ruby will actually answer the call or not. On the third ring, the person on the other hand answered the call and it made her heart sink immediately. A small smile spread across his face as he felt stupid and hide it at once. He did not want Ruby to hear him as if he was being so desparate, that wouldnt be cool at all, and he will be the one to feel the effect all over him.
“What do I want from you, Ruby? come on, you shouldn’t be ungrateful for me after all what I have done for you, besides, reaching to you is only a mile away, and when I meet you, believe me,” Ethan spat out. it was kind of awkward, but then, what more can he even do about it, he wondererd faintly.
Ruby on her part, her heartbeat was aching him so much, it is weird, but more can she even do when her heartbeat had excelerated too much? she didn’t want Xavier to walk in here and see her with a mobile phone more talking to Ethan about it. There isn’t much she can do about it but the fact that the man might hAve raised questions about her communicating with the man that just sold her will make raise several questions about herself, which is something she doesn’t want to. The pain will just be excess, and is something she has barely planned about.
“Ethan, haven’t you destroyed my life enough already? rendering me cripple after everything I’ve done to you is just good things, but here I am, trapped in a strange man’s house. What did I ever do to you?” Ruby asked raising her brows up.
The truth is that things are not the way they seem to be, if ever Ruby is caught, it will be a new way of forming things the way she wants it. There isn’t much to think about, this thing.
“Ethan…” Ruby started but was halted as Ethan’s words cut in silencing her.
“You shut the fuck up and listen to me, young lady, the reason why I called you is to make sure that you don’t forget to put that powder in Xavier’s tea,” he shot out.
At this moment, he called the man’s name, and Ruby’s man started ticking at once, well, he isa ou lic figure and everyone knows him but if Ethan is insisting on something, the something is wrong somewhere. She doesn’t even want things to be like this anymore.
Ruby grew mad instantly, even though Ethan wasn’t in front of him, it was bizarre and as a chilling feeling went down her spine.
“Ethan I do not know what you want from me, but you’ve given me out already, this Is your loss, so if you know what is good for you, better drop that powder and make sure you are not caught. Have I made myself understood?” Ethan shouted as he said those words.
Ruby felt those effects, she shuddered and the fear that grew in her heart is one that she has never felt before. Ruby knew who Ethan was and playing with him will be too dangerous for her liking and she knows about it. She has seen the man kill several people in front of her eyes and the guilt had not for once consumed him. Her greatest fear being with the man was turning into his target. To her, it was a very dangerous situation, and the manner in which things are moving is not encouraging at all.
“Ruby? you will do it right? tell me you will do it,” Ethan spat out.
Ruby didn’t know what to say, the words were now clutched to his throat, things aren’t walking the way she wants it.
“Yes,” Ruby spat out and at once, tears rolled out of her eyes.
This is the worst thing that the lady has ever done to her, things aren’t even working at all, she doesn’t want anything to do with. As the call finally ended, at once, the lady was finally defeated, she felt like her life was being controlld by string, and facing this situation she couldn’t help the tears that rolled Iut of her cheeks. Despite the fact that the pain on her forehead hurt her so much the one she felt on her legs surpassed anything else.
“You shouldn’t have being in this situation, now here you are about to kill someone that have just helped you out,” Ruby spat out gently.
She didn’t mind the fact that she was talking to herself, in fact, she did not mind at all, and the more she galred at the man, she couldn’t help but shake her head violently, it didn’t actually make a lot of sense, but then, what more can she do about it other than face the situation she has at hand right now, she wondered faintly.
Heaving a gentle sigh, Ruby was startled when she heard a knock coming from the door. At once, the lady made sure the phone was on total silence as she hid the phone behind them. That is awkward but then, what more can she do about it, wiping her face, she stared at the door as it slide open.
The door opened as it revealed Xavier walking in with a tray in his arms. In the tray, there was a kettle, and two tea cups in it. This was an opportunity for the lady to use the powder but she doubted how that was going to happen, especially unnoticed.
“Sorry, Ruby did I wake you up? I know you need a lot of rest but, I just came here to have a little chat with you if you do not mind,” Xavier said sweetly as he walked into the room making sure that the door behind him is shut.
Xavier couldn’t help it when he walked out of the lady’s room a while ago, he felt guilty, and although it was unnecessarily, but then, what more can be done now, especially when he is already here? all he had to do is to walk to the kitchen and demand for a tray of tea. He asked for milk and sugar, and he asked for the maids to allow it because he wanted to do it himself.
“No, I wasn’t sleeping at all,” Ruby muttered out.
As she sighed, the lady glared at the man in front of her, and she sniffed hard.
“Were you crying?” Xavier asked raising his grows.
It is kind of awkward, he couldn’t believe that Ruby is not doing well like the way he wants it, he feels so bad knowing that she was actually cryng, and this he did his best to make her feel comfortable.
“No, I was not,” Ruby lied.
She was lying through her teeth, and there isn’t much she can do about it. The more she glared at the man, her heartbeat accelerated too much.
“Why are you lying?” the young man asked as he sat in front of the lady.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Ruby’s heartbeat had now accelerated, she found it difficult to think about anything possible, the more she glared at the man, she tried her best hiding her face from the man’s own.
“Alright, I am lying, there is no point lying to you about the fact that I was crying. I am sorry about that,” Ruby apologized.
She muttered, her voice was light, and there isn’t much that she can do about it.
Xavier stared at the man in front of her, she was pretty, and watching at her made his heart to melt almost immediately, there isn’t much to think about.
Several things had taken place and the the manner in which he stared at her was just in a way that will make her weep. There isn’t much to talk about it, as he glared at the lady in front of her, Xavier knew that there wasn’t much to even talk about. Heaving a gentle sigh, the young man shook his head from left to right as he decided to talk about it.
“I know that you are in pain, but please, you need to stop crying because it will not do you any good crying all evening. Now tell me, how do you feel now?” the man asked as his eyes plastered at the lady’s own.
The question hit Ruby as a ball, she couldn’t comprehend what is going on, and as she swayed her head from the man’s own, she couldn’t help but make things worse.
“I am not fine, the pain on my leg is just consuming me too much, but I think that is alright, I would not complain about it,” Ruby spat out.
Ruby had said these things out of the store of her heart, but whatt more can she do about it? the more she kept her eyes down, she felt the man’s hands in hers, but then, she couldn’t assist the way in which she does her things.
Good enough for her, there isn’t much that she can do about it. At once, she wanted Xavier to talk.
