Chapter 34 Silver platter
Ruby’s words in Ethan’s ears were like daggers, she hated the fact that the lady had to lie to him. Like seriously, he could accept everything coming from this lady, but when it has to do with lies telling, he was not an advocate for that shit, and he was clearly going to make his point clear over and over.
As if controlled by the fact that the lady had lied to him, Ethan slapped her across the face and the effect was that she burst out crying immediately after the slap fell on her face.
This was strange, more than anything she has ever got to face, and the stress from it was about killing her. Nothing hurt like the pains she felt, it was universal, and thus, she couldn’t even see herself stopping anytime soon.
“Ruby, how many times will I tell you to stop lying to me? I knew you to be a waitress and not a whore, what I saw tonight has made me doubt about your authenticity. Like seriously, if you would just tell me the number of men you’ve gone out with right under my nose, then I might as well forgive you. Now, confess everything. Yes, will you tell me everything now?” he shouted.
Ethan groaned in pain as his throat might probably be hurting him for shouting this much but he needed an answer, and his anger was definitely getting the best of him, more than what he can actually think about. Hissing, the young man shook his head from left to right, he barely had anything to tell her if she doesn’t want to lose a member of her body or something.
Ruby knew that what Ethan was asking her to say is something she hasn’t done before. Like seriously, she hasn’t been sleeping around with, and she dreads that so much, just the fear he ignites on her each time he has an affair with her is just so unforgettable, she always has this yearning to run away, her body just gets violated in every way possible, and the worst of it Is just that she can’t do anything about.
“Ethan, please, let go of me, what I am saying is that I am innocent from all these allegations you are laying on me, I’ve never had an affair with anyone except you, believe me, Ethan,” Ruby muttered in a tearful voice.
Ethan didn’t believe a damn about what Ruby said, but for some reasons known to him, he woke up from her body as he felt
her panting so much as if her life suddenly depended on it. He hated her guts right now and knew that if he doesn’t control his anger, it will surely get the best of him, which is clearly something he doesn’t want to happen.
As he brushed away from Ruby’s body, the lady tried her best to remove her body from the floor. She was in pain, blood was now coming out of her mouth, and she felt the pain in her body. There is nothing that she can even do about it.
As Ruby arranged her position on the carpet, she started at Ethan with pain in her eyes, she was so damn tired to even explain to this man that she is innocent. Like seriously, and she blames all these things on himself, she deserves it, had it being that she had asked Collins to go and had stood her grounds on what she said, all these things wouldn’t have ended up like this, hell no! but then, what can she do about it? nothing at all. Ethan had seen Collins bow in front of her, and the way he was too close even if it was not her lips that were touched, everything there was just a hassle, especially as she can’t understand how that shit happened so fast. Sighing, the young man decided to breathe in and out as much as he can, he was so damn tired of telling the truth to this man, even if she did, and no matter how hard she tries on convincing him, all her efforts seem to go in vain and that is the struggle about it, she can barely think positively about all these things, her head aches her so much.
As Ruby managed to stand on her feet, she used the back of her hand to clean her eyes with it, she quite needed to do that because was important in case she doesn’t know about it. Sighing, she had the urge to disappear from this world, or more, tell him that this is all a misunderstanding. Yes, she had never wished to be seen with a man on the road because she fears and respects the man so much, but then, it seems like all these silly talks are just for her right now, It practically makes no sense right now and the fact that she had her mind wrapped around those things, it will kind of sound awkward for now.
“Ethan?” Ruby called out in a calm voice.
Ethan wasn’t looking her way, and he was kind of serious about being this way. The young man’s anger had now climbed to his head, he definitely hares everything about the lady, and he means it when he says everything. He wished he could have her so badly, to cause her so much pain that till her last days on earth, she will still remember the scars each time he looks at it, but for now, it seemed to be an impossible task, something that is rare to find, and thinking about it right now is just that he wants to be left alone.
“Leave me alone,” Ethan blurted out fiercely.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
The tone he used caused the lady to be offended, and as she glared at him with raised eyebrows, she had the anxiety to walk over there and kick him in the middle of his legs. Well, that would turn into a reality if she tries it, and would equally be dead before she realizes it, which happens to be something she doesn’t want to risk her life for.
Ruby would have not said anything in most cases, and also thought that she has the solution to Ethan’s mood. Thinking about it this way, the lady’s mind was only focused on making the young man come around, and she thought that if she explains it well to him, maybe he can stick by his side, one can never tell unless she tries it out. Her plan was to explain the whole truth and let the man judge it for himself, and even if he has no conscience, his wisdom will pique him to judge this case with some common sense__ so she thought.
“Ethan, please listen to me,” the young lady pleaded as she glared at Ethan’s broad back trying to figure out what would probably be going on in his mind.
For now, she can’t think of anything reasonable till she sees that herself.
“What do you want? if you didn’t hear me well, I said you should leave an alone,” Ethan spat out in disgust.
He was so damn serious about the words that left his mouth, he wished the lady will heed to it and go away, she just wanted her to go upstairs to her room, the day has been quite tiring for her especially if she did have an affair with her. Thinking about it made Ethan grind her ears with anger, and the worst of it is that the young lady had not seen this coming. How on earth could he even notice all these things if he didn’t focus?
Yes, if Ethan had been focused on Ruby for quite a while now, he would have noticed her on and off business, she would have at least none better to have let her go out all the time, this is the cause why all these things have happened, Ruby would have been caught in time when her affairs with men just started, so he thought.
“I know you are mad at me, Ethan, but please, just let me explain things to you, I promise you that it is worth listening to, I promise you that,” she muttered out sweetly.
The lady’s voice was filled with uncertainty, she was basically not even sure of what she wanted to say, yet, she kept the trust up that she can at least convince the man. Deep down in Ruby’s mind, she knew that this was a failed course, she just wanted to seek notice and in case she doesn’t know, she will soon seek for her life to be rescued.
The worst part of it was the fact that Ethan wasn’t even interested in all these things, he had already made up his mind and came up with the solution that he wanted Ruby to go to her room, that is what is so damn important to him, and that is all, only if she had known about this fact, only if she would have known better than to leave, all this shit that followed would have been avoided one or two munites before its actual start.
Ethan swirled around to face the lady’s face, and his own was a shade of anger, he looked like a beast, an untamed animal, and was he walked menacingly towards the lady, she tried her best to step behind too. Fortunately, Ethan wasn’t in for a cat and dog play, he just wanted her to stop provoking him, at least, that is all he is asking for, no more no less.
Since Ruby was proving to be stubborn, he thought that threatening her a little will make her back off, and not more than that was he expecting to happen.
“You little harlot, what the hell do you want from me tonight? to punish you huh? yes, I fucking know that I have to punish you, but for now, I have several things to digest down my throat,, I will advise you to leave me alone. Ruby, you disgust me, you think that you were good, and now this, all I have to see is a lady that I’ve sacrificed so much for her, and all she’s got to offer me is deception on a silver platter. To hell with you and whosoever that guy was…” Ethan muttered in anger.
The words just kept spilling out of his throat like no other, but then, he had not concluded what he was saying, this is because Ruby had cut in when he was trying to explain something important to him.
“Collins,” Ruby spat out provocatively.
She knows that Ethan doesn’t know the young man, and so pissing him off, even more, will help him get to his senses.
Ruby has never been proud of the fact that the man in front of him is a jealous type, such a thing had never popped into his head except now, and this is quite strange, more than anything he has ever experienced in life, it is just so impossible, and the thoughts were striking to know that. Apart from that, she is in a better position to know that provoking people isn’t a cool thread anymore, yet calling Collins’s name in this discussion was something she would have clearly avoided.
In fact, swirling her back and walking away is one of the things that aren’t possible, and wouldn’t even happen just like that. As she brushed her mind from all these things she thought that it was only getting funnier to tease the hell out of the man standing in front of her. She doesn’t fucking care about him, hell no! just the fact that it was a weak point to him can be quite an advantage on him, just that eloping is one of the things that she doesn’t want it to happen, hell no! like it will be the worst day of her life especially if Ethan has to capture her. The story will be too hard to explain.
