Sold To Mr President

Ruby’s eyes were glued the entire time that Xavier made his speech, he saw love in his words, she knew that there was hope in what he said, it was amazing, she loved eachline he said and there was a longing for that.

“What is this little witch watching to an extent of being hypnotized?” Ethan asked as he walked into the ward.

Ruby had a teardrop rolling of her eyes, and he got mad at her being too emotional. Swirling his head towards the TV set in the room, it was awkward, and Ethan’s face was now a shade of anger. He could not believe that Ruby had being listening to Xavier’s speech, It made his stomach to rumble from anger, he hated the fact that the lady was just being too crazy, he couldn’t even think about Xavier corrupting Ruby too.

“Are you stupidor what? crying over Xavier Barley?” Ethan spat out disdainfully.

At this moment, Ruby noticed she had shed a tear or two, and she removed her hand from her side, quickly wiping her eyes. That was important, more than the word, and as her eyes bored on the man’s own, he felt so sorry for herself.

“I am sorry, Ethan, just that the man’s words were charming, it felt so good listening to him,” she said gently.

It was a weird way to say it, in fact, she had this crazy look, her eyes were blinking, and untop of that, the manner in which the lady pouted her lips out, it just got the man so furious.

“Get up, from there, Ruby, we are leaving,” Ethan spat out.

Yes, Ethan had a bad plan, and being in a hospital will cause suspicions, which is something he doesn’t want for himself, not at all. It is Ruby’s fault, and she hates the young lady’s guts to hell. Truth be told, everything Xavier had said was the truth, the way he had said he wanted to eradicate the mafia’s in the town, if that is the case, then Ruby shouldn’t be crying because It meant that Ethan will be affected by that policy unless she likes him to suffer, and if that is the case, then, Ethan will be the first to cause the lady harm.

Reflecting on all these things, Ethan grew mad at the lady, and he walked towards her with agility. As Ruby saw him coming, she knew that she wouldn’t likely come out of this alive. She knew what Ethan had told her earlier, they don’t know one another, thus, she needs to work with it that way, and that’s it, especially when she doesn’t want to Draw attention towards her side because it might as well be the end of something she wouldn’t be able to finish so soon.

“Where are we leaving to?” the young lady asked raising her brows up.

“Home, I am taking you to my house, where else did you think I was taking you to? Xavier’s house? of course not, and you will have to pray hard for him to save you from a mafia’s grasp,” Ethan said calmly whispering against her ears.

This caused a light shiver to cross the lady’s spine, she was scared of the outcome, yet did not have the courage to sell Ethan out. It was awkward, the strangest of all kinds, and the more he looked at her, the more Ruby had the urge to cry.

Sniffing, Ruby tried her best not to cry, it will be a wayto show Ethan that she is weak. Well, Ethan had a whole plan of his own, and he needed to start by pulling Ruby away from the place, it is really going to be a hard task, but has he hopes that he sucheeds in his mission as well.

“I’ve paid the bills, thus, you should be grateful, I do not want to hear a ward from you, and you wouldn’t speak bad about me while we are out there, if you do well, you will have the chance to keep me and you from trouble, okay? have I made myself clear?” Ethan asked as he raised his brows.

It was bizarre to do so, but then, there is nothing she can do about it right now. Since she wasted time to reply, Ethan grabbed her neck from behind and squeezed it a little harder, it was a painful thing to do, but then, that was it.

“Yes, Ethan, ouch! that hurts,” she screamed out.

At this moment, Ethan released his grasp from her neck as he led her be.

“Good girl, you should always behave like this all the time then you are sure to have a long life expectancy,” he spat out in a stupid manner.

“Is everything, alright?” the doctor asked as he walked away from the door approaching them.

Ruby watched how Ethan got out of the bed and lied through his teeth, she shared him even more for that matter, making matters worse.

“Yes, doctor, I was just telling Ruby that she will be staying with me for a while since I can’t fund for any surgery now, or more keep her here whole the bills are accummulating. I hope that I have money to take her here constantly for the bone straightening,” Ethan lied again.

Ruby who laid there heard about these things for the first time and almost chocked out. How on earth could Ethan hide such a vital informationn away from her? not only that, but again, these things are new to her, and yet he is pretending like it is her choice. Deep down in the lady’s mind, she knows that she could have done these things and in an easy way as well, but no! that is not the case because all these things now look strange to her ears, and the worst of it is that, there is barely anything she can do about it as well.

Before the doctor could say anything, Ethan spat out again, blocking any chances of him saying anything to him.

“If you do not mind, I will love to take lady home, she needs rest, more than enough rest, thus, we better start going,” Ethan said.

He kept his low, he had every reason to say that, and the way he said it was just awkward, he didn’t want anything to happen with him, especially if the doctor is suspicious, that wouldn’t be a good idea at all.

“Sure, let me get a wheelchair to accompany you to your car, when you have money, you can buy her one when you have the money,” the doctor said.

At once, the man went out to bring the wheelchair and the moment Ethan swirled around, he was attacked with Ruby’s question.

“When did you know?” Ruby asked shooting the question directly into Ethan’s face.

Ethan knew at once what Ruby had meant and he pretended like he did not hear what she had said, and as he walked towards her, Ethan tried helping her, but Ruby raised her hand to slap him. Unfortunately for her, the young man grabbed her hand before it could reach his skin. At once, he tightened his grip on her wrist, till he almost snapped it, and as if that was not enough, he pushed it aside.

“Just shut the fuck up and everything will be fine for you and I, lady,” Ethan threatened.

It looked more deadly but Ruby knew best to mind her business for a moment, and not get entangled with Ethan’s problems. For sure, she knew about that, but then, that is it, especially as she clearly did not want to see anything happen right now.

“Reply to me then if you want me to keep quiet, I can not believe that you can be this heartless, Ethan, I hate your guts so badly,” Ruby spat out to the man.

Ethan had the intention on slapping the lady, but then, that was quite unfortunate because the doctor came in with the wheelchair. A slow smile pulled out around the corners of her lips, and even though she knew it was temporal, Ethan will surely harm her later, that is soemthing that is not even debateable, and the pain from It got the best of her.

Ethan had a hold of her, as he made his way towards the wheelchair.

On the wheelchair, the lady tried her best not to cry, she did not want to cause a scene here.

Ethan had made sure that Ruby was sitted in the car favorably, and he rushed towards the side of his car, opened it and sat comfortably behind the steering. As he steamed the engine, Ruby felt insecured already. She needed a week or two days of bed rest, the doctor had prescribed it for her, but she knows that it is going to be an impossible journey right now.

“I hate you, Ethan, I mean, why will you just spoil my life this way and find it okay? what did I ever do to you?” Ruby spat out as she burst out in tears.

They were alone now, and Ethan had the whole control of the situation as he pulled out of the hospital and into the main road. He was surely going to deal with Ruby because he is tired of hearing her talk all the time, her words irritates her so much, and the way in which she just pretends like everything is alright, and it is normal to do some certain things just make him want to suppress Ruby.

Well, Ruby has no support, whatever he does to her, no one will ever find out about it, which is even worse, but then, what can she even do? nothing, absolutely nothing at all. As she heaved a sigh, that awakward, but as usual, she needed to speak out her heart out, Ethan was going to know that things aren’t working well for her, which turns out to make matters worse for her.

Ethan tried to stay focus on the road, and it made Ruby furious, she haded the fact that the man barely had her attention, she literally grew mad and thus, wanted to scream at the man, to make him know that she hates him, and also everything about him.

“I don’t even know what made me go to work that day, and something in me said let me not go, but then, I was scared of losing my job, had I known, I would have listened to me instincts, but no! I don’t even know if I was just being stupid, but look at where I am now, entangled with an idiot, he doesn’t even know how to value a lady, I tell you, Ethan, you should have just killed me, I tell you the truth,” Ruby spat out.

Ethan was now getting fed up with this whole issue, he knew that it will bring him a big problem, and thus, he felt like it was advisable if he deals with Ruby at once. Killing her wasn’t a possible solution now. because he will have to deal with the problem, and considering the fact that he his trying his best to focus on the road was a challenge for him to look at him constantly.

“Ruby, if you will just keep your mouth shut, then it will be good for you and I. Just be still, we will be home, and your punishment will be served to you just like the way you want it,” Ethan said Calmly.

The only good thing in his mind right now is that he has left the road, and they were approaching the remote bridge whereee the big river flows freely below him. He didn’t want to dispose her body in the river, but it was slowly turning into an option, it was a clear one, but then, there is nothing he could possibly do about it.

Ruby was slowly losing her patience, but Ethan did not have her time, but then, she was clearly doing something bad.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
