He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 10

Hailey's

POV

"Come with me" he yelled. "NOW"

With trembling legs, I tried to follow him, but my legs had already given up, they just didn't move. He looked at me one more time, before taking my hand, rather harshly and dragging me all the way downstairs. He took me to some corridor, and the name of the last room of it took my soul with immense fear.

T*****e Room.

"S-sir?" I asked.

"Don't worry Corazon, this time it isn't for you. But, I... uh... guessed you should get a glimpse of the one you're living with. Open the door" he said.

I looked at him with complete fear, and then I took a step forward. All the possibilities of the worst things started rushing in my mind.

What could be inside? Some room filled with blood? Just shut the fuck Hailey, you're now scaring yourself. He's not a murderer...

Oh, sure he is! He almost killed Alex!

I think I'm confused with myself. I need time to think about everything. I think-

"Open the damn door, Hailey!" he yelled and I was taken aback. I looked at him.

He was having a dangerous aura, and all I wanted was to run away somewhere, he wouldn't ever, ever replace me, and that could be heaven.

He'll go to hell, not heaven, right?

Or if he goes to heaven, then I'll go to hell because staying with him even in heaven is the greater hell, I mean...

I stopped my trail of thoughts when I was pushed harshly against the door. The door didn't open, but two hands came on both of my sides, with Robert who was hovering over me now. "I said something," he said. "You don't want me to repeat it"

"I... I.."

"Again a rule broke," he said.

"W-what? W-which?" I asked.

Hell, I didn't even do anything.

"You know that," he said.

"I... I don't k-know!" I said.

"You stuttered, bitch!" he yelled. I shifted my head more backward, and it collided with the door.

"So, now what punishment do you wish for?" he asked with a smirk.

"I... I, I'm sorry" I said, and I tried my level best not to stutter.

"There are no sorries, babes," he said. "I have a variety of ways to punish you" he added. "Even the ones, after which you'll beg me to kill you"

My face paled, my heartbeat raced, and my eyes welled up in tears at his words.

"So, open the door now," he said calmly. He went a little backward, giving me space to get away from the door and finally open it.

With a creaking sound, it opened.

Yes, it did make a creaking sound this time.

Or maybe I was hallucinating.

The room was dark, I couldn't see a single thing. But my other senses became numb when the smell hit me.

Raw blood.

Even with those numb senses, I was getting a more and more clear picture of what was going on, because the next thing I heard made me run away from the door. Deafening cries and screams.

But before I could run away clearly, Robert pulled my hand and I landed on his chest.

"At least wait for a little, Corazon," he said and I started crying. Those noises and that smell were making me want to throw up or at least I wanted to blackout at that instant. I was feeling nauseated.

"Turn on the lights, Max," Robert said inside the room.

Infraction of seconds, the room was filled with light and the view caught me off guard.

A room filled with blood at different places. Some sentences are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Ebookex.com. Visit Ebookex.com to read the complete chapters for free. Different tools like knives, guns, and other weapons hanging on the walls, coated with raw blood. There was a man tied on the chair, who was bleeding profusely. On seeing precisely, I noticed that his fingers were cut off. There were three men in the room other than us. One of them was Max, I suppose. His hands were covered in blood and so were the others.

"Kill me, please!!" the man tied on the chair begged Robert.

Robert went near him and kept his hand on his chin, the grip must be rather tight because he winced in pain. Robert made him look towards him.

"Gotta cut your tongue, I see," he said. My eyes widened in fear, and I took two steps back. I was ready to run away at any moment. If I stay here, I can be in that man's place any second.

"Don't run, Corazon, there's so much you should know" he said, not looking at me. I froze in my place.

Better do what he says.

He stood up and looked towards one of the men.

"Ron, you're allowed to take your revenge without killing him"

Then he turned to the second man.

"Well, Cane, you are supposed to make sure he doesn't die, of course, I wouldn't take you from completing your revenge either" Then he turned to the third one.

"And Max. Well, after you all have done your work, give him to me. I'll like to take the honor" and with that, he looked towards me. "Interesting, right? Corazon?" he said and smirked while taking my hand and pulling me out of the room.
