He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 14

Hailey's POV

He looked at my lips for some more time and then licked his own. He leaned closer to me... Close enough to touch our noses. Then he stared into my eyes. That time his eyes were not like they usually are, cold and black. They were brown. A slight light in it. They were shining.

I was lost in him when he connected our lips. A new fire ignited into me. But before I could even interpret what he did, or before that peck would convert into a passionate kiss, he got away. He then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. God knows how much thankful I was!

'but you wanted it' my inner girl said.

'shut the shit!' I replied mentally.

"Don't ever care about me!" he said and left the room.

Huh, at that time I was really happy he left. I was so afraid.

But the gun was still on the floor. I slowly picked it up.

Only touching its metal gave me goosebumps.

I wanted to return it because I would shoot myself at some point if I have this.

You know, impulse decisions.

And also throwing it away would only cause me more trouble because he can have as many as he wants, this won't change a thing.

I tiptoed downstairs and started searching for him. In the track, I came across Cane and... Ron.

"Mrs. Hailey?" they said.

"I... uh... I was looking for Robert Sir" I said.

"uh mam boss is not here," Cane said. "Do you need anything?"

"I... uh... can you return this gun to him?" I asked. He immediately took it and nodded.

I nodded back and went back to my room.

It's been three days and he hadn't returned. He hasn't come back. Max is here, he came yesterday. His shoulder, knuckles, and thigh were shot. Now he's fine. Or he says so.

How can he be fine in just two days?

I don't know why; I'm waiting for him... I know I'm stupid to say this, but I kind of want to talk to him.

Nope, get that shit out of your head.

I just want to meet my family.

And for that, I have to meet him.

"When will Robert Sir return?" I asked Max who was standing at my room's gate, asking me if I want anything.

"He didn't tell us and practically we have no right to ask him either"

"You do, I know," I said. He looked at me with shock.

"How do you know?"

"And you're just not asking him because he's angry with you"

"Well, if he was, I wouldn't have been here..." he said. "Or... maybe he is. Because he always visits whenever our men are shot, but he didn't visit me. But it's fine because it was my mistake" "uh, well, okay then," I said and he left.

Everyone has a fear for him, huh?

I was practically missing his presence here, and yes, I know, exactly how crazy it is.

He returned after a long break, just right at 2:45 AM. I was awake, I usually am. I can't sleep at night, don't ask me the reason, frankly saying, I don't know it myself.

He came inside the room. I didn't get up, I pretended that I was asleep.

"You don't need to act, you know?" he said sliding next to me. I released the breath I was holding and looked at him.

"How did you even know that!" I said with mysterious confidence in my voice.

Firstly, I asked a question, directly to him.

Secondly, I didn't stutter.

Thirdly, I am looking straight into his eyes.

Woah.

"You weren't breathing," he said. "That's why it's essential to maintain a calm and composed structure when you're not wanting the other person noticing you" Right now, he was a completely different person.

Calm.

Sensible.

Cute.

Lovely.

Handsome as hell.

and most importantly, Understanding.

I like this Robert better.

Fuck Hailey, you don't like ANY Robert!

"Oh," I said. He closed his eyes. I didn't speak anything, he should sleep, he returned this late and gets up at a god-knows-what time.

But then my eyes fell on his hand.

What the hell?

He hadn't changed his bandage in these three days!?!

It's not like I marked the bandage with some cheesy 'get well soon' line, but yes, there was a sticker, a rather rare sticker, and it's there and at the same position as before. It's highly improbable that he changed it and everything is the same. "S-sir?" I said.

Welcome back, stuttering Hailey.

"Hm?" he said.

Oh god, his husky sleepy voice...

Shut. Up. Hailey. Cameron!

"T-the bandage, it's still the same. Y-you will be infected if you didn't change it. M-may I?" I asked.

His eyes snapped open and in a swift moment, he pulled me over him. I looked at him wide-eyed.

"You are still caring?" he asked in a really tired voice.

I know I should let him sleep. But he will get infection and-

"Fuck Hailey, you're just forcing me to hurt you!" he yelled. I flinched at his voice.

"I-it's just... y-you know... You, Will, Get Infection, Mr. Robert, Please Let Me Change It" I said with a sudden rise in my tone.

uh-uh, my inner doctor always wakes up at the wrong times.

"Come on let me show you why you shouldn't care about me," he said in a blunt voice. I didn't know what he was saying or what he was gonna do, so I nodded. He got up, and so did I.

He took me to the corner of the room and broke two glasses kept there on the floor. I was freaked out at the crackling noise and the rage with which he did that.

He then pushed me over the glass pieces. The sudden pain hit me on its peaks.

"Ahh, Robert!" I yelled.

"Come on Corazon, you care for me, right? I love to see you in pain. This is what makes me happy. So, go on!"

I closed my eyes and tears automatically made their way down my cheeks.

Why, Robert. Why are you like this?
