He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 27

Hailey's POV

I was sitting in his car and he was driving insanely. I couldn't even gather up the courage to ask him why or where were we going.

I still had the gun in my hands and trust me, it was enough to scare the hell out of me.

"Robert... This gun" I said.

"Keep it with you. Shoot if you see anyone coming towards you except me and Max"

"What if Ron or Cane come?"

"They are not here; they have more important work"

"Okay..." I said.

I didn't know what was going on. He is just driving and I am sitting in the back seat. He also has a gun that he always carries and one in the car too. But the one in the car seems to be locked. I mean, there's a password. "W-Where are we going?" I asked.

"Max will take you to a safe place after I get down. Just go wherever he says"

"Max...?"

"Any problems?"

"No... But Max?"

He stopped the car abruptly and looked towards me. "Are you afraid of him? Does he do something wrong?"

"What? No no, there is nothing like that!"

"Okay," he continued driving.

"For your reference, we are- sorry, you are going to Apartment C and you have to go to room number B6, don't enter any other room. No matter what happens, you have to reach that room. Some sentences are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on

And if you receive any call then you have to get out of the room that instant, whether from a window or any place, I don't care. Just get out that moment"

That was too much to grasp.

"Okay... Is everything okay?"

"Hm," he replied.

"Now I am gonna get off," he said.

"Robert..." I said. He looked at me. "Is it dangerous?"

"I am a man of danger; you should have figured that out by now," he said.

"Ah... Take care" I said.

He looked at me with a shocked expression. "Okay," he said and left.

A moment later, Max entered the car. He looked at me for a split second and then started driving.

"Robert told you the room number and password?" he asked.

"Yes, he did. What's happening Max?"

"I can't tell you... I am sorry"

"Okay..." I said. He looked at the seat next to him.

"Take the phone," he said.

"Huh?"

"Take the phone on the passenger's seat"

I leaned forward and saw a brand-new phone kept on the seat. Its box was also there. It was packed.

I took it and sat back.

"Complete the configuration until we reach there. It's gonna take a while"

I switched on the phone. It was an iPhone 12. I was so happy.

I completed the configuration and then Max gave me his phone.

"Find Robert's number and add it to your contacts. Only if he calls then you have to get out. If it's an unknown number, do not get out" "Okay," I said and took his phone.

It all sounds so dangerous.

I added his number to contacts and gave him his phone back.

"Max... Robert will be fine, right?" I asked.

"Yes. I hope so... Listen, Hailey. He doesn't want me to help him. He can't do this alone... He can't!" he said.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"He doesn't trust me and in no way, he wants me to fight for him"

"Will you?"

"I will. I will because he is in grave danger and I have to help him out"

"Why doesn't he trust you!?"

"He thinks that I am the one who gave Nicholson access to his phone"

"Oh seriously!? I can't believe this"

"Yeah"

He continued driving and I prayed that Robert is alright. I don't know what is happening but he is in danger and now it is confirmed. "Please save him, Max," I said.

"I will. Don't worry, I promise you he will be fine"

"Thank you, Max. And take care of yourself also"

"Thanks," he said.

I kept quiet for the rest of the ride and we soon reached a building.

"Bye. I am leaving. Call me if you want anything. I have to reach on time"

"Yes, thank you. Stay safe and keep Robert safe"

"Yes," he said and left.

I went inside the apartment and found the room. I entered the code and locked the room, I sat down.

I wonder what that code means?

Does it even mean anything!?

Max's POV

I left the apartment and reached the place where Robert was.

We have been attacked.

And this is their base. We can take their boss down; everything will be fine.

Hailey is in the most secure room right now. But still, things can go wild resulting in danger for her. But that's in the rarest case.

Robert doesn't trust me at all and won't let me fight for him. But he should know that this is one of the most difficult things and he needs help.

Our men are on their way. Some have already arrived, but some are coming. Their men have already started fighting, so... It is already kind of dangerous.

As I reached there and Robert saw me, he yanked towards me.

"Why are you here?"

"Please let me help you"

"I don't want your fucking help just leave!"

He was way too furious. "Focus on the enemy, please," I said.

He looked towards the enemy and the firing started already. I was also helping a bit, but it looked like he made sure he manages everything himself. I mean... Every time we used to divide the areas. But this time, he is killing in every area. Suddenly I saw someone coming to shoot Robert from behind while he was shooting two men in front of him.

"Robert!" I said but he didn't listen.

I ran to push him out of the way but the bullet was about to fire. So, I instead came in between the bullet and him and took the shot.

I winced in pain as the bullet made its way inside my abdomen. Robert turned around and saw me. I saw his eyes widening in shock.

He immediately got out of that state and started firing all over. Soon other men joined, and as expected, we took down their all men. Robert came down to me. "Hold on, Max. The ambulance is coming" he said.

I smiled at him. At least I fulfilled my promise.
