He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 42

Robert's POV

I woke up and I felt her eyes fixed on me. I decided not to let her know, to know how long she can stare at me, but hell she stared at me for... so long, I can't believe that!

I finally caught her hand as she tried to touch my hair. I mean, my hair is nothing but rough.

Anyway, I got up, and when she went to check her hair in the mirror; the light suddenly went off.

It has happened before. Whenever that Nicholson attacks, the lights go off. But that is unlikely to happen here, this building is secure.

So, I just went and switched on the light and she was fine.

Gosh, she gave me a heart attack.

If I have a heart.

After eating breakfast, and also after denying her from going to the office with me, I left for work.

I was kind of taken aback when she told me that I should eat lunch today as if she knew I didn't eat yesterday.

How does she know that?

Maybe, because she is my wife.

On the way, I went to meet Max. I am gonna bring him home especially with me.

He was already fine, so I took him with me to MO. I didn't go to LO today, Xander said he can manage it.

As Max entered the building and after the security was locked, he spoke. "Robert. See this" he said and showed me what looked like a video.

I saw it, it was a media footage of... Summer?

Summer, Nicholson's girlfriend. She was telling the media that she and he are going out of the country.

"So now he is out of the country, we can lose a little bit and try to maintain LO more than-"

"Not at all, Max. Don't you understand?" I asked looking at Max, who was acting like a real fool right now. "Of course, he is lying. He is not leaving the country!"Some sentences are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Ebookex.com. Visit Ebookex.com to read the complete chapters for free. "But they both went to the airport and Summer was seen on the flight-"

"Yes, Summer was seen and not him. He must have let her go to make us believe that he left too. We can't loosen up a bit right now, okay?" I exclaimed as I made my way to the main hall with Max.

"Okay boss"

"Robert" I corrected him.

"Out of practice, I guess," he said while sitting on his seat.

"So fast? Anyways, get ready and don't think even for a second that he has left, okay?" I confirmed them and they nodded.

I spent some more time checking all bases and making sure that the system and the servers are working fine. The surveillance system was also working all well and good and I don't think that we possess any danger any time soon.

I left the MO and decided to go to my legal office, I could use some time there.

I went there and completed the paperwork I saw on my desk yesterday. Nothing much, I just had to sign a million times.

No hyperbole intended.

I went back to my house at 3 itself. I wanted to have lunch with her.

Nicholson's POV

I was planning the attack on Robert when he planned to return home. But dammit, he didn't return a single day before the day she was discharged.

Still, I tried my best and as my men's car went near theirs, they told me that Hailey was in the car.

So, they had to pull the brake and didn't hit the car. I don't wanna hurt Hailey.

So, I postponed the attack. He is not so concentrated on his work nowadays. His business is facing loss-both.

And no one will be happier than I am. I mean, he is so off mood and I am fully benefited by that.

I even think that he may think that I have left the country. But maybe he doesn't, so I have to be on a cover and make him believe that I have left the country. Let's not show that I am here for some months. He will believe that I am not here anymore. And he'll let down his guard.

And that's what I want.

Summer contacted me yesterday, telling me that everything is fine there. She bought a new phone. By the way, she has gone to South Korea. She always said how beautiful it was and that she always wanted to visit it.

Anyway, I have to plot a really good plan in these months. I can't just sit around and let the time pass.

Cassie came to me as I sat on the sofa.

"Nick," she said whilst sitting beside me. "Are you okay?"

"What happened to me?" I asked, looking at her.

"You seem.... Off?"

"Off? No!"

"Okay, good," she said and stood up. "Nick. I wanted your permission"

"Hm for what?" I asked.

"I wanna study in Russia"

"Why Russia? Here's everything good. You can go to LA if you feel like"

"No... Please Nick"

"No means no, Cas. It is not safe there"

"Why is it not safe? When it is safe for everyone else?" she asked suddenly, anger hinting at her words. "Because you are different!" I replied.

"No, I am not!" She replied and stood up. "I just don't get it!"

"Cas, please. Don't make me repeat me"

"You... You only love your girlfriend! I am leaving!" she yelled and started going when I grabbed her arm. "No, you aren't"

"So, you don't deny that you only love Summer?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

"What? That is not it, Cassie! I love you!"

"Still you never share anything with me. You restrict me for everything" she said and sat on the sofa. "Why?" "Cas..."

"No, tell me!" she yelled.

"Go back to your room," I said as I was getting angry and she was the last one I wanna vent my anger on.

"Not today!" she yelled angrily.

"Cas... look. Don't forget you are not my real sister. You are just here because you are an orphan!" I accidentally spat. I regretted it because I saw her getting sad. "I can-" "What? Assault me??" she yelled.

"I-I didn't say that! Please, Cas leave"

"Fine!" she left the room.

Just a few more months, you won't be in danger anymore, Cassie.

I will end this, very soon.
