He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 50

Robert's POV

"There is news" Max called me.

I kept on walking out of my house while humming, "Hm"

"Ah... Mrs. Hailey... she was at Ervin's house"

"WHAT!?"

"Y-Yeah... I-I don't know anything else. The tracker in her purse showed that she stayed there for like half an hour and then she went to Apartment C and now.... Apartment A" "Are you sure?"

"Yes"

"Okay" I cut the call and went back inside.

I am not mad at you for going there, Hailey.

But why didn't you tell me?

I am your husband.

I should know.

I went inside and ate the dinner made by the cook- she was feeling ill, she didn't eat anything.

I went to the room at night and found her sleeping. Or maybe... she was awake.

I went to take shower and then laid beside her. I somehow sensed that maybe she was awake.

"Hey," I said and she opened her eyes.

"Hey"

"You love me?"

She was shocked by my sudden question but replied. "Yes"

"Then" I decided to confront her, so I laid down comfortably. "Tell me why were you at Ervin's house"

She looked at me wide-eyed and turned towards the other side. "I am sleepy"

I didn't say anything for a second, but I could sense deep breaths from her.

"Hailey..."

She didn't reply, but I could feel her deep breaths- getting even heavier.

I turned her around and I saw a tear in her eye. I was shocked.

Why is she crying?

"Hailey? What happened? Did he hurt you-"

"N-No" she replied and got a little away.

"Then why?"

"I-I am afraid"

"Afraid? Why? Of whom are you afraid?" I asked but she just nodded her head in denial.

I went over her, with my weight on both of my sides and her face inches away. I could see her beautiful, mesmerizing eyes.

"Tell me," I said calmly, but she just denied it again.

"TELL ME DAMN IT!!" I lost it this time and yelled and she started crying.

"YOU!! IT IS YOU WHO I AM AFRAID OF!!" She yelled back and I yanked back from her.

She started breathing heavily and in no time, she was hyperventilating. I rubbed her back until she recovered.

"Hailey... I-I..."

She raised her hand telling me to stop. "P-lease"

"I-I am sorry, Hailey" I apologized as guilt took over me.

Did I yell at her?

Why!?

She didn't reply and turned away from me. I kept my hand around her waist and hugged her from the back.

"Hailey. I am sorry. I shouldn't have..."

"It is not about yelling, Robert," She said in a broken voice. "It's about trust"

"What trust?"

"You trust me? That... I didn't go to meet your enemy on purpose?"

"Yes! Of course, I-"

"Then why do you need to ask me every time I go out? That whom I meet, whom I talked with? I-I don't have any problems in telling you, but..." she turned to face me. "It is about trust" I realized my mistake and pulled her in a hug. "I am sorry. I-I was wrong. You are right. I will keep that in mind"

I got away and she smiled faintly.

"Thanks"

"Sorry"

"Never heard you saying sorry so much" she raised an eyebrow.

"Maybe I wasn't regretting anything this much"

She smiled and hugged me. "It is fine"

"Thanks" I replied, keeping her in my arms.

"By the way, I was-"

"No, no need to tell me. And... uh... just so you know. He is not a good guy, Hailey. Stay away from him" I said and she nodded.

"But what can I do when he approaches me and tells me he has to discuss business?"

"Hmm.... tell him to discuss it with me"

"And what if he says he wants to discuss it with me?"

"Then discuss in my presence or at least in my office" I got away.

"Okay!" she smiled.

We slept and waited for the next day.

Hailey's POV

It has been a long time.

Everything is going fine.

I never met Ervin from that day... and Robert is nothing but good.

I am happy. But something is bugging me. Robert still doesn't allow me to meet my mom.

"Please!!" I said to him at the dining table and he sighed.

"I told you, no" he kept on eating.

I took the spoon from his hands.

"You are gonna feed me?" he raised an eyebrow.

"In your dreams!"

I looked at him with puppy eyes. "Please, Robert, pretty please!"

"No means no, pretty queen"

I sighed and got up. "I am not gonna eat until-"

He pulled me on his lap and kept a hand around my waist. I was facing him and our faces were only inches away.

He suddenly stole a kiss and as a desperate woman... I gave in and kissed him back.

He backed off with a smirk and took the spoon from my hand.

"Watch"

He took the food and started feeding me.

Damn, I was so taken aback that I literally started eating.

HE WAS FEEDING ME!?

The biggest Mafia Boss!?

The most eligible bachelor!

The billionaire!

The CEO of Anderson Corporation!

Oops, he is so much.

I ate two bites and then I came to my senses. I quickly backed off.

"This isn't fair!"

"Everything is fair in love" he clicked his tongue. "And war"

"Oh no, it isn't"

"Huh," he got up. "You aren't meeting her and if you wanna be with me, as my wife, I mean... my lovely wife as you are, don't ask me to let you meet her again" I couldn't believe him.

He is threatening me?

Why?

Didn't he promise to let me meet her... once I marry him?

Although everything he ever said is a lie.

But now?

Why can't he let me meet her now?

He likes me now, right?

"Why?" I stopped him from going, by his wrist.

He got out of my hold. "My choice"
