He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 55

Robert's POV

I was devastated the moment I saw what I did to her. I was not in my senses.... And I don't know. I didn't wanna hurt her. But every time, I do.

I got away with the guilty face. I know, she will never forgive me. Hell, no one can ever forgive someone so many times.

At that moment, she told me to go out. I saw hate in her eyes. That was the reason I felt pain... in my heart. I felt like my heart was aching, but no, it is my fault I have to bear the consequences.

I brought the medicine for her, and for the first time- I was stuttering so much. I was nervous. I was... regretful. I left the room after giving her the medicines and went downstairs.

I sat against the wall, thinking of ways to distance myself from her. I have to go away. At least till I become well. I-I hurt her so much today.

I saw her coming downstairs. Or I should say that I felt it. My eyes were closed.

"Robert, are you regretting?" she questioned and my eyes shot open at her question.

"More than I ever regretted anything. I-I am sorry. Please"

"Okay..." she said and my heart became a little less heavy.

Then I promised her that I will not kiss her. But she did something unexpected.

She asked me to kiss her.

"N-No. First, your lips are hurt. Second, I swore I will not"

"I want it. Do it now" she insisted and I was again in thoughts.

I took a look at her face. It was beautiful... but bruised. And I am the one who did it. I have bruised her beautiful face. I have no right to go near her anymore.

I took a step back. "No".

She looked at me with disappointment. "That is your punishment. Kiss me whenever I want it"

I was shocked by her statements. "How is that a punishment?"

"It is" she took a step towards me. "Now"

I didn't know what was going on. After all I did to her, she wants me to kiss her? That is punishment? I thought she would... make me let her meet her mom or worse, she would want a divorce. Closing my eyes, and deciding to kiss the softest I could, I leaned closer and placed a feather-light kiss on her lips. She kissed me back and I got away.

"Thanks" she spoke. "Now, sleep"

I looked at the woman in front of me. This woman... damn, she is different. I don't know. She is the first one who made me have these thoughts... the thoughts of loving her. But no, I will not. Even if she is the most beautiful lady. Even if she is with the greatest personality. I will not. I can't forget anything. I still remember. Love is Fake. It ruins.

I got up and nodded. "Hm" I replied and then going to the room, I laid on the couch.

"Why are you there?" I heard Hailey as she entered the room.

"Where else?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Beside me?"

I can't understand this woman, gosh, I can't.

Is she for real?

"You want me to lay beside you?" I asked with my eyes pouring out.

"Yeah, of course!" she replied and with my eyes still opened as a wide gate, I went and laid on the bed. She laid beside me.

"You think I forgave you?" she inquired.

"I...I don't know"

"I will, but..."

I looked at her as she was thinking something. "Tell me what is wrong," she completed.

I sighed. "...I don't know. I just think I am-"

"You are going through AWS, right. But today, you were drugged"

"What? No. I didn't drink-"

"I am not saying you drank!" she looked worried. "Someone else drugged you. Some drug, which took the power of you thinking what you were doing. It was not AWS. You don't lose total control in it"

"Really?" I started thinking about all of the incidents from the start of the day. I have not met anyone who could drug me! I was with Max, Cane, and Ron the whole day and then my family.

However bad they are, they can't drug me because they LIKE Hailey. And they know, I can hurt Hailey, if I am under that influence. "It's okay. Just relax. It will be fine" she said and hugged me.

I didn't react. Her head near my heart, felt like the best thing ever happened to me. I don't know! I felt like I love only money and power. Is there someone else I love?

No, no. You are going down the wrong path. Love is Fake. It is betrayal. It ruins a man.

I slept with her in my arms and had a peaceful night.

Hailey's POV

I woke up and found his arms still around me. I know he hurt me yesterday, but he is regretting it, right? And that is enough.

Enough because I really like him. I know it sounds crazy. But have you ever thought about how he is behind this facade? Behind a facade which only I can remove? Behind the facade that no one can see past through?

I smiled at my thoughts and then I felt him moving.

"Good morning" he whispered.

"Good morning Robert" I tried to wriggle out of his grip, but he only tightened it more. Not much, that it would hurt, but yeah, it was tight.

"Robert" I whispered in my sleepy voice.

"Few minutes" he whispered back and turned me around. I was facing him.

"Do you mind a kiss? Can I kiss you?" he asked and I was taken aback.

Such generosity?

"Yeah" I replied and he placed the lightest kiss on my lips. It was different. It was not the one needful kiss. It was a friendly and light kiss. It was not passionate, but it was sweeter. It was not intense, but it was more lovable. I looked at him, trying to figure out one thing.

If he doesn't love me, why does he smile whenever he kisses me?
