He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 58

Robert's

POV

I woke up and I had a lot of work to do today. I didn't want to disturb Hailey, so I left a note for her, giving her a hint that I was doing Mafia work. Max didn't come here today; he had some work. He is acting differently nowadays, and I don't know the reason. I would ask him, but I rarely care.

Suddenly, my phone rang. I picked it up and heard deep breaths on the other end. "Hailey?"

"S-Save me... please," she said and I stood up, throwing away my chair, I ran towards my car.

"WHERE ARE YOU!?" I questioned fast.

"H-Home..."

"With whom!?" I asked but the call disconnected. I tried calling her again and again, but the phone was switched off.

Is she alright?

No god.

Don't do this.

Please.

Not her. I lost everything, f**k, I can't afford to let anything happen to her!

I reached home and ran to her room. She was sitting on the floor. She was crying with her hands covering her face. Her phone was there next to her, broken. I also noticed signs of struggle on the wall. "H-Hailey?"

She looked up at me and got up. She hugged me and started crying in my chest.

"W-What happened?"

"He... he..." her voice trailed off.

"Who, he...?" I questioned.

She didn't stop crying.

I will torture the one who did this to her. I will t*****e them to death. I... I don't know, but... I will kill him.

"Just... Just give me a name. I-I will take your revenge. Just give me a name..." I asked her.

She was continuously crying. I caressed her head and her back.

"It is okay now... it is" I assured her. She sobbed a little more.

"Just a name," I asked her again, and taking a deep breath, she exhaled.

"Max"

I looked at her wide-eyed.

Max.

You-you bastard.

H-How dares you...

I called Ron and Cane. "Find Max now and bring him in cuffs to... my home"

"D-Don't bring him here..." I heard Hailey.

"A minute," I said to Ron.

"I want you... to take your revenge or at least to see him die" I told her and she nodded absentmindedly.

"Do you note?" I asked them on the call.

"Y-Yes boss."

I kept my phone back and made Hailey sit on the bed. "Everything will be fine" I assured her and she nodded. "But. first, you need to tell me what happened"

She sobbed and then started. "He...he came into my room and then he... he touched me inappropriately. I-I..."

I hugged her as my rage for him fired up more.

You will regret this badly, Max.

You will... I will... I will torture you so much, you will beg to die.

I will make you regret every second of your life, you, traitor.

"Ready for revenge?" I asked her and she looked at me.

"Really?"

"Yes. He must be in our custody any minute. Some sentences are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Ebookex.com. Visit Ebookex.com to read the complete chapters for free. You can hurt him however you want. Just, don't think about anything. Kill him if you want" She looked sad for a moment, but then anger took over her. "Correct" she whispered. I nodded and I received a call.

"B-Boss..." Ron said.

"Just tell me, fast!" I demanded.

"Max is dead"

I was... dumbstruck.

Dead?

How?

Why?

"W-Where is he?" I asked, recovering from the shock.

"His body is on our land. Should we call forensics?"

"Yes," I replied and lowered my phone.

She looked at me curiously as she waited for my reply. "He is dead"

She looked shocked. "W-What?"

"Yes. We will know the one who did this. Just a little time"

Who could have done this?

Who will kill Max?

And why?

Why did Max even do this?

Was this a suicide?

I can't get any answers. I have to replace them myself.

I don't know anything.

But Max... why?

"Take care, I will come soon," I said to Hailey.

"No-no, don't leave me. What if they come again?"

She is right.

But my MO is more dangerous.

She is safer here. But leaving her alone once again... it is complete foolishness.

"It is safe here now," I said and called at least 20 of my men to cover this house.

"I... come fast" she looked at me with her sad, tear-filled eyes.

"I will" assuring her, I left the house.

Hailey's POV

I was way too broken by what happened.

Max touched me in the wrong way.

The only friend I had.

I can't believe this.

Why did he even do this?

When Robert came, I didn't know if he would even believe me.

But he not only believed me, but he also supported me, mentally.

I was so broken, but the way he assured me that he will bring justice, helped me a lot. He was angry... for me. He wanted revenge... for me.

He cares about me a lot.

He didn't for a second, thought about anything else.

The sincerity in his eyes showed how much I mean to him.

Then suddenly his phone rang and what he told me took me by surprise.

How is Max dead?

Why is he dead?

Who killed him?

I knew Robert still had to replace answers to those questions, so I will wait. I know he left me here, so it must be safe. I don't know why, my heart says, Max didn't mean to do this all... he couldn't. I know, he had a full moment to stop me from calling Robert, but he didn't.

I hope you left the answers to these questions, Max.

I don't like to believe that my only friend did this to me.

I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes, trying to sleep.
