He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 60

Robert's POV

I was shocked to see... no, I was way too shocked to see what was written. Was he kidding?

But this entire letter is serious.

"So, let's get to the point.

I know who Nicholson is.

He made a mistake; I saw his face. So, I will be killed soon. I can't contact you, but I know you will read this letter.

I saw his face.

Nicholson is Alex.

Alex Cameron.

Hailey's brother.

You don't believe me, right?

Hell, I would have loved to see your reaction if I told you this face to face. But circumstances....

Anyways, you know now.

He doesn't know you know, so you are one step ahead.

Go and kill him.

I didn't disappoint you, did I?

Haha, Thanks Robert, for everything you did for me. I owe you.

Bye!

Max"

Alex?

Alex Cameron?

No, he can't be!

Thank you, Max.

You finally led me to victory at last.

Finally, because of you, I am one step ahead of him.

Hope you are in a better place now, Max.

You don't owe me anything.

I left my house in a hurry. I can trust only Ron and Cane, and I will provide extra security to them. I won't let that bastard get to them anymore. I have to first make sure that he doesn't know, I know. I met up with Cane and Ron. I made them my second juniors now.

"So," I told them everything. "Keep it low"

"Okay boss" Cane replied. "But what about... Max? His funeral? Memorial?"

"Arrange everything grandly" I replied and they were shocked. "He was a brave man and a very loyal one. He died saving me and respecting Hailey. Go"

Their shocked faces quickly recovered as they nodded and left the place to arrange the final goodbye to Max.

I returned to my home. I went inside and as I opened the door; I saw her sleeping. But I saw a letter next to her. I went and read it.

"Robert... wake me up once you are home"

I wouldn't, Hailey.

You need to rest.

I went from there and took a shower.

It seems like a dream to lose you, Max...

Like you will be alive at any moment.

Who will help me now?

Who will I share everything with now?

Who?

I left the bathroom thinking about how much I have lost today. I even forgot my shirt outside.

As I went outside, I saw she was awake. And she was... looking at me... at my body.

She gulped down a lump in her throat. I forgot everything and I found myself smirking.

She looked up and as she realized what she was doing, she looked down.

"Ah... uh... you read this?" she questioned.

I thought of teasing her more, so I didn't wear the shirt and went towards her. She looked at me and then again here and there.

"What Hailey?" I asked more huskily.

She looked at me. "Stop it"

"What?" I made an innocent face.

She sighed. "Stop making me fall for you"

"Why? Why don't you wanna fall for me?" I asked and she looked as if she had so much to say but she was holding back.

"Hailey?"

She suddenly kept her hand on my neck and started kissing me. I kissed her back, and this time she increased the intensity and we fell on the bed. She was over me and kissing me senselessly. She got away and we both were panting heavily.

"I...I love you, Robert. But you don't. That is the reason" She breathed out.

I looked at her intently.

I would have loved you Hailey only if I knew what is love.

I don't know... I don't deserve you at least.

Why did you fall for me?

For a cold-blooded monster?

Do I deserve you?

How can the answer be yes?

"Sorry," she said as tears welled up in her eyes.

Why is she crying?

"Hailey...?"

"I-I shouldn't speak nonsense. Sorry, forget everything I said" she got away and removed her hands from my torso. "Go and get dressed"

I nodded bluntly and wore my shirt.

What is wrong with me?

I-I feel something for her.

Is this love?

Do they need to be with her every moment?

I shrugged my thoughts and sat beside her. She looked at me and then took out her broken phone. "Will you repair it?"

"You can buy a new one. Why repair?"

"Because instead of using 1100 dollars in this, you can donate them!" she yelled.

I looked at her as she lowered her head again.

"What's wrong, Hailey?"

"I... n-nothing"

"Tell me" I took her hand.

She snatched it. "Nothing"

"Okay," I replied and got up.

She was feeling uncomfortable near me now.

Why?

"I-I am out if you need me" I whispered and she nodded. I left her room and sat in the living room, thinking about what's wrong. Hailey's POV

He came out of the shower shirtless. He was damn handsome, and I felt myself melting the way he looked at me.

But I can't do this.

He doesn't love me.

I can't fall for him. I can't do this.

When he sat beside me and said huskily, it turned me up. I wanted him to know that I have developed these feelings- more than words- but I can't.

I still told him that I love him but he doesn't.

But what hurts, is that he didn't deny it.

He doesn't.

And I should believe it soon.

I just... have to fulfill my two years obligations and then bring mom back. That is all I need. Then I can live with Alex and mom again.

I apologized for my stupidness as tears pooled in my eyes at my thoughts.

How can I fall for someone who doesn't let me meet my family?

Someone who bought me?

I am just... a thing for him.

Something he purchased.

I don't want him to spend any money on me.

Damn, I hate his money.

He bought me with his money.

Hell, he doesn't even take me as his wife, I am damn sure.

I got up and went downstairs to get water. I know, such bad luck to not have water in the room today.

He was sitting on the couch, with his eyes closed. As he heard footsteps, his eyes opened and he looked at me.

He got up and came to me. He held my hand and looked me in my eyes. I saw his eyes were moistened. "D-Don't be uncomfortable near me. You are my wife. Please"
