He's My Ruthless Billionaire novel Chapter 23

I was completely numb. What should I do? I can't even move. Suddenly Ron came.

"Mam, the doctor is here," he said.

Woah, mam!?

He never called me mam. 

"Okay," I said.

The lady doctor came inside. She made me sit and then saw my back. 

"You applied Olive oil? I can't believe this!" she exclaimed. 

Huh, if only she knew. 

"Y-yea I did not know it would make it worse..." I said. 

"Huh, well I'm gonna have to clean it up so that I could apply for my medicine," she said and then took out some cotton. 

She started cleaning it and trust me, it really hurt. 

"It's- it's okay, just-" she was continuously comforting me. 

"Done!" she exclaimed as she got up and threw the cotton away. Then she brought some medicines. 

"Stay still" she instructed.

She started applying it. 

"How did you do this! It's deep. You should've got away when it burnt" she said whilst applying.

Oh yeah, like I was in control. 

"A-h I-I don't know," I said. 

"Huh well, it will take some time to get healed. Do not work, okay?" she said and got up. 

"Yeah" I replied and she left the room. 

I laid down on the bed with my back facing the ceiling and I just wanted to sleep. 

And think it was a bad dream. 

But what tomorrow? 

How will I ever heal him if he doesn't let me? 

How is this going to be possible? 

Am I really going to succeed in what I am trying to do? 

Or will it all go in vain and at last he will destroy me? 

Robert's POV

I came back home. My whole day went in frustration because of this Max and Hailey thing and then the way she proclaimed that that slut is my girlfriend. 

I was in a total rage when I came back home. 

"Where's Hailey?" I asked Cane. 

"She is in the kitchen, boss" he replied. 

Kitchen. 

She is still making food. 

God, I have to stop her from caring about me. 

I have to. 

I went straight to the kitchen and wrapped my hands around her. She was terrified but I stopped her from screaming. 

I wanted to tell her quietly not to care. 

But Everything made me hate her the second I saw it. 

A message from Max on Hailey's phone. 

So, it's still going on. 

'Hey are you free' 

Yeah sure. 

That's what he is asking her. 

Not. Again.

Hailey's POV

"W-What do you mean?" I asked Robert.

"Hailey, don't play dumb on me, you seriously wouldn't like the consequences. Tell me what does Max have that I don't? Power? Money? What?"

"I-I... F-firstly I don't like Max t-that way and secondly, I wouldn't c-cheat on my husband no matter how many times he does" I spoke as I remembered the scene of him being with that girl.

"What are you coming at?" he asked.

"N-nothing," I said.

"Hailey... I will have to take strict action on Max now" he said.

I got up abruptly.

"Why?" I asked him.

"Or you have a choice..." he said. I looked at him to find any trace that he's just playing with me, but none could be seen.

Like he can ever play with anyone.

"What?" I asked him.

"Lay down," he said. I looked at him with fear.

He wouldn't do anything bad, r-right?

I laid down slowly and his hand reached my back. Suddenly the pain hit me.

"Ahh" I yelled slowly. He removed his hand.

"I-I forgot," he said.

I don't know if he was lying, but it's fine.

"hmmm" I hummed.

Then his hand again came and he kept it over my head. His touch felt unexpectedly warm. He caressed my hair.
