He's My Ruthless Billionaire novel Chapter 28

"I-I can't come back, but I am good Alex," I said. I heard him sighing.

"Does he hurt you?" he asked.

"No" I replied.

"You sure? You seem like you've been crying"

"Yes... I-I just got emotional hearing your voice. I miss you Alex" I confessed.

"I miss you too sis," he said. "so. you aren't coming?"

"No... I am sorry Alex"

"Don't be" he said. "One day you will get out of that devil's--"

"He's not a devil!" I said. "He is just... hurt"

"Hailey. Mom always taught us to see good in others. But not when... he- well, he destroyed you!"

"Believe in me, I will make everything fine," I said.

"I do," he said.

"Bye Alex"

"Wait. When will you call again?" he asked.

"If everything is fine, then soon"

"Okay, I will wait desperately, sis"

"Don't try to find me please Alex. I am safe and will return if everything turns out fine"

"IF? There is no if, Hailey! You have to!"

"Y-Yeah. Bye!"

"Bye"

I lowered the phone as tears fell from my eyes. This is so beautiful, talking with him after so much time. I can't believe he let me do this. I think we will soon be good.

I made the dinner after that and did exactly what I always do, made the best I can. I took the dishes and then arranged them on the dining table while he was working on his laptop again.

After serving all dishes, I thought to talk to him.

"R-Robert," I said.

He looked at me and then at dinner. He smiled.

"Here's your phone," I said and handed him the phone. He looked at the phone and then at me. He looked quite shocked.

"Did you have a good talk?" He asked shaking off the expression.

"Y-Yeah, kind of... I-I mean it was... uh... emotional"

He nodded and then made me sit next to him. Again, those memories. Why is it the same case with everything?

He looked at me and saw the fear in my eyes.

"I usually love to see the fear in other's eyes," he said. "But I don't like it right now"

I lowered my head and nodded.

"I mean don't be scared"

I looked at him and smiled.

He can change in the blink of an eye, right?

I just can't believe that he was the one who did that to me that day.

Then we had the most peaceful dinner I ever had with him. We went to the bed and laid down.

"Night," he said.

"Good night" I replied.

Doesn't it look like a perfect dream?

I mean, is it possible that in real-life, someone can change so much?

'But he hasn't changed. You said that you are removing his mask, dumbo!' my subconsciousness said.

'Shut up' I said.

She speaks too much at times.

I closed my eyes and a song started playing in my mind.

"I close my eyes and I can see

The world that's waiting up for me

That I call my own

Through the dark, through the door

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

However big, however small

Let me be part of it all

Share your dreams with me

You may be right, you may be wrong

But say that you'll bring me along

To the world you see

To the world I close my eyes to see

I close my eyes to see

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

A million dreams, a million dreams

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

For the world we're gonna make"

It is crazy how it fits just the situation I am in, right?

I mean, anyone would literally call me crazy if I tell them that I am healing him.
