He's My Ruthless Billionaire novel Chapter 42

"No!" she said. "Please don't start again" 

"Then let me confirm that today," I said.

She sighed while I took her to the room. "I will check that you don't have any device on you," I said.

She nodded and I checked her thoroughly. She didn't have anything on her.

"Do you trust me now?" she asked.

"Yeah... But" I spoke. "You will not use your phone today"

"Hm? But why?"

"You don't question me"

"Ok... Okay, Nick" she said.

I smirked and kept her phone in my pocket. Then went outside.

Cassie was standing at the gate, talking to someone on her phone.

"Cas," I said, she looked at me.

"Oh, hi Nick," she said and cut the call.

"Hm. Who were you talking to?"

"Jake," she said.

"I don't like him. You should stay away from him" I said.

Jake burner is an ordinary guy, but Cassie likes him way too much.

"B-but bro..."

"Cassie. Just don't go too far. I'm okay with that" I said.

She smiled. "Thanks"

I nodded and started going out. "Where are you going?" she asked.

"None of your business," I said.

"B-But..."

This is the thing I hate about her. She is way too stubborn and stupid than she should be with me.

"Summer, give us a minute," I said.

"Okay," Summer replied and left.

I looked at Cassie. She was looking scared.

"Cassie," I said. "You know that you don't get to know where I am," I said with a threatening tone, once again.

She nodded and a tear came down from her eyes.

"Did I hurt you?" I asked.

She denied. "Then why are you crying?" I asked as softly as I can.

She covered her face with her hands. "S-Sorry," she said.

I took her hands off her face and she looked at me.

"I love you sister but you should know your limits," I said. She nodded.

I never let Cassie interfere in the Mafia business. I want to keep her safe.

"B-But," she said. "Why don't you ever tell me anything? And tell your girlfriend everything?"

I clicked my tongue. "It's not safe for you," I said. "So, you should never ask about it again!" I raised my voice.

"Okay boss, noted"

"Good" I cut the call.

I knew one day you'll be weak, Robert.

And this is the moment.

You'll see.

I'll win.

Robert's POV

"The patient has gained consciousness," the doctor said finally coming out of the ward after a very long time. A smile played on my lips hearing the news as I made my way towards the ward.

"You may meet her, but you need to keep her from becoming too much excited"

"Okay, sure" I replied and was about to go inside when Alex came.

"Robert!!" he yelled. I looked at him. "Don't you dare"

I stepped back as he came near. "I am going first. Only if she wants, then you'll meet her"

"Hm," I said and he went inside the ward.

Alex's POV

I went inside the ward and saw Hailey lying on the bed with her eyes closed. I went near her and she opened her eyes, knowing a presence.

"A-Alex," she said.

"Hailey," I said and cupped her cheeks. She smiled.

"Are you okay?" I asked.
