He's My Ruthless Billionaire novel Chapter 64

At that moment, she told me to go out. I saw hate in her eyes. That was the reason I felt pain... in my heart. I felt like my heart was aching, but no, it is my fault I have to bear the consequences.

I brought the medicine for her, and for the first time-- I was stuttering so much. I was nervous. I was... regretful. I left the room after giving her the medicines and went downstairs. 

I sat against the wall, thinking of ways to distance myself from her. I have to go away. At least till I become well. I-I hurt her so much today. 

I saw her coming downstairs. Or I should say that I felt it. My eyes were closed.

"Robert, are you regretting?" she questioned and my eyes shot open at her question.

"More than I ever regretted anything. I-I am sorry. Please" 

"Okay..." she said and my heart became a little less heavy.

Then I promised her that I will not kiss her. But she did something unexpected.

She asked me to kiss her. 

"N-No. First, your lips are hurt. Second, I swore I will not"

"I want it. Do it now" she insisted and I was again in thoughts.

I took a look at her face. It was beautiful... but bruised. And I am the one who did it. I have bruised her beautiful face. I have no right to go near her anymore.

I took a step back. "No".

She looked at me with disappointment. "That is your punishment. Kiss me whenever I want it"

I was shocked by her statements. "How is that a punishment?"

"It is" she took a step towards me. "Now"

I didn't know what was going on. After all I did to her, she wants me to kiss her? That is punishment? I thought she would... make me let her meet her mom or worse, she would want a divorce.

Closing my eyes, and deciding to kiss the softest I could, I leaned closer and placed a feather-light kiss on her lips. She kissed me back and I got away.

"Thanks" she spoke. "Now, sleep"

I looked at the woman in front of me. This woman... damn, she is different. I don't know. She is the first one who made me have these thoughts... the thoughts of loving her. But no, I will not. Even if she is the most beautiful lady. Even if she is with the greatest personality. I will not. I can't forget anything. I still remember. Love is Fake. It ruins.

I got up and nodded. "Hm" I replied and then going to the room, I laid on the couch.

"Why are you there?" I heard Hailey as she entered the room.

"Where else?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Beside me?" 

"It's okay. Just relax. It will be fine" she said and hugged me.

I didn't react. Her head near my heart, felt like the best thing ever happened to me. I don't know! I felt like I love only money and power. Is there someone else I love?

No, no. You are going down the wrong path. Love is Fake. It is betrayal. It ruins a man.

I slept with her in my arms and had a peaceful night.

Hailey's POV

I woke up and found his arms still around me. I know he hurt me yesterday, but he is regretting it, right? And that is enough.

Enough because I really like him. I know it sounds crazy. But have you ever thought about how he is behind this facade? Behind a facade which only I can remove? Behind the facade that no one can see past through?

I smiled at my thoughts and then I felt him moving.

"Good morning" he whispered.

"Good morning Robert" I tried to wriggle out of his grip, but he only tightened it more. Not much, that it would hurt, but yeah, it was tight.

"Robert" I whispered in my sleepy voice.

"Few minutes" he whispered back and turned me around. I was facing him.
