He's My Ruthless Billionaire novel Chapter 67

"M-Max? What are you doing!?"

"You will know, love" he smirked and I didn't process anything.

Why is he...

Oh god, what is he doing?

His hands went towards my waist and he came near to kiss me. I looked away and he kissed me on my cheek.

"Don't move love. It will hurt" he turned my face towards him and a tear came out from my eyes.

"W-Why are you doing this! MAX, GET AWAY!"  I yelled.

He suddenly slapped me. I started crying. "Shut up!!" 

I looked at him wide-eyed and started reaching for my phone. I finally got it and he was just looking at me.

I was not thinking straight. I just was stuck. If I call Robert now, Max is dead. 

But he is touching you.

He is assaulting you.

You gotta help yourself.

I was thinking when I felt his hand on my neck. He leaned down and kissed my neck. He could have taken my phone, but he didn't. Maybe because he didn't know I had Robert's number-- but he was the one who gave me!

I didn't think for another second when he started touching me more and I pushed him and called Robert. He picked it up.

"Hailey?" he questioned.

"S-Save me... please," I said and I could hear chairs and tables rustling from the other end.

"WHERE ARE YOU!?" 

"H-Home..."  

Suddenly Max took the phone from me and threw it on the ground. It broke. I started crying as I thought about what he'd do now. I can't even contact Robert now.

He looked at me once. Then, he didn't do anything. He ran away.

Robert's POV

I woke up and I had a lot of work to do today. I didn't want to disturb Hailey, so I left a note for her, giving her a hint that I was doing Mafia work.

Max didn't come here today; he had some work. He is acting differently nowadays, and I don't know the reason. I would ask him, but I rarely care.

Suddenly, my phone rang. I picked it up and heard deep breaths on the other end. "Hailey?" 

"S-Save me... please," she said and I stood up, throwing away my chair, I ran towards my car.

"WHERE ARE YOU!?"  I questioned fast.

"H-Home..." 

"With whom!?" I asked but the call disconnected. I tried calling her again and again, but the phone was switched off.

Is she alright?

No god.

Don't do this.

Please.

Not her. I lost everything, fuck, I can't afford to let anything happen to her!

I reached home and ran to her room. She was sitting on the floor. She was crying with her hands covering her face. Her phone was there next to her, broken. I also noticed signs of struggle on the wall.

"H-Hailey?" 

She looked up at me and got up. She hugged me and started crying in my chest.

"W-What happened?"

"He... he..." her voice trailed off.

"Who, he...?" I questioned.

You will... I will... I will torture you so much, you will beg to die.

I will make you regret every second of your life, you, traitor.

"Ready for revenge?" I asked her and she looked at me. 

"Really?"

"Yes. He must be in our custody any minute. You can hurt him however you want. Just, don't think about anything. Kill him if you want" 

She looked sad for a moment, but then anger took over her. "Correct" she whispered. I nodded and I received a call.

"B-Boss..." Ron said.

"Just tell me, fast!" I demanded.

"Max is dead" 

I was... dumbstruck.

Dead?

How?

Why?

"W-Where is he?" I asked, recovering from the shock.

"His body is on our land. Should we call forensics?"

"Yes," I replied and lowered my phone.

She looked at me curiously as she waited for my reply.

"He is dead" 

She looked shocked. "W-What?"

"Yes. We will know the one who did this. Just a little time"
