He's My Ruthless Billionaire novel Chapter 68

Who could have done this?

Who will kill Max?

And why?

Why did Max even do this?

Was this a suicide?

I can't get any answers. I have to find them myself.

I don't know anything.

But Max... why?

"Take care, I will come soon,"  I said to Hailey.

"No-no, don't leave me. What if they come again?"

She is right.

But my MO is more dangerous.

She is safer here. But leaving her alone once again... it is complete foolishness.

"It is safe here now," I said and called at least 20 of my men to cover this house.

"I... come fast" she looked at me with her sad, tear-filled eyes.

"I will" assuring her, I left the house.

Hailey's POV

I was way too broken by what happened.

Max touched me in the wrong way.

The only friend I had.

I can't believe this.

Why did he even do this?

When Robert came, I didn't know if he would even believe me.

But he not only believed me, but he also supported me, mentally.

I was so broken, but the way he assured me that he will bring justice, helped me a lot. He was angry... for me. He wanted revenge... for me. 

He cares about me a lot.

He didn't for a second, thought about anything else.

The sincerity in his eyes showed how much I mean to him.

Then suddenly his phone rang and what he told me totally took me by surprise.

How is Max dead?

Why is he dead?

Who killed him?

I knew Robert still had to find answers to those questions, so I will wait. I know he left me here, so it must be safe. I don't know why, my heart says, Max didn't mean to do this all... he couldn't. I know, he had a full moment to stop me from calling Robert, but he didn't.

I hope you left the answers to these questions, Max.

"I will bring Hailey. You just reach his apartment" I instructed as I took my car and drove off to my house.

I hurried to my room and found her lying on the bed, probably sleeping.

"Hailey? You awake?" I whispered slowly.

Her eyes shot open. "Yes, I am" she stood up. "Tell me, he didn't do it on purpose, right?"

I caressed her head as I felt her getting anxious. "We will know. Oh yeah- we got the autopsy report. He was over-drugged"

She looked down at the ground. "That explains it. He-he was drugged into this. He didn't do it on purpose!"

"Hailey..."

"No! Robert, I want to believe this! I can't... I can't think that... because he... he... he was my only friend. I can't think that he did that willingly!"

I hugged her as she started sobbing. "We will find the truth. Come with me"

She nodded and we went to my car. "Also, he didn't do drugs. So, most probably he was drugged by someone else-- and most probably, Nicholson." I told her as she nodded absentmindedly.

I reached his room, which was till now thoroughly checked by my men.

"Here, He left a letter" one of my men handed over a long letter to me. I nodded and took it, Hailey was behind me, reading it too.

"Hello. First question. Are you Mrs. Hailey or Robert? If you aren't any of them, please kindly don't read this letter. 

Now, if you are, then let's proceed. I don't have time, you know.

Firstly, Robert. I am sorry. Sorry, because I was the one who drugged you that day. Yeah, surprised, right? Sorry. I don't know if you'll ever forgive me or not. But I am sorry. 

I will tell you. I don't wanna be a traitor-- but Nicholson has me. He is keeping track of me and so, I don't know if I will ever be able to apologize or not.
