He's My Ruthless Billionaire novel Chapter 75

I looked at him as my heartfelt heavy hearing his words.

Did I make him go through the worst?

"R-Rob--"

"Just leave! Leave like Max. I don't need a single soul!"

I thought of going near to him, but he pushed me away. "Leave"

"Do you want this?" I asked, my eyes almost blurry.

"Yes" I heard his bold voice and I looked at him to confirm that. "I want you to leave"

I looked at the beer bottles. "Promise me you won't drink, and I'll leave"

"I won't"

"Huh?"

"I won't drink. Just leave" 

I nodded my head and made my way out.

He hates me so much that he can leave drinking so that he can be away from me.

What else did you expect, Hailey?

You left him like that. When Max left him, he needed someone the most.

Of course, he hates you.

Shit, I hate myself for doing that.

Robert's POV

When she came to me, I was shocked.

I was very shocked.

I wanted to kiss her, tell her how much I want her back, but... I won't.

I won't be selfish this once.

I will let you live your life without dragging you down with me in this hell.

I let her go because I know that deep inside, that is what she wants.

I don't want her to come back just because she pities me.

If she'll ever return, it should be because she wants me, or she loves--

Damn, stop dreaming.

I got up and threw all of my bottles outside. I will not drink because I promised you, Hailey.

I decided to go back to LO because I need something to keep me distracted. Nothing more than work can keep me far from this.

I reached my office and met Xander. Officially, he is not the CEO, but he said that himself-- that he is happy being the president and doing this work. He says that it will keep him working and still down to Earth.

I agreed to him, of course. Transferring the position of CEO from me to him would have caused a lot of mess-- both in the media and inside the company. It creates instability. Even if it doesn't in my case, because he is already working, but he doesn't want that, so I am good.

We rarely meet people like him.

I did some work and hell, it worked! She was off my mind for a complete 1 minute and 32 seconds!

I don't know what to do. I did the work anyway. I made some mistakes like writing Hailey's name instead of writing 'Henfield' in the company file.

That only happened 7 times, though.

I looked at the stubborn man and sighed. "Speak"

He, with trembling hands, took out a paper. He took a deep breath and he gave me the paper. "H-Hailey sent it"

I sighed and looked at the paper.

Am I having a heart attack?

Why is my heart pounding so hard?

"B-Boss--"

"Divorce papers?" I looked at him and he looked down. "You sure she sent them?"

"I-I am sure, boss. I-I know this is hard but..."

Hard?

I will... I will fucking die if this happens.

I know we aren't living together. But this marriage? This marriage is the only thing keeping us together. The only thing tying us, or we will have nothing.

She wanna end this?

I went to the last page.

Under the Wife's signature column on the left, her signature was already done.

I don't know what to do.

If only... if only I hadn't pushed her away that day.

If only I would have been selfish and told her to stay. She would have been here; she would have been with me. If she would have even thought of divorce, I would have talked her out of that.
