He's My Ruthless Billionaire novel Chapter 9

"What's with you and those stupid rules!" I replied, more tears threatening to leave my eyes.

"I'll surely tell you Corazon just keep quiet," he said. 

What did he say? Cora- what? 

"Corazon," he said. 

Oh god. He and his mind-reading techniques. 

"Is it a compliment?" 

"Please, please let me visit my family or at least tell me how they are!" I said ignoring his most stupid question. 

"Oh, yea sure but first, listen," he said. "Corazon" he added. 

I nodded my head in acceptance. 

"Just some little things :

1. Don't mess with me. 

2. Don't ask for reasons for anything I do. 

3. Don't ask me anything about why and where or what is happening. 

4. Follow whatever I say without any questions. 

5. Don't ever try to escape" 

"What? Are these even rules, I mean you're just maid-zoning me!"

"That's on you, take whatever name you want, Corazon" he smirked at me. "You are my Corazon for me"

"And... Stop calling me that, please!" 

"Why Corazon? I'll call you whatever I want" he said. "You don't have a fucking right to tell me that!!" he yelled suddenly. 

What the hell is he? 

He has a really severe bipolar disease.

"I... I... uh... oh... ok" I said. He smirked. 

"And yes, CORAZON" he emphasized the word. "Don't you dare stutter from now on" and with that, he left the room. 

I don't wanna say this but, 

Welcome to hell, Hailey.

Hailey's POV

I sat down on the bed after he left the room. I was in deep thoughts about what should I do, and how. 

Will Alex be okay? 

I want to ask him. He swiftly took me off the topic. But, I'm just... uh... kind of afraid of him. Of course, I will be! He literally kidnapped me and has made me a maid! 

Just that I don't have to do any house chores, lol

That's not the time for cracking jokes, stupid! Just think of some ways to escape or at least talk to your family! 

Then I remembered my phone. I started searching here and there, in my purse too but there was no phone. 

Of course, he has taken it, dumbo. 

Let's use our brain and think of some way. 

I started looking here and there for something that might help me go out. It was a big room, but just useless stuff like clothes and all was there. 

Clothes. 

All the colors from my face drained up. So, he... really will beat me. 

"P-please d-don't," I said. 

"Too late, Bruja," he said. 

Bru- again some foreign word? 

I was just wondering about the word when I felt a sudden pain in my forearm. I screamed in pain. Then it got to me that he whipped me. Why the hell did I make the rope so tight!? 

"P-p-please stop," I said. 

He smirked. "It hurts?" he asked. 

I didn't know what to reply. I kept my mouth shut. 

"Speak, bruja!!" he yelled and I stepped back, but then it hit me that I was already against the wall. 

I started crying. 

"Y-yes, it h-hurts" I cried. He smirked again. 

"You need to know this very well," he said. "I'm not who you think. Don't ever break my rules again, ever!" he yelled as he kept the rope down.

I nodded my head. 

"Words, Bruja!!" he yelled. 

"U-understood sir," I said. 

"Good," he said. 

I didn't know what was going on. He was abusive? Really? I-I can't believe it. 

Should I ask about my parents? No! It's not a good time, Hailey. Just keep quiet. He's a psychopath. Of course, he is!
