He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 12

Hailey's POV

"Who is there!?" someone exclaimed.

My heartbeat stopped, my breath hitched up in my lungs, my legs froze, and sweat beads started flowing.

I'm dead.

I'm dead.

I mean, literally dead.

I decided not to go out. Anyways, if I go out, I'll die. I mean, Robert wants me dead, and these men don't look good either.

"Don't you dare change the point of attraction here" I heard Robert's voice.

"I'm not, you bastard! There's someone!" the same man said.

"Come on, shoot," Robert said. "Me" he added.

I again peeped out of the place I was hiding.

All the guns have been pointed towards Robert, like before. I don't know why, but I was scared because of him.

Will he be alright?

Fuck, shut up, Hailey. You are just insane!!

Suddenly a phone started ringing. Thank god, it isn't mine or I should say Robert's phone that I was having. I put it on silent when I remembered that it can also ring. The man from earlier started laughing. "Here's a news you would love to hear..." he said. Robert looked at him.

"Sure tell me," he said.

"Max is shot," he said. "Three times" he added.

My breath hitched up once again. Max? That Max who was here and who told me to tell Robert to call that Leu and Ace?

"He'll make it alive," Robert said with mysterious calmness.

I mean, how can someone be so calm when one of him 'close' men as I suppose, is shot, that too three times!?

"But you won't," he said and the firing started. I closed my eyes and sat down. I was so terrified. What's gonna happen now?

Soon I heard new gunshots coming from all sides. I just sat there with closed eyes, I have never witnessed such an incident and I was nauseated.

After some time, which seemed like an eternity, the gunshots subsided. With a loud-beating heart, I opened my eyes and looked in the direction. All the men who were pointing guns at Robert were dead.

All the men which seemed ours were okay.

And, mostly Robert was okay.

Robert signaled something to Cane and started coming in my direction.

My breath stopped in between.

"Get Out," he said. "We need to talk in the room, Corazon," he said and left.

So, he knew that I was here!?

With trembling legs, I followed him to the room. He went straight to the bathroom and I heard the sounds of a shower.

I sat on the bed restlessly. After half an hour, he came out.

He's so handsome. Perfect nose, perfect jawline, mesmerizing eyes, beautiful messy hairs, perfect lips, and everything is perfect. Indeed, the one who throbbed the hearts of many.

"Are you done ogling?" he said to me. I looked down embarrassed.

Great. Now don't tell me that you need a psychiatrist, because you can't get one.

Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm a psychology student myself who was going to be a psychiatrist in a year until this nightmare came by.

'And now you're attracted by him' my inner voice said.

"Nooo," I yelled.

"You're bold," he said with a smirk.

Then I remembered what happened. What the f**k did I just say!!

"I... I meant that I... I wasn't ogling..." I said.

"Sure, like I don't have eyes," he said and started wiping his hair with his towel.

I just sat on the bed. Slowly he sat beside me. I licked my lips in the nervousness of what he'll say or do.

"So, why were you there?" he asked.

"I... I... actually..."

"I know you called Leu and Ace," he said. "But then you should have left," he said.

"I-I didn't get the chance!"

"Who told you to call Ace and Leu?" he asked.

"Well... I was asked to tell you to call-"

"Tell me the bloody name!!" he yelled.

"Max!" I said.

"He's gonna suffer," he said and got up.

"Wait. He did it for you!" I stood up.

"He endangered your life!" he yelled.

"Like you care about it!" I yelled back too.

He suddenly pushed me on the bed. His face was close to me, while I was breathing heavily.

"How did you open my phone?" he asked.

"W-what hh-how," I said. He smirked.

"How did you know my password?" he asked.

"I... There was n-no password!" I said.

"Don't lie bitch!"

"I... I... I wasn't... I am not..." I started crying.

He got back and pressed his temple. Maybe he was having a headache.

"Just why are you lying?" he asked slowly.

"I-I'm not, s-sir," I said.

"Why does everyone have to lie!!" he yelled and got up. He took his phone that was kept on the table. The lock was again back!!

"What is this bruja?" he asked slowly.

"It... It wasn't the-" I stopped when he slapped me.

"W-w-why did y-you..." I got up and ran to the bathroom and locked the door. I started crying heavily. The sounds must be reaching the room. "Open the door," he said.

I didn't react or speak.

"Open the damn door!" he yelled. I opened it and started running to the room's exit, but he caught my hand and pulled me close to him. "Was it not there?" he asked me.

"Y-you don't b-believe me anyway," I said and started going when Robert's phone rang. He picked it up, while I decided to stay in the room till the call is over because he was holding my wrist tightly.

He picked it up, and the call was on speaker... itself.

"Oh, sorry Hailey. But I thought your husband must trust you. I'm sorry. Some sentences are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Narugi.com. Visit Narugi.com to read the complete chapters for free. Robert, this is just the starting. I can do anything, like removing the lock of the boss of the biggest mafia empire in the most secure house... and putting his phone on speaker. You'll regret being against me" and with that, the call ended.

The voice was completely distorted. He is unlikely to recognize it.

"Mafia? Oh yea, I should have understood that" I said. "Sorry," he said and left the room void of any emotions.

Sorry??
