Sold To Mr President

Xavier gave Ethan that angry look that caused him to back off till he entered the car. That was good enough for him and he left.

Ethan did more bother whether Xavier had said whatever to him or not, all he wanted was to play the little innocent boy. Well, he hadn’t planned on them meeting with Xavier here, and killing him will be a mistarget that can put him in trouble. At least, for what he knows, Oscar wouldn’t even find r slightest pleasure in coming to help her at all, and right now, it might just be a misjudgment, something that she can not do without.

Steaming the engine of his car, Ethan went away. Ruby couldn’t help but keep her eyes on the road, this is the worst thing that can ever happen to her but then, what can she do? lifting her head, she was faced with Xavier Barley, she didn’t know how to react, and the things Ethan had instructed her to do, she doesn’t know how that is going to work, but then, one thing she doesn’t know is the fact the man in front of her could either be good or bad. Well, if that is the case then it might be very hard not too tight.

“You are a free lady now, Ruby, it is your choice if you want to follow me home or remain here, it is up to you, so make your choice,” Xavier mouthed out.

His face was now was a mask of simplicity, he didn’t really know what to say, but glaring at the lady in front of her, he knew that she needed help a big one for that matter, but then, what can she do about it right now? he wondered faintly.

Ruby was the one who had the yam and the knife, and she decided to help the man or not, but then, there is one thing with her, and that is the fact that she hates the lady so much, like seriously, how could the man not notice these things, Ruby thought rolling her eyes.

Well, deep down in her, she didn’t quite feel comfortable with Xavier being around her, she knew the man had helped her but then, that doesn’t make any much difference, of course, it does not.

Heaving a gentle sigh, the lady now focused on staring at the Man as if he had just committed the worst crime in life.

“This is a setup, why did you buy me?” Ruby spat out as he glared at the lady with eyes spitting dagger.

For a moment, the young man was confused, he could barely think of anything possible, in fact, the manner in which the man had his eyes perched on her, the young man couldn’t take it anymore. Well, he kind of held his cool, that was just so awkward.

“I do not know about the setup part, but then, if you look at yourself then you should have the answers to your question already, huh?” the young man spat out.

The anger that boiled in the lady’s body knew no bounds, but then, she had to put it under control. There is nothing much she does about what the man had said, and as he stared at her, there isn’t much of a thing she would do just yet.

“You can get going then I will be fine,” Ruby said arrogantly, that wasn’t a good thing to say, but then, the words left her mouth almost immediately, and all she had to do right now is to wait for the man. to leave.

“I must be stupid if you I leave you in this condition, I mean, you are bleeding,” Xavier said in a gentle voice.

That was true, Ruby was in pain, she so longed for Xavier to help her while she was in the hospital a while ago, that wasn’t something that crucial then, but then, what more can she do about it? she wondered faintly.

For a minute, the lady sat there unable to move. That just suddenly became the peek of her insecurity, she didn’t even know how to break the news to the lady, that was weird, and the strangest thing that can happen to her.

“Is there something I should know?” she heard Xavier ask as he raised his brows, he quickly glanced at the lady.

The moment he thought that everything was alright, well, he got the shock of his life.

“I can’t walk,” Ruby spat out.

Her voice was extremely light when she said it, I wasn’t planning at all, and the manner he got his eyes glued on hers, that was weird, there isn’t much that could go around there. She thought faintly.

She saw Xavier’s face, it was blank, thus, it was void of emotions, Ruby didn’t know if he had heard her when she spoke or he is just snubbing her. Whatever the case was, the young lady decided to talk again, she just wanted him to hear her out, at least, if not for anything, for the fact that the lady didn’t quite know what was going on right now.

In Xavier’s mind, he had heard these things, and truly, he just wanted to crease his mind from these things, the farther he looked at the lady, the more he glared at her, he just wished he would just have changed his mind about it.

“Hey! did you hear? I said I can’t walk…” Ruby spat out and before she noticed what was going on, she was in Xavier’s arms. She gasped, and the shock that embodies hers was close to known, she couldn’t believe that the man had heard her so well.

“Oh my Gosh! you are being so arrogant, at least, you should have at least warned me that you are going to be carrying me, huh?” she blurted out.

She just said these things because they didn’t quite make any sense, in fact, the fact that she had said these things was because the man just tried his best not wasting his saliva on the lady, instead, he was just focused on walking.

“Why didn’t that damn man tell me before I was paying him off? oh no!” Xavier complained.

It is not like he cares anyway, just that he was trying to be mean to the lady, especially over the fact that he didn’t know that he had just used his money to buy trouble for himself.

“Just let me go please,” the lady spat out.

Well, that was just the way she had said It, it was weird, but then, what more can she do about it? she wondered faintly. As she brushed her mind around this, there is nothing she can even do about it.

“What? in this your condition, just let me take you home, okay?” he inquired raising his brows.

Ruby didn’t quite think of any of these cases, there is nothing much she can do about it, but then, what more could she do about it? she wondered faintly. There isn’t much to talk about, in fact, she just wants the man to leave her alone.

Ruby was now in the car, and Xavier sat beside her, and the man suddenly closed the door behind him. The driver started the car, and it felt like it was her heart that was now running, it was awkward, but then, what more can she do? he wondered faintly.

“Did that young man do this to you?” Xavier asked staring at the lady.

Ruby’s face was just a simple mask of pain, she nodded lightly, and it was just her choice, a bad one for that matter. At once, she felt how the man’s first tightened up into a ball, it is obvious that he grew mad, and thus, Ruby used it as a point to feed his mind with it.

“Ethan hit me yesterday with a bat till I passed out. When I woke up, I was in a hospital, and the doctor had said I might not walk again unless I receive surgery, or my legs are being stretched out by a therapist. I guess this is what I deserve, nothing but misery, sorrow, and loneliness,” Ruby said.

This is the first time that she is engaging herself in any real discussion with Xavier, saying this made her feel light, it made her feel that security that Xavier might want to give him, she so much needed it. There is one thing that Ethan had promised her, and that is the fact that he will always be there with her, it was awkward, but then, what more can she do about it? absolutely nothing for the moment. Immediately, Ruby pushed her head towards the outside, that is the least that she can do right now, even do she can’t clearly think about it, there is nothing much she can really do about it, the more she glared at the lady, the more she didn’t even want to think about it.

She is aware of what she had told him, and that is the truth, but then, what she can’t understand is the fact that she might not have much to say to him, and the fact that the man might even find this harder for her, she can’t clearly wrap her mind around it, and that might be the parody about it.

“I didn’t know that Ruby, I am so sorry,” Xavier blurted out.

If nothing was more important to her, than just hearing Xavier apologize about something he doesn’t clearly know about, then, it is something to talk about, like seriously, that is just so comforting, yet with all these things, she might still do as Ethan had instructed her to.

That is just so awkward, she doesn’t know about all these things, it doesn’t really mean that she is being loyal to Ethan, but then, when she thinks about the fact that Ethan might get to her in a blink of an eye, it scares the hell out of her.

That is so frustrating, she doesn’t quite know what to do, but then, that is it, there is not much to talk about again.

“I am sorry about that,” Xavier apologized.

Ruby pretended like he did not hear him say anything, or more, she didn’t just want to reply, but then, she thought about the possibility of being arrogant to the man, and she decided to tell him the blank truth.

“You aren’t sorry, if not you wouldn’t have bought me. Talkless of the amount you gave out for me, am I that worthless? she inquired faintly.

A tear dropped out of her eyes, she clearly had every right to cry, it isn’t even her fault, and the deal is that she can barely even think about these things, but then, that is it, what more could be added into it? she thought about it for a moment.

Right now, they both had their eyes perched on hers, she was used to that, but it didn’t quite make any difference, she is doomed already and the pain from it is nothing more than what she can do about it.

Xavier was now the one who is embarrassed, he felt like the lady was right, but then, what more can he do when what Ruby is saying is the truth? he had not done this because he wanted it, instead, it was out of pity, because of the fact that the man had been beating the lady, and the fact that he couldn’t do any less other than watch the lady suffer, he had proposed for the lady to be bought. That is awkward, the pain from it is one that she can’t really change if, but then, what more could be done right now? he wondered. Lifting his head to glare at the lady, he decided to apologize.

“I am sorry I bought you,” he apologized.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

That was it, and although Ruby wasn’t satisfied, she just kept her mouth shut.
