Chapter 28 Striking Truth
Ruby heard Collins chuckled as she called him Mr. Dreamer, well, to her she didn’t find it the least funny, as things were tough, and as she brushed her mind aside, she just wanted to leave this place, the earlier she does so, the better it will be for her. As she looked at the man closely not knowing what to do or say at all.
“You know I wouldn’t kiss you right? and I only see this as a form of harrassment. If you do not mind, I will love to have my way so that I can go home, and no, you can’t take me home,” she concluded firmly.
Runy Just wanted to be sure that her message had cut across the man’s ears, and now it was for him to let her go. She felt like the frustration. was too much, more than what she can actually face, and the thoughts of it was like nothing he had ever felt before.
This time, when she wanted to leave, Collins didn’t pose her a problem, but still resisted from letting her go, which was kind of awkward. As she looked at him wearily, she asked in frustration, her voice all weak and sounded tiring.
“What is it again? young man, I said I have to go home now, what is so difficult to talk let me go now?” Ruby asked in frustration.
She didn’t know what to do again, like seriously, her despedation qas already up to the task, she barely has anything to say, in fact, her prayer right now is for Collins to let her be, she needs to go home now. At least, if Ethan sees her without a man around her, he wouldn’t think she was outside all day doing something that didn’t make any sense, coupled with the fact that he decided not to give her extra money for transport, she can use It as an opportunity to let the man know that that is the reason why she is late.
Ruby already had a premonition that things wouldn’t go well for her, in fact, she doesn’t even have the urgeel to keep calm, her minds so fucked up right now. As she glared at Collins’ face, she had a long face filled with sorrow, she didn’t want to put it in heart that the young man was trying to be bad to her, hell no! instead, as she gazed at the man, her heard beat was just accelerating. All she wanted was to leave.
“Fine, you can leave, but, can I at least give you a peg on your cheek?” Collins asked.
He doesn’t know why he is overreacting like this today, especially being too clingy towards the lady as he tries having his way towards her. Not like he had a sudden crush on the lady, but her ways pleased him a lot, more like she was scared of something, or more like someone, he wanted to be of help even If it is the slightest bit, but no! the girl didn’t even want to interact with him, she just left him to wonder around with his thoughts as he is trying to figure out what the actual matter might be.
Sighting, he shook his head lightly as the lady’s words penetrated his ears.
“Good, you’ve won, just a mild kiss on my cheek, and that is all, do it then so that we call call it a night,” Ruby muttered as jf her concern was not on what she just said.
And indeed, she was right, oh yeah! she was, a Ruby was very careful not to let anything transpire between any man and her again, in fact, the way Ethan had taken advantage of her, she doesn’t think that it is a good idea to remember her past wounds, it might make her want to cry, and that is just a memory that she keeps pushing it at the back of his head, it aches her head too much.
Positioning herself, Ruby closed herself to allow Collins to see that she is ready for whatever that is going to take place, and as she did so, she didn’t want to talk too much, just feel his lips on her was enough, yes, it is.
The reason why Ruby had closed her eyes while Collins is about to kiss her is because she thinks that if her she’s are open while he was to perform the act, it will be so difficult for her to let that happen, like seriously, just staring at the man bringhis lips towards her facs might cause several days of sleepless nights to her, she will find absurd to even think properly, but then, on another notes, Ruby thought that she was being irrational.
For heaven’s sake, It is just a peck and nothing more, like seriously, she doesn’t have anything to lose, so the only thing is that she has to stop panicking too much, it isn’t helpful at all.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Instead of Ruby to be kissed, she felt a loud scream coming out from Collins direction, and immediately, she opened her eyes, she gasped in shock. Ethan stood in front of her with a bat in her hands, and she was shocked when the young man had a devilish scowl painted on his face.
Immediately Ruby saw the scowl on Ethan’s face, she had so many things running through her mind, she could barely understand what is going on, where the man is coming from an me all these things. Instantly, she pulled her face towards the man on the ground.
“Collins!” Ruby breathe the word out.
It was kind of awkward to see how the man was on the ground, a light pool of blood had already settled beside him, and there is nothing he can even do about it. The frustration was too much, the fear in her heart was the worst in all cases. She knew that Ethan was a beast, but at least only to her, but that did not mean that he wouldn’t cross the line. She had not expected this to happen, and immediately, her heartbeat started pouding heavily.
Ruby found it difficult to breathe, she damn knew that she was in a deep shit, and the fact that she might not sureive this was something that she can’t do without it.
Rushing towards the man on the ground, Ruby instantly grabbed Collins by the arm as he swirled him around to face her. As he laid on his back, he groaned in pain. His head had slit from the effect of the bat on his head, and his eyes were damn red.
Blood was already shooting out of his nostrils, she felt so frustrated, it’s like nothing she has ever felt in her life. She didn’t want to leave this man here in this kind of a situation.
Tapping his face lightly, he urged him to open his eyes and faced him, she was scared of the fact that he was going to die, and if that is going you happen, that will Indirectly mean that she killed him, yes, she will be Ethan’s collaborator, she will bloody know the truth about Collins’ death, and the effect was so striking, more than anything she has ever felt in her life. If Ethan does not kill him, then the guilt from her will just be enough to quench her silently.
“Collins, please, open your eyes, I do not want anything to happen to you, please,” Ruby called out.
It is the worst thing that can ever happen to her, the fear from the fact that Ethan will crush her down is just so bad. Her heart was now pumping, she looked at the man in front of her eyes wanting him to at least open his eyes, but that is just something that wouldn’t happen.
Collins constantly groaned, no words escaped from his lips, and this made chills to run down Ruby’s spin.
Putting her head up, she glanced at the man in front of her as she begged him to help her.
“Ethan, please, we need to help this man out, he is going to die, please, help,” Ruby blurted out in a wavery voice, and as she was unable to withhold the tears that choked her up, she burst out crying.
As she did so, Ruby fell on Collins body as she heard his heartbeat thumping heavily across his chest. She cried, not only was she in pain, but she felt like the young man wasn’t going to make this true. Ruby was tired, the frustration was too much, and there is nothing she can possibly do right now.
She wept, and expected Ethan’s heart to be softened, but hell no! her expectations were cut short when she felt Ethan grabbed her hands from the back. This is the worst pain that Ruby has ever felt before, she moaned in pain, she didn’t want to have anything to do with this man anymore, in fact, if she has the courage to confront this man here, maybe she can have some people who will either pity her to stay, or even more, make her speak up the truth on why she is being molested by the man, but no! the streets where already empty because it was late already, and only the heavy sounds coming from the club was heard, and it would be too loud for her little screams to be heard by anyone. In case she didn’t know it, she is doomed, more than the word itself, she saw the frustration painted on her face and it was like known that she has ever faced in her life.
Suddenly, Ruby had the urge to talk back at Ethan, to challenge him was the only thing she had left right now, and she was going to be fearless and this is the worst thing that she can even place his mind on. Swirling her head towards him, she decided to talk back at him.
“Ethan, let go off my hand right now, I have always known you to he a beast, yes, you are, just let me be, this whole issue have being going on for too long now, whoy can’t you just let me be? lime seriously, give me the freedom I deserve, or is that too much to ask? in fact, let me just stay on the streetz or go back to where I came from because everywhere is better than leaving with you here, it’s like I am in some sort of captivity, If leaving me in pain makes you happy, then, you should let me be,” Ruby spat out.
She had not yet concluded with the things she had in stock for him, they were still many, he had the urge to vomit it all, and unless she does so, her heart will not be at least. Catching her breathe, she decided to talk some more. Yes, her intentions where to make her voice heard, she wanted tomakeke the young man feel guilty, at least, he deserves that.
“As if that is not enough, you had the guts to use a bat on this man? hmm! Ethan, what did I ever do to you? what are you being so heartless? as if you are the devil’s associate, please, Ethan let me be. At least, let us help this man out, he is bleeding profusely, and he will die If we don’t help him out. This is the worst case that I have ever seen before. Now, listen to me carefully, I don’t want you to get any close to me, like seriously, if not I will let the whole world know about you, about how wicked you are, and even more, how you are capable of killing and them too,” she blurted out.
Ethan didn’t say anything, in fact, he had a special punishment for her. Gritting his teeth, he glared at the girl with a smirk on his face.
“Let’s go home,” he spat out disdainfully.
