Sold To Mr President

It was around seven thirty that Xavier walked into the hospital. He made his way to Ruby’s ward, and was surprised when he saw her there with wide eyes. There was a doctor in the ward and after making a little check up, he walked up to Xavier greeting him in a polite manner.

“Good morning, Mr. Xavier. Ruby is awake, and you can have a word with her now,” the doctor muttered out.

At once, a small smile sprouted out of the man’s face, it is a good thing thing that he had his way of behaving.

“Thank you doctor, I will call you when U need you, okay?” Xavier called out as he stared at the doctor, he was simply trying his best in being policeee, and that is the best part of it, especially as

he didn’t want anything to happen to Ruby as he is about to have a discussion with her just now.

Ruby’s heartbeat had accelerated the moment she saw Xavier walking in through the door. It made her heart to beat severally, and that was weird, but then, what more can she do about it.

Feigning to be asleep, Ruby closed her eyes immediately. The is the only things has has left right now, and that is to pretend like she is asleep, that was not an option in case he didn’t know about it.

“I know you are not sleeping, Ruby, so pretending to be asleep is not a good option, just so you know,” Xavier muttered out as he looked for a chair to sit in front of the lady.

Xavier needs explanations from Ruby and unless he gets them, he might not let her go just yet, and that is just one thing that he cannot do about it.

“What do you want from me?” Ruby asked as she opened her bright eyes staring at the man.

She didn’t really mind what she had said, what interested her is the fact that she wanted to hurt the man if not physically, then with her words, at least, that is very essential, and there isn’t much she can possibly do about it.

Xavier did not mutter a word to Ruby until he had made himself comfortable on the chair, and then, he shot her that dangerous look that could kill anyone that would look at it. It is not that romantic, and he made sure to capture his eyes on hers. There is nothing much she could do about it. Catching the man’s attention, he was now focused on telling her what he wanted to know.

“You know why I am here, Ruby, so do not play the innocent. Why did you try poisoning me, or more, yourself?” Xavier asked in a very hard voice.

His eyes pierced the lady’s own, and he knew what he wanted, there was no doubt about it, all he wanted were answers to his questions and nothing more.

“I didn’t try to poison you, like I wouldn’t have consumed it myself,” Ruby replied his question in an old fashioned way.

“Come on spare me the lies, the poisoned drink was mine but you later on took it, and in case you do not know, I watched you from the bathroom as you decided to put something into my drink, so don’t deny it, okay?” he spat out.

That was the mere truth, and there wasn’t much she could actually do about it especially when her little secret had being revealed. The only thing in her mind right now is that she us going to prison because there is a witness, but then, it is her word against his, nothing more can be added to it.

That was really sad, the pain if actually mixing up things together made it worse, but then, Ruby still had a big heart, and she woundn’t want to involve him into this mess. It will be a hard nut to crack, and right now, time is not really on her side, and she thinks that it is really going to be difficult, more thanwhat she had expected.

Xavier had a scowl on his face, he was going to use it to his advantage, this is because he wanted to get to the root cause of this matter, and the earlier he gets to it, the better it will be for him, and he clearly knows about it.

“Ruby, we don’t have to talk about this issue and make it serious, just tell me wat happened in your room last night, was it intentional or you just had to do it by yourself. Please, tell me what I want to know because I feel very worried about you, and in case you don’t tell me, you will be the one to face the consequences, and I am sorry to tell you this but I will have to call the police,” the young man spat out disdainfully.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He was very damn serious with the manner in which he had said these words. He knew the temerity of what he had said, thus, he had his eyes glued to the lady’s own as he waited for a reply. He knew that the lady will tremble when he hears that, thus, he was ready for what is going to come, the lady deserves to be frightened, especially as he needs answers, that is very important in case she doesn’t know about it yet.

“You think I am coming right? I am calling the investigating department, when they get here, you will be put in cell till you can provide the answers that are needed to liberate you, thisss, if you know what is good for you, better tell me what the issue is so that I can at least do something on your behalf, that is necessary, more then, if you do not want to cooperate with ne, then be ready to face the consequences,” Xavier spat out.

He was beinf being serious with what he had just said, he even thought that it will scare Ruby a little bit, and the more he got his eyes plastered on Ruby’s own, All he wanted was the absolutely truth from her.

Ruby’s heart was now racing, she was scared of the unknown, she pretended like everything was alright, but she lied, it was absolutely not what she had thought about the man. But then, Xavier was just trying to be himself, that was normal, and there are several things that she needs to keep up with it is just being difficult for her to handle it.

The lady’s eyes widened when Xavier picked up his phone and started punching the numbers there. She was startled, she couldn’t even believe her eyes that the man will literally call the police, but when she heard him dialing the numbers, she was afraid to the moon and back, this, out of a sudden, she decided to speak out.

“I…” Ruby started but her words trailed of when she heard a familiar voice calling her name.

“Ruby?” the voice called out.

Swirling her head towards the door, she was surprised to see the man standing in front of the door. It took her a whole minute to remark the face and when she did, the lady blushed profusely. It was Colllins.

“You both know each other?” Xavier asked in bewilderment as he stared at the young man at the door, slowly bringing her attention back.

Ruby was now as red as a tomato, she felt the pressure that was being applied on her face, but then, what more can she do about it, she wondered shaking her head from left to right. That was not willingly, but then, there isn’t much of a thing that goes around when he tried doing things that aren’t worth it at all and the more Ruby felt like it is a trivial matter, here comes Collins with his own trouble.

“How did you know my name?” Ruby asked in confusion.

She knew for once that she had to battle with things, it made it difficult for her to figure out these issues.

Collins was on his way from the bathroom before he had noticed Xavier in another ward. All what was in his head is that his older brother had gone to do his political campaign since in is now the order kf fhs day, and it interests him more than anything in this life. Heaving a gentle sigh, he didn’t clearly want to think about it because it wouldn’t make much of a difference and the fact that life is not favoring him makes him want to grow mad, but on a second note, issues just got complicated, moreover, he doesn’t wish to talk to Xavier but then, he spotted him speaking to someone and on a close look, he noticed Ruby. The lady that is the cause of him being like this__ in this hospital. That was just the sad case, and everything was slowly turning out to be a disaster, and he hated it so much.

Collins stared at Ruby as he heard t questioned she just asked him, and he laughed provocatively. Well, it was a short and sharp laughter that ended up with them being so hard on one another. They could barely understand what is going on, but then, Collins stopped laughing to address them.

“I heard when that young man called you as he pulled you away. What are you I’m doing here?” Collins asked giving her all his attention as he avoided Xavier’s earlier question.

Xavier was now mad, he didn’t like the fact that Collins had just walked into the ward and stolen the spotlight that he was trying to enjoy, and more, the fact that he had asked a question and Ruby was avoiding it just made him grow and. He truly wasn’t finding this shit funny in case he does not know.

“You both should just stop your drama right now, Collins, Ruby, tell me what I want to be ar now and stop keeping me in the dark,” the young man spat out in anger.

That was the weirdest thing could ever happen to him, he didn’t quite believe the fact that these two people knsa themselves. Good enough for him, Xavier replied to him.

“That lady is Ruby, and she is the one I was with before a crazy guy came behind me and atarted hitting me with a bat,” Collins confessed.

Although his leg was bandaged, he did not use any crutches for support, and thus is one thing she hated the most, more than anything in this Life.

Xavier’s eyes widened in shook, and now it was Ruby to be confused about how the two men In front of her exchanged words so easily. It made her ask the question she wanted to know so badly

“What am I missing here? Collins, you know Xavier!” he asked in bewilderment

There was a moment of silence, and the three of them kept staring at the man as if there is nothing on earth.

There isn’t much to be said just yet, but the manner in which she fixed her eyes on Collins on him, he definitely expected him to give her a reply. Well, she wasn’t shocked when he replied to her.

“I am Xavier’s baby brothe, and you, what are you doing with him?” Collins asked raising his brows at her.

Ruby instantly fell silent because he didn’t know what to tell Collins, It was going to be kind of embarrassing letting him know that Xavier had bought her and she now belongs to him. Thinking about it caused shivers to run down her sound and that is really bad, but what more can she do about it, she wondered as she blushed profusely.

Good enough for her, Xavier replied to Collins with a smirk on his face. That was the worse day in her life and yet, she can’t do anything about it.
