Chapter 33 Beatings
“Who was that you were with?” Ethan asked glaring at Ruby’s pale face.
Hearing the question, Ruby’s face instantly turned into a mask of pain, he had not expected this question, and just the fact that she thought about it made shivers to run down her spine. She averted her eyes from Ethan’d face, she didn’t want him to see the fear that was painted in her eyes, it would he so humiliating that she wouldn’t want to see it. Hell no!
Following the direction of her eyes, Ethan was forced on asking Ruby the question, he truly wanted to know who that young man he had al. ost killed was. It is not like his conscience is judging him for the action in which he just committed, but at least, he wanted to know if the young man merited the punishment given to him, or more.
Heaving a sigh that seemed to be clutched in his throat, he practically waited for the lady to reply because right now, she was kind of behaving like she was guilty of something he doesn’t know about. Ethan was the man of the situation, he tried his best to memorize the lady’s face, her facial expressions, her body movements counted a lot too. He needed to know all these things because they were important to him, he carefully needed to knoww what is going on, it was necessary, and as he didn’t recieve a reply, he snorted, as he asked the question again.
“Lady, I just asked a question. Who was that young man I saw you with? and don’t you dare remain silent,” Ethan spat in disgust.
Hearing these threats, the young lady was startled, she definitely had every right to be frightened, especially when his but is Ethan, she feels more than a prisoner in the young man’s house, probably a slave, and she can’t even voice out her own existince, how will she when she definitely have more than a million threats and beatings placed on her by just doing so. It is going to be horrible, in case she doesn’t know that.
Lightly, Ruby lifted her head up to stare at the man in front of, her and the manner in which he glared at made her blink severally, and removed her eyes from him. She didn’t dare lie to him, but the issue that was going on in her mind right now is the fact that she will have to make the man believe that she doesn’t know Collins. Well, that will be a loose battle.
“I don’t know him,” Ruby muttered gently.
Her reply was based on the fact that she didn’t want lie to Ethan, but then, saying that she doesn’t know who Collins is will be a lie that she doesn’t understand jt herself, not to talk about the man beside her, he will never buy that lie in his entire life. Of course not, unless he is an idiot, and she knows better than to tell that he is one.
Ethan quickly got offended as he heard the lady say such a thing, the anger in him boiled so much that he wished he could just get there and slap her across the face. The young man’s hands had being squeezed into nice balls beside him, it was horrible, the worst case on earth, and more than what he can ever think about it. The anger in Ethan’s body made him to shake vigorously, and before he knew what was going on, he had to aske the question again.
“Ruby, who is the young man I saw you standing with half an hour ago?” he inquired raising his brows.
This is the second time that he was asking the question, and the manner in which he was stating at her, she knew best to adjust herself, esecially with the scowl that was painted on his face. Ruby watched how Ethan carried the glass of whiskey to his mouth as he expected her to give him a reply. It was not an easy one, in fact, she just wanted the man to know the truth, and although it was hard to believe it, she definitely had to inform him that he has nothing to do with Collins, he is a total stranger that he had met too, and the fact that he saw him with her doesn’t mean anything at all, especially the fact that they might probably be having an affair with them.
As she looked at Ethan directly in the eyes, she was fast in shooting it out to his face, she doesn’t care if he believes her or not, the most important is the hact that he need to know the answer, that is what is the most important like seriously.
“I said… I don’t know the young man,” Riny spat out in annoyance.
If Ruby had being wise enough, she would have quickly avoided the drama that was about taking pkacez especially when she is the one that will suffer the consequences, something that she is not ready to face just now. In anger, Ethan used the glass to crash it on the wall at the rear end of the room, it was beside Ruby, and she didn’t have the courage to move. Well, mainly because she had the knowledge buried deep down in her heart that Ethan wouldn’t harm her__ at least not with a glass, or was she practically being hapoy because Ethan’s glass didn’t touch her is one of the reasons that he can’t figure It out herself. Hell no! she probably can’t.
As if throwing the gass filled with whiskey past her, Ethan swiftly wome up and before Ruby could blink her eyes, the young man was there, at her neck trying to squeeze life out of her. That was an uneasy task, but the young man was more than determined to make the lady suffer, if she couldn’t give him a concrete reply, he better torments her till she changes her mind.
Ethan was now holding Ruby’s neck tightly in his hand, he secured it hard to the mouth that if he did not let her be, she was definitely going to pass out from lack of breathe penetrating her lungs. Well, Ethan’s action was cause by the anger which had swelled up in his heart, it wasn’t something easy, especially when he couldn’t support the fact that he was about harming her.
In frustration, he allowed her neck, but knocked her off balance when he slapped her towards the ground.
“Ruby, don’t make me harm you, I just want naked truths from you, if you keep telling me you do not know that man, then you are definitely going to have it hot with me, yes, I assure you that,” he spat out in disgust.
He held his right hand on his left hand firmly, as he gave it a gentle rub while staring at the lady in front of him. His intentions an out ago while returning to the house was to take care of Ruby, to possibly make peace with her, but after seeing her with that man, all what Ethan wants is to murder her like the other people in his life. Oh yes, she deserves ot in case she doesn’t know, and the fact that he kept staring at her at the moment was a prove that he will do that if he doesn’t control his anger. Well, the anger he is talking about is just a mile apart from snapping from reality, the worse one in all cases.
As Ruby felt on the carpet floor, she had her luck that Ethn had pushed her towards the carpet if not, she would have acquire at least a bruise. For a moment, she thought that was all, but damn it, she was just making a fooll of herself. Ethan quickly met her on the floor, and smashed his weight on hers as he pinned her down. The next moment, he hands were raised right up above her head as the you’ve man squeezed himself between her. She squirmed in pain, and opened her mouth to beg while trying to squeeze away from her.
“Please, let go of me, Ethan, you are hurting me,” Ruby cried out as she choked on her tears.
Ethan’s eyes were slowly turning red, the anger in his head was taking the worst out of her, the one that read in his mind more than anything right now was to punish her. She deserved to be punished more than anything on earth, and he was purely going to mess around when it has to do with that.
Rolling his eyes in pain, Ethan raised up his hand to also Ruby across the face causing her to scream in pain. It hurt him to see the young lady that he had nurtured for himself was now being played on with another man. If she couldn’t have him, then no one will, especially not that man he had seen her with. The only wish that crossed his mind right now is the fact that he wanted whosoever the man is to die.
“You idiot, I didn’t know you to be a harlot, now, Ruby, tell me, how many men have you gone behind my back sleep in around with? you better tell me now because I am do damn tired of keeping a low life lady in my house, someone that can’t control her sexual urges, hell no. In case you do not know, I will definitely give it hot to know right now,” he shoots out in anger.NôvelDrama.Org content.
Hearing these words, Ruby cried because it was not the truth, in fact, she wished to tell the man that this is all a misunderstanding, like seriously, he had not dreamed to make all these things happen and the more she wasted time talking, the more the young man was bent on giving it to her hot. Gasping for air Ruby tried explaining the situation to him, she didn’t want to be hurt, definitely not tonight, and the worst of it is that she will surely be harassed if the only thing she did was to stay underneath him and cry.
“Ethan, this does not want you to think, of course not, I didn’t do anything with that young man, talkless of having an affair with other men, please, believe me when I say this, it is the sole truth,” Ruby cried out.
This only infuriated him the most, and before he knew what was going to on, he had slapped her once more across the face.
“Ruby, will you just shut the fuck up? I saw you, I had been monitoring you from my car for about fifteen minutes, I saw you and you didn’t even try to push that young man away from you, and he kissed you too, didn’t he? now, tell me what excuse you have to give for that lewd attitude of your, bitch, you disgust me,” the young man spat out disdainfully.
He was so damn serious about what he said, especially when he kept glaring at the man like that, it felt like nothing he had imagined before. His main aim was I bear her to stupor, to let her know that no one messes around and goes away with it freely, thus, she has the right to punish her to death. He cares not and besides, he is so damn focused on punishing her.
Ruby heard these words, he had not known that the man had seen him, and the grave expression on his face said it all, he was in shock, and more than that, she was now aware of the fact that Ethan had seen her with Collins for quite a while, but she has to refuse the fact that she had been kissing Collins, especially when it is not true. She did not kiss him, and thus, would not be tagged by that name.
Avoiding his eyes, he spat the words out, “I did not kiss the young man,” she said calmly.
