Chapter 54 The plan
Ethan watched how Xavier made a step towards his car, and when he was certained that he wouldn’t eavesdrop on his conversation with Ruby, he started his speech making sure that he had the lady’s attention.
“Ruby, you are going to be very attentive to what I going to say, it is either a deal, or it is not, and I warn you, never you try doing something foolish, if not, I will harm you an the God damn man, okay?” he spoke out as he gave that dangerous glare to the lady.
Well, Ruby’s heart was now racing, she barely knew what to do or say, and as she struggled to look back at Xavier, she saw him talking with his driver. That was awkward because she wished that the man had her attention. She was disappointed with herself because no matter how hard she tried telling Xavier about her sufferings, her ego wouldnct let her be, not at all.
“You have sold me already, thus, you to not have anything to tell me,” Ruby spat out.
She was trying to be tough, but it only got harder because Ethan had control over everything, it was just easy to make the lady beg and writh beneath his touch, especially when he touches the right area. Slowly, he caressed her leg, and slightly pinched it causing Ruby to wince in pain. She had every reasons to obey the man, it is very important because Ethan was just using her pain to get the better part of her. If was working, and it made him cackle.
“You shut the fuck up, Ruby, now listen to me, this is not a plea, it is a command. Take this phone, it is having only a sin card in it, and if is also blank. I’ve managed it in a way that only one number can reach out to it which is the spare number at him. I always keep this for security purpose and it is on silence. That is how it is going to be from now on. Keep it close to yourself at all times, and do not forget to answer the call if I ever try calling okay?” Ethan spat out.
As a serial killer, he knew what he is going to do, when he is supposed to do it, and how, at least, that is the most important thing. For a moment, he thought about taking a step at a time, but he figured it out that time is not on his side, and the earlier he strikes the rock, the better it will be for him.
Ruby was now confused with Ethan given her a phone, in fact, her head was blank and there is nothing she can do about it. She had several questions popping in her head, it was awkward, but then, comfronting Ethan was the only way out right now.
“You’ve sold me out, Ethan, if you wanted to give me a phone, you would have done so a long time ago, not tonight, besides, I do not want,” she blurted out.
She tried giving Ethan a hasd time but then, when he lifted the clothes about his stomach, she was shocked to see a knife in there. Her reaction is that her mouth remained agape. How on earth was this young man walking with a knife or did he just put it in there before coming out of the car? the later might be the case, she had seen Ethan fidgetin for a moment when he first stopped the car few minutes back, he had definitely put it there to scare the hell out of her. In case he doesn’t know, his goal was attained and she feared Ethan even the more.
She could barely understand what is going on here, and the look on the young man’s face is an evidence that every wouldn’t be alright with her still she hands some of these things. Well, she wanted it to happen, but after a minute, she decided to let to slip out.
“What do you want from me?” Ruby blurted out.
This is the question Ethan had being waiting for a long time, in fact, he wanted to say it but comingout from Ruby’s mouth is an opportunity to set things out. This is the worst part of it, and it is a mistake from which she would never forget in her entire life.
“Give me a minute, I will be back,” Ethan spat out.
He rushed to his car, opened it, and searched for wrapped paper, the moment she saw it, she quickly took it out and returned to the lady’s side.
All Ruby did was to watch, her expression was engraved in wonder, she could barely think about anything, but then, what more can she do? nothing at all.
“What is that?” the lady inquired in doubt.
For a moment, Ethan couldn’t say anything, but then, he had to summon every ounce of courage he has in him, and at the time he finally had the courage to speak, he decided to let out the passage in a powerful way.
“It is milk, I want you to add it to that man’s tea immediately you get to his house okay? can you do that for me?” he inquired raising his brows.
This was bullshit, and an outright lie, he couldn’t gulp down what the man had just said down her throat, especially when he knew who Ethan was.
“I am no kid, Ethan, spit it out if not I am going to shout now,” Ruby threatened him.
“Keep your voice down, you damn idiot. Forget the fact that I am giving you out, Ruby, it is for a week or so, and you will be back to me, and I promise to treat you right, to be the better version of what I’ve never being before. Believe me, and I promise you that everything will be alright,” Ethan spat out in a calm voice.
Ethan tried his best keeping his voice low, it was impossible but then, he had to keep doing it. The look on his face was that of sorry, he just wanted to trick the lady into doing that.
Truth be told, Ethan is always the man of the situation, he knows how to do everything and the way he wants it, it is just so funny when the lady doesn’t believe her, but then, whatelse can he do? he wondered. Well, since he had explained it to Oscar that coming at the front desk to openly kill Xavier is putting his own life at risk, and the fact that the young man is always surrounded by guards makes it even complicated, but then, what more could be done in such a situation as the one he finds himself in.
Well, It is kind of awkward to think about it, thus, Ruby standa out as the only help he has for her. This is awkward, but then, what more could be done in cases like this apart from bringing in a backup plan? the young man wondered faintly. Actually, the milk powder he is forcing on Ruby is actually not… milk powder, but poison. He was going to use it on Ruby when they got home in case someone finds him with a knife or it being too dangerous to try it. No matter what that was going to be, since she isn’t going to use it right now, it is preferable to use it on Xavier then, and if it works, then, maybe Ruby of some foolish made might be held responsible.
Staring at Ethan in anger, Ruby barely had the words to spill out of her mouth, it was awkward, but then, what more can she do? slowly, she cried out in pain, the tears rolled out of her eyes, and she could barely do anything about it.
Seeing this, Ethan knew that he had found a soft spot on the lady, it was funny how she could be easily manipulated, it made him happy because if it works, then it will be Ruby’s problems to deal with and not his.
“I hate you,” Ruby blurted out in anger.
This is the worst case that could ever happen to her, but then, what more can she do about it apart from being a partaker of this ideal? well, Ruby knew that Xavier would have a lot of security in his house, and even the fact that she has to put that powder milk in his tea will be difficult, but then, talking at this point will only mean that she wants to die which is just a no from her part.
Even if the young lady felt that way, talking back at Ethan was just out of the ordinary, it is just so impossible especially as she tears for her life and everything that has to do with it, the stress Is just too much that she can barely think about it.
Ethan quickly placed the little packaged in the lady’s pushup bra, and as he felt her soft skin, he shook his head from left to right not wanting to think about it. It clearly did not make any sense, but then, what more can he do! nothing apart from glaring at Ruby as if he wants to kiss her.
Well, if that is the case, then it will have to wait because the lady disgusts him so much, he can barely think of anything these days, he hates the lady’s guts so much.
“The phone and the milk is in your breast, and it is well hidden, make sure no one approaches you, and do not fuck this plan up. Ruby, I tell you the truth, I have you in my mind and unless you make the right choices, I might not want to come for you, everyone will be happy, but if you try doing anything stupid, then, I might as well harm you, and not only that, I might fight to kill you. Do not taste the milk, okay? just don’t do it, huh?” he inquired raising his brows.
That was an easy way of saying things, but then, what more can he do? nothing at all. The only thing he had to right now is just to make sure that Ruby has to make his plans work. If it works, then that is a good one but if they catch her, then it is her fault, she would be held responsible.
“Tell me the truth, this is not milk right? I would help you if I know what I am doing,” the lady spat out.
Her eyes bore through Ethan’s own, she had heard him talk over the phone about this Xavier, and the manner in which he started at him with disgust, Ruby is not a baby to know when something is wrong from right, in fact, it makes hard to figure it out.
At least, the young man will not be his target right now, if not, she might not make it work, hell no! it wouldn’t sound naturally, and there is nothing she can do about it.
Ethan thought about telling the truth to Ruby, he wondered if it was worth it, but then, he brought his face close to hers as if he wanted to kiss her, and even though she had the anxiety to push her head behind, it was not just working at all.
They stayed like that for a second, and as he opened his mouth to say something, Ethan was interrupted by the large baritone that pierced his ears.
“Don’t you dare kiss that lady, she is mine now,” Xavier blurted out in his tanned voice As he crossed the distance between his car from theirs.
Well, he had not planned on kissing Ruby anyway, and as he glared at her, he murmured, “Don’t forget to do as I said if not you will have yourself to be blamed,” he said calmly as he stood.
“I did not touch her, she is all yours you know,” he spar out steping backwards.
