Sold To Mr President

Ethan grumbled hearing Ruby begging him to open the door for her. Heaving a sigh that seemed to be clutched in hi throat, the young man decided to walk over to the lady’s side an helped her. Removing the things from the car, he handed some of them to Ruby, and held the rest in his hands as he walked towards the door allowing the lady to trof behind him.

Ethan wasn’t happy with Ruby and she knew about it. Each time Ethan was in his deadly mood, all what Ruby could do is to avoid him. Yes, because the slightest thing right now can lead to violence, and that is not something she wants right now, hell no. The young man was tired of doing some things that doesn’t make any sense to him, she surely didn’t want to do all these things just yet because it will be so stressful, more than what she has actually thought about.

Using the spare key that was on him, Ethan opened the door and entered. The moment Ruby expected him to slan the door on his face, he was shocked when all that didn’t happen. Instead, to her greatest surprise, the young man held out the door for her to enter. Deep down in Ruby’s guts, she knew something was wrong some where, she would be a fool to just enter the house straight away. Of course not, she isn’t dumb, and even though she was scared of that, she still finally made it possible to brace her mind away from these thoughts, they were necessary, more than anything on earth.

Summoning all the courage she had in the world, the young lady stepped forth and entered the house. The house was as quite as the way she had left it, and there is no doubt that it represented her mood at the moment. Cold, tranquil, and deep down in her heart, it just set up a pace for her punishment, she expected it from Ethan, and even if she wanted to talk back at him, what could she probably do? nothing of course. There is absolutely nothing that he can fo right now and the stress from it is more than what she can actually think of. She was frustrated, and she just walked directly into the kitchen to arrange the grocery stuffs.

As she made her first step, Ruby heard how Ethan closed the door behind her, and she felt like it was her heart that was being shut. Her heart sank deeply beneath a space in her stomach, it was like this terrifying feeling that she had ever felt before. The stress from it was evident, her heartbeat had accelerated, but the fact that the man didn’t say or do anything to her made her summon all the rest of the courage left in her to move forth.

Ruby made her way to the kitchen, and she was followed closely behind by Ethan who brought the rest of the stuff to the kitchen and placed it on the slab at the center of the kitchen.

The fact that Ethan had not spoken about what had happened earlier made Ruby’s heart to pound heavily, and that was the fear of it, the fear of it made her arrange the grocery stuff as favt as her hands could let her handle it. She was afraid of the impossible and as she felt the man walk away, it still didn’t help her relax. The worst feeling that could happen right now was that after making sure Ethan was out of sight, she heaved a sigh that seemed to have being clutched in her chest for a very long time.

There is no doubt that Ruby is a prisoner, worst than that, a slave and she is also a stupid fool for not telling Collins the truth when she had the chance too, well, maybe the man might be able to help her out, one can never tell. Ruby had the urge to slap her right now, the feeling she had in her was just so mad, it felt like she was possibly going to die in case something happens to her, the fact that she was already doomed didn’t imply that she had to involve more peoplele to the saga too, well, she would have thought about al these things before even thinking of goijg there. The stress was evident all over her face.

Ruby judged herself for being selfish, she knew the kind of man Ethan was, yet she kept Collins by hersade, instead of warning him to back off. Well, all these things would have being possible if he didn’t try anything foolish like trying to kiss her. All these thoughts kept filing in through the lady’s mind, the effect was just a daunting experience to her mind.

She had seen the man slope to the ground in a fit, she had watched him groan in pain while refusing to open her eyes, she had seen him experience all these things and the thoughts just made her frown her face so badly. Ruby had a reason to blame herself for the young man’s predicament, all these things had happened in just a blink of an eye, and the effect was just so terrifying. Thinking about these things made him roll his eyes in shock, he definitely didn’t want to talk about all these things. Shaking her head, she tried her best not to figure these things out, it wasn’t just the best thing, and thus one of the best things that could be done ever in her life.

Leaving Collins on the ground only created a hole in the lady’s mind, especially as she didn’t want all these things to happen to him, rhe frustration she felt was just the worse in all cases, she kept shaking her head from left to right as she knew that this whole issue wouldn’t turnout well. It definitely had no reason to have a happy ending, but then, the young man’s thoughts were purely getting the best out of the whole deal. Ethan will kill her before she even have the chance to apologize, and thus, what will she have to tell herself for dying prematurely? that she left her primary instincts to get the best of her? hell no! she can’t probably do that kind of a thing, but then, no matter how hard she tries to deny it, that is the truth, her stupidity, or more, naiveness had landed her into the pit that she is today.

“Ruby?”

Ruby was arranging he last set of things in the kitchen when she heard Ethan’s deep voice from the kitchen calling her name.

Immediately, her heart sank deeply in her stomach she knew therefore that her time had arrived for her to be condemned, it wass kind of awkward, and the stress from it is just more than what she could ever imagine. She didn’t know why Ethan was calling for her, but just the fact that she was being called caused her to panic, the fear was rooted in her heart, she definitely didn’t know what to possible think about, and as she wasted more time, she heard her name being sounded again, this time harsher than the previous time.

“Ruby?” Ethan called out again.

Jumping in fright, Ruby hurried out of the kitchen and into the living room where she saw the man there, sitting on the couch in the living room. The scowl on Ethan’s face immediately showed that he wasn’t happy with her, of course, there is no way that she can ever be happy with a man like this, the anger that was printed all over his face was a clear warning of the things that should be said or not.

“You called for me, Ethan,” Ruby pouted gently.

Her eyes were focused on the you man’s body, especially on his legs that he had pulled up to his knee. Ethan had poured himself a glass of scorch wine, and he held in it his hand. He looked so hard that when Ruby had opened her mouth to talk to him she grew so mad at her.

Ethan started by gently raising the glass in his hand, and using his index finger to point at the lady, he glared at her with eyes spitfing daggers.

“How many times do I have to call for you before your respond? huh, you deaf girl,” he spat out disdainfully.

He expected a reply from the young lady, he purely needed an answer from her, and she knew best to answer him.

“I am sorry, Ethan, I wanted to finish packing the grocery stuffs,” Ruby replied kindly.

In case she didn’t know, the least thing she did or say tonight was going to be a taboo right now, it will lead to Ethan getting angry and each of his nerves working our to disfavor her. The stress from it was like known that she has felt before, she had the urge to press it out of her mind, but that happened to be impossible.

Hearing this, Ethan hissed as he registered what she had just said. When he had gathered enough materials in his head, he decided to shoot his shoot at the lady.

“So… what you are trying to tell me is that you respect the groceries that you are arranging more than me right?” he shut out in anger.

The pain Ruby felt after hearing this was like a blow to her soul, she could not imagine that these people will say such a thing as such. As he braced her mind away from these thoughts, it is like the whole universe was in her head. She can’t possibly think of anything possible, the thoughts that kept piling into her head didn’t help a bit. It is obvious that the young man was just interested in looking for more than one way to entrap her in his snare.

“Hell no! Ethan, you know I do not value these things more than you…” Ruby stated, but her words were trailed out when Ethan cut in with his own words.

“What do you mean then, that I am lying?” Ethan added. The anger in his chest started rising, and he would do anything that is in his power to show that he is the boss here.

Hearing this accusation, Ruby sat quiet, she barely had anything to say especially when it will only set as a base for Ethan to manipulate her, it is annoying that she is so helpless like the word itself. The young lady felt tears stink the back of her eyes, she was in deep shit and whatever she says that doesn’t make any sense would be use as a base to mock her, and even more, she might be affected by that. The effect of it was just so hopeless, she barely had anything to do, and the stress that clouded her head caused her to apologize before she knew it.

“I am sorry Ethan,” Ruby said apologizing.

Well, tonight she was wise not to fall into the young man’s trap, she actually knew better because all these things wouldn’t work well if she just decided to stand ther and battle words with Ethan. Bowing down her head, the young lady tried her best to avoid the man’s gaze, but she knew all these things she was doing didn’t make any sense. Of course not, whether she likes it or not, Ethan will still get her no matter how hard she tries in being cunning and all good. Things wouldn’t work well for her, especially not when Ethan’s heart was bubbling with anger, he needs to punish her because if he doesn’t strike the iron while it is still hot, it might make the lady to do stupid things in future. It was settled then, as he glared at the lady, he prepared the question he wanted her to know about.
