Sold To Mr President

“Where are you going to?” Ruby asked.

This is the worst question she could ever ask a mafia lord like Ethan. The moment the question dawned on his head, he glared at Ruby fiercely. There is nothing that she could say now that wouldn’t piss this young man off.

In a husky voice, Ethan asked, “Do I have to take permission from you before I go out? when did that one start?” he blurted out aggressively.

He didn’t end there, he walked towards her, and crashed her face with a slap.

Screaming, Ruby cried in pain. This is the worst thing that has ever happened to her, it doesn’t even matter yet, but she feels like she hasn’t done the right thing by asking this man that kind of a question.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

The slap that Ethan gave landed on Ruby’s body like wild thunder, she cried in pain, she couldn’t even believe herself, and this is the worst experience in her life.

“Look at me young lady, I said you should look at me now,” Ethan yelled out at her.

Ruby didn’t want to, but then, she had no choice but to do so, there is absolutely no way to do so, as she tried to make things work out the way she plans it, it turns out that Ethan didn’t seem to like the question at all.

In frustration, she raised her head a little up, her head hurt her so much, it is from the fact that she has received a heavy slap from the man in front of her, and she can’t do anything to him because he is she so defenseless.

As her eyes met Ethan’s own, his deep blue eyes were now blinking, Ruby saw the hatred in them, and as he held her attention wisely, he grabbed her chin with anger, squeezing it painfully.

“Hey lady, listen to me now, I don’t ever want you to hear you asking me that kind of a question okay? you need to be as discreet in this house as possible. No matter what I do or say around here doesn’t concern you, where I go to or who I hang out with should be the least of your concerns. Not to talk about you asking me this silly question when I am about leaving the house. I own this house and everything that belongs to it, including you,” Ethan said fiercely, pinching her jaws with his hand.

He wanted his information to be understood, to he made his points to be as clear as anything he could ever wish for, so, there is no better, not at all.

“Have I made myself clear? this should be the last time you are going to ask me such a dumbass question, silly girl,” he muttered slamming her head with his fist.

It is the last thing he could actually do to Ruby because the girl has been suffering the worst things from this man, they were actually horrible, but then, she didn’t do anything to stop him, just stay in there miserably, like a stupid fixed lamp paint, waiting for the young man to harm her as much as he could.

She was entitled to him, as if kidnapping Ruby was not enough, he has inflicted so much fear in her that she can’t even do anything properly without being afraid that Ethan would get back to him. Deep down in Ruby, she knows that Ethan and his squad rules the whole of Douala, it is something that she can’t even hold her hands around it, thinking about it only makes her feel more terrible, and holding her head as if she has a headache, she allowed the tears to flow freely down her cheeks without allowing her face to reflect the pain she felt.

Ruby has accepted her conditions already, she doesn’t even have a family, so no one might save her, no one really even cares if she exists or not, neither did they care.

Now, the only thing that matters is the fact that Ethan can feed and cloth her without actually making fun of her. Deep down in her heart, she had accepted the fact that she is being violated in every sense of the word, but then, what can she do about it? nothing.

In this part of the country where only mafias rule, no one will even take note of my tears or try to help, no, it is only going to be my problem to deal with, then, when the man notices that I’ve been to a police station, or tried finding help from somewhere, She would be as good as dead.

Ethan has always promised to kill Ruby when he no longer needs her, this is because she does foolish things all the time, like seriously, it sulks, but then, there is no way that I can brush my mind around it

Ethan was no certainty that he has passed his message across to this lady, so he released his grip from her. It made her cry, but then, there is no problem with it, he knows that he always makes her cry, it is the best thing that can ever happen to him right now, and as he walked out of the house, he slammed the door powerfully.

The resounding effect on Ruby was alarming, she trembled thinking for once that Ethan was present beside her, well, that is not the case because the young man had left. It was just her and her weak self. Ruby hated herself for being so weak, she can’t even defend herself before him, that can’t ever happen, considering the fear that has been cast in her heart, she could not even talk to him in any possible way, that would be a disaster, a total mess which she doesn’t one to see it happen in future.

Crashing on the floor, Ruby burst out in tears, the heartfelt tears flushed her cheeks, like something that she had never seen before, it is so awkward, and thus, can barely think about it.

She cried all her energy away, if only she has a place to run to, and the person will protect her, she wouldn’t hesitate to do so, instead, Ruby will rush to the person, hoping that it saves her from the devil’s fangs.

***

Ruby had made up her mind to rush to the grocery shop before Ethan comes back from where ever he has gone, the rate at which he goes out these days has caused an alarm in Ruby’s head.

Although he knows that Ethan keeps a gun and also does some underground activities, which she has never caught him doing, Ruby feels so insecure staying with him. Well, it is not like she has a choice, after all, there is no reason for her to be afraid if she doesn’t poke her nostrils in his matters. This is something she has learned to live with it.

At first, she always had issues with Ethan when it has to do with minding her business, she thought that Always talking with him will save her from beating and violations, but no, that had not been the case. Instead, she had suffered from his wrath, with Ethan always punishing her.

Ethan beats Ruby when she doesn’t do anything wrong, then, if she does it worst thing on earth then, he will have her well thrashed out.

To him, doing so will make the lady respect him, and there is no way he can do otherwise, no way at all.

Entering the room, she closed the door firmly behind her. Ruby wanted to do things fast if she wants to be on point, she deserves it, and the earlier she does so, the best it would be for her, there Is nothing else to do about it.

Ruby’s room was a big one, well, not like the master’s bedroom, but then, she was comfortable with the shape and size of it. In fact, more than comfortable. The House was a duplex, with several rooms in its although only the two of them inhabit the house, leaving here Is kind of cool and although the view is limited to a particular horizon, that doesn’t stop her from enjoying her best as much as possible, thinking about it made a small frown to crease her forehead.

This is because she doesn’t see any reason why she should be happy, there is absolutely no reason at all. Starting at the room in front of her, it was painted lemon green. The color was never chosen by her, in fact, she doesn’t have the right to choose the color that she wants. In fact, everything is just so strange, she can barely wrap her mind around it, and staring at the sweetly scented room, the flowery flavor flared her nostrils.

“I am glad that even though Ethan hates me to the peak and he doesn’t allow me to get what I want always, I still love him the way he is, and also the way he made him__ in his own image,” Ruby said to herself.

She knew this was just a way to make him look good in front of her, but then, that is her own opinion, it is not the best of all times, yet she finds comfort in lying to herself. This is so bad, more than the way Ethan treats you.

While thinking about her awkward predicaments, she understood that she was the biggest fool that has ever existed in the entire history of the whole mankind. Like seriously, her head hurt so much, and as she peeled her clothes from her body, she turned to place them in the wash basket. Entering her bathroom, Ruby walked and stood in front of the mirror, and staring at herself, she looked as if she was a ghost. All the energy from Ruby’s face had disappeared, it happens to be the worst thing that she has seen in her entire life, and yes, she looks so ugly. Ruby had always known that she is ugly and looked like a bird, sometimes she stinks, and at other times, she looked like weed.

Advancing closer to the mirror, Ruby brought her hands close to her face and touched it lightly. As she did so, there is no way that she could deny the fact that it wasn’t her.

“Ruby, you are so ugly, I wonder how Ethan looks at you whenever he talks with you. Who knows, maybe that is the reason why he has to always beat you all the time,” she blurted out to herself.

This is to show how Ruby has been suffering in Ethan’s house. He is always there to maltreat her, there is no way that she could even have a breathing space when he is at her neck. Ruby finally walked away from the mirror, standing there will bring her more pain than good, she can’t even think that she has to stress her mind that much when it has to do with Ethan, but for now, she has no future, it is only herself she has to protect from the beast, and while she does so, she needs to know what Ethan lines or hate.

Considering the number of years she has spent with Ethan, it is still not enough for her to proudly say that she knows him. Instead, it is difficult for her to understand him. If she does something and swears that she has done it well, then that is just a mistake, the biggest one she could commit because Ethan will bring up something more than her to cope, and when he finally does so, there is no doubt that her name will surely be written in the book of the death, when he has to beat sense into her head.

Sighing Ruby decided to bathe, she must do so before rushing out to the club because she doesn’t want more trouble from Ethan.

Going beneath the shower, she allowed the liquid to flow down her body.
