The Ruthless Man

Chapter Eight

HINDI NIYA NA NAKONTROL ang sarili nang nakita niyang nasa bisig ni Baxter si Marie. He didn't mean to do that,he was supposed to be punishing ang yelling at her but it didn't turned out right. He knew it would break her,he tried so many times to stop himself but he couldn't,Marie is always bringing out the beast inside.

He stood at her room's door,doubting if he'll go inside or not. What he did was unforgivable,but what Mr. Patron did to him is not. His eyes darkened because of the tragic memory flashes through his mind,he shouldn't feel guilty for what he did. She deserves this.

He entered the room with his cold,dark eyes and scanned it. And there,he saw a lifeless woman on the balcony crying-emotionless. Her face is so fragile,that soft-sweet lips that is tempting and red,and that blue-green eyes filled with diamond tears that is flowing on her rosy cheeks.

He was wrong. Marie was innocent,a goddess to be kept and be take care of. He sighed. Kaninang umaga pa ito hindi kumain,hindi ito bumaba at hindi rin ito na mamansin kung sino ang pumapasok sa kwarto nito. Gayle said that she never took a glance on her when he entered the room to change the blood-stained blanket and beddings of her bed. She said that Marie is on the balcony for hours,and yes it's true.

He cleared his throat to stole her attention from what she was looking but it didn't work,instead she just kept on looking on what she was looking as her tears continued to stream down. He noticed her big black eye bugs on her eyes,she is facing side ways kaya hindi siya nito nakikita. Maybe she cried all night.

The silence between them is killing him so he started,"You didn't ate your breakfast and lunch. I ordered Gayle to bring it to you here but you just left it.",it sounds awkward for him to start this kind of conversation.

He knew that she heard it but she ignored it. She kept on looking outside. Nang hindi siya makatiis,he walked towards her and grabbed her inside,she stumbled a little. He closed the glass door of the balcony and faced her.

Her eyes is so much different from what he saw these last few months. The hopeful eyes turned to hopeless and helpless. She braced herself with her hands,she wrapped it around her chest like it's protecting herself from him. He heard little sobs coming out from her mouth but she's trying to control it,she's trembling and her eyes change to fear.

"I-please...don't hurt me,sir. I didn't do anything...please...",she begged.

He tried to touch her but she ran away and settled herself on a corner of the room she slowly fell down to the ground and cried. She fold her feet and buried her face on it with her hands on his face while crying uncontrallably.

He touched his forehead and massage it lightly as he closed her. What the fuck did he do? He can hear her cries and sobs on every corner of the room and it fraustrates him. He didn't mean to go this further but what the fuck! He punched the wall beside him again and again until his hands bled. He looked at Marie that is now sleeping on the floor or...she fainted?!

He ran towards her and scooped her in his arms. Naramdaman niya na sobrang init ng katawan nito,when he placed her on the bed,he checked her forehead and damn! She's sick. He picked up his phone and called Ashton.

"I need medicine for fever. Bring it to me immediately I'm at Marie's room."

"But boss,I-"

He ended the call when Ashton tried to reason out.

When Ashton brought the medicine,he immediately woke her up and he let her drink it,at first she refused but ended up drinking with no choice because he threatened her. This is his first time he took care of a sick person and he felt awkward to do it.
