Sold To Mr President

“Ethan, please stop, I am sorry, please stop,”

Ruby screamed at the top of her voice. There is no way that she is ever going to stop screaming because Ethan was at her face pounding severely.

In anger, Ethan yelled at her asking in a deadly tone,

“Stop? why should I stop, and line seriously, do you mean it, after serving me that trash to eat? hell no, absolutely no, I wouldn’t stop hitting you till you have some common sense into that your thick skull,” he exploded.

This is the worst thing that could ever happen to Ruby, she felt weak, the young man above her head hit her everywhere, on her face, her eyes, even her head. There is basically nowhere that was spared, absolutely nowhere and as he pressed her neck in hopes to suffocate the air out of her guts, Ruby saw her life flicker before her.

Suddenly, Ethan’s conscious judged him, and seeing Ruby struggle for breath, he released his grip from her neck.

“I do not want to kill you, lady, but the way you keep tempting me these days, I promise you that you wouldn’t go unnoticed, not at all, and I promise you, your day is soon approaching, you wouldn’t escape my wrath, I promise you that, and then, I will watch you die In cold blood,” he spat in anger.

This is not the first time that Ethan will beat and humiliate Ruby in this manner, and in fact, the rate at which it was reoccurring days is so annoying, she could barely even breathe as the air in her throat had now rightened itself, it is a difficult task to believe what is going on.

Ruby was on the floor beside the dining table and Ethan above her, so when he rolled off from her body, she thought for a minute that she is safe but it was just a higher step for the young man to do whatever he wanted with her.

“Stand! and I mean it, real quick for that matter,” he blurted out.

Responding to what he had said, Ruby rolled off from the ground, holding her neck in pain while gulping a huge quantity of air down her lungs.

Since she wasted a lot of time to do so, she wasn’t surprised when the young man grabbed her by the neck, hauling her towards the meal.

“I will ask you one more time, what is this, and did you serve me such a filthy meal?” Ethan questioned.

From the beating, he had inflicted on the lady’s she knew better than to tell him the correct answer if not, he is going to beat her even more.

Trembling, Ruby spoke, even though she found it difficult to talk.

“I am sorry I cooked this for you, but you know… the groceries at home are finished, and this is the little I could scoop out to make something for you,” she explained.

Ruby’s reply only aggravated the situation, it wasn’t a good one and deserved to be punished by him.

“Wait, what? the groceries at home are finished so you had to improvise something for me to eat?” Ethan asked in his annoying tone mimicking the lady’s voice.

This caused Ruby’s heart to trip, there is no doubt that Ethan is going to beat her up again, so she closed her eyes and waited for it. But that wasn’t part of the young man’s plan, instead, he made her open his eyes for him, it was important.

“Look at me, lady, just open your eyes and look at me,” Ethan shouted at the top of his voice.

Jumping in fright, Ruby popped her eyes open as she stared deep into Ethan’s blue eyes. She knew that she is in trouble, in deep trouble that she can’t comprehend herself, so, she creased her forehead wanting to allow the pressure to glide through her mind.

“I will tell you this thing once, young lady, and it will serve as a lesson to you, okay?” he said raising his brows at her, hoping that the question had penetrated her mind.

When she didn’t respond, he brushed that away from his mind, focusing on her beautiful face which he had succeeded in ruining big time.

“You! so you do not have time to do the shopping but you have enough time to go and attend stupid meetings huh? now tell me, who is responsible for that meeting, Matilda? because I might squeeze the air out of her lungs too,” he muttered squeezing her chin in his arms. He didn’t care if it hurts, it didn’t mean a thing to him, and the only thing that interested him right now is the fact that he had not eaten, and coupled with the news Oscar just gave him, he can kill her for all he cares.

In frustration, Ethan used the two potatoes to smash them on Ruby’s face.

“You can have the dog food yourself, it doesn’t interest me, but I will tell you, I need a meal before I return from wherever I am going to right now, have I made myself clear?” he asked.

His deep voice made her tremble in fright, and she forgot the words which happened to be ripped in her throat. When Ethan didn’t receive a reply, he slapped her head and although she had a huge lock of hair falling from one area to the other, the slap penetrated her entire body real quick.

Screaming in pain, she answered without planting another blow from the young man.

“Yes, Ethan, I have heard you,” she murmured crying.

Ethan always loved seeing her crying, it stood as a symbol that he had made his message clear, it was a neat one that no one is so damn ready to give up on right now.

“Good girl, if you reply like that often, then I promise you, we wouldn’t be having issues,” Ethan said releasing his grip from her.

Ethan knew that Ruby feared him so much, there is no doubt that things are going to always be like this with him always finding it easy to wrap her around his little finger, and allowing her to do his bindings. Swirling around, he tried walking away but stopped when he heard Ruby’s tiny voice cut through his ear.

“Ethan?” she called out.

Ruby’s voice was shaky, there is no doubt that she fears him, and even as he could barely hear her, Ethan just stood there, waiting for her to talk.

“What do you want?” Ethan asked anger filled his voice.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Suddenly, Ruby didn’t seem to find her voice, a lump had materialized itself in her throat, and thinking about it only succeeded in making him cry, that was kind of a dangerous thing to think about.

“What do you want, young lady? it should be something worth it if not you will be corrected with a heavy slap, so, beware,” he explained threatening her.

These are the things she knows already, and repeating for the million times since she knows him and has been his captive, she knew better now than ever not to waste Ethan’s time, it was not worth it at all.

Ruby forced her mind to think, there is no way that she is not going to try her best to think the situation out and as she found what she wanted to say, she blurted out to him,

“Please, can you give me money so that I can rush to the grocery shop now? I know that it is late, but then, it will be open and they will serve me. No need to give me extra money for a cab, I will walk,” she mouthed.

All these things were Ruby’s way to say that she is sorry, she truly was, and wanted to make it up to him. She is ready to trek to the grocery shop, buy whatever items needed and that she buys, Ruby is ready to carry them home no matter the distance.

As Ethan processed the words, he grew mad at Ruby, in fact, this is the worse thing she has ever had to say to him, and it made him want to destroy her at once.

Instead of Ethan continuing his journey, he walked back towards Ruby and grabbed her neck.

“You! I don’t know why you are behaving strangely these days but, let me make this clear to you, lady, if it is what I am thinking, then, don’t do it, I am warning you before time, and I mean it, what did it say? don’t do it,” he blurted out in anger.

His words only succeeded in confusing Ruby because they weren’t thinking about the same thing. Suddenly, she raised her voice, asking her question as she decided to know what is going on.

“Please, I do not understand…” ruby started but was silenced when Ethan’s deep baritone sliced in through her words silencing the hell out of her.

“Shut the hell up, Ruby, you and I know that you don’t love me, but then, you don’t have to love me, just allow me to have you around as my pet, and the day you will try running away from me or selling me out to any authority, I swear on the day we met, Ruby Helen Whitney, you will be as good as a corpse that day. I will deal with you so mercilessly that you wouldn’t leave to tell the story, have I gotten myself clear on this point?” Ethan asked advancing towards Ruby.

Their faces were now separated by only a thin layer of space, it frightened Ruby causing her heart to trip as if it wanted to break free from its cage.

“Yes, Ethan, the message has been understood, I promise, I wouldn’t let anything happen to your identity, I wouldn’t even breathe a word to anyone or talk with anyone too, this is a promise, I give you my word,” she said broking out into tears.

There is no way that Ruby could have been more sorry in her life than now, she looked at him with sincerity in her eyes, but it didn’t mean anything to the young man standing in front of her, it was his choice to believe her or not.

In order to brush these thoughts from Ethan’s mind, he slowly grabbed Ruby by the nape, forcing his lips on hers. Ethan seriously smeared his lips on hers, and it felt good having her soft lips crashing against his own.

When Ruby didn’t reciprocate his kisses, he used a better way to do so, by buying her lower lip so much that it made her moan, parting her lips for him to freely penetrate into it.

Ethan’s kiss was brief, and he only pulled out when Ruby’s tears entered her mouth, and he tasted it. as he pulled away from her, he insulted her even more.

“You little wimp, the more I stay with you, the more you grow worse in bed, and now, sharing a simple kiss with you is the hardest thing to do on Earth. Like seriously? you better work on yourself better okay? I don’t want to experience such things again, and I mean it, if you want to stay away from trouble, then, I would advise you to do the right thing, it is important for your health,” he blurted out sarcastically.

In fear, she nodded her head swiftly, this is the only good thing she good does right now without been beaten or scolded openly.

Stepping back, Ethan glared at Ruby and saw nothing but a little girl covered in fear, there is no doubt that she is afraid of him, of the unknown things that might happen to her if she misbehaves, they aren’t healthy at all.

Removing his wallet from his pocket, Ethan removed some money and handed it to her.

“Here, but the necessary stuff needed for the house, don’t forget to return on time okay? have I made myself clear, lady?” he added when she didn’t react.

Nodding, she answered to him, “Yes, Ethan, your message had been understood.
