This chapter is unedited."I think you two should talk and put your differences aside, get to know why you hate each other, maybe you'll be able to settle it," Ruth suggested, Santiago looked at her but didn't utter a word, he circled his hands around her waist and pulled her closer and rested his head on her shoulder. "Sometimes it's okay to be weak and show emotions Santiago." She weaved her hand through his wet logs. "Thank you, but I think I'll pass. I don't want to know him, let's just stay the way we are." Ruth just shook his head, both of them are stubborn and are too proud to talk to the other, they are hiding behind the hate they once had for each other. If he truly still hated him then he wouldn't be feeling bad right now. She stood up and pulled him up, she took him into the room, "Put something on and come down, we are all waiting for you." She kissed him and left. He wore he clothes and went down to join them. Mateo on the other hand had regained consciousness
Santiago and Mateo decided to continue working on the project, both brothers were proud to say to each other, that it was hectic whenever they met. They acted like they hated each other but their eyes spoke something else. Late at night while everyone at Santiago's house was fast asleep, the guards standing at the front of the door just swapped positions while the previous guards went to sleep. Men in black break-in, it happened so fast that the guards didn't perceive it. The intruders slit the throats of Santiago's men who were watching the front door. They went to the gate and opened it, a man dressed also in black with a mask on his face, came in. He came with more men, the mission was to kill Santiago and everyone close to him just like they did his parents years ago. One of Santiago's guards who had forgotten his torch came back, he saw the intruders and hid behind one of the pillars, he saw that all the guards on duty had been killed. He thought of going to alert th
They all gathered in the living room, "How did you know that I was going to be attacked?" Santiago asked. Mateo pulled out his phone and gave it to him, "Someone sent me this anonymous message, saying that you'd be attacked today. I don't know who and why. He refused to disclose the identity of the man who attacked you because he was scared of getting caught in the chaos." "Who would want you dead Santiago?" Ruth asked. "Everyone wants me dead." General Nikolas had heard of the news, he took it as his opportunity to question them again. His deadline was drawing near, if he doesn't bring a mafia soon, he'll be demoted. "General Nikolas is here." A guard informed. Nikolas walked in, he looked at the number of dead bodies on the floor and was stunned. He is surprised to see them all alive but then again, this house belongs to a mafia, although he doesn't have any evidence to prove this. "Good morning señor." Santiago greeted. Nikolas greeted back, he was shocked to
Ruth just stood in front of her boss who was staring right back at her with sadness in her eyes, she just resigned from her job but her boss is not willing to let her go. “Please Miss Davidson what can we do to make you stay? Should we increase your salary?“ Her boss asked feeling perplexed by her decision to quit. “No I don't want that ma'am, I am relocating to a new town and that's why I have to quit, I'm sorry I didn't inform you beforehand.“ She apologized. “It's fine, it seems like your mind is already made up, and there is nothing we can do. Pass by HR to collect your final payment, I will add a little bonus for you.“ Her boss said, they shook hands and she left the office. She passed by HR and collected the heavy envelope prepared by her boss, she bid everyone goodbye and left the company. Ruth Davison is a girl who doesn't have much but neither does she have less, she is average. She has been living a boring life all by herself with no one to help her spice things up, h
Ruth watched him as he left, she rushed to the door and locked it. She rested on the back of her door with her eyes closed. “I asked for an exciting life and not a weird one, why did you bring me to a psycho?“ She asked looking at the ceiling. “It's a good day, I won't let him ruin it for me, I've gotten a job with good pay, one step at a time.“ She muttered tapping herself on the shoulders. Ruth went to her room, took a bath, and came back to the living room to make dinner for herself. She ate and went to bed. The next day, Ruth hurriedly took a bath and dressed up for work, the moment she stepped out of her bedroom, a loud gasp escaped her lips. She held her heart trying to calm it down as her heartbeat took a different pace when she saw the figure sitting on her sofa. “Good morning beautiful,” he beamed and woke up from his seat. “You look even more beautiful today.“ He took slow steps towards her. “What in the name of God are you doing in my apartment? And how did yo
“Friends with benefits? Are you crazy?“ Ruth yelled with a loud voice, “I'm not crazy, trust me you won't regret it.“ He said with a smile on his cute face, “get out of my fucking house,” she yelled but he didn't make an effort to leave. “But I made you dinner, don't tell me you are not going to eat the food I made for you.“ He said with a sad face, “I didn't ask you to cook for me, did I?“ Ruth asked, her hands still on her bathrobe, “Ouch, that hurts but sadly I don't take no for an answer so it's either you eat the food or I spend the night in your room, you choose.“ He leaned against the wall and folded his arms, pushed himself forward, and went to her closet. “What are you doing?“ She asked, “Do you plan on wearing your bathrobe for the rest of the day? I don't mind if you do.“ “I can handle myself,” she snapped, she angrily walked to her closet and picked a loose shirt and shorts. She went back to the bathroom and changed into it. “Today was a hectic day
“Are you okay Ruth? What got you all riled up?“ Robert asked, taking a step forward but pausing in his tracks when she glared at him. “you have the guts to ask me if I am okay? If you care then leave right now.“ She yelled, Robert took long strides towards her and hugged her, she tried fighting him off but he was too strong for her. “I don't want to hurt you, Ruth, I mean no harm.“ He said still holding her. “Just leave,” she said, “I made dinner and I won't leave until you've eaten something.“ He said, Robert always gets what he wants either by hook or by crook. “Not today please,” she begged, She stopped struggling and just let the warmth of his skin comfort her although he was the reason why she was angry. “Let's go to bed then,” he said like it was normal. “What?“ Ruth asked, she pushed him and took a few steps back. “What?“ He tilted his head to the side, he took slow strides toward her. Ruth didn't understand, one moment he was comforting her and th
“That's what makes it exciting,” Robert said, he gulped his drink till the last drop, Ruth stared at him wide eyes, “Are you planning on getting drunk? Who will take us back home?“ She asked, “Have fun Ruth, live life, and stop being so uptight,” Ruth decided to take his advice, she discarded the straw and gulped the entire content in her glass. “Woah, when I said you should live life, I didn't mean you should get drunk. I can hold my alcohol but I don't think you can.“ He looked at her, and she looked fine, it looked like the alcohol didn't affect her. “I want more, you are right... I came here because I want to have a fun-filled life, I'm not going to get that by sitting in my room all day,” she yelled, “Just one more, okay?“ She nodded like a child, Robert brought one more glass of the same cocktail drink for her and she gulped it. “Shit,” he muttered, he just realized that the alcohol had already taken effect but he didn't see it. “One more,” she said raisi
