Sold To Mr President

“Nothing, Mr. Ethan, the only way to do this thing is to do give the lady a surgery on her legs, nothing else,” the doctor said calmly.

Ethan’s jaws dropped lightly, well, he had not expected this thing to happen, hell no! he had not. But then, glaring at the man at the other side of the desk, he had the last question to ask right now.

“How much do you think the surgery will cost?” he inquired raising his brows lightly at the young man.

“Three million five hundred thousand francs. This is because it is going to be a major operation, and the legs are linked to the lady’s lower spine in which if case is not taken, she might never walk in her entire life,” he shot out.

Ethan instantly dug his fingernails in his palms, it was an awkward feeling and he knew he was the cause, but then, judging himself in this manner will really be terrible__ especially not in front of the doctor. To him, keeping his expression light was the best thing that could save him from guilt, and the fact that the man might see him just yet, it might be as terrible as he had thought it to be.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“That is too much,” he blurted out.

Ethan’s expression was an engraved one, he barely thought of this kind of a situation when he was beating Ruby, had he knownz he would never had punished her to that extend, but what did he expect? his anger was too much, more than he can evern think about it. Right now, as he kept his eyes put on the doctor’s own, he knew clearly well that giving out such an amount of money like three million five hundred thousand francs will just be too much, and she knows about It, but in this situation, what can he possibly do?

“What the hell, doctor, that money is too much considering the fact that I do not even know her, spending such an amountt of money will possibly be ripping me off of the amount of money I have succeeded in making in my entire life huh!” Ethan spat out.

Indeed, he was damn serious about what he said, but then, that was the plain truth, even though he lied on his budget part. The truth is that the young man has the money to pay but he sees it as a clear wastage of money it is on Ruby. Like seriously, it will he ripping him off some part of his savings which he is not ready to give out to anyone, at least, not yet.

For a moment, he thought that the doctor will quickly jump into the conclusion that he should not pay the money and stuff like that, but hell no! that will truly be something that he has to work extremely hard to earn, and even to that extend, he doesn’t want to lose.

“Then, Mr. Ethan, I am sorry to tell you that we wouldn’t move on with the operation, and that will mean that the lady can be discharged as well. If you do not think that you can house her as well, since she is a stranger to you, we have a social welfare service that will support her, especially If she is willing to explain to them what had tryly happened to her before she was in that awkward state,” the doctor blurted out gently.

It was an easy way to say these things, he as well meant every word of what he said, and the look in his eyes meant everything to him, it seriously does.

Ethan, wouldn’t want anybody to ask Ruby any sort of question, in fact, bringing the man there happened to be a very silly idea of his, he truly wouldn’t make anyone accept that they can do some sort of interview on the lady__ not when he knows that he is guilty before anything needs to start functioning badly.

In the ward, Ruby’s body ached her so much, for a moment, she felt like she had messed up her life so much that she can’t understand what the hell is going on. She focused her attention on the blank ceiling over her face and that was quite strange, in fact, she could barely think of what is going on, but then, what can she do right now? nothing, absolutely nothing at all.

She tried moving her legs, but they felt like it was planted on the bed. Moving it was a tough target and reaching that point was so difficult, more than what he can even do about it. Taking a gentle breathe down her lungs, she felt the hot stream of tears flow through her eyes. Ruby cried not only because of the pain she felt on her leg, but then, the life of misery she led in her life, one that was filled with emotioness, and the worst of it being that she can’t even do anything about it.

The door slide open and a young nurse walked into it dress in a white straight gown that arrived at her knees. it was clean and she had a nice cap on her head as well. Truly, she liked these things and there is nothing that could help or motivate her touch that dream of hers. Yawning, Ruby watched how the nifse approached her.

“Good evening, Ms.” the nurse greeted.

Nodding her head, she responded quickly but in a light manner.

“Evening nurse,” she said lightly.

“Cathy, you can call me nurse Cathy,” the nurse muttered out.

It was the easiest and coolest thing to do right now, but then, what can she even do? nothing, absolutely nothing at all.

“Alright, I am here to place the secong drip on your hand, and to switch on the TV to keep you entertained,” Cathy spat out.

She was aware of Ruby’s health status, everyone knew about it, but then what can she really do apart from not talking about it, and making her feel more comfortable, as much as she can. It was kind of light, Ruby liked the way she was sounding cool, the only fear in her heart right now is trusting the nurse. There are many times in the past that she had tried on telling everyone that Ethan is a monster, to yell out to them about how he is maltreatin her. Like seriously, he wants to make things work better, and if Ethan even finds out, he will make things worse for her.

Ruby’s mind was brought back to reality when she noticed the charming words of a man curl her ears. Following the sound of the voice, Ruby slightly lifted her head to glare at the screen as she paired the voice with the handsome man in the TV. For a whole minute, she could not shake, neither did she move, her eyes kept on piercing the screen as the man’s handsomeness was striking.

“Alright, I am done now, Ms. If you do not mind, I will be on the front desk trying to be on the look. And I see that you have gotten a likeness for the man on the screen. Haha! that is Xavier Barley, he is running up for the president’s post in Doula. He is cute right? and he has quite a good brain that works effectively as well,” she shot out light.

Saying this, she carried the steel tray she had brought that was filled with some liquid drugs which she did add to the bag of liquid on the pole where Ruby’s drip bag was attached to it, and the pleasure was all hers. Before Ruby could mutter a word, the young lady dashed out of the room laughing heartily. What she clearly didn’t know about was the fact that she got confused on what was funny. Sighing, she finally twirled her head towards the left side as she pierced her eyes with the man’s own. The joy from it was extravagant, more like what she had expected. Blinking severally, she kept her eyes focused on the man on the screen. His name was written boldly at the bottom on the screen__ Xavier Barley__ and Ruby knew she could swear that she had heard that name somewhere, and the fact that she couldn’t clear it outof her mind became the most dangerous thing in her life. But then, even if that is the case, what can she do about it? nothing.

Xavier stood on the well-built stand, he was dressed in a white shirt, and a black suit on it. Above that, he had a red Knotted tie on his neck which fitted it so well. The man was very comfortable, and wore a light smile on his face.

The manner in which Ruby’s mind were glued on his was a clear prove that she was drooling over him, maybe a swift moment of lust, but then, even if that is the case, she can barely help it at all.

To say that Xavier is handsome would he an understatement, he is cute, dark short hair had cut across his nape, fine eyebrows__bushy, yet perfect. Oh! and then his eyes, was a pretty shade of green, a straight Belgian nose with flared nostrils. Xavier was just as perfect as the sound of the word goes, and his lips were just to kill. Each time he didn’t use them to form a word would just he a thin line across the border, and to say that he doesn’t know what he is saying would be an understatement.

The young man was fluent in his speech, he was a good orator, and understood the importance of what he said and how it would help the entire society, especially if it has to benefit them.

At the upper right section of the screen, it had a bold writing that says, “LIVE” and thus, it gave the young lady an awkward sense of fulfilment. She had just being drown in the man’s physique that when he paused to catch his breathe, she had to blink severally, and theen, the words she had not expected to come was now fast approaching and her attentionon was drawn towards it Immediately.

“MAFIA’S VIOLENCE IN DOUALA,” Xavier had said in his speech.

Ruby’s head turned almost immediately, and as she glared at the man, all that interested her was the fact that the man was at least addressing that issue. She is not a fan of politics, but it has to deal with this, then she will gladly listen to it, especially as she is a victim of such violence. Ethan is a mafia, he has caused more harm than good, and the fact that he holds a gun, terrifies the hell out of Ruby, but then, what can she do? nothing, absolutely nothing at all, especially when he has her life in his palms, that is awkward, the strangest thing that can ever even happened in her life, and thinking about it just made her roll her eyes in anticipation.

Xavier had suddenly caught her full attention with that topic, and if in case he wants to be inaugurated, then, he has to find a way to sort matters out, and the earlier he does that, the better it will be for him, and that is it.

Heaving a gentle sigh, Ruby didn’t want any form of distraction as she listened to what Xavier has to say. Even though there was doubt in her heart over the fact that the man might support the mafia’s or more, stand against them, made her to roll her eyes in annoyance. That was strange, in fact, her heartbeat accelerated for a brief moment, but then, she needs to calm down her blood pressure if not, it night not end up well for her, and ahe dreads the hell out of that, and that is true as well.

Pouting, she waited patiently, to check out on things and if they are actually going to work towards her light.
