Page 64 of His Ruthless Obsession

My heart breaks at the sound of her voice cracking. I know she must be holding back tears. The fear in her voice is palpable. I hope no one is in the same room as her, threatening her while she talks to me.

“It’s going to be okay, mom.”

I know at this point my words are kind of meaningless, but there isn’t anything else I could do other than break her out of that manor myself. All I can do is let her know that I’m here.

My mother doesn’t say anything back to me, just remains silent on the other line. I can tell that she’s there, listening to the sound of her daughter breathing on the other end of the phone desperately. It’s the same for me, that desperation.

I want to go over there and take her away from that place. Send her somewhere where she can’t be abused by my psychopathic father any longer.

I pace around the room again.

“Are you at the manor?”

“...Yes.”

“Okay,” I straighten my shoulders and try to steady myself. “I’ll be there soon. Don’t worry. I love—”

The line goes dead.

Dread pools in my stomach. I need to go see her, even if it’s to simply check up on her.

I shove Ava’s phone in my pocket, knowing that I’ll most likely need it later, and head over to the front door where I find a pair of her shoes. I shove them on my feet, zipping up the sides of them when I hear a voice interrupt me.

“And where exactly do you think you’re going?”

I freeze with my hand on the door.

“It seems to me,” Ava heads down the last few steps. “That you plan on going out somewhere.”

I turn around, seeing her blonde hair laying wet on her shoulders and her face a rosy color from the hot water.

“I need to see my mom.”

She raises a brow at me. “You know I’m not going to let you do that, right?”

I can’t help it. I burst into tears.

All the stress and fear from this nightmare is finally coming to a boil, and I can’t help but break down over it. I’m so sick of all of this. I just want my life to go back to normal.

“Ava,please. Please. I need to see her. I need to make sure that she’s okay.”

She blinks at me in surprise, clearly not prepared for me to cry at her. But this is important, and I don’t care how ridiculous I look right now. I need to work her into letting me out that door, to my family’s manor.

She sighs at me. “You’re seriously going to use the waterworks on me?”

“Please,” I sob. “I’m literally begging you. My father is never home during the day it will just be her and the staff. I’ll be safe I promise.”

She runs a hand over her face in exasperation.

“You know Killian is going to kill both of us, right?”

I suck in a breath. “I don’t care.”

“Yeah,” she mumbles. “I knowyoudon’t…”

“Ava, please. I will never ask for anything else ever again.”

She rolls her eyes at me, pushing me away from the door to grab a set of keys hanging there.
