Nicolas put three drops of the poison into the orange juice where no one would see him.
He took juice to Betsy who was instructing the maids on the food they should bring for a Ruben.
“Mistress” He called and she turned to him.
“Stop being an @$$hole” Betsy rolled her eyes and smiled.
Nicolas smiled and said “I brought this for you”
Betsy stared at the juice and smiled.
“That’s so sweet of you, thanks,I really need it,” Betsy smiled and collected it from him.
She gulped down the juice to the last drop.
“Love you” She smiled and gave him back the glass.
“Add more hot water to tea,” Betsy instructed.
Nicolas clenched his fist and smirked before walking away.
“Don’t put too much sugar”

Ruben was awake again, he was touching Beauty’s hair when Darian walked.
Beauty kissed Ruben’s lips and the smile on Dariana’s face wiped off.
“I love you” She muttered and he heard her.
He felt so hurt, like his heart has been broken to a million pieces.
Beauty sensed someone staring at them, she turned to Darian.
“Darian” Beauty smiled at him.
Ruben was surprised that she could call him in such a friendly way.
“How are you?” He asked her.
“I’m fine,” Beauty grinned childishly.
“How do you feel? Ruben?” Darian asked a bit coldly.
“I’m in pain, why do you want to know more?” Ruben retorted with a blank expression, that kind of expression that you can hardly decode what he’s feeling towards you.
“That’s good and I hope you die in pain” Darian said sarcastically and stormed out of the suite.
“What’s up with him?” Beauty asked confused ly.
“He’s a jerk,” Ruben smirked.
“Give me more kisses”Ruben smiled and Beauty smooched his lips with her pouty lips.
He grabbed the back of her neck and deepened the kiss.

Betsy was taking the food to Ruben’s suite when she saw Milan coming towards her.
“Where’s Beauty?”Milan asked.
“Why do you care? “Betsy eyed him.
“Answer the darn questions!”Milan yelled at her.
“She’s with Ruben, Ruben is awake” Betsy smiled.
“Darn it!” Milan yelled and pushed Betsy away.
The food fell to the floor and she almost hit the wall.
“Füçk you!” Betsy groaned.
Milan rushed to Ruben’s suite and stormed into his room.
His eyes widened when he saw them kissing.
“You are choosing him!” Milan yelled and they looked at him.
“I don’t understand you,” Beauty muttered, staring at Milan.
“I Füçking brought you here,I own you remember, you are my slave for life, that’s what you agreed to!” Milan yelled furiously.
Ruben struggled in pain and sat up.
“If you don’t leave here, I’m going to break your face” Ruben threatened.
Milan grinned and burst into laughter.
“Do you think he is any different?!” Milan yelled.
“Just shut up!” Ruben warned and clenched his fists.
“Did you know he killed Sofia, his ex fiancee, he shot her in the head and burned her body, or am I wrong?” Milan grinned, staring at Ruben.
“What?” Beauty gasped and faced Ruben in shock.
“Lie to her that you didn’t kill her, he’s going to do the same to you, he’s going to kill you after using you” Milan laughed.
Ruben suddenly sprang up and rushed Milan, the first punch landed Milan on the floor.
Ruben didn’t care, about the pain he was feeling he overpowered him and kept punching Milan over and over in the face, it was getting bloody
“Ruby, stop” Beauty yelled and rushed to hold him
“Please stop it” Beauty shrieked and was able to wrap her hands around him.
Ruben battered his face with punches.
“Please” Beauty cried and he left Milan who was already unconscious.
He kicked him again in the stomach.
“Enough please” Beauty cried.
Ruben suddenly jerked her hands away from him and covered his face, he walked to the bed and sat down on the floor.
Beauty glanced at Milan walked to Ruben’s side, she knelt down in front of him
“Ruby, what was he saying?” Beauty asked, remembering Sofia’s picture and the signature on it.
“Ruben” Beauty called and pulled his palms away from his face, his face filled with tears.
“Did you really kill Sofia?” Beauty asked fearfully.
Tears kept trickling from his eyes.
“Did you kill her,?” Beauty yelled.
“Yes!” Ruben yelled back.
“What!”
Beauty’s hands dropped from his palm and she moved away from him.
