Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Ruth in hell.

If hell on earth existed then Ruth was living in it, her father Aaron’s last act of love was carrying her from the Mayfair house into the car. The moment they reached at a house that was in a secluded location he changed completely. It all started after Ruth asked him why he had gone to the Mayfair house.

“I told you stupid old fools to stay put but you didn’t listen to me because your brains are empty.” Ruth had glared at Aaron who stood in the simply decorated living room.

He had lowered his head while shaking it from side to side. “That man was right you need to be disciplined, growing up in a rich family had spoilt you. Look at how you are addressing us, do you know the kind of things that we have had to go through because of you? Well that ends today, if you don’t know how to be respectful then I will have to teach you.”

His words had caused Ruth to let out a disrespectful guffaw. She had never respected or loved the Gabriel’s and her plan was to ditch them and climb her way back into the Mayfair house.

Bravely, with mockery on her face, she had looked him up and down as if he was garbage.

“Discipline? Who are you to Discipline me? I am Ruth Mayfair, the heiress of the Mayfairs. Now listen to me, i am not done with those Mayfairs, I have to go back there. I cannot stay with people of you caliber! Give me back all the money I gave you to keep in case of an emergency. Hurry up, i need to leave this slum of a house and go to one of my three villas.”

“What money? That money is gone! Did you expect us to starve? We used it all, every damn penny.” Aaron had responded in a raised voice.

Ruth, filled with anger and ignorance, did what she knew best. She raised her hand and slapped Aaron across the cheek.

“How dare you touch my money?”

Elizabeth had seen their tempers flaring, what she didn’t expect was for Ruth to slap her husband again. She should have warned her daughter that her husband was a raging bull when triggered and she had done just that.

“You brainless wench, i am going to put you in your place today.” Aaron had unbuckled his belt. “You are of no use to us outside that house, those rich folks cannot take you back even if you cried blood.” He took off his belt.

Ruth took a few steps back but still laughed, calling his bluff, he wouldn’t dare touch a hair on her head.

“What do you think you are doing? Do you think that i am that stupid Phoebe that is afraid of you? I dare you to try….ouch!”

She had cried loudly in disbelief as the belt sliced through the air and landed on her shoulder. Aaron’s nostrils at the time were flared and he had a look of madness in his eyes.

“I accept the dare, I will whip your senses back into your head.” Aaron hit her again, and again, getting in three good whips. He had tried to hit her for the fourth time but the belt was caught his wife who tried to shield Ruth from the strike.

“Please honey, forgive our Ruthie.” She had pleaded before he kicked her to the side and continued to hit Ruth. As if that wasn’t enough, when he was finished he locked her in the tiny, cold and dark basement.

It was only an hour ago that Aaron had let her out under the condition that she remain in her room.

Ruth had never experienced such pain in her life. The Mayfairs had raised her as a princess and not a single hair on her head had ever been so much as pinched. But not less than an hour with Gabriels and her body had red marks, she had been locked up and starved.

Phoebe was right, they were monsters and she could not stay with them. Now, she was planning on how to escape from her mad father.

She had no one to run to for help, the only person that could come to her mind was Collin Mayfair. She checked her phone to call him but her father was wise for he had removed the sim card.

Ruth growled and threw the phone on the bed, thinking of where she could run to for help. She recalled that it was the day of Evelyn’s birthday, which gave her an idea. Every year, it was held at the same venue but the theme was changed. The Mayfairs always attended, her brothers at least always went with her.

Since Evelyn and Phoebe were friends, it was likely that they would be at the function. If she could leave this ugly house, she could go there.

“A private dinner at the Everton Hotel, that’s it. Collin will save me.” Ruth whispered, and looked at around.

The bedroom had no windows and the bathroom window was too small for her to fit through. The door was locked from outside, she had no hope of getting out unless she used Elizabeth. Whether it was soft or hard means, Ruth was determined.

She collected her thoughts and sat down on the bed with a look of disgust like it had bugs and cockroaches. Patiently, she waited for the lunch hour.

When her mother came to bring her food, Ruth did not even look at the plate.

“Mother, he is going to kill me, you have to help me. I am your daughter, are you going to watch as he ruins me? I am not useless, i have three villas, money in my accounts and Dickson Saxon wants to marry me. Think about it, aren’t the Saxons richer than the Mayfairs?

Don’t you want to be in-laws with such a great family? You can step on the Mayfairs with the power of the Saxons. Mother, please let me out of here, if you don’t i am going to kill myself.”

Ruth pleaded, cajoled and threatened, applying pressure with her words to get her help in order to escape. Elizabeth was a simple minded woman, easy to manipulate so she agreed easily. To her, the Saxons were indeed greater than the Mayfairs.

With the power of the Saxons, they could rescue Nicholas and live a wealthy life. So what if Ruth was not a Mayfair anymore, she would be a Saxon.

She gave Ruth the bank card to the account which had the hidden money and told her to withdraw it. She also took out the sim card from her phone and gave it to her daughter.

“I will leave the back door unlocked, when your father goes up stairs use that opportunity and run, don’t worry about me and just go.” Elizabeth hugged her.

Five minutes later, Aaron went upstairs to use the bathroom so Ruth did as instructed.

She run like her life depended on it until she found the road. Without wasting time she pushed aside a pregnant woman about to enter a taxi and she jumped inside.

“Drive, i will pay you three hundred dollars.” she shouted.

The taxi set off immediately and Ruth returned to the heart of Citrus city.
