Ruby stumbled, barely catching herself on the table before falling. Pain shot through her scalp.
"I'll…I'll come back…" She said in a shaky voice as she tried to get up, "I'll come back tomorrow—"
"Tomorrow?" He cut in and grabbed her arm, pulling her up, "After what you did to me in front of that delegation, you think you get to decide now?" he jerked her back.
Ruby didn't want to look at his face, which was twisted with anger. She decided to stay quiet. She was sure that downstairs, her parents were aware of what he was doing to her.
"You've gotten way too comfortable, Ruby," He sneered, "You're coming with me— right now!"
Ruby clenched her teeth. She was sure there was a wound on her forehead that was throbbing with unbearable pain.
"That was— not intentional. Sia had a hand—"
"Shut up!" He roared, not caring that her parents could hear him. Without warning, his hand shot back into her hair. She gasped as he yanked her towards the stairs.
