Chapter 29

"First of all sign here Rue."

Zachary hands her the documents that prepared in details. She read it one by one and look at him.

"Zachary, tell me why you are doing all of this for me? I don't see that it give you much benefit." She stare at him as she was waiting his answer.

Zachary just smile to her and pet her head. "Well it was up to you. If you don't feel wanted to sign it then lets forget about it. It was not like it will bring me any loses right, Rue?"

Rue take a look at the final condition and she was bit surprise of it.

"Zachary, why do I have to change my name after I agree with this contract?" She doesn't really like the idea of changing her name at all.

"Well...I prefer your name as Ruby instead of Rue. It will help a lot as you will complete various of mission. But don't worry, you won't be harmed in those mission." He explain to her calmly.

"Also, if you fail any of those mission... you will break one of the condition in the contract. So if you fail, your sister will die. It was... that simple right, Rue? Or maybe Ruby I assume ." Zachary smirk as he explain those in details. He never involve in something that won't give any benefit to him.

Rue hesitated as she understand what Zachary real motives is. She grip the pen tightly before letting go a sigh and sign them. At that moment she know that she was making a deal with the devil, but to her it was worth it as long as her sister live better than she does.

"Done, here is the contract. I hope that my sister will recover sooner." Rue give him the contract that she have signed.

Zachary look very satisfied as he go trough the contract papers. "It was a wise choice, Rue. I will transfer your sister for therapy next week." He held out his hand to her.

"It was a great deal, Ruby."

Rue was now Ruby shake his hand and smile. "Thank you for your offer, Zachary. I won't let you down."

Zachary walk out the ward room, she grits her teeth as she clutches the bed sheet. "You will pay for this, Zachary!"

The next day, Ruby was dismissed from the hospital and went home with Zachary. She was nervous to go to his house because she was expecting his house to be a creepy old house and filled with guns.

"Why do you look so nervous, Ruby?" Zachary gently ask her as he saw Ruby looks very anxious. She just give him a weak smile.

"It was fine." She told him.

As they arrived his house, Ruby was surprised to see his house was in bright colour. It was a small cottage with a small garden on it's front yard.

"Wow! Zachary, can I go there?" She point to the garden and look at him excitedly. He just nod in agreement.

Ruby was excited to explore the garden because there's a lot of beautiful flower. She pick up a lily flower and run to get Zachary.

"Zachary look!" She show him the lily flower hoping that he will like it. He doesn't look very happy with it. But he let go a sigh before he pets her head again. He try to smile but he can't. Ruby then realized she have make a mistake.
