Innocent Fire.

"Ruth had bullied the poor girl to pump and locked her up in there with no mercy". One of Jakes' men had informed him as he stepped out of the car. He doesn't know her but knew she could be related to the guy Ruth kept complaining about the night before. He opened the door of the chamber to find a naked girl lying at the top of the table with leg widely spread and her hand swung in the air. She looked lifeless but as he moved closer to her body , he saw the faint rising and falling of her belly .

He closed the door even though he knew better not to since no one would dare come in with out permission except Ruth. Plus only them had the code to the door. A faint smile played on his face as he thought of Ruth . The Ruthless Ruth who always never stop to amaze him with her wild-cat lifestyle He had happily come to see her . She was quick to act with out thinking which only lead to destructive ends. He enjoys her company least it was better than sitting in his boring office waiting for work time to pass . Gun Ruth butler, has informed him upon arriving about the girl Ruth had taken in and held hostage with that at least he knew his evening would go well with amazing series of events that would play right in front of him. He didn't care to ask who the girl was but seeing her on the wild table he wished he asked. He walked slowly to the weak body that lay like a lifeless one . He could not think of anything as he walked like one in a trance. Her red hair looked messing, part of it on the table while the other on her skin and glowed with the light of the fire. He knew Ruth had no intention of killing her else she 'd let her die in the cold . Maybe she still has human sympathy. He saw the bruises on her slender long legs and his heart hurt . He did not believe he was feeling bad for a mere girl he barely knew but her beauty was captivating. His eyes did not miss anything. Not the marks of slaps she had received planted on her chin, her bruised lip, the after math of tears on her eyes , the pet nose nor the lush full lips that screamed 'kiss me' . He blessed the fact that his brutal father never missed any opportunities he had to teach him to observe. Now he could not even miss any detail.

He bent to smell her hair and the scent of rose filled his nostrils. When his eyes set on her chest his phone buzzed making him to jeck out of the trance he was in . He took his phone ready to tell whoever it was to fuck off but it was Matteo. " Your bro back. Your dad want to celebrate ....."

Jake ended the call as soon as he heard the regular word that has become his family anthem, " Celebrate". He hissed at the word . even at some ones predicament they 'd celebrate don't the old man have any better thing to do . Even his brothers name irritates him . His father never ceased to show more love to Jack just to persuade him to get into business with him which he would never do. Or maybe he just chooses to love his first son and forget he needs fatherly love too. He angrily walked out of the torture chamber to the bar to get a drink before going to his room to lay on the bed . The image of the girl in the chamber filled his head . He couldn't think of anything else except her . He thought of going back to the torture room but as he stood up he stopped . He shut his eyes and breath in slowly before letting it out . ' What the hell am I going to do there ?'. He asked him self loud enough to his own hearing before bursting into a thunderous laughter. Yeah it was a rhetorical question. He knew what would or might happen . She was a almost naked girl and a pretty one . What was he thinking. What would Ruth even think. She would go gaga, if the word describes how she would react .

He went back to the bed side to sit . Everything that happened the past month flood his mind like a movie. Every one thinks he was doing something with his female friend Ruth. Even his dad . At least that sent a message to him that his dad who acted like an almighty god who knows everything and everyone isn't a god after all. He walked to his cabinet and took the first drink his hand touched . His heart flustered as he poured it in his mouth. His mother would have known him and accepted him as he is . She would had given her whole heart to both him and his brother and not choose to love one and dispose the other. As he looked at Ruth pictures with her dad he envies her. If only Bones knew Ruth was just like a sister who showered him the love no else could . He hit his head hard on the wall and sat quietly on the cold floor. He could watch the city up from the room.

Why can't she just be there for him like before . Why can't she see he is not interested in her . Why does she have to think he loves her . Why can't he open up to her and tell her the truth.

The questions were torments to him . He enjoys her company. He likes her . He cares for her but he can't love her . Her parents has already seal a very big deal with his father and if he doesn't act smoothly the ship would sink. Even if he tries to fake it , it won't work he can't be romantically into Ruth like he can with his other lovers.
