Beyond The Contract Chapter Sixteen
"What did I tell you about following orders?""I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I won't do it again", the little girl replied with fear in her voice."Of course you won't", the man said removing his belt."Please. Please. I'm begging you. I promise I won't do it again"."After this, I'm sure you won't".The man raised his hand."Please!!!", the little girl screamed.Isabella woke up with a scream, sweating and panting.Her mother rushed into the room, "Mija, are you okay?"Camilla went to her side, pulling her close, "It's okay. It was just a nightmare".Isabella sobbed into her mother's chest, "It felt so real Mamá"."It's okay, you are fine now. Don't worry. No one will ever get you".The next morning, Isabella went out for a run. It was one of the things that cleared her head.They say you can't escape your past. She had been living in denial. Maybe if she forgets about it, it eventually goes away. So far that has worked for her.The nightmares had always haunted her but this past few

"What?", Crystal said to herself while staring at her phone."Crystal we need to go", Ryke told her, pulling her by the hand."It can't be real. My mum loved my Dad, she would never"."I'm sure she wouldn't. But for now, we need to get you back home. The press will be hot everywhere looking for you to hear your comment. So it's better you are as far away from it as possible"."Look at me". Crystal raised her head from her phone to look at him."I'm going to handle it okay? Do you trust me?"Crystal stared into his eyes. This was a man that had forced her into marriage, taken away her choice to attend her dream school with her best friend, touched her the way no one had ever touched her and most of all, he made her want to pull at her hair and scream.Did she trust him?"Yes".She saw the look of surprise cross his face quickly before he nodded."Okay, let's go".They said a quick goodbye to the Morgans.Jacob assured her that everything would be fine with a pat on her back as Ryke led
Beyond The Contract Chapter Eighteen
Crystal had read a lot of books, hundreds of books, if not thousands. But none of them had prepared her for that moment. When she had brushed her lips against his to stop him from having a panic attack, all she felt was a light rush but this was different. His tongue brushed against hers seeking access. She parted her lips slightly and when he deepened the kiss, her whole world exploded. She had kissed boys before like during dances and stupid party games like seven minutes in heaven but this was different. He wrapped his hands around her waist holding her and she was so grateful because her legs felt like jelly. He tasted the way he smelt, like the combination of sin and dark chocolates, if sin had a taste. After a few minutes he pulled away. They both panted staring at each other. Just then Crystal saw the cameras. She was about to push him away when he brushed a strand of her hair from her face and placed a light peck on her forehead. "Play the part". Of course, that's al
Beyond The Contract Chapter Nineteen
Crystal stepped onto the bustling college campus, her heart pounding. With her making headlines recently, the personal details of her life splashed across the news for everyone to see, she couldn't help it. Every step she took, it felt as if everyone's eyes were on her. A feeling she should be used to by now. She made her way through the field, hoping it was all just in her head and no one was actually staring. "Crystal!!", someone called her name from across the field. Chloe came rushing up to her. "Hey", she panted, "Sorry. I saw you and I had to run fast". After a few minutes, she finally caught her breath and then as Crystal expected, the words came flowing. "Crystal! Oh my gosh, what's going on? I've been dying to talk to you!" Chloe exclaimed, grabbing Crystal's arm and steering her towards a quieter corner of the campus. Crystal took a deep breath and offered a small smile. "Hey Chloe. Yeah, I know it's been all over the news. It's been a crazy few weeks, to say the lea

Ryke paced back and forth, his anxiety levels skyrocketing with each passing minute. Where the hell was she? Unlike before when she was declining his calls, now the calls were going directly to voicemail. He stared at his phone on the coffee table awaiting Christian's call. He couldn't risk going to the police, that would draw plenty of attention and the news would leak making another Greendale headline. He had had enough to last him a year these past few days. Swallowing his pride, he finally picked up his phone and dialed a number. Logan picked up on the first ring. "Ryke". "Logan" There was a pause. "You called me. So why don't you get off your high horse and tell me what you want". "Is she with you?" "Is who with me?" "Don't play dumb with me Logan. Where is Crystal? She didn't come home last night". Logan stopped typing on his computer, "What do you mean she didn't come home? Where is she?" Ryke glared at his phone, "I didn't call you so you could ask me questions
Beyond The Contract Chapter Twenty One
~Hours earlier~The morning sunlight bath the college campus with a soft glow. Ryke watched through the window of his car. Different cliques hung around just laughing. The field was occupied by a number of students bristling around to get started on their daily activities."Alex is in the gym", Christian told Ryke."Okay", Ryke nodded."Well if we want to talk to him, we are going to have to get out of this car"."Okay", Ryke nodded again."Ryke, are you listening to me?", Christian asked agitated."Yes. Let's go".They made their way through the field, some students hurried to their classes while some stopped to stare.It was either one of two things, they knew who he was or they were trying to understand why two men in suits were heading into their campus.Ryke tried to keep the worry out of his mind. She was just being a teenager like Christian had said.That would have been so much easier to believe if her phone wasn't found with a broken screen."Is the girl with your nephew?"

"What do you mean by who am I? If this is your way of showing that you finally developed a sense of humor then now is not the best time". Ryke blinked, "I'm really sorry but I really don't know who you are". Christian's smile faded as Ryke's words sank in. He could see the confusion and genuine lack of recognition in Ryke's eyes. Concern knitted his brow, and he leaned in closer, his voice laced with worry. "Ryke, this isn't a joke. It's me, Christian. We've been friends for years. Don't you remember?" Ryke's gaze remained distant. His brows furrowed as he tried to piece the fragments together. "You really don't remember", Christian said, letting it sink in. "Christian, I was just coming to find you. Can I talk to you for a minute?", Doctor Collins said from the door. Christian took one more look at Ryke before nodding. The two men walked outside, closing the door behind them. "He doesn't remember who he is". The Doctor nodded understandingly as if to pacify him, "Don't worry.
Beyond The Contract Chapter Twenty Three
Crystal gripped her phone tightly. She had been too little to understand but she heard the police tell Logan that their father had been going a little over the speed limit, then he took a sharp turn, unable to control the car with the road being so slippery from the rain earlier in the day, he had driven them right off the bridge.She looked down at her broken screen. The file contained a police report stating that the accident had been as a result of cut brakes.It wasn't possible.Someone obviously wanted to play a trick on her.Her parents were the kindest people she knew.Why would someone want to have them killed?"Crystal".She yelped, her phone falling to the ground in the process.She quickly picked it up, turning off the screen before turning to look at the person that called her name."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you", Kimberly smiled nervously at her.Crystal frowned at her."Look I know you are mad at me. I should have listened to you when you said you saw Ryke. I'm
