MasukHello All. It is Rose D'Arc. I know that all of you are displeased and frustrated with the lack of updates, but I wanted to assure you that this story has never been abandoned and would not remain incomplete. Unfortunately I also have an announcement to make regarding why there have been no updates. After reading through my previous chapters I realised that the writing quality and several of the story lines, characters and everything else were rushed and sometimes confusing with multiple errors. Because of that, I wanted to take the time to re-edit and rewrite the previous chapters before moving forward. I know and I am sorry for the inconvenience. I'm aware that Updates are important but before that I want to ensure that I give you readers what you deserve, a good cohesive story. This means that soon some chapters may appear differently. Rest assured that it won't change the story, but only when I successfully do this can I move forward. I'll be grateful for your support during
ZerahFrom the moment I reached the office, I knew.The whole place was buzzing like someone had kicked a beehive. Most of the staff had phones glued to their faces and their mouths were hanging open, their fingers frozen mid-air like they forgot how to type. Some people even had their hands over their mouths like they’d just watched a horror movie. I, on the other hand, remained calm in the face of this. Not because it didn’t matter, but because I had already gone through every possible emotion days ago.The shock, anger and anxiety? That ship had sailed, now… all that was left was silence on my end.A twisted kind of silence, considering that I was the main hidden catalyst for all of this. I didn't stop moving, greeting past my other coworkers, some of whom were too absent minded to greet back. Nathan's door remained closed silent.Was he in the office? I had no idea.There were no sounds of movements, so I suspected the negative. I wasn't surprised. With the plethora of family ma
RykerThe reaction from the crowd was immediate. Taking a step back from the podium, I looked at all of them carefully, marking the murmurs that filled the room and the flashing lights.And then, I bowed.Murmurs arose instantly, drifting into the same uproar from before and the snaps from cameras free near frantic. I didn't mind it.I felt no shame at this moment. Not at this. This part was simply my own penance to pay. A penance that was due for the past few days.No matter how far it spiralled, it had begun with my reckless actions. First in the meeting room, then in the car, even going as far as to nearly threaten a stranger publicly. It was madness, no matter the reason why and I had to pay for it.For the sake of my family.I rose again, meeting the flashing lights that had calmed down after taking their fill and walked back to the podium.“My actions have no excuses and I won't plead for mercy on that part. I've brought shame not only to my reputation but also caused speculati
Ryker Time was ticking fast.Looking over at the files for a final time I stood up from my chair. The tension in my body felt evident as I stretched my shoulders, trying to shake off the weight of everything. The leather creaked softly as I pushed it back, the sound echoing in the quiet office.There was enough thinking. This was the time to take action and for that I had to prepare.I moved towards my personal restroom. The cool air enveloped me the moment I stepped inside, flicking in the fluorescent lights despite it being day time.In it, I could see my reflection.My gaze narrowed as I took in the sight of myself. My dark hair was perfectly in place, my suit impeccable and my posture still the perfect picture of calm. The exhaustion and worn nature was still there, subtle to my eyes but I knew that on the outside, I looked exactly the same.Inside however told a different story. I could see it in my eyes. There was no way in hell I could go out feeling like this. Not at the cha
Good day. As you can see this is not an official Chapter. I am glad to say that we have officially reached the 100TH mark in Losing Ryker: The Billionaire's Second Chance. I am glad and grateful for all of you that have been following the story so far (especially those that borne with the temporary hiatus). For the celebration of the 100th chapter I wanted to prepare something special. So for this place I will engage in a Q and A session for you all. Please feel free to ask me anything you're curious about regarding the book and the story so far. This can include the behind the scenes, characters, the inspiration or any plot points. I will explain to the best of my ability (No spoilers though, hehe) and engage with you to the fullest extent. So if there are any questions, let me know. I will keep this updated and am eager to hear your thoughts. The only question I will not answer will be regarding updates so if anyone asks “When will you update?” I will likely not answer. That as
RykerOn the screen was a news anchor speaking. I barely processed the particular station it was or whatever he was saying. The only thing that I could focus on was the footage playing on screen.I felt completely frozen yet the sight made my skin crawl. It was Robinson. Again.But this time… it was completely different.This footage, unlike the previous one, wasn't in the club. It was a familiar setting, one that matched the one I was in.This was in his office in Falloway Corporation.The vertical visuals hindered sight of everything else, as though the footage was captured in hidden view but the rest was clear. From the shot he was standing close, far to a young woman. It was clearly an employee from the tag.Her face was blurred out, but her body language screamed clear discomfort. No. Not just discomfort.Fear.The anchor's voice was gone, replaced with the static sound of the footage now in full view on the television. I watched as James Robinson raised his hand to stroke the
