The flashes from the cameras were blinding. They popped like tiny bursts of lightning, one after the other, each more jarring than the last.

All around me, voices were firing questions like bullets. Reporters stood shoulder to shoulder and they were pressing in, microphones extended like weapons.

I couldn’t move. I couldn’t speak. I could only remain frozen, caught in the storm.

"Miss, do you have anything to say about Mr. Davidson’s actions?" one of them asked, his voice too loud and too sharp.

Before I could even process it, another one stepped forward, shoving his mic inches from my mouth.

"What kind of man do you believe Mr. Davidson really is?"

My throat tightened. My hands trembled by my sides. I blinked rapidly, trying to find something, anything, to latch onto. But my mind had gone blank, wiped clean by the pressure, by the eyes, by the noise.

I could hear myself breathing, shallow and erratic.

Then, somehow, through the chaos, I managed to speak. "I..

  • Losing Ryker: The Billionaire's Second Chance    Chapter 62

    ZerahOn my way back to the office, I strode forward, uncaring of whatever anyone else said. If anyone else dared to approach me, I wouldn't take it lightly.Passing through the lone hallway, a faint sound rang through, coming from a small corner in the hall. From the sounds alone it had to be the news. Shutting my eyes, I tried to ignore-“The new statement from James Robinson has changed everything—”I froze in place, ice drilling through me as the words echoed through. Had I caught that right?James Robinson?The steaming mug of coffee in my hand weighed on my wrist but I couldn't bother. Not after hearing that name. Elena's words…her tears, echoed in mind.What the hell did James Robinson have to do with Ryker's mess?Turning towards the source I found the person immediately. The news was coming from a phone with the woman behind it standing against a corner alone. I moved closer to her, gaining her attention. She didn't look surprised, even shifting slightly to let me watch. it

    ZerahAfter what felt like an eternity later, I had returned to home base. Geronimo cooperation. In this place, with the small number of people working there, it was easier.They were equally tense from the news, but knew nothing of what had transpired at headquarters. Unlike the scathing words I'd received, here was more familiar, more welcoming.And with all things aside I was willing to take any sliver of peace I could find.I sat behind my desk, the blue light from my computer casted a sharp glow on my face. My eyes were glued to the screen, trying to write up the layers of reports missed over the past few days. At least, doing this would give me a sliver of an achievement, proving that I wasn't crumbling.And yet that woman's words still flooded my mind. My jaw clenched as it echoed again, halting my typing. I shouldn't care. I doubted she could even survive half of the things I've had to endure. The fact that it lingered on and replayed in my head bothered me. I shifted uncomf

    Zerah The words echoed like a slap across my face. My entire body stilled. My breath caught in my throat as I turned, slow and measured, jaw tightening, my heart thudding somewhere between fury and disbelief , already knowing whoever said it was looking for a reaction. The voice belonged to a redhead with her hair twisted tightly into a bun so severe it looked like it might snap her face clean back. She stood with her arms crossed, a smug little smirk pulling at her lips like she'd just asked the most innocent question in the world. Her eyes was sparkling, not with curiosity, but with cruelty. "Excuse me?" I said, eyebrows lifting, giving her one chance to take it back, to tell me I misheard, blinking as if I needed to clear the absurdity from the air. But no. She doubled down, repeating it louder this time, as if she was proud of her ignorance. "You heard me, I said, are you screwing Nathan Hart?" I blinked, stunned. My fists curled at my sides, nails digging into my palm

    Zerah The car sped down the highway, smooth and fast, the cityscape flying past the tinted windows. I sat stiffly in the back seat, my arms folded tightly over my chest. I could still hear the echo of the news anchor’s voice in my ears. Every second of it felt like a strange blend of disbelief. I hadn’t even done what I came to the school to do. The moment I saw the video, I just had to leave. It was like all the strength I had mustered up just collapsed the second I saw the scandal that Ryker had caused. “Shit,” I cursed out loud as a dull ache filled my head. I rubbed my temple, the pressure building in my skull. I shouldn't care. Should be angry "Ma’am, everything alright back there?" the driver asked, catching my distressed look in the rearview mirror. "Yes," I said, too quickly. My voice was tight, clipped. "Just keep driving." He nodded and turned the radio up a little, filling the silence with soft jazz. I leaned my head back, eyes fluttering shut for a moment, but rest

    ZerahI woke up earlier than usual, my body dragging itself out of bed before my alarm could even go off. My eyes burned slightly, probably from the lack of sleep. The conversation with Teresa last night had replayed in my mind like a broken record. The idea that my son was being bullied haunted me.The weight in my chest wouldn’t go away. I had to go to the school. I had to sort this out myself. No more brushing it under the rug, no more pretending everything was fine just because we were living in a house with marble floors.Everything in my life felt like a storm I couldn’t outrun. Every time I thought I could catch my breath, something came crashing in. First Ryker. Then this. And now? Now I was just tired.I pulled on a simple black blouse and jeans, something that looked presentable enough for a parent-teacher conversation. IThe silence of the house pressed against my ears as I walked the hallway until I reached their room. Cracking the door open, I peeked in. They were stil
