Losing Ryker: The Billionaire's Second Chance Chapter 85
Zerah I faintly heard a scoff beside me before the irritating presence looming over me finally left. Kane took his place returning to the spot beside me. My jaw clenched as I looked at him, the words from before still racing in my mind. “You already know that James Robinson’s been funding some of the media.” I leaned in and spoke. Not a question, but a fact.“It's an open secret. Like I said though, I don't want anything to do with his money, so long as I can get the truth of his dealings.” he said. Ready to look away when I held him by his forearm.“What if I told you I had that kind of information?” I whispered. Immediately he tensed, freezing like a deer caught in the headlights. I released him and waited. After a brief moment Kane looked around, checking to confirm that nobody was listening, before he lowered his head, leaning in closer. “What are you getting at?” he asked, his voice lowered yet mixed with suspicion and urgency.“Can I trust you?” I asked in return.Inwardly I

Zerah“If looks could kill, that man would be a goner,” a voice said from behind me.I turned slowly. I was already annoyed and the unknown voice rife with smug arrogance irritated me further. I turned and found the man who it belonged to walking towards me and sure enough he held that look in his face.Great.I could see through his intentions clearly. It was one of THOSE kinds of people. The ones who flirted with every woman assuming that they somehow came to these events to get picked up. I didn't say anything as he came closer. He didn't look bad at all, clearly average in looks with a dressing that made him look like he belonged in this party. But none of that could faze me.“You’ve been staring at Mr. Robinson for a while now,” he said, smirking like he’d caught me in some illicit act. It only made my irritation grow. I folded my arms. “Why do you care who I’m watching?” I bit back,“I don't know. Just wondered why a beautiful lady like you would be staring at him like that. S

Zerah “There’s something I want to show you,” I said quietly. Before I could continue however, he seemed to notice something from the distance and stepped back. He turned to me with raised eyebrows. “Hold on a second,” he said, “There’s someone I need to talk to really quickly. I’ll be right back.” He turned away and walked off as though he'd found a jackpot. For a moment I stood frozen, glass in hand. My head was spinning, but there was no doubt. Was this really happening? I had met someone in less time than I expected that would help me. In a shorter time than I'd expected, I was getting somewhere. Time passed as I waited and I counted the minutes. The soft music and the laughter and chatter of the others roamed around me. more distant at the same time. Thankfully nobody came to approach me but I only felt myself grow more antsy. My legs were starting to ache from just standing in one spot, and my nerves were on edge. I shifted my weight from one foot to the other, feeling

Zerah What the hell? Like a reflex, a wave of revulsion wracked me from the inside out. What was James Robinson doing here? I blinked, hard and frantic, hoping that I'd misheard. When I looked up at the stage again however , my belly churned. He came forward with a horrid proud smile on his rotund face. The way he shook hands with the announcer and grabbed the mic like he owned the whole damn room… It was really him. A scream built up in my throat. I wished I could let it out. More than that, I wanted to walk up that stage, snatch the mic from him and reveal his nature as a hypocrite and abuser in front of everyone. But I couldn't. I had to hold on, no matter how disgusted I felt. As the woman left, he was left alone on the podium. “Good evening, everyone.” He spoke, “First off, I want to say what an honor it is to be standing here. I didn’t expect to be invited, let alone as a special guest. I mean, it is truly an honour.” He laughed into the mic, and som

ZerahSunday evening came faster than I expected.I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection as I applied a final layer of gloss on my lips. My makeup was simple but clean. I didn’t want to do too much. I wasn’t going there to steal attention. I had one goal and one goal only, to find a journalist. Someone real, someone honest enough to carry a story like Elena’s without twisting it into a circus headline.The dress I picked was sleeveless and navy. It stopped just above my knees. It wasn't flashy but it wasn't dull either. It was just enough to walk into a crowd and not feel invisible. I had taken my time in the bathroom earlier, letting the warm water run down my back, hoping it’d wash away the nerves. It didn’t.Just when I was halfway done with my makeup, Ryan and Micah had burst into the room, their little faces lighting up the way they always did.“Where are you going, mommy?” Micah had asked as he crawled onto my bed.“Can we come with you?” Ryan stood beside the

RykerAlice’s room was at the end of the hall on the second floor, the same spot it had always been. Her door would be unlocked as usual, I knew I could simply knock and she would open it.Yet, I hesitated, stopping in front of it. I didn't even know why. Perhaps it was the guilt that ate me alive that kept me stalling. Perhaps I was just tired.But if there was anything I knew, it was that I had to see her.I knocked twice. After a few seconds, her voice came through.“Come in,”Taking a deep breath and braced myself before I opened the door and stepped in. The faint scent of lilac and vanilla wafted into my senses immediately as the light revealed the place.I knew the place like the back of my hand, although not for the reasons others would believe. Sometimes, when the pain from her treatments were too much, she would plead with me to stay over until she fell asleep. I would always agree, waiting until I was sure she was at peace before returning back to my penthouse or work. It
