Chapter 6

Author: Sugar Drop
Honestly, I wasn't scared of Ryan losing his temper.

What scared me was if he didn't care at all.

The hopeless version of me in the book only realized one thing right before dying: Every bit of my happiness and every piece of my so-called glamorous life came from Ryan. Without him, I was nothing but that little orphan girl begging for scraps.

And what had I done? I had tossed it aside and ran toward Melvin like a moth to fire. No wonder my life crashed and burned.

But now that I had realized my mistake, I was determined to make the right choice.

"Tie me up," I whispered. "Keep me here, right by your side. When you eat, I'll eat. When you sleep, I'll sleep. We'll never leave each other, okay?"

I stood on my tiptoes, sliding my bound hands around the back of his neck before brushing my lips against the faint stubble on his jaw.

He was so tall—I couldn't reach his lips unless he bent down. Which was a shame, because Ryan's lips… they were soft and warm, almost addictive. Once you k

    I replied, "But I checked all the messages that day. Ryan never called you. Is it possible that the drink Ryan had had the same hallucinogenic effect as this powder?"I tilted my head, eyes locked on Vanessa. "Honestly, I'm super curious. How did you manage to get your hands on so much banned stuff without anyone noticing? Who are you, really? It's fascinating."I didn't call her out about the system. Not yet.The first time she drugged Ryan, it was to sleep with him. The second time, it was to drive a wedge between us. I had to admit, those were good plans.Vanessa's face flickered as her calmness slowly slipped away, but it lasted barely a second. She smoothed her expression and said coolly, "Don't be ridiculous. Who could even get banned substances? If you really think that, why not just call the cops?"She grabbed her bag, stood up, and let out a cold laugh. "I came here as a courtesy, but you're accusing me of absurd things. Instead of throwing dirt at me, maybe you should as

    I didn't stick around. I dropped the flash drive on the table and turned to leave."Wait."Melvin's voice stopped me. I looked back and saw that smug grin of his—the one he probably thought could charm any girl alive. He tilted his head, all sly, and said, "If you're willing to dump Ryan and cut ties with him for good, maybe I'll date you."Typical Melvin. Even now, he still thought he had a chance to keep me dangling.Two days ago, I probably would've said yes without even thinking.But right then, all I saw was a disgusting pile of trash."No, thanks." I pushed down my disgust, gave a small, polite smile, and said, "You're out of my league."Then I walked out, leaving him staring after me in shock.-The air was crisp, the sky clear.I met Vanessa at a café. By the time my Americano was almost gone, she finally showed up."What did you wanna talk about?" she asked, straight to the point.She didn't like me. I didn't like her either. It was hard to be calm around someone w

    I continued, "The story was supposed to end with you meeting the girl you were destined for, while everyone hated me and I died a tragic death."But I don't want to be ruled by fate. That's not the real me. I don't love Melvin. I don't want to do things that go against my heart. And the last thing I ever want… is to see you fall for somebody else."All I wanted was to stay with Ryan forever and live a quiet, simple life together.A tear slipped down my cheek and fell onto the back of his hand.I was crying, looking all messy and raw.His long fingers brushed the corner of my eye. I didn't even notice when he'd loosened the rope around me, but once it was off, I grabbed his sleeve and pulled myself closer, inch by inch.Then I pressed my lips against his.This time, Ryan didn't hold back. He leaned in, taking the kiss deeper. There was a mattress on the floor, wide enough for the both of us, and he pushed me down on it. His hands slid under my shirt, finding my waist, the spot th

    "Sheila, I'm done pretending to be the good guy. I just want to keep you with me. Call me a creep, call me a criminal, I don't care."Something in me must've lit the fire, because Ryan wasn't hiding anymore. His gaze was burning when he looked at me, as if he wanted to swallow me whole."You'll stay here. I'll feed you when you're hungry and carry you when you need the bathroom."When you sleep, I'll be right next to you. All you gotta do is be good and listen." His hand brushed across my face, his dark eyes holding a perfect reflection of me inside them."I've figured things out already. Please, let me go." I tilted my face up, giving him my best pitiful look.That trick always worked on him."No." His eyes flickered as he wavered, but his voice stayed firm.Of course, I knew how hard it was for him."Melvin's not a good guy. Even if it makes you hate me, I can't stand by and watch him trick you." Ryan's face was pale as he said it.I used to hate when he talked trash about

    I pulled myself out of old memories and poured Ryan a glass of orange juice before sliding it across the table to him. I'd tasted it earlier—it was sweet enough to cover the bitterness of the drug."She came by for work," Ryan said after a sip. "That's all it was. Why? You worried about her?"He didn't notice anything strange. Or maybe he just never doubted anything I gave him."I don't know," I said, pretending to joke. "I think she kinda has a thing for you. Maybe you two are the real main couple of this world. Maybe one day, you two will fall in love, and I'll just fade away."Ryan frowned, his expression tight. "Was that why you were showing off in front of her? Marking your territory?" He lifted the glass again, almost finishing it. The more he drank, the faster the drug would work.He tugged open the top button of his shirt, his pale skin showing. He pressed his hand against his temple as drowsiness started creeping in."Do you think you'll fall for her?" I asked."What…"

    I pushed down the twist in my chest, forced a smile, and said to Ryan, "You should've told me you've got company. I won't interrupt your work talk. I'll just head to my room."I slid the roast chicken into the fridge, pretending not to notice the eyes burning into my back, and shut the door behind me.A few minutes later, there was a soft knock. Ryan's voice came through. "It's me. Open the door."I sat at my desk while spinning my pen, not moving."Don't be such a baby," he said, a sigh caught in his voice. It was as if he could see through the door."Alright, then. I'll go," he added.He was leaving? My heart skipped. I jumped up and opened the door, only to find him still standing there, smiling. He had never moved.I gave him my sweetest grin and opened my arms. "I want a hug."He didn't hesitate. His arms went around me instantly.I leapt and wrapped my legs around his waist, clinging to him. Worried I'd fall, he panicked for a second, his hands moving quickly to hold me
