RYAN

“Ryan!!”

My daughter turned first, but even before I looked, I already knew who it was. Shaking my head at my terrible luck, I turned around, only to be immediately enveloped in a hug that reeked of Chanel.

“Allison,” I greeted tightly.

“Oh, how are you doing? I hope you’re feeling better than the last time.” She leaned in and whispered dramatically, “And rest assured, I haven’t told anyone about your wife.”

I clenched my jaw as I felt small fingers tighten around mine. But before I could say anything, my not-so-innocent daughter chimed in. “Hi, I’m Anayaah.”

Then she proceeded to deliberately look at Alison from head to toe which prompted the woman to stand straight under my little daughter’s scrutiny and her hands went to her hair, nervously.

I wonder where my eight year old daughter learned to have this effect on people. Sometimes, she makes me afraid.

“Hello, Anayaah.” Alison said sweetly, extending her hand for my daughter to shake.

Ana just looked at her ha

  • My Tormentor Is My Lover [Tormentor Series #2]   29. Make you fall in love

    ROSE"On your knees, Ryan.”His grey eyes widened just barely before he laughed. His deep throaty voice filled the empty café and all I wanted to do in that moment was to crawl in his lap and put my lips on top of his and kiss him, satiate the hunger inside me for my husband. His lower lip was no longer bruised, the faint purpling near his eye had faded but I could still see the shadows under his eyes and this time sitting across him, not blinded with rage, I noticed the sharpness of his jaw and the perfect fit of his shirt. He had lost weight, I realised, but still he looked unfairly beautiful, still dangerous and unreasonably devastating in that fitted shirt that stretched across broad shoulders and muscled chest like it was made for him.I remembered how those muscles felt against me in the trailer.Don’t go there. Don’t fucking go there.Oh god. I hated how much I wanted him.“Why doesn’t it surprise me, my lioness?” he said with a crooked grin that screamed of pride and possessi

  • My Tormentor Is My Lover [Tormentor Series #2]   28. On your knees, Ryan

    ROSE What the hell just happened? One second, he was gently holding my wrist, his voice trembling with apologies, remorse etched across every line of his face. And the next? He was walking away, leaving me here…. My heart hammered with confused fury as I watched him lean down to speak to the woman at the reception. She shook her head, clearly refusing whatever he asked. But Ryan didn’t falter. Another man emerged from the door marked Management, and with a quick handshake, a few low words, and a smile that sent chills down my spine directed at the man, Ryan turned around and made his way back to me. I didn’t sigh in relief. I didn’t!! When he returned, he took the seat opposite me, not beside me and I hid my disappointment as I stared at him. “What was that?” I asked. “Nothing,” he said, but the glint in his eyes betrayed him. There was excitement there, controlled and measured, like a fuse waiting for a match. “Noth—” I stopped short as chairs scraped across the floor and

  • My Tormentor Is My Lover [Tormentor Series #2]   27. Beg for her forgiveness

    RYAN The moment Rose agreed to meet me, I hadn’t done anything else except to think about what would I say and do to make her understand. I couldn’t just tell her that the reason I had left her was my eight years older daughter. Could I? Only if I wanted to die a cold merciless at the hands of my beautiful, fierce wife. Yeah, no thank you.I just have to find a right way and right time to tell her about it. And, hope that—“Daddy?” I stopped short on the sidewalk to the café. When I turned around, I found my Angel coming toward me with my grandfather in tow. “Hey, Precious, what are you doing here?” I asked, crouching down as she came to hug me. “Cupcakes…” She shrugged, showing me the brown bag she was holding. And, then with a look in her eyes that always managed to make me wary, she asked, “What are you doing here?”I looked at my grandfather, who was as helpful as ever for he added, “Answer her.”“I am here for a meeting.” I said, without looking at her. How could you lie t

  • My Tormentor Is My Lover [Tormentor Series #2]   26. Because, I like you

    ROSEWhen I finally felt like it’d be fine to get out of the bathroom, I opened the door and stopped short. Michael was standing against the opposite wall with his arms crossed over his chest.“You didn’t tell him.” There was a hint of accusation in his voice.And, I was afraid that somehow in the moment of weakness I had lost my friend. My very genuine and kind friend. The friend who has been there to hold me up when everything was crumbling down to nothing around me.“Michael, I…”He raked a hand through his hair as he pushed back from the wall. In two long strides he was standing in front of me. “Rose, I know whatever happened wasn’t what you wanted… it just happened, and I also know that now you’re beating yourself for it. But…” He took a long breath. “You have to tell him.”I nodded my head, agreeing with him. “I know.”He chucked me under the chin, smiling. “Good.” His eyes flickered to my stomach as he placed his hand on it. “How’s the little bean?”“As demanding as his father,

  • My Tormentor Is My Lover [Tormentor Series #2]   25. Warning or Threat

    RYAN “Why are you here? Don't you have somewhere to run off to?” As soon as the words left her mouth, I watched the guilty look that creeped up on her face and the wince she tried to hide. I rubbed a hand down my face, I was at a loss here. I didn't have a first clue to how to make her understand that I had made a mistake by leaving her, and I was not going to repeat that mistake. Because at every turn she refused to listen to me. I had spent the whole night pacing about my house, and at one point, I had even started to clean it. Collecting the bottles. Hiding the antidepressants. Removing every trace of my negligence. I was so restless. I felt so alone all of a sudden, but for once I hadn’t tried to drink my loneliness, instead I had gone to my daughter’s room. There, I had sat down with her picture in my hand. And, surprisingly sleep had come much easier. It had only made me realise that even though I had left Rose behind for the sake of my daughter, to be with my daughter,

  • My Tormentor Is My Lover [Tormentor Series #2]   24. This is a Mistake

    ROSE “Please, stop crying, princess. If you’ll just let me, I’ll go there and kick his ass,” Michael said gently, his thumbs wiping away my tears. “You know I can’t let you do that…” I clung to him, sobbing into his chest. “I don’t know, Michael… I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m terrified of giving him another chance. What if it just ends with me breaking all over again?” His arms wrapped tighter around me, grounding me with quiet strength. “Just be strong,” he murmured. “Just be you, princess. And do whatever it is your heart needs to do.” His palm moved soothingly along my spine, and when I lifted my tear-soaked eyes to meet his, the air shifted. There was no warning, no moment to prepare. It happened slowly, almost gently. A flicker of something else entered the space between us. I wanted comfort. I wanted someone to be there for me, and he was. Involuntarily my eyes flickered to his lips and his did the same. “I—” I licked my lips. “We shouldn’t, princess,” he
