Ripples And Hills Chapter 64.
Hulio. I cuff her ankles with the strappado. Lock her wrists with the handcuffs. My movements are quiet, methodical. Controlled. Unhurried. I know Richo Kendo. A powerful man. A man who lives and dines on rough sex. Sex in the most unconventional of ways. And all this time, I’d been trying to play nice with Ashley. Treated her like a queen. Only to discover this. All that softness I carried for her, gone. What replaces it is the version of me I buried years ago. The one who once ruled the pleasure houses of Monaco. The one I suffocated when I returned to the States, trying to build a name that mirrored my brother’s. Clean and stable. I shoved the dominant side of me deep underground. For her. Ashley. And now, I have to catch her in another man’s arms? No. No more being the good guy. “I’m gonna fuck you until you lose your legs to the sea of my dangerous passion,” I whisper into her ear, grazing the shell with my teeth. She purrs, letting her head fall to the side. Offering me a

Hulio. Later… Evening. I’m at an NBA game with Jude and Carlyle. It’s the New York Knicks versus the Chicago Bulls tonight, and the Knicks are giving us a good show. The roar of the crowd fills the arena like thunder. “Oh! That’s gonna hurt,” Carlyle winces as the ball smacks one of the players square in the chin. We laugh. I sip my soda. “Dude,” Jude leans over, crunching on some nuts. “I heard there’s a party on Saturday. The Hills are throwing it, maybe to celebrate their grandma’s recovery?” “Nah. Not just the recovery,” I reply absently, eyes still on the game. “They haven’t exactly said what it’s for. But yeah, she survived. That’s worth a party on its own.” The court’s air condition bites through my jacket, but the excitement of the game keeps me warm. I’m in full Knicks gear, hat, jacket. The cold’s got nothing on me. “God, I heard she was rammed from behind. Who does that and why?” Carlyle says, eyebrows drawn. I shrug. My thoughts drift to the same question. Why woul

Alexa (Prudence) Tuesday, 15th July. Next day. Morning. I sit in the apartment Helia got for Martha and me. One of his, he told me, just like that, another property in his name. Like the one in Corte. I should be grateful, I know. But I can’t ignore the disappointment weighing down on me, cold and constant. Pier hasn’t called. Not a single word. Like I never existed. It’s like that part of my life never existed. I’m at the dining table, breakfast in front of me, untouched. The food may as well be plastic. “You haven’t eaten yet. I bet you’re excited to see your grandma,” Martha says, breaking through the fog in my head. I glance up at her, forcing a smile. Trying to animate this shell I’ve become. Trying to live. “I am, Martha. But I can’t ignore what happened yesterday. Seeing Jon again like that…” My voice trails. I manage another weak smile. “He didn’t trust me. Not for a second. His cousin. I was just another of grandma's poor beneficiaries to him.” Bitterness finds

Jon. I walk in and find someone sitting with Grandma. Her gaze lands on me. Unblinking. Stunning beauty, I’ll give her that. But what’s with that scar? Gross. I tear my eyes away from her striking blue ones. “Hi, Grandma.” I glide in, holding out the beautiful red roses I brought. But Grandma looks extremely stunned to see me. Her eyes shifting between me and the beautiful woman seated beside her. “Jon… You’re here… I didn’t know you were coming.” Her voice falters. I raise a brow. “Of course you didn’t. This is a hospital, not a hotel, Gran. No concierge for surprise arrivals.” I place the flower in a vase. Then, behind me, a soft chuckle. I glance back. The girl is smiling. Chuckling. “Something funny?” I ask, confused. “Yes, silly. You’re still this stupid and cocky with your jokes.” She chuckles again. I freeze. Still this stupid and cocky? Only one person used to call my jokes both stupid and amusing. Alexa. But she's dead. And this woman? She just said something she w

Elviira Hills.I’m holding her again.My little Alexa.I never thought I’d see her again, not after that night. Not after everything that happened. Her arrest. Her disappearance.Those final minutes before we jumped from the car that night of the accident, still live inside me, sharp and breathless.‘Mrs. Hills… we have to jump, now!’ Perry’s voice shattered the tense silence in the car.The doors unlocked. Alexa’s face swam in my memory. I jumped.Rolled.I had no idea where I was rolling to, only that I had to move. My blood pounded in my ears. Pain exploded in my body when I hit the ground. My arm, my head. The world spun, my chest heaving, vision dimming. And just before the darkness took me, I saw a face.The one face I wish I could forget.Kristian Koinuven.“I’m so happy I can see you again, Grandma,” Alexa whispers into my neck. Her arms clinging to me like she used to when she was small. “I never thought I would. I thought you didn’t want to see me anymore. That you hadn’t s

Alexa (Prudence)New York. Monday, 14th July. Two days later.Evening.It’s 5 p.m. The car weaves through the chaos of New York traffic, heading toward Central Hospital, where Helia said Grandma is receiving treatment. A dislocated arm. Some bruises. But she’s stable now. That’s all I care about. I can’t describe the weight that lifted when I heard she’d survived.As we pass the street where Barney’s is, a dull ache hits my chest. Pier and I. The chocolates. My fingers curl in my lap.I walked away. Just left him. Not like I had a choice. Because he didn't give us a chance to talk. I thought we’d talk. I thought he’d at least ask why. But nothing. No calls. No texts. No ‘Are you okay?’Just silence.‘Give him time, Alexa,’ Martha said last night after catching me calling him, again. I had looked at her, eyes burning with pain. I needed closure before coming back here. If I didn’t hear from him, if we didn’t talk, I wouldn’t find peace.‘I just need to know we’re okay. That he doesn’t
