THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY All because of him.
Ryker's pov I don't get it, Vanessa. I really don't. Why? Why do I have to leave?She looked at me as if I should automatically understand everything from the look she was giving me alone. Her hands landed on my shoulders, firm and pleading at the same time."Ryker , listen. I wouldn't make you leave if it wasn't important."I pushed her hands away gently and dragged both palms over my face."That's the thing. I don't understand.""You don't know the dynamics of Leo's family." She said gently.At the sound of his name, something inside me snapped."Leo. Leo. Leo." I laughed bitterly. "You know that's all I can fucking hear about today? Everything revolves around him."Vanessa flinched."He got married to Catherine, Vanessa," I continued. "He's with her now. There's no problem. I'm not her. I'm not a threat or anything. They're married, and they're going to stay married because I don't plan to steal him from her. You of all people should know that."She stared at me.I could see it.T
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY A silence much worse.
Leo's pov I had successfully made the video.I sat staring at my phone screen as the uploaded video continued collecting views by the second.Thousands.Tens of thousands.Hundreds of thousands.The internet was eating it up exactly the way the media team predicted.Every carefully rehearsed word.Every controlled expression.Every calculated smile.Every lie.Especially the lies."I'd like to address what happened during my wedding ceremony."I could practically hear my own voice playing in my head."The name I called out at the altar was simply the name of someone I had spoken to recently."Lie."I had also had a bit too much to drink."Lie."It was an unfortunate slip of the tongue."Lie."I deeply love my wife."The biggest lie of all."I would never intentionally hurt her or embarrass her."Lie.Lie.Lie.Lie.Every single word that came out of my mouth had been carefully manufactured.Packaged.Polished.Presented to the public as truth.That was what media control meant.Lying
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY Trouble Chases
Ryker's povTen minutes had slowly turned into several hours.The room had long since gone quiet, the sounds of students moving between classes fading until only distant footsteps occasionally echoed through the hallway outside.I sat there staring at the floor.Then at the desk.Then at the wall.Then back at the floor.My brain kept replaying the same things over and over again.I groaned and buried my face in my hands.What was my life?Seriously.What was my actual life?A few days ago, I had been worrying about how to get over the one person I loved more than life itself.Now somehow I was apparently the mystery person whose name had been called at a billionaire's wedding.Wonderful.Absolutely wonderful.I leaned back in my chair and stared at the ceiling.For once in my life, I wished things would just go smoothly.No drama.No heartbreak.No emotional disasters.Just one normal week.Was that too much to ask?Apparently it was.Because every time I thought things couldn't poss
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY Be Alone
Ryker's povI was losing my mind.There was no other way to describe it.I paced across the empty classroom so many times that I was beginning to wear an invisible trail into the floor. My thoughts kept circling the same question over and over again until it felt like it was carving itself into my skull.How?How could he do that?How could he stand at the altar in front of hundreds of people and say my name?My name.Not Catherine's.Mine."Ryker."Derek's voice came from somewhere behind me.I ignored him.I couldn't stop moving.My chest felt tight. My breathing felt wrong.Everything felt wrong."He said my name," I muttered.I dragged both hands through my hair."At the altar.""Ryker, you need to sit down.""No."I turned sharply and started pacing in the opposite direction."Who does that?" I demanded. "Seriously, who does that?"Derek remained leaning against one of the desks.His expression was careful.It somehow annoyed me even more."He married her."I laughed.The sound c
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY Milestone Homewrecker
Ryker's POVI was in a very good mood.I'm not even sure why.Since Oliver and Chris walked in on me and Ronaldo that morning, I'd had this strange sense of comfort sitting inside my chest.It wasn't happiness exactly.It wasn't excitement either.It was just... peace.For the first time in what felt like forever, everything felt quieter.The constant ache that had been clawing at my chest for weeks wasn't gone, but it wasn't screaming anymore.It was resting.And I'd take that, any day over the usual chaos.I adjusted my bag on my shoulder as I made my way across campus.Students hurried in every direction.Some were heading to classes.Some were sitting beneath trees.Others were gathered around food stalls laughing loudly.Life move
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY How could you fo this?
Leo's POVMy brain was hurting,really badly too.Not just from the alcohol I had consumed earlier.Not just from the migraine that had been threatening to split my skull in half since morning from all the drinking.Everything hurt.My chest.My thoughts.My conscience.Exactly as my father predicted, the news about me saying the wrong name on the altar spread like wildfire, and it was already on every tabloid there was.Every.Single.One.The moment I opened my phone, it was there."Leonardo Rizz Calls Another Name During Wedding Vows.""Mystery Person Interrupts High Profile Wedding.""Who Is Ryker?"I couldn't escape it.Ryker's name was out there in the open, free for any and everyone to figure out his identity, free for anyone to do whatever they could to him.And I was over here.Powerless.I couldn't protect him.It wouldn't take long.In fact, I could already picture my father's face as he realizes that Ryker is a real person, and as he realizes my true interests, my sexuality
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY No Way Out
Ryker’s POVFor a moment, I just stood there.The airport moved around me like I wasn’t part of it anymore. People rushed past with luggage, voices overlapped, announcements echoed overhead, and somehow, none of it touched me. I
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY A New Leaf
Leo’s POV I don’t think I’ve ever felt more out of place in a room that used to feel like home.Ryan is halfway through a story about some girl he met at a gala, waving his hands around like he’s conducting an orchestra of nonsense. Warren is laughing too loud, adding his own commentary about how
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY Be there for you
Ryker’s POVI was a bad friend.The thought didn’t just sit in my head. It echoed, bounced off the walls of my skull like it had nowhere else to go, like it wanted to be heard, acknowledged, punished.“I’m a bad friend,” I muttered again, this time out loud.Chris and Oliver were still standing ac
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY The Bad Friend
Ryker’s POVBy the time I made my way back toward the stadium, most of the noise had already died down.The electric buzz that had filled the air earlier was gone, replaced by scattered voices, distant laughter, and the occasional echo
