THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY One Last Look
Riker’s POVIf I ever thought my first year had been hard, this second year was laughing in my face.Not the soft kind of laughter either. The kind that drags its nails down the back of your spine while you’re still trying to pretend you’re fine.I adjusted my book bag for the third time as we walked, the straps digging into my shoulder in a way that felt more honest than anything else today.“That bad, huh?” Vanessa said beside me, falling into step like she had always belonged there.I let out a small, tired chuckle. “I’m exaggerating.”She raised an eyebrow. “That didn’t sound like exaggeration.”“It was dramatic exaggeration,” I corrected, and she laughed softly.Campus moved around us in pieces. Students drifting between buildings, conversations overlapping, life happening like nothing in me was falling apart in slow motion.It was Friday.
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY A Life Already Written
The door clicked shut after Vanessa left, but the sound didn’t really leave with her.It stayed.Hollow. Final. Sharp in a way that made the silence feel louder than anything she had said.I stood there for a moment longer than I should have, staring at the empty space like it might answer back if I gave it enough time. But there was nothing. No second knock. No correction. No undoing.Just me and the weight she had dropped in the middle of my life.Warren. Ryan. Riker.My jaw tightened.Every word she had thrown at me earlier still echoed in fragments, not even fully formed sentences anymore, just impressions of accusation and disappointment and something that sounded dangerously close to truth.I dragged a hand down my face and turned back into the room.Catherine was still there.Of course she was.She had resumed her place like nothing had happened, like the interruption had been a minor inconveni
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY Never chose this
Leo’s POVI barely had time to process her presence before Vanessa stepped in like she owned the place.“I’m not here for a friendly visit,” she said immediately.I straightened slightly.“Then what are you here for?”She shut the door behind her with more force than necessary.“To do what needs to be done.”I frowned“Vanessa, I already told you—”“No,” she snapped, cutting me off. “You don’t get to talk yet.”That shut me up.She stepped forward.“Do you have any idea what your friends did?”My stomach tightened instantly “Warren and Ryan?” I said whole I racked my brain for how I could end being called a friend of those empty headed people.
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY Out of sight, out of mind.
Ryker’s POVI was tired.Every day felt like another attempt to piece together something that was already falling apart.I was tired of trying to understand Leo.Tired of waiting.Tired of hoping.And most of all, I was tired of feeling like I was the only person fighting for something that might have never really been mine.Vanessa walked me back to the dorm after our conversation.She didn’t say much, and honestly, I was grateful.Sometimes words just made everything worse.When we reached my room, she stopped at the door.“I have a class in a few minutes,” she said softly. “But I’ll check on you later, okay?”I nodded.“Okay.”She studied me for a moment, like she was trying to make sure I wasn’t about to break apart the second she left.“You are going to get over this and I mean it, Ryker.”I forced a small smile.“I know.”She sighed, then gave me one last look before walking away.I waited until she disappeared down the hallway before entering my room.It was quiet.Almost too q
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY The Life I didn't want.
Leo’s POVEver since the wedding preparations started, I felt like I was watching someone else live my life.Everything moved too quickly. The calls, the meetings, the arrangements, the endless discussions about flowers, venues, food, and guests. Everyone around me looked excited.My father was satisfied.Catherine was happy.And I was just… there.I had spent so much time trying to find a way out. Trying to figure out how to stop the wedding, how to fix everything, how to somehow have a future where I could choose Ryker.But now?Now I was standing at the edge of something I couldn’t escape.A wedding.A pregnancy.A future already decided for me.I sat on the couch in the apartment, staring blankly at the travel do
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY It feels good to be back.
Ryker’s POVI didn't realize how much I had missed the familiar mess of my roommates in our dorm until I stepped inside and saw everything exactly how I remembered it.Oliver was standing beside his bed, folding his clothes and arranging them like he was preparing for some kind of fashion show."Feels good to be back," he said, placing another shirt on top of the growing pile.Chris, on the other hand, was stretched across his bed dramatically, staring at the ceiling."Absolutely not," he groaned.I looked over at him."What?""This break was criminally short," he complained. "Who decided that was enough time for students to rest? I need four months. Minimum."Oliver rolled his eyes."You spent half of your break sleeping.""Exactly. And I needed mor
THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY Some kind of an alliance
Ryker’s POVI placed the lunch I had packed for Mr. John Mark on the small table beside his bed.Chicken soup, some salad.And a coffee in a heater.I made sure everything was arranged properly before turning back to him.I had been here since the early hours of the next day after everything happen

THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY Just go back
Ryker’s POVThe rain didn’t bother me anymore.At least, that was what I told myself.At some point, the cold stopped feeling cold. The wet clothes stopped feeling uncomfortable. Everything around me just became background noise.Maybe that was what happened when someone got too tired.I had no ene
