Ryker's POV

My class ended, but I was almost certain I could not retain a single thing the lecturer had taught.

Not one definition. Not one example. Not one sentence.

The man had spent over an hour pacing in front of the board, speaking passionately about statutory interpretation and judicial application, but every word had bounced cleanly off my skull. I had sat there with my pen in hand, pretending to take notes while my mind wa

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   Hard Enough

    Leo's POVI limped all the way to my father's office, refusing to grant him the satisfaction of seeing me depend on that stupid walking stick for sustenance. Every step felt like someone had buried glass under my skin and asked me to dance on it, but I kept going anyway.Pain had become ordinary now. It followed me like a shadowIf I reached for the cane, he would smirk. If I showed weakness, he would feast on it.The man was a nutcase.When I got to the office doors, I pushed them open without knocking.If he was angry, he could shoot me again.I couldn't care less.The room smelled of polished wood and leather. Heavy curtains framed the tall windows, muting the daylight into something dull and lifeless.My father sat behind his desk with a folder in one hand and a glass of something amber in the other. He looked up slowly, e

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   A life without him

    Ryker's POVI made my way through the crowd of female students flooding the hallway, most of them carrying pool noodles, sunglasses, towels, and bright little bags stuffed with sunscreen and whatever rich girls brought to parties. Laughter bounced off the dorm walls as they rushed past me in groups, perfume and excitement trailing behind them.There was some huge pool party happening at the Sovereigns House, and apparently half the campus had been invited.I could not have cared less.I had not seen or heard from Leo in a full month.At first, I told myself he was resting. Then I told myself he was busy. Then I told myself maybe his phone had been taken or maybe he just needed time. But as the days stacked on top of each other, worry had curdled into something far uglier.Panic.Leo was not answering my calls. He was not returning my texts. Every message I sent sat there like a stone dropped into deep water. To make things worse, Vanessa had vanished too. No replies. No calls. No acci

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   What Was Happening

    Catherine's POVI was getting kind of sick of whatever was going on.The feeling had started as irritation sometime during the first week, which turned into anger during the second, and by the third it had become something far uglier. A restless and crawling frustration that followed me everywhere. I carried it to lectures, into lunch with friends, into late-night showers, into bed. It sat on my chest when I woke and whispered the same question every morning.What exactly was happening?I had not seen Leo in nearly three weeks.Three full weeks.Not one visit. Not one proper explanation. Even if he had missed his big speech so damn what?Nothing was worth going of the grid for almost a month.The day everything started replayed in my head constantly, The Goldman event had been meant to be perfect. My first time attending. My dress was perfect, my hair done, my makeup glowing under ballroom lights. I had imagined photographs, introductions, whispers about how elegant we looked togeth

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   Live in Hate 

    Leo's POV(Three Weeks Later)I let the cool water settle around me and work its way through every aching joint in my body, especially the one on my left leg. It was the only thing that gave me any kind of relief now, those few moments when the water numbed everything enough for me to forget where I was and what had happened.If I stayed still long enough, eyes closed, head tilted back, I could almost imagine I was somewhere else entirely. Somewhere without guards outside every door.Somewhere without polished marble floors and locked gates. Somewhere without him.The last three weeks had been one endless rotation of routines, appointments, exercises, scans, medications, and lectures from men in white coats who treated me like both a patient and a political investment.Every morning began with pain. Every afternoon there was so

  • THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY   Be a friend!

    Ryker's POV “Tell us everything. Did you really mouth off to those idiots? Word for word. Leave nothing out.” Oliver spoke out.I dropped my bag beside my bed and tried not to smile too hard. “Surprisingly, yeah,” I answered, still half shocked by it myself.Both of them erupted at once.“Cool” Oliver yelled, slapping his knee.I laughed and sat down. The whole thing still felt unreal. Me, talking back? Me, standing there and refusing to shrink? If someone had told me a month ago that I would do that, I would have asked what they were smoking.Chris crossed his arms. “Okay, but what exactly did you say?”I repeated it all, from the moment they stopped me in the hallway to the second I took off my glasses and told them I was too exhausted to care about their insults. I even copied the look on their faces when I walked past them.Oliver let out a howl of laughter “You removed your glasses?” he wheezed. “Like some revenge movie hero?”“I did not do it dramatically,” I protested.“You ab

I had sat there with my pen in hand, pretending to take notes while my mind wandered somewhere far more dangerous.I still had not heard from Leo.I still had not heard from Vanessa either.That silence was starting to eat through me.Every few minutes my thoughts replayed new scenarios without my permission. Leo in a hospital bed, Leo injured worse than anyone knew. Leo furious with me. Leo regretting everything.
