LOGINKayla I couldn’t keep up with Ryder. I ran anyway, my shoes slipping against the hospital floor. I didn’t care that everyone was staring when he slammed both hands on the reception desk. “Ryder.." My voice cracked and sounded distant. He didn't spare me a glance. The receptionist and nurses flinched.“Where's my mother?" God.Those three words gutted me. Because I’d said them before. The day my father collapsed in his office. The day I stopped being Kayla Moreno, daddy’s girl, and became something broken. FLASH BACK.Kayla’s gown was ruined with mud. She was shaking so hard she could barely push open the hospital doors. “Miss Moreno.” The doctor’s voice was wrong. Too soft. “My father… Where is my father?” Her eyes stung from the tears that she tried to hold back. The words scraped her throat. “Her eyes searched the doctor's for a clue.It had to be a mistake. Today was her birthday. Her dad promised her a surprise. She shouldn't be here.“We didn’t catch it earl
Author povRyder and Kayla sat at the sofa of her studio apartment. Her hands were intertwined with Ryder's."You've been staring at me this way for over an hour,Ryder. Now I'm serious,damn serious don't you have work to do? You left your company just to stare at me?. Com'on Ryder." Kayla groaned. Relaxed her back on her sofa."Liam has it all sorted out." He grinned at her.She sighed for the umpteenth time. "Obviously. Liam has it all sorted out, just as Riley has it sorted out. I promise I'll get back to work starting tomorrow and that's final.""As you wish,your Highness." He courtesied in front of her."What are you doing?" She chuckled under her breath..
Author PovThe sound of a girl coughing filled the room.She gasped as she tried to guide her eyes away from the sunlight that radiated from the window next to her,with the back of her hand. Slowly her eyes dragged over the clothes she wore.Her mind calculated fast. Blue shirt. Black leggings that she's never seen before. She gasped in horror when she realised she was in an unfamiliar room. "ouchhh" she sighed in frustration when her head pounded hard, making her dizzy again."You're awake." She heard a familiar voice call out to her when she held her hurting head. She turned fast in fear. Her eyes grew wider when she thought of a possibility of the unknown,she held the gray blanket to her chest tightly."What did you do to me.?" The words slipped out of her mouth within a second. She held her head as she tried to remember how she got there but she could only remember entering her ride after a short conversation with him. Noah. But it was futile."What do you mean by that, Liana.?"
Kayla My gaze on him didn’t die down one bit. Ryder was in my kitchen. Making me food. Like nothing had happened. Like we drink crash out about the neck chain few nights ago.My hands were folded, relaxed on my lap, but inside I was a mess. Every move he took. Every shift of his shoulders. Every flex of muscle under that black tee. I saw them all. I memorized them.At some point I shifted in my seat. The chair creaked under me. He still hadn’t told me a single thing about the other night. Not one word. Not since he’d walked out of my door at the dead of the night with his shirt half-buttoned and that look on his face. The silence was eating me alive. “At this rate, you’d probably ravage me with this look,” He said. It came out dry. A joke,I knew but..I didn’t laugh. “Why did you come back?” It was meant to be a question. A real one. One I needed him to answer. But one look he gave me made me curl back into myself. His eyes were dark. Tired. And certain. “I can’t let you go.”
Kayla Two weeks laterWould you still want to tangle with the guy who saved you through all those messes you've been through without having a single grudge against you? rainy nights and sunny days,he'd come by,grinning at me like i'm the only thing that mattered in the world.i try to tell myself it's just a passing phase,i'm probably obsessed with him because i see a part of him. A childish part of him that makes me think of nothing else but him.ryder. "You've been staring at that gap for more than an hour,miss Kayla".ahh.Riley.my hands reached for the fountain pen next to me. "How's Liam?" She chuckled,tapping my table concurrently. "you would have known if you heard me talking""I was listening to you.""You don't know how Liam is faring" She rolled her eyes."You've been good. Right?". Her gaze softened. that gaze that made me want to curl at the far end of my bed. Maybe cry my eyes out.I sniffed before realising. "it's fine. I can talk about him now.""Him?"yes. Him.I o
Author POVThe door to the hospital closed shut roughly behind her. Liana’s bag wiggled at her side as she tried to steady her footsteps. They looked jittery. I felt worse. Low curses slipped out of her lips like she was chewing on them, swallowing each one before it could be heard.She searched aimlessly for a taxi. The evening air in LA was still warm, but it did nothing to calm the shake in her hands. Her heel tapped constantly against the graveled floor of the hospital driveway. Buses, nurses, families — everyone moving with purpose while she stood there like the ground had tilted.Her hands found their way to her bag. She dug through it, fingers clumsy, until she found her phone. She pulled it out and dialed a number. The other line went through almost immediately.“You dare not try me, you daughter of a bitch.” Liana’s voice cut through the air, sharp and loud, even with the busy pedestrian walkway behind her.The voice on the other end was calm. Too calm. “You’re supposed t
Kayla I told myself it was just a kiss,it doesn't mean anything, after all we've had nights with ecstasies that drove one to cloud nine. Lies. All night I kept replaying it. I couldn't take my mind off the picture. Ryder’s hand on my jaw. His thumb on my cheek. The way he said “best
Kayla Everything just sounds so surreal for me,the fact that I didn't tell anyone about this makes it a lot harder for me.I've been thriving for a long time to take the Moreno enterprise to the top, but a single shot from someone I don't even know had all my hard work going down the drain.“You s

Unknown The whole Silver house was quiet, Jaden turned to look at the lady in front of him.“Why should you believe what you say is real?Why should we trust you?”he asked.“I've got everything and nothing to lose at the same time, so why shouldn't you?”she sounded irritated.“Who gave you the stra
