He stood there like a statue for a minute before leaving the room. Once he was gone, I hurriedly text Roy to make sure some things were done before Ryker does anything.Me: Roy I need your help.I knew they wouldn't waste a minute to reply me back. They had been leaving messages to know how was it going, did Ryker say something or did we kiss? Like what the heck.Roy: tell me he didn't try to kiss you by force, I'm loading my gun.That brought a smile to my lips. He was really an overprotective brother and I was enjoying it. But I am not gonna lie, Jamie shipped me with Ryker for some reasons unknown.Me: No, but I want you to find me Mr. Paul Benson's number before Ryker talks to him.Roy: What? I knew this guy was into guys, I saw him looking at me with those eyes which made me uncomfortable.Me: What? No Roy it's not like that. Lemme call you.That's him, silly, goofy, but cute. I told him everything on the call and told him

"She needs to rest and take care of her health and eat healthy too," Ryker repeated what the doctor had told him and rubbed my hand that he has been holding. Ever since we reached the building, we sat in the parked car silently. He held my hand after Cain pissed me off and despite me wanting to get out of his grip, I didn’t do anything to shrug myself free.  "I do rest all the time Ryker," I said with my head lowered down as I felt tired. "Yeah, and you stress a lot too," he added, while holding my hand and exhaling a breath full of air.  "You shouldn't have jeopardized your relationship with me, Ryker." I was upset because lately, he has been suffering a lot, and even though he deserved it, but you know when you love someone, no matter how badly you wanna move on from them but you just can't. It wasn’t like I desired to be back in his arms, that phase was over the moment I had a picture of Scarlet on top of him instilled

“You girls don’t have anything better to do so, you bully others to make yourself feel better, how pathetic.” I bitterly spoke while keeping my eyes at Willow, who was watching my face silently. I expected her to say something in return, but I was wrong because she didn’t utter back. Hence, I left downstairs, bothering less about these little mean girls.I was tired and had nothing else to do so I made up my mind to back to my room and get some rest. As I reached my room, I found the door fully ajar. There was someone in my room, my instant thought brought Ryker’s name in my head, but he wouldn’t just barge in and leave the door open. I peeked inside and my heart sank in my chest. It was Scarlet! Not only was she in my room, but also going through my stuff ignorantly. I rushed inside, carrying so much anger and hatred in my veins that I could literally feel my heart throbbing in my head."How dare you touch my st

I was peacefully asleep until I heard some noise from my room. I yawned and before I could open my eyes, the door slammed close. My eyes shot open at the noise, I looked around and found him gone. He left again!Maybe he couldn’t control himself last night, but then he woke up, he realized he made the mistake to stay over since he can’t even trust me anymore. I sadly watched the empty space he had left when he left just now. “It’s fine, everything will be cleared after today’s evening party. I am sure Scarlet will be able to prove me innocent and Ryker will be in my arms for good tonight.” I patted my heart to calm it down and smiled like a silly.Wait!I wondered what happened on the night of the accident. Ryker once mentioned Scarlet’s ex tried to hurt him, who was this ex? My heart missed a beat at the mention of it, I shouldn’t think like that. But then why di

"What?" he raised his brow, he was already pissed and me saying that made him even madder. But I was his responsibility, his stupid girl got me in trouble. I mean I can't just go and ask Paul for help, he already had enough responsibilities for his daughter plus why would I endanger his life? I'm not his responsibility.Roy and Jamie had done a lot for me, and they were already in so much trouble because of Irvin, I could not go back there. "You heard me, you two caused me this trouble." I looked him in the eye, feeling petty. My self-esteem was crushed, now I was just gonna look for ways to protect myself and my baby.It hurts my heart to beg before someone who had rejected my love, who did not believe me. He again believed Scarlet today and dismissed my emotions, even when he could tell I was nothing like Scarlet."You wish I would do that. I will never marry a girl like you." the disgust on his face made my body frozen. What does he mean by a girl like
