Beyond The Contract のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

~~Two years ago~~Kimberly walked in holding a bunch of documents."Sir, I have all the papers ready. All you need to do is sign them so demolition can begin".If there was one thing about Kimberly, it was that she was efficient and almost never wrong which was why he had hired her immediately after she graduated.He would admit, she was a sight for sore eyes but he would never break one of his rules and that was Never mix business with pleasure.He nodded at her. A silent indication that she could leave."Kimberly", he called out.She paused but didn't turn."I will be going to look at the place myself".Ryke couldn't recall why he bought the land particularly. Oh actually he could, it was because of the restaurant standing built on it.The place was colorful, everyone and everything around it radiated happiness. It looked like it needed someone to help down the spirits.Some might call him sad, he didn't actually care. He was a realist and one thing he knew, "The word is a sad and d

There were very few things that irritated Ryke. People that talked to loud, Women that didn't understand the difference between a one time fuck and a relationship, People that wasted his time, Prolonged conversations but most of all, it was not getting what he wanted. He stared out his window with a frown on his face. To say the meeting with Jacob Morgan had left him irritated would be an understatement. "Mr. Sterling. It's finally nice to meet the genius behind Sterlings, Jacob said as he extended his hand for a handshake. Jacob Morgan carried himself like he had seen it all. Considering that he was a man in his late seventies, he would be deserving of that right. Peppered gray hair and beards with hazel eyes that looked kind when he smiled. "Mr Morgan. The honor is mine", he took his hands. " Why don't we get down to business. I went through the documents personally. Only the best for a company as good as Sterlings and I have to say I was very impressed. Well I hadn't expect

Crystal lay on the bed facing the ceiling.“If you think dying is your way out this contract then you’d have to think again”.She didn’t need to turn to know who it was. She had been having recurring dreams with the owner of the voice starring in most of them.“If you’ve come to irritate me, then you can save it for later. After all, we have the rest of our lives to spend together”.Ryke smiled, he realized he had been doing a lot of that lately. That mouth of hers. He couldn’t wait to discover what else they did apart from spit fire."It's funny how easily your brother signed you off. One might think he was eager to get rid of you", Ryke said, trying to rile her up more.It worked.Crystal glared at him, "Don't talk about my brother. You know nothing of our relationship".Ryke sighed, "You are acting like a petulant child. I know you are only eighteen but you mustn't act like it"."Since I'm such a child, why did you force me into a marriage and what are you even here?""Stop raising

The stench of chemicals was becoming unbearable."I need to get out of this hospital". Crystal removed the tubes stuck in her arm. She was about to sneak out of the hospital room when something caught her eye.She picked it up. Ryke had left his business card.Did he really expect her to call him?She threw it and it landed on the bed. "On second thought, I need to call him and give him a little bit more words".Crystal managed to make it out without anyone seeing her.The hospital really needed to up their security.She couldn't call Logan because she really didn't want to owe him any favors, Isabella wasn't the best person on her radar. She quickly programmed Ryke's number in her phone and then she began to walk.She felt a pang. Where was she really walking to?Her home was basically not her home anymore since she had been given to someone as a property.What was happening?"Are you lost? Come little girl I'll show you the way".Crystal turned swiftly. There were three huge men st

"Wake up, son".Ryke tossed and turned in bed, the next thing he felt was a slap on his face."When I say wake up, you do it immediately. Now get ready, we are going on a trip".Ryke stood up, trying to fight the tears forming in his eyes.He had never understood why his father hated him so much. He was only ten years old and he had experienced enough beatings to last him two lifetimes.He passed his mother on his way out, and she smiled at him while trying to hide her swollen eyes.There was no point really."Hurry up boy, only a woman drags her feet"."I'm coming Dad".Ryke stilled, "I'm sorry Dad. I mean Sir".Richard smiled at his son, "You know what. I'm in a good mood today so I'll let it slide".The trip took forever. The snow seeped into his clothes.His father had forbidden him from wearing a jacket saying, "I am training you to be a strong man. Strong men can withstand anything"."We are here", Richard announced.Ryke stood, trying to keep his eyes open. The snow was becomin
