All Chapters of THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

Ryker's povTen minutes had slowly turned into several hours.The room had long since gone quiet, the sounds of students moving between classes fading until only distant footsteps occasionally echoed through the hallway outside.I sat there staring at the floor.Then at the desk.Then at the wall.Then back at the floor.My brain kept replaying the same things over and over again.I groaned and buried my face in my hands.What was my life?Seriously.What was my actual life?A few days ago, I had been worrying about how to get over the one person I loved more than life itself.Now somehow I was apparently the mystery person whose name had been called at a billionaire's wedding.Wonderful.Absolutely wonderful.I leaned back in my chair and stared at the ceiling.For once in my life, I wished things would just go smoothly.No drama.No heartbreak.No emotional disasters.Just one normal week.Was that too much to ask?Apparently it was.Because every time I thought things couldn't poss

Ryker's pov I don't get it, Vanessa. I really don't. Why? Why do I have to leave?She looked at me as if I should automatically understand everything from the look she was giving me alone. Her hands landed on my shoulders, firm and pleading at the same time."Ryker , listen. I wouldn't make you leave if it wasn't important."I pushed her hands away gently and dragged both palms over my face."That's the thing. I don't understand.""You don't know the dynamics of Leo's family." She said gently.At the sound of his name, something inside me snapped."Leo. Leo. Leo." I laughed bitterly. "You know that's all I can fucking hear about today? Everything revolves around him."Vanessa flinched."He got married to Catherine, Vanessa," I continued. "He's with her now. There's no problem. I'm not her. I'm not a threat or anything. They're married, and they're going to stay married because I don't plan to steal him from her. You of all people should know that."She stared at me.I could see it.T

  Ryker's pov  Me and Vanessa had packed a suitcase full of just some of the things I would need for the next few weeks, and now we were making our way through campus toward the spot where we'd usually get a cab. I still wasn't completely convinced this was necessary. Every step I took felt strange. Like I was abandoning my life for reasons I still didn't fully understand. The suitcase rolled behind me as Vanessa walked beside me, her eyes constantly scanning our surroundings.She was still acting like someone was about to jump out of a bush and kidnap me. I honestly didn't know whether to find that comforting or annoying. Probably both. When we got to the curb, we waited. And waited. And waited. Twenty minutes later,

  Ryker's POV "We're almost there. Calm down," Vanessa said while I gripped onto the passenger seat with one hand and the window with the other. Like I said, if I held on tightly enough, maybe the car would stop and I'd be able to roll out of it. She sped past a group of pedestrians, barely missing one of them. My heart practically climbed into my throat. "Vanessa!" I yelled. "What?" she asked innocently. "You almost hit someone!" I screamed at her, my finger nails practically digging into the car seat. "I didn't." She said nonchalantly. I swear it's like she’s another person when she drives. "You almost did!" "I had plenty of space."She laughed. A few seconds later we reached a small alleyway. Without warning, she t

  Ronaldo's POV Classes ended at exactly four in the evening. He wasn't back. At first, I wasn't worried. Ryker sometimes stayed behind to read in the library or wandered over to Professor John Mark's office whenever he needed to clear his head. But five became six. Six became eight. Eight became eleven. He still wasn't back. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the empty mattress across from mine. It looked strangely untouched. Too untouched. I'd heard the rumors all day. Leo had said Ryker's name at his wedding. At the altar. In front of everyone. My jaw clenched all over again. I hated Leonardo.
