  Ryker's POV "What are we going to do?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Vanessa's hand immediately found my shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze."It's going to be okay." I stared at her for a long moment before standing abruptly from the sofa. My legs carried me halfway across the living room before I stopped, running both hands through my hair so hard it almost hurt. "How is it going to be okay?" I asked, turning back to face her. "I mean... you just told me all these awful things. You just told me how dangerous he is, Vanessa. How is any of this okay?" She didn't answer immediately. I laughed, but there wasn't any humor in it. "What am I supposed to do now? If he's really this bad, it's only a matter of time before he finds me." My breathing grew uneven. "What if he already has people out the

Leo's POVMy heart wouldn't slow down.No matter how many times I told myself to breathe, it wouldn't.Dad had sent men to look for Ryker.He actually fucking did it."Damn it..."I dragged both hands through my hair and paced the length of the bedroom for what had to be the hundredth time. The room felt suffocating. Every wall seemed to press closer and closer until it was difficult to breathe.When Ryker called earlier, I had tried to sound calm.Steady.In control.Because if he heard even a fraction of the panic in my voice, he'd panic too.But I wasn't calm.I was terrified.What if I was too late?What if...No.I couldn't even finish the thought.Catherine had fallen asleep hours ago in the adjoining room. Or maybe she was only pretending to sleep so she wouldn't have to see me. After our argument earlier, I couldn't blame her.I didn't even have the energy to think about my marriage anymore.Ryker.Only Ryker."What am I going to do?" I whispered.The question echoed back at m

Ronaldo's POVAfter the men practically paraded us around campus searching for Ryker. They escorted us back to our dorm. I was glad that this was all going to be over. They hadn't found Ryker. Good.But it was only a matter of time." If you see him or speak to him, don't hesitate to reach out to us. I'd hate to see good kids like you three suffer because a friend made bad choices" the taller one said before clearing his throat and placing a card on the table.The short one nodded in agreement then both of them turned and slammed the door behind them.Chris was still standing near the doorway, his jaw clenched so tightly I thought he might crack a tooth. Oliver sat heavily on the edge of his bed, rubbing both hands over his face as if he could somehow wipe away everything that had happened in the last hour.I couldn't stop staring at Ryker's bed.It was still perfectly made.His pillow sat exactly where he'd left it.His hoodie was still hanging over the chair.Everything about the r

  Leo's POV I tossed and turned all night. Sleep never came. Every time I shut my eyes, another memory forced them open again. Ryker's frightened voice on the phone. My mother's face after I screamed at her. My father's cold expression. The altar. Ryker's name leaving my mouth before I could stop it. Everything had fallen apart because of one mistake. One sentence. One name. I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling. Ryker was hiding because of me. He was scared to step outside because of me.He had abandoned his normal life because of me. Every passing hour only made me feel worse. I couldn't keep sitting here pre

  Leo's POV I left Catherine's room feeling lighter than I had in weeks.Not because everything had been fixed. Nothing had. She was still hurting. I was still hurting. Ryker was still in hiding. My father was still hunting him.But for the first time in my life, I had chosen honesty over pretending. Now I had one more person to face.I stopped outside my mother's bedroom. The door was slightly open. I knocked gently before stepping inside. She sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes were swollen from crying. Dark circles sat beneath them like bruises. She looked up as I entered. For a second, hope flickered across her face.Then it disappeared.
