All Chapters of THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY: Chapter 31 - Chapter 39

 Ronaldo’s POV I didn’t even know what I was doing.All I knew was that I couldn’t sit there and watch Ryker go through this.My footsteps echoed through the nearly empty hallway of the law building as I walked faster than usual, my hands shoved deep into my pockets. Most students had already left for the day. The fluorescent lights above hummed quietly, casting long shadows across the polished floors. But my mind kept ringing loudly.Too loudly.Every thought in my head kept circling back to Ryker. First it was the stupid jokes people made about him being a scholarship student.Then the whispers.Then the way some of the richer kids treated him like he didn’t belong here.And now this.Now some professor was suddenly failing him?It didn’t make sense. Ryker studied harder than anyone I knew.

 Leonardo’s POV Normally, I didn’t care about campus drama.Students argued. Rich kids threw tantrums. Scholarship kids fought to survive.None of it was my problem.I leaned against the café counter, waiting for my espresso, scrolling lazily through my phone while the low hum of conversation filled the room. The campus café was always busy around this hour. Students crowded the plush chairs, the scent of roasted coffee beans and sugar drifting through the air.I barely noticed any of it.Until I heard shouting.At first, it was just background noise.Then it got louder.“YOU’RE PAYING FOR THAT!”A girl’s voice. Sharp. Annoyed. Entitled.I sighed softly. Not my business. The barista slid my drink toward me.But the shouting didn’t stop.“You th

The last thing I

 Ryker’s POV Why would Leo suddenly want to see me behind the library?It had been almost a week since we last spoke. Not even a text. Not even a “come here” or “don’t be seen.” Nothing. And I knew it wasn’t because he didn’t have time.He had my number.If he wanted to reach me, he would have.So why now? I exhaled, dragging a hand through my face as I stood in front of the mirror. “Stop overthinking,” I muttered to myself.Leo was… Leo.He did things when he wanted, how he wanted, and no one questioned it.And honestly? I didn’t care how messed up it was.As long as he kept wanting me, that was enough. …Right? I grabbed the first decent shirt I could find and pulled it on quickly, barely pa

 Ryker’s POV At first, I thought we were actually going into the library, but he veered off before we reached the entrance, heading toward a smaller building tucked behind it.It looked almost abandoned.Like a storage space no one really paid attention to. “Leo…” I started again, more carefully this time, “what is this place?”He didn’t answer. Instead, he walked up to the door, unlocked it like he’d done it a hundred times before, and stepped inside. I hesitated for just a second before following. The inside was dim, filled with shelves, old boxes, and things that looked like they hadn’t been touched in years.It smelled faintly of dust and paper. “What…?”He turned slightly, glancing at me.“Get inside.”
