Chapter seventy

Author POV London, 14 years ago. Victoria Beach. 4:37 PM. The charity event was chaotic. White tents, loud music, people in suits sweating under the sun. “Brooks Foundation Annual Children’s Gala” banners flapped in the hot wind. Cameras flashed every few seconds. Thirteen-year-old Ryder Brooks hated every second of it. He wasn’t supposed to be near the water. His bodyguards had said it three times. “Stay where we can see you, young master.” But the tide was low and the waves looked harmless. And he was bored of rich men talking about donations. So he slipped away. He ran past the tents, past waiters carrying trays of juice, past his mother calling his name. He didn’t stop until his bare feet hit wet sand. The backside of the beach. Quieter. No one here. Just rocks, seaweed, and the sound of waves hitting stone. The water was cold when he waded in up to his knees. Then his waist. Then his chest. He thought he could touch the bottom. He was wrong. One step. The sand gave way

Chapter Seventy -one

KaylaPRESENT The compass chain felt hot in my palm. Like it was burning through my skin.“What??” The word left me broken. Almost airless. I stared at the guy who I've always nagged insulted and called names but he still wasn't ready to let me be.The room tilted so fast that I sat down heavily on the close chair I could lean on.Ryder crouched in front of me. His knees on my rug. His hands didn’t touch me yet. Like he was afraid I’d shatter if he did.“I gave that neckchain to you that day,” he said again. His voice was low and rough. He was also finding it hard to believe “ Fourteen years ago. At Victoria beach. London. You saved me.”Memories slammed into me.A crowded charity event. I wasn’t supposed to be at the back beach. I’d run there to cry after my mother’s funeral three days earlier. The sound of music felt wrong when she was in the ground.Then I heard splashing. Gasping. A boy. A few years older than me. Dark hair plastered to his forehead. He was thrashing in the wate

Chapter seventy -two

Author POV Five hours later.The heavy oak door to the Brooks family home swung open. Ryder stepped inside. He kicked off his shoes at the door and dropped onto the couch like his legs could no longer hold him. His suit jacket was gone. His tie was loose. His hair was a mess from running his hands through it all day.“God…” he sighed.The word came out broken.His mind wouldn’t shut up. It hadn’t for hours. He kept replaying it. Her face when she realized. The compass in her palm. The way she said, *“I’ve been waiting for you.”*All this while, he had chased after Kayla and never understood why. Why his chest pulled toward her every time she was near. Why he couldn’t sleep if he didn’t know she was safe. Why one look from her could undo him.Now he knew.He loved her from the very first moment he saw her at that charity event Jaden dragged her to. He loved her even when he found out she was his best friend’s wife. He loved her even when she looked him in the eye and sai

Chapter seventy -three

Author POV The bed creaked as Kayla turned over, restless. But sleep just wouldn’t come. She kept thinking about Ryder. About the promise she’d made to him. About the compass chain at the parlor's table…useless now, but she still couldn’t bring herself to stop thinking about it. Finally, she threw off the duvet and slipped on her slippers. The light clicked on. It was way past her bedtime, but her eyes weren’t even close to sleepy. She drifted to the parlour. The chain was still on the table. After the kiss. She didn’t know what that kiss meant. But it lingered. She didn’t want it to end. She was losing herself… against her will… to a guy who teased her every single day for no reason. To someone who stayed by her side no matter how badly she pushed him away. Memories flashed before her eyes. Him by the river. Wet hair. Flushed cheeks from the cold water. That cute smile that made her ten-year-old heart beat faster than a moving train. She should have w

Chapter seventy -four

Author POVThe hospital bed made a cringe noise, Jaden flinched slightly.“What.. what the fuck do you want to do, Liana?" His voice cracked,raspy and worn out. He quickly held his rib that ached badly." What do you mean by that?. Why the hell would I get my ass here for?” She scoffed,still in the act of tugging down his patient robe.The cold hospital air hit his bulge immediately and it sprang free.“Lia.. Liana I am your sister's.." “Exhusband." She cut him off. “You are my sister's ex-husband and I get to do whatever I want to do with your dick whenever I want it." Her words dragged out of her lips with so much confidence." We shouldn't be doing this anymore, Liana,” she chuckled slowly, when she heard Jaden's voice." We shouldn't,but we would. And you can't stop me either.”Her fingers traced the skin of his manhood, stopping short at every veiny part she felt." Ah.. good thing we didn't get to destroy this one.” The sound of her slippers hitting the tiled floor filled the q

Chapter seventy -five

Author POVThe door to the hospital closed shut roughly behind her. Liana’s bag wiggled at her side as she tried to steady her footsteps. They looked jittery. I felt worse. Low curses slipped out of her lips like she was chewing on them, swallowing each one before it could be heard.She searched aimlessly for a taxi. The evening air in LA was still warm, but it did nothing to calm the shake in her hands. Her heel tapped constantly against the graveled floor of the hospital driveway. Buses, nurses, families — everyone moving with purpose while she stood there like the ground had tilted.Her hands found their way to her bag. She dug through it, fingers clumsy, until she found her phone. She pulled it out and dialed a number. The other line went through almost immediately.“You dare not try me, you daughter of a bitch.” Liana’s voice cut through the air, sharp and loud, even with the busy pedestrian walkway behind her.The voice on the other end was calm. Too calm. “You’re supposed t

Kayla Two weeks laterWould you still want to tangle with the guy who saved you through all those messes you've been through without having a single grudge against you? rainy nights and sunny days,he'd come by,grinning at me like i'm the only thing that mattered in the world.i try to tell myself it's just a passing phase,i'm probably obsessed with him because i see a part of him. A childish part of him that makes me think of nothing else but him.ryder. "You've been staring at that gap for more than an hour,miss Kayla".ahh.Riley.my hands reached for the fountain pen next to me. "How's Liam?" She chuckled,tapping my table concurrently. "you would have known if you heard me talking""I was listening to you.""You don't know how Liam is faring" She rolled her eyes."You've been good. Right?". Her gaze softened. that gaze that made me want to curl at the far end of my bed. Maybe cry my eyes out.I sniffed before realising. "it's fine. I can talk about him now.""Him?"yes. Him.I o

Chapter seventy -seven

Kayla My gaze on him didn’t die down one bit. Ryder was in my kitchen. Making me food. Like nothing had happened. Like we drink crash out about the neck chain few nights ago.My hands were folded, relaxed on my lap, but inside I was a mess. Every move he took. Every shift of his shoulders. Every flex of muscle under that black tee. I saw them all. I memorized them.At some point I shifted in my seat. The chair creaked under me. He still hadn’t told me a single thing about the other night. Not one word. Not since he’d walked out of my door at the dead of the night with his shirt half-buttoned and that look on his face. The silence was eating me alive. “At this rate, you’d probably ravage me with this look,” He said. It came out dry. A joke,I knew but..I didn’t laugh. “Why did you come back?” It was meant to be a question. A real one. One I needed him to answer. But one look he gave me made me curl back into myself. His eyes were dark. Tired. And certain. “I can’t let you go.”

Chapter seventy -eight

Author PovThe sound of a girl coughing filled the room.She gasped as she tried to guide her eyes away from the sunlight that radiated from the window next to her,with the back of her hand. Slowly her eyes dragged over the clothes she wore.Her mind calculated fast. Blue shirt. Black leggings that she's never seen before. She gasped in horror when she realised she was in an unfamiliar room. "ouchhh" she sighed in frustration when her head pounded hard, making her dizzy again."You're awake." She heard a familiar voice call out to her when she held her hurting head. She turned fast in fear. Her eyes grew wider when she thought of a possibility of the unknown,she held the gray blanket to her chest tightly."What did you do to me.?" The words slipped out of her mouth within a second. She held her head as she tried to remember how she got there but she could only remember entering her ride after a short conversation with him. Noah. But it was futile."What do you mean by that, Liana.?"

Chapter seventy -nine

Author povRyder and Kayla sat at the sofa of her studio apartment. Her hands were intertwined with Ryder's."You've been staring at me this way for over an hour,Ryder. Now I'm serious,damn serious don't you have work to do? You left your company just to stare at me?. Com'on Ryder." Kayla groaned. Relaxed her back on her sofa."Liam has it all sorted out." He grinned at her.She sighed for the umpteenth time. "Obviously. Liam has it all sorted out, just as Riley has it sorted out. I promise I'll get back to work starting tomorrow and that's final.""As you wish,your Highness." He courtesied in front of her."What are you doing?" She chuckled under her breath..
