Lily

The sound of spoons fisting against each other was the only thing rising in the room. All the while, I could feel Hilda and Ryker's gaze on me. I know the reason why Hilda was looking at me. As for Ryker too, he was afraid of me saying anything that would raise suspicion. I might have a plan to say one or two things, but I won't go overboard to the point of anyone getting suspicious. I decided to break the silence. "Um...Father, you didn't attend the club meeting today."

The man was a bit surprised at my words. "I realized it would be better if I start leaving the work to you guys. Very soon I would retire."

I nodded my head as if I understood what the Black Raven Club was all about. An unexpected smile made its way out of me when I felt Ryker's hand on my thigh underneath the table. Despite the gesture making my heart skip a beat, I maintained my composure. I grabbed his hand and placed it atop the table. Both Marcus and Hilda's eyes shifted to our intertwined hands. I could

    RykerA frustrated hiss left my lips a hundred times. Even after covering my ears with the pillows, Lily's snore was like a lullaby to my ears. I threw the pillow on the floor and jolted up. "How can someone snore like a cow," I should have arranged a separate room for her. Sleeping on the couch is uncomfortable. Besides, I owned the room why would I sleep on the couch?I spared her sleeping form a look. Her legs were crossed over to my side. She was the one who came up with the idea of using the pillow as a barrier so we would cross each other path but she was the first person to break the rule. Her snore got louder. The urge to use the pillow and cover her mouth grew in me but I held myself back. “Calm down Ryker. You will deal with her tomorrow.” I tried to assure myself though the anger inside me was still there. If I go out, Father would likely see me or even Marcus and I wasn’t ready for any of their interrogation. With no option left for me, I dragged the duvet that had alrea

    LilyI could feel Ryker's angry stares at me but I couldn't care less. I had warned him already. He thinks I was easy to tame. He thinks he can just push me to the hospital like that without me throwing a tantrum. He needed to know no treatment would ever work on my anger issues. Well, maybe he thinks I was crazy. I would go by that. Our attention shifted to the doctor who had now spoken up. I hate hospitals. My parents had barely lasted up to an hour after they were rushed to the hospital. But I still hate it. It reminded me of the day. I don't like visiting the hospital, it gets me nervous. I was trying my best not to show how much it affected me. If not Ryker and the doctor would think something was wrong with me.And then the doctor shocked me. "Are you uncomfortable?"I gulped down a strong saliva and rolled my eyes. The only way to mask it up. "No," I answered shortly."You're sitting in front of a renowned and skilled doctor so open your mouth and tell him your problems," Ryke

    RykerMy eyes were fixated on my computer screen yet my mind was elsewhere. Mainly on the stunt, Lily pulled today. One time she's all nice, next she's all crazy and confusing. What baffles me more is how she does things without thinking. When she kicked my leg, I felt the pain deeply. I even wondered whether she was a man in disguise because how can someone punch so hard. Everything I say or do, she has the perfect response to it. As for Hilda, I don't know why she was trying to come all over at me. Yes, there's still a bit of softness for her inside of me but that doesn't mean I would degrade myself. I have passed that stage already. My main focus should be on being the leader. And then handling Lily. A voice in my head rang. My eyes shifted to Lily who was busy giggling at something on her phone. She isn't doing the work she was supposed to do. I emitted a sharp breath and returned my focus to what I was doing. We plan to have a friendly race with the team in preparation for the

    LilyA sigh of relief left my lips as I washed my face with the water from the basin. A few minutes ago, I thought I was going to die. My bladder nearly busts out. If only I didn't drink too much water and also arrived home on time, it would have been worse. But then again…“Ryker!” I hissed out through gritted teeth before storming out of the bathroom. There I found him seated on the edge of the bed arms crossed over his chest. More like he was waiting for me to return.“What is wrong with you?” He looked at me briefly before patting the space next to me. “Sit. I have something to tell you.” His voice was gentle but it indicated he was about to mess with me more.I stood on my ground and folded my arms across my chest too. “And why would I?”“Because I want you to.” My brows creased together in confusion. Why did he sound so soft all of a sudden? No anger on his face or anything. “I have forgiven you for what you did today. So just sit.” My eyes lingered on me for some time. “If yo

    Lily"I am going to kill Ryker!" I gripped my glass tightly thinking about the things he'd done to me recently. Ever since he came into my life, things hadn't been the same again. He had disrupted my peace. I partly blamed myself for allowing greed to control me. If I hadn't been moved by his offer to give me a job and also to enjoy the luxury of living in his house, I wouldn't have been in this situation. No, I blame Harry more. He was the cause of everything. If he hadn't gotten in trouble with Ryker, none of this would have happened. I wouldn't have known who Ryker was or his club. Black Raven or whatever the name was. I wouldn't have to deal with his annoying behavior and that of his ex-girlfriend. They are annoying. All his family are annoying."You do know that you have been talking to yourself right?" Bella said taking a sip of her drink. I rolled my eyes. "I'm sure you've heard all that I said.""I don't think the problem is from Ryker alone." She said again intertwining her

    Lily“What is the meaning of what you just did?” I asked as Ryker put me down on my feet. From the moment, we left the club up to the way we returned home, my heart hadn't calmed down. It was hard to keep up while I was in his arms. First, the way he got too close to my face and stared into my eyes, deeply to the extent that I thought my heart would rip apart, and then again when we came home, he took me more by surprise when he picked me up in his arms. I didn’t know why he did that but when we entered the house, I got a bit of the situation after he told his father and his stepmother that I stayed up late at the office working and ended up falling asleep in the car on our way comity. His choice of words surprised me. Coming from the same person who lashed out at me last time for lying to his parents. But he was doing the same with an extra.“Be glad I carried you in my arms. Not everyone gets that opportunity .” He replied walking to the wardrobe. A chuckle didn’t fail to leave my

    Ryker"Here. These are the list of our players attending the charity event." I dropped the document in front of Lily's desk. "You can go through them to be familiar with their names. I would have them-""Is that my job?" She cut me off and said. "Whatever I said is what you would do. Manager or not, I would be the one to decide your task." I could see the surprise on her face at my words. I knew she knew nothing about the MC. Giving her all the tasks without proper supervision would not help matters. And Ralph wasn't helping matters. They always argue. Well, we do argue too. Surprisingly, she was a bit calm today. Even during breakfast, she didn't say much which the family members noticed as she always talks a lot. Father had asked her whether she was okay and she said she was.I didn't put that much thought into it because I knew she might be plotting another thing. I heard her talking to Hilda in the kitchen. "Alright then. Let's do it. It's just to store their names in my head righ

    LilyI woke up to find the spot next to me empty and neat. After our little argument with Ryker last night, he picked up the blanket and went straight to the couch. I know he hated my guts, I hated his too. He thinks because we are into the fake marriage stuff, he'd control me. I don't care how he thinks and don't give a damn about anyone. If someone disrespects me, I stand up for myself. It doesn't matter who that person was. Ryker included. I showered, dressed into a normal top and jeans, blow-dried my hair, and made some touches to my face before taking off downstairs. The family were already eating breakfast. They all looked as if they were happy being there when I knew deep down they hated being in the same space. Marcus and Ryker to be precise. They were both keeping on a fake facade. "Good morning Father." I greeted softly as I slid in next to Ryker. I intentionally pressed my hand into his and leaned. "Why didn't you wake me up?" I said enough for everyone to hear.Ryker look

    LilyMy heart didn't stop beating fast neither did my eyes diverted from Ryker. He likes me? As in he has feelings for me? I don't know why but I felt as If fireworks were happening in my stomach. The distance between our faces was just an inch. I could practically feel his breath on my face. “I do not want to think about anything else. But us,” He muttered through the thick silence. My eyes went down to his lips and back to his face. “Me too,” I slowly answered. We looked down at our lips back to our faces together. We knew exactly what we wanted. Ryker held the back of my head and covered my lips with his. The kiss started slow. I know it wasn't the first time but the case was different now. This is someone who confesses his love for me. A man who likes me. Should I let my heart loose and trust his words for once?I'm scared but I also want to experience the feeling of being loved for once. Yes. Every other thing will come later. I also cupped his face and parted my lips to give h

    Lily"Aren't we going home? Why are you following a different direction?" I asked seeing that Ryker had followed another route. He looked at the rear mirror. "We are being followed," My blood quickened up. "What? Why? Who is that?" I bombarded all at once turning around. "I don't know. Maybe a reporter. But I don't want to go home so they won't end up bombarding the house. Let's go somewhere for now,""Where? Don't tell me we are leaving the city," "Are you crazy? Why would I leave the city for something like this? I just want to wear him down. When he gets tired, he'll stop following," I rolled my eyes when he glared at me. "Must you use the word crazy? Why am I even talking to you," I turned my face to the windows. "Don't talk to me," I don't know how long Ryker had been driving but the reporter or whoever he is, didn't stop following. "Why is he so persistent," Ryker hissed out hitting the steering wheel. We stopped at the traffic. Ryker stared at the rear mirror in thinking.

    Lily "Ryker! Get me the fuck out of here!" I screamed at the top of my lungs kicking the door continuously with my foot. I was angry–no seething. Ryker is so annoying. I was mistaken when I said he might be a nice man. No, he's not. He's too arrogant and full of himself. We have been arguing for the past two days. I haven't forgiven him yet. He knew it. He hadn't explained better. He might have said sorry but that doesn't mean it came from his heart. "I was such a fool for believing him!" I kicked the door once more. "You and your lover can go fuck up yourselves!" I banged on the door once more. I felt like my heart would rip apart from anger. At this rate, I didn't care whether the family would see through everything. Hilda dares to mock me in front of the family and all he did was drag me out of there. So, I wouldn't fight with his lover. An annoyed laugh left my lips. "Suit you well then. Staying in the bathroom isn't a big deal," I was sure he could hear me from the room. I

    Lily"Who is that handsome man over there?" Stella, Bella's cousin gestured to Ryker with her eyes. Her question didn't bother me but the woman he was talking to. Who is she? She doesn't seem like a stranger to him because Ryker was smiling as he talked to her. "Oh him," Bella said, her eyes going to me. "Do you know him?" Stella's friend asked Bella twirling her hair while her eyes fixed on Ryker. There was no way anyone wouldn't notice she was interested in him. My eyes moved to Ryker then began walking towards our table. I felt my breathing hitch. The lady he was talking to hasn't taken her eyes off him "Damn, he's heading towards us," Stella nudged her friend. I wanted to roll my eyes but didn't get to do that as Ryker had already stopped in front of us. "Oh my God, he's right in front of us," They whispered to each other. "Hey ladies," He greeted, with a wave, his eyes shifting to me. "Hi Ryker," Bella waved back, forming a smile on her lips. But I didn't. "Hi, I'm Stella

    RykerI ain't even going to lie. I have been thinking about Lily lately. She has occupied nearly every part of my brain. I can't seem to go a minute without stealing a glance at her. I don't know whether she has used something on me. But matter of fact, she had trapped me. I wasn't able to concentrate on my work, not that I had any work to do. The sound of a knock on the door followed by Ralph snapped my attention back.I noticed Ralph and Lily don't fight each other like they used it back then. Lily sure had gotten recognition from the club already. "Sir," Ralph said, dropping his iPad in front of me. "These are the questions that you will be answering for the interview," Lily seemed curious to know what Ralph and I were talking about. I scrolled down the twenty questions. "Reduce them to 15 or 10. I can't answer this much. Ralph nodded, taking the iPad back. "Alright, Sir. And the next match had been scheduled. Next week in Amsterdam,""No problem. This isn't anything new. We wi

    Lily D-DayAnother match, another hope. In the last match that took place, I didn't give it much attention because I hadn't been used to the club yet. But now, all I can say is that I'm glad things are slowly working for me. Maybe. Just Maybe things will move steadily in the end.“Let's not forget guys! Our motto!” Marcus clapped his hands addressing the boys. I didn't expect him to get indulged in the affairs since he didn't take any lead last time. This time around, Ryker left everything in his hand. To be their leader. At some point, I understood why he did that. He wanted to know if Marcus would mess up the match. If he is in control, obviously he won't mess it up. If he wants to save his name. The boys began moving out of the garage one by one with my bikes. “All the best to us bro!” Marcus patted Ryker's shoulder before taking off too. Ryker rolled his eyes in response. “You know ... maybe he had started coming around,” I said, taking a step forward and folding my arms acro

    LilyI don't know how Ryker was able to stay calm after saying what he said but my heart wasn't stable. I wanted to move away from him but lost the strength to. Ryker held my gaze with an unreadable expression on his face. And the truth of it was I liked how he looked at me. As if I was the only thing lookable in the world. His eyes then shifted down to my lips and lingered there for the longest time. I literally held my breathing when he whispered, "I want to kiss you," He repeated for the second time.I don't think he needed permission to do that. We might not know how exactly we ended up liking being close to each other like this but who cares? The moment is all that matters. "Do it then," I answered.His gaze held mine once more. For a brief second before he captured my lips into a sensational kiss. I responded with much intensity. Ryker pulled me to him and deepened the kiss. I like the taste of his lips on mine...I like how he held me in his arms and kissed me...I don't mind

    Lily"Bella! What's taking you so long to finish cooking the noodles!" I frustratingly yelled out. Bella had been in the kitchen for over thirty minutes. I didn't know instant noodles take that much time. I tried to concentrate on the sport showing on the TV. Lately, I have taken a liking for sports–racing to be precise. Maybe because I've been liking how Ryker and his boy race around the club. Bella dropped a pot of the sizzling hot noodles on the table in front of me. "First of all, this is not your house. You can come and order me around. And lower down the TV volume!" Bella looked like a mother scolding her child. That only made me laugh. "Do you think this is funny?" She needed to know that acting arrogant didn't fit her. "No Ma'am. Thank you for the noodles," I was about to pick up the chopsticks when Bella blocked me. "You are not eating it now,"My eyes darted left to right. "Why though?"She picked up the remote control, lowered the volume, and crashed next to me. "Unless

    RykerWe had barely three days left before the match, and I reminded the boys what's needed to do. A match with the Red Robin Club wasn't anything new but after following Lily’s idea, we found out they had trained their boys and even signed more skilled bikers. That doesn't bother me much because I know what I am capable of doing. My eyes shifted to Lily's desk. She had just gotten paid and left the office without a word. Well, I knew she had been looking forward to her first payment. And I won't be surprised if all will go to her brother. She told me that he had apologized. She doesn't have to say it for me to know how much she loves her brother. There's always this feeling when you have a supportive sibling or parents. I do not have any of that…Maybe my father but he can't fill up the empty void my mother left. I know for a fact that it will always sadden me whenever I think about how soon she left us.The room felt dull without Lily's presence or her glare at me. To be honest, m
