Ryker15th October. This day is unforgettable in my life. It is a day I tend to feel all the weight of the world pressed onto me. My mother's death anniversary. I always buried myself with work so the day would move faster. So that I won't think about how much loneliness I felt whenever I remember she was no more. As usual, the family visits her grave. It was my father and I before. But since Marcus and his mother came into the family, we all visit together. It had become a tradition. I respect father for remembering his late wife despite how he pisses me off sometimes. It showed his wife is still in his heart.However, things were different now. Lily and Hilda tagged along. Lily had no idea where we were going. I only told her to wear formal black outfits we would be going out with the family. I could feel her gaze on me as we arrived at the cemetery. I know she’d attack me later on.The truth of the matter was, that whenever it's a day to the death anniversary, I tend to be curled
LilyI woke up with a headache banging my head. I slowly sat up, held my head with my hands, and allowed my eyes to clear from the sleep. I looked around the bed and then at my outfit. My head snapped towards a clearing of voice. And then I saw him. Ryker standing a few miles away from me, arms folded across his chest. "And what are you doing there staring at me?" I blurted the words out. I discarded the bed covers ready to get down the bed when I saw that my legs were bare. The baggy top I was wearing didn't cover my lap.Wait....Last night Bella and I went to downtown nightclub. We were enjoying our drinks before Ryker showed up and then...I covered my mouth with my palms and avoided eye contact with him. I heard his footsteps moving towards me. His foot was the first thing I saw because my eyes were cast down. "Are you back to your senses or do you need me to dip your head inside the water again." came his deep voice. Was I imagining or does his voice came out pissed.And what di
Lily My eyes kept on glancing over at Ryker who was busy looking at his desktop screen. I wonder if he was as restless as I was. Or was I the only one who found it difficult to fall asleep last night? The memories of how his hands felt on my skin didn't leave my head. I know it meant nothing but I felt like it meant everything. It's unlike me to get carried away like that but Ryker made it so. He made me feel as if all I needed was for him to touch and break me down. No one has ever looked at me so intensely like that. When he said he knows me better than I do, I felt it deep down. Like, how did he manage to see through me? To see the walls I've built around me. How? This week was going to be a busy one. The club would be attending two matches in the month. With two weeks interval. I haven't still gotten the hang of the club but I can say I know what to do as a manager. How to accomplish the tasks that I was supposed to.It was lunchtime. I planned to meet up with Bella. I picked
RykerEvery part of my body wanted to kiss every inch of her body. I didn't know I so much craved her body until then. With our faces barely an inch away from each other, I realized how badly I wanted to have a taste of her lips. The same mouth she use in saying crazy things and threatening people with. Claiming her lips for the first time felt like she had struck a part of me. As if she had control over my body. But then again, I couldn't go any further. I knew letting loose wasn't part of the agreement. Maybe having a taste wouldn't be bad but I couldn't go further. I had to leave to get some fresh air. I ignored my father and his wife seated in the living room and made my way out.I knew I needed a fresh breath of air. And Ace house sounded like the perfect place to go. I hopped on my bike and alighted out of the house. A look of curiosity was plastered on Ace's face as he opened the door for me. "Why are you here?" Came his question. I didn't answer immediately and pushed passed
Lily"The number you are trying to call is not reachable at the moment, please try again later.""You must be fucking with me, Harry." I cursed as I dropped the phone on the couch and raked my hands through my hair in frustration. I returned home from my night part-time job to find it all messed up and empty. First, the spoiled brat twin brother of mine made all the mess. Secondly, he was nowhere to be found. At the late hours of the night. All Harry does is use his allowance on video games and betting with his friends. No one frustrates my life pass Harry. No matter how much I scold and kick him, it doesn't stop him from messing around. He does it in school and at home too. Move around with dangerous gangs. I can never forget my first encounter with the gang leader. Ryker Oscar, the notorious and most popular bad boy in the whole high school. I was going to take out customer's orders at the restaurant I work as a waitress. I mistakenly spilled the milkshake on his shoes. Topped wit
Lily"Excuse me, but can you repeat what you said?" I pressed. I don't think I've heard him clearly. He didn't just say I should be his girlfriend? Harry groaned and tried to free himself from the big man's hold. "Have a seat first.""I am not here to sit, Ryker," I replied. "Tell me, what did my brother take that belonged to you." I folded my arms across my chest. Deep down, I was burning. I just needed a little push and I will unleash everything. But first I want to hear what my brother did that he wants me to bear the consequences. "You know...." He trailed off. "I now understand why both of you are crazy. You and your twin brother have a very big mouth. The same mouth you used in telling me shit the other day." "I like that." He mused again, the corner of his lips going up. "Can you drop that weird smirk of yours and start talking." I knew I was in a dangerous territory but I had worked on being a tough girl over the years. Things like this might scare me off but I know how to
Ryker "Are you sure involving the girl won't cause us problems later on?" Ralph, my close friend and most trusted partner in the biker gang pointed out. I was standing by the window, gazing outside. The sky was dark and carried so many stars in it. I didn't expect the situation to escalate to this too. I just got my heart betrayed by the girl I thought would stand by my side. The same girl I pledged to love and protect with everything in me. The same girl that I did everything for. Only for me to catch her with my stepbrother in bed. That betrayal didn't stop there. It turned out they had been having an affair behind my back. I always knew Marcus didn't like me. He showed his dislikes the very first day father brought him and his mother into the family and introduced him as my brother. I never thought father had other family apart from me and mother. He never mentioned anything while she was alive. Until after her death. A few months after her passing, he brought them in. We were
Lily All eyes were on me as I sat down on the seat offered to me by Ryker’s father. No one needed to tell me who he was because the resemblance was there. Ryker’s surprised feature was still there. I bet he wasn’t expecting me to come off like that. I was surprised at my new way of dressing.When Ralph came to pick me up, he had asked me to wear something professional yet classy since I would be meeting Ryker’s family as his fiancee. And from the clothes I have in my wardrobe, none would fit the classy theme he wanted. So, I asked him to take me to a shopping mall. An outfit caught my attention which was way professional and classy, that was what brought the idea to dress just like them. A gang member.The silence lingered in the room until Phillip Oscar, Ryker’s father spoke up, his deep voice resonating through the room. I could understand why he was a leader of a gang. The aura around him looked strong.Ralph had briefed me about Ryker’s family. Not much but enough for me to put u
