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
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
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 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
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"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
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"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.
RykerTwo days after I met with Lily at the club, my heart hurt at the fact that she was angry with me.I was sitting indoors while Marcus already left for the club.Ever since I was forced to step down from partaking in the club activities, I haven't visited the club cause there was nothing I would be doing there.Marcus solely made decisions and enforced them without asking for the opinions of the gang members.I was so engrossed with my thoughts that I didn't realize when Hilda had sat beside me.I only jolted out of my thoughts when I felt a hand on my dick. I flinched and shot her a murderous glare, but she smiled in return."Relax!" she tried to rub her filthy hands on my chest but I pushed them away. "You are not allowed to touch me. Only Lily can touch me that way." I said.She smiled and then frowned. "I was there before Lily. Lily should know that." "Lily knows that you ditched me for my brother. Why are you still attracted to me? Why won't you move on?" I queried her but
LilyRyker just stood there. He stared, his face devoid of any emotions. My cheeks burned in remembrance of the former Ryker who would have come hovering over my face, all smiling, and praising my beauty.I felt ice spreading through my stomach at his cold attitude towards me. That was it. He just walked away from me without uttering a word or so.Bella quietly pulled me alongside her to a table where she demanded the steward.She ordered cognac and a cocktail, "Was that Ryker, Bella?" I crooned in askance, slightly lifting my finger behind her. Bella studied my face for a while then said. "That might not be Ryker. You came here for a party. Just face it." she smirked.At that moment, I resist the urge not to stare in his way. I stole a glimpse at him, his cold eyes met mine.I swallowed hard, trying not to reveal my anger but his cold stare of nonrecognition of me ignited and infuriated me.If he could act this way then I'm surely going to let him know that I can act this way too
LilyTears cascaded down my cheeks, as grief gripped my heart. Never in a thousand years would I have imagined that Ryker would ever raise his voice at me.Bella was stunned as she watched and dragged my bag inside. She hurried to take my bags from me.She pulled me into a hug and I sobbed incessantly, wetting her shoulders while her hands caressed my back."It's okay." she shushed me. "Harry gets Lily some water," she said.Bella led me to the couch, running her hands over my hair smoothly, brushing strands of hair that stuck to my face behind my ears."Who dares to hurt my princess?" she bellowed but I was still crying.No matter how I strived to stop myself from crying, my words always stalled with tears rolling down my cheeks.~~~The tears were over. It was me against the world. Bella and Harry sat across me, their gaze scrutinizing me."Can you just tell us what happened?" Bella said with a hint of impatient in her voice."Harry, how do I know if my phone is tapped?" I asked in
RykerShit! Adrenaline ran in my veins as I watched the video of my proposal to Lily. Someone had recorded it, and the voice note?How possible could it have been?Someone must have tapped my phone or Lily's phone."Why would you lie to us just for you to remain as the leader of the club?" My father seethed through his gritted teeth. Veins popped out of his head, and a hint of dissatisfaction was evident in his tone.I felt so bad for lying to him but didn't regret it either.Bloody bastard. This act must have been done by Marcus or Hilda.Someone must have cloned her phone. I glared hard at Marcus and he had this satisfactory look on his face, he didn't react but his face was hard.Hilda was grinning, and beaming with excitement."For this act of yours. You'll have to step down as the leader of the Black Raven. You're disqualified from leading them into destruction." He said.My wall almost crumbled but my inner strength was holding it."Marcus will be taking over and you're not all
LilyFucking bitch! I sneered and chuckled.Ordering me around like a lost sheep?What's happening tomorrow at Hallo? Is she going on a date? I took my phone and texted her, inquiring if she was going on a date but she replied with a middle finger.I scoffed and hissed, returning my attention to the desktop.My phone rang and it was Bella. "Lily I don't know if you could come over to assist me in getting a dress?""Right now?" "Yes." "Never mind. Just leave it and enjoy your day." She said and hung up the call.A faint chuckle escaped from my lips. Bella is in love. I prayed it clicked this time around.I stood, striding to the door. I yanked the door open and slowly closed it behind me walking to the kitchen.Hilda was there but her face was tightened. She was on a phone call and whatever the person was telling her over the line wasn't situated well with her."Hello? Hello?" She repeated then angrily slammed her hands in the air. She turned to me and walked over with a pitiful f
RykerMy gaze fixed on the small red box which sat on the desk in my front. I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness.Inside the box was the diamond ring which was intended for Lily. I'll be proposing to her in the next few days.I was restless with several thoughts running through my mind. I've been searching for the perfect plan for how I'm going to make this proposal a memorable one for Lily.Lily is special, and so I wanted this proposal to be special, romantic, and memorable for her. I had considered proposing to her at home during dinner, but I couldn't risk my family knowing that our marriage was fake. Moreover, I doubt if it will ever sweep Lily off her feet.I shrugged the idea off and hissed. My fingers propped against my chin and tapped slowly.Ralph walked in just as I was lost in thought and he slouched into the swivel chair in front of me."What are you thinking about?" he pried.I was quiet for a while before I sighed and answered him. "Thinking abo
HildaAnger pushed up my throat as my mind raced over the last few hours.Why is she always in the spotlight stealing away my shine? I have some tips on Lily, and I just need more hands to dig out the truth and then she will be disgraced alongside Ryker.I paced around the room, muttering some curse and jabbing my elbow in the air at any slightest remembrance of her.I hate to see her. I hate to see her smiling face. I longed and yearned for her downfall if only my wishes could come through at the moment.The door creaked open, and I didn't bother to glance cause I already knew it was Marcus.His coarse hands gripped my tummy, pulling me over to his side. At the effect of the force, my butt pressed against his groin and a loud groan escaped from his lips.He brought his mouth closer to my nape and had his tongue run on it for a while. At the effect of his running tongue, my blood coursed and pulsated, and I felt my slick closing and pouting. I felt liquid substance pouring out from
Lily"Was there a word of poison from my mouth?" I countered, meeting their gaze, my shoulders high like an eagle.There was a faint silence and then, Helen voice shattered the silence."Your arrogance," she paused taking a spoonful out of my meal. She chewed slowly and held my gaze with her blue eyes. "Need to be checked." I didn't utter a word, nor did I look at her again the moment my eyes lowered to the plate in front.I ate peacefully and drank so much water. "The food tastes great," I commented."The maid was sacked." Hilda purred the moment she pushed the chair back and sat in it. She's changed into another beautiful dress and has a satisfactory smile spreading at her lips. "Why?""She made it look like I had intentionally tripped her to pour the soup on your dress. Thanks to Star, she confessed that she was jealous of your beauty, hence had to ruin your look."The story looked too spicy to be swallowed. Poor soul. Helen and Hilda might have coerced that girl into attestatio
LilyIt's past three days since Hilda hinted at exposing my secret. I could have approached her to inquire about the secret she knew about me, but she would have been impressed at my vulnerability and curiosity.She might used my curiosity against me and right now I don't want to be at her mercy.Each time I walked around in the house, I was always with Helen and Hilda's pair of glaring and vicious eyes.Their facial countenance always sells them out. They lack the skills to hide their gossip about me.First, it's their stare then accompanied by their distant and sardonic laugh.I tried as much to be fazed by their silly behaviors toward me. Whatever their plans might be, I refused to be dragged into their mud.Ryker is busy with the preparation ahead of the tournament. From the news, I heard this tournament will be more tougher, and crucial than the first tournament.National tournament.Marcus's actions didn't seem suspicious although there's no need to lower my guard from him.Sudd
