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
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
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 to find it all messed up and empty. First, the spoiled brat brother of mine made all the mess. Secondly, he was nowhere to be found. At the late hours of the night. I work my ass off to bring food to the table but 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. Tell me why I won't get agitated at every little thing. Including the messed up situation at work today. After a series of job hunting, I finally landed a job at a jewelry store as a jewelry consultant at Luke Crown Jewelers, one of the popular and best jewelry stores in New York. Despite it being the best store in the city, the p
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 wife? Harry groaned and tried to free himself from the big man's hold. "Have a seat first." "I am not here to sit, young man," 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're sharp. I like that." He mused, 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 woman over the years. Things like this might scare me off but I know how to get out of the situation. "Okay. I will tell you." All of a sudden, my throat went dry when he sat up. I thought I was tall but the man making rounds towards me was way tall
Ryker "Are you sure involving the woman won't cause us problems later on?" Ralph, my right-hand man 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 woman I thought would stand by my side. The same woman I pledged to love and protect with everything in me. The same woman that I did everything for. Only for me to catch her with my stepbrother in bed. On the same night, I was going to propose. I had Ralph get me an expensive diamond ring all in the name of cherishing the love we shared through our three years together. That three years went down the drain after I witnessed that devastating scene. 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 hi
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
RykerI should have known striking a deal with someone I know little about would cause me problems. I was so desperate to find a solution to my problems and didn't bother to do a background check on her first. Because why in hell would someone make up a lie like that? Firstly, she dressed up like a gangster baddie which was unexpected. Secondly, she fed all sorts of lies to my father about how we met. I was going to be the one to do the talking when she arrived. But I was shocked when she came in dressed like that. Although I would say the gangster outfit fits her red hair. Another thing that shocked me was how she told my father that I was attracted to her red hair. I didn't even pay much attention to that. She's too spiteful for my liking. And now that I am slowly getting what I want, I can't afford mistakes. Not with Marcus and Hilda making their way towards us. I took a step forward and circled my hand around Lily's waist taking her by surprise. Her eyes widened at my action. Sh
Lily"Harry!" "Get your ass out here!" I shouted raking my fingers through my hair in frustration. Its too early for my brother and I to start a fight but every time, he pissed me off, one way or the other. He doesn't even care about the mess he put me into. The mess I got into because of his reckless behavior. I had a slight bit of regret inside me last night as I saw the way Ryker's family are. For him to use me just to get back at his ex-girlfriend added more to my turmoil. I never bother about any man, I don't even give a damn but I wouldn't want someone to take advantage of me. "Why are you shouting my name as if I'm a thief." I didn't hesitate to smack his head. "Are you crazy? What is all this mess." I gestured to the unkempt pillows and snack bags."Oh is this why you're shouting? You can sort it out of course." he proceeded to walk pass me but I dragged him back. "I didn't ask you to leave. Where are you going?"I accessed his body from head down. He wasn't in his school

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
