Ryan...

I almost got caught but thanks to Laura. She called Rhia and saved me. Well, I knew that it was not the end, it was the beginning. Anyway, in the morning, after talking with Aaron once, I was able to reckon his character.

I was right. Aaron, this guy was too good to play with. He was rude, arrogant. Of course, I would not have cared if it was that way only with me but not with Laura. He was disrespecting her in front of us as well and that was really too much. When he extended his hand, I refused to handshake, instead,  I hugged him.

A gasp was heard. He was surprised, unable to react. I could understand all of them were surprised. But I controlled myself and patted his back. "I don't know what issues you are going through. But there is nothing between Laura and me. And yeah...." I paused and let out a soft sneer. "Respect her." With that, I turned my back against them and left the spot.

"Ryan!" Rhia kept calling and following me to the car.<

    Laura...Ryan brought me to his mother's cabin in the hospital. Literally, I didn't come here to kill times. I came here because I really felt bad for Ryan. I told grandfather we have plans. I really didn't want to use him to meet Aaron ever. But since I already did, as an apology, I decided to spend some time with him."Mom. I am here." Ryan had a smile as he sat beside his mother. She was lying on the bed just like the last time. I wondered how beautiful she was when she was young and healthy because even now she looked so elegant.He spared me a glance and motioned me to the chair next to his. I hunched on it and smiled slightly. Wait, why did I?I cleared my throat. "I have something to ask you. It's...""About sleeping together?" He cut me off and held his mother's hand, gaze fixed at her face. He was acting so cold suddenly.I rolled my eyes as my cheeks flushed red. "You broke the rule." It was clearly mentioned in the contract

  • Billionaire Bad Boy   What have I done?

    Ryan...I was pissed off by myself and the motive wasn't to piss her off, but since it did, I just couldn't miss to enjoy seeing her slightly stunned face after addressing her as my friend.Laura had taken me too easy to handle. But I was not like that even in a second of my entire life. People used to have a hard time having me around. Not because, I was rude or distressing, it was all because they were gracious and aware that it will certainly be a waste of time to think that they can have my heart or mind changed.As I drove her off home and sat back inside the car again, she knocked on the closed glass with a frown. Knowing she had something to say, I pressed on the button and the window hurled open."Where are you going?" She gave me a confused look.I tilted my head to her side. "Why?" Since when did she become a nagging wife?This time, she seemed furious. Her features contorted into a mask of rage. "I told you to take me with you whe

    Ryan...Alex's face washed blank when I said I need to leave in the middle of the conversation. "Are you serious, dude?" His lips parted open."Not bad. I think he is missing his wife." The old nagging man spat out. "Or are you still seeing other girls? If...""Mr Xin, for God's sake, we are in a restaurant, don't start now. You are my father's adviser, not mine." I cut him off. I was tired of this man's advice. Whenever we met, he never skipped his lectures, not even once.Mr Xin let out a soft chuckle. "Let's say, I am delivering your dad's speech." That was impossible. My dad never said a word about my life. He never bothered to say. Nevertheless, he loved me a lot and gave me almost everything. "Wuxia Orphanage will be having an event soon. And your dad wants our company to donate. Please, sign this paper." Mr Xin continued.Inhaling a deep breath, I glanced down at the papers that he'd given me to sign. "Why didn't he come?" When Mr Xin called

    Laura"Can you please turn the music off? It's so annoying." I blurted out, sneaking a glance at the driver. Grandfather's father driver was just like him, depressing as hell. He had been driving the car so fast even after telling him to slow down. Above that, he played some bedtime 1980s music like I want to know what love is, I'm on fire, put some sugar on me and now the careless whisper. Like what the heck? Where was his mannerism?Instead of turning it off, the driver decreased the volume. "I am sorry, young lady. The controller doesn't work. So I cannot stop this player until the car is stopped."Ryan who was sitting beside me let out a soft sigh. "So where are you planning to go?""What do you mean? The airport, of course." I tilted my head. Hadn't dad already tell him?He puzzled as if he didn't believe my words. "You are not really planning to go to the Maldives, are you?" His lips parted.Look, who was freaking out?I nodded.

    RyanI preferred people around me, to be honest. If they couldn't be honest, at least they should be silent instead of lying.And I liked it when Laura was silent to the question. She didn't answer, yet did with her silence.Wait, I wasn't frustrated already. I just liked to confuse her, I liked to see the puzzle face of hers. I liked the way she blushes, I liked the way she stutters and gets nervous."Now... I think I like her." The words slipped out of my mouth, adapting from my thoughts."Who?" Laura asked as she adjusted the seat belt. We were on the plane, thrown out of the car. Yes, her grandfather's plan was successful. However, what her dad said was right, if we were two minutes late, we would have missed the flight. But... that would have been better for me. For us.Dismissing my thoughts, I smiled at her. "I thought it's none of your concerns?" She had been saying it was none of her concerns from the day I met her. But now I realiz

    Laura...Except for the eating time and using the washroom, Ryan was asleep all the time, at least he pretended to. He was quite good at it.We arrived at our resort at night. A woman named Ms Ara was waiting for us in front of the reception. She escorted us to the villas' area of the resort.The entire place looked so beautiful. Even though it was night, I could see the resort was built using local materials, bright colours and stylish furniture with the interiors designed to reflect the Maldivian culture.The roars of the sea brought a smile to my face as we walked to the overwater sunset pool villa. Grandfather already told me about this beautiful villa. He and my grandmother had their honeymoon here."Please, call me if you need any help." Ms Ara said after she handed me the keys to the villa."Thank you." I replied with a smile. I realized I have been doing it a lot. Where was old cold me?Ryan grabbed the keys from me and swung

    RyanDrowsiness? That was long gone. There was no sleep left in my eyes when I rolled on the bed and saw Laura enjoying the seaside alone. It was midnight. I wondered since when she was sitting there.In the soft breezes, her hair was flying over, covering her face. She didn't even bother to settle them aside. Her gaze was fixed at the illimitable horizon.She had got something miraculous, something different, something fascinating. She wasn't ruthless, she wasn't strong – not at all. She had the most fragile heart that was broke apart. It was all circumstance's fault, not her.I pulled myself up from the bed and mutely, walked to the deck to take in the phenomenal view.With every step closer, my heart vibrated faster. On the lounger, she was sitting with her knees folded and had her hand wrapped around them.I wasn't dreaming. She wasn't a hallucination.

In his embrace, I felt secure, safe and warm even though it was too cold.How could I push him away when I was the one who enjoyed it the most?Cringing at the thought, I slightly tilted my head and he buried his face more in the crook of my neck. His warm lips slowly brushed against my neck and his breath fanned upon my ear.I felt heat ran through my every spine whilst the sensation bumped on my skin, making me have goosebumps."Laura." He whispered softly.I tried to look at his face. "Yes."After a long silence, he pulled his face up and met my gaze. "I am a virgin." He sounded real but I was not going to be fooled.He had many girlfriends. And, that day Elita said they spent the night together. "I don't feel like joking around."

    Ryan...In the evening, we reached the west club where the party was supposed to be held. The club was significant, the music was all over the floors with colorful spotlights. Only a few people were hooking up, others were busy dancing, drinking. The aura seemed so typical and as a result, I doubted if she had pranked us or not.My suspicion came to a conclusion when I found Serene dancing behind Aaron. They both looked like two grown-up drunkard people enjoying the beats in their own worlds, not caring about anyone. I was right, it was just a regular party. Nothing was special."What are you thinking?" Beside me, Laura looked up at me as she wrapped her hands around my arm. She got my heart beating loud. It was new and foreign among these regular stuffs.Swallowing a gulp, I met her gaze. "Shall we go in?" She nodded and we started approaching the couple. But before we could do so, noticing us, Serene stopped dancing and ran to us, leaving her fiance on

    Laura...Richard! I had heard this surname before. It was like years ago and I was quite sure that I did. His face wasn't a vivid memory but the name was. How come I didn't ask his full name yet? It was embarrassing."Ryan... have you ever seen me before?" I asked after we entered the little, cute villa.He nodded, placing his jacket on the couch. "Yeah. Of course."My jaw tightened. "When?"He remained silent for a while before parting his lips again. "A long ago."Of course, it was a long ago and that was why I couldn't remember it. "Where was it?"This time, he chuckled at my curiosity. But it seemed so dry and unreal. "In the club."I narrowed my gaze, realizing the playfulness of his voice. "No... before that!"He didn't reply and walked towards the mini handmade kitchen where he grabbed a glass and placed it on the cabinet. My gaze followed him quietly."Laura?" He called me as he opened the cap of the juice

    Ryan..."Laura," I called her from behind when she was walking towards our villa at a fast pace. After she saw the girl, her face had been so straight and even more expressionless.She wasn't okay. I could feel her. I certainly could feel the pain she was going through. And I wished I could lessen it. Though she might pretend that she was okay, I assumed she wasn't."What?" She didn't look back and continued walking.I had been struggling to reach her. So rushing to her, I held her hand and decreased her speed a bit. "I do have long legs. But I don't have much energy to chase you, Laura.""Who told you to chase me, anyway? Chase the girl, instead." She said, shooting me a murderous glare.I clenched my jaw in confusion. "Which one?" I didn't remember talking about chasing any girl before."The girl who was so happy to see you right now. And you too." She mumbled, looked really pissed off. There wasn't anything to get pissed or get mad

    Laura...I was stiffened in place seeing Aaron in front of me. What was he doing here? Did he know I am here?It was too surprising to believe that it's just a coincidence."Laura." Aaron finally parted his glued lips. He was as shocked as I was. "What are you doing here?"I was supposed to ask that question. Instead, I felt guilty and started stuttering. "I-I... am here for my honeymoon.""What?" Aaron almost shouted as he stepped close to me, glaring at me murderously. "What did you say?" His voice sounded fierce.I garnered my courage and dared to look into his eyes. "What are you doing here?""Don't change the damn topic. With whom you are here?" He again shouted and it brought tears to my eyes.The people around us were staring at me. How could he always humiliate me like this?"Of course, her husband." Ryan was the one to retort as he walked by my side. My heart felt at ease, it really did. "With whom do you

    Ryan...In the morning, the view of the room appeared more beautiful. The sunlight that drifted through the curtains kissed Laura's sleeping face.The sleeping beauty was my wife. I suddenly felt so proud of myself. Her long lashes were perfectly shut, her cherry pink lips were slightly parted. The white shirt hung off her thin frame and the cotton shorts showed off her long legs. And the clothes were still there because at night, I didn't touch her. I really didn't. I had gone too far but came out to be lucky enough that she didn't slap me after I hugged her.Instead of beating around the bushes with my hug, I couldn't reckon why she cuddled me when she was asleep. It was overwhelming once again."What are you staring at?" At her sudden voice, I almost jumped. She had her eyes closed. Jeez. How did she notice? Or was she pretending to sleep?I exhaled a relieved breath and slipped out of the blanket. "Why didn't you tell me that you are awak
