"My God, Luke! Why did you allow her to leave?" Luke's chamber was filled with Hannah's shrill yells. " She assaulted me and even pulled my hair." L uke held a glass of champagne in his right hand while stroking his temple with the other. Hannah continues to ramble on about Ryleigh even though hours have passed.

"You should've let me knock the hell out of her, or you should've punched her, right?" she asked Luke as she approached him. "Why did you let it pass, honey?"

“Seriously? Are we going to dispute this, Hannah?"

Hannah pouted as she sat alongside Luke. "Why don't you call me baby?" She is currently beginning her tantrum.

"You were to blame, Hannah." Luke added, "And don't mess things up between you and Rye."

“No! She initially tugged my hair—"

"Fuck it, Hannah! What are your thoughts about me? A blind person? And if you continue to say it was Rye's fault, I suppose I'll just sleep in the guest room—"

"Why would you defend Rye?" Hannah stood before him with her arms crossed.

    As anticipated, Hannah told Luke everything about her, and Ryleigh heard the prostitute disparage her in front of Luke.She then looked into Luke's eyes and saw and felt his lunacy. However, she continued to vacuum the carpeted floor.Earlier, she performed a few errands, and vacuuming will be her last chore for the day. Luke had just returned home, and Hannah was also there waiting for him."Check out that lady, babe." She heard Hannah, but she never had the courage to look at them; instead, she rushed quickly to complete what she had begun.Hannah continues to speak, and she does not know if that woman is literally stupid because she sees Rye in the room, but continues bringing her up. Before looking at Hannah and Luke, Rye switched off the vacuum and placed it in its proper location.Prior to leaving the living room and ascending the stairs, she lifts her left brow at the woman.She had had enough of the abuse she was receiving. She may become weary, but she will never give up on L

    The next morning, Ryleigh awoke feeling dreadful. The muscle in her abdomen still hurts, although not as much as it did yesterday.She will face punishment from him regardless of how hard she attempts to be tough and ignore everything. Now, she had no choice but to comply with Hannah. Oh God, she wanted to end it all and just divorced him, but when Lucas reveals his other side — where he demonstrates caring — not literally, but Rye can sense it via his voice and actions — she will end up trying to be tough every day. Finding herself repeatedly submissive to him.She had just cleansed her face before leaving her room for the kitchen. She observed Lucas and Hannah enjoying coffee and conversing while seated across from one another.Rye greeted them with "Good morning," which attracted their attention.The cold emerald eyes of Lucas met hers. She smiled at him, but he remained expressionless and turned his attention back to Hannah."What's the morning like when we see you?" Hannah is now

    "Did you see her expression?" Abby asked as soon as they entered her room. The woman laughed out loud as she dragged her baggage to Ryleigh's bed and sat down on it."Abby, you shouldn't do that. Hannah will tell Luke about it."Abby ceased laughing and regarded her. "Are you frightened?"Rye brought the wooden chair to himself and sat down. "It's not quite that—""What then? I was aware of it. That Luke is physically and emotionally harmful to you. Take a look at your cheek."Rye expelled a heavy sigh. With their separation, Abby observed it once more."I'm to blame."Abby was aware that her laughter was mocking. "In their perspective, it's always your fault because you let them—I don't know Rye, I've told you I won't keep asking you about it. Because no matter how much I try to persuade you to leave him, you won't listen to me, correct?""Time flies so fast and I love him as much as I want to obey my fa—""Stupid love! Pathetic. You love him so deeply, huh? That you allow him to dam

    Abby observed Ryleigh and Hannah sitting across from each other in the living room when she descended the stairs. When Rye noticed Abby, she stood up and approached her. She inquired as to what occurred, but Abby simply smiled at her.A few minutes later, Lucas fell to the ground, and Hannah hurried towards him."We will be leaving this evening for a week in Florida," he remarked.Abby simply calmed Rye and reassured her that everything is alright when she was unsure about her emotions.Later that day, at eight o'clock in the evening, Lucas and Hannah left the residence. The man did not even bid her farewell. Rye wanted to look him in the eyes at that time, but he seemed to disregard her when Abby spoke with him.Immediately after climbing into bed, Rye spoke with Abby."What did you do, Abby?"Abby, who was applying moisturizer on her face, stopped and gazed at her."What do you intend?""Why it feels like Luke's ignori

    "Your idiotic friend refuses to sign the papers!" While Lucas was speaking over someone on the phone, he blurted out. As soon as Ryleigh left the room, Lucas dialed Abby's number.She is the reason he has been ignoring Rye for days. And he has tremendous self-control not to touch Rye."Just make an effort to persuade her, Carter. I have completed my portion and she has requested a month."“What? If I cannot obtain her signature, I may as well torment her till she relents.""Don't you dare, Carter !” Abby cautioned with clenched teeth."However, it is the only one I am familiar with. Damn it!" Lucas expletive and rubbed his hand across his face in frustration. He cannot explain why he is following Abby. Perhaps one of the reasons is that he trusts the girl and believes she can force Rye to divorce him.The scenarios, though, are driving him nuts. He desires to touch Rye and punish her, but Abby's threat prevents him from doing so."As I stated, Carter. I can eliminate you in an instant

    Ryleigh had no idea how she escaped from that room. She does not appear to recognize her surroundings; everything appears to be a dream to her. And at that moment, she realized she was sitting in the passenger seat while Abby was driving. Her tears deafened her. Everyone has felt it at some point: the pain of letting go, which lingers like a subtle poison. One of the hardest things in the world is letting go of someone you actually care about. Unfortunately, sometimes... it is required. She must take immediate action if she intends to move forward with her life and find happiness elsewhere, as the grief she feels from letting go of Luke can prevent her from moving forward. Nonetheless, can she? "Rye," Abby said. "' Could you hear me?" But Rye did not answer and continued to stare out the window. Abby shook her head and kept driving. Abby does not know whether Luke opened the brown packet she left behind as she ran into their home. Rye was mistaken in her belief that Abby had le

    Ryleigh was ecstatic when she was offered the position, and the manager informed her that she can begin immediately. Additionally, the timing is ideal because Abby is available and able to perform the babysitting duties. She also informed her friend that her shift is from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. every weekday, but that it will change the following week due to the fact that Shine and Dime staff usually rotate shifts.Abby remarked, when she carried Amelia while wearing her uniform, that she looked "sexy.""Do you not believe it is too short for me?" Rye turned around to face the full-length mirror and stated, "It should be below the knee, but mine is above."Abby emitted a quiet chuckle prior to speaking. " It's because you're taller, and it's perfectly OK."Rye expelled a heavy sigh. “Y-Yeah.” Rye removed her outfit and replaced it with jeans and a black top. She was merely trying on her new uniform to see if it fits her properly. However, she discovers that it is somewhat too short for her

    Ryleigh's daughter was already asleep and Abby was waiting for her in their tiny living room when she arrived home. Rye felt the fatigue of her first day of work when she threw herself onto the sofa, rested her head on the headrest, and massaged her temples while closing her eyes. Abby said, "Tiring?" as she handed Rye a glass of water she obtained upon his arrival. She said, "Not really," while maintaining her position. Abby sat opposite her. “So…” “Hmmm…” The rye moaned. "Have you seen him?" Her brows were wrinkled. She opened her eyes and then sat up straight. “Him? Who?” Abby's eyes rolled. “Duh! Of course, Ace!" Rye emitted a gentle giggle. “Yeah.” Abby proceeded onward. "How is he doing? He's quite attractive and gorgeous, right? And his physique, dammit, that looks delicious, right? Right?” Rye has no idea why Abby is acting strangely toward a man. And why does she have the impression that Abby is faking her enthusiasm? "According to my co-waitress, he dislikes femal

    Ryleigh’s POV Months have already passed, yet Lucas is still not awake. There has been no advancement. And I almost gave up, but I am aware that he is fighting. He is attempting to return for me... for us. And every idea of losing him nearly rends me apart. How many drugs has he received by injection? I lost count. I pray every day and every moment, but especially while I am by his side, holding his hand, pressing it, and conversing with him. I am aware that there is yet hope. And I believe that miracles are possible. A month ago, our daughter became one year old. We celebrated it in his room, attempting to lighten the mood on that particular day, but we all knew it was futile. Lucas is laying on a hospital bed with equipment inserted into various portions of his body, and he is sleeping so soundly that we fear he will pass away at any time. Damn it! May God have mercy on me. Why should he be one of the many individuals who desired to engage in pointless activities? Why must Luca

    When you believed that everything was in order, you relaxed and enjoyed yourself. Ryleigh never imagined that Hannah would reach the point where she would attempt to hurt innocents. Since Hannah had simply given Lucas until 4:00 p.m. to arrange everything, he asked her to stay, but she declined. "We must notify Abby. They can assist." “No! I will handle this on my own. Please comply. It is for your benefit. You have no idea what will happen—" "Lucas, we cannot predict what will occur. Please, let's coordinate with them rather than with law enforcement. You're a broker, correct?" "I resigned." The eyes of Rye expanded. "I don't care. Abby is my companion. Keith and Drake are your friends.” "This has no bearing on them. I must resolve this issue by myself." Rye yanked a hair strand out of fury. "You don't get it, do you? I desired to assist. My daughter—" "Our daughter," he remarked. “Yes. Ours. And I must—" Luke cupped her face and peered into her eyes, which caused her to st

    It is an undeniable fact that we enjoy being liked. We have a natural yearning to feel a part of a group or to be liked by another individual. Life does not always afford us acceptance, however. Instead, it is frequently loaded with rejections, refusals, and everything else. Rejection helps us move our attention from our mistakes to how we can improve. Ace will utilize rejection as a defining event for himself. He then realizes that rejection becomes easier with repeated exposure. Continuously running into it demonstrates a gutsy will to seek out opportunities. And each time you recover from a setback, you emerge somewhat more powerful. Although he may accept the rejection, the anguish remains. It is still apparent, and it has further hurt his heart. The suffering of loving someone who does not return his affection is killing him. He feels as though his universe has fallen apart. Often, loving someone who does not love you back is heartbreaking. It is even awful. It is simple t

    The following day, Rye was astonished to find Lucas sitting in her family's living room and conversing with her father. Then, carrying her child, she approached them. When he spotted them, the man stood up and smiled, which is unusual. He is not this way. She had never seen Lucas grin at her with such sincerity as he does now. He welcomed them with "Good morning, Rye" and moved closer to them. "You're early," is the only thing she can say. "I've decided to pay you a visit, and your father and I will be attending the summit." Rye was unable to speak. She suddenly recalled Ace. ‘How is he doing?’ She simply nodded. Lucas extended his hand towards Amelia and bit his lower lip. “Can I?” She grinned. The man desired to carry his daughter, thus Amelia was handed up to him. She asserted, "Let's have a cup of hot coffee in the kitchen." Lucas desired to smile and was incredibly red-faced. However, he held it. He does not wish to presume things for which he may have the opportunity.

    Following breakfast, Rye decided to depart the motel. However, as she was ready to touch the elevator button, she hesitated. It began to manifest, Lucas. Her heart is close to bursting out of her chest due to shock. Her lips parted and her eyes expanded. The elevator was about to close when Lucas placed his hand between the doors to prevent it from closing. He then moved outside, but his sight never left Rye. Rye then pretended to have a cough and was about to enter the room when he stopped her. "We need to talk," he stated in a monotone voice. At that time, her body did not react appropriately. She caught herself nodding just now. She removed her arms from his grasp, causing him to scowl. He asserted, "Follow me," and started to walk. After a few minutes of strolling, they encountered the individuals she desired to avoid. “Ryleigh?” She whispered "Dad." It was her father and mother who were carrying her daughter. She is uncertain whether she will cry at that moment. Especially

    Before arriving at the hotel, Ace never bothers Rye on their flights. The summit arranged for everything, from food to lodging. They will spend a week in California. At eight o'clock in the evening, he invited Rye to supper, but she declined. It is yet another sort of suffering for him. But what more could he do if she refused, claiming she was not hungry? Afterward, he spent the night alone. He decided to go to the bar in the restaurant where he had dinner. He then reached for some potent alcoholic beverages in an effort to forget his troubles. Ace was certain that it was Rye, not his past, that constantly caused his chest to clench. It took him days to grasp it. Since he met Rye, he has already let go of Margaret's memories and accepted everything from the past. When he had nearly consumed seven drinks, he decided to ascend to his chamber. When he reached their floor, he halted in front of Rye's room with the intention of knocking, but instead, he turned his back and entered the ro

    "Why are you resigning, Lucas?" Keith's automobile was filled with the roar of his voice. They were on their way to the main office to hand over Lucas' resignation letter. Keith is unaware of his motive, but he is aware that it involves Hannah and Rye. “You can simply take a break without having to re—" Lucas said, "I've already chosen." His forehead contracted. “Why?” Lucas glanced at him before returning his attention to the road. "Do I need reasons for quitting?" he inquired. "Of course." He laughed with sarcasm. "I must only concentrate on the company. Individual investors are leaving the market. Hela also needs my focus. Perhaps these are sufficient grounds, right?" Keith let out a heavy sigh. "Well, the choice is yours. I am aware I cannot undo it." "I also wanted to recuperate fully from that accident and desperately wanted to retrieve those memories," he added. Keith nodded and remained silent till they arrived at the agency. It took only minutes for Lucas to submit

    Rye spent all of her time in Ace's office, reading books and browsing the web. She was unable to comprehend Ace's actions. It seems like he's, her boyfriend. The manner in which he behaves as a possessive lover... being bipolar as a result of what occurred earlier—he is merely stating the obvious. And when she attempted to confront him, he would instantly change the subject. She sighed and glanced at her wristwatch, which revealed that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. She looked at Ace and sighed once more. He is continuing to sign some documents that he was apparently unable to sign earlier due to distraction. She is curious as to why. She stood and adjusted her attire before approaching him. Ace then felt her presence, prompting him to look at her with a slightly furrowed brow. She inquired, "What time are we leaving for home?" Ace looked back over his actions. "I'm just going to complete this," he responded. She then nodded, placed her hand behind her back, and mo

    After leaving the hospital, Rye and Abby proceeded to a coffee shop to discuss various matters. Abby exhales deeply and cannot look directly into Rye's eyes. Because she anticipated that her friend would inquire about her. "Your sigh is really disturbing, Abby. Seems you're nervous, huh?" Rye inquired while sipping her iced caramel coffee. She said, "I loathe the way you stared at me." Rye's brow furrowed as she nibbled on her onion toast. She added as she sipped her coffee, "I know you have a lot of questions running through your head right now, and I'm considering how to answer them." Rye let out a quiet chuckle. "You know me too well," she said. She gave a headshake. "I only wanted to ask one question. Do not fret," she added. At that moment, Abby scoffed. "You cannot deceive me. I anticipated that you would have additional questions following that." She even tapped the wooden table while laughing. “Amazing. Indeed, you're an agent," she confirmed, observing Abby's widening e
