......
After that, they ate in silence. Nobody spoke. And Christian finally managed to calm himself down.
Riley looked at him from sideways. He ate quietly with one hand while the other one was placed on his thigh. Without any expression. Just the voice of cutlery rang in the silence.
Despite her inability to comprehend his expressionless face, she knew he was hurt. If not hurt then at least insulted. She shook off the weird feeling and resumed eating.
Steadily Stuart looked up at them. His eyes narrowing at their behavior. He could understand the struggler's emotions but why Riley was sad? It made no sense to him. Why? Why Riley Brown? I'll deal with whatever it is between you and him later. For now, let me just e

But he did saw her hesitating to say something to him. But at last, she didn't say anything. So he left it at that. It was best for both of them to not talk about what happened.

While dangling the phone in front of her face.She understood his gesture. He was still on the phone with her mother. She lifts a brow and nodded at him."I am sorry, Mom. Riley was tickling me. So, I couldn't control myself."Her shoulders visibly drop as she looks at him with questioning eyes. 'Me Tickling him! Oh, God! How can he lie so easily?

So don't let your bad times make you lose hope and don't let your good times make you feel larger than life."[Christian].....She stood still for a moment contemplating what to say to her when the beep of the phone fell in her ears. 'Shit! She had already hung up without waiting for my reply.'Milly on the other side left the book there on the ground and walked up to her walk-in closet. Taking out the purse from the nearest collection and walked out placing her phone in it. She ran fast, opened the door of her car, plopped under it quickly. Her breathing was a little heavier, so she took a deep breath to calm her nerves. Quickly after it, she started the car going straight at the speed of 80km/h. Her hands shook a little by all the sweat that had produced on it but she ignored it.Meeting Stuart was more important

"Don't let anything affect the love you have for someone, even if you go separate ways or whatever may happen, you should always care about them." [Christian]...."Are you sure Honey? I can accompany you both if there is a problem?" Christian asked suspiciously. As he noticed Her eyes fell on the window, then the kitchen, and then the entrance but not him when she was speaking the words to him about going out. her body language was too strange to not notice. Her eyes fell on the ceramic plate and they narrowed in worry to see him asking her in suspicion.'Are you lying to me, Riley Brown?'She tried to think of something that could save her from telling an untruth to him yet would be compelling enough for him to believe her. She couldn't believe she could think something like that."I. Mom. It's her old friend. And I just think it would be bothersome to take you there. Since there. Eh. There will be questions about you.

"It always gets worse before it gets better. So believe in the process."...Summoning up the courage, Milly frantically knocked on the door of Stuart's house, fidgeting nervously as she waited for the door to open.Creaking it opened and she took a deep breath. Stuart stood in front of her wearing baggy sweatpants and a plain black t-shirt. His scowl turned into a bright smile as his gaze followed from inside to her face."Mom..." Immediately his tall figure bent down as he forwarded his arms towards her hugging her.While Riley stood stiffly inside at the door of his condo. Her hands clenched at her sides. Looking directly ahead of them. Her pursed lips morphed into a grin as she saw them embracing each other. Tears dripping from her mother's eyes.Breaking free from the hug, Milly Brown placed a hand on his cheek. "Stuart...You are a

"Don't regret too much, just do what you can to ease that feeling of regret. Do it every time you feel regret is enveloping you."....Even though he managed to warm up the heart of Stephen he couldn't bring himself to call him Dad. Maybe it was the deep fear rooted in his brain of their first encounter or maybe he was just scared of Stephen's reaction over his addressing terms. Whatever it was he didn't contemplate on it too much.His eyes took in Stephen's face and he noticed how Time had left the scars of age on his face.He looked Stuart up and down a faint smile hung on his lips. While a little moisture was seeping from the corner of his black eyes. Never in a million years, Stuart would have imagined he will see the man in tears because of him. It might be because he never actually saw him cry. So, It brought a sudden warmth insi

Christian's eyes widened in shock, his cut cheek throbbing with every heartbeat. The gash in his thigh, a souvenir from Andy's goons' earlier attack, stung as he spoke."Andy, how could you?" Christian's voice reverberated off the concrete walls.Andy's laughter sent chills down Christian's spine, amplified by the eerie silence."You never suspected, did you?" Andy's words dripped with malice.Christian's torn shirt hung in tatters, revealing bruises and scrapes. A glass shard protruded from his thigh, blood pooling around it.The only light came from a flickering overhead bulb, casting ominous shadows on the walls. Cobwebs clung to the steel beams, and dusty crates lined the perimeter. The air reeked of decay and neglect.Christian struggled to comprehend. "We were friends, brothers. Why?"Andy's expression twisted, his eyes gleaming with malevolence. "Because your Father destroyed my father. Because I hate you. I hate you to the core. I created the perfect lie, Christian.

"The best decision to cater life is to accept whatever is happening. And move forward."[Christian]'I have most of the times preferred to decide emotionally, but most of the time it has backfired on me. So this time I will use my brain.' Christian thought inwardly, his hands were shaking. He took a deep breath to calm himself, and observed his surroundings. The place he was called to, looked like an abandoned building, on the outskirts of the city. There doesn't seem to be a single soul in the vicinity. "I am here." he yelled, and his words echoed in the area. Just when he thought there was no presence there. Around ten men surrounded him coming from all sides. One of them punched him in the jaw and he fell down on the ground with a groan. His eyes blackened for a few minutes before he could stand up, he was kicked by another guy in the gut. They hit him until he bled. Christian's shirt was torn, his cheek and head had a severe cut which was bleeding up to his eyes.Perhaps seeing h

Life is beautiful, live with people you love, who love you."[Riley Brown]Riley had never felt the kind of dread she was feeling in the darkness. Her body was shaking but even then she couldn't scream. When she woke up she found her arms and legs bound to a chair with a gag in her mouth. Other than that, she was unable to see anything. Wherever she was, it was too dark to even comprehend the surroundings of the room. Suddenly, the door opened with a creak, and light coming from outside blinded her for a few minutes. With that, it must have been more than 12 hours since she was kidnapped. Her heartbeat pounded in her ears as she wondered who the person would be. She quickly takes in her surroundings. The wall facing her chair was musty old and the paint was coming off. Dark-colored boxes were scattered on the floor. There were some posters on the wall, but she didn't linger on them. Instead, her gaze landed on the man who was now standing in front of her. She noticed he was wearing a

"Embrace your fear and be honest with people you want to live forever." [Christian Evercast]"Hie." This time Christian doesn't pretend to not see her. Instead, he walks toward her and forwards her hand for a handshake. Riley is not entirely aware of what exactly happened, stay still. She doesn't take his hand, so he takes it back awkwardly."I am not going back Christian," Riley says, pinching her arm in annoyance."So your trip here is pointless."Each time she had to remind herself of the fact that his pitiful appearance was just a sparse way to fool her. Like he did all the time."Please don't run away from me, Riley. I am not here to take you back. Not unless you go with me willingly." He says. His eyes were hollow."Yeah, like always. Willingness. Oh, you mean the conspiring ways that will force me to go with you willingly." Riley says sarcastically. Her face was like a dark cloud and her courage was like a queen's, but her tone was still normal, perhaps to not attract attention
Lovesick Beggar Baby, Christian In the restaurant!
"It's not the goodbyes that hurt,It's the love remaining in you that hurts!"[Christian]*******Riley felt Her chest heavy with a feeling of stress and confusion. She changed into her normal clothes and asked for leave from the manager present. The manager argued with her, but her friend Roma immediately came to her aid. She didn't ask Riley why she wanted to leave in such a hurry, she just offered to work in her place. The manager readily agreed and Riley walked outside.When Riley finally left the restaurant, she could’ve sworn Christian looked right at her - he was observing her, without saying anything at all, and even though she had supposed he would come running behind her he didn't. In some ways, she found it odd. It was hard to believe that he would let her be.She steps onto her balcony and the eerie silence gnaws its teeth in Riley's cheekbones. The smell of someone frying noodles is so faint in the air, that she wonders if someone is cooking near her.Her hand fiddles with

"I never saw anyone as I saw you,Even if the flowers dried up " [Christian]*******"Goodbye," Riley said, and the single word spilled out of her like pouring waterfalls after drought, like spools of ribbon unraveled after years of being held taut;"I want to be happy." Her voice echoed back to her into the dry, dim land, and as her breathing slowed she could feel the world slow with it. She squinted blind eyes and shifted tired feet, to move towards the chopper her fingers felt the invisible strings of the wedding ring that tethered her to Christian's world, she removed it and felt as if it disappeared into the darkness, she hoped that this decision would lead to something better:Stupid and silly. Christian murmurs to himself as he looks around her office. He came to her office the minute his staff told him. Riley had left for her office early in the morning. His head was still pounding with the hangover since he didn't even eat anything for breakfast, which also made his reactions

"Loving someone is hard. But making them believe in your love is the hardest." [Christian]*******When Riley left her cabin, to leave for home. She noticed the office was buzzing with excitement. She lifted her feet to look and found people crowding the gate. That's when she heard one of her colleagues say, "Dude that guy is so handsome, how lucky must be the woman he is here for. Ah and with such beautiful flowers. Ah, I am melting!"Riley walked fast towards the gate immediately. For some reason, she had a hunch. And it proved to be true. Making her way, in between people she walked towards him."Christian what are you doing here?" She questioned, awkwardly."Oh, I am here for you honey, to take you home of course." He said so naturally that for a moment Riley didn't respond."Ah, and these are for you." He said as he handed her the flowers she liked."Why are you giving this to me?" She was confused by his sudden behavior."Well, I wanted to make you happy so I brought these.""Se

"If you are upset with me, talk to me.Don't separate me from yourself. Why are you watching me from afar alone, it's better if you fight with me." [Christian]Riley came out of her room late. It was almost 10 am and she assumed Christian by now would have left for his office. She didn't want to meet him. Neither did she want him to spot any difference in her face even though she had covered her face with thick makeup to reduce the puffiness of her eyes. As she descended the stairs and walked toward the kitchen she found A man cooking something. When his whole back came into view, she knew who the man was, it was her husband.Christian turned around and smiled at her. "Look Honey, I learned to make your favorite Chinese food yesterday. Come and taste. I think I made it better than those restaurants you love." Riley stood motionless looking at him, like looking at a stranger. Even then she seemed beautiful to him, so seductive, so different from normal people, that he could not compre

"Hope courses through our veins, only for us to live." [Christian]Riley swallowed hard and looked at the man sitting opposite her."So, That Bastard has tricked you into his games once again!" Stuart banged the table in anger."Yes." Riley sighed softly and slumped down on the chair. After Riley left his office building she found Stuart calling her to inform her he was back in the town. Not knowing where to go she invited him to a nearby restaurant. As the great friend that he was! He immediately agreed to meet her. So here they were, sitting in the restaurants nearest to Christian's office. she just explained the whole ordeal to Stuart who now had brought the attention of others to themselves by his abrupt action."Stuart, we are in a public place," Riley said as she threw an apologetic look at other customers."Sorry." He said as he ruffled his back hair. A habit he had when he was awkward."It's okay," Riley responded, taking a sip of coffee and placing it back on the table."How
