RYAN

The night was quiet, but my mind was anything but quiet. I sat in my dimly lit study, the weight of everything pressing down on me like a boulder. Papers, documents, and pictures were scattered across the desk, all reminders of the chaos Leon had brought into my life. I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling as a storm of thoughts raged in my head.

I didn’t know where to start or how to fix the mess that was unraveling in front of me. It felt like everything was falling apart at once, and I was powerless to stop it. I grabbed the whiskey bottle from the desk and poured another glass, the amber liquid shimmering under the light of the desk lamp

My mind kept circling back to the same question, the one I dreaded most.

What if he wants to contest for the title?

That thought alone was enough to drive me mad. If Leon decided to step out of the shadows and challenge me, everything I had worked for would be at risk. I wouldn’t stand a chance.

I had three advantages over Leon, th

    NAYA I woke up early, determined to get a head start on preparing for Leon’s session. After everything we had been through and the chaos of the past few days, it was time to refocus. We couldn’t afford to waste any more time. Leon wasn’t walking yet, and that was the ultimate goal. I took a deep breath as I got out of bed, mentally going over the plans I’d made for the day. Each session was a small step forward, and while progress had been slow, it was still progress. I reminded myself of that every day. Heading to the kitchen, I made myself a quick cup of tea to wake up properly. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft glow through the windows. The quiet of the morning gave me a moment to think, to plan out exactly how today would go. I wasn’t going to let anything distract us or slow us down. I grabbed my notebook, flipping through the pages filled with exercises and techniques I had researched and written down. Each one was carefully selected to push Leon closer t

    I woke up and it felt like I had been in a trance, I tried to move my body to find out that both my hand and feet had been tied, then there was a cloth over my face so I couldn't see a thing, there was a tape over my mouth was also so all I could let out were weak muffled screams. We were moving and I was in a tight space that I figured out I was in the trunk of the car. I kept screaming through the tape even though they were barely audible. I still continued screaming and kicking to let myself out or call attention to passersby all to no avail.“Shut the fuck up bitch or I would stab you in the guts” someone shouted from the front seat of the car.My brain couldn't function, I could barely think about anything else other than trying to survive. I just couldn't die yet. The car came to a stop after hours, at some point it felt like they were driving in circles. The car trunk opens and the first thought that came to my mind was to make a run for it. I hopped out of it even with the fa

    LEONIt was so funny watching her bolt out of the house, how could she kiss me but was flustered when I pulled her to me? She was something else. There was a way she made me feel, a way that I couldn't put it into words. Every morning I look forward to hearing her voice, to hear her cute laughter. I hated to see her hurt and for some reason, I wanted to keep the smile on her face so bad so I was ready to do anything at all to make that happen just for her.She brought out what had been buried in me for a long time. The least I could do is make her wish come true regardless of the results of the ongoing treatment.I heard the door of the living room open up so I rushed over to see her “Naya, are you finally back?” I laughed “Naya?” I asked “You mean Nick and yes I'm back, don't tell me you missed me” I heard Nick say “Shut your hole, did you see Naya?” I asked bummed that she wasn't the one“Where? Isn't she in the house or did she go somewhere?” he asked looking around like I was

    NAYA“Oh my, look at your face” Ryan gasped“Did I tell you to rough her up like this?” he asked the man who kidnapped me“She wasn’t obedient,” the man said“So you couldn’t handle this tiny woman without ruining her face?” he asked, kicking him on the shin, then he grabbed him by the collar and slapped him repeatedly across the face, not once, not twice, not thrice just continuously. He acted like he was crazy“Now apologize,” he told him“I-I-I am sorry” the man stuttered “Good, now Naya he has apologized we should be even,” he said smiling, his smile gave me the creeps. How was he human “Right?” he asked “Oh sorry your mouth,” he said before he snapped at the man, who looked like he was in a lot of pain. The man came over to me and took off the tape that covered my mouth.“Get me a chair,” he said and the man did just that, it was pathetic to watch a grown man run around for Ryan.Ryan sat in front of me and crossed his legs together wearing that same stupid ass smile.

    “Speak we don't have all day!” Ryan spat startling me“Go on I'm listening,” he said but I said nothing, the words felt too heavy it couldn't come out. He angrily took the gun from the man and placed it right on my temples. The cold metal on the side of my head made me freeze in fear.“You think all this is a joke, I would count to five if you don't speak you are done for,” he said and started counting immediately “1, 2,….” “I-I-I-” I stuttered“3, 4….” he continued I will leave!!! I wanted to scream in his face but a loud sound of police siren filled the air and everyone paused. I started to scream loudly so I could be saved“Shut the fuck up!!” Ryan shouted while the man covered my mouth with his hand muffling the screams“You should go, sir, I think the cops are here,” the man said“Fuck!!!” he shouted punching the air hardThe sirens became louder and I saw him visibly panicked before he ran out the door.

  • Married to the Disable Billionaire    Belong

    For the first time in what felt like forever, I could finally breathe without that weight on my chest. The constant fear, the feeling that something bad was always around the corner was gone, like I would get snatched and stuffed in a trunk once again. It had been weeks since Ryan was hospitalized, and though the memory of everything he’d done lingered in my mind, I was starting to feel at ease.The days had taken on a rhythm that felt… normal. I’d wake up early, make breakfast, and help Leon with his treatment. He had his bad days, days where he felt stuck, frustrated, or just plain tired but for every difficult moment, there was progress. Little by little, we were moving forward.And then there were days like today.The sun reflected through the wide windows of the home gym, casting a golden glow over everything. I stood by Leon, watching him as he prepared for another attempt at walking. His hands gripped the parallel bars tightly, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. Swea

    NAYAThe car ride back home was quiet, almost painfully so. Leon sat beside me in the passenger seat while Nick drove, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. He hadn’t said much since we left the hospital, and neither had I. But it wasn’t the kind of silence I was used to. This one was heavy, thick with unspoken words that hung in the air like a weight on my chest.My mind raced, piecing together everything I’d overheard at the hospital. I paid attention to Ryan’s and Leon’s conversation, but I didn't grasp the whole thing that was said. But the parts I did hear were enough to unravel the rest. The way Leon spoke to Ryan, the icy calmness in his voice, the way Ryan had reacted to him. He was sure that Leon was the one behind it and Leon never denied it or accepted it. Leon had orchestrated Ryan’s accident.At first, I tried to tell myself I was wrong. Maybe I had misunderstood, maybe I didn’t hear things clearly. But the more I thought about it, the clearer it became. The way Leon had cho

    NAYAIt has been a while since the incident but it still doesn't seem to be going away. I am still shaken up. I would get flashbacks of the scenario and fear would grip me like I was relieving the whole thing. My nightmares weren't going away, instead, it felt more vivid and scary. Ryan was laughing psychotically in my dreams haunting me, no matter how I ran or how I begged it all ended the same way. It ended with him putting a bullet through my skull. I was scared of stepping outside the house, I have never tried to but the thought of it scared me.I tried all my best to hide everything from Leon so he wouldn't worry about me, which was almost impossible because he was breathing down my neck twenty-four-seven, watching and monitoring my every move like a hawk. Before I was done with my treatment he insisted on staying by my side every night and now I was done with it he still checks up on me in my room. If he noticed something was wrong with me he would just worry too much and I didn

    LEONI have got to learn multiple times that Naya is not someone to back down from a fight no matter how tough it could be. As admirable as that is, it is also worrisome but I have decided to just let it be, I guess the best I could do for her is to protect her. Which was something that scared the shit out of me.What if I'm not about to do it? I have already failed once what if it happens again?It was just a lot, the more I thought about the more nervous I get about the whole thing.I was surprised when she asked that we continue the therapy session, I didn't get how she was not out of bed yet. Her treatment was still ongoing but she cared about the session. I couldn't even tell if the ordeal hurt her or not. Other than the pain she talked about, she didn't talk about anything else almost as if she put this shield in front of her to cover up how she was feeling. I wanted her to be vulnerable with me but she cared more about trying to make me okay than herself and that got me worried

  • Married to the Disable Billionaire    Accident

    Ryan Everything with me seemed slow, I kept thinking and thinking of ways I could get back at Leon or even sabotage him before he came for me but there was nothing. He didn't have any business or property that I could mess with. He didn't care about his image with the press. The only thing was Naya, which I failed when I had a chance. Now his guard would be high and I wouldn't be able to get another chance. I'm sure my mother was waiting to hear some type of good news from me but I had nothing. No goddamn thing.I was angry thinking about it, I felt so powerless and I hated it so much. The worst of it was that I felt powerless against Leon. The number person I hated most in the whole fucking world. How was I being shaken up by a bastard?It should be that way around, not the way it was. But thanks to Father for making the son of a bitch feel included, now he was trying to contend with me.Growing up, I didn't get my father's attention and that messed with me. Leon proved himself to

    NAYAThe sharp ache in my body was impossible to ignore, but it was nothing compared to the weight pressing on my chest. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, the faint scent of antiseptic in the air reminding me I was safe now. But the word “safe” felt hollow.Every inch of me hurt, my face throbbed, my wrists stung from the ropes that had bitten into my skin, and the bruises on my ribs made breathing a slow, painful chore. Yet through all of it, one thought refused to leave me. I couldn’t let this stop me.It had been the same routine for me every day, I ate, laid in bed all day, and slept. Leon was very strict with me, he didn't let me do any damn thing and I was tired of arguing with him.Leon sat by the window, his silhouette illuminated by the faint glow of the moonlight. His gaze was distant, his body tense as if he were bracing himself for another fight. The sight of him like that rigid, lost in thought made my chest ache differently.“Leon,” I called softly, my voice hoarse.

I looked around me and I was still in the room where I was being administered treatment. Leon was in his wheelchair dozing off.“Leon” I called“Huh” he jumped“Do you need anything?” he asked “No,” I said“Come lay down here, you will hurt your neck,” I told him“No I'm fine thank you,” he said“Come on” I whined before he agreedI tried to help him get off his chair but he refused “Don't worry I got it” he said then he got on the bed“Do you feel better?” he asked after a long awkward silence “Yes,” I said staring at the ceiling “Thank you” I whispered “I didn't do anything Naya,” he said with his voice lowHe did a lot. More than I could ever imagine “You-” I started to say then I turned to see he was fast asleep. He had a rough day.Even in his sleep, he looked disturbed, his brows furrowed together.
