Chapter 242Riley Burke ~•~“I’m sorry I didn’t reach out to you throughout the day, I was occupied with some stuff.” Mason apologized as I answered the phone. It was already dark and we didn’t speak throughout the day. A part of me felt that he wasn’t being honest with me. He wasn’t busy with anything, he just wasn’t interested in speaking to me. Maybe he needed space. Or some time to think. “It’s okay.” I brushed off his concerns with a dismissal wave even if it wasn’t okay. I felt bad because he didn’t speak to me throughout the day when we clearly had a lot to talk about. “How are you doing? What did your parents say?” Mason asked with a hint of concern and curiosity in his voice. “I shouldn’t be going out with the enemy.” I held back a scoff as I told him. “Forget about me. I wanted to apologize for leaving you at the restaurant. I’m really sorry.” “I felt bad about it but I realized it wasn’t entirely your fault.” Mason’s words calmed my frazzled nerves. “At the end of th

Chapter 243Riley Burke ~•~“Who is there?” My father’s husky voice echoed from the other side of the door as I knocked multiple times on his office door. “It’s Riley!” I yelled loud enough for him to hear. There was a brief silence before he spoke again. “I’m busy.” My father always had time for me, even if he had so much work to do. He barely dismissed me just because he was busy. He was just giving me subtle hints that he didn’t want to speak to me. But I didn’t care. Even if my feelings were hurt, I was determined to speak to him. I wanted to apologize. I wasn’t happy with the way everyone was avoiding me. “I just need five minutes,” I replied, my voice desperate. “Come back later, Riley.” His tone was firm and serious. Maybe he was actually busy. Letting out a wistful sigh, I turned around and made my way upstairs. I was about to go to my room, but I decided to stop at Rowan’s room. Who knows if he was willing to listen to my apology? I knocked gently on his door. “I

Chapter 244Riley Burke ~•~I listened to Rowan’s advice and sent my father an email. It felt so weird as I drafted an apology email for my father. I mean, I could talk to him freely, but now, our relationship was strained. After I sent it, I went over to my mother’s room. “Riley, I haven’t seen you all day.” My mother said as I walked into her room. “How are you doing?” She asked with a hint of genuine concern in her voice. I was a bit confused. Wasn’t she also angry at me? I sat down on her bed while she sat in front of that vanity. “You didn’t want to see,” I replied, my voice tight. “I’m doing fine, how are you doing?”My mother turned around with a puzzled expression registered on her face. “What do you mean by that?” She asked, staring intently at me. “Nobody even cared if I was dead or alive in my room.” My mother laughed. “I just thought you needed space after everything that happened.” She replied, rubbing her hands together. “Or maybe you didn’t.” “Daddy doesn’t want

Chapter 245Riley Burke ~•~“What?” I wasn’t completely shocked. In fact, when I was thinking about it earlier, I knew he would say something like that. But after having a conversation with him, I thought he wouldn’t care about it anymore. I couldn’t stay away from Mason. No, it wasn’t possible. I needed to think of something to convince my father. And I needed to think about it fast. “I can’t let you see him.” My father responded, his tone firm and serious. I froze in my spot, unsure of how to respond. The last few hours were already hell for me because I thought my father didn’t want to speak with me anymore. We were finally on good terms and I didn’t want to ruin it again. “We are already in a relationship.” I lied. My father’s eyes grew wide in shock. “Riley! But you told me you were just friends.” He reminded me of what I said when he first confronted me about it. I nodded my head. “Yes but not until yesterday,” I replied, twirling the hem of my shirt for some sort of

Chapter 245Riley Burke ~•~I was skeptical about going to the room at first, so I stood by the side and pulled out my phone from my bag. I wanted to call my friends, maybe they had an explanation for what was happening. Harper answered the call on the first ring. “Hey, I’ve been trying to reach you.” She said with a hint of urgency in her voice.My heart skipped a bit. “Why? What happened?” After Harper’s explanation, I realized what was happening. As soon as I left the house, my father sent some men to my dorm room. He wanted them to prevent me from getting into my room. He didn’t want me to have anywhere else to stay after I disrespected him. He wanted me to go back to the house. I couldn’t help but scoff. “Are the school authorities aware of this?” I asked Harper. “I have no idea. We decided to wait for you to arrive when we realized what was happening.” Harper replied. “Are you coming inside?” She asked with a hint of concern in her voice. “Yes.” I hung up the call and ke

Chapter 247Olivia ~•~For the longest time, I always thought Riley was the person who Alexander loved the most. He always listened to her and did whatever she wanted. Alexander treated Riley like she was a princess. He would pluck the moon for her if he could. Most times, I was jealous of their relationship. He was close to the boys, but not as close as he was to Riley. Maybe it was because she was his only daughter. I was surprised to see how he reacted to her this morning. I mean, no relationship was perfect. I had witnessed them disagreeing a few times, but I had never seen him so upset when it came to Riley. While I was upstairs, I could hear them arguing. But before I could get downstairs, Riley had already stormed out of the house. Alexander’s jaw was clenched and his eyes were blazing with anger. “Riley has grown wings and she’s really disrespectful.” He said through gritted teeth as I walked towards him. “It’s all my fault. I made her feel too comfortable and now sh

Riley Burke ~•~Mason stayed with me throughout the whole period while I tried to figure out what I was going to do. I called my father and asked him to give me access to my bank accounts and dorm room, but he refused. He wanted me to go back home, but I wasn’t going to do that. I was upset. After everything, Mason offered to take me to his house, but I couldn’t accept his offer. Instead, I decided to go over to my Auntie Amanda’s house. “Are you sure you don’t want to come with me?” Mason asked for the umpteenth time as he walked me to my car. “You shouldn’t be worried about my parents, they don’t really care if I go out with you anymore.” I rolled my eyes. I wished my father felt the same way. “It’s fine,” I assured him. “My parents would be more upset if they found out I followed you home. I just have to find a way to fix this situation.” Mason let out a defeated sigh. “Fine, but if you need money for anything, don’t hesitate to call me.” He continued. I nodded. “Sure.” I

Chapter 249Olivia ~•~I was worried! I was so worried. It was getting dark and Riley wasn’t responding to my calls. I even asked her brothers to call her, but she didn’t pick up either. My stomach churned as different scenarios played in my head. What if something bad had happened to her? I even tried reaching out to roommates but none of them had seen her. I was starting to panic and I couldn’t even do anything else. “Alex, you see what you’ve caused, right? You pushed her away and now nobody has any idea where she has gone.” I said through gritted teeth as I met Alexander in his office. There was a hint of guilt in his eyes. “I’m sure she’s safe. She just doesn’t want to answer because she is still upset.” He sounded like he was so sure. “If anything happens to my daughter, I’ll hold you responsible,” I replied before storming out of his office. If they didn’t have that stupid fight, I wouldn’t be in such a situation. I couldn’t even go to bed until I was sure she was oka

Chapter 265Riley Burke ~•~As soon as my dad handed me a new phone, I found my friend's phone number and called them immediately. It was already noon and on the weekend, so I was confused about why none of them answered their phones. I mean, those girls were literally always with their phones. I really wanted to speak to them, but I guess I had to wait until later to try calling them again. Maybe they were busy with something. I spent most of my time inside my room and I was getting bored. Normally, my mother didn’t like it when l took my food upstairs but this time, she brought the food to my room by herself. I hadn’t gotten any reason to go downstairs. I needed a change of environment, so I decided to freshen up and head downstairs. I was pretty sure Rowan and Jason were playing video games in the living room. After spending about thirty minutes in the bathroom, I dressed up in my comfortable sweatshirt and shorts before making my way downstairs. “Hey,” Jason said as soon a

Chapter 264Olivia ~•~I wanted to accompany Alexander when he was going to see Maxim, but he refused. I knew that he didn’t want me to see him, but still, he said I was going to see him later. After helping Riley with dinner and giving her medication, I went back to the room to meet Alexander. I hadn’t talked to him since he came back from the station. “Hey, what happened at the station?” I asked him as I walked into the room. He was standing in front of the closet and searching through it. “I have something to tell you,” Alexander muttered under his breath. My interest became piqued. “I’m listening,” I responded as different thoughts ran through my head. Alexander sounded so serious and I couldn’t help but wonder what he wanted to say to me. He took a deep breath and turned around. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier.” He cleared his throat and continued. “You remember when you found out that Maxim was a fraud?” He asked and I nodded, anticipating what he had to say next. “Y

Chapter 263Riley Burke~•~When we finished at the restaurant, my father asked my mother to drive me back home. He wanted to go to the station to see Maxim and the other men who kept me hostage. My mother wanted to accompany him but he refused, saying she would see him later. As soon as my father left, I followed my mother to the car. I couldn’t wait to go back home and see my brothers. I was so excited to see everyone. Being free felt so good. “Riley, I’m inviting the doctor over, so she can do a checkup and give you the necessary treatments you need.” My mother said as I settled down on the passenger’s seat. I hated anything related to hospitals or medical care, but I couldn’t protest against it. I actually needed medication because I was still in pain. My legs and my head were still hurting and I needed the pain to stop. “Sure,” I responded with a smile and my mother nodded. A few minutes later, we arrived at the house. My heart leaped for joy as the security guards open

Chapter 262 Rowan Burke ~•~I loved my sister but I had no idea that her absence would affect me so badly. Ever since I realized she was missing, I couldn’t even focus on anything else. My mind was always racing with different thoughts. What if something bad had happened to her and my parents took so long to search for her? Everyone thought Riley had willingly disappeared but that wasn’t the case. My sister was missing. I couldn’t even talk to anyone or go anywhere. I shut everyone out, including my girlfriend, Belle. Until Riley was found, I was certain that I would be restless. While my parents were at the station, I kept on blowing their phones with constant calls. Most of the time, they didn’t respond. A part of me felt bad because I wanted to be kept in the loop, I wanted to know what was going on, or even if they had gotten a lead. But I knew that they were busy and my calls were distracting them from doing their work. When my mother finally answered her phone, she a

Chapter 261Olivia ~•~Different waves of emotions rushed through me as I saw Riley running in our direction. Relief, joy, and gratitude swirled together, overwhelming me.I was so happy to see her. For a moment, I thought we were at a dead end. I thought she had left the house or the men they caught were probably lying about her whereabouts. She looked so scared but also excited to see us. Before I could even move, Alexander rushed and pulled her in a tight hug. I was still in shock as I watched them reunite. After a few moments, I joined them, turning the hug into a group hug. “Oh my baby, um happy to see you.” I smiled at Riley as we broke the hug. Riley looked like she was struggling to hold back her tears. I could only imagine what she had gone through at the hands of those people. Alexander stepped aside to call the detectives. He wanted them to know that we had seen Riley. While he made the call, I led Riley to the car. As soon as we got into the car, I began asking her

Riley Burke ~•~I had no idea what was happening but as I saw everyone fleeing away from the house, I decided to find a hiding spot too. For a moment, I thought help might have come but I could be wrong. What if it was a rival gang or something who had come to attack them? Last I remember, Maxim was part of the mafia. I couldn’t take any chances. I ran to the garage and stayed inside. I could hear footsteps, I could hear noises but I couldn’t dare look outside. I just slid down and hugged my knees tightly as I waited for the noise to be over. The sound of cars coming in and going out frightened me the most. At first, when the other man abandoned me and ran away, I wanted to run out of the house too. But I wasn’t sure I would be able to escape on my own from such a deserted area. When everything was over, I planned on going back inside the house to find a telephone or something. Maybe I could even find the keys to one of the cars and drive out of the house. I had been inside t

Chapter 259Olivia ~•~Alexander didn’t hesitate, he started the car engine and reversed as fast as he could. But before he could even start driving, we saw that the black SUVs had already been blocked by a new set of policemen who were already on their way. “That’s strange,” Alexander muttered under his breath as he put the car to a stop. “I have no idea who those people are unless the other officers called for backup.” It was a good thing they came because they were able to stop the men. We watched from a distance as they brought them out of their cars and handcuffed them. Some of the other policemen we had followed earlier finally drove out of the gate and stopped where the black SUVs were blocked. I didn’t see any sign of Riley as they brought out the men from the SUV’s. “Alexander, turn around and drive to the house. What if they left her there?” Alexander responded with a nod and turned the car around. He increased the speed of the car as he drove into the compound. As he

Chapter 258Olivia ~•~“They’ve been able to track those men to an address, we’ll be on our way right now,” Alexander announced to me as he came outside to meet me. I wiped off my tears with the back of my hand because I couldn’t stop myself from crying earlier after he left me alone. “I’m coming with you,” I told him before he could even say I should go back home. I was patient enough to sit outside and wait while they were looking for her. But I couldn’t go back home. I needed to go with them to the location. Alexander’s face fell. “Olivia, we don’t know what we are up against. What if the place is really dangerous?” He asked. “It took me a lot to even convince the detectives to let me go with them.” Everything Alexander said to me fell on deaf ears. I was determined to go and nothing any of them could say would make me change my mind. If Riley was in danger, I didn’t mind being in danger too. Alexander let out a defeated sigh when he realized that I wasn’t taking no for an

Chapter 257Mason Craig ~•~I had been restless ever since I realized that Riley was missing. At first, I thought she finally gave in to her father’s wishes and ghosted me. I tried reaching out to her. I even tried reaching out to her roommates but I couldn’t get a hold of her. I was so desperate that I even had to reach out to her friend from class, Liam. I wasn’t really his biggest fan. I was always jealous that he got to be with her every time in class. When Liam told me he had no idea where she was or hadn’t heard from her, I thought he was just saying it to make me back off. But little did I know he was actually telling the truth. It was only when Riley’s family reached out to me that I knew something was wrong. Then earlier in the morning, the news of her disappearance was all over the internet. I felt so terrible and I couldn’t help but wonder where she had wandered off to. I blamed myself for everything that was happening in her life. It was my fault. I was the reason
