Chapter 81
Okay, maybe Ryder was not just a friend to me. It was high time for me to admit that those feelings were not ones which a friend would feel for another friend.
In spite of his playboy attitude and behavior, I couldn't stop my heart from fluttering whenever he was by my side. I tried to stop myself from liking him but it was in vain.
He was charismatic and attractive as a guy. There was more to him. He was not just a playboy. He has a caring side which he had shown to me multiple times even though he seemed to be quite uncertain while showing that side to me. He definitely had a past that changed him into who he was today.
I was not aware of when he began pulling at my heart strings and I stupidly let him control my feelings.
I never approved of his lifestyle yet, I found myself being drawn to him like a moth drawn to the light of a flame. I knew that it was going to be hard to catch myself this time.
I will surely fall for him, hard and

A deep gratification came into the man’s expression as he stared over the scene ahead. As much as he was enraged with the way Tom was being treated, he couldn’t help but smirk in satisfaction.Ryder was going to be a tough guy to tackle but he always preferred tackling the tougher ones. It was jus

Lea’s point of view: I placed his phone on the bedside table.I stood up to give Ryder some space. It was evident that he did not want my help yet, I wanted to help him.I took a long deep breath before deciding to go against his order.As much as he wanted me to leave him alone, I couldn’t just leave him in his misery.With the help of the moonlight, I proceeded to examine the wound. I grimaced. It was gross to look at. I’ve been bloodily hurt multiple times by my father but it was my first time seeing a wound this deep with blood pooling from the inside before flowing out.I rummaged through the bathroom cupboards to look for the first aid kit Ryder had used before to clean the wounds on my wrists.Ryder’s eyes were pinned on me the moment I walked out of the bathroom with the first aid kit in my hands. His eyebrows were lowered and pulled closer together. His lips were pressed tightly toget

Ryder’s point of view:It was obvious that Jake will not be coming any time soon when Lea called him. I could hear the slur in his voice when he answered the call and with the music playing in the background, he was at a party and already too drunk to understand what Lea was trying to tell him.Even though I wanted to maintain some distance from Lea like I have been doing for a few days now, I knew that I would have to let her tend to my wounds.I understood why being so close to her felt so wrong but at the same time, felt so right. I immediately realized that I needed to get away before it got too late.I just can’t get too close to Lea. Last time I got this close to a girl, I was fucked up. That girl was my first and last girlfriend. She fucking cheated on me and screwed me over for good. I loved her but I guess, she never really had the same feelings for me because if she did, she would have never cheated on me. I was neve

Ryder’s point of view: My mood promptly turned sour when I saw Tom along with two other guys whom I recognized seeing at the racetracks waiting outside. How stupid can Tom be that he decided to try his luck again tonight? Wasn’t that fight from earlier enough? Maybe he fell for my punches? I tried my best to forget the pain shooting up my leg when I walked towards him. I stopped when I reached him and stood with my back straight to face him. Another lightning ripped heaven apart before another roll of thunders fiercer than the one before tore the ghostly silence into pieces. The storm was finally here. Large, heavy, ragged black clouds hung over our heads. The storm pierced through the growing tension and thrummed with the desire to say aloud whatever hung in the air between Tom and me. “Please, be nice.” Lea begged as she held onto my forearms, preventing me from advancing towards T

Ryder’s point of view:Lea’s eyes shifted to something behind me. Her eyes widened. Her entire body went paralyzed with fear. Before I could ask her what was wrong, she quickly turned me around.“Ryder, watch out!” Lea shouted.My own eyes widened in utter disbelief when a baseball bat was hurled at me.Seeing how fast it was coming my way, I swiftly turned back around, covered Lea’s head and shielded her.I winced and squeezed my eyes tightly shut when the baseball bat hit the back of my left arm.It broke in half before splintering into fragments.I swiftly turned back around to check who threw that bat.I clenched my jaw when I saw no one in sight.“Ryder, l-let’s get inside.” Lea tried to pull me inside but I stayed put.“I know you’re hiding. Come out.” I shouted.I kept my eyes on the nearby bush to check for any

Ryder’s point of view:Despite the rain which was pouring down on us, I felt like I was suddenly splashed with cold yet hot water. My hold on the man loosened. I let go of him completely before standing up but before I could stand up, I was forcefully hit at the back of my head with something hard. I flinched.I quickly wrapped my hands around the back of my head and cried out in pain when I felt my ears ring. Everything turned deaf for a split second before I started hearing the rain and the man’s uncontrollable laughter.“Ryder…” I heard Lea screaming my name.I turned to glance in the direction of her voice to find a man pulling her out of the house by the back of her hair.The sudden fear that overtook her was starkly visible on her face.Streams of tears flowed faster than my heartbeat from her eyes.Tears of pain and fear ran down her cheeks.Feeling disoriented and dizzy, I

Ryder’s point of view: When I woke up, I found myself lying on the floor. The moment I moved, my head pinched with pain. I stopped moving. I closed my eyes tightly shut and waited till the pain dissipated. I tried to sit up only to realize that my hands and feet were tied up with ropes. I pushed myself up and leaned my back against the cold wall. I felt something trail down the back of my neck and the side of my head. I instantly knew that it was blood. I looked around but could barely see anything. It was dark and only the beam of the moon penetrating through the window served as my light from where I was. I shook my head slightly to prevent the blood from getting into my eyes. I did not want to be blinded any further than I was already. I coughed and winced slightly when I tasted the metallic taste in my mouth. The side of my lips stung. I gulped to try and get rid of that taste but to no avail. I held my breath when

Ryder’s point of view:“The fuck is wrong with you, man. That’s your daughter.” I said through gritted teeth.I felt disgusted to look at his shitty face.He was not worthy of being called a father.“She is not my fucking daughter.” Thomas retaliated furiously.Lea calmed down slightly when Thomas placed the chair back in place.“Y-You can’t be my f-father.” Lea mumbled quietly.Thomas stilled entirely. I watched his expression change on the spot. His face went pale in astonishment. The face that was red with anger just a while ago was suddenly as white as a sheet.He slowly turned around to look at Lea.Unlike earlier, Lea did not flinch in fear when her father glanced at her.She stared right back into his eyes with confidence.It was dreading to watch him approach Lea as a predator would his prey. Lea gulped back the tears that had fi
