I sat on the bed after taking a shower, mad at myself for acting so miserable. The worst part wasn’t even me being jealous of thinking he will be out with Willow, God knows doing what, but that I was well aware of why he was acting up. He just wanted to get back at Scarlet, I was only a tool being used in his game of vengeance, and yet I was falling.
I recalled how cute his smirk was when he was listening to the girls today and pretended to be unaware of the surrounding, but now Willow will get to see his smile and even trap him. Wait! Why am I being jealous? Shouldn't Scarlet be fueling up, he belongs to her and not to me.
I was over here burning my own self and Willow over there was getting ready like it was her date. She must be planning something. As for Ryker, always feeling horny, will definitely hit on her.
We stood there watching them getting intimate.''Look who's back, why did she come back?'' Willow whispered, looking at them as they romantically made out in front of us. I could hear the hidden anger and frustration in her voice. What she didn’t know was that Scarlet wouldn’t even care who her boyfriend sleeps with.''She is his girlfriend and our boss too,'' I replied, not wanting to look at them. They pulled back and started uttering something. I would be lying if I say I wasn’t feeling a bit of jealousy.''I don't like her; she is faking her love for him,'' Willow muttered in her mouth and pulled her nose. It was weird how Willow’s observation made me agree with her inside my head. We both adjusted our posture when finally, Scarlet turned her attention to us.''Hey girls, where are you coming from?'' She approached us while Ryker stayed behind and had his head in his phone's screen like he didn't care. Does he not r
''AAAAAHHHHH!'' I let out a not very loud gasp and sat straight in my bed. It felt so real, I bet if I see myself in the mirror, I will see signs of fingers around my neck. I held my hands on my chest to calm myself down, but then something happened.''It was just a nightmare, you are fine!'' I heard someone talking from beside me in bed. I swirled my head to stare at the person, I bet I had slept alone, then where did this guy come from, and who was he?''Ryker?'' I rubbed my eyes and slapped my forehead. ''Why are you in my room?'' so he was the shadow in my nightmare and that strangulation thing was just the impact he left on my brain in my sleep.I was watching his face in shock and disbelief, why does he feel like he is invited in my room every night?''A simple thanks would suffice.'' he rolled his eyes, mending the sleeves of his coat which seemed like he was about to take off.''Thank you for breaking into my room,'' I muttered, gritting my
''What are you doing?'' I growled, making a tights balls of my hands. He dropped his shirt down from the bed with his coat and slipped under the blanket once again.“What! You reminded me I can’t sleep like that,” he mumbled from under the blanket, ''you are lucky I'm not taking off my pant tonight, otherwise, remember I sleep naked.'' Popping only his face out of the blanket, he yawned and said the whole sentence quickly. He closed his eyes shut and rubbed his face on the pillow, my pillow.
"You all have been given quite a satisfactory amount of time to pick a dress for a presentation," Scarlet announced, watching our faces. We were standing before Scarlet in a line in the boutique, we were advised to wait for our time and then go upstairs, get ready, and come back from a walk.Nichole wasn't present among us and I was standing there wondering if she has informed Scarlet about her departure.Since Scarlet didn’t announce Nichole’s egress, I pondered if Nichole would get in any trouble regarding the contract they have made us sign for this job.Now about me, I've to come up with an excuse for not taking part in the task because Nichole would ask me about the bonus money and what I did with it. Damn! Why didn't I think about it earlier?We were standing down in the boutique, waiting for Willow to wear the dress for her presentation and walk do
I was let known by some delivery guys that the couch, I purchased is at my door. First of all, I didn’t have any money to get a couch, second of all, I didn’t order any."Don't scratch the dressing." I slapped my forehead and guided the boys who were placing the couch in my room. I didn't order anything and it was already paid for by someone. I had the slightest idea about this case, might be Ryker's doing.I mean, who else would do something like that for me? But why a couch?"She said I do want to help you after handing me a few dollars and look at her buying herself a new dress and couch." Nichole mimicked, standing outside my door while the guys were leaving. Both Lacy and Nichole were peeking in my room like it was their business."That must be the guy who gave her a hickey." Lacy rolled her eyes, bitter over someone else living her life. These girls were the worst I swear. The audacity of Nichole to lie to me and not be ashamed is
The next morning, he was already gone when I was still asleep. He had told me to bring the dog from Cain the first thing in the morning and then give him a call. So I slept peacefully after he carried that burden away from my chest.I woke up late because we had a day off and then it reminded me of Cain, if I didn’t tell him I will keep his dog for a few days, he will try to locate me. Since Ryker has told me that he knows this guy who can help me, I can ask Cain to not take any unnecessary steps to find my location.It is also best to stay on the good sides with Cain and Meesha even when I don't want to. I decided to leave him a text.Me: Hey, I just asked my Boss and she is fine with me taking care of your dog. If you still want to, you can tell me a place to meet you.As soon as the text was sent, he replied instantly. So he was waiting for my reply.Cain: Sure. Just meet me at the same cafe
This job was literally the dream job, we don't have to do much and we were paid enough along with the place to crash. I still thought that Scarlet brought us here to engage Ryker with us.I understand she helped me with the Tipsy situation, but then I remembered how Ryker had helped me before as well when he wanted to crash in my room. So, in conclusion, these rich people only help you when they need something from you.That could just be a theory, but we don't know what
I didn't want him to bother me again. My world was already falling apart and his adversary can cost me double the harm. I have to cut off ties with people who were the subject of my pain, I have to remain positive in this negative environment. Plus, tomorrow was the big day, I was going to see my brother, I would not l

It's been two weeks that my husband never got back to me or even let me aware of his whereabouts, it wasn't like I was complaining because I knew our last interactions had caused me stress."Is everything prepared?" My mother asked Willow, they were focused on my welcome party which we had delayed for a long time because of the stress going on with the situation between Roy and Irvin."Almost done, it will be the best frea*ing welcome party ever." Willow cheered, doubling checking the notepad to make sure all the preparations were done nicely.I was resting on the couch, my palms on my bump and gently rubbing it. We were all caught by surprise when a known face walked in from the door."Ryker!" my mother announced.He was in blue jeans and a black shirt, looking fresh. Seeing him made me miss a heartbeat, not because of how good-looking he was, but because somewhere inside my heart, I was scared of him."Get her stuff ready, I'm taking her h
My heart was pounding hard in my chest until Roy, stupid Roy gasped."No! Please no." Jamie began crying loudly, holding her hand on her heart. "Please come back." She cried, sobbing madly and not knowing how to react.My body was shivering, Willow tightened her grip around my hand and bit her lower lip in sadness."I will baby, it's just a matter of few days," Roy said in a tired tone, wait, what? we all thought he was dying, what the hell just happened?"Roy?" Jamie stopped crying and questioned with a straight face. We all shared a glance and then stared down at the phone, what the hell just happened?"Yeah, baby." He replied from the other side, sounding alive and kicking."You are not dead?" she inquired, of course happy, but confused at the same time. We all shared glances. Mr. Parker, who had arrived a minute ago, shared a glance with Paul and they both began laughing but definitely covering their mouth so that nobody coul
Kathleen's POV:The next two days went by and Ryker didn't check up on me, the woman who he got married to, and the same woman who was carrying his unborn child that he was so worried about. I left my room to check up on Jamie, who had stopped eating from a day ago, she was turning into a completely different person. She didn't care about anything anymore.After she had received that text from Roy, she seemed to have lost herself."Hey!" She has been awfully silent in those previous days. The only person she would now talk to was Kellie, who has built a good connection with Jamie."I can't stop thinking about Roy." She uttered, leaning against the wall and folding her arms on her chest. It was true that ever since Roy left, he took Jamie's charms along. It seemed like she has grown mature in those few days of a departure with him."Did you talk to him after that night?" I questioned, I felt like it was all my mistake but Jamie kept
Jamie's POV:The wedding happened. Although it was deemed to be the saddest day for Kathleen and us, I still believed things would have been different if Roy was around. He had this fun personality that could light up even the broken lamp.Sadly, ever since he had left, the light from my life had begun to fade away. Nothing interested me anymore, it seemed as he took my smile away with him.With every passing minute, my body would feel this weird coldness around me."Why do you not dress up?" Paul had left Kellie here for her to spend some time with us and also because she gave me happiness.Kathleen was dead asleep in her bed, Willow and I were playing board games with Kellie."I don't feel like doing so these days," I gave her a smile and stole eyes from her. If she had met me when Roy was around, she would have been surprised by how cheerful I was."But why?" She asked. We all looked at the food tray hungrily that
Every girl wants their marriage to be special, something memorable, but that wasn't the case on the day of my wedding. It wasn't a regular, happy marriage. We were going to get married in court, marrying a stranger would have been better than marrying a known devil. My heart cried inside, but I kept my calm and a smile on my face to make sure the others around me don't panic along. They have all gone through hell and back with me.It wasn't the only thing worrying me, I wanted Roy to be here. Mr. Parker did try to talk to Ryker to push the wedding a bit, but he straight up declined. Of course, he did.I wondered how he was going to behave with me after our marriage because imagine moving in with him alone. I had worn a black knee-length dress, everybody else also dressed up to celebrate the wedding in the form of a lunch afterward.We met up with Paul in the court, who was wearing a white suit and a smile on his face. Well, guess who was missing?"Where i
We all were headed back to our respective rooms after dining together when I passed by Jamie's room and my eyes caught her sight.She had eaten dinner before us because she said she was sleepy, but I found her awake and waiting for someone to pass by her room."You were waiting for me?" I knew what was happening, my voice snapped her out of her thoughts.She smiled very weakly and patted the spot beside her on the bed where she was perched at. I smiled back at her and joined her."What's going on Jamie?" I asked once I found her very uneasy and anxiously rubbing her hands together."You know, when I first met Roy, my heart instantly knew we were soul mates. Big term right? But it's true. Ever since then, whenever he would go out of the city for running errands for Irvin, my heart still felt the connection." her cuteness was next level, I couldn't help but smile at how passionately she spoke of Roy."That's so cute," I smiled her way, utterin
"Willow!" I had to shake myself out of the trance, everyone around me was suffering because of me and I couldn't even defend them."Paul! I don't understand what is going on with you, but I would rather listen to them than you. You cannot come here, acting like you know anything about that happened between Ryker and me." I raised my voice, finally taking back the control.His posture suddenly softened as he explored around awkwardly."What is going on here?" we all turned around to the voice of Jamie, who had just decided to come back with Kellie from outside."Nothi---" Paul had only opened his mouth when Willow stopped crying and shared a quick glance with mother, I knew they were not the types to give up so soon."Your brother-in-law here thinks we are all manipulating Kathleen and Ryker is the only one suffering while Kathleen is not even eligible to be a mom." Willow lied and my mother nodded hard, agreeing with her."Wait, what did you
It's been two days and I have not received any more threats from Ryker. Everybody around me was trying their best to cheer me up, but things were looking bad at this point.I don't know what was going on with Ryker and by every passing minute, my brain kept hinting me that he was going to storm in with his lawyer and shove some kind of papers in my face."Just one more slice," Willow rolled her eyes as she tried to feed me another slice of apple. I was sitting on the couch in the living room, my eyes blankly zoned out in space when Willow caught my attention."I'm fine, Willow. I can't eat more." I intended to give her a weak smile, but then my brain couldn't process the information my heart sent it and I ended up murmuring with no emotions."Everything will be fine, you know." Willow put the plate on the table in front of us and checked her phone, "See this!" a bright smile covered her lips as she saw something on her phone screen, she switched it to me
