I was scared inside my skin because I knew it was Scarlet. I've to come up with a good excuse.
I can't leave her on seen now.
Me: Actually, I wanted a day off because I've twisted my ankle.
"I tripped," I said, not wanting to have a debate over it. I know it wasn't a good excuse because just a minute ago Willow too couldn't satisfy him with the same excuse."Just like Willow?" He stopped walking when he was merely inches away from me. Good! It’s good he stands at a distance from me."I don't know, I tripped and that's all I know." I lied again. My heart was beating in my head, like literally, I could feel my veins popping in fear."Show me your ankle." He lowered his head and stepped back to have a glance at my foot."It's not that twisted, I mean it just hurts." I didn't look in his eyes and mumbled awkwardly. Why wasn't he investigating me so much?I just wanted a day off, not really, but now that I've already made up an excuse, why not get a day off and rest a bit."You really think I'm a fool, Kathleen? ‘I could tell from his looks that he was pissed. Why he was so sure that I was lying? Because I came int
Before I could even turn around and move a muscle, he had picked me up already."Help!" I yelled to get the attention of the people from the surrounding but it wasn't long that I realized all these people were the people he had paid to act like they didn't hear anything.He knew I was coming here today, he had bought everyone's tongue. Nobody was going to help me in this neighborhood anymore.His arm tightened around my waist and his body put pressure on my back, I couldn't move out of his grip."Let me go!" I tried to kick him off but he pushed me inside his Lamborghini, quickly joining after me and closing the door behind us."Drive!" he ordered in his deep husky voice. The shivers I got from his voice reminded me of the chills I got every time I looked in his eyes. We had a history together, a history that ruined my whole life, my freedom.The driver had started the engine at this point, I was perched down while he was seated above.
I got back to the apartment on foot and I can’t explain how bad my body hurts. I bet I was having a fever from all the stress and the bruises I got from earlier. I didn’t apply anything to them and dozed off soon after.I woke up in the morning and took a shower really quick. The scratches were still fresh and hurting, getting ready for another hour of pain with Ryker in his so-called gym, but during the time I was in the bathroom, I felt like someone was in my room.I hesitated to come out, wrapped in the towel because for obvious reasons. I changed into my gym outfit, wearing a sweater to cover up my arms to prevent anyone from seeing my injuries. When I came out, the room was filled with silence. He wasn't there, it was only my mind playing games. Was it true that he never came into my room? If so, then what was resting on my bed? It was a small box.I wondered how it came there because I don't remember buying anything from this brand of jewelry.
"Why?" he questioned, not even blinking as he stared right into my eyes. He still didn’t know why?"I'm not going to be a second woman. I understand why you are punishing her, but why am I doing this to her? She has done no wrong to me." I tried to convey my position to him, but I know he wasn't getting any of my points. I was standing on my spot facing him while he kept making fists of his hands and then opening them.“For me!” He mumbled in his mouth. For him? What was he to me anyway?"I gave it to you," He muttered in his mouth, balling his hands in a tight fist again."Yeah, like you sp----" I took a pause, "spanked me?" it was the nastiest thing to do, also he did it while I was surrounded by the girls who wouldn't leave a chance to embarrass me. What if anybody has seen it?"You deserved it." his short reply burst my mind open. He can't be standing in my room and acting like I'm his bi***.M
He ran his hand freely down my stomach and then pressed it gently. Honestly speaking, his touch was giving more like torture than pleasure. He had burned down all the bridges, there was no possible way I can ever forgive him.There is nothing he could do anymore to make me feel like he cares or is serious about me.He removed his hand off my skin and gulped while his eyes glued to my face. I felt like he was going to say something, but then he decided not to, which was great by the way because I was really not in a state of having an argument.He walked away from me and before I know, he has already left my room. I quickly put on my dress and sat on the bed grievously."I can't even run away, I can't leave my brother behind, what if Ryker call Irvin? I can’t defy Ryker." I uttered to myself. I mean, before this incident, I honestly thought Ryker just threatens me, but now my mind changed about him. He was capable of doing anything without fear
"Ryker no!" I warned, uncomfortably taking a step back from him. The way he said it sounded extreme and I was not going to give him myself so easily. He had to work harder this time."Why not? Don't you wanna get your revenge?" he raised his brow, slipping his hand down to his belt. Okay! He was being so extra, or was he being for real?"No! I'm not in a position of doing so." exactly that's not the type of revenge I would ever take. If I could, I would want to leave this place immediately, but sadly for me, I was stuck.My response vanished the smile from his face and he sighed."Come on Kath, tell me how can I melt your heart for me?" he questioned, defeatedly. He had stopped walking just when we were inches away."How about you start with respecting me?" I raised my head and stared into his eyes confidently. He knew I was pissed at his actions, especially his immature and non-seriousness towards relationships. If one thing I hate about men
I walked to my closet, almost empty closet, but thankfully, I wasn’t worried about a dress for the evening. I had a perfect dress with me. I looked for some makeup and then somebody knocked on my door.I wondered who was bothering me at this time. Upon opening the door, I didn’t find anyone but I did find a first aid box. I knew who did this.I lifted the box and turned my face to the side and there he was; Ryker. He smiled by curling his lip up from one side and gave his brows a jerk.I wanted to give him a smile so bad, but my self-respect made me look away and get inside the room. I knew what was next, his text. It didn’t take much for my phone to ring again.Ryker: Apply it!Now that he had started it again, some warms inside me made me drag the subject.Me: What if I don’t?Ryker: Just ask if you want a hickey, no need to instigate me.
I was watching Ryker’s face in shock and confusion. Why was he here again? I had seen his interest in this party but I never thought he would follow me here. He was not afraid of being seen with me?"That is my baby!" he mumbled, smiling sweetly at me. I could tell everyone was shocked at the sight in front of them, but I was more astonished at Ryker's confidence, he didn't care about the rumors that are going to be spread around now.That itself made me question my assumptions over his attachment towards me, he was not playing with me it appeared as."Hey, you can come here," Cain knew it was going to be hard for Ryker to stand between hungry girls, who were eyeing him like he was the only cake they needed, he called us inside a room.As soon as I had entered the room, Cain began to question me. I should be the one to question them about Tom and what he did."You never told us anything," Cain asked, it was much quieter in t

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
