After finishing my breakfast with Paul, he left for work while I waved him goodbye until his car was out of the view.
"Why aren't you telling me anything?" Ryker tailed me to my room once Paul had left. Honestly speaking, before arriving back here I thought Ryker would not care about me, but here he was, annoying me to the point that I beg him to stop acknowledging me.
Didn’t he say I used him or played him? Then why was he roaming around me like an annoying buzzing me?
"Because it is personal." I almost yelled but held back my exhaustion. He had tired me from all the following around and doing mental gymnastics.
"A personal lie? never heard of it." he mocked me because I've been lying to everyone lately. I halted in my pace and turned around to watch his face. He was standing there like a fool, acting like he was always truthful to me.
"Oh! You never heard anything coming out of your mouth before?" I said, folding my
"She needs to rest and take care of her health and eat healthy too," Ryker repeated what the doctor had told him and rubbed my hand that he has been holding. Ever since we reached the building, we sat in the parked car silently. He held my hand after Cain pissed me off and despite me wanting to get out of his grip, I didn’t do anything to shrug myself free."I do rest all the time Ryker," I said with my head lowered down as I felt tired."Yeah, and you stress a lot too," he added, while holding my hand and exhaling a breath full of air."You shouldn't have jeopardized your relationship with me, Ryker." I was upset because lately, he has been suffering a lot, and even though he deserved it, but you know when you love someone, no matter how badly you wanna move on from them but you just can't. It wasn’t like I desired to be back in his arms, that phase was over the moment I had a picture of Scarlet on top of him instilled
After Paul left, I laid down in my bed to get some rest, but this weird feeling inside me wouldn’t let me fall asleep. I checked my phone and had received one text from Ryker, I wondered what he was going to say nowR For Rat: After lunch, you should walk a little, slow step and should get some fresh air, by your doctor.Oh, so his ego was bruised. I get why it was but I could not get myself to forget how I was homeless again because of him. The day I found him with Scarlet crushed me from inside. In my early days of pregnancy, I needed him to be by my side, I wanted us to enjoy every little detail, but everything was stolen from me because of his stubbornness because he was ready to sacrifice our relationship and not his ego.Me: Okay!I got up very lazily and left the room, debating if I should walk to the roof or just walk downstairs. Well, even though the roof had many memories attached to it, I still deci
“You girls don’t have anything better to do so, you bully others to make yourself feel better, how pathetic.” I bitterly spoke while keeping my eyes at Willow, who was watching my face silently. I expected her to say something in return, but I was wrong because she didn’t utter back. Hence, I left downstairs, bothering less about these little mean girls.I was tired and had nothing else to do so I made up my mind to back to my room and get some rest. As I reached my room, I found the door fully ajar. There was someone in my room, my instant thought brought Ryker’s name in my head, but he wouldn’t just barge in and leave the door open. I peeked inside and my heart sank in my chest. It was Scarlet!Not only was she in my room, but also going through my stuff ignorantly. I rushed inside, carrying so much anger and hatred in my veins that I could literally feel my heart throbbing in my head."How dare you touch my st
I kept thinking about what Scarlet and I had discovered a few hours ago. If I were Ryker, I would have been upset too. It did look like we planned everything to trap him. I felt bad that he had been dealing with such a big betrayal in his head with no idea of who to talk to since everything seemed suspicious in this circumstance.The other day when I snatched food out of his hand? I felt tears filling my eyes for humiliating him like that.Should I text him?My mind was baffled at what should I do and what I shouldn't. Scarlet has told me to talk to him tomorrow, his mood will be much better with too many people around him to make him feel better.I couldn't help but text him.Me: hey!My heartfelt bad, I wanted to hug him.R For Rat: Hey, how are you? Did you eat anything?Tears filled my eyes at his response. We went through so much because he thought sharing his pain with me would make him m
I was peacefully asleep until I heard some noise from my room. I yawned and before I could open my eyes, the door slammed close. My eyes shot open at the noise, I looked around and found him gone.He left again!Maybe he couldn’t control himself last night, but then he woke up, he realized he made the mistake to stay over since he can’t even trust me anymore.I sadly watched the empty space he had left when he left just now.“It’s fine, everything will be cleared after today’s evening party. I am sure Scarlet will be able to prove me innocent and Ryker will be in my arms for good tonight.” I patted my heart to calm it down and smiled like a silly.Wait!I wondered what happened on the night of the accident. Ryker once mentioned Scarlet’s ex tried to hurt him, who was this ex?My heart missed a beat at the mention of it, I shouldn’t think like that. But then why di
We were more like hiding in Ryker's apartment as his manager and friends were trying to explain to the media about this situation, they were trying to calm them as everyone was furious over the fact that Ryker cheated on someone like Scarlet.I was still traumatized by how she twisted the whole situation against me. I thought she truly loved my brother, why would she mess up her only chance to be with my brother if he ever wakes up, or did she think since he had shown no improvement she doesn’t want him? Either way, she showed her true colors, and once again I was fooled by someone I gave a second chance to."Tell me what was that?" Ryker furiously walked to and fro. He was mad raging and honestly speaking, I was broken inside and scared too. I never wanted my baby to face these names what people were going to give him now.I was feeling sick at this point, all the anxiety was making me wanna throw up. "She did that, I bet she called the paparazzi up
"What?" he raised his brow, he was already pissed and me saying that made him even madder. But I was his responsibility, his stupid girl got me in trouble. I mean I can't just go and ask Paul for help, he already had enough responsibilities for his daughter plus why would I endanger his life? I'm not his responsibility.Roy and Jamie had done a lot for me, and they were already in so much trouble because of Irvin, I could not go back there. "You heard me, you two caused me this trouble." I looked him in the eye, feeling petty. My self-esteem was crushed, now I was just gonna look for ways to protect myself and my baby.It hurts my heart to beg before someone who had rejected my love, who did not believe me. He again believed Scarlet today and dismissed my emotions, even when he could tell I was nothing like Scarlet."You wish I would do that. I will never marry a girl like you." the disgust on his face made my body frozen. What does he mean by a girl like
"Wait, don't p---," My body began shivering, I was more concerned about my baby than myself. I'm pregnant, can't they see? My heart was jumping left and right inside my chest.I was watching their faces one by one in a swift move to get myself prepare for the worst."Let’s teach this filth a lesson." Lady Lyl was the one taking the lead, she grabbed my hair and pushed me inside my room while the other ladies squared up at me. I was forced by Lady Lyl to sit on my bed as she grabbed the hair from my front in her grip and yanked my head behind to make my face visible.The extreme pain in my scalp appeared in my eyes in the form of tears. It felt as if she was pulling my eyes up rather than my hair only."LET ME GO! * I yelled in sobs, my body shuddered at the sudden attack and my vision got blurry, but those weren't the tears of pain, but the tears of pain when a lady who I have seen at Scarlet's parties before, slapped my cheek harder.My chee

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
