I had been asleep after such a terrifying day and woke up on Ryker's text, I frowned because he was the last one I would want to hear from.
R For Rat: I have made my decision.
Honestly speaking, I wouldn't marry him even if he was the last person. The only reason I was going to do it now was that I wanted him to feel horrible every time he thinks he is married to me as his hatred towards me has shown him this could be the only punishment suitable for him.R For Rat: I will marry you, but you have to do a job to pay for yourself and your child.
All of a sudden a ray of hope shone through my life. He had no idea what he was agreeing to.
All the pain and trouble I had felt was because of the people who I once thought were my own.
R For Rat: And don't worry, you can work in my company or the Boutique downstairs. Scarlet has abandoned the boutique so I can hire you at work.Wow, why was he being so nice to me and that too all of a suddI saw Ryker walking in my direction. Feeling of being disgusted and used by everyone has just crushed my confidence. It felt like I can't trust anyone, when will the torture end? Will I be able to have a good life?"You touch me and I will end my life," I warned him and tears rolled off my eyes. He stopped in the midway and shook his head.His eyes watched my face with a weird mixture of emotions and then he scoffed, lowering his face and turning it just a bit to communicate with Irvin."Can I have some privacy? I don't like an audience when I'm having fun." Ryker smirked very slightly and then straightened his neck to face me again.Tears of immense pain were streaming down my eyes while I kept looking at his face in disbelief."Oh! Sure. I believe we have a different taste after all." Irvin smiled to himself and then averted his eyes at me, I could feel his eyes speaking about the dirty intentions he was holding for me."Have fun!" Irvin mum
We escaped the apartment and Reached Mr. Parker's house, who Willow's father was once set to marry. Apparently, her mother's boyfriend had told her to call him father: Mr. Parker, and her stepmother: Lady Lyl had built their business, working hard, but mostly Lady Lyl was the one who got famous before Mr. Parker.When Willow's mother was alive, she worked hard to buy some shares, but the rest were bought by Lady Lyl, who knew how to handle the business.Though Willow's mother never got to Mr. Parker, he still treated Willow as his daughter. His helping nature had always been a good personality trait of his."It's so huge." I looked at the building and then turned around to see the guards, they were gigantic too. I hope I'll be safe here, but I wonder how Lady Lyl is going to react to my presence. "Don't worry, you are safe here." She whispered as we both waited in the foyer for Mr. Parker to show up. I was busy analyzing the surroundings as my motherly ins
"Look at her Parker, she is so beautiful." she stammered, her eyes pouring tears down her cheeks. My eyes were watery, but my heart aching like hell. She was shaking and making moves, trying to come closer and closer.I was standing a little far from her as her sight was a disgust to me. I was suffering, her kids were suffering while she was stuffing her bags with money and throwing hands around at poor, innocent girls in need."My daughter, I have looked everywhere for you." she stepped a bit closer to me, her cries turned louder.Did she look for me? She ran away. She left us for Mr. Parker, from the looks of him it didn't look like he would be the type to stop her from meeting us. Even if he did, she made a decision to leave us in misery and deal with everyone's taunts while she enjoyed her life."I'm not your daughter," I muttered in my mouth, "you stay away from me." I pointed my finger her way and warned her. Her jaw dropped like all my hopes and dr
Cain: Every time she gets pregnant, there are complications. I can't stand her sight anymore.I could not believe he was this ignorant, but then again, he was someone who planned to keep me with him against my will. Now that I had a roof over my head and probable safety, I knew how I could take information from him and then keep him away from me.Me: But it ain't her fault. How do you claim to love her when you don't wanna be with her at times when she needs you the most.I agree that Meesha had been nothing but evil to me, but I will never wish this upon anyone. I wanted to stop continuing the conversation with him that instant, but sadly, I wanted to know if he knew anything about that night of the accident.Cain: I never wanted to be with her in the first place Kath, I wanted you.That just raged me, he thinks I'm dumb? I rolled my eyes hard and shook my face, he was dumb to think he could fool me.Me: Well, If that was the case you would
"You do know what you are saying right?" I was totally shocked at her statement; it was something I dreaded for months. I was running from Irvin because I knew he had sold me and that was a horrifying thing to happen to anyone. I slowly plopped down with a lack of energy and lowered my face in bewilderment and guilt. Was my mother sold too? Did we share fate? "I know, but that's the truth," she whispered, looking down and rubbing her arm as she recalled the most painful memories. "I fell in love with your dad at a very young age, I left my family and everyone to be with him. Everything was normal, we had two kids, but then he started making new friends in this new area where we had built our home together. Those friends were nothing but a bad influence, they made him a drug addict, he stopped working. His friends got him into weird addictions, and slowly he was lacking money for all his addictions. One night when I was sleeping, he let his friend enter the room and loc
Ryker: I know you are reading my texts; I just want you to tell me if you are okay?I took a deep breath in and began typing, which was a short reply.Me: I'm fine.Ryker: Did you tell Paul about the baby?Me: Why do you care?Ryker: He is the father; he deserves to know. I read his text and this urge of trying to know what happened that night came to life once again.I left him on read, leaving my phone on my pillow, and got up in search of a key to a locker where I had left Lewis’s belongings after the accident. My phone beeped again and I knew Ryker was still texting me, but my mind was crowded with some thoughts. There was this feeling inside me that kept bothering me to investigate this situation. I picked up my phone and instead of reading Ryker’s text, I messaged Willow. Together, Willow and I went to the lockers to g
Ryker: You said it's Paul's Baby, what kind of game are you playing with me now?Oh! He had the audacity to blame me, make me feel bad about being related to my own brother, while he literally tried to kill my brother.I was staring at the screen of my phone with almost no emotions. I was tired of running and just when I thought I had found a home, I realized I've to run again but this time, for my brother.Me: The game where I wish the baby was anyone's but yours.Ryker: What did you say? it is my baby?How ironic, I had replayed the moment where I announce the truth about the baby to him in my head countless times before, but all those times, I didn't think of it as anything other than a mother's wish for her baby to know the father.Ryker: Tell me, Kath!I watched his text and slowly the lost anger began to build up inside me. Scarlet and him ruined us, they both u
It's been two days and everybody was busy with these upcoming party preparations. It was sweet of Mother to involve Willow in most of the work with her. Willow had always wanted to work in this area and her dream was now able to be fulfilled. Willow was still working in Scarlet’s boutique which was now under Ryker’s name. I don’t even know if that boutique was going to work, but I heard from Willow that Lacy had informed her that Ryker had hired new girls.As for me, rest and the home were nowhere near in sight because I had a lot planned in my mind for those who took my brother and my life for granted.I was lying in my bed, resting with my eyes close when my phone began to go crazy. I checked my phone and the notifications said, I have some unread messages.Ryker: Kathleen?Ryker: Can we meet?Every time he messaged me, my heart ached and my mind got crowded with numerous different thoughts. I wish I hadn't fallen for him, takin
