I restrained from tailing him by breaking out of his grasp to pull away from him. Once confirmed he wasn't dragging me anymore, I recovered the strength to assert myself.
''I'm not going anywhere,'' I stated loudly enough to be heard. I can't let him get his revenge on Scarlet with me. I have no business in their matter, I should not suffer. I was holding onto my chest, keeping my hands prepared to make sure our bodies don’t come in contact. His eyes scanned my face like a hungry beast.
''Are you disobeying me?'' the strange look on his face was something worth watching. He looked as if he had seen a ghost, why was it so hard for him to understand? Everything was in front of him. I just simply didn't want to jump in his bed. He knew I had heard their conversation, he really thought I would be okay to be his toy? Or did he take our weird encounters as my attempts to feel him?
His broad
Unknown: So if you want those files, you know what you have to do.I was back at being in trouble in less than a minute. I knew he didn’t plan on giving me my documents back. In the meanwhile, I determined to feed my empty stomach some food. I am the type of person who eats a lot of anxiety.I slipped in a denim jacket that my brother used to wear and slid my bag’s strap over my shoulder and make my way out of the building. The night was cold but pleasant, seemed like I wasn’t the only one who had left the roof. The streets and roads were filled with people.I marched across the road to the small café where I could buy something not so expensive"Hey, there you go." I handed the money to the fine lady and got my order from her. I walked outside the Cafe and sat down by the pavement to eat something in peace.Can you imagine I was struggling inside my mind to come up with a good idea to get my fi
He closed the glass door to the terrace and begin instructing them. I stood on the opposite side to them, watching them working out.Wow! The audacity of this dude to contradict his own statement in a matter of seconds was staggering.Now that I was stuck and wasn't allowed to leave the apartment, I decided to look around for my documents.Waiting for him to get completely absorbed by the girls, I walked away from the terrace.I secretly ran inside his room and went quickly through the closet and drawers. I couldn't find a clue to my stuff, but what I found was something I could use to protect myself.There was a letter too, which was from Willow to Ryker along with some of the letters Scarlet has written to her boyfriend but didn't send them. I folded the papers in my jacket and went out, sitting on the couch in the living room, I waited for them to be done with the workoutThe terrace door opened and out came Ryker,
The rest of the day passed by really quickly. Luckily, I didn't get myself in any more trouble. We girls did manage the boutique and then went to our respective rooms early.Now it was 8pm!I looked at him and waved my hand from afar. He looked the same, just like I remember. His smile has brought happiness in my childhood, but tonight something was different. His eyes were lowered like he was hiding something from me. Wasn't he pleased to see me?"Cain?" I murmured once I got close to him. He refused to look me in the eye which made me wonder why?I wasn't like he didn't wanna meet me, as he was the one who kept insisting me to meet him."Cain, what's wrong?" I asked again, trying to steal a stare.We hadn't even entered the Cafe yet. The guilt on his face was giving me chills."I'm sorry." He muttered, taking a step back.Suddenly, two cars pulled up near me. I couldn't believe it was
Ignoring the text, I opened the package and touched the money, is it all for me in my life now? Do I have to be suppressed all the time no matter how anybody treats me?I let out a sigh of distress and looked outside the window to see a car ceased in the middle of the road. I have seen that car, as I began to examine it, the car left, must be Ryker, but what was he doing here.I slid the package back to Cain, who was now not in a pleasant mood anymore and shook my head.''Thanks but I can't take these. I have found a job and ---'' I wanted to say something, but he had come prepared to humiliate me for not accepting his help.''And what is it this time? Are you going to sell yourself now?'' his words fell on my eardrums like hard solid rocks. The fact that they kept using such statements to bring me down was leaving me frozen. I raised my face in disbelief and my words remained in my mouth when I felt a tap on my shoulder.''Kathle
“Where are we going?” I uttered very politely, trying not to trigger him over my tone.He ignored me for a minute and then stretched his neck. I knew something creepy was going on in his mind."I don't understand what has gotten into you girls," Ryker muttered in pure rage. He looked uncomfortable, must be something related to his Darling Scarlet."Yet you guys wanna sleep with us." I bitterly mumbled, looking away. If someone new sees us, they will probably think we were a couple arguing about who spends too much on groceries."I didn't want to sleep with you. I was just trying to scare you." He huffed, tightening his grip over the steering wheel. Yeah! Like I would believe him."Yeah, it's easy for you guys to change your mind." I was in intense pain inside. My eyes almost flooded with tears; memories have made me weak. It was hard to forget all the insults Cain made me go through by calling Meesha and acting like I
"Do you have any idea what you have done?" He growled, taking a step closer to my face. I had to take a step back to prevent our bodies from brushing together."I saved you," I uttered, definitely I didn't save him, but I saved myself though. Has Scarlet seen me here with her enraged boyfriend, she might have concluded that I somehow was the reason behind his finding out about her. We all know how the third party always gets blamed in a couple’s fight."How? Please Miss Kathleen will you elaborate?" He looked me in the eye aggressively and knitted his brows. His mood swings were getting worse. This whole situation with Scarlet has changed him a lot; he was never at peace."Last time when you tried to stop her, she threatened to leave you and if you had created a scene here, she wouldn't have to think twice before leaving you." I was quick enough to come up with an excuse that could satisfy him just enough to back down from glaring me in the eye. It was so
''What—how?'' I whispered under my breath in fear and took a step back.Were my eyes deceiving me? Maybe the shock of the nightmare made me hallucinate new devils in my room. His eyes hungrily scanned my body.As he moved a muscle, I knew this wasn't a dream. My instant reaction was to run back into the bathroom, but he read my body and quickly rushed over me.The way he jumped off the bed in his black unbuttoned shirt and bolted in my direction, I felt my heart sinking in my chest. Before I could slam the door shut and lock him out, he poked his shoe in and blocked the door from closing.''Get out!'' I yelled, but then subdued my voice. I would never want anyone to hear us and get myself in another trouble."Leave!" my voice was commanding yet fear was evident from my tone. I had to hold my towel with one hand and put my body pressure on the door to prevent him from opening it. Wh
I woke up a bit early that morning. It has to do with what happened last night, I thought. As I took a shower to get ready for the gym, I realized it was too early and the girls might not even be awake by now. Having spare time in my hand, I decided to go for a morning walk. It’s been ages since I have enjoyed a good morning jaunt.The chirping of sweet little birds, the fresh morning breeze, the fog of winter, and then here it was me, wrapped up in two sweaters and socks like a burrito. To put it simply, it was so damn cold outside. The cut-off gloves weren’t doing a great job for my naked fingers, I swear I almost felt they were frozen.Pulling up the muffler to cover my nose, I started my walk. Slowly the birds too went silent as the cold began to grow intense. I hugged myself even tighter and marched towards the tunnel.As I kept walking towards the tunnel, my ears picked out some noise from behind me. I could be wrong because m

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
