THE CEO'S PAWN CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN
And a perfect night it was, at least that's how it had started out, until his peaceful, sound sleep slowly morphed into his worst nightmare. Somehow, he was back in his old room, with no way out, stuck staring into the faces of the three men that he'd rather not set his eyes on ever again for the rest of his life. Not seeing any of them again for the rest of his life would be too soon for another life time. It didn't make sense though, he was done and free from this life and he'd made sure these men were under the custody of the law and about to loose their freedom for good. And there was Paul, the man that had ceased to be his father from the day he'd created this league of devils haunting his life. He was a little boy again, young and afraid, their toy to play with, mess up and discard as they pleased. His heart slammed a tattoo against his chest with every beat, every rhythm, as he took in the lewd smiles plastered on their faces with every step the they took in his direction,

Bree woke up to a tossing and struggling Ryder clutching hard on her hand that had somehow made its way to his chest sometime in their sleep. He was obviously caught in the tores of another one of his gripping nightmares that he never talks about. His brows were drawn and furrowed in his struggle, his face contorted as if he was in pain and he was muttering unintelligibly. She could make out a couple broken sentences or so from what he was muttering about, though. He was repeatedly calling to someone, his father, she realised. He was begging to be saved from some kind of torture and then there was there was her.......he was calling her name, begging her? It was all so confusing and she had no idea why he'd transitioned from talking to his father to begging her, but it was a dream and she had an idea how easily those could morph. She's been in more than a couple nightmares herself, they'd been more frequent in the days after she'd just been rescued from her father. "Ryder, baby,

She was asking him for the impossible, the one thing he couldn't give her.He couldn't begin to imagine opening his mouth and letting the shit he's kept bottled up inside him for years flying out of his mouth to her audience.There was no weighing it, he was undisputably sure she would leave his ass by the time he was done with spilling how fucked up he is to the last person that needs to hear it.There was too much pain and hurt buried under all the years that had swept past, so much hate and spite that he never thought he'd recover from, best left forgotten.He pushed his fingers through his hair, trying to stay the haunting memories and failing.He'd been fucked over as a kid, but he'd gone and done his own fair share of fucking up by looping her into his mess with clear intentions of hurting her even if that had been only designed to hurt her father in the first place.But the point was, he'd brought her into all this and this relationship they had going on, though beautiful and fr

Bree woke up with a stinging pain in her lower back, so sharp and piercing that it scared her, but it disappeared just as quickly as it had come.Her mind shot to the baby first as did her hand, cupping her bump with hopes that her child was okay.She was seven months plus along now, only a couple months more at most and her bundle of joy would finally be here, a part of their lives.Their lives.......the thought brought a damper with it, clouding the joy she had mustered.Funny how she's living in the same house with him and still she has no idea if there was still a "their" anymore.She had no idea what was what and it'd be a freaking surprise if they were still a thing because Ryder wasn't acting like it anymore.It's been days and the issue from that night still hung heavy between them, stretching on and on and keeping them from each other.She hated that they were at this point where they were fighting a lot, but she had no intentions of giving in to his whims this time and lettin

But that call to her ob/gyn was never made and neither was the one to Ryder.Well, she didn't think she had to make either of them anymore because by the time she could get around to it, it was almost as if nothing had happened.The tingle that had bothered her wasn't there anymore and there was absolutely no sign of the pain she'd endured earlier, which was surprising in itself. She didn't want to seem too paranoid about the baby because it's her first pregnancy, so she let it rest.She went about her day instead, helping Karen out around the house and making small conversations with the bubbly, older woman.Karen was a delight to talk to and she had the most beautiful tales about her super adorable grand kids whose pictures she always carried around in her purse, and talking to her always made Bree's day.She wondered if she should tell the woman about what had happened while she was in the bath since she sounded so experienced with kids and pregnancies having carried six of hers to

Ryder's been having a really rough week and everyone around him knew it, especially at the office. His mood was constantly sour and he went off at the slightest provocations.He was that boss nobody wanted to have to deal with and it bothered everyone else but him.Well, that's what everyone thinks but it wasn't exactly true.Ryder knew he's been hell to deal with recently, and honestly, he didnt want to be but he couldn't help it because he had no fucking idea how to deal with the root of his problems.God, he missed her.He needed her to the point where it hurt.But she was asking him for the impossible.He couldn't give her what she was asking for, couldn't strip himself that bare to the point of absolute vulnerability.He was almost certain she would leave if she heard the truth she was asking him for.Fuck, if she listen to him crumple the man she thought she knew and hand her the damaged little boy still screaming inside from years of abuse both their parents had perpetrated, he

Ryder had no fucking idea how he made it to the hospital, all he knew was that he was needed and he needed to be there as soon as was fucking possible.It was something of a miracle that he didnt get into an accident on his way here because the man broke rules and records on his way here.There had been no need to ask for their location and all because there was only one place Bree would be, he knew, and that was because for once she didn't fight him on this and had just accepted that she and the baby deserved the best.Getting her information from the staffs, as soon as he was inside, was easy peasy because everyone around here knew who he was and they knew to treat matters connected to him as urgent.And for once he was grateful for that, because there was only a thin line holding him from snapping and losing it.Today was and still is one hell of a day for him and he wouldn't want to relieve it for any damn reason. Finding Karen and Bree was all he wanted, his eyes itched to see hi
THE CEO'S PAWN CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR
It was a moment before a doctor came out of the room to join Ryder and Karen and then another before he proceeded to take just Ryder to his office, while Karen went in to stay with Bree.While Ryder needed to know what was going on and all, he kinda wished he could stall this moment just a little bit longer, at least until he thinks he's ready to deal with whatever will be hauled at him.But he couldn't, his baby girl's life depended on this, their baby's too and he knew he had to be brave for them.The doctor's office wasn't any sort of calming for him like he'd expected it'd be, at least not with all the posters adorning the walls, displaying varieties of images of pregnant women, pregnancy complications and information on them and a lot of birth defects.In a passing thought, he knew it'd be more comforting for any person to not have to look at them right before receiving any information about their pregnant partner that's fighting for their life and that of their baby.But that was
