“After you are done taking out the crash, lock this place.” The shop owner yelled from his car and drove away for home. He was able to get a job of cleaning duty in this small shop of doughnuts, he had yet to find a roof to sleep under at night. He had been spending nights in a park, hiding from the security.
He hadn’t heard from Jamie these few weeks, it seemed as after blocking him, she never thought twice of him.
“I have to prove my innocence to her.” He shoved the keys in his pockets and marched away from the shop, “I have to pay her a visit.” Roy decided and paced faster to be at Paul’s place before it gets late and Jamie gets upset at them for ruining their peace.
He had to walk for almost half an hour to be near the mansion. Paul was a rich guy, and ever since he found out about what happened to his wife, he had been returnin

Roy woke up in the hospital with minor injuries but a fractured finger on his left hand.“OW!” he groaned, getting up in the bed and realizing the white walls around him were the hospital walls. He then recalled the whole event that caused him to fall down in the first place.“Jamie!” he whispered very sadly in his mouth, still trying to understand why she did that to him.“She must have done it in anger,” he shook his head at what Pamela had done. “Because of her, Jamie decided to give me the taste of my own medicine when in reality, I was innocent.” He murmured, wanting to meet Jamie again.“There is someone wanting to meet you.” The nurse saw Roy awaken in the bed and announced the arrival of some guests.“It must be Jamie.” He announced and nodded to the nurse. Quickly trying to fix attire but his forehead was wrapped up in a bandage. He wasn’t wrong, Jamie walked ins

Kathleen had just returned home in the morning after her shift from the bar and instead of getting inside her room, she crashed on the living room’s couch. She was tired and couldn’t really think of getting up any time soon, but she had it in her mind that after a few minutes, she will go back into her room. Eloise had come back after Ryker apologized to her for ignoring her but things were still pretty strange between them.Kathleen had fallen asleep eventually and the morning arrived. Ryker woke up before everyone else like every day and as he left his room for the terrace for a workout, he found Kathleen passed out on the couch.“Hm,” he sighed, secretly looking back at his room to see if the door was locked and Eloise was not awake. Ryker was shirtless, holding his cipher from which he was going to prepare his protein shake. He stayed by her side for another few seconds, watching her innocent, beautiful face and as he planned to leave, he no

“You know what? Think whatever you want to think. I was done going back and forth with you. You want an apology? Fine, I am sorry that I don’t have proof to comfort your aching soul.” Kathleen finally noticed the tears in the corner of her eyes but she swallowed them as quickly as they were born.“Now go and spend time with Eloise and let me be happy in my life.” Kathleen turned away from him as his sight was affecting her. It was true that the proof against her was too strong but she couldn’t stay feeling guilty and trying to prove her innocence when she had nothing but her words in her defense.“Don’t tell me what should I do and what not, if you didn’t mend your behavior I will throw you out of here and take away our son from you.” Ryker didn’t know what he was saying in anger. Part of him knew he was wrong for threatening to steal a baby away from a mother but the other part who felt betrayed was jus

“What?” Ryker showed resistance but Eloise had pulled out some small bottles.“You wanted the pain to go away? You were looking for alcohol? Why not try these? Trust me they work better than anything in the world.” Eloise cupped his face in her hands and uttered, “You need to be strong in order to fight Alec, and with this pain, you will never be strong.” She kept on insisting while Ryker freed himself from her and got up to sit in the bed.“You don’t even want to be strong for your son?” Eloise shook her head in disappointment and then watched him slowly considering her option.“These things cause addiction Eloise; don’t you know that?” Ryker was nervously watching the needle in her hand as she played with it between her fingers.“No they don’t unless you start taking them on daily basis,” Eloise frowned and quickly proved him wrong, “Did you ever know that I

This café was Alec’s favorite; it wasn’t a fancy one but a very cozy little café with a library theme.“They spend most of the time in the bedroom and even miss the days with Juan. I don’t want my son to be around nannies while the father is locked inside the room.” Kathleen couldn’t believe Ryker was ruining his life like this. “He is slacking on work, his brand is doing so damn well but I fear if he kept being so irresponsible, his brand will fail very soon.” Kathleen hadn’t told Alec about Ryker doing drugs, she was well aware of the damage it could cause Ryker if the news acciden

He was extremely worried for Willow’s mental health as well, but he was not able to do anything until he saves his own girl and son."Something happened!"

“Jamie!” Willow's eyes blocked her from watching Jamie, who lowered her face when asked about the cops. Willow was shocked to see she had connected so well with Jamie back when Jamie needed a roof over her head.“She knows what is beneficial for our child and her,” Paul smiled widely, happy to have his wife on his side, “I am so happy you are here, babe.” Paul rushed into Jamie’s arms and hugged her tightly.“I knew you would understand me,” he cupped her face and murmured on her lips, “I am not a bad person, I just need to get this frustration out on someone and I don’t want to do that to you since I love you,” he hugged her again and whispered, he then broke the hug to go back to Willow, who seemed to have lost all the hope in humanity.“I thought we were friends,” Willow’s lips uttered to Jamie, “I thought you were a better person.
