“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

She expected to get home to an angry Ryker, with the contract copy in his hands to scare her but none of that happened. For the next few days, Ryker hadn’t even left his room, the house phone kept ringing and every time someone from his office called, Kathleen told them she had no clue why he wasn’t responding to them.Kathleen would see him here and there but he didn’t look like the Ryker she knew.“I understand but can I please take a day off tonight?” Kathleen was on the call with Daphne, convincing her to give her a night off. She had suspected that Ryker and Eloise were not taking care of Juan, the two nannies were in fact.“Thank you so much.” Kathleen sighed in satisfaction and hung up on the call, “What the hec* is going on with Ryker?” she gritted her teeth and went to have a word with th

“So what’s going on with those two?” Alec asked Kathleen, taking a sip from the hot coffee as he enjoyed the little break he got from the office.“I don’t know honestly,” Kathleen responded with a sigh, Alec had sent a driver to pick up Kathleen so that he could enjoy the break with her. 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

“What was all this Ryker?” Kathleen forced her body weight onto one leg and stared at Ryker in disbelief, “How do you explain your behavior?” she continued to ask him super annoyed. Her quizzical stare was making Ryker feel guilty, but why?Why would he feel guilty for protecting his own wife?“He was asking for you,” Ryker hunched over a little and shouted in desperation, “For my wife.” As he added, the anger on Kathleen’s face quickly changed into confusion.She was taken aback by Ryker being possessive about her when they were not even together anymore. The silence between them grew more intense, hinting that one of them owes the other some explanation.“Ryker! If I had behaved like this with Eloise back when you brought her home, how would have you reacted to it?” Kathleen tried to not think too deeply about his reaction, sometimes ignorance is bliss.“Just because I was wr

"Do you not realize what you are doing to yourself? I don't understand, what started such a downfall of you?" Kathleen rested her sleeping son on his bed and noticed how desirably Ryker watched him."So you are careless about your health but what about him?" Kathleen pointed at Juan, who was sleeping peacefully, "He deserves his father, he deserves a father who is there for him no matter what the circumstances, but currently, you are not even here for yourself. You are clueless, this isn't the Ryker I knew." Kathleen spoke as she looked him in the eye without any hesitation.She had moved past the fact that they had both hurt each other, there was no way they could live in the past forever, them moving on was the best decision."Why can't we forget about everything and start fresh agai
The Toxic Marriage Chap.43*Not Giving Up*
"Alec! It's not that easy. Besides, he had made me sign a contract which leaves me in a vulnerable state regarding my son if we ever get a divorce." Kathleen tried to give out as many of the details as she could in one sentence but there was still so much left out."What kind of contract? He can't make you sign whatever without your knowledge. Did you not read the contract or your lawyer didn't check?" Alec was confused at how naive Kathleen was for signing something that she had not read."I just know that the contract exists and I signed it in the presence of witnesses," Kathleen responded with a sigh."That cunning bas***," as Alec cussed at Ryker, Kathleen looked away anxiously. She nervously fidgeted with her fingers and promised to not show a reaction but failed."Our situation is different, both of us have done stuff to each other, either intentionally or unintentionally." she didn't like the fact that Alec was blaming Ryker and name-calling him wh

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!"
