“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

"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

Alec took Kathleen to his building where he wanted to show her around."This is our place," Alec's voice echoed as he stood in the ginormous foyer, making Kathleen's eyes go wide open, "I built this with my own money,"She couldn't believe this is what this young man had built for himself."Wow! This is incredible," Kathleen mumbled very softly, the mansion was nothing like she had seen before. The white chandlers and the diamonds around the frames of most pricy paintings, everything was just spectacular."And---," Before Alec could mumble more, his secretary came into the view."Mr. Alec! I was beginning to wonder you will not arrive back home for the night." Rebecca was wearing a black tight skirt with high heels, the glasses she wore had a red frame that made her green eye color stand out even more. The woman was very put together but the element of motherhood lacked from the attire."Yeah! I was spending time with my girlfriend." Alec di

Eloise and Ryker took Juan and drove to Alec’s place. Since Ryker was already feeling drowsy, Eloise was driving the car whilst Juan was sleeping in the passenger seat in the car seat. His hand was getting sweaty constantly but kept telling himself it was because of the nervousness, he was indeed afraid of Kathleen getting angry at him for visiting her and probably ruining their fun time.“That’s t---,” Eloise parked the car from across the road and pointed at the car in sight. She purposely sounded surprised when their eyes were greeted by a shocking image.“I truly love you a lot,” Alec gently cupped Kathleen’s face in his hand as she rode him in the passenger seat. It wasn’t a se* in process, they have already reached the ending.Eloise steadily tossed her face to Ryker to see his reaction and she was content to see what she was seeing. Ryker had his eyes glued to them with tears sparkling through them.&

“What?” Roy smiled with full force, covering her body from the boys that had reduced their speed and were now slowly walking past them. Roy had his phone attached to his ear as he pretended to be on call.“The ga--,” Roy suddenly stopped talking and turned around to look at the boys, “I think I found the right people,” he whispered whilst sneakily observing the boys. His words made the boys share a glance and then step away from him to maintain a distance.“She did a great job bringing some birds right into the cage,” Roy smirked and that’s when the boys realized that they got played.“Turn ar---ound, turn ar---ound,” one of the boys mumbled in his mouth to his friends, who looked too shocked to even come up with a plan.“Hey, ummm we needed help.

Kathleen approached Ryker and squatted down to quickly scan him. He was curled up in a ball to prevent cold and talking in his sleep. Kathleen sat down with him and gently placed her hand on his arm, his skin felt ice-cold even from over the top of his shirt. “Moved on,” he was uttering in his sleep and shivering out of the cold. She knew whatever he was saying was somehow related to her, it was a surprise to her to see him suffering after her. Kathleen always believed that he was the one in the relationship who was confident and courageous to leave and move on without worrying about the broken soul he had left behind. “I want a car at the MC-89 Avenue road.” Kathleen dialed the driver’s number and informed him instead of calling an uber as it would grab the attention of the media outlets and paparazzi. “Why are you doing this to yourself?” she forced his head in her lap, rubbing his arms to keep him warm but the weather was excessively getting bad. She was n

Ryker wanted Kathleen to stay peacefully without having to look at Alec.Ryker had been informed about everything that went down with Paul and he was surprised that Paul turned out to be like this.

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.
