"Hmm, she is your ex?" Olivia sat down with Roy on the bench in the park next to her home as he felt like drowning in guilt.
"Is she?" Roy broke the stare from the emptiness and watched Olivia's face for a reaction.
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
After Kathleen took Ryker home, instead of meeting Eloise, he went straight inside his room and slept the night away. Eloise didn’t want to disturb him and also she feared he might question her about that juice. She had decided to spend a few hours at her friend’s place so that the juice incident can be washed away from his memory before he wakes up.“Hm, I don’t know.” Kathleen had finished her daily chores and was now spending time with her son in the living room. Ryker hadn’t walked out of his room after their arrival and it’s been 12 hours by now.“Did you talk to him about divorce?” Alec questioned her on the call, waiting for good news. Kathleen hadn’t spoken to Alec about Ryker’s new habits. Alec knew all about her past in the very first phone calls they have made, she had told him about Ivan and Lewis, literally everything that was related to her but not a single thing about Ryker. Although
Roy had started working in a small bakery and had been trying his best to stay out of trouble so that he does not lose another job.He hadn't been able to see Jamie again but he did notice that she hadn't unfollowed him from her social media accounts yet hence he was able to see what she had been up to.He was busy decorating the cupcakes when his phone pinged and it got his attention.Olivia followed you!He frowned at the notification, remembering Olivia asking him about his social media accounts but he forgot and regretted it later.He hurriedly followed her back with a smile on his lips. After her shift, Roy would always walk her back home at night, and together they will eat din
“Can we take a picture with you holding my hand?” Roy asked Olivia, who had been watching him silently for the past few minutes as he scrolled through Jamie’s social media accounts. She had been really silent about her relationship with Paul and had yet to remove their old posts together.“You want to post a picture of us holding hands?” Olivia wasn’t born yesterday; I mean she had admitted to helping him.“Yeah! Just hands.” He replied, getting comfortable on the couch of her apartment. She lived in a mediocre apartment, though she was also struggling with money, she had still managed to keep her small apartment well put together.“Okay!” she whispered weakly, holding her hand out for him. The instant he held her hand, she shuddered her skin, his touch made her feel comfortable.She had never been this close to anyone like she had been with Roy these days. As he took the picture, Olivia lowered
The instant Olivia heard Jamie’s name from his mouth, she realized what she has done. All this time, she had been living a false fantasy, fooling herself with a thought that he might acknowledge her feelings for him.“Roy!” she protested under him, not wanting to proceed whilst he imagines Jamie in his mind.“What?” he was quick enough to notice her struggles and instantly stopped when she wanted him to. He raised his face from her neck and watched her face, his eyes widened in surprise at the sight of mist in her eyes.“Are you crying?” he asked in utter confusion before his brain signaled him at the possible reason, “I was not imagining you like her,” he swiftly defended his action but the damage has been done. Since she was silent and very shaken under him, he staggered up on his feet to get away from her. She sat down in the bed to cover her face in her hands, it was never her intent to show her emotions
"I have stopped giving him the medicines and he is not even using the drugs anymore but his hallucinations are getting worse." Eloise was speaking to her friend, she was the one who had told Eloise about the medicines, a corrupt doctor she was."So what do I do now, it seems like he is seeing things, " Eloise was sitting beside his bed, w
“You want me to go?” Kathleen murmured under her tone as she demanded eye contact from Ryker, “I mean, yeah that is what I wanted but---do you really want me gone?” she was baffled at her own mind for even coming up with such a question. She wanted him to let her go for so long and now that everything was working out perfectly, hearing him say he would free her made her feel even captured.“This is for the best,” he mumbled, keeping his head lowered and not raising his eyes.“For who? Best for who?” she steadily slid near him and to bury her face down in order to reach his face level, “Ryker! What is going on with you? You know you can share it with me, right?” Kathleen felt her heartbeat dropping as she had never seen him this broken before. Whatever was happening to him was now even hurting her.She had never imagined that his deteriorating health will be affecting her even after they have been throug
“If you want,” she murmured, “I mean, till you feel better,” she was making excuses to herself and him as well. Even he knew there was something that was stopping them both from moving on from each other so he didn’t question her again.“I don’t think I will be feeling better any time soon,” as he stated very innocently in hopes of making her stay, a fainted smile was formed across her lips.She had been angry at him for not believing her previously but once she had poured her anger out at him, she realized that if she was in his position, she would have done the same. After days of showing him anger and pushing him away, she had finally calmed down and started to think rationally.Ryker got up on his feet and hurriedly exit the room very happily, he didn’t want to stay behind and make a mistake that would make her change his mind so he wanted out of the room.Kathleen still wanted to know what was hap
Kathleen came back home to find the toys scattered around in the living room of their mansion.They have bought a new mansion while they gifted Olivia and Roy the previous apartment as a wedding gift.Roy and Kathleen started a restaurant and it was a success. Willow was pregnant and living her best life with her husband.Olivia had given birth long ago and named her daughter Sallie. She was still staying with Willow but had recently found a job and a boyfriend, who was actually very good and respectful towards her. She had planned to move out with him very soon.As for Kathleen, she was living happily with her family, her husband, and two kids."Ryker!" She stood in the living room and shouted, "Come downstairs,"Ryker stormed downstairs with his hair messy and his eyes red."These kids are devils," he complained and the instant Kathleen glared at him, he knew he was caught."They wanted me to build a castle," he shrugged his
It's been months that Paul was convicted and sentenced to jail time. Jamie was near giving birth and although she desperately wanted to hold her baby in her hands, she feared for the tough life she will have to face now.The way he tortured Olivia, he was still somewhere happy thinking he had scarred Olivia for life. What he didn't realize was that Roy had helped Olivia get over that trauma, she was happy and doing much better now.As for Jamie, she still wanted to meet Paul. There was an unfinished business that she needed to discuss with him."I'll be there right beside you," Kathleen ran a hand through Jamie's hair. She had agreed to take Jamie to meet up with Paul after Jamie expressed her urge to do so.It had been a few months that Ryker and Kathleen had returned back to their home and had asked Roy and Olivia to stay with them until they decide their next step.Kathleen knew Jamie was disappointed in herself for leaving a guy like Roy and fa
Kathleen had been crying in the hospital nonstop ever since she was brought in.Everybody was informed and on their way to meet up with Kathleen. They were informed about Ryker and they had nothing but well wishes for him.Lewis was still not sure how to get near Kathleen, now was not the time to speak to her about their relationship."Will he be okay?" Kathleen was resting her head on Roy's shoulder whilst Olivia was gently holding her hand and comforting her."Kathleen," Willow too arrived a little earlier than others."Kathleen!" she rushed over to Kathleen and hugged her. It's been so long that they all have not been together, it was time to catch up but first, Ryker needed to be fine.The doctor came out of the ICU and Roy staggered up to speak to him. Kathleen had been stressing herself out way too much to go and hear what the doctor has to say."He is fine, just resting." The doctor gave Roy the good news which Lewis too heard
"See this, I think he is headed to this town," Lewis told Roy and the cops as they looked through his laptop's history. He was searching for a not very well-known town and the road that not many people would be traveling through."That's it, let's go," the cop announced with everybody rushing out to their cars.They were still far away from the town but they had not lost their hopes.Cain had been super excited to see Kathleen right in front of his eyes. As he was about to draw his hands under her back and open the hook, he heard somebody knocking on the door."What!" he questioned himself, "did I miscalculate something?" he was shocked that he never asked the lady if she was staying here alone."Argh!" he swiftly got off the bed and rushed towards the door to check who had arrived.He had kept the knife in his hands in case he needs it.He knocked on the door instead of calling who it was and the voice from the other side shook him i
"What are you talking about?" Lady Lyl's anxiety reached a new level when she heard from her son that Kathleen had gone missing again."I got a call from the cops, they are looking after Cain. But don't worry, Ryker had sped after him, I'm pretty sure he will find her before Cain hurts her." Lewis had gathered everyone to discuss Kathleen.Olivia felt bad as this nightmare Kathleen was living won't end at all. She had been in a constant pain and suffering for months, when does this end for Kathleen?"Roy and I will also start searching for Ryker and Cain," Lewis gestured at Roy to follow him and begin the search."What's the plan?" Roy sat in the car with Lewis, hoping there was an easy way to find them before anything and happens."We will go and search Cain's house with the cops, he must have some information on any other property that he owns," Obviously, no way Cain can keep driving around with Kathleen. He must have a place like Paul where he
“You got everything?” Mrs. Nora asked Alec, whose phone rang and the color of his face changed.“Wait!” he pointed at them and then started listening to the call in horror. His blood was running cold and his body feeling shivers, he should have known that Ryker was up to something when he arrived here.“What happened?” Penny saw the horror on Alec’s face and couldn’t help but to ask him.“They have found Juan,” Alec mumbled in the most heart chilling tone, “Those leeches found Juan.” He repeated angrily. He messed up when he underestimated both Kathleen and Ryker, they were in on it since the beginning.“We should finish this job and run away before anybody catches up on us.” Mrs. Nora was now scared to get into a mess that Alec had started. Their names will already be mentioned by Kathleen but they didn’t know how much Ryker had told the others about Penny and Nora&
Jamie hadn't been able to get a grip over what happened, she was now all alone and soon to move out as Paul's business drowned. They had to sell the mansion to get over the losses.Jamie was staying at a hotel for two days until she runs out of money completely. She hadn't been able to communicate with anyone, she had no one left with her.She saw the incoming call on her phone and the caller ID wailed her eyes,Willow!"How do I speak to her? My husband tried to end her life, I'm so ashamed of what my life has become," She whispered and after Willow didn't stop calling her, Jamie finally picked up the call."Where are you?" Willow has heard about Paul going bankrupt, she knew Jamie would be in need now."Somewhere safe," asking for help after she left Roy for getting help from the Sam people seemed like an option she didn't want to take."Hey! We are not strangers and besides, you saved my life, Jamie," Willow had to remind her since
"What happened?" Kathleen and Ryker had been staying inside the house ever since he told Alec to leave them alone. 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 had sure known him to be the person who keeps eyes on girls when they are not watching, but he never thought he would be capable of something so heinous.He felt bad for the girl in his apartment, Olivia or any other girl did not deserve 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!" Ryker put his phone down and sighed, afraid that hearing about what Paul made Willow and Roy's new girl Olivia go through, Kathleen might get anxious."Is Juan okay?" she rushed over to the bed and sat down with Ryker. Her eyes were glued to Ryker'
“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. I remained to be friends with you
