2024-10-29 19:42:56After Ryker left to take a shower and get ready for the dinner Kathleen had cooked for them, Kathleen quickly set the dinner table and waited for him. She wanted to speak to him about Eloise and what else was happening in their lives.
Alec is Calling!
She saw her phone on the couch and sighed, “You were not a rebound, I swear!” she uttered under her breath, not attending his 100th call. She had been ignoring her for some time now after she had told him that she will leave Ryker. It was sad that she feared if she attended his calls, he will force her into leaving him and she couldn’t do it.
The reality of leaving him was too much for her.
She put her phone on silent when Ryker came out after he had taken a shower.
He sat down with her and started eating the food very silently. He still had a lot of questions in his mind, was she feeling sympathy towards him?
Was he really being selfish and made her stay with his d

The night was hard for Eloise to pass, she had these constant nightmares of losing Ryker and now that Kathleen had clearly told her that she will be keeping an eye on her, Eloise felt trapped. There was no way she could do anything without getting caught by Kathleen, she thought.Ryker was in the bathroom, getting ready for the bed whilst Eloise laid in the bed and stared at the roof. She didn’t know what to do now, if she gave him any more medications or if Kathleen found out about his condition, Eloise will be blamed for everything. Besides, she can’t let Ryker get help.If he told Kathleen about his hallucinations, she will force him to get help, and then the next thing you know, he will get better again and she can’t let it happen.Ryker appeared out of the bathroom with an extreme headache, he was feeling dizzy. He raised his face and a loud gasp heaved across his lips, making Eloise lift her head up and see what had caused Ryker to react
The Toxic Marriage Chap.59*Actually A Villain*
Roy had called Mr. Hyes after just a few days of meeting him and then they met up at a bar Roy could never imagine visiting. All the rich people were there with their girlfriends or wives; the whole atmosphere was completely different from the bars he used to go to. He had eventually started to stop thinking about Jamie in order to move on with his life.“Roy!” Hyes mumbled, taking a sip from his drink and scanning Roy."Why don't you work for me? I have a small apartment and I need a house sitter for it and from what I've noticed, you seem noble. I can trust a person like you." Hyes offered Roy a job that will help him save money as well as a roof over his head and a 3 times meal."Thank you so much," Although Roy wanted to do something creative and business related, he was very thankful to Mr. Hyes for offering him the best job in months. He could use this job to save some more money and maybe someday, he can start his own business."And don

The next day came with a surprise for Eloise, she found Ryker sitting on the couch, dressed up in a suit and all set to act on the plan.“What is happening? Are you going somewhere?” Eloise rubbed her eyes, making sure she wasn’t dreaming.“Let’s do it, let’s make her leave me.” He whispered, shocking Eloise into smiling a bit, “I will make sure she hates me so much that she calls Alec to pick her up the next minute.” It broke his heart to even imagine her in pain but some people are just not meant to be together. Ryker was never going to get his happy ending, not any more so he wished Kathleen to have her happy ending instead-but in order to do so, he needed to show her how evil he was.“Thanks for putting them first before yourself for once,” Eloise’s words made him close his eyes and feel bad for not thinking about Kathleen’s happiness before.Where Eloise asked him to wait f

“Hey!” Willow was waiting for Lewis to arrive from the office. He had started helping his mother and Mr. Parker, who still didn’t want to be around Lewis. He wasn’t very keen on knowing Lewis after that young lad did his sister so dirty. The baby sister who had jeopardized her entire life so that she can pay the hospital bills was treated so badly by him. Mr. Parker was a man of his words and always appreciated those who were genuine and loyal and definitely, Lewis didn’t strike as one to him.“Oh! I didn’t know Miss. Willow would be waiting for my arrival.” Seeing her always brought a smile to Lewis’s lips and teasing her had been comforted in this world full of negativity.“Save it! I just wanted to tell you to keep your girlfriend under check. I won’t be tolerating her bullsh** for too long,” Willow sounded annoyed as she had another argument with Scarlet before Lewis’s arrival.&ld

“Why are we here?” Kathleen stepped inside the apartment and looked around to have a good look at it. It did not look like the mansion he had taken her before. She wasn’t concerned because it wasn’t that luxury mansion but because she did not recognize it as his home.“Dad is in the country and I haven’t spoken to him about us but don’t worry, I will do that soon.” Alec lied, pretending to be playing with Juan, who was giggling at Alec making silly faces for him. He just wanted to quickly get over this discussion because he didn’t want her to raise her brows at him in suspicion.“Oh!” Kathleen voiced, looking around and then noticing that empty photo frames that she didn’t know Alec left empty because he didn’t want her to see Mr. Hyes.“So, you brought all the valuables?” Alec questioned, taking the bag from her hand and mentally celebrating yet another victory. He was kee

“So when is the apartment going to be ready?” Roy saw Alec entering the room at the afternoon and found it appropriate to ask him as he wanted to start working soon. It didn’t take Roy a lot of time to understand Alec and his way of working. Alec was extremely lazy and inconsistent with his words, Roy didn’t like interacting with him, let alone sharing a room with him.“Umm, why do you care? Aren’t you happy to rest and still get paid?” Alec was shoving some stuff in a bag, some papers he had gotten from a lawyer. He had been very focused on Kathleen now that he was offered so much for her for only two nights.“No! I would like to work too. You didn’t answer my question,” Roy was annoyed at Alec acting like he and Roy were in any way similar. He was nothing like this dude, who talks about using girls for his benefit.“Umm, why don’t you take care of this mansion till then?” Alec gave i

“Where were you?” as soon as Alec stepped inside the apartment, Kathleen asked him in worry. She had been starving along with her son and there were no signs of him.“My father was constantly bugging me,” Alec sat down, filling his face in his hands and pretending to be tired. Kathleen rushed over to the kitchen to get him a glass of water and sat down beside him.“Bugging you? About what?” she inquired, offering him the water glass.“I spoke about us to him,” he mumbled, taking a sip from the water and then putting it back on the table in front of him. Kathleen felt a little uncomfortable hearing about that topic, she didn’t even know if she wanted to be with him anymore.Ever since Ryker hurt her again, she realized she can’t love anyone again. The weird part was that Alec didn’t even know that she had already decided to leave him but then Ryker turned to be such a monster that she didn&r

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.

"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.
