After a few hours of Olivia coming to her senses, the cops were being called and the number one suspect was Ryker. Though things were kept hush-hush because of his status and the uncertainty and lack of evidence against him, he was still pretty stressed out.
“So you found her in the woods?” the investigator sat across the table from Ryker and asked him. He had been in the interrogation room for two hours now and nothing could get him to remember if he hurt her or not. Instead of going with his uncles’ words, he decided to go with what he saw that night.
“Yeah! I saw a man carrying a big trash bag so I followed him.” Ryker repeated for the fifth time while the officers studied the details of his expressions.
“And you happen to be in the woods?” the investigator wasn’t buying his story, he was inconsistent whenever he tried to explain why he was wandering in the woods.
“Listen! I was there to take
“Hey!” Kathleen heard a loud noise calling for Alec from outside the house instead of knocking on the door. She knew Penny had come back and probably brought someone with her because Kathleen could hear another woman’s voice from behind her.Kathleen had baked a cake for Alec as he had asked her to and now she was waiting for him to come out of the bathroom. She didn’t want to answer the door and deal with these ladies alone so she stayed back and let Alec appear with a towel in his hand and drying his hair.“Who is it now?” it took him a minute to realize it was Penny and her grandma, “Oh My God! you are doomed!” he stared at Kathleen and then gave her an apologetic smile as if he was informing her of the danger she had called upon herself by punching Penny.As he opened the door, Mrs. Nora and Penny barged in, “Where is that witch!” Mrs. Nora was holding a bat in her hand to deal with Kathleen.
By the time Roy arrived, Ryker had gotten freshen up to not look sick or ill. He welcomed Roy and instead of taking him to Kathleen's room like last time, he stayed in the lounge to be attentive to Olivia, who was sleeping now."How are you feeling Ryker?" Roy, who had noticed some things in their previous meeting, asked Ryker in concern."I'm fine, why would you ask?" Ryker instantly felt guilty for showing Roy how crazy he had become in just a few months.
"You are telling me that there is a girl in your bedroom while you are too scared to get help? You can bring a random girl home without any fear of making headlines but--," Roy bit the inside of his cheek to prevent himself from saying something hurtful. The real reason behind his annoyance with what Ryker said was due to the fact that Ryker pushed Kathleen away because he did not want to hurt her, but brought another girl home with no fear of hurting her?"What?" Ryker watched Roy's face with a baffled mind and narrowed eyes, he had no clue why Roy was saying all that stuff."You have a girl in your bedroom," Roy formed a straight line of his lips and tilted his face to watch Ryker’s face in disbelief.“Yes!” Ryker responded without any hesitation but was confused at Roy acting weird.“You slept with her and now she won’t leave?” Roy jumped from point A to Z really quick, making Ryker’s mind take a solid minute b
“What are you saying?” Roy was trying to persuade Olivia that nothing had changed about her and that she was still the same Olivia he had known.“I am—not---,” she couldn’t even meet eyes with his eyes, it was a heartbreaking time for her. She was able to see Roy again, but now she was all broken and shattered. The emotions she was seeing in his eyes were not love but sympathy.“Please just calm down and listen to me, please?” Roy held her hand and pulled her onto his chest once again and this time, she didn’t resist much. She was in desperate need of support and comfort.“Nothing changed about you,” Roy whispered again. Although Olivia wasn’t fighting him off anymore, in her heart, she knew now Roy will sympathize with her.After they had calmed down, Ryker sat down with them. She hadn’t raised her face from Roy’s chest, hearing his heartbeats going up and down.He
Mrs. Nora went out to get the sleeping pills before Alec and Penny even arrives back to get ready to greet the first customer.Once Mrs. Nora had brought two glasses of juice, she left for the fields to hide in there for the time being. As planned, Alec and Penny came back home before the arrival of the customer, they looked tired.“What is this?” Alec saw Kathleen bringing him juice glasses in a tray and his alarm bells started to go off, they never had oranges in the house.“Mrs. Nora had left these here for you two.” Kathleen was quick enough to come up with a lie so satisfactory that both Penny and Alec didn’t question the juices and gulped them down like they had been thirsty for ages. Now Kathleen was waiting in the corner, watching them getting dizzy by every passing second.“Do you think the guy will come over ---soon?” Penny asked Alec, yawning very sleepily.“I don’t know,” Alec
“I am so sorry for doing this to you but you would have left me long ago if I hadn’t done all of that.” Eloise never thought she would have to do so much just to keep Ryker near her. She flopped down on the couch, “My father!” as she proceeded to talk, tears choked her into silence. Ryker was watching her silently, not sure how he should react to her betrayal. He trusted her and she poisoned him into solitary, he went crazy and the person close to him was the reason behind it.“We were a happy family once,” she recalled her childhood in tears. Ryker knew there was a trauma behind her actions, he sat down with her to understand her one last time, to hear what she has to say, “My father and mother used to love me.” She was breaking down into a flood of tears, “then one day, I heard them arguing about my father’s affair with his secretary. I was mad at my father for ruining our house, our happy family. Soon, my fa
Willow had wanted to meet Jamie as she couldn’t greet her whenever Jamie had visited her. Lewis and Willow visited Jamie’s mansion and when impressed to see how beautifully she had decorated her home.“How are you feeling now?” Jamie asked Willow, who had recovered fully by now but sometimes she would still remember Scarlet’s eyes and feel guilty, even question herself for being responsible for her demise.“I am fine,” she nodded and looked around at the trees in Jamie’s garden. It was nothing less than a fairy tale garden and Willow was living for it.“She is better than ever,” Lewis smiled at Willow as she looked around and exhaled a breath full of air. He now understood the difference between being in a healthy relationship and a toxic relationship.Willow had helped him understand that the people around him are not his enemies, unlike what Scarlet had done.“Oh babe, come a
Alec changed his side when his phone kept beeping under him. He lazily tried to grab the phone, but Penny had hugged him from behind in her sleep again."The biggest leech of my life." He grunted and pushed her into keeping a distance between them. He had to rub his eyes hard to be able to see the caller ID,Oh no!
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
