“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!
“I’ve been looking for someone and I figured that they are here,” Ryker sat down with them to talk about Alec and Kathleen. He had done some research about Penny and Nora, they were the ones who were very close to Alec and also very known people of the town.“Here?” Nora asked and Penny giggled, thinking fate had brought him here for her.“Yeah!” Ryker bobbed his head and then rested his back against the chair to place his one leg over the other. Penny peaked a glance at his pants and the excitement in her body raised, she could only imagine how it must feel to be under him.“Alec Hyes!” once he pronounced his name, both Nora and Penny shared a glance in confusion. Alec wasn’t some popular guy to be friends with a celebrity like Ryker, so why would Ryker be looking for him?“I am sorry! But why are you looking for him?” Nora questioned when Penny couldn’t
Ryker noticed the fear in Kathleen’s eyes and blamed himself for how she was looking at him now. This was the girl who was never afraid to speak her mind, to fight with him, argue with him and even bend him to apologize to her but now she couldn’t even stand up for herself.The bruises on her body and face were ripping Ryker’s heart into two.“What happened?” Ryker repeated himself and took a step closer to Kathleen. His heart sank in his chest every time he took a step near her and she stepped away from him.“Why do you keep calling me?” Alec hadn’t been far away from the house; he was in the fields smoking to rest his mind from all the drama.“He is inside,” Penny shook his hand and eyed him to go inside and see for himself.“Who?” Alec frowned, rushing inside to see the tall man in his house. It didn’t take him another second to acknowledge this man was none other than
"Tell me, he did it?" Ryker changed his tone mildly and watched her from close enough, she was still the same girl he had met in his apartment, the same innocent Kathleen."Please, go away if you want our child's safety." Kathleen was trying to avoid the care he was showcasing via his eyes. She had been through that once where a little care from him has given her high hopes only to be left alone and humiliated later on. She was not going to let him fool her anymore, there was nothing left to do so anyway.
The night time arrived and Alec had brought a mattress from Mrs. Nora on rent for a few days."Oh, God! This looks so bad, I'll find those idiots." after Penny's lie made them look like a bunch of morons, Alec told Ryker that some people jumped on Kathleen when she was out on a morning jog.Kathleen and Alec were flopped down on the mattress with Alec ailing her wounds with the cotton bud, just to hurt Ryker, who was in the bed, pretending to be scrolling through his phone.He was watching them from the corner of his eyes with a much-hated look. He knew this bas*** had done this to her and was now even mocking her by taking care of her.Kathleen hadn't spoken a word like every day. Even though Ryker's arrival had shocked her, she was more surprised that even after what he did to her back in the apartment, her heart was feeling comfortable in his presence."Take off your shirt," Alec let out a sigh, hiding the smirk on his face. "Come on! The injuri
"Ryker?" Kathleen was terrified at what she was seeing. This isn't how she was used to seeing him. What was happening to him, who was he talking to?She rushed over to the bed and held his hand to remove them from his ears and make him hear her say his name."Ryker?" She gasped the instant she watched his face, he looked lost and empty.
Alec took more time than usual to reach Nora's house due to the bad weather. He kept taking breaks under trees whenever it started hailing."Open the door!" he was eagerly waiting for them to open the door so that he can get what belongs to him. Did he intend to give the money back to Ryker? Absolutely, No!"What the hell?" Nora kicked Penny to wake up and answer the door, "Tell your man to learn manners of not visiting someone's house at such odd hours. We are humans, not vampires, we sleep at night." Nora kept going on and on about how much Alec had bothered her in her sleep by bang
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
