Chap.99*The Celebrity In Town*
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“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 Toxic Marriage Chap.102*Take Off Your Shirt*
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

“Who was it?” Kathleen found it weird that Ryker didn’t let Kathleen hear who he was talking to. She was watching Ryker’s face and he did look suspicious.“Roy!” Ryker lied, stealing his eyes from Kathleen, who wanted him to look in her eyes and repeat himself again.“Who were you talking to?” she questioned again and this time, Ryker did make eye contact with her.“Let’s get some rest, we have a long day ahead.” Ryker grabbed her hand to take her to bed but she snapped out of his grip almost immediately like she was terrified of his touch.“I won’t forget what I saw in your eyes that day until you give me enough prove to make me believe whatever you did that day was just to keep me safe.” She walked back to the mattress instead of the bed and laid down to avoid further discussion.Ryker stayed put to his spot for a few seconds and then gave up, walking over to the

Alec had fallen asleep on the floor while waiting for the weather to get better and when Mrs. Nora woke up in the morning and heard from her daughter that Alec came all the way over to ask about the money, she felt like he had suspected them of hiding money.“Wake up!” Mrs. Nora kicked Alec in his stomach, which made him jolt awake in pain. Penny didn’t care either because of how he had rejected her last night.“What the f***! Why would you do that?” Alec complained, rubbing his stomach and glaring at Nora with the sleep-covered eyes.“You think of us as thieves? Do you know you are only able to live here because we’re letting you?” Nora bent over Alec and glared at him to let him know who was the owner of this town and who could get him kicked out in a heartbeat.“I w---he told me to go and get the money, what was I supposed to do?” Alec lied as it was his greed that made a fool out of him,

“Why didn’t you tell me all this?” Kathleen sat down with him on the bed, fighting if she should hold his hand or still be angry at him for how he treated her when it wasn’t even his intention to do so?“I was dealing with a lot and the person in my ear wasn’t very helpful.” He recalled all the things Eloise had made him feel and do as she influenced him.“I don’t know what to say, I am angry because now I don’t even have a reason to be mad at you.” Kathleen found herself being trapped once again. It would have been so easy to blame and be mad at Ryker but now that she had come to know he was dealing with something so worst, she could not help but forgive him. He suffered so much, thinking he was trying to protect and save his wife and son.They both have suffered through the hands of their fate. She couldn’t praise him enough for coming all the way here with these hallucinations that could

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.

“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.
