Ryan Winton

The door opened and Andrew walked into the bedroom. I was on the bed with my laptop taking a look at some new designs my assistant had sent to me when he walked in.

"How's your dad doing?" I asked looking up.

 "He's good. Just a headache. He had taken he's meds so I'm sure he'll be fine." Andrew replied. 

"That's good." I told Andrew and went back to work. Although deep down I really didn't care about his father's health. Truth be told I wouldn't even care If he died the next day. You may be wondering why I would say something so horrible. Well, that's probably because the man himself is the plain definition of horrible. 

David Miner is a bad person. It's a suprise his son didn't turn out to be like him. I'm actually really thankful for that. The man went as far as threatening me to leave his son or else he would hurt members of my family. Shocking? I know. He did that after he tried to bribe me with a huge sum of money but I rejected and threatening me was the next thing he thought of.

So don't blame me for the hate I feel for the man. He deserves it. Every single bit of it. The worst part of it all was that I couldn't even tell Andrew. I just couldn't. He loved his family and I never wanted him to stop loving them just because of me. I didn't want that for him cause I loved him so much. I kept it all to myself.

Andrew's family is toxic. And I hated being around them but, I have to. I have to, because I was married to their only son."

"Will your mum and sister be attending the anniversary party?" Andrew asked as he joined me on bed.

Yeah right. After what happened last year my mother and sister want as far as possible from the Miners.

"I don't know. I'll call and find out if they can make it." I replied with a smile on my face.

"Okay." Andrew replied. "I called Ryan. He said he'll be here." Andrew said to me and I froze. My brain stopped, my heart rate increased and my eyes widened in horror. Just because I heard that name.

"Listen Honey, I know you hate him, but his my friend and you know his always invited to anything I host." Andrew said pleadingly.

Hated him? Quite the opposite. If only he knew.

 "Honey I don't hate Ryan. I don't even care if he's here or not." I said as I closed my laptop. But that was a lie. 

I didn't want Ryan here. Not because I hated him, but because I hated the way I felt when ever he was around.

Ryan Winton is one of Andrew's best friends he was a total heartthrob! He's got the looks, the money, and the charm. He's always surrounded by admirers and he knows how to make an entrance. He's the life of the party and always the center of attention.

I had met Ryan years ago before I was married to Andrew. 

I was at Sweden for a fashion show when I met him. I remember seeing him for the first time and getting blown away by his looks. He had a strong jawline, a chiseled face, and shimmering brown eyes. His hair was brown marching his eyes and neatly styled, and he had a great smile. He looked confident and approachable.

I remembered how he smiled at me sweetly from across the room like no one was watching and it was just the two of us. After the show he asked me out for a drink and I Immediately accepted his offer.

We had so much in common it was surprising. He was an outgoing and confident guy who loves to make people laugh. He made me laugh so hard that night. He was fun to be around with and I fell for him. I fell really hard.

We dated. For a while, until I found out that he already had a girlfriend and I was some kind of distraction. I felt devastated because I was inlove with him. He begged me to forgive him but I couldn't. So I left. I left Sweden and I left him behind and tried to move on.

Atleast I thought I did until I met him again years later. Looking even better than he did before.

He was with Andrew who was then my fiance. Andrew was introducing me to his friends and Ryan was one of them.

Apparently Ryan had been his childhood friend. They had been friends since they were six. 

It would have been complicated trying to explain things to Andrew about I and Ryan's relationship in the past. But thankfully Ryan acted like he was meeting me for the first time so I played along.

But deep down I knew seeing him again wasn't good.
