All Chapters of ROYALS OF RIDGEWOOD: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

STORM I groan as I open my eyes, and I immediately jerk awake, feeling a little dizzy. My mouth is dry and my throat feels like sandpaper. I feel resistance in my hands and my legs as well. I am tied to a chair. I raise my head as I look around and sure enough, I am in another warehouse. A laugh slips out of me. I have come to have a special relationship with warehouses, maybe I should try to have another kind of relationship that isn’t as toxic as this one. Maybe, if I get out of here alive because, by the looks of it, I am going to have a hard time getting out of here alive. Men are loitering around the warehouse moving boxes of some sort and none of them are talking. They just move in sequence at this quiet pace and when I look at their waists, there are guns one is even strapping a few of them on his thigh, his chest trapped with a bullet chain. “Miriam!” I shout, ready to face the bitch, I am not here to people-watch. “I am awake you bitch, come and face me!” I shout and I f

STORM I am in pain and I am laughing. It's not because of the humor that Miriam has, no. The bitch can't tell a joke to save her life. It’s the fucking situation I am in. I can feel that my kneecap is broken, both of them and the pain is so blinding I forgot to breathe for a second when she hit me with that hammer. I should have known that she would have the same ruthlessness and sickening slow pace as her father. “I am sorry I wasn’t a real true friend like you had hoped, I had a mission to do and I did. I used you to get closer to your father, that's all.” “that’s not good enough,” she swings the hammer aiming for my right wrist and I jerk immediately, falling with the chair. The action causes me to use the element of surprise and I break free of the binds that were in my hands and I am grabbing her leg, pulling her down towards me. The men all of a sudden are shouting and I have no time to see what is going on but guns are going off. “you aren’t escaping from me this time,

COLE I am on this beach, that I don’t recognize. I am walking and I can feel the sand in my toes and the wind is whipping my hair and my face. I can feel how much I love it here and how much peace it brings me just being here. And then I see a figure lying from afar and I am suddenly running towards it. This figure, this person seems important. I stop a few feet away and the figure turns to look at me and I see its storm. She looks at me and then suddenly breaks into a smile and she is on her feet all of a sudden hugging me and I swing her round. “dad! I am so glad to see you I have missed you so much!” I am frowning but she doesn’t seem to notice it or see it because … I realize she isn’t seeing me, she is seeing someone else. Her dad. I sit down with her as she watches the waves and she is holding my heart close to her chest and then I realize she is crying. “what's wrong?” I ask her and she sniffles looking at me with this brokenness she must be feeling. “I had missed you

STORMI thought we would avoid it, but it's so clear as day that today is the day we all talk about it.Over the past few days, I have been feeling an array of emotions. From the anxiety, then anger, and now, scared shitless.This confrontation has been out of my mind but I can hear them so loudly, even when they don’t say anything to me.Cole is lying on the couch, and I am tucked up on him as the rest of the boys all stream inside his bedroom and close the door. Landon leans against the door and I immediately take off.Kyle seats on the chair by the large window and Dean is leaning against the huge shelve.I sit up, not loving the element of surprise because since we came home, I have always made sure I wasn’t cornered by them but today it looks like they are doing just that. I feel somewhat betrayed when Cole doesn’t meet my eyes and I wonder if they had all planned this and he had lured me into cuddling before the others came in to keep me in place.See, whenever they all filed in

STORM“This is interesting,” Nick emerges from the shadows wearing his usual smirk and I can't help but feel a rool of disgust wash over me when he looks at me.“maybe we don’t need all of this audience,” Xaver claps his hands twice, and just like that, the men who were surrounding us fall back into the shroud of darkness leaving the four of us.“Well, Teresa, nice to meet you again.”I look at my mother who sees me like she has seen a ghost and I feel her hand trembling.“Mom, what's wrong?” I ask her but she-cat even replied to me as she is looking at Nick like she wants to cry and tear his head from his body in the same breath.“yes, what's wrong? do tell. Did you see someone you weren’t supposed to see? Never thought you would never see ever again?” xaver taunts and I can only look at them in confusion.“spare her, she is only recovering from shock after so many years,” Nick says as he comes forward and brushes a thumb over my mother's cheek.What the…“get away from her,” I snarl
