All Chapters of Night + Rum = Passion : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

RILEY From the moment Leah left the company alone this evening, I couldn't stop worrying. This was the first time she'd do something like this and it worries me badly. Leah seems to have changed so much in just one day. She has never had lunch without me for as long as I can remember but today, she did that. Words can not explain how hurt I was when she refused to have lunch with me today and now this. I didn't know how to feel or react. But honestly, Isn’t she overreacting about this? It wasn't like I signed a business contract with an ex just to get back together with him. Driving back home that day was torturous, I was so used to having a chatty Leah next to me each time. “I miss you, Leah,” I mumbled. Before I could realize it, tears were trickling down my face. After driving for about twenty minutes, I finally got home. Upon reaching home, I made a quick decision to make Leah’s favorite dish and surprise her with it when she gets home. I didn't even bother changing my

NATHAN After meeting with Riley, after she signed and finalized the deal, I felt like the happiest man on earth. I felt joy making my heart thump, not because of the business deal but because I finally got an excuse to stay next to her, an excuse to right my wrong and bring my love back to me.After meeting up with her that day, I headed home in excitement. Yes, I felt guilty after listening to all my mum had to say about how I hurt Riley, I was still feeling guilty but then I didn't want to dwell in guilt. I wanted to make a move to bring her back into my arms to make her mine again. My forever cherished memory will always be the night we spent together. I might have acted like a motherfucker after that, but that didn't change the fact that she is the only woman in my heart. The only female my heart beats for, the only female I could feel safe and comfortable around. I could remember the first day I met her, it was at my brother’s house, how graceful she looked in her long flowing go

RILEY Grayson’s punch on Nathan’s face sent me scrambling out of the car. Before I could even get out of it, Nathan had returned the favour.I slammed the car door shut and hurried over to the duo that were now throwing punches at each other like they have a long time grudge or something. Grayson was having a nosebleed and his face was not in good shape.Nathan on the other hand seemed to be enjoying beating up Grayson like a kid. He was clutching Grayson's collar while selling punches to his face like it was some celebrity scandal newspaper.“Nathan Martinez!”I roared out his name, alarmed by the pitiful state of Grayson’s face.Nathan didn't spare me a glance and continued dealing out punches to Grayson’s face. At that moment, I knew I had to do something, otherwise my company might end up being a murder scene. Not giving it a second thought, I launched myself at them. Intending to knock Nathan’s hand off Grayson’s collar. Instead of knocking his hand off Grayson’s collar, I some

NATHANStarting from the moment Leah took Riley away from me in the conference room, I felt really bad. I instantly followed them, only to hear Leah angrily lashing out at her. Knowing that I caused the rift between the sisters made me feel guilty, my heart ached due to the pain I've caused Riley, but I still couldn't give up on her. Not now, not ever. After Leah left her in there, bumping into me as she found her way to the elevator, I made my way into the room, only to see Riley who I suspected was already sick, looking downcast. And worst of all, her eyes were glossy.Her tears are my weakness. I couldn't stand the sight of a drop of tears, running down her elegant face.When I got close to her and she tried to push me away, it made me feel her body temperature, confirming that she was really sick. Worried, I decided to bring her to the hospital with or without her consent.When that Grayson dude blocked my path, it reminded me of the day he slept over at her house. I was so clou

RILEYWhen I decided to let Nathan drive me home, I never expected to be caught up in a drama between him and his assumed lover. I never thought he was dating anyone, considering how he has been all over me ever since the first day we met.But then I must have been really crazy to think that a healthy, wealthy, and exquisite looking guy like him was single. We might have dated in the past like I suspect, but that doesn't mean he would stay single forever.For some reason, the sight of the lady twisted a painful knot within me. I've never in any way thought of harming anyone in my entire life, but the moment I laid my eyes on her, thoughts of various ways to harm her filled my head. It was as if I had become a completely different person at the sight of her.I turned away to leave, repulsed at the vile thoughts I was having for another. I was ashamed that I got caught up in their lovers' quarrel, I was ashamed I had ill thoughts towards another probably because of a man I'm not even to
