All Chapters of Night + Rum = Passion : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Nathan A lot of thoughts ran through my mind as Riley was being reckless. Seeing her put Nancy in her place was really heartening but seeing her run in to the road and board a parked vehicle was the most stupid thing I had seen in all of my existence. In seconds, I opened the cab door and pulled her out, yes she was upset with me and I couldn't figure out how to deal with her rage especially since I was very instrumental in her memory recovery. Everything was happening so fast, one moment I was preparing breakfast for the both of us with her in my clothes and the next we were on the streets fighting. It was all draining but I wasn't going to let her slip off my hands so easily, I wasn’t going to lose her to Nancy's psychotic schemes.Even after all of that, Riley was still being adamant and head strong, she was still arguing with me and not listening. “That man nearly kidnapped you, Riley. If I didn't pull you out of that cab you would have ended up in God knows where. You could

RileyI was heartbroken and a bit sad when I heard Liam's question. Yes he probably didn’t want to see me again and if that was his decision then it was ultimately justifiable but it didn't mean it did not hurt us both to be apart from each other especially since I had returned to New York city. We were bound to run into each other one way or another, plus knowing he was upset with me was only doing to make my return uncomfortable.I opened my eyes to speak, but Tina tapped me, making me look towards the entrance, which was apparently where Liam’s eyes had been the entire time.Standing at the door in half a panicked state was none other than my favorite discomfort. Nathan Martinez. He was breathing hard like he had ran from Texas to New York. Even if he did that I wouldn't feel sorry for him because I didn't ask him to follow me.He definitely took the next available flight or used a helicopter, I didn't know, I didn't care, all I knew was that he wasn't welcomed in my life.I loo

RILEYTina and I sat in the living room, talking, after Liam left to talk with Nathan outside. A lot had happened in the three days that I had regained my memory and it was incomparable to the three years I had lived my life without them. The longing to know who I was, was no more but the pain of remembering was worse."Riley," Tina placed her hand on my cheek and adored me with her eyes. Tina always did this in the past but the difference was instead of her usual beautiful smile and eyes full of love. She had a sad smile with her eyes holding a glint of sorrow, tears pooled in her eyes. Unshed tears glistened her beautiful eyes but she was holding back, she was trying to put up a strong facade before me."Tina please," I held her hand and squeezed it gently, she lost all the self control she had borrowed from God knew where."Riley, please don't be hard on your brother for not being by your side all these years. Please find a place in your heart to forgive him. He loves you genuine

NathanEverything was happening so fast yet in my favour. I was halfway to success but I was still yet to tell him the entire plan. "I would call Ethan right now and ask him to stay back and keep an eye on that bitch, I'm sure he is making plans to chase after Riley and I with Leah.""Good, please do that right away." Liam encouraged me, you could see the worry lines etched on his forehead as he spoke.Ethan's line kept ringing but he didn't pick up. So I dropped him a text hoping he'd see it as soon as he picked his phone up. Ethan was the kind of guy that checked his phone often because he believed in the power of communication more than anything else. "Did you get through to him? How is Leah? Is she still with him?" Liam's questions were endless but I did not count it against him because if was in his shoes I'd have started throwing punches about. "Not yet but I left him a message." "We can make do with that for now. So Riley would stay here a while I guess to keep her from har

LEAHFEW HOURS AGOI picked up my phone after such a time with Ethan and saw a lot of missed calls from Riley. I bet she was worried sick about me but her text calmed me and I knew she knew I was safe and with Ethan. Kudos Nathan, who else would have told Riley that?I tossed my phone aside and snuggled closer to the man that made my heart beat regularly. He was beautiful, I traced my fingers along his jawline and admired the stubble on his jaw."What are you doing?" Ethan grabbed me by the waist and pulled me over him without opening his eyes.I chuckled and tried to free myself from his hold. "Let go of me you." "No," he opened his eyes but he looked very serious. His expression and tone didn't match my jovial one."I mean it this time Lee, I'm never letting you go again. Ever again." What was he saying?I was just joking but he was being very serious so I dropped my gaze to his bare chest, my face completely flushed."Where are you going" he asked when I tried to roll off his bod
