All Chapters of Surrender Freely: Lyker's Redemption: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

ALEXMy soul left my body when I saw him fall. I had been so happy to see him, impatient to show him all I had planned for the date that I didn't even fucking check out the surroundings. I didn't think anyone would make an attempt on his life since no one knew our location. Wrong. I was mistaken about that. Whoever did this must have followed me, carefully staying in the shadows without detection, something that wouldn't have been possible if I wasn't that eager to meet Ly. I would have known someone was tailing me had I not been too focused on the date. It was my bad for not paying attention. I carried Ly up from the ground after making certain we were alone. Whoever shot him must have been confident in their skills. Why else would they disappear after two shots without checking to know if he was dead? I carried him towards my car and gently placed him in the back seat. Just when I was about to rise so I could go over to the driver's side, he called out to me. “Take me home,” he

I didn't know how I left the house. After those words, I didn't get the strength to argue with him. He was right. Aithan would always choose him should it come to that. He had proven countlessly that his loyalty was with Viktor. While I didn't have any issues defying my father for him, Aithan would never do that for me. He loves his father too much to disobey him. He might have agreed to date me secretly, but that didn't mean he wouldn't go back on his promise should Viktor ask him to do that. I walked back to my car with my shoulders hunched. I wasn't giving up; you see. I was just too hung up on the words Viktor said to me. A knock on the window brought my mind back to the present. Frowning, I looked up at the person standing outside my window. It was the same man who had been helping me. The platinum blonde man. His honey-brown eyes stared at me, waiting for me to roll down the window, and I did. “What's wrong? Don't tell me Viktor still had things he wishes to discuss?” I lift

Viktor didn't show up in my room throughout that day. Pink was the one who came to help me with my bath and food. It was from him that I knew how upset Viktor was.“He's furious, isn't he?”“I haven't seen your father as pissed as he was when he asked me to take care of you.” Pink sat on my bed, looking at me with a concerned look. “Are you okay?”“I guess.” I let out a sigh. I wasn't okay. Not with Viktor this angry at me. It made me feel like such a failure…if only I could stop loving Alex. It would be better for us. “How do you stop loving someone?” I asked Pink before I could stop myself. "How can I get my heart to stop beating fast each time I see him?" It would be better if I could return to those days when he felt like a thorn in my side.Pink's expression softened, and he reached out to gently brush a strand of hair out of my face. He held my hand and pressed lightly, his eyes gently smiling with his lips. “I don't think you can." He smiled sadly, his expression distant. “L

AITHAN “Are you certain about this?” Pink asked for the third time since we left the house. “You can't do anything reckless, and you know that. Your father will only —”“If you didn't want to do this with me, you are free to leave. It's not as if I'm forcing you to go with me.” I would have glared down at him if I wasn't that focused on where we were going. Pink was frustrating me with his endless questions and his unnecessary fear.“I didn't force you to come with me, did I? You did that on your accord.”“Because I care for you, damn it!”Heaving a sigh, I stopped the car, almost sending us out of our seats from how hard I hit the brakes. Our seatbelts were the only thing that kept us from leaping out of the car, through the front window.“Are you trying to bloody kill us?!”“If you don't want to go with me, you are free to return home. I won't blame you for this.” I gestured with my eyes at his door, letting him see he could leave if he wanted. “I planned to do this alone. You we

I stormed towards his study, determined to talk things out with him. I couldn't let this slide. With Max acting the way he was, it would be difficult to get him to help me, which was the reason I returned home.To win him back, I needed to confront the man who changed his mind. I didn't bother to knock on the door. I opened it and stormed in, ready to give Marcus a tongue-lashing, only to pause in my steps when I noticed he wasn't alone.Luca and Sophie were with him. Luca wasn't the reason I paused in my steps. It all had to do with Sophie. She was the last person I expected to see. It wasn't Christmas yet, right?“Sophie?” I frowned, blinking to be certain I wasn't making things up. “Brother!” She got up from the couch and rushed towards me, smiling. “I've missed you!” She hugged me tightly to herself. “I've missed you so damned much.”At first, I didn't react. I was too stunned to do that. However, when she lifted her face towards me, I snapped out of it. “I missed you too.” I g
