~KeleighDealing with the reality of what had happened got me a little worked up and even though I tried to assure myself that nothing would happen to me, it was still so hard to get over it.“Nothing will happen to you. You will be fine. You will be safe.” He assured and I hoped it would really be so. I just wanted to be safe from him. I know how terrible he could be. I went on to tell him everything that went on between us and everything that happened.Ryker's brows furrowed immediately and I could tell he was quite upset at what I had just told him. His brows furrowed immediately as he stared at me.“Say something….” I finally spoke as his silence was killing me. “Are you upset with me?” I probed and he shook his head immediately. He held me even closer.“I am not upset with you. Nothing will happen to you. You will be fine. I am going to make sure I protect you as much as I can.” Ryker assured me and I nodded. I really did hope nothing would go wrong.Just as I was about to head b
~Keleigh“I want to take revenge. I am not happy with she being out there doing nothing. Besides, I do not trust her. I do not trust her as well as Jake. I do not want any harm to come to me or any one of you.”“Come on. You do not have to think of it. Nothing is going to happen. Neither of them can do anything.” Ryker advised and placed his hands on my chin. He tried so hard to make me be calm but I did not want to. That is the last thing I wanted.“They can do anything.” I responded and took a few steps away from him and furrowed my brows.“I do not agree to this. You have no idea how this duo can he. Both of them are dangerously dangerous and I kid you not, they are quite violent. What if they both agree to come together and in the process, they try to harm me or do anything stupid?” I questioned, trying so hard to not look at him. Of course, there was no way I was taking the risk.I knew how dangerous they could be.“Nothing will happen. You just have to take your mind off it, you
KeleighRetiring to my room for the night, I let out a sigh as I was quite exhausted. The day had been indeed hectic. Of course, we had fun and had a lot of enjoyment but it was still tiring. I had a gazillion thoughts running through my mind when I was suddenly stopped by Roman.My eyes widened in shock as he was the last person I expected to see. My brows arched even more as I was upset at the fact that he stopped me.“You have been avoiding me for days. What exactly happened? Did I do anything wrong to you?” He tried to touch me but I avoided his touch. That was the last thing I wanted. I rolled my eyes and crossed my hands.“Well…. I….” He continued.“I had a busy day. I do not have the luxury of time to waste here so I would appreciate it if you cut to the chase.” I responded almost immediately, losing my patience.“Well… I just wanted to k ow what has happened. You have been avoiding me. I just want to know what has gone wrong. Please, speak to me.” He pleaded.“I am not avoidin
~KeleighHappiness was an understatement of how I felt when Ryker and I walked. A thousand emotions flowed through my veins all at the same time. I was however surprised when he took me to the garden? Of course, it was the same place u had always been but this time it was not well decorated that it could be mistaken for someone else.A wide smile formed on my face as I stared in amazement.“I want us to have a private breakfast, away from everyone in there. No maids, no servant, just you and I.” He spoke and I nodded. It was quite strange but it was also a beautiful experience and I could not help but be excited.Like a gentleman, he pulled out the chair for me to sit and I did as requested before he walked over to the other side to have sit, a smile on his face as well. He served me the meal and I could not help but stare at him. He was indeed a perfect gentleman.“Arnold would have joined us this morning but he had to tend to something important that could not wait so he had to leav
~KeleighHe had a worrisome look etched to his face and for a couple of minutes, I had to question my sanity. I knew I had not lost my mind but I could not figure out what was going on. I was so worried and it had began to get into me.“Where….” I swallowed the lump of saliva that had formed in my throat. “Where is he? What mission is he on? He he gone so far away?” I questioned again.“I have no idea what is going through your kind right now but you just have to be relaxed and calm. Nothing is going on. Nothing has happened and nothing will happen. He will be fine.” He tried to reach out to me and I yanked off my hands off his. I had no idea what was going on through his mind but he seemed so clam and relieved.“I am just worried. I want to know where he is and….”“Did I miss something?” I suddenly heard him call out to me and I turned to look at him. I had no idea he was already close by. I had no idea when I was suddenly ran towards him and embraces him tightly.He was quite hesita
KeleighFiguring out what should happen was something I could not get so quickly. A thousand thoughts ran through my mind.“Do you have a plan?” Ryker questioned and I shook my head. He turned to look at him and he shook his head almost immediately. I let out a sigh as I buried my head in my palms. We had to do something about it no matter how long it took or whatever it was going to take. I just could not let it go just like that.“We will figure it all out.” Ryker assured me and placed his hands on my should and I nodded. He led me in almost immediately with Arnold by his side and I could not be more grateful that I had a shoulder to lean on and I had someone to talk to. The feeling was quite surreal. It made me joyful once again.We had lunch again and I went over to my room to have a quick nap. No sooner had I gotten into the room when someone barged into the room with a frown etched to his face.“How.. What are you doing?” I questioned as I stood up immediately but he matched fo
~KeleighI was startled, seeing who had come in. My blood froze and I was enveloped with shock. First, it was what had happened and secondly, their sudden barging in. Of coarse, the door was locked but the force they applied…. Had granted them access in.“Are you okay?” Arnold questioned, looking at me with scrutiny, like he was searching my eyes for answers. Ryker looked quite confused as well as he stared at me like I was losing my mind. I seemed to be more out of mind the moment Roman walked in, right behind them and I could not help but figure out what had just happened.“Keleigh…” Arnold called, bringing me out of my reverie and back to life once again.“Hmm?” I questioned, not knowing what to say. Roman's words somehow had an effect on me and it made me a little uncomfortable. I wasn’t so sure of what he meant. I knew how cunning he was and I understood he would do anything to have me but… could he lie about something so serious?“We heard you arguing with someone. Is everything
KeleighMy brows arched in disbelief and I really did hope it was not what I thought they were discussing. I was heartbroken and shattered by what I had heard them say. Did they really know what had happened? Did they have an hand in it? There was possibly no way that could happen.There was an inner conflict in my heart for a couple of minutes.A sudden grip on my shoulder made me shiver, bringing me back to life immediately. I had been lost in my thoughts.“What are you doing here?” Roman questioned, his voice barely a whisper. He looked around suspiciously to be sure no one was looking at us. Relief washed through me at the realization that he was the one there and not someone else.“You were right…” I croaked, lowering my head in shame and defeat. I felt so stupid and used once again . Why was everyone against me? Why was everyone betraying me?“Shhhh….” He placed his hands to my lips and led me away to a secluded place, from where they were. I could barely walk and instead, stagg
