“You did good,” I closed my eyes as he played with my breast whispering in my ear before biting my earlobe.
Everyone had left and the house was less crowded. After my conversation with Ty, I had watched him come down the stairs and noticed he had bruised his knuckles. Tom tried to walk to him, but he shook his head in fury before walking out.
I was disappointed when we got in. I was looking at an empty room. I thought that he had my mother in this room and since he was being nice, I hoped I had a chance to see her again.“What is this place?” I finally spoke with disappointment in my eyes.“This is my safe place, ” he responded taking a moment to admire the place as if lost in thought.
After Ryan had shown me his scars, he has not laid a finger on me. I had relaxed a bit and gotten used to him. He worked late, but he was making time to have small talk with me. He was not there yet, but he was starting to see me as a person.Ryan came back from work early and told me that his father wanted to see us for dinner tonight. When he told me, I was sitting with the wedding planner making the final arrangements. He was busy to help that he had practically told me to figure all the plans out.

Ryan told me he had to take a business call when this all happened, and I was having a hard time believing him.I ran up the stairs into the bedroom straight to the bathroom before locking it.

I had lied just as he had lied to me. I have no intention of going back over and I was planning to take my mother as far away from this city as possible.It was either dump or he had a tracking device on the ring he asked me to keep before I left.

“You look beautiful,” Ryan said as he twirled me while we danced.I wish the day would end, I was married to Ryan and had confessed my undying love to him for the sake of my mother. The wedding was in full swing as people drank, laughed, and admired a sham marriage.“When do you think we could leave?” I whispered at Ryan.
TiffanyThe wedding was everything I wanted mine to be but mine, of course, would have Ed Sheeran singing and classier. The bitch was going to pay for making this day her dream which was supposed to be mine. She had won the war, but the battle was not over yet.“We if it isn’t Maya Steel,” I watched as she walked out of her bedroom.
