He closed the glass door to the terrace and begin instructing them. I stood on the opposite side to them, watching them working out. Wow! The audacity of this dude to contradict his own statement in a matter of seconds was staggering. Now that I was stuck and wasn't allowed to leave the apartment, I decided to look around for my documents. Waiting for him to get completely absorbed by the girls, I walked away from the terrace. I secretly ran inside his room and went quickly through the closet and drawers. I couldn't find a clue to my stuff, but what I found was something I could use to protect myself.There was a letter too, which was from Willow to Ryker along with some of the letters Scarlet has written to her boyfriend but didn't send them. I folded the papers in my jacket and went out, sitting on the couch in the living room, I waited for them to be done with the workoutThe terrace door opened and out came Ryker,

 Ignoring the text, I opened the package and touched the money, is it all for me in my life now? Do I have to be suppressed all the time no matter how anybody treats me?I let out a sigh of distress and looked outside the window to see a car ceased in the middle of the road. I have seen that car, as I began to examine it, the car left, must be Ryker, but what was he doing here.I slid the package back to Cain, who was now not in a pleasant mood anymore and shook my head.  ''Thanks but I can't take these. I have found a job and ---'' I wanted to say something, but he had come prepared to humiliate me for not accepting his help.''And what is it this time? Are you going to sell yourself now?'' his words fell on my eardrums like hard solid rocks. The fact that they kept using such statements to bring me down was leaving me frozen. I raised my face in disbelief and my words remained in my mouth when I felt a tap on my shoulder.''Kathle

"Do you have any idea what you have done?" He growled, taking a step closer to my face. I had to take a step back to prevent our bodies from brushing together."I saved you," I uttered, definitely I didn't save him, but I saved myself though. Has Scarlet seen me here with her enraged boyfriend, she might have concluded that I somehow was the reason behind his finding out about her. We all know how the third party always gets blamed in a couple’s fight."How? Please Miss Kathleen will you elaborate?" He looked me in the eye aggressively and knitted his brows. His mood swings were getting worse. This whole situation with Scarlet has changed him a lot; he was never at peace."Last time when you tried to stop her, she threatened to leave you and if you had created a scene here, she wouldn't have to think twice before leaving you." I was quick enough to come up with an excuse that could satisfy him just enough to back down from glaring me in the eye. It was so

I woke up a bit early that morning. It has to do with what happened last night, I thought. As I took a shower to get ready for the gym, I realized it was too early and the girls might not even be awake by now. Having spare time in my hand, I decided to go for a morning walk. It’s been ages since I have enjoyed a good morning jaunt. The chirping of sweet little birds, the fresh morning breeze, the fog of winter, and then here it was me, wrapped up in two sweaters and socks like a burrito. To put it simply, it was so damn cold outside. The cut-off gloves weren’t doing a great job for my naked fingers, I swear I almost felt they were frozen. Pulling up the muffler to cover my nose, I started my walk. Slowly the birds too went silent as the cold began to grow intense. I hugged myself even tighter and marched towards the tunnel. As I kept walking towards the tunnel, my ears picked out some noise from behind me. I could be wrong because m

We stood there watching them getting intimate.''Look who's back, why did she come back?'' Willow whispered, looking at them as they romantically made out in front of us. I could hear the hidden anger and frustration in her voice. What she didn’t know was that Scarlet wouldn’t even care who her boyfriend sleeps with.''She is his girlfriend and our boss too,'' I replied, not wanting to look at them. They pulled back and started uttering something. I would be lying if I say I wasn’t feeling a bit of jealousy. ''I don't like her; she is faking her love for him,'' Willow muttered in her mouth and pulled her nose. It was weird how Willow’s observation made me agree with her inside my head. We both adjusted our posture when finally, Scarlet turned her attention to us. ''Hey girls, where are you coming from?'' She approached us while Ryker stayed behind and had his head in his phone's screen like he didn't care. Does he not r
