"You all have been given quite a satisfactory amount of time to pick a dress for a presentation," Scarlet announced, watching our faces. We were standing before Scarlet in a line in the boutique, we were advised to wait for our time and then go upstairs, get ready, and come back from a walk.Nichole wasn't present among us and I was standing there wondering if she has informed Scarlet about her departure.Since Scarlet didn’t announce Nichole’s egress, I pondered if Nichole would get in any trouble regarding the contract they have made us sign for this job.Now about me, I've to come up with an excuse for not taking part in the task because Nichole would ask me about the bonus money and what I did with it. Damn! Why didn't I think about it earlier?We were standing down in the boutique, waiting for Willow to wear the dress for her presentation and walk do

The next morning, he was already gone when I was still asleep. He had told me to bring the dog from Cain the first thing in the morning and then give him a call. So I slept peacefully after he carried that burden away from my chest. I woke up late because we had a day off and then it reminded me of Cain, if I didn’t tell him I will keep his dog for a few days, he will try to locate me. Since Ryker has told me that he knows this guy who can help me, I can ask Cain to not take any unnecessary steps to find my location. It is also best to stay on the good sides with Cain and Meesha even when I don't want to. I decided to leave him a text.Me: Hey, I just asked my Boss and she is fine with me taking care of your dog. If you still want to, you can tell me a place to meet you. As soon as the text was sent, he replied instantly. So he was waiting for my reply. Cain: Sure. Just meet me at the same cafe

I didn't want him to bother me again. My world was already falling apart and his adversary can cost me double the harm. I have to cut off ties with people who were the subject of my pain, I have to remain positive in this negative environment. Plus, tomorrow was the big day, I was going to see my brother, I would not l

If one can die of imaginary heart attacks, I've been dead countless times. I had mentally given up on hope, but the sad part was that the guy I thought was different than others turned out to be the biggest lie of my life. Ryker turned the light on and locked the door once I stepped inside too.I looked around in this beautiful room and found it empty. I immediately adjusted myself in the corner of the room very attentively. Where were they? Was he mad at me, obviously I made him chase after me for months, so once he gets his hands on me, he would make sure he punishes me the worst way."Where are they?" I finally broke the silence in a shattering voice, my body has never felt this lifeless before. I didn’t want to make eye contact with Ryker."Why were you expecting someone?" he turned around and asked very casually, almost in a very calming tone. Placing his hand on one side of the wall and tugging his other hand in his pant's pocket, he tilted his face.

I walked in his direction, grabbing my blanket, he must be feeling cold. I stood by his side, capturing his face, his features in my eyes, and then sighed.I slowly pulled the blanket over his body. As I turned around, to walk away, he gently held my wrist, he was still awake.A mild gasp left my lips as his touch made my body feel goosebumps.
