His eyes fluttered with his heart skipping beat, rush of shivers ran up and down his spine, his mouth were left agape, he shut his eyes and opened it again to be sure his eyes wasn't decieving him,But it was all true, the man standing in front of him was Steve, Steve his only friend, the same man he is living with, someone he had trusted with all his heart, how is he here???What is going on??" Ryan asked himself with a deep breath, he could have been happy to see his friend but not when that same friend was with the people who abducted him and also has a gun in his grasp, there was also no single smile in his face,"Steve??" Ryan called out slowly under his breath shivering as he blinked his eyes wondering if truly thisbid like kk"You will help us get Ria, you are the only one who is so close to her so, get her to our captive and we will allow you to go free.." Steve huffed without acting like he knew h

Ryan opened his eyes and there was a glint of surprise in it, he was so shocked to see he was alive, he shut it back and took a deep breath swallowing the lump in his throat, he could still feel his head pound so hard, his whole body was still very weak and the pains weren't yet totally gone, A deep sigh escaped his lips as he thought of what happened not long ago, he could recall the pains he was subjected to, an intense pain that went into his bone, the pain was the type which makes the heart tear apart, he couldn't bear it, never was he to take the pain a little longer and he can remember he just accepted to hand Ria to them, That was a word he said out of impulse, he said it unconsciously just to save his life, just to escape that gruesome pain but then he knew he was in for it already, he knew those words would be used against him... Ryan opened his eyes again with his vision clear, all the pains were gone now and he could stand up, with a loud hiss, he

"Ryan!!" Ria screamed at the top of her voice running into him with a tight hug, it was like a dream and she pray it never become one, she hugged him so tight like he would disappear if she release him, her heart was pounding so hard, she was feeling goosebumps all over her body....All her fear was gone, her broken heart has been repaired instantly, her thoughts weren't right, Ryan had never left her, he never ran away and abandon her,"Ria, how are you?" Ryan asked stroking her hair,"Baby, I thought I'll never see you, he made me though you left me, but I know my Ryan would never leave me for anything" she sulked with a wide smile peering into his glistening eyes, she felt like she was going to burst, the happiness in her was spurging with great force,"I rather die than leave you, not when you hold me heart, not when you are the air I breathe, Ria, I'm here for you, I'm here to take you away" Ryan beam

Ryan made a soft sigh as Austin was taken away alongside his men, his palm was clutched with that of Ria and for some minute they stood still staring at the space with the air slapping their faces, many thoughts were running in their mind, Ryan couldn't believe his life, he finds it so hard to believe it was happening for real, this was something he had doubted happening at the beginning, his mind flashed to that day he saw her picture down to when Adrian met him,It was a long journey, many events have passed by, he had passed through so many things, his life had been risked and endangered just for the love he got for Ria, someone who was not just a billionaire but a cruel one that hates love, A short laugh escape his lips remembering the slaps and curses, no one would ever believe he would get her heart, at some point he too doubted ever making her love him, he squeezed her palm feeling the tenderness, he smiled sweetly,Ria let out her smil

Ria's eyes widened in great shock that left her numb as his question resounded in her head repeatedly, she could feel her whole body get heat up at the mention of that name, she stared at Ryan wondering how and where he knew her, how he was able to know about Linda,He was the last person she would want to know about this past which she doesn't want to remember, the past that had been secretly taunting her, it was like she was having hallucinations because she can't remember telling Ryan about this, how was he able to find out??... who must have told him about it?.Her breath went fast with her heart pounding so loud, she fluttered her eyes not knowing what to say, Ryan's face was sad and she doesn't need a soothsayer to know that he must have known of this truth she had kept hidden for long,"Ria do you know of Linda???...it seems you know?...what happened to her?" Ryan asked and this time she felt a struck on her heart,
