Chapter 271
Stewart looked slightly off for some seconds but he quickly answered, “no. No one came here.” Ryan stared at Stewart for a long time. This isn't a dream. It is the hard, painful, stabbing fact that the people he has been trying to protect all these months were one of the people who tried to kill him.“What…is something on my face?” Stewart asked.Ryan smiled. “You look like you're lying to me.”“I'm not, Ryan. Why the fuck will…will I lie to you?” Ryan smiled again. “Lock the doors before you sleep. I'm not coming home tonight. Brenda would be spending the night somewhere else.” Even if she plans to spend the night here, he'd convince her against it. There is no way he's going to allow his sister to stay in a bugged house.He left the house, slamming the door after him.Just like the other times when he gets frustrated and angry, Ryan found himself inside a pub. Like hell, this is not the type of person he wa
Chapter 272
Stephanie saw Ryan walk out of a pub. Shs frowned. Why does she always end up seeing him in pubs these days? She walked after him. This time, she didn't try to tail him, she called his name.“Ryan?” He slowly turned back. A smile on his face, all of a sudden, the smile turned into fear. She noticed him shivering.“Don't come near me!” He shouted.Stephanie frowned. Why does he look so frigentend. She was about to ask him if he was alright when. Ryan shouted again.“Don't kill it. Please. It didn't do any fucking thing to you!” Stephanie looked around. Who is Ryan talking to? Again, without warning, Ryan ran to her. Just as he was about to grab her hand, he fell on the ground.He groaned. Stephanie bent toward him. She was going to ask him if he was okay when his legs started thrashing around. For some seconds, the motion continued until Ryan said, “Stop. Please. I'll give you any
Chapter 273
Stephanie stopped walking. She slowly looked at Ryan, searching his face for any sign of anger. For a few seconds, she didn't know what to do. Hell, there was no expression on Ryan's face that she could read. She held her breath, waiting for his next words.“I guess you knew about it,” Ryan said, a trace of disappointment in his voice.“Ryan, I wanted to tell you…I just…I just…”“You could have told me.”“I'm sorry, I really should have—”“This is not the time for sorrys. I'll tell you when it's time.” Stephanie bit her lower lip and stared at the ground. “We don't deserve your help. Just do whatever you want.” “How has Stewart been since the incident?” Stephanie glanced at him in surprise. She had at least expected some burning scolds from Ryan. She will really never understand him.“He's been feeling bad about it,” Stephanie finally said. “He's scared you might find out.” Ryan sighed. He

“But, sir, we are so close to getting—”“Are you telling me what to do?” Anderson asked.“I'm sorry, sir. I just felt we shouldn't be distracted when we are this close to getting what we want.”See? This is one of the many reasons why Anderson doesn't keep his guys too close. Now, Eric is talking as if they are mates. Like they planned to take the Hill family down together. People really don't know their place. “There is a guy called Ryan Lopez.”“Ryan Lopez?”“He pisses me off to my bones. I want him dead before the end of today. After that, we can continue with the Hill family.”“Ryan Lopez?” “That's what I said,” Anderson snapped.“Is he not the same guy you have been wanting to kill all these months?”See? Eric is growing wings. He had better cut it before the stupid boy flies off to the den of his (Anderson’s) enemies and starts to talk shit. “I told you to kill someone and you
Chapter 275
“You got a point there,” Landon said. “Ryan, if the doctors are not against Cathy moving out, then she can. Maybe later, she can go back to the hospital.” “Other than the IVs running through her body, there is nothing serious. She can breathe on her own now.” Ryan thought about it for a moment before he shrugged. “If you say so.” “What about Stewart then? Where would he go?” Landon asked. “Let him go to Brenda's house. There is little we can do about him now since he's the one we can use in trapping Anderson. He'll be fine, I hope,” Ryan said. “Alright. I'll find a way to convince mom.” “You could just tell her to take a walk around, or…just tell her anything to make her leave the house, then you explain the situation to her,” Ryan said. “She would most definitely faint when she hears about Cathy but I don't think we have a choice here,” Stephanie said. Landon sigh
Chapter 276
Everything was going as planned. Stephanie had left and Landon had sent the message to Anderson. Abbie was really drunk now.“I have two siblings. My brother and my sister. Mom…” she laughed. “We all look like our Mom!”“This won't work,” Ryan said and stood up. “I have to get a cab for her to go home.”“You know her house?” Stewart asked.“Yes. She's my neighbor.” “I'll go help you stop a cab,” Stewart said, standing up.“I really do appreciate that but you should go home now, your mother is the only one at home. You don't want to leave her there alone.”“She can take care of herself.”Ryan glanced at Stewart. “She's the only one at home, Stewart,” he said the words slowly.A flicker of concern flashed across his face. He quickly nodded. “If you say so.” Once Stewart had left, Ryan tapped Abbie to be sure she was really drunk and not pretending.She yawned. “How was that?”

Ryan looked around for a means of escape. Each of the men were aiming their guns at him. Not a pretty good thing. He looked back at the man who had succeeded in tying his hands in front of him.They attempted to drag him inside one of the SUVs but he stopped them with a cold stare. “I can walk on my own,” he said, though silently, sending some chills along with the cold night.The man who tied Ryan's hand sat beside him. A man and the driver sat in the front seat. A SUV took off in the front, the remaining three SUVs drove behind them.“I am Ryan Lopez, you?” Ryan asked the man.The man frowned. “Consider it an honor that I'm asking for your name,” Ryan said.“Say another word and I'm blasting off that tongue of yours.” Ryan let out a deep breath. If only he could know the man's name, Cooper would have been able to hear it through the airpod in his ear and give him some information about the man.Thr

Ryan wanted to ask Eric not to do that but he kept quiet. It might be a trap. All Eric had told him could have been lies. If he gave the watch to Eric, he'd still remember it. The fact that Eric has that watch is not enough for him to believe they were close when he was in New York. It is quite easy to find a fake watch similar to the only edition one his mother gave him.They arrived at a door. Eric grabbed Ryan and pushed him inside. He got in after Ryan when he had locked the door.“I brought him, sir,” Eric said to the empty room.For a few seconds, nothing happened. The room was so empty that Eric's voice echoed in a scary manner.The ground beneath them shook, scaring Ryan to death. The experience seemed quite familiar. He got a sharp headache at the front of his head. He shook his head and willed the headache not to be more than that.Eric got on his knees and opened a trap door that Ryan had not noticed earlier. He place

“Have she eaten?” Anderson asked.“She is some prickly princess, she won't collect what took me ten days to prepare.” The screen was something that looked like some decaying hamburger and watery chocolate.“Let her be if she doesn't want to eat,” Anderson said.“You're sure she's unfuckable?”“You touch her and you're dead!” Ryan growled.Anderson laughed. “You just heard her boyfriend's bark.” “No problem, boss.” Anderson ended the call and dropped the phone on the bed. “You can kill me if you want.”Ryan swallowed hard. “Where is she?” “I'm not ready to tell you that.”“Look Anderson, you can kill me instead of taking her captive.” He dropped his gun. “Just kill me and release her. She has nothing to do with this.”“My conditions have changed. As you might have known, I'm a very greedy man. That friend of yours that tried to kill me must die too and you'll be the one to kill him.

“You got a gun?” Landon whispered to Ryan after Ryan had explained to the two what Anderson said.“We are being watched,” Ryan whispered back.“I'll lead the way,” Stewart said. Before the other two could argue with him, he started down the path.Ryan took a deep breath and went after Stewart.The untarred road at first led to a big space that looked like a farm. As they walked further down, they came across different woods, next to a small river which they crossed. At the other end was a moderate bungalow standing alone. A white truck was in front of it. As they neared the building, a man came out through the front door. He folded his hands and waited for them to get nearer before he cleared his throat.“Raise your two hands,” the man said.They all raised their hands. “Turn out your pockets.”They all did. The man walked over to them. He smiled at Ryan before walking to Landon. He searched
