~ Michael's P.O.V ~
It's 12:15 in the fucking afternoon and Jonah still hasn't come to get the money. I swear to god if that little shit did something to her I will torture him to death. Why is it that every time I do something wrong Ryder's first thought is to cheat on me? Does she really care that little for me that she can just cheat? I could never cheat on her because I know how it feels to be cheated on. It feels as if you're not good enough, as if no matter what you do someone will always do it better, as if your love wasn't worth that much to them or as if they didn't truly care. I would never want to put Ryder through that even though that's all she's been doing to me.
I never thought I would actually fall in love with her. My original plan was to keep her against her will for a year and do whatever I wantes with her then kill her. But something about her captivated me. I wasn't sure if it was her smile, her eyes or the way she challenged me but whatever it was it made me love her. It feels as if she's holding onto my heart and won't let it go, as if she contols me but I wouldn't have it any other way.
My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of shoes tapping on the concrete. I looked up to see Jonah approaching me with a huge smirk.
"Hey Michael, long time no see." I rolled my eyes before pushing the duffel bag against his chest.
"He's your fucking money, now leave my wife alone." Jonah raise an eyebrow before grabbing the bag and unzipping it. He examined the money before looking back up at me.
"It's always nice doing business with you Michael, hopefully next time we won't have to go through this whole situation all over again." He zipped back up the bag and placed it on his shoulder.
"There won't be a next time. Stay the fuck away from my wife, I'm sick of your games." Jonah smirked.
"I'll stay away from your wife but I can't promise that she'll stay away from me." My jaw tensed but before I could say anything Jonah walked away from me and got on his motorcycle and rode away.
(One hour later)
I finally arrived home from my meeting with Jonah. The moment I stepped through the door Calum pulled me aside and dragged me into the kitchen. I raised an eyebrow in confusion when he began looking around to make sure no one was watching us.
"Ryder just got home about 30 minutes ago. Mali went to talk to her and asked her where she was and she said that she went to a club and met a guy named Dylan and went home with him. She doesn't know that Dylan is actually Jonah and we all made a deal that we wouldn't tell her because we don't want her to feel like she might be in danger." Calum explained.
"Alright, is she awake?" Calum gave me a skeptical look before speaking.
"I don't think she would want to see you, Michael" I let out a sigh.
"Please just let me see her, I've been worried about her all night. I understand that you love her and want to protect her but please understand that I'm trying to do the same thing. I know that I'm not going about it the right way but I'm trying. I know that you might hate me and want me to leave so that you can have her all to yourself but please understand that I can't leave, no matter what any of you think I'm going to continue to fight for her. " I could feel my heart race as the words left my mouth and by the blank look on Calum's face I felt like I was getting no where with him.
"Alright." He sighed causing me to raise an eyebrow.
"You're letting me see her?" I asked still slightly confused.
"Yes. You're still my friend Michael, we might not be as close as we used to be but I still care about you. If you want to try to get her back then go ahead, just understand that I won't stop trying to get her. I just hope that this won't cause our friendship to end." With that Calum stepped to the side so I could walk. I gave him a grateful nod before walking out of the kitchen and made my way to the room.
Once I got there Ryder was sitting on the bed with her back to me. I clenched my fist when I saw the hickeys that covered her neck and shoulder. That fucking bastard was all over her. I took a deep breath before sitting down on the bed causing Ryder to look at me and raise an eyebrow.
"Why are you still here?" Her annoyance made clear by the way she rolled her eyes.
"Because I love you and I'm not just going to leave because of a little fight." I grabbed her hands in mine and kissed them
"A little fight? You murdered eliana you fucking asshole, it wasn't a little fight. It was a major fucking fight. This is one of the worst things you've ever some. I want you to leave and I want you to leave now" She pulled her hand away
~Ryder's P.O.V~
Once the words left my mouth Michael's whole demeanor completely changed. His eyes were no longer soft but determined. Michael tried to grab my hand again but I slapped his away. He raise an eyebrow before pushing me against the wall causing me to lose my breath.
"Do you really want me to leave?" He pressed himself against me, making it hard for me to think properly. I gave Michael a small nod, answering his question but all he did was click his tongue and shook his head.
"You know that doesn't work for me baby girl, use your words." Michael began to kiss my neck down to my shoulders causing me to moan and throw my head back, closing my eyes. Michael abruptly stopped causing my eyes to snap open. He was no longer kissing my neck but instead staring at it. His eyes became hooded as his thumb swiped over my neck causing me to wince when he touched a bruised spot.
I could tell he was becoming pissed by the way he pushed himself against me causing me to whimper. He roughly attached his lips to mine and grinded against me. My hands making their way to his hair and began to tug causing him to moan against my lips before pulling back.
"I'll leave but I won't stay away, you and I both know you don't want me to." I looked away from Michael, not because of his intense stare but because I knew he was right. No matter what he does, I always forgive him and I never want to be without him.
Michael gave me a small kiss before walking over to the closet. He pulled out a mostly packed suitcase and some clothes and threw them on the bed. He began to fold up some clothes and all I could do as watch. It hurts me to see him go but I have to. My eyes began to fill with tears but I quickly brushed them away.
It wasn't long before Michael was completely packed and ready to go. He let out a sigh before walking towards me. He pressed a passionate kiss to my lips before pulling away and dragging his thumb over my bottom lip.
"I love you, ry." With that Michael turned around and I watched the man I love walk out my life. My eyes filled with tears as I sat at the edge of my bed. Why did I just let him leave? I keep on doing this. I know what he did was wrong but he thought he was doing what was best for me. My train of thought was cut off by my phone buzzing
From: Dylan
Hey babe, I'm outside
I let out a sigh before drying my tears and sending a quick reply.
To: Dylan
I'll be right out
