HATRED (series 1#)

Chapter 27

RYAN POV
Ryan's heart burned with anger and a desire for revenge. He concocted a plan to play mind games with Kylie, hoping to manipulate her emotions and make her feel the same pain he had endured. He strategized ways to twist her words, toy with her feelings, and exploit her vulnerabilities. In his mind, this was the only way to regain control and make her suffer as he had. However, as Ryan delved deeper into his scheme, a nagging voice reminded him of the toxicity and harm it could cause. He realized that stooping to such levels would only perpetuate the cycle of hurt and damage but he was willing to take the lead."

The Dance of Uncertainty

Kylie found herself caught in the whirlwind of emotions as Ryan's sudden return sparked a glimmer of hope within her. But deep down, she couldn't shake off the confusion and skepticism that had settled in her heart.

As Ryan poured out his words, pleading for a chance to make things right, Kylie couldn't help but feel torn. On one hand, the desire to believe in a fresh start tugged at her heart. On the other hand, the wounds of the past were still raw, and she couldn't ignore the doubts that lingered within her.

In the midst of this emotional storm, Kylie took a step back to gather her thoughts. She realized that she needed time to truly understand her own desires and needs. It was essential for her to prioritize her well-being and consider the best course of action for herself

Slowly, I opened up, sharing my own fears and vulnerabilities. In that moment, I saw a glimpse of the person Ryan could become, someone capable of growth and change. Though forgetting would take time, but I was willing to get out of this circumstance and start afresh.
