Ryan's POV.

I found that bracelet just for her. I wanted to give it to her but I know that she doesn't wanna see me.
I have been praying a lot while I try to stay away from her. She gets upset by my company. I never thought that it will happen. So I sneaked into her room while she was sleeping. Matt was next to her but honestly I was happy that she feels safe with Matt. We also talked with Matt and he tried to calm me that she went through the same as me now.
And I need to leave. I wanted to leave a gift for her while I'm away. And I need to tell Matt that I am leaving. So I ask him to come out with me to talk.

"I need to go back to New York, Matt. "

Matt didn't even wait for me to continue:
"Why? What do you expect from me Ryan? What will I tell her when she asks about you? You can't just leave her like that."

"I am not just leaving her, Matt. Just listen to me. I need to go back. And she can't know why. They found Brad. He is under arrest. He will be in the police station for the next 3 days. We have 3 days to get answers and to make him admit everything. I need to fly back as soon as my plane arrives. And she can't know. Matt, you can't tell her anything. I need to handle this somehow."

Matt looked confused but he knew that he doesn't have a choice.
"How will you handle it Ryan? It seems impossible to make him admit what he had done."

"He won't have any other choice Matt. I have some friends at the police station, who can be bribed for some alone time with that jerk. And I will convince him how much safer the prison would be for him than coming out."

"Are you planning to threaten him?"

"For sure. If he will be released, my agents will wait him outside the police station. And in that case, we can try other methods to make him speak. And if nothing works...he will disappear the same way he appeared. I had enough. He hurt Kate terribly. He is clearly out of his mind. I won't let him do anything to Kate or any other girl. If I myself have to stop him, I'll guarantee you Matt that I will. "

"And what will I tell her? Where have you gone?"

I need to get an explanation. And soon.
Let's say...

"Tell her that Mark needs my help immediately in a financial case. She won't ask many questions. As I could see how she reacted to my company, she would be happy that I left.."

I felt that familiar sadness again that I prayed to overcome. I feel her getting more and more distant. And it hurts me more than anything. Matt must have heard the sadness in my voice:
"Don't do this to yourself Ryan. She loves you. She is not afraid of you. She is afraid of all the medicines and to really face her state. She knows that she must face everything that happened to her. And she is afraid of that, not you. But she felt safe with you, she felt that you would never sedate her, and never force her to face her problems. But she was wrong. And she will realise that you want to help. She is getting there, believe me. I have seen it in her eyes. She regrets how she behaved with you, Ryan. Don't give up on her. Just never give up on her."

"I won't. Just the waiting is extremely painful. I know you know how it feels but I don't wanna hide it that I feel that pain. But if something bad happens or she needs me, just call me and I fly back immediately. I also leave the phone number of the psychologist if she feels ready to have another session with him. And you can join her. We had her latest session together to hear everything about her state. And I try to be as fast as I just can."

"Just be careful. Not to mention how careful if you chose the illegal way. Which I can guarantee that I am not against. No one does anything and Kate just falls deeper and deeper. So this needs to stop. No matter how. I would walk all the illegal paths if I had to. Just to let you know that I am not judging you. Just be careful and pay attention on who to work with. "
