Chapter Sixty Seven
| walked into the cell, Thane remained outside but the cell door was left open.
The room was dark, and the only source of light was the one coming from the entrance. My eyes settled to the
dim light, and there Ryker was, but I could barely recognize him. He was a bloodied heap; the only sign that he
was still alive was the steady rise and fall of his chest.
“Riley?”
| didn’t know how he could tell it was me; he surely wouldn't be able to seewith those
wollen eyes that were mostly shut.
The slight fear threatened to rise when | recalled all he had done toand the pain he had caused me, | pushed
the fear away, reminding myself that here he wouldn’t be able to hurt me, not now, not ever. | walked closer to
him, close enough that the cold metal gun cinto contact with his head. But to my surprise, he pulls forward,
as if accepting his fate, the chains around his arm and legs rattled.
“I know what | have done to you Riley; | know | have caused you so much pain, and it is a desperate attempt, but
| want to tell you that I'm sorry...”
“Shut the fuck up,” | say to him, my voice laced with venom.
“Please Riley, you could kill me, but hearout; this is all I ask; | know | don’t deserve it.... but please.
“You are right about not deserving it.”
“Please Riley, you are not like them; whatever you are trying to prove, | know you are different; you are kind and
innocent.
| slammed the handgun into the side of his head, and he fell back to the ground, spitting out blood. “Maybe | am
just like them after all.”
“No,” he manages to say. “You are not.
| kicked him to the stomach again and again. “You, Ryker, destroyed that part of me; you took fromtill I had
nothing else to give, and what did you do after that? You discardedlike the dirt | was to you.” | kicked him
again. “You madeevery bit of a fool, deceivingover and over again. | thought you loved me; | thought
you were a blessing, but no, you were the beginning of my misery“. | kicked him over and over again till he
stopped making any attempt to move. “You took my child away from me, you bastard!, and you blamed me; it
would have been the only good thing I had left, but you took it too, even before | had a chance of seeing what
becof it.” | kicked at his jaw, “You insultedand yet you wouldn't letgo; you wanted to torment me
more; why? Why would you do that to me? I never did anything to you... why?”
| kicked him more, and he managed to roll away only slightly as he was restricted by the chains binding his
ankles and wrists.

“Because... I-l love you,” he struggles to say.
“So is this what you call love? Is this your own idea of loving a person?”
“She didn’t let me!” He manages to say the words without any hitches. “Mother says | couldnt be with you, that
