Their End, My Beginning

Chapter 27

The moment I reached home I parked my car and got into my house with a loud bang and went into

fridge to search for something strong to drink and I got vodka and poured some into the wine glass and

took it one sip causing me to hold my throat as it was too strong and I coughed few timed before I got

okay. Now that was what I wanted because it gave me some relief from the tension I felt in the lift.

I went and sat on the couch with the vodka in my hand and thought of what happened.

“Katy, I am ho- Babe what happened.” Mandy asked taking the bottle out of my hand much to my

annoyance and she goes to kitchen to hand me water.

“Drink this and tell me what happened.” She said more like ordered me to drink water and comforted

me to speak.

“I saw Ryder.” I said leaning back closing my eyes.

“Well, that was obvious since you are now working on his design in his company.”

“Everything was okay till we got into the same lift.”

“Wait, doesn’t he have a private lift I have heard that most of the billionaires do have their own elevator

in their office? I think that he too must have one.”

“You are not wrong he do have his own elevator though I don’t know why he got into the same elevator

as me.”

“Maybe I know the reason why-”

“Don’t you dare say that out aloud.” I interrupted her overexcited voice over the fact that maybe the

reason must be to be with me. “I know you want us to be together like before and I do appreciate your

concerns, but you must not forget the fact that he is not that old Ryder anymore. Anyway, I am going off

to sleep.” I said, feeling sleepy.

“At least, eat before you sleep.” She said before I could say no I walked straight to kitchen. For me, no

matter what mood I am, I always eat my food at the right time. To be very honest, sometimes eating

helps me to get out of sadness or stress faster than alcohol does.

Mandy chuckles seeing me walk to kitchen to make a quick sandwich with just jam. “I always wonder

how you don’t gain weight.””

“I work out.” I said with food in my food.

“But you hardly go to gym.”

“That’s my secret. Don’t ask me questions that I ask myself every day,” I say while eating, to which she

chuckles and shakes her head and goes to her bedroom to change.

How lucky am I to get such a caring friend as her? I must have done something big thing in my past to

get her. With a smile on my face and chewing on my food, I smiled, looking at her closed door.

*Mandy’s POV

When I got into my bedroom, I closed the door and leaned on it with a smile on my face.

Soon and I mean very soon I can do what I have been waiting to do. Seeing their irresistible attraction

for each other, I am sure that very soon I can implement my plan to get the laptop from the police

station and I can delete whatever is on the computer. I don’t want to risk anyone knowing my true

identity.

All I gotta do is support them more like force her stubborn ass to get close to Ryder and once they are

in a relation again, I can make her or manipulate her to ask Ryder for help as I am sure she won’t ask,ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

she being such a sweetheart she won’t get close to people to use them. Though recently her ways

have changed so, I think my work will be easier.

I can make her to ask Ryder to get the laptop from the station, seeing that now it is only he who is

powerful enough to get the evidence of the accident of Kat’s parents. It is difficult for me and Kat to get

it, since we can hardly even touch it without wearing gloves. Ryder can get the laptop using his power.

With those thoughts in mind, I went to my bathroom to change to get ready for bed. And since I had my

snack in my office, I don’t even want to eat anything.

*Ryder’s POV

When I saw Kat leaving her office, something in me told to stop everything I am doing and go behind

her and so I closed my computer shut and arranged things on my table switched off the lights and got

off my office locked it and ran to the elevator that I never used after my private elevator was built. I kept

my hand even though I knew it was dangerous to do this no matter if there was sensor or not, but to my

luck it worked though I never had problems with any of my company’s devices, I always was

precautious. ‘Precaution is the better than cure’ said by Johann Wolfgang.

And I was in the same elevator as her. I was happy that was in the same space as her and as my

employees got in their face showed surprise. Can’t blame them since I haven’t gotten into the same

elevator as they. And as more got in I got closed to her and when I touched her, I smirked little knowing

my touches still had an effect on her.

But the thing that made me wonder was the moment people got out she became tensed and as soon

as the elevator reached the parking lot she ran and injured herself in the process of the getting out of

the elevator as quick as possible. It was as if she was escaping from me. It might be because she

remembered I changed, and that made me scowl.

What the hell was I thinking? I am not that old Ryder anymore I don’t think I can be, after the things I

have done to reach where I am today. And when I saw her leave, I got into my car and drove to my

house which was a mansion and went to the bar in my house which was in the underground along with

the game room. I drank to forget about my sorrows, but it only increased them as I thought more of her

beautiful face, the innocent face of hers, beautiful eyes. More I thought about her more tears rolled

down my face and I took a bottle of scotch to my bedroom and drank. Didn’t know when I slept.

I was confirmed that I had slept after I was awoken by the sunrays with a huge headache. My brain

was pounding on my head as if wanting to open my head and get out, like in some cartoons I saw with

Kat. Again her. The memories with her kept flooded into my head, making my throbbing increase, and I

dozed off again with a smile on my face.
