Chapter 86

CHRISTINE’S PO.V

I knew I was overreacting, there was no reason for me to be p issed off at Ryker but I couldn’t stop myself. I was angry. I wasn’t really angry at him, I was angry at the situation and I was angry at myself for letting it affect me this much but it was much easier for me to push the blame on Ryker than to admit that I had feelings for a man who clearly was in love with someone else.

“Christine, wait up,” I heard someone call but I didn’t care enough to figure out who it was. I simply spurred my legs to move faster.

I didn’t know where I was going, all I knew was that I wanted to get as far away from Damien and Riley as possible. If Riley was a b itch, it would have made things easier for me but she was nice. I could tell she hated the situation as much as I did and it frustrated me. I needed an outlet for my anger- I needed

something.

“Christine,” a hand wrapped around my arm stilling me and I turned to see Ryker. I had expected Camilla to follow me. In the grand scheme of things, I knew he would pick his best friend and sister but it didn’t make things hurt any less. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know they were coming.”

I was taken aback by his apology. That was the last thing I was expecting and it shocked me to my core. I opened and closed my mouth repeatedly for what felt like hours before I cleared my throat and crossed my arms over my chest.

“It doesn’t matter anyway, we are all adults. I can cohabitate with them. It isn’t like there is any bad blood between us,” I didn’t know if I was trying harder to convince him or myself.

“You can cut it with the attitude,” Ryker snapped effectively shutting me up. “I don’t know what the hell is going on between you guys but if none of you is willing to talk about it then we cannot help. What the f**k happened?”

Too much. I didn’t want to think about it. It was all I had thought about since we I met him and realized what he was to me. It was too much and I couldn’t handle any more of it.

I shrugged. “It doesn’t really matter anyway. Just forget about it.”

Ryker loked pi ssed off, like he was going to yell but at the last minute, he ran his hands through his hair in frustration. “This is more than the three of you and I hope you guys can realize that before someone ends up getting hurt.”

“We have it undeer control.”“If you did then yu wouldn’t have run out looking like someone stepped on your tail,” he retorted and I fell silent. “I care about you, Christine and so does Camilla, please don’t make us choose. This is hard enough as it is and from where I am standing, it is only going to get worse.copy right hot novel pub
