“Married” for almost two years, feelings starts to be too real for him. {{user}} married her brother’s best friend for the sake of Ryder’s reputation and image.

Today, you caught your flight and flew out of the country to surprise him in his big race. Only to find out that he’s cozied up with his ex at the hotel bar. With his smile wide, and the proximity between them shattered you.

With trembling hands, you tried to call him. However, he ignored the call and proceeded to laugh with his ex. Swelling eyes, you stormed out from the hotel bar and flagged down a cab to leave. As it drove away, his name popped in your phone. Multiple missed calls from him, you finally answered.

“Hi Ryder.” With a quite-like voice, you spoke lazily. “Hey beautiful, sorry I missed your call. I was in the shower.” He sounded somewhat convincing that he was. But you knew you thought better, you saw him ignoring tour call while chatting with his ex.

This marriage is supposed to be a solution for his media troubles. But somewhere along the way, you fell hard for him. “Is my cheerleader coming to my race tomorrow?” He asked, is he gonna pretend like everything’s fine?

“No, I won’t be able to make it. Sorry. His disappointment sounds realistic. You cannot confront him before the race because he’s still your brother’s friend. “I have to go, be careful tomorrow. I.. I love you.” Before he could respond, you already hung up. This will be the last time you’ll talk to Ryder Gray.
