Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley) novel Chapter 239

Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Nine 

I spit out blood, my gaze returning back to Nick. 

“I am not afraid of you, Nick; do your worst.” 

“You were always a bold one, but the problem was your emotions; they are your greatest weakness.” 

“Why not take your crappy insights and shove it right up your manhole.” 

That earned me another slap, and I smirked knowing I was getting to him. 

“Bailey would betray you; I mean, that’s what she does best; you are nothing more than a tool to her.” 

“Are you any different from her? You used me; I helped you heal from all the hurt the bastard. 

and inflicted on you; we made a deal, but of course, you broke it; you went back to him returned my wedding ring like that solves it all. You aren’t much different.” 

“You lied to me; you hid the truth from me and left me suffering the consequences.” 

“What did you think? That there would be no consequences? That the dark side would grant you power with nothing in return? if you thought that, then maybe you are the fool.” 

“You want to know why I left you even after everything? It’s because you were never going to be what I wanted; thinking about a life with you filled me with dread; I would never be able to love you because my heart belongs to someone else. 

“And you didn’t know this when you were making the deal? You are no different from him; you both make deals you know from the beginning you will never be able to keep to, but you make it anyway for your personal gain, and in the end you don’t keep to your part.” 

“Poor Nick, should I feel sorry for how heartbroken you felt because I don’t.” 

“Your mother did think I was the better choice.” Nick said, and my smile disappeared. 

“Leave my mother out of this else…” 

“Else what? You are chained to a chair and completely helpless; there is nothing you can do. But don’t worry, Gabriel likes her a lot, and so for his sake, I wouldn’t harm her… yet. But if you push me, then I might have to be the bad guy” 

Bailey chuckled at that. No, it wasn’t funny. 

“As much as your bickering is very interesting to listen to, we have better things to discuss. 

“Thane would come for me, and all of you will be sorry.” 

“Is that what you think?” Bailey questioned.“Well, Thane would be coming here, but not to save you, no darling; he would be coming here as a… prisoner. We made this little plan, and for you, he would fall right into it.” 

“Don’t you dare do anything to him.”
