Chapter 84

RYN

I leaned back in my chair, a groan escaping my lips as the pain in my stomach grew in intensity. It felt like an open wound, aching with a pulsing rhythm. I checked my wristwatch, it was a little past seven pm and yet Theon was not back from work. Then I stared at my computer, playing some highlights from the twins' fight sessions.

Now I understood why Miro considered this task a punishment,

There were hours of fighting sessions on that flashdrive and him wanting a play by play of it before my next test was beyond cruel. By video three, I was exhausted, my eyes aching from watching too many blows and kicks but despite the task being daunting, I realized I en From the way he moved, to the brutal way he delivered his attack, one could tell that Theon was the true definition of a warrior.

Before every fight he had a little habit of tying his hair into a

bun before confidently striding into the match. I found everything about it sexy especially, this trick he had of ultimately defeating his contenders by trapping their necks with his powerful leg, while holding their arm to his chest.

Suddenly, the pain in my stomach intensified and I grabbed my tummy while twisting and writhing on the chair.

I wonder how long I can keep up that lie.

Like a wave, another bout of biting pain crashed over me and I sank to my knees, bending over. My gaze fell on the cute teddy bear, Theon got for me, sitting on the nightstand. I took it and held it to my chest, while lowering myself to the floor. Squeezing my eyes shut I groaned, already on the verge of tears. Turning my phone on again, I dialled someone else.
