Chapter 11

Lisa's POV

It has been a week since Ryder left and I miss him more every single day.But he is returning tomorrow so I should just be a little patient.

Just like he promised,we face timed every night talking about how our days were,he told me what he has been doing with father and I told him how school was and the boring lessons I had.

We talked for hours and fell asleep while we were face timing.I am still at his mansion and read the books in the library on my free time.I'm always wearing some of his clothing since it smells like him and it comforts me a little bit.

Now I'm at school and it is my third class but I already want the day to end so that I can just stay in Ryder's library reading some novels drinking coffee wearing one of Ryder's hoodies to warm me up.

"Miss Daniels!",I hear my teacher calling me."Can you answer the question please."I look at him confused and see the other learners looking at me."Can you repeat the question sir."

"What is the answer for question 6?",I look at the board and see the question."The answer is 365."he looks at me baffled,"That is correct."

I may not listen in class but I'm very smart cause I'm already a semester ahead of them,I would study all my subjects ahead cause it is the only thing I could to get less beatings from my parents.

Getting high results is the only thing that lessens the beatings i get.I once got home with my Math result and I had got 80/100 and that was one if the days I got the worst beatings in my life.

I thought they were good results and they would make my parents happy since I was the highest in class but I thought wrong because they said that I should atleast get 98/100 if I tried or the test was hard for me but anything below that would get me a very memorable beating.

And true to their words,if I got anything lower than 98 they would beat me half to death and not take me to the hospital.They would just leave me like that and tell me that I am still expected to do all of my chores and that I won't get any food for the whole week.

So in order for that not to happen,I would always study further so that I can be ahead of the class and get the results that would make then happy and lessen the beatings I would get on a regular day.

The bell rings telling us to get to another class.I just decide to just skip the rest of the day and go home so I text Belle telling her I'm leaving and get to my car then drive to the mansion.

When i get there I just leave my back on the couch and head to the kitchen to grab some snacks then go to the movie room in the mansion and put on a movie called Morbius since it seemed like it could be interesting.

But during the movie I decided to call Ryder because I miss him.But he didn't pick up so I guess he is busy or something and I didn't think much about it and continued watching the movie.

I continued watching movies till at 2 in the afternoon so I went to make myself some lunch then I went to the library to read some books while eating.

Its only a few hours till my birthday and I am honestly not looking forward to it.Everyone else gets happy when its their birthday but it only reminds me that it is another year without my really parents.

It only reminds me that it is another year with abusive parents.Another year since my parents left me at that awful orphanage.So it is not something I usually celebrate because it only reminds me of the bad things that have been going on in my life all these years.

The only good thing about tomorrow is that Ryder is coming back and I will get to see him after a whole week without him with me.Meeting Ryder has to be the best thing that has happened to me in a very long time and I couldn't for a better boyfriend for me.

He is the best boyfriend ever and any girl would kill to have a boyfriend like him.I don't know how would have been if I didn't meet Ryder.He has helped me change in so many ways and he doesn't even know it yet.If it wasn't for him,I would be dead by now.

Ryder's POV

I miss Lisa so much right now.I am going mad without her here,not being able to smell her scent,hold her in my arms or kiss her is killing me.

Who would have thought it was this hard to not see my mate for just a week and tomorrow is her birthday but I haven't had time to look for her gift and I don't want to disappoint her and not come with a gift because I promised her a gift so I am going to make sure to find her gift before leaving tomorrow for her birthday.

And I already have the perfect gift in my mind for her.I go to inform father that I am leaving early and that I will keep on looking for the person he wants while I am on Earth and I leave to the jewelry store to get the gift I have in mind for Lisa.

Once I get it,I head back to Earth and now I just have to get home and look for a safe place to hide this for the next few hours.

I now have to just for a few hours
