All Chapters of THE DEVIL'S BOY TOY: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Leo’s POV(Two days later)I was back at Milestone.And somehow, everything felt exactly the same.Students walked through the halls like nothing had happened. People laughed, talked, complained about finals, and rushed to classes for exams.The world kept moving.Even when mine felt like it was falling apart.Catherine wasn’t here.I wasn’t surprised.After everything that happened, she was probably at her parents’ house.Maybe she was telling them everything.Maybe she had already told them.That thought made my chest tighten.Because what would happen then?What would my father say?The thought alone made my jaw clench.I could already imagine his disappointment.His anger.The way he would look at me like I had failed him again.But that wasn’t the part that scared me the most.It was what he would do to Ryker.My father didn’t forgive people who embarrassed him.And if he found out that Ryker was involved…I shook my head.No.I couldn’t think about that.I couldn’t let my mind g

Leo’s POVDammit.I should have driven.I stared down at the stone pathway in front of me, my steps slower than I wanted them to be.I briefly considered calling Jaden and asking him to bring the car back, but then I thought about how long it would take him to get here.And I didn’t have time.Not when I still hadn’t found Ryker.So I kept walking.The annoying ache in my leg had started creeping in, reminding me that walking across an entire campus wasn’t exactly the smartest decision I had made today.Especially without my walking stick.But I ignored it.I had bigger things to worry about.My mind replayed everything that happened earlier.The girl.Her words.The way she looked at me when she said it.Ryker lost his scholarship.I still couldn’t believe it.Part of me kept waiting for someone to tell me it was all some misunderstanding.A mistake.A rumor.Anything.Because Ryker losing his scholarship didn’t make sense.Not Ryker.He worked harder than anyone I knew.He was one o

Vanessa’s POVLeo didn’t stay long.The moment he returned to the waiting area with Ryker, I could tell from his expression that he had already made up his mind about something.He looked exhausted and worried.Like he was carrying a weight nobody else could see.“Vanessa,” he said, looking at me. “I have to go.”I raised an eyebrow “Already rich boy?”“Yeah" he muttered, then his eyes moved to Ryker for a second.And before I could even process it, he leaned down and pressed a small kiss against Ryker’s forehead.My entire body stiffened. This shouldn't be happening.They should know better, I thought they'd talked this out.Leo was engaged for Christ sake.I didn’t understand.This softness between them.The way they looked at each other.They needed to be away from each other. This wasn't going to get easier the closer they were to each other.“Take care of him,” Leo told me.I almost laughed.Because from what I could see, Ryker was always the one taking care of everyone else.But

Ryker's POV"My name is Derrick," the stranger said, staring directly at me.Now that I actually looked at him properly, I realized he was... really handsome.He had dark olive skin, light brown eyes, and a mess of curls sitting perfectly on his head with a light fade at the back. He had to be at least 6'2, and there was something annoyingly effortless about the way he carried himself.He looked like someone who belonged here.Someone who had never had to question whether they deserved to be here."You haven't told me your name," he added.I cleared my throat and raised my eyebrows slightly."You don't know who I am?"The surprise in my voice wasn't even hidden.Everyone in Milestone knew who I was.I was sure there were probably pictures of me hanging in every mansion around campus, not because anyone liked me, but because people needed something to point at whenever they wanted to remind themselves that someone like me didn't belong.Derrick raised both hands in surrender."Whoa, wh

Ryker's POVI held the letter tighter in my hand as Leo disappeared through the door.For a few seconds, I just stood there.Frozen.My eyes stayed glued to the spot where he had vanished, like if I stared long enough, he would suddenly come back and explain everything before I had to face whatever was written inside this piece of paper.What had he done?What exactly was he hiding from me?I waited.A few minutes passed before I convinced myself that he was actually gone. That he wasn’t standing somewhere nearby waiting for me to call him out. And he was right, because if the contents of this letter was anything I couldn't handle I'd come running to him.My fingers trembled slightly as I opened the letter.The moment my eyes landed on the words, my entire body went still.I let out a sharp breath.No.No, he did not.He definitely did not.I read it again.And again.Like maybe the words would magically rearrange themselves into something else.But they didn’t.My heart dropped “Oh
