Ryder

“I think you need to see this”

I sit up and rub my eyes Scarlett slaps a copy of the Daily Mail down on the bed and folds her arms over her chest I’m half asleep and barely able to focus

“Congratulations, Ryder Front page, too”

I scan the front page, expecting to see a story on Cally’s shock win in her first round of a major tournament Instead, my eyes fixate on three photos: Scar, Tony, and me

Oh shit

I ski of a Star”

“…Ryder allegedly contacted Mr Larezzi and offered him a sum of two hundred thousand dollars to stay out of Ryder’s current girlfriend, Ms Calera’s, life Tony expressed his sha he felt he didn’t have a choice All he wanted was a chance to get to know his son, and Ryder was determined to make sure that didn’t happen…”

Fucking bitch

“Who is she, Ryder?” Scar yells “And how the fuck does she know so much about this?”

“What?” I ask, confused I fail to see how this article suggests anything is going on between me and the author Then I see the sticky note
