"No one believes in love at first sight until that special person comes along and steals your heart"
*Ryder's point of view*
As I stare into my huge work office window a million thoughts run through my head at the same time.
"Uh, Tessa!" I mutter under my breath, Tessa was my dumb ass assistant and she only got the job because she sleeps with me, but a few days later I realised I had made a huge mistake because she is so dumb and doesn't know left from right.
Yes I am the one and only Ryder Walsh, the cold hearted, playboy, billionaire, boss of The Walsh Industries and bachelor of New York.
Once I look at the clock I stand up and leave for the day since it was 5:00pm.
I nod my head at my nice receptionist for the top floor before quickly taking the elevator to the finally floor where my driver was waiting for me outside.
I give my driver, Marcus a quick nod before he drives off to my penthouse.
As soon as I get home I thank Marcus before getting out and taking the elevator to the top floor where my huge apartment was.
As soon as I get home and eat a little my phone buzzes loudly, I groan when I notice it was from my best friend Noah, I answer it angrily before laughing a little when he speaks.
"Ryder, come on seriously you never go out, you're too stressed from work and you haven't had fun for almost a whole fucking year!" Noah replies once I decline his offer to go to the bar with him.
"Noah, at least I am successful I have some work to catch up on tonight." I lied.
"Bullshit your coming and if you don't I will drag your sorry ass there!" he replies before hanging up on me.
I roll my eyes and head into the shower angrily.
As I let the warn water run down my body I smirk a little thinking of what girl I was going to bring home tonight.
I try to find a girl almost every night to take home and sleep with.
I never have sex with girls in my bed, I have a few spare bedrooms for that...
I wasn't always a hard, cold playboy but ever since that incident I could never love or feel for anyone again.
As I get out of the shower and wrap a towel around my waist I look in the mirror and see a 22 year old handsome man.

"Noah why are we here?" I ask as we step in the loud, dark room.
"Because you need to let loosen up a bit now just drink!" Noah shouts over the music before leaving to the dance floor with a random girl.
I smirked and grabbed a random girls waist before leading her to the bar area to get drinks.
Once I sat down, I quickly tell the bartender my order before slouching in my seat.
The girl next to me giggles as she skulls her drink before coming closer to me.
Once my drink comes I skull It a bit faster than her before leaning in to her kiss her, as I was about to kiss her my eyes steer to that girl dancing in the spotlight on the pole.
She looked extremely uncomfortable and seemed depressed about what she was doing.
As the girl next to me drunkenly came closer to me I pushed her away and walked a little closer to that gorgeous girl dancing.
She looked around 18 and was only 5ft 5 which suited her.
I stood there for a few minutes before our eyes locked.
It was like everyone else stopped as I looked her in her big, beautiful grey eyes.
We stared at each other for a few minutes before she stopped dancing and then she started to get teary eyed, I looked at her once she clenched her jaw and ran a hand through her long hair before shaking her head and running off the stage.
It caught me off guard but at the same time it turned me on and I couldn't help but feel worried for that girl.
Shaking my head I walk to the door angrily, I suddenly stop when I notice that girl run past me in changed old rags or something.
I quickly grab her arm startling her a little, once she screamed I spun her around and there I was staring into the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life.
She sexily bit her lip and ran a hand through her hair before looking up at me with those grey eyes that anyone could get lost in.
"W...what are you doing?" she asks nervously before bitting her lip again.
"Nothing, are you ok?" I reply honestly
"N...no I am fine, really goodbye." She says shakily before bitting her lip and running away from me.
I step back in shock for a second before calming down, no girl has ever rejected me before but for some reason that's not what I cared about.
Why did she looked so worried when she saw me?
She looked like she had seen a ghost or was staring into someone who was about to kill her...
Taking a deep breath I quickly told Noah I was leaving before getting into my limo and trying to find that girl.
I don't know why but I seemed worried about her, she looked scared, confused and horrified and that screams I need help.
It takes me a while to finally find her, I notice she was walking in an alleyway.
Taking an angry breath I stand back a bit from her and the alleyway.
I ran a hand through my hair while angrily waiting for her to re appear.
My thoughts stopped when I heard hitting, fighting and then running, being not at all afraid I stood there still and hoped that she would come out soon.
And then a few minutes later she came running with a few men trailing behind her.
I angrily stopped her, she bashed into me not hard but I caught her and moved her aside while I fought the other three dickheads.
She looked very out of place and worried so she fought back with me.
My eyes widened a bit knowing this girl could fight but I quickly changed the expression and continued to help her.
Once all the men have run away, hurt and scared I quickly walk over to that girl and help her up.
She looks me weirdly for a second before waving my hand away in fear and standing up.
"Are you ok?" I ask while lifting her chin up to look at me.
"I'm fine." She replies, hotly.
I nods my head at her before checking my watch and then replying.
"Good, its 1 am I really don't know why you were here but you shouldn't, follow me." I say before already walking away.
As we walk towards a huge limo, I look over at her and smirk at her reaction to the limo.
"I...wow." She says cutely.
"You have never seen a limo?" I ask her in awe.
"Oh sh- I need to get home thanks for saving me I guess, really I have to go." she says as she turned around I caught her arm again, she opens her eyes slowly as I spin her around.
"Are you sure it's getting late and I didn't get your name." I say honestly.
As she look into my eyes they were staring right back into mine sternly, she bites her lip sexily before replying.
"I- its fine and my name is Addison, Addison Snow." She says nervously.
"Addison that suits you." I say honestly, beautiful name for a beautiful girl.
"Well I guess and you are?" she asks smiling a little.
"Ryder, Ryder Walsh." I smirk at her.
"Well thank you for everything Ryder but I should be going n-"before she could finish I cut her off again.
"Can I at least give you a ride home? "I ask before nodding at my car driver.
"But I-"she stops herself to think.
"Oh um, sure it's just a few blocks so." she finishes off before I lead her into the limo.
"Wow, it's so nice." she says while looking around the beautiful lights that looked over the leather seats.
As soon as Marcus, starts driving to where she told him to she lets out a deep breath mixed of a bunch of emotions.
I looks at her weirdly for a second before turning back onto my phone.
As the car stopped her bag fell off the seat and down the floor leaving her to grab it.
As she was grabbing the bag her rag that she was wearing slipped up to uncover multiple bruises.
She quickly covered it but she knew I saw them, her eyes started to water and she ran a hand throw her hair before saying goodbye.
"Uh, that's my stop bye Ryder thanks again and bye." She quickly says before getting out so I couldn't reply.
I raised a confused eyebrow before telling Marcus to go home.
As he drives away I couldn't help but worry for Addison, she lives here?
And the bruises I know weren't from that fight or are they?
Whoever did this to her will pay...
