A million thoughts immediately began to run through my head as I looked down at the words. ‘Four weeks late’ How could I be pregnant? But Ryan and I always made sure to use protection. It was not like I did not want to have kids, but it was just not the right time. I literally just started my career, and I can’t be taking a year off because of pregnancy.I decided not to quickly jump to conclusions; luckily, I had no plans for the next day, so I would just go to the hospital to check.Without telling Ryan about the issue, I went to bed. I did not want him to be too worried or excited for nothing.I woke up very early in the morning because of the anxiety. Ryan was still sleeping, so I decided to go back to sleep. When I woke up again, he was gone.I took a quick bath and made my way to the hospital. I walked towards the gynaecology clinic. I was ushered in to do a pregnancy test, and when I was done, I was told to wait to see the doctor, who would inform me whether I was pregnant or
A week later Alex had gone home heartbroken, but she never reached out to me after that. Although I expected it from her, I was still very disappointed. I walked downstairs struggling with my huge luggage, but luckily my assistant came to the rescue. Madame Charlotte was waiting downstairs for me. We were supposed to be in the airport in five hours for our flight to Mexico, but she was stressing for no reason. My luggage was loaded in the trunk of my car, and we drove towards the airport. I was going to Mexico for an audition for a movie by Huerez Gustavo; he was a very well-known director and a friend of Matheo. Seeing how well I did in his movie, Matheo recommended me to Huerez. I had to get a drink before I started the process, but luckily I did not need to do the long process because of the special privileges I had, all thanks to Ryan. As we were walking towards the place where they would check my bags, I saw Alex. And she looked happy. Relief washed over me seeing that she h
Without wasting time, she was given immediate health care; luckily, she only got shot under her chest and not in any fatal areas. Ryan’s bodyguards informed him of the situation, and in turn, he informed the Daltons that he had found their runaway daughter. So they requested that he immediately bring her back to Carlifonia. So she was unconscious, trapped in a helicopter, and taken to another country. But Ryan had health care professionals by her side so that nothing would go wrong. By the time we arrived in Carlifonia, an ambulance was waiting at the airport for Angela. I entered the car that Arya prepared for me, and I followed them to the hospital. As I drove, a million questions flowed through my brain about what would happen now that Angela was back. Would she want to marry Ryan? Even though Ryan had assured me a million times, I never got over the fact that I was Angela’s substitute. We got to the hospital, and I was not surprised when I saw the Blaqks and the Daltons. For
Writers POV Ryan, holding Eliza’s hand, dragged her out of Angela’s hospital room with a very angry look on his face. "Ryan, stop. Don’t you think that was a little bit harsh?” Eliza whispered, causing Ryan to abruptly stop and look at her. “Would you prefer if I went back in time and promised her that I would marry her?” He asked with a cold expression. “Noo, I...” she started, but Ryan dragged her out of the hospital and into his car, not even giving her the chance to complete her statement. “I am sorry; I just felt bad for her,” Eliza said as she looked down. “But it does not mean I want to lose you to her." “I know” "Crazy, how those things happened to her?" Eliza said, and Ryan drove her home. “Crazy how fifty percent of her words were lies,” he laughed, causing Eliza to look at him in shock. “Are you serious? Did you find something out?” Eliza asked. "No, but I have been dealing with different types of people my whole life; if I cannot identify when someone is lying to
Writers pov “You are going to open I*******m immediately after this call is over; go on your live and expose everything about Eliza, about how she is cheating Ryan of his money; formulate some stuff up I don’t know, but don’t pull me into the mess," Angela instructed. “Hold up, is that your plan? That is a very, very stupid plan. Obviously it’s not going to work; it is not like we have evidence, plus Ryan can just easily help her, and here I thought you were actually smart." Lisa scoffed, and Angela squeezed her phone tightly. If not for the fact that she needed Lisa’s help, would she be talking to a small fry like her? "Look, Lisa, your only job is to do that. Don’t worry, I will take care of the rest. I will make sure Eliza takes a hit. Don’t worry about Ryan; I will take care of him,” Angela promised. “If you say so,” Lisa said, then she hung up. “Such a fool,” Angela scoffed. Of course she knew that her plan would not work, but she just wanted to cause trouble for Eliza and Ry
Writers pov “Lisa! What the h*ll are you doing, do you want to kill us all?” Her father questioned angrily as his hand dug deep into the chair, his daughter had gone crazy and he was scared for his life. “Yes let us all die dad, Eliza ruined my life, so I don’t care I die together with that stupid bitch!” Lisa shouted with a crazy look in her eyes. “If you want to die go die I okay, but can you atleast do this when me and your mum are not in the car” her father begged while her mother anxiously held her fathers hands but he angrily swept it off. “Shut the f*ck up dad I am trying to concentrate” As Lisa was getting close to Eliza’s car, a truck suddenly drove in front of her causing Lisa to abruptly turn her car around and she drove into the wall. *** Lisa woke up and she looked at her surroundings. The air smelled sterilized and it basically gave hospital vibes, beside her was a drip and a heart monitor and all the incidents before the accident flooded her brain, and she was
She should have also expected that Halle would invite Alex along. She rolled her eyes but decided not to ruin the meeting for Halle because of her and Alex’s falling out. “Halle!” Eliza shouted and Halle stood up and gave Eliza a hug. “It’s has truly been long” Eliza said. “I miss you so much Liza” Halle said in a shaky voice as they pulled out of their hug. “Hello” Eliza nodded at Alex as she pulled her sit to sit down while Alex nodded back. Halle looked so confused. “Hold on you guys, don’t tell me you guys are fighting” Halle said and Eliza quickly denied it. “No we are not” she laughed and Alex laughed along. Everyone became more comfortable when their orders arrived and everyone was talking freely. It was finally time for everyone to go, plus Eliza had to meet up with her stylist. “I am going to miss you so much, let us keep in touch this time okay?” Eliza said to Halle and Halle nodded with a sad look before she skipped to Alex and gave her a hug. Halle left leaving A
Writers POV After everyone was gone, including the Daltons, the Blaqks sat down in the living room with troubled expressions on their faces. Ryan’s stepbrother, who had been absent during the anniversary party, immediately rushed back once he heard the news. Mr. Blaqk was on the phone with the person who was supposed to recover the CCTV footage because it had been wiped out. “What do you mean the CCTV cannot be recovered? What am I paying you guys for then?" Mr. Blaqk scolded the person on the other side of the line. "Enough,” Ryan said, causing his father to be quiet for a while. Reluctantly, Mr. Blaqk hung up on the technician and looked at Ryan. “I will find out who is behind all this; anything you do, just know that you are wasting your time," said Ryan's dad. “Do whatever you want, Ryan, but my company must not fall,” Mr. Blaqk said to Ryan. "Oh, you mean my company,” Ryan retorted, looking at his father with a daring look while his father could only look away in defeat.
“Find out who the bastard is that took her now!” Ryan commanded furiously, who would dare take Eliza from him? That person had a death wish. But his question was answered in no time when Jason called him. “What do you want?” Ryan questioned me angrily. “Why do you sound so angry, Ryan? Is it because you can’t find your wife?" Jason laughed, and it immediately clicked. “Where the hell is she?” Ryan questioned me angrily. “Calm down, calm down. She is at my house, okay? But if you want her back alive, untainted by my very hungry men, You are going to come to her unarmed and alone, got it?” Jason said it cockily, and Ryan seethed with anger. “You have the nerve.” "Yes, I do. Now come quickly. The clock is ticking, and I really like Eliza. It would be really tragic if something bad were to happen to her." Jason laughed, then hung up immediately. Without wasting time, Ryan called the Sun Group leaders for the Blaqk Eagles. “Commence the plan now,” he commanded. “But sir, it is n
Angela was back, but he was not even a bit happy; he knew something was up. Something about her story in your hospital was just not adding up. Ryan, holding Eliza’s hand, dragged her out of Angela’s hospital room with a very angry look on his face. "Ryan, stop. Don’t you think that was a little bit harsh?” Eliza whispered, causing Ryan to abruptly stop and look at her.

Ryan“Sir Jason is going to be at the banquet; should I inform Madam Elise that you will not be coming?” Andy asked Ryan, and Ryan chuckled.“Why should I be the one to avoid that small fry? I would still be going,” Ryan said, and his assistant nodded, then walked out.It had been more than six months since he married Eliza, and everything was going pretty well for them. He did not know how, but Eliza somehow made him have feelings for her.But he never admitted it.He was invited to a charity gala by his aunt, Madam Elise.He was not a big fan of his family members, but Madame Elise was his late mother's sister. She also had a hand in raising him, so he had a bit of respect for her.He squeezed his own tight in his hand as he remembered that night.The night he got tired of all his father's bill sh*t, he was seventeen, and he was done.That crazy old man was the cause of his mother's death, yet he did not even have the decency to respect her even after her death.When he found out th
RyanHe sat down and tapped on his leg slowly. People who knew him very well would know that he was very angry. But he just sat there in silence as he watched the chaotic scene.Rich second-generation heirs fondling ladies for the brothel.He was disgusted. Was this supposed to be their business meeting?He should have expected this from Regan; it was not a secret in the upper class that Regan was a womanizer, and he had no shame for being so.Ryan abruptly tugged his tie off him as he felt a sudden heat creep up his neck to his face.“Mr. Blaqk, to celebrate our partnership, I prepared a surprise for you.” Regan winked at him, and he felt disgusted.Realizing what Regan had done to him, he stood up angrily and walked up to him. In a swift motion, he raised Regan off the ground and glared at him, causing silence across the room.“So you dare to drug me, hon, and you think you would go Scot-free? Forget about any business between us; you won’t have a place in the country again,” Ryan s
Although she was only away for two months, she still felt weird. "I have called Alex; she said she would be there." “Okay” “Can you guys at least pretend to be friends on that day? I don’t want anyone making fun of our trio,” Halle requested, and Eliza reluctantly nodded. "Wait for me for a bit. I want to use the restroom,” Eliza said, then she weaved through the crowd in the airport to get to the restroom. As she came out of the restroom, she saw a cute little girl standing outside curiously. "Aunty, you are so pretty,” the little girl complimented, and Eliza felt so flattered. “Thank you” “I don’t have a mummy; maybe you can be my mummy; follow me; let me be sure, my dad,” the girl said. She then took hold of Eliza’s hand and dragged her towards a corner, and surprising enough, the little girl had a very strong grip. Before she knew it, Eliza found herself in a lonely corner, she had a weird feeling. "Uhm, where is your dad?” She asked the girl. "Hehe,” the girls cute laug
Writers pov With a broken heart, Eliza drove around, not knowing what to do. She could not go to Alex's house because Alex was a disappointment. Plus, Ryan could easily find her in her parents villa. So she called the only person she could think of. "Hello, Eliza, what’s up?” Halle answered, and a smile of relief washed over Eliza’s face. "Uhm, I am fine. I was just wondering if I can come over and stay at your place for a while,” she asked , making Halle confused. “Let me get this straight: you want to come over to Korea?” Halle asked in shock. "Yeah, is that a problem?” Eliza said. "No, it’s just that... Did you have a fight with your husband? You are sounding a little bit down,” Halle inquired. That was the only logical reason why Eliza would suddenly want to stay with her for a while. “I will explain everything to you later, but for now, can I come over?” Eliza asked again. "Sure, girl, you are welcome to my home anytime." “Okay, thank you so much. You are the best." “Y
“Have you gotten everything I need?” Ryan asked his assistant with a smirk. "Yes, Mr. Blaqk,” his assistant said as he gave the document to Ryan. He began to explain it as Ryan opened the file. "Sir, the reason Angela eloped at your wedding was not because she was being blackmailed,” his assistant started. “Does this have anything to do with yesterday's incident?” Ryan asked him. "Yes, Mr. Blaqk,” he answered, and Ryan’s eyes darkened. “Go on,” he said in a low, angry tone. “Angela eloped the wedding because she had fallen in love, but he was just a mafia agent, and he delivered her to Jason Romanov.” “Of course it’s that pest; he has still not learned his lesson,” Ryan smirked. “At first, he thought he could use Angela as leverage over you, but you replaced her that same day, barely giving him a chance to blackmail you. So he decided to torture her for vital information about you, but she knew nothing apart from the fact that you once told her that you cherish a flash more th
