Does this mean, Ryker was remorseful for killing Vanessa? 🥹😥
“Sir, the meeting is set to commence at 12:pm. All necessary arrangements have been put in place,” Sasha reported to her boss who was seated on his swivel chair, with his legs crossed stylishly. Ryker sighed as his finger dropped from his forehead. He had been lost in thought and didn't even notice her presence. His eyes ran up to her face and he saw how beautiful she was looking as always. She was looking so stunning that morning in a pink corporate knee length dress. As their eyes locked, she looked away quickly, and he knew she was still mad at his behavior yesterday. He wasn't going to apologize, she meant nothing to him, he said to himself as he stood up from his seat. “Get my briefcase, and clear my desk. I'll be in the car waiting,” he said. She nodded and he watched her walk over to his desk. He took a slow glance at her before walking out of the office. Sitting in the black Rolls-Royce, he watched her step in, wearing a long face. He gazed at the side of her face as the
The vibrating sound of the bed was heard accompanied by loud moans from Sasha. With their bodies shielded under the duvet, they went on a good two hours non stop ride and their heavy breath was heard as they finally pulled away from each other. Still soaked in pleasure, he wrapped his arms around her body and held her to himself tightly. With his eyes shut, he smiled with satisfaction as she tried to catch her breath under his huge arms. She smiled and looked up at his face. His eyes were still shut in pleasure and she knew he must have been starved of good sex. “You're good, Sasha, I can't get enough of you,” he muttered under his breath.She laughed and tickled his nipples softly. “We shouldn't have done this,” she said with a smile, her hands tickling his chest.“Don't ever say that again,” he hushed with his finger on her lips.“You're my friend's husband and I don't wanna hurt her,” she explained with sadness all over her eyes.“She isn't gonna find out about us, unless you
With his jacket hung on his left shoulder, he walked into the room casually. His eyes fell on the bed and he smiled wryly, seeing Samantha's body under the duvet. “I'm home,” he announced calmly as he stood before the bed. She turned and stretched tiredly with her eyes all over him in surprise. “Honey,” she called, trying to sit up right. He sat on the bed beside her and placed his hand on her quite protruding tummy. “How's my baby doing?” He asked, caressing her tummy. “We're fine, you slept out,” she said angrily. “I told you I wasn't gonna come home. I had a long busy day and I couldn't make it home on time,” he explained, still playing with her tummy. “Your mom was worried,” she informed him. “I'll check up on her,” he said and stood up from the bed. She watched him drop his briefcase and jacket before walking out of the room. Stepping into the chamber, he could see her seated with her legs crossed stylishly, sipping coffee. “You finally returned,” Mrs Clyde mutte
“Mother!” His exciting voice rang as he walked into the living room. Mrs Clyde, seated gracefully on the couch, lifted up her head at the sound of his voice. “Mother, you won't believe this!” He was thrilled as he knelt before her. “What is it?” She asked nonchalantly. “OTECH finally gave the greenlight,” he whispered while holding her palm together. “You don't mean this, Ryker,” she uttered in disbelief. “I mean every fucking bit of it!!” He hollered. “Yes! Yes!!” She shouted gleefully. “Mother, I did it! I made father proud at last!” He cried with emotions as he stood up on his feet. “Son, I'm so proud of you,” She sobbed, standing up from the couch. She locked him in a warm embrace and he laughed as they both pulled away. Samantha was seen walking down the stairs, dressed in an ash coloured dress. “You're back,” she said to Ryker who was trying to contain his excitement. “Yes, my love,” he laughed and hastened towards her. He pecked her cheek and wrapped his ha
“Sas, you're intelligent. You seem to know more about OTECH,” he remarked and she laughed. “Who wouldn't be interested in knowing about OTECH?” She asked with a smile. He smiled and nodded. “So, we move on to the party plan,” she said, wrapping his hair smoothly in a bun. “Yeah, I'll send a letter of invitation to OTECH, we'll need some of their representatives to be here for the party,” he said. “Ken is here,” she reminded him. “I know, but others would be present too. Where and when the party will take place will be scheduled after a meeting at the office tomorrow,” he said. “Don't cross over to my territory, Sir,” she warned. “Everything is in your hands. I'll rather not intervene with the party plan,” he surrendered. “Better,” she stroked his chin and they both laughed. There was a moment of silence as their eyes met while staring at their reflection in the mirror. They stared at each other for a while and then she looked away slowly. “Sas,” he called, standing up f
It was all shades of elegance and class at the Crystal Gardens, as Exotic cars were seen moving into the Garden gates. The dark atmosphere was lit up with beautiful artificial crystal lights which were hung all around the garden trees. Large decorated tables and chairs were also seen at different corners of the garden where a few people occupied. Slow music played in the background, and the happy voices of people moving to and fro were heard. The clattering of glasses wasn't exempted as men laughed and cheered to success. Looking bodacious in a black tuxedo, Ryker was spotted at the paved walkway, stepping into the party. Alongside him was Sasha, ravishingly dressed in a red short draped dress with short bogus sleeves. They were a sight to behold and there was a round of applause from the men and women already gathered at the party. Ryker waved back with his lips plastered with a warm smile. “Congratulations, Mr Ryker,” a middle aged lady in black suit dress welcomed him wit
She raced as fast as her feet could carry her, up the stairs and then to the elevator. Bolting out of the elevator, she ran along the passageway and finally stopped in front of the suite door. She could see the men in black suits, mounted in front of the door and they made way for her to go in. The automatic door slid open at last and she began to breathe heavily with a smile of victory plastered on her red small lips. Inside the luxury suite, Samantha was seen in a spacious room, sitting in front of the large mirror shelf. Her glam team were present, working their ass off to ensure she looked her best for tonight. Her pretty face was glowing with makeup, and her mint green net dress breathed Elegance. Her glossy grey lips were all smiles as she stared at her splendid appearance in the mirror. The smile on her lips quickly diminished as Anna's reflection appeared in the mirror. She turned swiftly, and her heart twitched, seeing Anna, gasping for breath. “Ann, are you alright?”
She strode towards the table where Mrs Clyde and Aunt Susan were both reclining. She gave them warm hugs and also said hi to other members of the family at the table. “Ryker is doing a perfect job,” Aunt Susan commented, smiling at Samantha. “Thanks, Aunt,” Samantha laughed. “Ryan is back. But don't be scared, my son is a changed person,” Mrs Clyde smiled. “It's fine, mother,” Samantha smiled wryly. “Now, go sit beside your husband. I'm not comfortable with the way he's parading his PA as his wife,” Aunt Susan remarked. Samantha smiled briefly and nodded. She could see Ryker's hardened face looking in her direction, with Sasha seated beside him. Walking to the table, Sasha gave her a warm smile. “Sam, look at you, looking so great,” she remarked. Samantha smiled wryly with her arms akimbo. Sasha made a confused face, wondering what the stare was all about. “You're in my place,” Samantha groaned. “Oh,” Sasha chuckled as she stood up in embarrassment and moved over to t
The baby naming ceremony was conducted soon after Samantha was laid to rest. The next day, the whole family was seated for the reading of Mr Clyde's Will. Ryan was still absent, but the reading commenced anyway.In the large living room was Sophia, seated beside her fiance Ken. Ryker and Sasha were also spotted sitting together on the next couch. Opposite them was Mrs Clyde and Claris, while Aunt Susan sat on a single sofa with her legs crossed elegantly. The lawyer, a middle aged man in his fifties, was sitting on the middle couch, preparing his files.Everyone listened attentively as the lawyer read out the will diligently.“The landed properties, beach club, and real estate both in Zurich and in the United States will be inherited by my only surviving sister, Susan,” the lawyer read out. A warm smile appeared on Aunt Susan's lips and she could see Sophia smiling at her. Mrs Clyde forced a smile on her lips as her eyes met with Aunt Susan. Ryker's face hardened and he took a dee
The cloud was gloomy and there was a rumbling sound of thunder as people gathered by the graveside of Samantha Houston.It was all shades of black as the priest delivered the graveside talk. Resting beside the grave was Samantha’s casket and her beautiful portrait resting on the table beside the casket. Sasha was seen with Samantha's baby as she stood beside Ryker whose face was hardened. Mrs Clyde stood beside Ryker with her hand resting on his shoulder. Sophia and Ken were standing a few meters apart, with Sophia's head resting on Ken's shoulder as she sobbed silently. Other members of the family and friends were also seen, standing closely as the priest delivered the graveside talk. The rain began to drop slowly as members of the family came forward to pay their tribute. It was all tears and mourning as the casket was finally laid to rest in the grave. Mrs Clyde and Aunt Susan held onto Ryker tightly as Samantha's body was laid to rest. He wiped off the tears that trickled dow
“Any news from her family?” Aunt Susan asked, with her eyes on Mrs Clyde who was sitting on the couch opposite her. They were all seated in the small private living room. “No, as a matter of fact, we don't know her family. Sasha is the only friend we knew she had,” she replied. Aunt Susan turned to Sasha who was sitting beside Ryker. “Um..,” Sasha stammered. “Samantha is an orphan from what I know. Her only aunt who raised her is also late. We grew up together in the countryside before I left for the city. Samantha definitely has no family,” Sasha explained. “Hmm,” Aunt Susan mumbled. “So then, we'll begin to make plans for the funeral,” she said to Mrs Clyde. “Yes, as fast as possible,” Mrs Clyde said with a nod. Aunt Susan turned to Ryker whose face was gloomy. “Be strong, all these shall pass,” she consoled him. “Thank you, Aunt,” he managed to speak. “Cute son she gave you,” she added with a smile. He nodded with a wry smile. “I'll check up on him before I leave,
In the spacious foyer, the servants and all staff working in the mansion were seen, lined up in two different lines. Walking in the middle of the lines was Mrs Clyde, dressed in a black fur jacket reaching down her knees. She stopped on getting to the other end and everyone paid attention as she cleared her throat to speak. “We were having a bad day yesterday, that's why everyone was ordered to remain in their quarters. With a heavy heart, I want to announce the passing away of Mrs Samantha Clyde, wife of my son, Ryker Clyde,” she announced with a somber voice. “No!!” Anna screamed tremendously. The girls began to weep and Hailey alongside Betty held Anna closely to themselves. “Samantha can't die, she can't die..no..,” Madam Kate chuckled in disbelief. “Order!” Mrs Clyde bellowed. There were murmurs, alongside sniffing and weeping. “She died as a result of postpartum hemorrhage and it was too late before the doctor could do anything,” Mrs Clyde continued. “She had no co
Samantha became dumbfounded, looking at the faces of the men and women who were sneering as they walked closer to her. “Sas.. you're sorry for what?” She asked, looking lost. Sasha gulped and her gaze returned to the floor. “Sas, you made the calls, didn't you?” Samantha asked in dismay. “Unfortunately, no calls were made. This whole meeting is a sham, Samantha,” Mrs Clyde smirked. “Sas..,” Samantha tried to call. “I'm sorry, Sam, I fell deeply in love with Ryker. I..I couldn't do what you asked. How could you, Sam? Ryker did nothing to you! He is a good man!!” Sasha cried. “You betrayed me?!!” Samantha cried in disbelief. Ryker grabbed hold of her wrists and pulled her forcefully to himself. “To think that you made a fool out of me, you were fucking my brother under my roof, and you sent Sasha to divert my attention away from your schemes,” he laughed while looking deep into her eyes. Samantha wriggled, trying to break free from him but his grips were firm. He sent a h
What the hell do you mean your son is not the father of my baby?” Samantha scoffed, taking off her sunglasses as she stood up from her seat. “Samantha, can you explain this?” The lady who welcomed her earlier, asked in dismay. “Oh, yeah, her son fathered my child,” Samantha accused, pointing at Mrs Clyde. “Ryker didn't father the baby, Samantha!!” Doctor Jean fired. “Oh, yes, he didn't. Ryker isn't the only son she's got. Okay, I get it. Her favorite son didn't father the baby,” she mocked, turning to Ryker and Mrs Clyde. “Samantha, what did you do?” Mrs Clyde asked with disappointment as the glass fell off her hands. Ryker remained glued to his seat, unable to utter a word. “I beat you to your game, bitch!” Samantha fired. “How dare you?!” Mrs Clyde cried, shaking her head in disbelief. Samantha smiled and adjusted her suit jacket. She took a deep breath and grabbed an armchair which she sat on stylishly. “Members of the Clyde's family,” she addressed with a smile
Samantha's face lit up with a smile as she watched Anna and Hailey scrambling their way to meet the baby at the cradle. “Easy, girls,” she urged. The girls awed as they looked at the baby whose blue eyes were wide open. They both gave awkward stares at each other before returning their gaze to the baby. “He's indeed so cute,” Anna awed. “Yes, just like his daddy,” Hailey put in. Anna's eyes bulged as she looked up at Hailey. “Those blue eyes, brown hair..,” Hailey continued. “Hailey, um..I guess Madam Kate needs our attention,” Anna said, getting up swiftly. Samantha watched with a smile as the girls waved her goodbye and left the room. “The result of the match played on the night of Aunt Susan's party is out,” Hailey whispered to Anna as they both walked along the passageway. “Shh, Hailey,” Anna whispered. “It's undeniable,” Hailey scoffed. Anna sighed and stood for a moment. “Samantha is in trouble if our guess is right,” she said. “We need to stay cool to see wha
There was chaos in the building as Mrs Clyde and the maids all ran into Samantha's room. “Out of my way!” She snapped, pushing Kate aside as she made her way to the bed where Samantha was lying in pain. “Mother,” Samantha cried, grabbing her arms tightly. “Hold on, Sam. Doctor Jean and his team are on their way here,” she assured, patting her forehead. “I can't, mother, it's excruciating..,” Samantha cried out like a baby. “It's just for a few moments. When the baby is out, you'll eventually be free. Hold on, Sam, be strong for mama,” Mrs Clyde said with a smile. “Mother, don't leave me,” Samantha cried painfully, still clinging to her arms. “I'm here, okay? I'm here,” Mrs Clyde assured again. “The bowl and the towel,” she said to the maids who were watching anxiously. Anna handed the items over to Madam Kate who soaked the towel in a bowl and wiped off the perspiration surrounding Samantha's face. “I need a waist massage, a foot massage, I need everything!!” Samantha th
She stood up from the bed as she caught sight of Ryker and Mrs Clyde walking into the room. She could see Ryker's hardened face but she didn't say a word to him. “Sam,” Mrs Clyde called, walking to meet her. “Yes, mother,” she answered sharply. “Ryker is going on an urgent business trip,” she informed. Samantha became puzzled as she looked at Ryker who was walking over to the closet. “Is it that urgent that I wasn't informed beforehand?” She asked, still looking at him. “Yes, daughter. I'm so sorry,” Mrs Clyde said with pity, placing a hand on her shoulder. “I'm almost due for birth, mother,” she lamented. “He'll be back just in time for your delivery. Don't be scared, I'm here, and you sister in-laws are here with you too. You've got nothing to worry about,” Mrs Clyde said with a smile. She nodded and watched Ryker taking his luggage box out of the closet. “Ryker, you won't say goodbye to your wife?” Mrs Clyde asked with a smile. He stopped and swallowed hard before
