“Ryleigh!” Flora approaches Rye, holding a dish of food in her left hand. "Thank God you've arrived. You won't believe that" she says, making Rye frown.“Huh?”"Could you please bring this upstairs?" Flora gave her the tray, which Rye promptly took. "We have a group of VIPs in that area." Rye turned around and looked back as she started and pointed through her. "See... and the food was also provided by one of our VIPs. The name is printed on the receipt. Thank you!" she exclaimed, turning away from her.Rye's face furrowed as he continued to stare at Flora as she entered the kitchen. ‘Why is she in such a rush when there were four waitresses?’ She pondered.She returned her gaze to the two long tables. She guessed such people were business monsters with politicians as partners. Nothing has changed.Rye shook her head and began to walk upstairs. When her gaze rested on the left table and saw a pair—French kissing each other, she groaned as she climbed onto the second floor.‘Gross!’Sh
"Agent Smith, if you're busy...""Call me Abby or Abigail, Uncle. For Pete's sake, we're not at work." Abby interfered.Uncle shakes his head. "You are constantly evolving, Abby. And what did you accomplish with the other unit, and why are you recruiting Carter?"Abby exhaled deeply and sipped from her water glass. "My squad needs assistance, uncle.""Then, why don't you simply join the recruits?" While carving the steak on his plate, her uncle stated. He used his fork to pick up the chopped meat and then glanced at Abby. He asked, "Right?" before placing the item in his mouth and beginning to chew it."Since I became your agent, you knew I despise people who will just be a burden during our operations.""After completing their assignment, Carter has the ability to become a team leader. Why do you—?"What color does it have?" Abby's continued interference causes her uncle to shake his head."I'm still talking, Abby. Do not exhibit such an attitude."Again, Abby heaved a heavy sigh."
Ryleigh exhaled deeply as the taxi pulled up to the ABCD building. She's at it again! She paid the driver, then exited the car. She had been chanting "may this day be good" since entering the building till she boards the elevator.Again, she is alone inside, which gives off a creepy atmosphere. Her heart is not beating regularly. Her thoughts are disorganized. However, she hopes that Ace will be kind to her today. She was aware that she had barely met the man and owed him something, yet her soul seemed to already trust him to the point that she felt safe despite his identity.Rye is not the type of girl who acts somewhat clumsy. Since then, she has truly adopted the attitude of a courageous lion, despite her underlying fear. She became vulnerable when she fell in love in the past.Her mind whispers, "Do you still love him?" which causes her to shake her head.That person is in her past. She will not drag him into the present or her future.However, he is Amelia's father!Her mind jive
On a beautiful morning, Keith and Luke agreed to have a cup of coffee and discuss Luke's other occupation as an agent. Luke is an agent for Abby's uncle's secret spy business in New York. He is both a CEO and an agent who receives assignments and rescues individuals in danger. Additionally, Keith is senior to Abby, as she is their head's niece. Luke began, "I will not transfer to Smith's team," as he stirred his coffee and sipped from the cup. "Don't be stubborn, Luke. The boss has commanded that we transfer, therefore we must comply," stated Keith. "I do not wish to interact with a psychotic woman who has requested that I please her. What the heck, man!" Keith's eyes widened in response to what Luke had just spoken. "What just did you say?" he inquired. He wanted to confirm that he had heard correctly. "That woman is a lunatic. She wants us to have sexual relations in order to satisfy each other." Keith did not express his views, and his mind began to wander. How did Abby pull
You do not have to give up when things begin to go wrong. However, Lucas's mind cannot even retrieve every notion that enters it. He had no idea where he went astray. He gave Hannah everything he had. However, why? Why must she lie and perform actions behind his back? And he is foolish to ask himself the question if Hannah is the only person who can provide him with answers. The following day, the doctor returned with encouraging news. Hela is recovering, and they do not need to be in the hospital for long. Luke is unable to exclude Hannah from the room since she is breastfeeding her child. And Lucas is aware of how advantageous it is for his daughter. For the sake of his daughter, he kept her fury under check. When they arrived home, Lucas instructed the nanny to take Hela to her room. And he instructed Hannah to accompany him to his office. Since Lucas's vehicle accident, in which he cannot recall recent events, it feels as though something is missing; he wished to discover wh
Ryleigh was getting ready for work when her phone rang. She quickly took it off the table's surface. "Hey!" "Hello, I can't make it, I'm very sorry," It's Abby on the other end of the call. Rye expelled a heavy sigh. She inquired, "For real?" "Yeah. Something urgent has arisen at the business, and uncle cannot take charge. I am in charge of—" "I understand," Rye interrupted the hum with her response. "Guess I should notify my manager that I'll be absent—" "Hey! You may bring Amelia along. Perhaps your management will consider it." Rye did not react and contemplated for a minute. Could she? What if Mrs. Guzman becomes angry? "I do not believe so." Rye answered, "The manager is not in the country, but I can contact her." "It's all fine. Then why do you have a problem? You stated that your manager is kind, therefore I believe she would comprehend." "Do you think so?" Rye approached her room and searched for her child. She sighed when she noticed the infant was still sleeping.
When Ryleigh realized what had happened, she stared at Ace. She exclaimed, "Are you kidding me?" but the man shook his head. Ace sat down while carrying the child to regain his composure. Rye yanked a strand of her hair out of annoyance. She took a step forward and drew the chair across Ace. The man's eyes met hers as he glanced at her. "You already know, Ace. If you're treating me as a joke or your source of amusement, you'd best return my child and leave the area, or at least go somewhere I can't see you. Please..." she pleaded, but the man simply chuckled. And Rye was aware that the moment was not ideal for admiring the beauty of the smile that crept into his lips. If she were one of those courageous women who fight and don't care about their reputation, she may already be yelling at him. Nonetheless, she maintains respect for herself. She pleaded, almost in a whisper, "Please... give back my daughter so that I may start working already." "You are unable to work while carrying
It was a beautiful morning when Keith called their mutual friend Drake for assistance. Since Keith does not trust the doctor Hannah phoned recently. Lucas was already awake prior to leaving his home. However, Luke did not speak much that day, which Keith saw negatively. Keith decided that Lucas already possessed knowledge that activated his intellect. Thus, he passed out. It's not that he's worried Luke may recover his memories, but he doesn't want Luke to regret what he did to his ex-wife Ryleigh. Rye has already forgotten everything about her previous marriage and based on what Abby said as the woman began to tell him a story, her buddy is moving on and taking it easy. Is she? Abby informed Keith about Luke and Rye's history. Abby is responsible for the manner in which Luke disciplines Rye and the manner in which he compelled her to have sexual relations with him. With it, he understands Luke, but only to the extent that he wrecked her. If it traumatizes Rye, there is a chance t
Ryleigh’s POV Months have already passed, yet Lucas is still not awake. There has been no advancement. And I almost gave up, but I am aware that he is fighting. He is attempting to return for me... for us. And every idea of losing him nearly rends me apart. How many drugs has he received by injection? I lost count. I pray every day and every moment, but especially while I am by his side, holding his hand, pressing it, and conversing with him. I am aware that there is yet hope. And I believe that miracles are possible. A month ago, our daughter became one year old. We celebrated it in his room, attempting to lighten the mood on that particular day, but we all knew it was futile. Lucas is laying on a hospital bed with equipment inserted into various portions of his body, and he is sleeping so soundly that we fear he will pass away at any time. Damn it! May God have mercy on me. Why should he be one of the many individuals who desired to engage in pointless activities? Why must Luca
When you believed that everything was in order, you relaxed and enjoyed yourself. Ryleigh never imagined that Hannah would reach the point where she would attempt to hurt innocents. Since Hannah had simply given Lucas until 4:00 p.m. to arrange everything, he asked her to stay, but she declined. "We must notify Abby. They can assist." “No! I will handle this on my own. Please comply. It is for your benefit. You have no idea what will happen—" "Lucas, we cannot predict what will occur. Please, let's coordinate with them rather than with law enforcement. You're a broker, correct?" "I resigned." The eyes of Rye expanded. "I don't care. Abby is my companion. Keith and Drake are your friends.” "This has no bearing on them. I must resolve this issue by myself." Rye yanked a hair strand out of fury. "You don't get it, do you? I desired to assist. My daughter—" "Our daughter," he remarked. “Yes. Ours. And I must—" Luke cupped her face and peered into her eyes, which caused her to st
It is an undeniable fact that we enjoy being liked. We have a natural yearning to feel a part of a group or to be liked by another individual. Life does not always afford us acceptance, however. Instead, it is frequently loaded with rejections, refusals, and everything else. Rejection helps us move our attention from our mistakes to how we can improve. Ace will utilize rejection as a defining event for himself. He then realizes that rejection becomes easier with repeated exposure. Continuously running into it demonstrates a gutsy will to seek out opportunities. And each time you recover from a setback, you emerge somewhat more powerful. Although he may accept the rejection, the anguish remains. It is still apparent, and it has further hurt his heart. The suffering of loving someone who does not return his affection is killing him. He feels as though his universe has fallen apart. Often, loving someone who does not love you back is heartbreaking. It is even awful. It is simple t
The following day, Rye was astonished to find Lucas sitting in her family's living room and conversing with her father. Then, carrying her child, she approached them. When he spotted them, the man stood up and smiled, which is unusual. He is not this way. She had never seen Lucas grin at her with such sincerity as he does now. He welcomed them with "Good morning, Rye" and moved closer to them. "You're early," is the only thing she can say. "I've decided to pay you a visit, and your father and I will be attending the summit." Rye was unable to speak. She suddenly recalled Ace. ‘How is he doing?’ She simply nodded. Lucas extended his hand towards Amelia and bit his lower lip. “Can I?” She grinned. The man desired to carry his daughter, thus Amelia was handed up to him. She asserted, "Let's have a cup of hot coffee in the kitchen." Lucas desired to smile and was incredibly red-faced. However, he held it. He does not wish to presume things for which he may have the opportunity.
Following breakfast, Rye decided to depart the motel. However, as she was ready to touch the elevator button, she hesitated. It began to manifest, Lucas. Her heart is close to bursting out of her chest due to shock. Her lips parted and her eyes expanded. The elevator was about to close when Lucas placed his hand between the doors to prevent it from closing. He then moved outside, but his sight never left Rye. Rye then pretended to have a cough and was about to enter the room when he stopped her. "We need to talk," he stated in a monotone voice. At that time, her body did not react appropriately. She caught herself nodding just now. She removed her arms from his grasp, causing him to scowl. He asserted, "Follow me," and started to walk. After a few minutes of strolling, they encountered the individuals she desired to avoid. “Ryleigh?” She whispered "Dad." It was her father and mother who were carrying her daughter. She is uncertain whether she will cry at that moment. Especially
Before arriving at the hotel, Ace never bothers Rye on their flights. The summit arranged for everything, from food to lodging. They will spend a week in California. At eight o'clock in the evening, he invited Rye to supper, but she declined. It is yet another sort of suffering for him. But what more could he do if she refused, claiming she was not hungry? Afterward, he spent the night alone. He decided to go to the bar in the restaurant where he had dinner. He then reached for some potent alcoholic beverages in an effort to forget his troubles. Ace was certain that it was Rye, not his past, that constantly caused his chest to clench. It took him days to grasp it. Since he met Rye, he has already let go of Margaret's memories and accepted everything from the past. When he had nearly consumed seven drinks, he decided to ascend to his chamber. When he reached their floor, he halted in front of Rye's room with the intention of knocking, but instead, he turned his back and entered the ro
"Why are you resigning, Lucas?" Keith's automobile was filled with the roar of his voice. They were on their way to the main office to hand over Lucas' resignation letter. Keith is unaware of his motive, but he is aware that it involves Hannah and Rye. “You can simply take a break without having to re—" Lucas said, "I've already chosen." His forehead contracted. “Why?” Lucas glanced at him before returning his attention to the road. "Do I need reasons for quitting?" he inquired. "Of course." He laughed with sarcasm. "I must only concentrate on the company. Individual investors are leaving the market. Hela also needs my focus. Perhaps these are sufficient grounds, right?" Keith let out a heavy sigh. "Well, the choice is yours. I am aware I cannot undo it." "I also wanted to recuperate fully from that accident and desperately wanted to retrieve those memories," he added. Keith nodded and remained silent till they arrived at the agency. It took only minutes for Lucas to submit
Rye spent all of her time in Ace's office, reading books and browsing the web. She was unable to comprehend Ace's actions. It seems like he's, her boyfriend. The manner in which he behaves as a possessive lover... being bipolar as a result of what occurred earlier—he is merely stating the obvious. And when she attempted to confront him, he would instantly change the subject. She sighed and glanced at her wristwatch, which revealed that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. She looked at Ace and sighed once more. He is continuing to sign some documents that he was apparently unable to sign earlier due to distraction. She is curious as to why. She stood and adjusted her attire before approaching him. Ace then felt her presence, prompting him to look at her with a slightly furrowed brow. She inquired, "What time are we leaving for home?" Ace looked back over his actions. "I'm just going to complete this," he responded. She then nodded, placed her hand behind her back, and mo
After leaving the hospital, Rye and Abby proceeded to a coffee shop to discuss various matters. Abby exhales deeply and cannot look directly into Rye's eyes. Because she anticipated that her friend would inquire about her. "Your sigh is really disturbing, Abby. Seems you're nervous, huh?" Rye inquired while sipping her iced caramel coffee. She said, "I loathe the way you stared at me." Rye's brow furrowed as she nibbled on her onion toast. She added as she sipped her coffee, "I know you have a lot of questions running through your head right now, and I'm considering how to answer them." Rye let out a quiet chuckle. "You know me too well," she said. She gave a headshake. "I only wanted to ask one question. Do not fret," she added. At that moment, Abby scoffed. "You cannot deceive me. I anticipated that you would have additional questions following that." She even tapped the wooden table while laughing. “Amazing. Indeed, you're an agent," she confirmed, observing Abby's widening e
