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!

    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

    "Why are you dressed in such a manner, Ryleigh?" Curiosity prompted Abby to inquire while carrying Amelia. Rye was standing in front of the just-acquired full-length mirror. She expelled a heavy sigh. "I have a new job and have recently submitted my resignation from Shine and Dime." “What?” Abby displayed a shocked expression and moved closer to her. Still, Amelia was engaged in hair play with Abby. "The offer is more generous, and I need only—" "What will your employment entail? Don't say you're going to become a pole dancer!” Rye delivered a slam to Abby. “Silly. I will serve as the CEO's secretary and have been promised generous pay. And you're aware that it's a good concept, right? Amelia is growing rapidly—" Abby nodded, "I know.” Abby strolled up to the sofa and sat down before asking, "Well, if you won't mind, may I know the name of the company or only the name of your boss?" Amelia was permitted to sit on her lap. "It's confidential and I've been instructed not to disc

    Ryleigh acknowledges that her job is simple. Specifically, she must deal with Ace Matthew's bipolarity. Even though she attempts to avoid him, she cannot. She was waiting for the wall clock to strike twelve when Ace obstructed her vision. She then grimaced but later forced a smile. The other part of her thinking whispered, "You must be kind to your boss." "Do you need anything, Boss?" she asked with a sarcastic tone in her voice. "Let's have lunch," he stated monotonously. It is a statement, not a question, to which she did not respond and instead exhibited a gaping mouth. "What game did you intend to play again?" The facial expression of Ace remains unchanged. “Why do you continuously accuse me of playing games?” She said, "Isn't it?" and laughed cynically. "Why would the enigmatic Ace Will Matthew take me to lunch? You dislike forming relationships with women, so why are you here asking me out?" she asked incredulously. It's the honest truth! Abby, Flora, and the others were a

    "Fuck you, Blue! Withdrew it!” The voice of Ace echoed through the empty hall. The one named Blue went away from him. "I'm sorry, man, I can't—" "Damn it! Why didn't you inform me before scribbling my name on that damned paper?!" Still audible in Ace's voice is anger. One thing he detests is when others make decisions without his consent. "Come on, pal. You can do it. Moreover, your adversary is that conceited midget." “Bento?” Blue nodded. "See, it's simple. You can knock out that thug with a single blow." “Nonetheless, you should have notified me!” He yelled and took a step forward to approach Blue, but the latter moved away. He halted and fixed his gaze on his. “Therefore, I shall not take part.” Blue laughed out loud and then returned. "Do you wish for haters?" Ace smirked. "I already own. And I don't care." "They have paid for the tickets and will be waiting for you. You won't believe it, but all tickets so

    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
