“Ivy, what are you doing?” Ryan asked when he returned, his voice bringing Ivy back to the present. His eyes lowered to the file in Ivy’s hand and she placed it back on the table before smiling at him. She had wanted to go through it but Ryan returned before she could. “Ryan, can I work in your new jewelry company?” Ivy requested. Ryan frowned. He took a seat on his swivel chair and said, “Ivy-”“You’ve always been taking care of me… I’m a jewelry designer too and I would like to be of help to you.”When Ivy said that, the folds between Ryan’s eyebrows tightened. He thought about her condition and a complicated feeling crept into him. “Do you think I can’t manage to work in my condition?” Ivy asked in a soft, pitiful voice. Guilt filled Ryan’s heart and he didn’t know how to say no to her without making her feel bad. He cleared his throat and answered, “Of course you can work. You can join the company as one of the designers.” Ivy’s eyes lit up when he agreed. She smiled and rep

“How did you know about this place? Aren’t you new in this city?” Lora looked around the fancy restaurant and asked.Jason smiled. “I asked around about the best place to bring a beautiful lady on a date,” he remarked. Lora froze and her eyes slightly widened. When Jason saw her expression, he laughed heartily. He said, “Look at your expression. I’m just joking. I wanted to bring you here to celebrate your first partnership.” Lora came back to her senses after Jason clarified. She secretly let out a sigh of relief and replied, “Thank you, Jay. You’re always good to me… whether it's out of the country or here. I’m so grateful.” “It’s not for free… after this meal, you will owe me dinner too,” Jason uttered. Lora giggled. She shook her head before promising, “Of course, I’ll treat you to dinner next time.” The restaurant had dim lighting with some soft music playing in the background. It was giving off a calm but romantic vibe which was somewhat relaxing. As they continued to eat
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 13~ Is Larisa alive?
“He still thinks the world revolves around him,” Lora muttered under her breath. Ryan had already left but anger was still bubbling up within her. She returned with a new identity to put her past behind her and start anew but it seemed she became entangled with Ryan and Ivy once again. Lora’s eyes flashed when she recalled the thug’s words before they set the warehouse on fire. Someone wanted her out of the way and Lora could only assume that it was Ivy. Now that Ryan was giving her unnecessary attention, Lora knew it was only a matter of time before she became Ivy’s target again. ‘I have to avoid Ryan at all costs to protect myself and my children,’ she mused. If Ivy knew Lora had Ryan's kids, only the heavens knew what she would do to them. Jason saw her expression and asked, “Do you know Ryan?” It was strange how the man kept following Lora around. Lora came back to the present after that question. She smiled and said, “How can I know such an important man? I was just an orp
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 14~ A call
“I promised to marry her, Grandpa,” Ryan replied. Ivy got hurt because she was going to meet him. If he abandoned her, he didn’t think he could live with himself. Charles Kingsley frowned as he stared at his grandson. He couldn’t understand how someone so smart could allow a woman to trick him. “As long as I’m the elder in this family, I’ll never allow it,” Charles commanded. “Ivy Williams can never become a Kingsley.” He spoke with authority and Ryan didn’t dare try to convince him. Even though Charles was old, he was still the Chairman of the Kingsley Group and still carried an air of dominance and authority. “Grandpa, she got hurt because-”“I don’t care about what lies she’s told you to make you this way. Ryan, if you want to end up like your father, continue entertaining that woman. I was already disappointed with how you treated Larisa. She was such a sweet, kind woman and you blew it,” Charles remarked. Silence fell over them. For Ryan, the mention of Larisa caused him so
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 15~ Stalking
"Mr Kingsley, it's rude to come into my office without knocking," Lora said in a clipped tone. "Lora Davis," Ryan emphasised Lora's full name, "I have something to confirm with you. ” "What's the matter? If it's work-related, I'm already working on my first design and I'll let you know when I am done," Lora answered. "Lora. No, Larisa to be exact. I want to talk about your identity," Ryan said, looking intently into Lora's eyes. Hearing Larisa's name again, Lora couldn't help but roll her eyes. She didn't understand why Ryan was so obsessed with her identity. "Mr. Kingsley, I've explained it many times. If you have mental problems, please go to the hospital for treatment, I am not a doctor. ”Ryan seemed to expect Lora's response. He looked at Lora with a smile, slowly took out his phone, and showed her the picture on his phone.Lora glanced at the picture on Ryan’s phone but her face did nothing to betray her emotions. “Mr Kingsley, I don’t know who this Larisa you keep talking
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 16~ Lunch
“Lora…” Ryan said through gritted teeth. “How dare you call me a scumbag?” Even though he was just teasing her after she accused him of stalking her, he didn’t expect her to call him that. Anger bubbled up within him as he glared at Lora. “Isn’t this what scumbags do?” Lora asked calmly. “You have no reason to get so close to me, Mr Kingsley. Please respect yourself and be more professional.” Ryan’s jaw clenched before he stepped away from Lora. He scoffed and replied, “Don’t be so full of yourself, Miss Lora.”Lora let out a sigh of relief. With Ryan getting so close, it was hard to keep her hatred in check and she didn’t want to expose herself. “I’m not full of myself but I expect the both of us to act professional and not cross the line,” Lora stated firmly. Ryan frowned but he didn’t say anything as he tried to calm down from the embarrassment of being rejected. “Why did you come back to my office anyway? I’m on my way out,” Lora said. She didn’t like how Ryan kept giving h
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 17~ Guilt
“Ivy, what happened?” Ryan asked anxiously the moment he walked into Ivy’s hospital VIP ward. He had rushed over the moment Ivy called and said she had been injured. Looking at her legs covered in bandages, guilt crept into him and squeezed his heart. Ivy lay on the bed as the doctor tended to her. “Ryan, you’re here,” she said in a soft pitiful voice. “Don’t worry, I’m fine, the injuries are not serious.”Hearing her say that when she was clearly in pain filled Ryan’s heart completely with guilt. He glanced at the doctor and inquired, “Doctor, tell me her condition. How is she?”The doctor who happened to be Ivy’s physiotherapist, Richard Hart, looked at Ryan and sighed. “Why was Miss Williams left alone without help? It could have been dangerous and life-threatening,” Doctor Richard said. Ryan’s heart jumped into his throat. Life threatening? He never wanted to experience someone dying because he couldn’t protect them again. It was the worst feeling ever. “Is she ok?” He aske

“Lora, you came just in time, dinner is almost ready,” Freya Davis, Lora’s mother, said the moment Lora walked into the mansion. Lora smiled and replied, “I’m so lucky, can’t wait to have dinner.” She had been working overtime to finish the design on time, so she had asked her parents to pick up the kids from school. “Mommy, you’re back!” Ella threw herself into her mother’s arms and Ethan did the same. “Hey, my sweethearts,” Lora hugged her two children and a warm smile crossed her lips. Whenever she saw her children, her heart felt at rest. “How was your new school? Do you like it?” “It’s the best school!” Ethan replied with a serious expression. “Don’t worry about us, Mommy. We are well taken care of by grandma and grandpa and the teachers at school are so kind.” Lora let out a sigh of relief. She had been worried her children would get bullied at school but luckily, all went well. Looking at her parents, Lora remarked, “Thank you so much, Mom and Dad.” “You don’t need to

“A movie date?” Lora asked when she looked at the theater in front of them. “Yes… it’s during the week and it’s not crowded, so we can watch a movie. I would have wanted to book the whole place but I thought you would love to have a full experience,” Ryan replied, smiling. Lora glanced at him and said, “Since when are you into movies? You used to say they bore you.”Ryan chuckled awkwardly and replied, “I’m still not into movies but for you, I can watch a thousand movies if it means it would make you happy.” Lora smiled faintly. She recalled how she used to arrange for movie date nights, however, Ryan wasn’t into that in the past. In fact, they never went on dates or hang out together. However, it was different this time. Ryan was making the effort and she appreciated it. “So, what are we watching?” Lora asked as they walked towards the counter to stand in line just like everyone else. Ryan glanced at the screen and said, “Well, I don’t know what you like. We can watch a romantic
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 102~ Ready for him
“What? Ryan told you to be ready to get eaten?” Bianca exclaimed and Lora covered her mouth with her palm, looking around to make sure no one had heard her. “Sshh, you don’t have to announce it to the whole world,” Lora replied, her cheeks flushing pink. It was lunchtime and Lora met her best friend, Bianca Jones, for lunch and told her about Ryan’s words. Bianca whistled and replied, “You’re so lucky, my friend.”“Why? Because I’m going on a date?” Lora asked, her eyebrows creasing. “No, silly,” Bianca rolled her eyes. “Do you know what he means by, be ready to get eaten?"When Lora shook her head, Bianca added, "It means he’s going to eat you down there.” Lora gasped, her eyes widening. An image flashed through her mind and her face flushed again. Looking at her friend, she asked, “What? Why would he do that?” “It’s part of lovemaking, my friend,” Bianca said. She leaned over and whispered, “We need to visit a spa before lunch hour ends to... you know… make sure it’s smooth and

"Diane Kingsley? Is she Ryan Kingsley’s sister? Did she just call Miss Davis her sister-in-law?" Someone whispered. "I did hear of the scandal that Ryan was once married to Miss Davis. Have they made up?" "Does that mean the Kingsley group will be in alliance with the Davis & Co. Company? This is good for us!""Wait!" Craig yelled. "This isn't the matter we are here to discuss. Miss Davis ruined the company’s reputation and she has to go to prevent the VIP client from suing us.""Why would I sue my sister-in-law's company? Are you crazy, old man?" Diane said. She then turned to look at Lora before whispering, "Ryan told me you made up. Congrats! I'm so happy to see you two together again." Lora smiled and blushed. "I see he couldn't wait to tell the world, huh?" "He's so happy, you have no idea," Diane whispered before turning her gaze to the rest of the room. "I came here today, not to watch my sister-in-law get bullied, but to deal with the bastard who stole my customised design
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 100~ The VIP client.
“I second that. Lewis Hendrix would lead the company better.”“There’s been one issue after another ever since Miss Davis took over the position. I think it’s sufficient to say that she’s failed to run the company.” “That’s right. We don’t have funds to use on lawsuits. Who’s going to fix this mess? Our reputation will go down the drain.” The shareholders kept airing their views after Craig’s statement. Seated on one of the chairs around the long table, Lewis had a victorious smirk on his face as he watched the scene unfold. It was exactly as he had planned. This time, not even Jack Davis would be able to stop his daughter from being fired. The company’s reputation was going to be destroyed once everything blew up and Lora would have no way out of this. Ruining the company's image was enough for the board members to fire Lora Davis without waiting for the chairman's decision. Secretly taking out his phone, Lewis sent out a message. When he received a response, he smirked before c

“A trial period?” Freya Davis asked with a raised eyebrow. Ryan nodded and replied, “Yes, Ma’am. I know nothing I say right now will make you change your mind about me. So, I’ll show you that I’ll make your daughter the happiest woman in the world.”“And you only need thirty days to do that?” Freya questioned. “What if you’re just pretending in that thirty days?” “I can never pretend with Lora… I love her. I may have realised too late that she was very important to me, but I’ll make it up to her for the rest of her life,” Ryan proclaimed. Freya sighed, her brows creasing. She looked at Ryan and studied him intently before her gaze softened ever so slightly.“I see,” she remarked. “Since you’re offering thirty days to prove that you’re worthy of my daughter, I’ll give you a chance.”Ryan’s eyes lit up but before he could respond, Freya added, “But… If you fail to make Lora happy or if you hurt her again, I want you to leave her alone forever and never bother her again.”Ryan gulped,

“I can’t wait to have you and our children home, baby. I hate having to drop you off,” Ryan said after they got out of the car when they arrived at the Davis mansion. He sighed and added, "Being a gentleman is hard." Ryan walked Lora to the patio of the mansion and coiled his arm around her waist, pulling her close.“I wish you stayed with me tonight,” he remarked in his sexy husky voice.Lora smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, looking up at him.“I know but... I have to tell Mom and Dad about our reconciliation first. Dad may have said that he won’t interfere but Mom won’t be so easy to convince,” she replied.Ryan sighed again before saying, “I know. I noticed her reluctance to accept me last time. But I’ll do my best to win her over... if it means I have to eat a hundred chillies-““Don’t even think about it, Mr Kingsley!” Lora scolded. “Try another way... not one that will put you in harm’s way.”“Are you worried about me?” Ryan asked, arching an eyebrow. “Of course I
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 97~ Do things right
Although Lora and Ryan had been married and living together for three years in the past, their love-making wasn’t that great due to the lack of love and affection in their relationship. So, Lora didn’t really have the chance to explore her sexuality. She was reserved and inexperienced. However, as Ryan used his fingers to pleasure her down there, she felt like her veins were about to explode from the intense electric currents sizzling through her. The feeling was foreign, yet it felt so good. All she could do was scream in ecstasy. Lost in the throes of pleasure, she forgot about her shyness and rode Ryan’s fingers like a pro… taking what she wanted like the Queen she was. It was like her body had a mind of its own, setting the pace for what felt good for her and Ryan read her so well, moving in sync with her body. Lora had no idea one could seek pleasure like this. Happy tingles coursed through her and she didn’t know where they began or where they ended. Every part of her felt
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 96~ Pinch me
“Why do you keep looking at me like that?” Lora shyly asked, her face flushing pink. Ryan smirked before saying, “I just can’t believe how beautiful you are.” They were seated on a two-seater couch after their heartwarming reconciliation. Lora rolled her eyes. She remarked, “You don’t have to sweet talk me anymore… I’ve already agreed to give you a chance.” Ryan frowned. He wrapped his arm around Lora’s waist before pulling her close so that her back was resting on his chest. “Hey… your wounds-”“Sshh, the wounds are healing, I’m fine,” Ryan said. He wrapped his arms around Lora’s waist before placing his chin on her shoulder. “Just because I won the election, does it mean I have to stop campaigning?” “What?” Lora laughed. The sound of her laughter tickled Ryan’s heart. How long had he longed to hear that sound in his house?Lora pulled back to look at him over her shoulder and asked, “What kind of comparison is that?”“The most logical one,” Ryan replied, smirking. “I was campa

Ryan’s heart skipped a beat, a thousand emotions washing over him. Was he dreaming? Was the woman in his arms real?He couldn't believe it... However, Lora’s lips moved against his so passionately, igniting a spark of desire within him. Although he was taken aback by Lora’s actions, Ryan wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer before kicking the door shut. He cupped the back of her head before taking charge and deepening the kiss. Fireworks exploded and sparks flew around them as they kissed so intensely. Deep down, Ryan did a happy dance in his heart. It was real!Lora kissed him! It felt so surreal... as if he was living in a fantasy world where Lora could willingly kiss him. However, the vivid taste of her lips and the thousands of tingles rushing through him brought him back to reality. Lora was in his arms, kissing him like it was the first and the last. How long had he been longing for a kiss like that? A kiss that could relay one's true feelings. Ryan p
