Thank you for reading. Sorry for not updating yesterday, I suddenly developed a bad cough and I'm still unwell. Please be patient... I'll be ending the book soon.
“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
Lora was dressed in a black and white pencil dress that day, so it was easy for Ryan to have access to her core. When he slid his hand under her dress and up her thigh, Lora trembled as tingles coursed through her. She bit her lower lip and involuntarily clamped her legs shut, trapping Ryan’s naughty hand between her thighs. “Don’t hide from me,” Ryan said in a low, husky voice before slipping his hand out and carrying Lora bridal style. He placed her on a reclining leather couch and got down on his knees, settling between her legs. Lora blushed when Ryan slid his hands under her dress and began to take off her panties. As he did this, Ryan glanced up at Lora, smirking when he saw her blushing. “C-Can we turn off the lights?” Lora requested, her heart pounding hard in her chest. Touching her core was one thing but having Ryan’s face on it was another. She was so nervous. Ryan let out a low chuckle just as he slid down Lora’s panties completely. “I want to see all of you, baby
“Congratulations on getting rid of Lewis Hendrix, ma’am. Now you can run the company without any obstacles,” Hannah Collins, Lora’s assistant, said. Lora smiled. Although Lewis and Craig were released on bail for them to await trial, it was a relief not to have them in the company. Otherwise, they could have caused the downfall of Davis & Co.“That’s right… is Miss Kingsley’s design ready for production?” Lora asked. “Yes, it is. I’ll monitor the project closely to make sure no one tries to steal it again. But no one would dare to now that Lewis is paying for his actions,” Hannah replied. “Mr Kingsley really loves you, ma’am. He sorted everything out and you didn’t even have to lift a finger.” Lora smiled at the thought of Ryan. Indeed, Ryan had been very nice to her. He put her first and always prioritised her safety and happiness. With him, she felt secure. When he was near, she felt at ease as though she was home. “Arrange a special gift to give to Diane Kingsley as an apolo
Miles Kingsley froze. He turned to look at the source of the voice and his eyes widened when he saw a small adorable figure running towards him. “Grandpa!” The little girl wrapped her arms around Miles’ legs and looked up. “You’re Daddy’s Daddy, right? You look alike and you look like Ethan too.”Miles’ heart skipped a beat. He looked down at the little girl and then looked up at the woman who was approaching while holding the hand of a little boy who looked so much like Ryan. “This…” Miles was bereft of any words. He turned to look at Ryan, a questioning look on his face. “What’s going on, son? Are these your children?” Miles asked. Ryan nodded and replied, “Yes, Dad. This is Ella and this is Ethan. Not only is Larisa alive, but she also gave me two beautiful children.”Miles glanced at the two children, his eyes watering with tears. He said, “So, I’m a grandfather… and I’m the last person to know that my son has children?” “Miles, it’s not really easy to tell you anything whe
It was a weekend and Ryan had asked Lora to escort him on a business trip. Since she was going to miss him if he went alone, Lora agreed to tag along. “So, where are we going? Is it a nice place? Maybe we can have a mini vacation while we are at it,” Lora asked as Lawrence drove them to the airport. “It’s a secret…” Ryan responded with an air of mystery. Lora arched an eyebrow, curiosity creeping into her. She smiled and asked playfully, “What do you mean? I will know when we land anyway.”“No, you won’t,” Ryan replied. "I will make sure you only find out when we arrive at the hotel." Lora glanced at him with confusion on her face but Ryan didn’t explain what he meant. She only understood his words when they had flown for many hours and Ryan suddenly decided to blindfold her. “Ryan… can you stop being so mysterious?” Lora protested. “Where are you taking me?”“Do you trust me?” Ryan asked in a deep velvety voice. “Yes, I do… very much,” Lora replied. “Well, then you have to f
“Oh, Lora... fuck!” Ryan groaned as he mercilessly pounded in and out of Lora’s core. After burying himself in Lora’s warmth, he lost control. Pleasurable tingles coursed throughout his body. He could feel them in his toes, fingers... in every fiber of his being. He had always imagined himself making love to Lora. How it would feel having her beneath him as he thrust into her... However, reality was far different from his fantasies. It was better... Lora’s moans... the way it felt to kiss her, the way her body reacted to his thrusts... everything about Lora amplified the pleasure for Ryan. It was like he was already in heaven. “Ryan! Yes, right there!” Lora cried out and Ryan sped up his movements. He pounded into her passionately, each thrust he made felt like it was hitting her soul. Like Ryan, Lora too felt pleasure like no other. Electric currents coursed through her, making her body shudder the harder and deeper Ryan's thrusts became. A sharp, pleasurable ache settled
Lora and Ryan took a night stroll as streetlights cast a warm ambience over the cobblestone streets, lighting up the path for the couple. The air was cool and carried the faint scent of flowers from nearby gardens, mixed with the sweet aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries wafting from cafes that were still open into the night. Lora took a deep breath, sighing in satisfaction. The night was perfect and she wouldn't have it any other way. “Has Jason called you or he’s still quiet?” Ryan suddenly asked as they wandered down the quiet streets. Lora glanced at Ryan and raised an eyebrow. She asked, “Where’s that question coming from?” She wondered if Ryan was still insecure about Jason. Lora had made it clear that she had ended things with him so that they could start over on a clean slate... but it seemed Ryan couldn't forget about the man she once dated. “I just find it strange that he went quiet just like that. Maybe he’s planning something,” Ryan responded, his eyebrows furr
“So, are you going to tell me how you figured out I was Larisa?” Lora asked Ryan for the umpteenth time. They were on their way back to Moonstone City and she kept trying to find out how Ryan found out who she really was.However, Ryan kept dodging the question and talking about something else. This made Lora suspicious and she was now more interested in knowing. “I know you hired someone to investigate me but you couldn’t have found anything. My uncle is an excellent tech guy. He can make anyone disappear,” Lora remarked. She sat back in her comfortable leather chair in the private jet, giving Ryan a side glance. “Come on, tell me. I want to know… I don’t think it’s Ivy. She wouldn’t have wanted you to know who I really was,” Lora added. Ryan’s eyes slightly widened. He looked at Lora and asked, “Ivy had known about you and the kids earlier?” He thought she found out when she kidnapped Lora. Once again, Ryan's heart was completely filled with guilt. If only he hadn't fallen for
“Good morning, Mrs Kingsley,” Ryan said in a husky voice, gently nudging Lora so she could wake up. “I know I said we won’t go out today, but I want us to have a special breakfast,” Ryan said, leaning down to kiss Lora’s forehead. “Mmmmm,” Lora moaned, stirring from her sleep. “Let’s eat later, babe. I’m so tired.” “Oh, baby… I know but you have to wake up. I want us to watch the sunrise together and have breakfast. I promise, we will return to bed soon,” Ryan replied, stroking Lora’s hair. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a golden glow over the villa. Ryan and Lora were still in bed, wrapped in crisp white sheets. They hadn’t slept until a few hours earlier and that was because they couldn’t keep their hands away from each other. Lora slowly opened her eyes, the beautiful view of the lush tropical paradise coming into her view through the floor-to-ceiling windows. She could hear the sound of the waterfall as it blended with the chirping of birds in the distance and t
Lora and Ryan arrived at their honeymoon destination, their hearts feeling a little heavy from the revelation about who Jason really was. However, when they stepped into the villa, their hearts jumped with excitement. The place looked like a scene cut right out of a movie. They were in an excluded place on an island. Their villa which was completely made of glass, rested on a cliff and there was a waterfall at a nearby distance with large trees surrounding the villa. It felt like they were living in an all-year-round rainfall area because of the sound of water cascading down the rocks. The scent, the air… everything about the area was just so relaxing, making the couple forget about the whole world. At least at that moment, they wanted to focus only on each other. Anything else didn’t matter. The bedroom was huge and a kingsized bed was in the center with rose petals scattered all over it. A bucket of ice with a bottle of champagne was resting on a small bedside table with two
“Nonsense!” Charles yelled, his breathing becoming heavy. “Miles, if you won’t control your wife, I will. How dare she do this on your son’s wedding day?” Miles glanced at Celeste and frowned. He got up, about to approach her when Jason reached the stage. He grabbed the microphone from Celeste and said, “Good evening, everyone. I didn’t mean to disrupt the wedding of the lovely couple… I’m actually a secret son of Miles and Celeste Kingsley and I’m back to live with my family.” “Celeste… what’s going on? How is he my son?” Miles asked, his eyes wide in shock. Celeste glanced at Miles and explained, “I actually gave birth to twins. However, due to the situation back then… your father didn’t want me and your children couldn’t open up to me, I feared for my son’s life. I didn’t want to get caught up in a succession struggle, so I took him abroad and that’s where he grew up. I’m sorry I lied… but I didn’t want you to feel like he was there to steal Ryan’s position.” Ryan scoffed from
The most expensive ballroom was booked for Ryan and Lora’s wedding. Ryan had promised to make it grand and he didn’t disappoint. About a thousand people were invited and ninety percent of them were high society figures from all over the world. The rest were close friends and family, together with different media houses who were there to cover the whole event. Even world stars were invited to sing at the event, making it the most expensive wedding of the century.Everyone in the city, the country and all over the world knew one Ryan Kingsley, billionaire and CEO of the Kingsley Group was to wed Lora Davis, CEO of Davis & Co., also, a billionaire herself. The hall looked breathtaking with simple but stunning deco. Rows of gold and white chairs adorned with floral arrangements framed the aisle, leading to an arch draped in white roses at the altar. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a warm, ethereal glow over the place. Ryan stood at the altar, feeling nervous as he
Lora gasped when she saw the man’s face. She grinned and exclaimed, “I knew it was you.” Ryan looked confused, saying, “Wait… you recognised me?”“How can I fail to recognise my husband?” Lora asked and Ryan smiled happily. Diane froze when she heard their conversation. “What? You crashed the party?” She questioned, glaring at Ryan. She then turned to look at the man in front of her, her eyes widening. “Then you’re…”The man pulled off his helmet, revealing none other than Aiden Davis. “Oh my god!!!” Diane shrieked, her cheeks flushing pink. On the other side, Adan took off his helmet and winked at Bianca. He remarked, “Surprise.” Bianca blushed profusely. She had gotten a feel of his abs too. What would he think of her now?“How could you guys do this to us?” Bianca protested to hide her embarrassment. “It’s not fair! You guys were not supposed to be here!” Diane exclaimed and Ryan narrowed his eyes at her. “If we didn’t come, I’m afraid you would give your sister-in-law to
Ryan and his two groomsmen sat in a private room at the club, drinking whiskey and playing poker as soft music played in the background. Adan threw the stack of cards on the table in frustration and said, “Come on, Ryan! When you said you wanted to have a bachelor party since you never had one before you got married, I thought it was going to be wild man… Drinks, women- all the fun stuff. I can’t believe you want to play poker during your bachelor party.” Ryan frowned at his friend and replied, “Did you just say women? I’m a married man… I can’t hang out with other women. What if Lora leaves me again?”Adan rolled his eyes. “You won’t be cheating… it’s just to liven up the environment. This is boring, man.” “Of course, players like you would find this boring. Have you seen Aiden complaining?” Ryan asked and Aiden arched an eyebrow. He smirked and asked, “Shouldn’t you call me Uncle?” Adan laughed out loud. He exclaimed, “Yeah! Ryan, you’re supposed to respect the elders of the fam
The bridesmaids tried on their dresses and the men tried on their suits. The women would wear peach while the men would wear grey suits with peach bowties. “I love the dresses so much! As usual, you have a good eye for beautiful things, Lora,” Bianca exclaimed and Diane agreed with her. “That’s right... the dresses are comfortable and easy to dance in. I can’t wait to see your wedding dress-““I’m the only one seeing the wedding dress, the rest of you can see it on the wedding day,” Ryan remarked, his words making Diane pout. “That’s not fair, bro. You guys saw our dresses,” she complained. “That’s because it’s our wedding and we need to make sure you guys look good. As for the bride, I’ll help her choose the wedding dress she likes,” Ryan proclaimed. The rest of the guys chuckled. Adan said, “I guess we are no longer needed here.”“We still need your opinion on the wedding cake. So you can wait as I try on the dresses and then we can pick the cake,” Lora replied. She glanced at
“Is this some kind of joke?” Bianca questioned, glaring at the man in front of her. “No, it’s not. I’m here to be your partner-”“You’re not a model-”“For today, I am,” Adan responded and silence fell over the place. “I’m done here,” Bianca hissed, turning to leave. “Miss Jones, where are you going? We have a contract!” The director yelled. “Well, then you better sue me for breach of contract. I’m out of here!” Bianca yelled back as she left. The staff members glanced at Adan helplessly. “Sir, we-”Adan raised his hand to stop the men from speaking. He chuckled and said, “Let me talk to her.” He ran after Bianca before grabbing her arm, saying, “Hey-”However, Bianca flung his hand away viciously, spitting, “Don’t touch me!” Adan was taken aback by Bianca’s outburst. ‘I probably deserved that,’ he mused, knowing he had messed up when he let his emotions get the better of him the last time they talked. “Why are you tripping?” Adan asked, looking into her eyes. Anger flared th
Lora’s heart fluttered, butterflies in her stomach going wild. Tears rolled down her cheeks when she looked into Ryan’s eyes. She knew he would propose to her soon, but she had no idea he would do it this way. When she was in the helicopter, looking down at what Ryan had prepared, she thought she was dreaming. The effort he had put into the proposal was out of this world. She felt like she was a princess in her own fairytale movie. “Thank you, Ryan. I really like this surprise,” Lora remarked, sniffing away her tears. Ryan smiled and wiped Lora’s tears away before saying, “I’m glad you love it, baby.” The crowd soon joined the couple to congratulate them and wish them well. Charles Kingsley was the first to hug his grandson. He patted his back and said, “What you’ve done right here, sonny… this is what a real man does. I’m so proud of you.” Ryan smiled, hugging his grandfather back. He replied, “Thank you, Grandpa. I’m glad you were always there to guide me and make me realise
