Thank you for reading.
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
Days came as quickly as they went. On one weekend, Ryan and Lora took the kids to the arcade. The sound of laughter and flashing lights filled the bustling arcade as Ryan led his family through the rows of flashing games and prize machines. Ryan grinned as he held up a stack of tokens. He glanced at the twins and said, “Who’s excited to have fun?”“MEEEE!” Ella, as usual, jumped happily, reaching for the tokens. She said, “I want to play so many games, Daddy.” Ryan glanced at Ethan and asked, “What about you, buddy?”“Anything is fine,” Ethan replied calmly. “He’s excited too, Daddy. He’s just shy to say,” Ella remarked and the adults chuckled. Ethan rolled his eyes at his sister but he didn't say anything to refute her words. Ella moved from one station to another, her excitement infectious. It was like she didn’t know what game to choose. Regardless, she seemed to be having fun. Ryan noticed that Ethan’s gaze seemed to linger on the racing game. He smiled and asked, “Ethan,
“Mommy, why don’t we all sleep over at Daddy’s place?” Ella asked while they were on their way back. She looked at her brother for support and Ethan looked at Lora before saying, “Let’s all sleep at Daddy’s house tonight, Mommy. We will go back tomorrow.” Ryan and Lora had agreed that the children would sleep over that night. Having never stayed with kids before, Ryan hired four nannies and four personal nurses to help him take care of the children in case of anything. However, hearing the children’s suggestion, he couldn’t be more thrilled. It would be better if he learnt how to take care of the twins from Lora. He also wanted her to sleep over at their mansion which had been unoccupied for years. Even though they didn't have wonderful memories in it, it was still their first property as a married couple. Looking at Lora, he uttered, “I think you should listen to the kids and sleepover at the mansion. It’s home anyway... I know we said we will wait but I think it’s ok since we wi
“That bastard! How dare he mock me?!”“He’s the one who cheated, why should I be the one to avoid him?” “Fuck you, Noah and that bitch you call your wife!” Diane screamed at the top of her lungs with her head outside the car window, the night breeze hitting her face as Aiden sped his car through the streets. He was helping her let out her frustrations by taking a drive around the city. “I hate you for wasting my time! Don’t think I care about you, you’re just trash!” “Don’t let me see your ugly face again!”Diane sat back in her seat, her face flushed from the cold air. She was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling as she tried to calm down. All that screaming seemed to have sobered her up and her anger disappeared. Aiden glanced at her and asked, “Do you feel better now?”“Yeah… it feels good to let it out of my chest. I don’t know why I just froze when I met them… I should have given them a piece of my mind,” Diane remarked, the memory from a few hours earlier flashi
The day of the annual Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meeting had arrived and Ryan was present as promised. "Are you sure you're not busy?" Lora asked worriedly when they arrived at the children's school. "No, I'm not... I'll be going on leave soon so I've delegated most of my work," Ryan replied. "And I wouldn't miss this important moment for anything in the world. My father stopped showing up when I was young and it affected me... I don't want our kids to go through the same." Lora bit her lower lip, her heart feeling full. There was just something attractive about a responsible, present father. Right at that moment, Lora loved Ryan a little more. Ryan and Lora entered the school auditorium, holding Ethan and Ella’s hands. The hall was buzzing with a low hum of parents and teachers chatting as they filled the seats. Ethan and Ella immediately spotted their friends and waved excitedly. They wanted their friends to see that they came with both their parents to the PTA meeting. “

Months later… “Is it ok if we leave the children with you?" Ryan asked his family. It was the weekend and Ryan and Lora had decided to take the children to the Kingsley mansion so that they could spend time together. Charles Kingsley was already holding little Lucas while Miles was holding Riley. The twins had grown so fast and could now toddle around all over the place. “I don’t mind staying with them if they are this cute,” Charles remarked while making funny faces at little Lucas. Ella and Ethan were already following Diane around, asking her to take them shopping. They seemed not to care that their parents were going to leave them there. Ryan and Lora shared a look before laughing. Lora said, “It seems we are not needed.”“That’s because they know they are in safe hands,” Ryan replied. He called out to Diane, “Sis, you can use my card-”“Come on, I have my own money to spoil my niece and nephew,” Diane replied. “Besides, the only friend I have went abroad and is yet to be ba
Three months later... Adan carried Bianca into their villa. They had just arrived at the place they would spend their honeymoon at and Adan wanted to carry his wife into their villa. He went upstairs and placed her gently on the bed. Looking down at her, he grabbed her left hand and kissed her wedding ring. “I’m happy to be here with you, Mrs Nicholson,” he said in his deep velvety voice. Bianca’s face flushed pink. The last couple of weeks had been nothing but wonderful. Adan had taken her on several dates, they spent a lot of time together and had grown closer during that time. What was supposed to be an arranged loveless marriage turned out to be a marriage that they both wanted, the contract long forgotten. They held a grand wedding in the city and after the reception, they immediately got on a flight, not wanting to delay their honeymoon. After all, tonight was the first time they would make love to each other. Biting her lower lip, Bianca remarked, “I’m happy to be you
Bianca stood face to face with the woman who had run away earlier. She gulped, feeling a lump in her throat as she studied Serena Pierce’s facial features. Bianca had to admit she was beautiful. She had dark brown hair with captivating brown eyes and her body was to die for. “How can I help you?” Bianca asked, sounding a little stiff. She had no idea why the woman who had run away earlier was suddenly in her ward, so she had her guard up. “Are you worried that I’ll steal Adan away from you?” Serena answered with a question. "I heard you're having an arranged marriage."Bianca frowned, irritation flaring through her. She glanced at Serena and replied, “Look, if this is a confrontation about me staying away from Adan then please, save yourself the embarrassment and leave my ward. I don’t want to fight with you. After all, your parents saved my life.” “Do you love Adan?” Serena suddenly asked. "Or are you marrying him because you were forced to?"Silence fell over the place. Bianca
“Say that again,” Adan requested, looking into Bianca’s eyes. His heart was racing at a thousand miles per second and he could feel electric currents coursing through him, an aftereffect of the passionate kiss they just shared. Bianca’s face reddened. She bit her lower lip and sheepishly said, “I have feelings for you.” Adan felt like his heart had jumped out of his chest and soared high up into the sky. A grin formed on his lips, his eyes lit up with joy and he pulled Bianca in for a hug. “I know it will take some time for you to fall in love with me. But I’m willing to wait…” Adan remarked. The two continued to share a hug until someone at the door cleared their throat. “I see you lovebirds are getting closer.” The two pulled away from the hug and glanced at the door to see Lora and Ryan walking into the ward. Lora wore a smile on her face. She looked at her friend and was genuinely happy for her, knowing Bianca already had a crush on Adan but she didn’t want to accept it beca
"What?" Bianca blinked, her heart racing in her chest. Of all things, she didn't expect Adan to ask her such a question. "Didn't you say I wasn't your type?" She questioned, furrowing her eyebrows despite the millions of butterflies that were fluttering in her stomach. Adan chuckled. He cupped Bianca’s face and replied, "I lied. Why wouldn't you be my type? You're gorgeous. You're the most beautiful blonde, green-eyed goddess I've ever seen."Bianca’s face flushed pink. She bit her lower lip and said, "I now know why you're a playboy. Your game is smooth... if I didn't know you, I would have fallen for your charms."Hurt flickered through Adan's eyes. He sighed and replied, "I'm not a playboy. That's just what I made everyone believe." "What?" Bianca laughed. "Come on, Adan. I'm back and ok now. You don't need to come up with lies because you feel guilty for what happened. I already know why you never wanted to get married." "Bee... I don't know how to say this," Adan responded. "
Hours earlier. Bianca felt like she had been hit by a truck. Every cell in her body hurt. Breathing felt like she was swallowing molten lava. She hadn't eaten in the last two days, so she was very low on energy and her injuries were taking long to heal. "Have some soup. You're going to feel better and gain some strength," the elderly woman who had been taking care of Bianca offered. With difficulty, Bianca propped herself up and accepted the bowl. She then ate the soup quickly and the elderly woman watched her with a warm smile on her face. Bianca’s face was still swollen and bruised and it was hard to make out her facial features. "Thank you," Bianca said when she was done, her voice hoarse. "Oh don't mention it," the woman remarked. "My name is Rita Pierce. The man who saved you is my husband, Josaphat Pierce. Don't worry, you're safe here. We live with our daughter, Serena and our three grandchildren." Bianca nodded, looking around and realising she was in a modest bedroom
“Sir, we've found something.” Adan’s heart jumped to his throat at those words. He turned sharply to face one of the IT men, asking, “What did you find?” “Although we can’t see the kidnapper, we can see Miss Jones being forced into a second car on a camera near the blind spot. The license plate was fake, but we are working on tracking the make and the model to know who owns the car,” the IT man reported. “What about the thing I asked you to look into?” Adan inquired. He was referring to the background check he had ordered on Cheryl. “Yes, we did find something,” the IT man replied. “She had withdrawn about a hundred thousand dollars from her savings account two days ago. However, since she didn’t use digital transfer, we can’t trace where the money went. We just have to wait until we find the owner of the second vehicle.” Adan’s jaw clenched and Ryan placed a hand on his shoulder before squeezing it. He said, “We are going to find her, bro.”“I swear, if Cheryl has anything to do
“Are you telling me none of you were able to find my fiancee?” Adan yelled. “Then what the hell am I paying so much money for?” “We are working on it, Sir,” the IT man said. “We need time-”“Time? Does my fiancee have the luxury of time? Each second that she’s out there, she’s in danger. I need to find her as soon as possible,” Adan hissed, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. It had been two days since Bianca went missing. Two days since the one who had tampered with the CCTV at the club disappeared and two days without any news about Bianca. Adan was going crazy. Who would dare kidnap his fiancee? He didn’t remember having any enemies recently. Could it have been someone with an old grudge? Grudges were not a new thing in the business world. The competition was stiff and winning certain projects meant being hated by the others who wanted the same projects. Adan hired the best hackers in the city to track Bianca. However, they were only able to find the first vehicle she was t
