“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

    “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

    "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

    “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

    “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

After several years, the city’s most eligible bachelor had finally decided to settle down with the love of his life.

    “That’s not possible! This is my work and I have no reason to steal anyone’s work,” Lora said, her eyebrows creasing at the accusation that one of the employees made. She had spent a lot of time on her design for someone to claim she copied someone’s work.“Miss Davis, we thought you’re good at designing, so why are you claiming Miss Williams’ work is yours? It would be great if you admitted your crime and begged Miss Williams for forgiveness,” one of the colleagues said. “There’s no way Miss Davis would copy someone’s work! Do you know who she is? She’s the-”“Hannah,” Lora said, stopping Hannah Collins’ words. “But Miss, they-”“It’s ok. I’ll defend my work. This is my sweat and blood. I don’t know how it ended up being Miss Williams’ work but I’m not changing my statement. I designed this work,” Lora said with an air of confidence. “Stop trying to act high and mighty!

    “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

    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
