Her Return, His Regret Chapter 132~ His secret
Lora’s eyes rounded at Ryan, her heart sinking to her feet. “W-what do you mean by that?” She asked in a shaky voice. “Are you sick?” Ryan gulped, a guilty look crossing his face as he answered, “Unfortunately, yes, I am. Before I knew you were alive, I was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome. It’s a rare blood disorder- it’s a disease that’s eating away at my ability to produce healthy blood cells-”“Wait,” Lora interrupted, her face turning pale. “Are you saying you’ve been sick all this while and you didn’t think of telling me?” “I…” Ryan trailed, not knowing what to say. “I didn’t want to burden you with my problems, Lora. I honestly thought I was going to get cured. We had found a donor for the stem cells. I would have told you before doing the transplant but… I received a call from my doctor two days ago that the donor was missing.” ##Flashback to two days ago.##Ryan sat in the oncologist, Doctor Steve’s office, feeling dejected after hearing the news of the missing dono

Lora froze, her hands which Ryan was holding trembling in his hold. The restaurant was warm but the warmth did nothing to defrost the icy reality that had just been laid bare. A chill ran down her spine, making her blood run cold. Was Ryan really dying?She stared at him, her lips parting but no words came out of her mouth. Her mind was spinning with several thoughts. A thousand emotions rushed into her at once- anger and devastation.“Lora-”“Ryan… how could you think like that?” She managed to whisper although her voice was shaking. “Why would you throw away your life like it was nothing?” “Back then, my life was nothing without you in it,” Ryan admitted. “Everything felt meaningless. I was consumed by guilt and regret. I had to make it right somehow. Although my death couldn’t bring you back, I knew I would join you and make it up to you in the afterlife.” “Make it up to me?” Lora repeated, her voice rising and raw with emotion. “Did you ever sit to think if I would have wante

“Doctor Steve, how’s my husband?” Lora asked anxiously, her eyes falling on Ryan who was lying on the bed in the VIP ward. “Don’t worry, Mrs Kingsley. He’s alright, he just had a brief fainting episode since he hasn’t had enough rest in the last forty-eight hours,” Doctor Steve replied. “You did well to bring him here though… it could have been serious.” Relief washed over Lora at the doctor’s words and she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. When Ryan lost consciousness in the restaurant, Lora called her security team for help to take him to the hospital. The moment they arrived, he was rushed to the ER and Lawrence informed Doctor Steve who came over to attend to Ryan. After a series of tests, Ryan was transferred to a VIP ward to be monitored. “Thank you so much for the quick response, Doctor,” Lora replied. “But, why isn’t he waking up if he’s ok?” “That’s because he’s sleeping,” the doctor said. “What?” Lora’s eyes widened. She asked, “Are you sure, Doctor? H

“Congratulations, you're pregnant!” Larisa seemed a little absent-minded tonight... all she could think about was what the doctor had said to her that afternoon. "What are you thinking about?” Ryan asked as he unbuttoned his shirt. Looking at Ryan's sexy chest, Larisa blushed. They had been married for three years, but every time she saw Ryan's nakedness, Larisa couldn’t help but be shy. Without waiting for Larisa's answer, Ryan turned and went to take a shower. When she heard the shower go on, Larisa opened the drawer and pulled out a pregnancy test report.In the afternoon, she had gone to the hospital because she was unwell. She thought it was an ordinary stomach ache, but the doctor told her that she was pregnant. Finally, after three years of trying, she was finally going to have a baby!She beamed and held the report to her chest as she waited for her husband to finish his shower.They had been married for three years, however, their marriage remained a secret to the outsi

In the morning, Larisa got up and went to the company on time although she didn't sleep all night."Have you seen the news? Ivy Williams has returned!" Tatiana Jenkins, one of the employees at the Kingsley group, remarked.She was talking to her friend while they waited to get into the elevator. Behind them, Larisa kept quiet as they continued to talk about her as though she was invisible.“You mean that jewelry designer?" The other colleague, Judy Brooks, asked."Yeah, she's not just an ordinary jewelry designer, she's also the only girlfriend our boss has ever admitted to dating in public. I heard she's his first love.""Wow, but isn't it rumored that our boss and Larisa have some-?"“Of course, not! She was just a mistress!” “Haha! What a failure. She thought sleeping her way to the top would make the boss fall in love with her. Now that the woman that he loves has returned, I’m sure she’s not only going to lose her position as the mistress, she’s also going to lose her job.”Lari

“What the hell is going on?” Ryan asked Ivy after the doctor attended to her. Guilt crept into him as he looked at the bandage on her forehead. “I’m sorry. I don’t know why Larisa has changed. She used to be so kind.” When he went to the parking lot, he thought he saw Larisa pulling Ivy out of the wheelchair. He got so nervous that Ivy would get hurt. After all, she hurt her legs because of him. He wouldn’t want her to get hurt because his wife got jealous. “I hope you can forgive her. She usually doesn’t get worked up,” Ryan added. They were in a VIP hospital room with Ivy lying on the small hospital bed since they had left her wheelchair. Ivy smiled and grabbed Ryan’s hand, saying, “Hey, don’t get it wrong. This is not Larisa’s fault. I fell on my own… it seems my wheelchair has some problems.” Ryan’s eyes widened slightly. He asked, “Are you saying Larisa didn’t push you?”Ivy shook her head, biting her lower lip. She replied, “No, she didn’t push me. Please don’t blame her f

A divorce?Ryan couldn’t believe his ears. That wasn’t a word he was expecting to hear coming out of Larisa’s mouth. He took a look at the documents in his hands and sure enough, they were divorce papers and Larisa’s resignation letter. He glared at Larisa and questioned, “Are you throwing a tantrum because of what happened earlier today? Is that why you’re giving me these documents?”Larisa shook her head and replied, “It’s not that. I’ve been wanting to have a divorce for a long time now. Now that Ivy is back, you can freely be with the woman you love.”Ryan scoffed. He tore the documents in half, making Larisa gasp. “Why did you do that? You don’t love me, why won’t you divorce me?” She yelled. There was a desperation in her voice that even she was aware of. Her heart was racing and aching at the same time.This was because, in their three years of marriage, Ryan never loved her. He had never opened up to her or showed her any affection.Larisa was madly in love with him and t

Larisa woke up and found herself tied to a chair. It looked like she was in an abandoned warehouse. She recalled having been hit by a sharp object before she lost consciousness. Could she have been kidnapped?Immediately, fear crept into her. She yelled, “Where am I? Help! Help me!”“Larisa, calm down. Shouting won’t help… trust me, I tried,” A familiar voice reached Larisa’s ears. She turned her head to the right and found Ivy tied to a chair just like her. Her eyes widened in horror. “What’s going on here? Why have we both been kidnapped?” Larisa asked, her heart racing wildly in her chest. In her heart, she was worried about the safety of the baby she was carrying in her womb. If anything bad happened to her, she could lose her child. “Good question,” a man’s voice echoed in the warehouse. Larisa turned to the source of the voice and her heart raced when she saw four thugs approaching them. One of the thugs who looked like the leader stepped forward. He had a bald head and

“Uncle, help me look for my husband,” Lora asked Aiden Davis when she walked into his office. Aiden arched an eyebrow. He hadn’t been expecting his niece, but seeing her look so anxious made him worried. “Don’t tell me he’s already cheating on you,” he said. “No, Uncle… Ryan would never,” Lora stated, pacing back and forth in the office. "I haven't seen him in two days. I have a bad feeling about this. He’s avoiding me and I feel like something serious has happened. I need to find him and talk to him.” “Perhaps he just wants time to sort himself out…” Aiden remarked. “He will come to you when he’s ready-”“And when would that be? What if I go crazy from being anxious and worried? I need to talk to him and find out what the problem is… he’s my partner,” Lora remarked, her stomach twisting and turning. “How can I ignore my husband when he's not acting like himself?” Just like the other night, Ryan returned home very late the previous night. He slept next to Lora and left before she
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 130~ Avoiding her
“Mommy, why is Daddy not home yet?” Ella asked as they had dinner. “I thought we would eat together now that we are a complete family.” They had been waiting for Ryan for close to an hour but he hadn’t shown up, so they proceeded to eat without him. Lora pursed her lips, looking at her watch. Ryan had promised to always be home for dinner, so she was wondering where he was. She had tried to call him but her calls went unanswered. ‘Is he ok?’ Lora asked herself, worry creeping into her. However, she didn’t show it on her face and smiled at the kids before saying, “I heard there was an emergency meeting earlier today… your father is caught up with work. He will be here soon.” “Ella, Daddy runs a big company, so he’s a busy man. Don’t worry, he will join us for dinner tomorrow,” Ethan told Ella. Ella nodded and smiled, “Ok… I can wait till tomorrow.”After dinner, Lora tried to call Ryan again, however, her call was redirected to voicemail. She furrowed her eyebrows, wondering wha
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 129~ Bad news
##Flashback to two weeks earlier##After leaving Ryan and Lora's wedding, Miles, Celeste, Isabella and Jason returned to the Kingsley mansion. From there, they sat down and Miles took time to learn more about his son. "I'm really sorry you had to grow up on your own. I don't know why your mother acted on her own," Miles said, glancing at Celeste before turning to look at Jason. "I would never abandon my children."He was heartbroken to find out about his other son who was left to grow up away from family. His chest felt heavy and he couldn't shake away the guilt that was creeping into him. Celeste chipped in, "Miles, I told you why I kept him a secret. I wasn't really welcomed by your father and your two children hated me. They never warmed up to me no matter what I did. Imagine if I had a son too, wouldn't his life have been a living hell?" Miles sighed as he thought about it. Indeed, back then, Charles was so annoyed about his decision to marry Celeste that he accused her of bein
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 128~ Ryan vs Jason
When Ryan arrived at work, his assistant, Lawrence Scott, came to him and reported, “Sir, there’s an emergency meeting. The shareholders were summoned and they are waiting for you.”Ryan furrowed his eyebrows as he asked, “What’s the meeting about?”“I’m not sure… no one is saying anything,” Lawrence replied. Ryan wondered why the shareholders were suddenly creating trouble after being quiet for many years. It had been a while since they called for an emergency meeting. Usually, this occurs when some of the members are unhappy about something. Unease crept into Ryan and settled in his stomach. He had a bad feeling about this but he walked confidently to the conference room. However, he stilled when he saw someone he wasn’t expecting to see there. Jason. His half-brother. Jason Anderson Kingsley was seated at the far end of the long mahogany table, looking smug. He was dressed in a tailored navy suit, leaning back in his chair with a smirk playing on his lips. The man looked like
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 127~ Warm welcome
“Wake up, Mrs Kingsley. We are home,” Ryan said gently, kissing the crown of Lora’s head while she rested her head on his shoulder.The private jet had just landed at the airport in Moonstone City, signalling the end of Ryan and Lora’s honeymoon. They had been away for a good two weeks, travelling from one island to another, creating unforgettable memories. Lora stirred in her sleep before stretching as she replied, “Mmmmm, that was quick. I wanted to sleep some more.” “You can sleep when we get home, baby,” Ryan remarked before helping Lora unbuckle her seatbelt. “Yeah… it feels good to be back home but I’ll miss the heaven we’ve just left,” Lora murmured with a pout. The past two weeks had been magical. Ryan and Lora had fun, exploring, watching sunrises and sunsets, moonlit swims or just having lazy afternoons in secluded villas. It was like they were the only ones who existed in the world… it felt good to spend time together and they made lots and lots of love. But most impor
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 126~ Never been this happy
“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
