Celeste Anderson Kingsley hid a smirk as cameras flashed before her taking pictures and videos of her. It was the myelodysplastic syndromes world awareness day and she volunteered to be interviewed as a parent whose son was suffering from the rare disease. The host glanced at her and remarked, “Mrs Kingsley, I must applaud you for doing this. I’m sure it’s not easy.” Celeste wiped a fake tear from the corner of her eyes and sniffed before saying, “It’s not easy to come out in the open and talk about this. However, today, I want to use my family’s story to encourage someone who’s going through the same situation.”The host nodded. She glanced down at her script and asked, “So, you mentioned your son has cancer and has only a few months left to live, which one among your two sons has this illness and how are you coping as a family?”Celeste glanced at the camera, the look on her face sad as she announced, “It’s with deep sadness that I announce that Ryan Kingsley, the current CEO of t

Later in the evening at the Kingsley mansion. Miles narrowed his eyes at Celeste as she walked into their room. It had been a long day of trying to convince the shareholders that the company wasn’t going to go bankrupt after the news of Ryan’s illness was exposed. Although he and Charles had a hard time, they still managed to convince the board for the time being. However, the stock price kept dropping with some of their partners pulling out of the deal, worrying about the future of the projects if the leader of the group wasn’t going to live long. “Why did you do that? Did you think Jason would become CEO if you exposed Ryan’s illness?” Miles questioned, anger flickering through his eyes. Celeste’s smile froze, “Miles, honey, what do you mean?”“Drop the act, Celeste,” Miles snapped. “Have you been pretending to be nice all this time? How dare you expose our family secret like that knowing what impact it would have on the company? How dare you use my son’s illness to get what yo

Doctor Steve paused, hesitating. He looked at Ryan and Lora before asking, “Should I tell you the news here or you want to hear it in private?”Lora and Ryan shared a look and when Lora gave him a small nod in acknowledgement, Ryan glanced at the doctor and said, “Like Dad said, we are family. You can say the news in front of everyone.”“What’s the good news, Doctor?” Charles asked. His lips suddenly curled into a grin. “Is it what I think it is?”All eyes were glued to the doctor as they waited for the news.Doctor Steve cleared his throat and announced, “Mrs Kingsley, you are pregnant. Congratulations!”Dead silence fell upon the place for a few seconds before Charles exclaimed, “Yes! Another great-grandchild! Well done, Ryan!”Ryan hugged Lora, his heart thundering in his chest as he stated, “Lora... this is wonderful news! I love you so much!”The rest of the family showed their excitement and congratulated the couple. When they were done, Ryan looked at Lora whose eyes were blurre

Ryan and Lora arrived at their mansion, excited to tell their children the news. “Mommy, Daddy, you’re back!” As usual, the twins rushed to their parents for a hug. “We have some good news to share with you,” Ryan said as he picked up Ella who wrapped her arms around his neck. “Really? What’s the good news?” Ella excitedly asked. “Are we going on a vacation?” Ryan chuckled as he held Ethan’s hand with his free hand and led him to the living room before settling on the couch with the twins flanking his sides. Lora followed and sat on the other side of Ethan. She reached over and booped Ella’s nose, saying, “No silly.”A thought occurred to Ryan and he looked down at the twins and asked, “Do you want to go on a vacation with Mommy and Daddy?”“Yes! We want to… you went the two of you last time. So this time, we should go as a family,” Ella replied and Ryan nodded. “No problem. We can go on a trip this weekend,” he promised. He didn’t know the future. But what he was sure of was the

##Flashback to weeks ago##Aiden didn’t want his brother to know that he was travelling back, so he didn’t use his family’s private jet. Instead, he boarded one of the airlines that was available that day. The seats in first class were decent, but not as good as the Davis family’s private jet. He sat comfortably in the reclining plush leather seat, absorbed in his handheld gaming console when suddenly, a huge bag struck him, jerking him forward. “What the–”Aiden turned and found a lady trying to wedge her oversized bag into the overhead compartment. Her long dark silky hair flowed beautifully on her back and she was dressed in a pair of blue jeans, a black blouse and black sneakers. He frowned when he noticed her wrangling with the bag but he didn’t have time to offer help since his game had just gotten good. Aiden returned his attention to his game, ignoring the lady entirely. Meanwhile, Diane grunted softly, pushing with all her might. ‘How come these compartments felt so smal

Jason lowered his eyes to hide his pain. He gulped, trying to swallow the lump that was stuck in his throat. Ever since he met Lora, he thought she was the one for him. He thought he could finally have someone by his side. Jason had lived a lonely life abroad. He could count on one hand the number of times his mother went to see him as a child. He was usually alone on his birthdays and had no one to celebrate special holidays with. It was like he was an orphan when both his parents were alive. Whenever he asked his mother when he could come home, she always told him it wasn't the right time. "Your father's other family won't be happy if you come now. Be good and stay where you are," she would say. In the end, Jason grew up alone. He thought he was used to being alone until he met Lora and her children. She made him realise that he wanted a family of his own. However, it seemed his dream to be with Lora would never come true. Seeing the way she stayed by Ryan's side despite his

“Daddy, are we there yet?” Ella asked, looking out the window at the tall trees surrounding them. It was days later and the family had gone on a family trip. They first travelled by air to an island and then, they got in a car and Ryan was driving them to a place where they would get on a boat to arrive at their destination. Ryan chuckled after Ella asked for the umpteenth time. He looked at her through the rearview mirror and said, “We will be there soon, Princess.”“Yay! I can’t wait!” Ella remarked and pointed at something outside the window, “Look, Ethan, I just saw a monkey!” “That’s not a monkey, silly. It’s a honey bear,” Ethan corrected his sister. Ella’s eyes widened. She pressed her face against the window and replied, “Really? It’s so cute” Ryan chuckled, glancing at Lora in the passenger seat. “It’s nice to see the kids so happy and carefree.”Lora smiled softly, reaching for Ryan’s hand and squeezing it before saying, “That’s because we are all together as a family.”

“Don’t worry, Daddy. I’ll always protect them,” Ethan promised. “That’s good…” Ryan replied, a proud smile on his face. They continued to fish and chat. Ethan kept trying to catch a fish but it was still a bit hard for the young boy. However, just like Ryan said, Ethan was patient enough to keep trying despite failing to catch any fish. Suddenly, an elderly man got on the dock with a bucket and a fishing rod. He looked at the father and son, saying, “I hope you didn’t finish all the fish in the river.” Ryan glanced at the man and chuckled. He smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, we’ve left plenty for you to catch.” “I see that you brought your family on a trip… I’m staying in the suite next to you,” the man said before setting up his rod and throwing it into the river. He sighed heavily and remarked, “I wasted my life searching for money and now, I’m alone in my old age. I have the money but no family to spend it with.” “You can still have a family,” Ethan said, looking at the old

Her Return, His Regret Chapter 180~ Date night (The end)
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
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 178~ Loved you forever
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
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 174~ Found
“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
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 173~ Suspect
“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
