Her Return, His Regret Chapter 165~ New year's eve
“What are your plans for the new year?” Ryan asked Lora on their way to the Kingsley mansion.Lora smiled and replied, “I would be lying if I said I have any plans. Of course, I would like to take Davis & Co. to greater heights and create a new line of designs, however, that’s not new. I’ve always had this plan.” “That’s true,” Ryan agreed. “Well, I hope the new year is filled with happiness. 20## was filled with so many ups and downs but I’m not complaining. It brought me back to you. I thought we would never be together again but this year, fate brought us together again and gave us more blessings than we could ask for,” Lora answered. Ryan smiled, happiness gleaming through his eyes. He replied, “This has been the best year of my life. I found out I was a father to two adorable children. I got to remarry the woman of my dreams and I knocked her up. What more can I ask for?” “So, no plans for next year?” Lora asked playfully. “Oh, I have lots. I want us to travel more and hang o

The doctor had followed the couple in and while she was making preps for the delivery, Lora could already feel the baby’s head about to come out of her. Her eyes widened. Why was it so fast? The first time she gave birth, she had been in labour for two days!She looked at her husband and exclaimed, “The baby is here! Mmm!”Ryan’s forehead was coated with beads of sweat. He glanced at the doctor and realised that she would take a few more seconds to reach Lora, so he acted fast. He stood in front of Lora, unaware of what he should do. Recalling some TV shows that he had watched, he placed his hands near Lora’s entrance and just as the clock struck midnight and fireworks exploded in the sky, a little baby dropped on Ryan’s hands. The doctor quickly came forward and cut the cord and the baby released a sharp, piercing scream. Ryan froze, his heart racing as he stared down at the tiny, wriggling little human in his hands. He was staring at the world's most beautiful creature. “It’s… It

“Sir, your parents are back in the city,” Adan Nicholson’s assistant, Cheryl James, reported. “That’s good,” Adan replied lazily. "Next time, you don't have to report that to me."It was a few weeks after the new year and he had a lot of work to do. He was currently going through some new proposals and didn’t want to be bothered. “Sir, they’ve reserved a restaurant and have demanded that you meet them for lunch,” Cheryl gingerly reported. Adan frowned, pinching the bridge of his nose. He asked, “Where’s Reuben? He’s more competent than you. Why didn’t you tell them to call me and ask if I’m free?” Cheryl clenched her hands into fists. Reuben was Adan’s other personal assistant but he was currently on a business trip. She didn’t like being compared to him since it could mean she could lose her job. Cheryl never wanted to be far away from Adan since she had a secret crush on him. “They called you so many times but you didn’t answer their calls, sir,” Cheryl responded patiently. Ada

Bianca Jones was shooting an Ad at the Davis & Co. Lora, as Miss L, had released a new collection and hired Bianca as her brand ambassador.It was during the shoot when Bianca’s phone kept ringing. One of the staff took the phone to her and she was forced to answer when she saw who was calling. “What is it, Mom?” Bianca asked. “12 pm at Ocean’s Basket. Don’t be late,” Bianca’s mother, Evelyn Jones, said. Bianca frowned, saying, “Mom, I’m busy-”“I’m sorry but you have to be there. I always let you do what you want. But this involves the company. Even if you don’t want to take over, you can help out in a way,” Evelyn said on the phone. “Be punctual.” Bianca rolled her eyes. She knew what her mother was up to. What other help can she offer other than marrying a very rich man who can partner with the Jones Group?However, Bianca wasn’t interested in marrying a man who she didn’t love. The only reason she was going was to give her parents face. After that, she was going to reject th

“Speak. Why did you call me out? You know I’m on paternity leave right now,“ Ryan Kingsley said to his friend as they sat in a private room at a club. Adan had called him over so they could have a drink. Ryan would have refused so he could stay with his family but after hearing the tone of Adan’s voice, he agreed to meet him to find out what was going on. Since Adan had been there for him when he had issues, Ryan wanted to return the favour. Adan took a sip of his whiskey before looking at his friend. He replied, “I wanted to vent and you’re the only one I have. My mind is a mess right now.” Ryan leaned back in his seat and asked, “Is this about your arranged marriage to Bianca?” Adan’s eyes rounded at Ryan. “You already know?” Before Ryan could reply, Adan shook his head and added, “Why am I even surprised? Bianca must have already called her bestie to fill her in on the news. By tomorrow, the whole country will know.” Looking at Ryan, he remarked, “You need to congratulate me,

Adan had been called for an earlier meeting in the morning by the board. In the conference room, one of the shareholders glanced at him and remarked, “The news of your marriage alliance with the Jones Group has been announced. Well done, Mr Nicholson. This is a great opportunity for our company to thrive.” Adan shook his head. He scoffed and replied, “So, you want to make money off my marriage?” The shareholders cleared their throats, looking uncomfortable. “No, that’s not the case. We just feel like this collaboration will bring our company to greater heights. Perhaps we can be at par with the Kingsley Group soon,” another shareholder responded. “That’s right. Congratulations on your marriage, Mr Nicholson. I’ll surely gift you a house on your wedding day,” the first shareholder stated. Adan sighed internally. No one was really happy for him. They just cared about the profits that the partnership would make them. He didn't have time for their fake wishes and quickly changed the

Bianca froze when she heard the familiar voice, her heart skipping a beat. She turned and saw Adan standing a few steps away, his eyes glaring at the hand that was holding onto hers. “Adan? What are you doing here?” Bianca asked, confusion flitting through her. Adan ignored her and locked his eyes on Atlas. Through gritted teeth, he said, “Didn’t you hear me? Hands off.” Atlas frowned. He hesitated before letting go of Bianca’s hand reluctantly. He didn’t want to but his family wasn’t as powerful as the Nicholson family. For now, he had to step back so as not to offend Adan. However, he looked at him and remarked, “Adan, no offence but you don’t even love her, why do you want to marry her?” The air around them turned cold, the dim lighting in the hallway intensifying the tension in the atmosphere. Adan’s lips curled into a menacing smirk. He sneered, “Whether I love her or not is none of your business. The fact is that she belongs to me… she’s my future wife.”Bianca rolled her

When Bianca left for the restroom, Adan received a call from a strange number. At first, he wanted to ignore the call, but then he remembered that he was expecting a call. His company was bidding for a construction tender for the biggest shopping mall building project in the Country. So, he excused himself and went outside where it was quiet. “Hello, Adan Nicholson speaking,” he answered in his usual professional voice. Sobbing sounds echoed through the phone speaker, making Adan furrow his eyebrows. “Hello? Who’s this?” He questioned. “Adan… it’s me,” a tearful female voice echoed through the speakers. “It’s you?” Adan replied, frowning. “You who?” “Adan… don’t you remember me? It’s me…” the voice replied, breaking into sobs again. “I don’t know anyone called me,” Adan remarked and cut the call before going to his call history and blocking the number. He spent a few minutes outside, simply staring up at the dark sky, watching the twinkling stars light up the city. When he r

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
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 177~ An old flame
“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
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 176~ Feelings
"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. "
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 175~ First fight
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
