Thank you for reading.
“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
“Congratulations Miss Williams on your engagement!” As soon as Ivy Williams arrived at the company, she was showered with blessings from her colleagues. As it turned out, Ryan had fulfilled his promise and announced that they would be having an engagement party in a few weeks. Social media had gone wild with such news. After several years, the city’s most eligible bachelor had finally decided to settle down with the love of his life. Ivy was over the moon! ‘I knew Ryan still had me in his heart,’ she mused as she smiled at the colleagues. “Thank you so much. I told Ryan to wait a bit but he seems eager to make me his wife,” she remarked shyly. “Of course he’s eager! You’re so beautiful, Miss Williams. I’m sure the boss loves you very much!” One of the colleagues said. “That’s right! We kept wondering when he would announce your relationship officially. We are so happy for you.” “Only an elegant lady like Miss Williams deserves the boss.” Ivy smirked at the praises she was re
“As expected from the genius designer, Ivy Williams. Her design is so unique and elegant.”“Ivy Williams’ come back is so powerful! Wow! I need jewelry with her design ASAP!”Ivy smirked as she read the comments on the social media pages. She was once again in the headlines of jewelry news after so many years, this made her proud.Ryan’s jewelry company launched a few pieces of jewelry using the new design created by Ivy Williams. As soon as the jewelry was displayed for sale, they were sold out in minutes. A lot of customers were interested in the unique jewelry design and even made special orders to have more of the jewelry made.The news was all over social media. Ivy Williams was once again making headlines because of her exceptional designing skills.Due to the good news, Ryan was in a good mood. Although it came as a surprise since Ivy didn’t show him the design before submitting it to the production team, the response was so good that he didn’t mind. “I didn’t know you had fi
“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
