“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 fin
“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! This is Miss Williams’ design! See for yourself!” One of the employees, Bella Smith, said. Bella wanted to get
[Lora Davis, new CEO of Davis & Co. in a plagiarism scandal.][Ivy Williams and Lora Davis to compete in a week. Who will emerge as the real GOAT?][Lora Davis steals Ivy Williams' design idea.]The news about Lora’s plagiarism spread through the city like a wild forest fire and the internet was blowing up with headlines about the matter. Lora was passing through the main office when she heard the employees talking about the news. “This scandal won’t be good for our company. I’ve already noticed that the stocks are dropping,” someone remarked. “Yeah… I can’t believe they both came up with the same design. One of them is definitely lying.” “Who do you think will win the competition? Miss Lora seemed confident in the meeting room.” “Of course, it’s Miss Williams. We all know Miss Williams is a famous designer but Miss Davis is a nobody who got rich overnight after her parents rescued her from poverty. There’s no way she would win,” Bella Smith uttered. “I don’t think it’s right for
“Miss Davis is so popular,” Lawrence remarked as he waited for Ryan to sign the documents he had brought for him. “I thought she would be depressed about the scandal but it turns out she has a lot of people who have her back."Ryan’s hand that was signing paused when he heard that. He glanced at his assistant and asked, “What do you mean?”“Well, not only do her employees support her, but also, there’s a man who brought her flowers just now. They seemed pretty close-”“It seems you have a lot of time on your hands since you had time to see Miss Davis get flowers. Do you want me to give you more work?” Ryan said through gritted teeth. Hearing that a man brought flowers for Lora made him angry for some reason. He clenched his hands into fists and a flash of anger flickered through his eyes. Lawrence was taken aback by Ryan’s reaction. He cleared his throat and replied, “I have a lot on my plate already, Sir.” 'What did I do to make him so angry?' Lawrence asked in his mind. He had not
Lora had just pulled an all-nighter when her phone rang early in the morning. When she saw who was calling, her eyes lit up as she picked up the call, “Uncle!” “Good morning, Lora, I came back last night,” the man said on the phone. “That’s great, Uncle! Are you here for good or…?” Lora asked. The man chuckled on the phone. He answered, “Let’s talk in person. How about I treat my dear niece to lunch today?” Lora sighed. She asked, “Uncle, do you still not want to go home? We can have lunch at home. Dad misses you a lot.” There was a pause on the other side of the phone before a response came. “I miss my brother too but I’ll be nagged the moment I step foot there… you know I gave up the family jewelry business and your father wasn’t happy about it. So, for now, let’s just say I’m scared of his wrath… save your dear uncle, ok?” Lora laughed in amusement. She nodded even though he couldn’t see her through the phone before saying, “Ok, I’ll meet you in the afternoon for lunch, Uncle.
Days came and went… Finally, the deadline for the competition had arrived and everyone was looking forward to seeing the new designs of the two women. In the last week, the competition between the famous designer and the daughter of two famous designers was all that was being talked about in the entertainment and business news, so everyone wanted to know the outcome. That morning, when Lora arrived at the company, she bumped into Ivy Williams. She rolled her eyes as she thought, 'Just my luck to meet this troublesome woman as soon as I get to work.'Ivy didn't miss an opportunity to provoke Lora. She stopped her wheelchair in Lora's way and said in a taunting voice, “Miss Davis, I’ll give you a chance to forfeit the match before we go to the conference room. It would be embarrassing if you made a fool of yourself by copying my design and showing it to everybody once again."“Why are you so anxious on my behalf, Miss Williams? Don’t worry, I’m very confident in my work,” Lora respond
Lora’s laughter resonated around the conference room, making the employees stare at her as though she had grown an extra head. Was she pretending to have lost her mind to avoid the repercussions of her actions? They couldn't help but wonder. Ryan frowned and asked again, “Miss Davis?” The room fell silent as they waited for Lora’s response, still confused by her reaction. Why would she laugh happily in such a dire situation?Lora calmly stepped forward, her eyes gleaming with confidence. She smiled at everyone and said, “Miss Williams presented her design and now it's my turn. This was a competition and I have a right to present my design too before y’all jump to conclusions.” She gestured to Hannah, who went to the front of the room to help Lora display her work. Once the work was revealed, gasps echoed around the room. Their eyes grew and almost popped out of their sockets as they stared at Lora’s design. The design was so beautiful that it left everything’s mouth gaping in sh
“Miss L? The mysterious world-renowned designer?” Ryan furrowed his eyebrows and asked, his voice barely hiding his disbelief. The tension in the room was so thick that one could cut through it with a knife. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Lora, awaiting her response. At the same time, Lora was calm, her face devoid of any emotions. No one could tell what she was thinking. Seeing Ryan glance at Lora with so much interest in his eyes, Ivy gritted her teeth and clutched the arms of her wheelchair tightly, her heart racing. Something told her she wouldn’t like the outcome of this meeting. Sure enough, Lora took in a deep breath and finally admitted, “Yes. I am Miss L.” Gasps, followed by whispers erupted in the room among the employees. Others had dropped their jaws to the floor and their eyes widened in shock. Who knew that the woman they had accused of plagiarising was the mysterious world-famous designer whose work had taken the fashion world by storm? “What?” Ryan stared at Lora
Lora was dressed in a black and white pencil dress that day, so it was easy for Ryan to have access to her core. When he slid his hand under her dress and up her thigh, Lora trembled as tingles coursed through her. She bit her lower lip and involuntarily clamped her legs shut, trapping Ryan’s naughty hand between her thighs. “Don’t hide from me,” Ryan said in a low, husky voice before slipping his hand out and carrying Lora bridal style. He placed her on a reclining leather couch and got down on his knees, settling between her legs. Lora blushed when Ryan slid his hands under her dress and began to take off her panties. As he did this, Ryan glanced up at Lora, smirking when he saw her blushing. “C-Can we turn off the lights?” Lora requested, her heart pounding hard in her chest. Touching her core was one thing but having Ryan’s face on it was another. She was so nervous. Ryan let out a low chuckle just as he slid down Lora’s panties completely. “I want to see all of you, bab
“A movie date?” Lora asked when she looked at the theater in front of them. “Yes… it’s during the week and it’s not crowded, so we can watch a movie. I would have wanted to book the whole place but I thought you would love to have a full experience,” Ryan replied, smiling. Lora glanced at him and said, “Since when are you into movies? You used to say they bore you.”Ryan chuckled awkwardly and replied, “I’m still not into movies but for you, I can watch a thousand movies if it means it would make you happy.” Lora smiled faintly. She recalled how she used to arrange for movie date nights, however, Ryan wasn’t into that in the past. In fact, they never went on dates or hang out together. However, it was different this time. Ryan was making the effort and she appreciated it. “So, what are we watching?” Lora asked as they walked towards the counter to stand in line just like everyone else. Ryan glanced at the screen and said, “Well, I don’t know what you like. We can watch a romantic
“What? Ryan told you to be ready to get eaten?” Bianca exclaimed and Lora covered her mouth with her palm, looking around to make sure no one had heard her. “Sshh, you don’t have to announce it to the whole world,” Lora replied, her cheeks flushing pink. It was lunchtime and Lora met her best friend, Bianca Jones, for lunch and told her about Ryan’s words. Bianca whistled and replied, “You’re so lucky, my friend.”“Why? Because I’m going on a date?” Lora asked, her eyebrows creasing. “No, silly,” Bianca rolled her eyes. “Do you know what he means by, be ready to get eaten?"When Lora shook her head, Bianca added, "It means he’s going to eat you down there.” Lora gasped, her eyes widening. An image flashed through her mind and her face flushed again. Looking at her friend, she asked, “What? Why would he do that?” “It’s part of lovemaking, my friend,” Bianca said. She leaned over and whispered, “We need to visit a spa before lunch hour ends to... you know… make sure it’s smooth and
"Diane Kingsley? Is she Ryan Kingsley’s sister? Did she just call Miss Davis her sister-in-law?" Someone whispered. "I did hear of the scandal that Ryan was once married to Miss Davis. Have they made up?" "Does that mean the Kingsley group will be in alliance with the Davis & Co. Company? This is good for us!""Wait!" Craig yelled. "This isn't the matter we are here to discuss. Miss Davis ruined the company’s reputation and she has to go to prevent the VIP client from suing us.""Why would I sue my sister-in-law's company? Are you crazy, old man?" Diane said. She then turned to look at Lora before whispering, "Ryan told me you made up. Congrats! I'm so happy to see you two together again." Lora smiled and blushed. "I see he couldn't wait to tell the world, huh?" "He's so happy, you have no idea," Diane whispered before turning her gaze to the rest of the room. "I came here today, not to watch my sister-in-law get bullied, but to deal with the bastard who stole my customised design
“I second that. Lewis Hendrix would lead the company better.”“There’s been one issue after another ever since Miss Davis took over the position. I think it’s sufficient to say that she’s failed to run the company.” “That’s right. We don’t have funds to use on lawsuits. Who’s going to fix this mess? Our reputation will go down the drain.” The shareholders kept airing their views after Craig’s statement. Seated on one of the chairs around the long table, Lewis had a victorious smirk on his face as he watched the scene unfold. It was exactly as he had planned. This time, not even Jack Davis would be able to stop his daughter from being fired. The company’s reputation was going to be destroyed once everything blew up and Lora would have no way out of this. Ruining the company's image was enough for the board members to fire Lora Davis without waiting for the chairman's decision. Secretly taking out his phone, Lewis sent out a message. When he received a response, he smirked before c
“A trial period?” Freya Davis asked with a raised eyebrow. Ryan nodded and replied, “Yes, Ma’am. I know nothing I say right now will make you change your mind about me. So, I’ll show you that I’ll make your daughter the happiest woman in the world.”“And you only need thirty days to do that?” Freya questioned. “What if you’re just pretending in that thirty days?” “I can never pretend with Lora… I love her. I may have realised too late that she was very important to me, but I’ll make it up to her for the rest of her life,” Ryan proclaimed. Freya sighed, her brows creasing. She looked at Ryan and studied him intently before her gaze softened ever so slightly.“I see,” she remarked. “Since you’re offering thirty days to prove that you’re worthy of my daughter, I’ll give you a chance.”Ryan’s eyes lit up but before he could respond, Freya added, “But… If you fail to make Lora happy or if you hurt her again, I want you to leave her alone forever and never bother her again.”Ryan gulped,
“I can’t wait to have you and our children home, baby. I hate having to drop you off,” Ryan said after they got out of the car when they arrived at the Davis mansion. He sighed and added, "Being a gentleman is hard." Ryan walked Lora to the patio of the mansion and coiled his arm around her waist, pulling her close.“I wish you stayed with me tonight,” he remarked in his sexy husky voice.Lora smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, looking up at him.“I know but... I have to tell Mom and Dad about our reconciliation first. Dad may have said that he won’t interfere but Mom won’t be so easy to convince,” she replied.Ryan sighed again before saying, “I know. I noticed her reluctance to accept me last time. But I’ll do my best to win her over... if it means I have to eat a hundred chillies-““Don’t even think about it, Mr Kingsley!” Lora scolded. “Try another way... not one that will put you in harm’s way.”“Are you worried about me?” Ryan asked, arching an eyebrow. “Of course I
Although Lora and Ryan had been married and living together for three years in the past, their love-making wasn’t that great due to the lack of love and affection in their relationship. So, Lora didn’t really have the chance to explore her sexuality. She was reserved and inexperienced. However, as Ryan used his fingers to pleasure her down there, she felt like her veins were about to explode from the intense electric currents sizzling through her. The feeling was foreign, yet it felt so good. All she could do was scream in ecstasy. Lost in the throes of pleasure, she forgot about her shyness and rode Ryan’s fingers like a pro… taking what she wanted like the Queen she was. It was like her body had a mind of its own, setting the pace for what felt good for her and Ryan read her so well, moving in sync with her body. Lora had no idea one could seek pleasure like this. Happy tingles coursed through her and she didn’t know where they began or where they ended. Every part of her felt
“Why do you keep looking at me like that?” Lora shyly asked, her face flushing pink. Ryan smirked before saying, “I just can’t believe how beautiful you are.” They were seated on a two-seater couch after their heartwarming reconciliation. Lora rolled her eyes. She remarked, “You don’t have to sweet talk me anymore… I’ve already agreed to give you a chance.” Ryan frowned. He wrapped his arm around Lora’s waist before pulling her close so that her back was resting on his chest. “Hey… your wounds-”“Sshh, the wounds are healing, I’m fine,” Ryan said. He wrapped his arms around Lora’s waist before placing his chin on her shoulder. “Just because I won the election, does it mean I have to stop campaigning?” “What?” Lora laughed. The sound of her laughter tickled Ryan’s heart. How long had he longed to hear that sound in his house?Lora pulled back to look at him over her shoulder and asked, “What kind of comparison is that?”“The most logical one,” Ryan replied, smirking. “I was campa
