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.
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 25~ The deadline
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
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 26~ The real thief
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
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 27~ Lora's secret
“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
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 28~ Missed calls
The next day, the tables had turned and the internet was buzzing with headlines about one Miss L. [Highly talented world-famous designer, Miss L’s identity revealed!][Lora Davis exposed as Miss L. Her designs do the talking.]The internet pages were going wild with comments as almost everyone had something to say about this scandal.“Oh my God! Lora Davis is Miss L? She’s my idol!”“No wonder she was so calm. She was the real deal. What the hell was Ivy Williams thinking?”“Miss L, we are so sorry for insulting you! You’re the best!” Meanwhile, Ivy Williams was now a subject of ridicule as the scandal blew out of proportion. The headlines about her were not friendly.[Ivy Williams: The plagiariser!][Ivy Williams lost her touch.]Those who once loved and supported Ivy were disappointed in her. They now questioned her integrity and turned the comment section on the social media pages into a battlefield of mocking comments. “Ivy Williams should be banned! She’s a thief!”“Ivy Willaim
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 29~ An explosion
Lora arrived at the Davis & Co. Jewelry Company, ready to forge ahead and grow the company that her dear father entrusted to her. She had just stepped out of her car when a familiar voice called out to her. “Lora…” Lora turned around and found Ryan looking at her with a wistful look on his face. She frowned and placed her car keys in her branded handbag. That morning, she wore a short white skirt and a statement-making jacket which were complemented by white pointed stiletto shoes. Her hair was pulled up into a neat ponytail and it accentuated her beautiful facial features. “Mr Kingsley, what are you doing at my company this early morning?” She asked. “I’ve been calling you several times but my calls went unanswered. Lora… I mean, Miss Davis, let’s talk,” Ryan remarked. “There’s nothing to talk about, Mr Kingsley. I thought I made it clear last time. Our partnership is over,” Lora replied coldly. She was determined to cut Ryan completely out of her life. The last few days had pr
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 30~ The truth is out
“Miss Davis, how could you ditch me after using me?” Ryan asked Lora when he followed her outside. She was waiting beside his car, trying to recover from her panic attack. When she heard Ryan’s question, she blushed. She crossed her arms and said, “I didn’t use you-”“Are you sure?” Ryan arched an eyebrow and stepped closer. He placed one hand on the car as he stared down at Lora, a side smirk crossing his lips. “Who was trembling in my arms just now?” “You-” Lora’s face was as red as a tomato. The moment when she clutched Ryan’s shirt tightly played in her mind and she had the urge to slap herself. “I didn’t ask you for help.” “Ungrateful, aren’t we?” Ryan let out a low chuckle. "I helped you because you looked like you were about to collapse. Shouldn't you thank me?" “I already thanked you, Mr Kingsley,” Lora said with an exasperated sigh. “Um… you did. But you ran away from me like I’m a disease,” Ryan remarked. "That's because there was no need to continue being in the wareh
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 31~ The confrontation
“Lawrence, take down the trending news right now,” Ryan ordered his assistant on the phone. He cut the call and drove to the Williams’ mansion. Although he had ordered the removal of the news, the damage had already been done. Anger that he could barely contain rushed through him.His heart clenched painfully, an ache that had become all too familiar every time he thought about his past. That night… he saw the warehouse explode before his eyes, enveloping Larisa and drowning her in a sea of fire. There was nothing left… No body, no bones… all that was left of his beloved wife were her ashes. She must have died resenting him, thinking he had abandoned her… Ryan blinked and a lone tear rolled down his cheek before he quickly wiped it away. He laughed at himself self-deprecatingly. He didn’t deserve to cry for her… not after he failed her. However, he wouldn’t let anyone drag her name through the mud. The least he could do was protect her memory. As he drove up the driveway leadin

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
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 103~ An action movie
“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
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 100~ The VIP client.
“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
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 97~ Do things right
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
