A few days later at Davis & Co. “Miss Davis, Mr Kingsley is here to see you,” Hannah reported through the intercom. Lora frowned. ‘Ryan is here? What does he want now?’ “Has he told you what he wants?” Lora asked. She wasn’t in the mood to entertain Ryan. “He said it’s about the upcoming jewelry launch party,” Hannah reported. Lora bit her lower lip. She replied, “Let him through.” Since she had promised to help with the project, she couldn’t send Ryan back if he was here to talk about work. A few minutes later, Ryan walked into Lora’s office and took a seat opposite her. He glanced at Lora and his heart skipped a beat. He always felt she looked attractive when working. She wore a pastel pink feminine suit with her dark brown hair was left to flow on one side of her shoulder. “How can I help you, Mr Kingsley?” Lora asked, very aware of Ryan’s heated gaze on her. Why was he looking at her like that?Ryan blinked to clear his head. He said, “I’ve been preparing the launch party

Days came and went and soon, it was the day before the launch party. “Are you ready for tomorrow?” Jason asked Lora on the phone. As per tradition, Jason had called Lora before her bedtime. Lora bit her lower lip before replying, “I am kind of nervous.” “Really? I never expected you to be nervous when everyone praises your work,” Jason remarked. Lora let out a sigh and said, “It’s like that with artists. We always doubt ourselves no matter how good one is… there’s always that anxiousness about whether people will like our work or not. I have confidence in my work, but I can’t help but be anxious about everyone’s reaction to it. Of course, I know not everyone would be a fan of my work and that’s understandable. We all have different tastes but that doesn’t mean negative comments don’t get to me.” “You’re only human, my love,” Jason replied. "Your skills are exceptional. You don't have to worry." “Yes but I just can’t help but be nervous,” Lora murmured. “Well, for me, I can’t wa

Time flew by in the blink of an eye and the night of the launch party finally arrived. The hall at one of the biggest hotels in the city was decorated in golds and dark greens. Chandeliers with dangling crystals hang from the ceiling, casting a mesmerising golden glow over the place. Lora smiled at the man beside her and hooked her arm to his when they arrived at the venue. The moment the two of them stepped through the double golden doors, silence fell over the place and all eyes turned towards them. “I think Miss L just made a grand entrance,” Jason remarked as he led Lora inside. Almost everyone was looking at Lora in awe. She looked so breath-taking in the one-shoulder sapphire gown she wore that fit her like a glove. It had a thigh-high split with a corset bodice, shaping her figure. Her hair was styled in a slick low bun, her face glowing with light makeup and a daring cherry red lipstick. People couldn’t help but greet and compliment Lora about her work. “Miss L, I’m so

Lora tried to hide her card when she saw the number but someone had already seen it. “We have a winner here! Miss L is the winner!” One of the ladies shouted excitedly. All eyes, including Ryan’s, turned to look at Lora, putting her in the spotlight. The host smiled and said, “Miss Davis, you have to dance with Mr Kingsley since he picked your number.” Ryan got down the stage and approached Lora. When he reached her, he held out his hand and remarked, “I may have picked your number but since I’m a gentleman, I’ll ask you to dance. May I have this dance, Miss Davis?” Gasps echoed around the place as women fanned themselves. Ryan looked so hot as he asked Lora to dance. “Congratulations on winning, Miss Davis. You’re so lucky!” Someone said. Lora frowned internally. Lucky? More like cursed. Why would Ryan pick her number out of all the ladies who were in the hall?She looked up at Ryan and her heart skipped a beat. She had to admit he looked handsome. He was handsome… However, th

Lora blinked, looking into Ryan’s eyes.Did he know something? Could Ivy have told him the truth?‘No… Ivy wouldn’t tell Ryan about what she discovered about me,’ Lora mused. Before Lora could react or respond, Ryan let go of her before walking up the stage. He took the microphone from the host and announced, “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.” At the sound of Ryan’s voice, the crowd fell silent and turned to glance at him on the stage. Ryan smiled and said, “Thank you all for coming… LAN’s Luxurious Jewelry is special to me and I would love to see it grow and become successful.” He searched for Lora in the crowd and when his eyes found her, he smiled and added, “It’s now time for the big reveal… our production team was able to bring Miss L’s vision into reality and I hope they did justice to her beautiful designs.”“Now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Miss L’s collection!”While everyone was wondering when they would brin

Lora got down the stage, her smile reaching her eyes as everyone complimented her work. Indeed of all the things that had happened to her, this was her proudest moment. Although she had failed in love, she had succeeded in being a mother and nurturing her talent. Seeing everyone so happy and willing to spend millions of dollars because of her work made her chest fill with pride. As the crowd spread out to mingle and eat, Lora looked for her best friend who just came to join them in the hall. When their eyes met, Bianca squealed and rushed to her friend before giving her a hug. “You look gorgeous, my friend! This dress looks good on you.” Lora sighed and replied, “I thought I looked good too until I knew where the dress came from.” Bianca’s eyes widened and Lora pulled her to the side where it was quieter. “Are you saying Jason got you the dress?” Bianca asked. "That's so romantic!"“No… I thought It was Jason but turns out it was Ryan,” Lora replied, her eyebrows creasing. Bianc

Meanwhile, Ryan narrowed his eyes at the man who was smiling at Lora and his sister. He beckoned his assistant over and asked, “What is that man doing here? Who invited him?” Lawrence glanced at where Ryan was pointing. He smiled and replied, “That’s Aiden Davis, the CEO of Protech Company Limited. You told me to invite all CEO’s, Sir.” 'Aiden Davis?'Ryan asked in his mind and then it hit him… Jack Davis had a younger brother who was very young. It seemed he had mistakenly gotten jealous for nothing…. Aiden was Lora’s uncle.He let out a sigh of relief before someone came over to chat with him about business. However, the whole time that he was engaged in a conversation, he couldn't keep his eyes off Lora. There was just something about her that drew him in like a moth is drawn to a flame. Lora looked so beautiful in the sapphire dress... She looked like a goddess who had no job being on this dirty earth. At the same time, Celeste and her daughter, Isabella sat at one of the round

Earlier, Jason watched Lora go upstairs, his eyebrows creasing in deep thought. He was quite sure Ryan had given Lora the dress she was wearing… this was because a famous fashion designer had auctioned off one of her best designs a few days back and a mysterious businessman had bought it at a very high price. Jason had been interested in the dress and wanted to get it for Lora, however, the mysterious businessman kept bidding higher than him and he ended up giving up the dress. After all, he thought it wasn’t worth it to pay two million dollars for a mere dress. To his shock, Lora ended up wearing the dress and knowing her, there was no way she would spend so much money to buy a dress. It could only be Ryan… Jealousy flared through Jason and he clenched his hand around the steering wheel, turning his knuckles white. Why would Ryan spend such an amount on Lora when they had just met? He could have bought that dress for his fiancee…Jason had noticed that Ryan paid too much attent

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. "

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

“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
