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

    Lora rushed to work, wanting to get ready for an important meeting with a client. However, when she stepped into the office building, she felt like her employees were looking at her funny. “Miss Davis,” Hannah rushed towards Lora with her tablet. “Have you checked the tabloids today? There’s news about you and Mr Kingsley.” Lora frowned and mused. ‘Why would there be news about me and Ryan?’She took the tablet from her assistant and went through the article. Sure enough, everyone was talking about Lora and Ryan. A picture of when Lora and Ryan were dancing was trending on the internet. Ryan held her close and she looked up into his eyes. From the angle that the photo was taken, it looked like she was looking at him lovingly. The two looked like a couple in that intimate position. Ryan's arms were wrapped around Lora's waist, his eyes never leaving her frame. It was like he was looking at the most beautiful thing in the world. Lora furrowed her eyebrows as she scrolled down to re

    “Sir, Miss Davis’ tech team are trying to take down the news,” Lawrence reported to Ryan. Ryan looked up from where he sat at his desk in his office. He asked, “How much did the news spread? Is it trending?” “The news about your possible affair with Miss Davis has gone viral. I think almost everyone has seen the news, sir,” Lawrence replied. Ryan smirked. That’s just what he wanted. He was the driving force behind the trending news this time, wanting people to talk about him and Lora. For some reason, he liked it when people said he and Lora were a good match. He wanted the news to keep spreading until all traces of Jason were removed. However, since Lora wanted to take down the news, Ryan was worried she would find out about his involvement and get angry. Looking at Lawrence, he instructed, “Take down the news. My plan has already worked.” Ryan didn’t like how Lora’s name was being constantly associated with Jason on the internet. However, now that no one was talking about them

    Charles slapped the entertainment magazine he was reading on the table in frustration. He glanced at the family's butler, Arnold Miller, and said, "So Ryan's engagement ceremony has been set to happen in two weeks. What is wrong with this boy?"Arnold chuckled, his wrinkles moving at the action. He was standing beside Charles in his study, ready to serve him at any moment. Looking at Charles, he replied, "What do you mean by boy, Sir? Ryan is a fully grown thirty-three-year-old man.""Exactly! He's thirty-three! But he acts like he just hit puberty," Charles scoffed, shaking his head. "I don't understand... he seemed more interested in the young lady of the Davis family, Lora Davis. I saw how he couldn't stop looking at her at the party... so what is this now? Why is he going through with the engagement to Ivy? I'm pretty sure he doesn't love her.""The young man must have his own reasons. Perhaps you should let him do what he wants? The last time you interfered and forced him to marry

    Charles Kingsley’s eyes rounded in shock. When he saw the convoy of cars in front of the office building, he thought Lora had returned and wanted to go and meet her. However, he ended up bumping into two adorable, squishy kids that made his old heart melt instantly. 'Am I dreaming?' He asked in his mind, his heart pounding hard in his chest. He had come to see Lora but he didn’t expect to see two children who looked like Ryan and Lora. What was going on?Could these kids be…?Charles' heart pounded so hard he could hear it in his ears. He took in a shuddering breath, his hands trembling as he tried to fathom what he could see with his own eyes. Just as Charles kept looking at the twins, the twins were staring at him curiously too. Ella whispered in her brother's ears, “Ethan, is this man our grandpa? He looks like Daddy and you.” Ethan’s eyebrows were furrowed in deep thought as he studied Charles’ face. Since they shared the same face, could he really be their Grandpa? Did it

"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.

    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

    “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

    After weeks of undergoing trial, Celeste, Ivy and Ivy’s parents sat in the courtroom, waiting for the judge to deliver the verdict. The courtroom was filled with thick tension as everyone waited to see what would become of the four criminals. Ryan glanced at Jason who sat next to him and asked in a low voice, “Are you sure you’re ok being here?” Jason sighed, sadness creeping into him as he replied, “I’m not ok but I need to be here. There’s nothing I can do since mom made her own decisions. I’ll respect whatever decision the judge makes.” Ryan nodded, feeling bad for Jason. It must have been tough for him to watch his mother being referred to as a criminal. However, it was what Celeste deserved for what she had done. He shared a look with Lora who was seated on his other side and she nodded at him, smiling in encouragement. She leaned in and whispered, “Today, we will get rid of the bad guys. Once they are locked up, we will be free from schemes and threats.” Ryan smiled, squeez

    “Are you ok? Is it ok for you to kneel like that?” Ryan asked his wife who was kneeling in between his legs with her huge belly while he sat on a couch. Ryan was already naked, sprawled on the couch with one hand palming his rock-hard dick. “It’s ok… I’m comfortable,” Lora replied as she grabbed the chocolate-flavoured gel and squeezed a substantial amount into her palm. With her hazel eyes locked on Ryan’s grey ones, she grabbed the base of Ryan’s cock with one hand, causing him to let go of his shaft. She then used her other hand which had the gel and gently, but firmly stroked Ryan’s rod like she was giving him a hand job. A few seconds later, Ryan’s manhood was glistening with the gel. It kept twitching and moving this way and that as Lora teased him. Lora smiled as she admired her husband’s shaft. It was huge and slightly curved to the right. The mushroom tip had a bead of precum on the little hole that was responsible for releasing his seed. Lora leaned over and licked the

    After his first day of returning to work, Ryan knocked off and went home in the evening.However, when he opened the door, he found a path that was lit by candles on either side. The place was dimly lit with balloons hanging from a few points on the walls.Ryan raised an eyebrow, calling, “Honey, did you do this?”However, there was no response. He could hear soft music playing in the background as if it was setting the mood for a romantic night. Ryan smiled and walked through the path of candles, following it to the living room where he was greeted by his wife seated on a couch, looking sexy as fuck.She was clad in black lingerie with a red robe draped over her shoulders. Very milky long legs were crossed and the thigh-high racy socks which were put in place by a garter belt made her look like a seductress.Lora was very pregnant, but she still looked hot and alluring. Ryan gulped, feeling blood rush down south.He asked his wife, “Baby, did you prepare this for me?”Lora glanced a

Jason saw the news and called Ryan, saying, “Hey, bro, I don’t know who leaked the news. It had been kept under wraps all this while-”“It was me,” Ryan responded on the phone. He seemed to be in a good mood as he stepped into the glass-walled headquarters of the Kingsley Group. “What? Why?” Jason asked, feeling confused. “Because people were trolling you online. I wanted them to know how selfless you are,” Ryan replied as he walked to the elevator with an air of confidence. The staff smiled at him and he waved at them since he couldn’t talk because of the call. As he entered the elevator, he pressed the last floor and added, “I don’t want people to think we are still enemies. I want you to have a clean slate… so that you won

    “I can’t believe I can finally go out in the open,” Ryan said as he and Lora walked out of the hospital. He looked at Lora and pulled her closer by the waist, “It feels surreal to hold you like this. I missed you, baby.”Lora blushed, realising Ryan’s hand couldn’t wrap around her waist perfectly because her baby bump had grown in the last few weeks. Ryan had to stay longer in the hospital due to a certain complication. However, he still got better with time and after weeks of isolation and tiring treatments, he was finally allowed to go home. His scalp was no longer shiny and sported very short hair that was beginning to grow back. Although he had lost weight, he looked better rather than the pale look he had the past weeks. “I missed you more, Ryan. I’m so happy you’re better now,” Lora remarked. She looked up at him and smiled, saying, “See, I told you you would get better.”“I’m sad I never got to be there for you throughout the first trimester. But, now that I’m out, I won’t mi
