Thank you for reading.
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
“Ryan, thank you for doing this with me,” Ivy remarked as Ryan pushed her wheelchair into a gemstone boutique. “I thought you were being forced to marry me but seeing you accompany me here gives me hope.” “Can you do your business fast, I have things to do,” Ryan replied, his jaw tight. He wanted to be anywhere but there… shopping for rare stones that would be used for their engagement jewelry with Ivy made him feel empty. Why was he even doing this? Was it worth it?Was this really the solution? Did he want to marry Ivy and live in a loveless marriage again?Would he be able to forget about Ivy’s real face? To be honest, when she stole Lora’s work and accused Lora of plagiarism, Ivy lost her image in Ryan’s eyes. She might have gotten hurt while saving him, but was marrying her really the best way to repay her for her legs? “Ryan, what do you think of this rare pink stone? I think it would look good on my engagement ring,” Ivy’s voice brought Ryan back to the present. He lazily
“Oh, Lora... fuck!” Ryan groaned as he mercilessly pounded in and out of Lora’s core. After burying himself in Lora’s warmth, he lost control. Pleasurable tingles coursed throughout his body. He could feel them in his toes, fingers... in every fiber of his being. He had always imagined himself making love to Lora. How it would feel having her beneath him as he thrust into her... However, reality was far different from his fantasies. It was better... Lora’s moans... the way it felt to kiss her, the way her body reacted to his thrusts... everything about Lora amplified the pleasure for Ryan. It was like he was already in heaven. “Ryan! Yes, right there!” Lora cried out and Ryan sped up his movements. He pounded into her passionately, each thrust he made felt like it was hitting her soul. Like Ryan, Lora too felt pleasure like no other. Electric currents coursed through her, making her body shudder the harder and deeper Ryan's thrusts became. A sharp, pleasurable ache settled
It was a weekend and Ryan had asked Lora to escort him on a business trip. Since she was going to miss him if he went alone, Lora agreed to tag along. “So, where are we going? Is it a nice place? Maybe we can have a mini vacation while we are at it,” Lora asked as Lawrence drove them to the airport. “It’s a secret…” Ryan responded with an air of mystery. Lora arched an eyebrow, curiosity creeping into her. She smiled and asked playfully, “What do you mean? I will know when we land anyway.”“No, you won’t,” Ryan replied. "I will make sure you only find out when we arrive at the hotel." Lora glanced at him with confusion on her face but Ryan didn’t explain what he meant. She only understood his words when they had flown for many hours and Ryan suddenly decided to blindfold her. “Ryan… can you stop being so mysterious?” Lora protested. “Where are you taking me?”“Do you trust me?” Ryan asked in a deep velvety voice. “Yes, I do… very much,” Lora replied. “Well, then you have to
Miles Kingsley froze. He turned to look at the source of the voice and his eyes widened when he saw a small adorable figure running towards him. “Grandpa!” The little girl wrapped her arms around Miles’ legs and looked up. “You’re Daddy’s Daddy, right? You look alike and you look like Ethan too.”Miles’ heart skipped a beat. He looked down at the little girl and then looked up at the woman who was approaching while holding the hand of a little boy who looked so much like Ryan. “This…” Miles was bereft of any words. He turned to look at Ryan, a questioning look on his face. “What’s going on, son? Are these your children?” Miles asked. Ryan nodded and replied, “Yes, Dad. This is Ella and this is Ethan. Not only is Larisa alive, but she also gave me two beautiful children.”Miles glanced at the two children, his eyes watering with tears. He said, “So, I’m a grandfather… and I’m the last person to know that my son has children?” “Miles, it’s not really easy to tell you anything wh
“Congratulations on getting rid of Lewis Hendrix, ma’am. Now you can run the company without any obstacles,” Hannah Collins, Lora’s assistant, said. Lora smiled. Although Lewis and Craig were released on bail for them to await trial, it was a relief not to have them in the company. Otherwise, they could have caused the downfall of Davis & Co.“That’s right… is Miss Kingsley’s design ready for production?” Lora asked. “Yes, it is. I’ll monitor the project closely to make sure no one tries to steal it again. But no one would dare to now that Lewis is paying for his actions,” Hannah replied. “Mr Kingsley really loves you, ma’am. He sorted everything out and you didn’t even have to lift a finger.” Lora smiled at the thought of Ryan. Indeed, Ryan had been very nice to her. He put her first and always prioritised her safety and happiness. With him, she felt secure. When he was near, she felt at ease as though she was home. “Arrange a special gift to give to Diane Kingsley as an apol
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, baby
“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
