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

Ryan glanced at Lora, a million emotions swirling in his eyes. He swallowed the lump in his throat and said in a low voice, "I don't believe you." Lora scoffed and replied, "You don't need to. Jason is the man I love and chose to marry." Ryan fell silent, the lump in his throat growing bigger. He looked at Lora and took a step forward, getting closer to her. He could feel his heart racing in his chest, Lora's scent seeping into his nostrils the closer he got. "I don't believe it because I can't see it in your eyes, Lora. You see, you don't look like someone who's in love right now," Ryan said in a low velvety voice. Lora sneered and looked up at Ryan. She questioned, "Who are you to say that? What right do you have to claim I don't love the man I'm dating?" "I may not have the right but I can prove it," Ryan said and before Lora could tell what was happening, he held the back of her neck before capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. Lora froze, her heart pounding like a gallop

There was an air of awkwardness between Lora and Jason on their way back.Lora had noticed her lipstick was smudged when she was about to get into the car. She had seen her reflection in the window and her heart raced erratically.A flare of guilt rushed through her. What would Jason think of her now?Clearing her throat, she glanced at Jason who was focusing on the road and asked, “Why are you not saying anything?”Jason arched an eyebrow at Lora and questioned, “About what?”The words got stuck in Lora’s throat. How was she supposed to ask her boyfriend why he wasn’t confronting her when he had noticed that another man had kissed her?She furrowed her eyebrows and replied, “Actually, I didn’t know Ryan would follow me to the restroom. I-““You don’t need to explain anything to me, Lora,” Jason said, interrupting Lora’s words. “I trust you. If something happened, then it could only be Ryan Kingsley’s fault.”Lora bit her lower lip as guilt completely filled her heart. What did she do

"Sir, there's been a cyberattack on your personal assets!" Lawrence Scott, Ryan's assistant, reported. Ryan furrowed his eyebrows. He had a question mark on his face as he said, "That's not possible. My assets are well protected." "Clearly they are not, Sir. This hacker was able to log into the system and made you lose a hundred million dollars. They've also hacked into your crypto portfolio and distributed one hundred thousand Bitcoin tokens to other traders," Lawrence explained. Ryan furrowed his eyebrows. He opened his portfolio and sure enough, his bitcoin had been tampered with. As he was assessing the impact of the attack, his screen suddenly blinked and a message popped up. [This is for hurting your wife.]'My wife? Larisa?' Ryan's heart skipped a beat when he read the message. Did someone know Larisa and how she died six years ago? Was this their way of making him pay for not saving her?Ryan's heart clenched with guilt and his stomach churned as the image of the warehouse

"Adan, any updates? Grandpa said something that got me thinking last night... I keep thinking Lora might be Larisa," Ryan said on the phone. "I doubt two different people can have the same face unless they are identical twins." It was the next day and Ryan had called his friend to find out about the progress of the investigation. He didn't know why, but something told him they were missing something. Lora's hatred for him... the way she avoided him... it didn't seem like she had just known him recently. He always suspected her identity but he thought it wasn't possible for her to be Larisa since he had seen the explosion himself. However, his grandfather's words made him realise something. There was no way they could verify that the ashes belonged to Larisa. They couldn't even tell if the ashes were mixed with a human being's or if they were just from the burnt warehouse. Larisa could have managed to escape before he could save her. Perhaps he couldn't find her because she hid hers

At the Davis & Co. Company. Lora had a day when she received private consultations from VIP clients who wanted their jewelry designed by her. Hannah walked into the office and announced, “Miss Davis, the last VIP client has arrived.”Lora looked up and nodded, “Send them in.” A few minutes later, the door opened and a beautiful striking woman with an elegant poise walked into the office. Lora’s eyes widened slightly when she saw who it was. The client was none other than, Diane Kingsley, Ryan’s sister.Lora masked her surprise with a professional smile, her stomach knotting with nerves. Why was Diane here? Did Ryan send her?'What do I have to do to get rid of Ryan completely?' She asked herself in her mind. After promising Jason that she would stay away from Ryan, she didn't want to be entangled with anyone who was close to him. “Good afternoon, Miss Kingsley-”“Oh stop it, Lora. Call me Diane. I’m not into that formal stuff,” Diane remarked enthusiastically as she invited herse

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

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

“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

"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
Her Return, His Regret Chapter 174~ Found
“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
