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

Author! You are writing wrong. You have clearly mentioned that Ivy knows Larisa is alive in your earlier chapter. Hence your this para “” Ivy couldn’t fathom—— Larisa’s face? Doesn’t make sense. Please correct it.

    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

    Days came and went and finally, the day of Ryan and Ivy’s engagement ceremony had arrived. Lora, dressed in a black evening dress with cut-outs on the sides of her waist, walked into the lavishly decorated hall with Jason by her side. “Are you sure about this? I know I accepted this invitation on your behalf but if you don’t want to be here, we can leave,” Jason remarked, looking down at Lora. Lora shook her head and said, “It’s fine… Since you had accepted the invitation already, it wouldn’t look good if you went back on your word.” Jason smiled and nodded, his heart resting when he saw how indifferent Lora looked. As soon as Lora entered the hall, the guests couldn’t help but whisper about her. After all, she had been in a scandal where people shipped her and Ryan together. Seeing her attend Ryan’s engagement was shocking to some. “Isn’t she shameless? She almost stole Miss Williams' fiance and still has the audacity to attend her engagement ceremony.”“Can you imagine? Perhaps

    The hall was buzzing with excitement and soft music played in the background as everyone awaited the main program for the event- Ryan Kingsley and Ivy Williams' engagement. Lora suddenly received a text message on her phone. She took out her phone from her purse and smiled when she saw that it was from Bianca. Bianca: [Help! Ella and Ethan won’t stop throwing tantrums. It seems they wanted to come with you to the engagement party.]Lora frowned when she saw that message. Bianca had offered to stay with the kids since the nanny had gone to visit her relatives, however, she didn’t expect them to trouble her for the first time. She replied immediately.[I’m sorry, Bee. They are usually well-behaved. I don’t know why they are like this tonight.]Bianca: [Ethan keeps saying he has to be by your side to protect you from Ivy. I’m surprised he knows she’s evil. Perhaps they heard about the plagiarism case.]Lora’s heart felt warm. It felt good to have little humans who cared so much about yo

    Adan Nicholson had been closely monitoring Bianca’s messages in the past few days hoping he would find anything about Lora. However, the two women never talked about anything that could disclose Lora's secret. Adan was even thinking about giving up, thinking maybe they were just being paranoid. He was at the engagement party when his phone suddenly buzzed and he saw the conversation that Lora had with Bianca. His eyebrows furrowed when he saw the kids that were in the picture that Bianca had sent to Lora. “These kids…” he murmured to himself, his eyes searching for Ryan. This was big news! Lora had children and one of them resembled Ryan so much! This couldn't be a coincidence. The MC called Ryan and Ivy to the stage and Adan’s eyes widened. ‘No. I need to show him this conversation before he goes up there.’Adan rushed towards Ryan and showed him the conversation. “What is it?” Ryan asked as he got the phone, his eyebrows knitting in confusion as he read the conversation. “Rea

    “What do you mean she’s gone?” Jason asked, confusion creasing his eyebrows. “There’s a possibility of kidnapping,” Adan answered since Ryan was ignoring Jason. "She's not in the restroom and her phone was found on the floor."Jason’s furrowed eyebrows tightened and worry crept into him. He remarked, “That’s not possible. Lora has security always following her around. They are disguised most of the time but they are there to protect her in case of anything.”“That wouldn’t matter if a criminal is determined to kidnap someone,” Adan said just as Ryan stormed out of the restroom. “Ryan! Where are you going?” Adan called after his friend worriedly. “To check the CCTV,” Ryan replied through gritted teeth, his wounded fist leaving a trail of blood in his wake. They all went to the CCTV room while everyone in the hall wondered what was happening. Where did Ryan run off to and what about the engagement?Ivy clenched the arms of her wheelchair tightly as she endured the looks of pity from

    “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.
