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?

    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

    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

    “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

    “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
