Six years later…

The Moonstone City’s most prestigious events center was buzzing with activity.

This was because the owners of the biggest jewelry company, Davis & Co, had returned to the country to introduce their long-lost daughter to the world.

Jack Davis, a renowned jewelry designer, was a powerful man who had built his family's jewelry business and created wealth for himself.

He had always led the fashion trends in the jewelry world. People were always raving about the jewelry he designed.

However, he went abroad with his wife some years ago. People regretted that they lost the opportunity to form connections with the Davis family.

Finally, the Davis family announced their return.

Many of the distinguished men and women of Moonstone City wanted to rub shoulders with Jack Davis, the CEO of Davis & Co. They showed up in luxury cars and brought expensive gifts to impress the family.

A reporter from KB Entertainment stood in front of the camera as she live-streamed the event.

    Ryan was stunned. Everything about the woman on the stage reminded him of his dead wife. Her face, her body, her voice... there was an uncanny resemblance between the two women. He frowned as he watched Lora Davis give her speech. ‘Larisa, is that you?’ He asked in his mind and a complicated look crossed his face. Lora Davis finished her speech and got down the stage. The MC then announced that she was to open the dance floor with her male companion, Jason Anderson, a mysterious young man who appeared to be a handsome new face in Moonstone City. He was tall with a lean body and he had sandy brown hair with brown eyes. The man, dressed in a three-piece gray suit, walked towards Lora with a charming smile. In front of everyone, he held out his hand to Lora and asked, “May I have this dance, Lora?”Lora smiled and placed her hand in his. They moved to the dancefloor and began to dance to the music. Jason glanced at Lora as they danced. He smiled at her and remarked, “Congratulati

    Ryan’s words hang in the air. He looked deeply into Lora's eyes like he was searching for something and his heart was pounding violently against his ribcage. After a few seconds, Lora glanced at him and asked, “Are you referring to me? Didn’t you get my name earlier? I’m Lora Davis.” “I know… it’s just that you look like someone I know. You have the same face but a different name and identity-”“I think Mr Kingsley mistook me for someone else. This is my first time coming to Moonstone City and I’ve never met you before,” Lora replied calmly. Deep down, she sneered coldly. Yes, she is Larisa. She is also Lora Davis. She is back. She hated the man before her with a passion. He was so ruthless back then and left her in the warehouse to die six years ago… no matter how kind Ryan looked at the moment, Lora knew him well. He was her heartless husband who chose to save his ex and left her to die. Even though she hated him and wanted nothing to do with him, she had no choice but to act

    “What did Ryan Kingsley want? I saw him grab your arm,” Jason asked as he drove Lora back home. He had a gentle smile on his face, but deep inside, he was seething. Lora and him had met while she was abroad six years ago and he had been pursuing her ever since. Jason had been there for her and helped her out whenever she needed a friend or someone to lean on. However, Lora hadn’t rejected him and neither had she accepted him. Since he never openly spoke about his feelings, she never said anything about it either. Seeing another man get interested in her made him a bit anxious. Lora sighed at Jason’s question. That encounter with Ryan made her feel unpleasant. She gave Jason a sideways glance and replied, “A partnership.” “Did you accept?” Jason asked in a low voice. Without realising, he tightened his hold around the steering wheel as he anxiously waited for Lora’s answer. His knuckles turned white from how tightly he gripped the wheel.“I told him I’ll think about it…” Lora said

    “Good morning, Miss Lora." The staff greeted Lora warmly. "Good morning," Lora responded with a smile.Lora arrived at the Davis & Co. company to take over from her father. She wore a light blue feminine business suit with high heels. Her hair was left to flow down her shoulders, giving her a boss lady vibe. “Miss Davis, you’re needed in the conference room,” her assistant, Hannah Collins, reported. She then moved closer and whispered, "All the board members are here and they don't look happy." Lora frowned. She knew why they wanted to see her. How bold of them to show their disapproval of her on her first day of reporting. “I knew this would happen, that’s why I came prepared,” she remarked and smirked. They wouldn't get rid of her that easily. “.......No offense, Mr Davis but your daughter came out of nowhere and you want her to take over the company? I know she’s your family but aren’t you being too careless? How can I be sure that my investment is safe in this company?”Lora

    “Ivy, what are you doing?” Ryan asked when he returned, his voice bringing Ivy back to the present. His eyes lowered to the file in Ivy’s hand and she placed it back on the table before smiling at him. She had wanted to go through it but Ryan returned before she could. “Ryan, can I work in your new jewelry company?” Ivy requested. Ryan frowned. He took a seat on his swivel chair and said, “Ivy-”“You’ve always been taking care of me… I’m a jewelry designer too and I would like to be of help to you.”When Ivy said that, the folds between Ryan’s eyebrows tightened. He thought about her condition and a complicated feeling crept into him. “Do you think I can’t manage to work in my condition?” Ivy asked in a soft, pitiful voice. Guilt filled Ryan’s heart and he didn’t know how to say no to her without making her feel bad. He cleared his throat and answered, “Of course you can work. You can join the company as one of the designers.” Ivy’s eyes lit up when he agreed. She smiled and rep

    “How did you know about this place? Aren’t you new in this city?” Lora looked around the fancy restaurant and asked.Jason smiled. “I asked around about the best place to bring a beautiful lady on a date,” he remarked. Lora froze and her eyes slightly widened. When Jason saw her expression, he laughed heartily. He said, “Look at your expression. I’m just joking. I wanted to bring you here to celebrate your first partnership.” Lora came back to her senses after Jason clarified. She secretly let out a sigh of relief and replied, “Thank you, Jay. You’re always good to me… whether it's out of the country or here. I’m so grateful.” “It’s not for free… after this meal, you will owe me dinner too,” Jason uttered. Lora giggled. She shook her head before promising, “Of course, I’ll treat you to dinner next time.” The restaurant had dim lighting with some soft music playing in the background. It was giving off a calm but romantic vibe which was somewhat relaxing. As they continued to eat

    “He still thinks the world revolves around him,” Lora muttered under her breath. Ryan had already left but anger was still bubbling up within her. She returned with a new identity to put her past behind her and start anew but it seemed she became entangled with Ryan and Ivy once again. Lora’s eyes flashed when she recalled the thug’s words before they set the warehouse on fire. Someone wanted her out of the way and Lora could only assume that it was Ivy. Now that Ryan was giving her unnecessary attention, Lora knew it was only a matter of time before she became Ivy’s target again. ‘I have to avoid Ryan at all costs to protect myself and my children,’ she mused. If Ivy knew Lora had Ryan's kids, only the heavens knew what she would do to them. Jason saw her expression and asked, “Do you know Ryan?” It was strange how the man kept following Lora around. Lora came back to the present after that question. She smiled and said, “How can I know such an important man? I was just an orp

    “I promised to marry her, Grandpa,” Ryan replied. Ivy got hurt because she was going to meet him. If he abandoned her, he didn’t think he could live with himself. Charles Kingsley frowned as he stared at his grandson. He couldn’t understand how someone so smart could allow a woman to trick him. “As long as I’m the elder in this family, I’ll never allow it,” Charles commanded. “Ivy Williams can never become a Kingsley.” He spoke with authority and Ryan didn’t dare try to convince him. Even though Charles was old, he was still the Chairman of the Kingsley Group and still carried an air of dominance and authority. “Grandpa, she got hurt because-”“I don’t care about what lies she’s told you to make you this way. Ryan, if you want to end up like your father, continue entertaining that woman. I was already disappointed with how you treated Larisa. She was such a sweet, kind woman and you blew it,” Charles remarked. Silence fell over them. For Ryan, the mention of Larisa caused him so

One of the staff took the phone to her and she was forced to answer when she saw who was calling. “What is it, Mom?” Bianca asked. “12 pm at Ocean’s Basket.

    “Sir, your parents are back in the city,” Adan Nicholson’s assistant, Cheryl James, reported. “That’s good,” Adan replied lazily. "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. Adan frowned, pinching the bridge of his nose. He asked, “Where’s Reuben? He’s more competent than you. Why didn’t you tell them to call me and ask if I’m free?” Cheryl clenched her hands into fists. Reuben was Adan’s other personal assistant but he was currently on a business trip. She didn’t like being compared to him since it could mean she could lose her job.

    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
