Thank you for reading.
Charles Kingsley narrowed his eyes. He glanced at Lora and asked, “Why not? In the eyes of the law, you two are still husband and wife.” “Um-”“Grandpa, Lora and I will work things out by ourselves,” Ryan said and Lora gave him a grateful look. “If you say so… I’m just glad that Larisa is alive! So, when am I meeting my grandkids?” Charles asked and Lora’s eyes widened. “You even know about the twins?” Lora’s face had a question mark. Did Ryan’s grandfather ask someone to investigate her?Charles nodded proudly and answered, “Of course. I found out first before everyone else. However, I won’t tell you how… it’s a secret.” “Twins? What twins?” Diane asked, feeling confused and then a lightbulb went off in her head. Her mouth rounded in shock before she exclaimed, “You and Ryan have twins? So, I’m an aunt?” Lora nodded, a smile forming on her lips at the thought of her children. She replied, “Yes. A boy and a girl. I’m sure they will be happy to meet you, Diane.”“Ah! I can’t wait!
“Are you ok?” Jason asked Lora on their way to her apartment. When Lora left Ryan’s ward, she found Jason waiting for her outside. He offered to take her home for a shower and a change of clothes. Even though he had a lot on his mind, he didn't say anything to Lora apart from that question. Lora glanced at him and sighed. Jason was so good to her, but she just couldn’t bring herself to love him. However, she couldn’t hurt him either when he had done nothing to deserve that. “I’m ok, Jason. I wasn’t hurt that much compared to Ryan. He’s in a bad state,” Lora replied. An awkward silence fell upon them for a few seconds before Jason remarked, “I wish I was the one who saved you.”Lora frowned. She glanced at Jason and said, “Don’t say that again… I already feel guilty about Ryan’s injury, I wouldn’t want someone else getting hurt because of me.” “I know but… perhaps him saving you would make you love him again,” Jason uttered in a low voice. “Although Ryan saved me, I can’t just fo
Lora quickly showered and went to the living room. As promised, the twins gave her a clumsy foot massage. “Do you feel better, Mommy?” Ella asked as she tried her best to use her little fingers to massage one of Lora’s legs.Although Lora felt like she was being tickled, her heart felt full. She smiled and said, “Thank you so much… the massage has made me feel better.” Ethan had a serious look on his face as he worked on Lora’s other leg, pretending to be a professional masseur. Bianca chuckled and took a picture of this scene. She remarked, “You’re so lucky to have such adorable twins, Lora. They love you so much.” “I love Mommy and since Daddy is not yet here, I’m going to continue giving her foot massages and rubbing her back,” Ella proclaimed and Lora’s heart skipped a beat. The kids had never bothered her about meeting their father. However, it didn’t mean she couldn't see the longing look in their eyes each time they saw other children with their fathers at the theme park.
“Ryan, wake up it’s time for your meds,” Lora said to the man who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed. A few days had passed and Ryan’s injuries had started to get better. Throughout the days, Lora stayed by his side as she promised. However, the man spent most of those days sleeping due to the strong pain medication he was being given. When there was no response from Ryan, Lora frowned. It’s normal for someone to oversleep when not well but she had noticed that Ryan was taking longer to wake up the past few days. She reached for him and shook him lightly, saying, “Ryan, wake up, it’s time for your medication."Lora frowned. Ryan was usually a light sleeper. How come he couldn't wake up even after she shook him? "R-Ryan?” She tried again, shaking him lightly. However, Ryan’s head suddenly lolled to the side, making Lora’s heart drop to her feet. She glanced at Ryan and noticed his face was pale and his lips looked too dry. Fear crept into her and twisted her gut. He looked l
"Don't come near me! You're a ghost! Stay away!" The thug yelled, his eyes and mouth rounding in shock. Was he seeing things? This woman who had appeared beside Ryan Kingsley no longer exists in this world. He shared looks with his friends who were equally terrified and his heart jumped to his throat. They saw her too... which means she was alive. But how?“It can’t be… how are you still alive? I killed you myself!” The thug yelled, his body trembling from fear. He was shocked to see the woman he had burned alive come back to life. Six years ago after they made a huge amount of money from working with Ivy Williams, the thugs left the Country to avoid being caught. However, they ran out of money and didn’t really have connections abroad. So they decided to return to Moonstone City and see if they could reclaim their turf. What they didn’t expect was to be caught by Ryan Kingsley’s men the moment they entered the City. Didn’t Ivy Williams say the woman they killed wasn’t that impor
At the Williams’ mansion the next day… Ivy dressed up in a gorgeous emerald green gown, ready for the engagement ceremony. Although she hadn’t seen Ryan since Lora's kidnapping incident because he claimed to be busy, she didn’t really care since Lora was gone for good now. Whether Ryan liked it or not, Ivy was the only one he could marry in this lifetime. A smirk crossed her red-coloured lips as she stared at herself in the mirror. She was beautiful. Her blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, her skin as fair as snow and her lips were shaped like a bow. She had beautiful green eyes that could make any man fall for her. So, why didn’t Ryan love her? Why did he only have eyes for Lora? Even when Lora had another man, Ryan still kept her in his heart. Ivy frowned, irritation flaring through her at the thought. It didn’t matter anyway… in the end, she was getting what she always wanted- power. Being a Kingsley meant being the most powerful person in the city. She
Earlier, before Ivy arrived at the venue, Ryan glanced at Adan and asked, “Is the gift ready?” Adan laughed when he remembered what gift Ryan was talking about. He shook his head and said, “You know what… I had forgotten how crazy you can be. How did you even think of that?”Ryan smirked. He remarked, “Ivy is cunning… if I just accused her of being able to walk in public, do you think she would willingly accept defeat? She would probably put on a show and make us look like we are bullying a poor disabled woman.” With Ivy's acting skills, Ryan was very sure she would manage to weave herself out of a difficult situation. What he wanted was to expose her clearly in front of everybody so that everyone knows what kind of snake she was. “Well, I must say your plan is genius. Ivy won’t even realise that she’s exposed herself until a few seconds later,” Adan responded. "I have it close by. When you need it, I'll bring it to you." Ryan nodded. Tonight, he was determined to deal with Ivy on
Ivy froze when she heard that voice. A chill ran down her spine and her heart jumped to her throat. She glanced at the crowd, wondering if she was hearing voices. Did Lora come back to haunt her as a ghost?Soon, a woman emerged from the crowd. She looked hot, wearing a red sequin off-the-shoulder gown with a highslit. The woman was the epitome of beauty. She turned heads wherever she passed... She looked so graceful and elegant and her presence commanded the hall's attention. Everyone watched as she gracefully made her way up the stage and Ryan was quick to approach her. He smiled before holding her hand and bringing it to his lips, placing a soft kiss on her fair hand. “You’re just on time for the show,” Ryan remarked, a smirk playing on his lips.The woman smiled and replied, “I couldn’t miss it for anything in the world.” At the same time, Ivy’s jaw had dropped to the floor. She glanced at the woman with wide eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing. "N-No... it... it can
Adan had been called for an earlier meeting in the morning by the board. In the conference room, one of the shareholders glanced at him and remarked, “The news of your marriage alliance with the Jones Group has been announced. Well done, Mr Nicholson. This is a great opportunity for our company to thrive.” Adan shook his head. He scoffed and replied, “So, you want to make money off my marriage?” The shareholders cleared their throats, looking uncomfortable. “No, that’s not the case. We just feel like this collaboration will bring our company to greater heights. Perhaps we can be at par with the Kingsley Group soon,” another shareholder responded. “That’s right. Congratulations on your marriage, Mr Nicholson. I’ll surely gift you a house on your wedding day,” the first shareholder stated. Adan sighed internally. No one was really happy for him. They just cared about the profits that the partnership would make them. He didn't have time for their fake wishes and quickly changed the
“Speak. Why did you call me out? You know I’m on paternity leave right now,“ Ryan Kingsley said to his friend as they sat in a private room at a club. Adan had called him over so they could have a drink. Ryan would have refused so he could stay with his family but after hearing the tone of Adan’s voice, he agreed to meet him to find out what was going on. Since Adan had been there for him when he had issues, Ryan wanted to return the favour. Adan took a sip of his whiskey before looking at his friend. He replied, “I wanted to vent and you’re the only one I have. My mind is a mess right now.” Ryan leaned back in his seat and asked, “Is this about your arranged marriage to Bianca?” Adan’s eyes rounded at Ryan. “You already know?” Before Ryan could reply, Adan shook his head and added, “Why am I even surprised? Bianca must have already called her bestie to fill her in on the news. By tomorrow, the whole country will know.” Looking at Ryan, he remarked, “You need to congratulate me
Bianca Jones was shooting an Ad at the Davis & Co. Lora, as Miss L, had released a new collection and hired Bianca as her brand ambassador.It was during the shoot when Bianca’s phone kept ringing. 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. Don’t be late,” Bianca’s mother, Evelyn Jones, said. Bianca frowned, saying, “Mom, I’m busy-”“I’m sorry but you have to be there. I always let you do what you want. But this involves the company. Even if you don’t want to take over, you can help out in a way,” Evelyn said on the phone. “Be punctual.” Bianca rolled her eyes. She knew what her mother was up to. What other help can she offer other than marrying a very rich man who can partner with the Jones Group?However, Bianca wasn’t interested in marrying a man who she didn’t love. The only reason she was going was to give her parents face. After that, she was going to reject th
“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. Cheryl never wanted to be far away from Adan since she had a secret crush on him. “They called you so many times but you didn’t answer their calls, sir,” Cheryl responded patiently. Ada
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
