“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

  • Her Return, His Regret   Chapter 78~ Get it off

    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

    When Ivy was being taken to the police station, her blood was boiling with anger. ‘How dare they do this to me?’ She mused in her mind. Tonight was supposed to be special… everything got ruined because of Lora. That woman is like a pest who just couldn’t stay dead! How lucky was that bitch that every time she tried to kill her, she always survived?Ivy clenched her hands into fists, glaring at the cuffs on her wrists. ‘I can’t go to jail. Not when Lora is still alive. I won’t allow her to be happy with Ryan.’ A thought suddenly occurred to her and she looked at the two officers in front of the car before saying, “Officer, I would like to use the restroom.” The officer turned to glance at Ivy through the bars. He scoffed and said, “You hold it in.” Ivy frowned, biting her lip. She had to make them stop for her plan to work. “Please… I’m so pressed. I took some alcohol. I might end up peeing in your car,” Ivy remarked, using her most mastered pitiful voice. “Besides, just because

    “Are you sure about this, sweetheart?” Freya Davis asked Lora. “You don’t need to be forced to introduce the twins to him… the Davis family is very much capable of raising them and they’ve been doing fine without the help of the Kingsleys.” Lora smiled, warmth spreading through her heart at her mother’s words. She glanced at the twins who were waiting in the living room and sighed. “I know, Mom. But… Ryan is their father. I think it’s only right that they get to know who their father is,” Lora replied. “Ryan also deserves to be part of their lives if he wants to.” Since Ivy Williams was now a fugitive of the law, Lora and Ryan agreed that he would meet the children from the Davis mansion. Ryan had deployed a full security team to surround the Davis mansion. No one was allowed to go in and out without clearance. So, at the moment, it was the safest place for Lora and the children to be. Freya frowned, knowing the courage it took for Lora to do this. However, she wasn’t for the idea.

  • Her Return, His Regret   Chapter 83~ A second chance

    Ryan couldn't wait. As soon as he put on protective measures for Lora and the children, he was ready to go and meet the children for the first time. A few days had passed after the fake ceremony. Right after Ivy was exposed, the news of her deception and escape went viral. Everyone was shocked to learn the truth about her. Ryan even put up a bounty on her head. He wanted Ivy to be captured as soon as possible for the safety of his loved ones. The Williams were also being watched in case they had hidden their daughter, however, despite searching their properties and going through the whole city, Ivy was still at large. “Ryan, you can see them when you completely heal. I can meet them on your behalf at the moment,” Diane, Ryan's sister, offered. Ryan had discharged himself from the hospital but his personal doctor visited every few hours to change his bandages and administer his medication. Diane had temporarily moved back to the Kingsley mansion to take care of her brother. “Neve

    Jack Davis had walked into the mansion just in time to witness Ryan’s heartfelt apology and request. However, the man clenched his hands into fists and his jaw tightened. Lora was his one and only daughter. When Ryan had a chance to be with her, he didn’t cherish her. How dare he waltz into his house to apologise and ask for another chance like his past mistakes could easily be forgotten?Jack’s biggest regret was losing his daughter when she was kidnapped by traffickers at a very young age. He never got to see her go into first grade, or buy her gifts when she turned into a teenager. He never got to take her to the high school dance or even attend her graduation… after missing so much time with his daughter and regretting not being there to protect her or make her happy, he didn’t want her to face any more hardships. Seeing the man who took his daughter’s love for granted beg for a chance, anger flared through Jack. He stepped forward and declared, “Over my dead body.” The room f

    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. When he received a response, he smirked before c

    “A trial period?” Freya Davis asked with a raised eyebrow. Ryan nodded and replied, “Yes, Ma’am. I know nothing I say right now will make you change your mind about me. So, I’ll show you that I’ll make your daughter the happiest woman in the world.”“And you only need thirty days to do that?” Freya questioned. “What if you’re just pretending in that thirty days?” “I can never pretend with Lora… I love her. I may have realised too late that she was very important to me, but I’ll make it up to her for the rest of her life,” Ryan proclaimed. Freya sighed, her brows creasing. She looked at Ryan and studied him intently before her gaze softened ever so slightly.“I see,” she remarked. “Since you’re offering thirty days to prove that you’re worthy of my daughter, I’ll give you a chance.”Ryan’s eyes lit up but before he could respond, Freya added, “But… If you fail to make Lora happy or if you hurt her again, I want you to leave her alone forever and never bother her again.”Ryan gulped,

    “I can’t wait to have you and our children home, baby. I hate having to drop you off,” Ryan said after they got out of the car when they arrived at the Davis mansion. He sighed and added, "Being a gentleman is hard." Ryan walked Lora to the patio of the mansion and coiled his arm around her waist, pulling her close.“I wish you stayed with me tonight,” he remarked in his sexy husky voice.Lora smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, looking up at him.“I know but... I have to tell Mom and Dad about our reconciliation first. Dad may have said that he won’t interfere but Mom won’t be so easy to convince,” she replied.Ryan sighed again before saying, “I know. I noticed her reluctance to accept me last time. But I’ll do my best to win her over... if it means I have to eat a hundred chillies-““Don’t even think about it, Mr Kingsley!” Lora scolded. “Try another way... not one that will put you in harm’s way.”“Are you worried about me?” Ryan asked, arching an eyebrow. “Of course I

    Although Lora and Ryan had been married and living together for three years in the past, their love-making wasn’t that great due to the lack of love and affection in their relationship. So, Lora didn’t really have the chance to explore her sexuality. She was reserved and inexperienced. However, as Ryan used his fingers to pleasure her down there, she felt like her veins were about to explode from the intense electric currents sizzling through her. The feeling was foreign, yet it felt so good. All she could do was scream in ecstasy. Lost in the throes of pleasure, she forgot about her shyness and rode Ryan’s fingers like a pro… taking what she wanted like the Queen she was. It was like her body had a mind of its own, setting the pace for what felt good for her and Ryan read her so well, moving in sync with her body. Lora had no idea one could seek pleasure like this. Happy tingles coursed through her and she didn’t know where they began or where they ended. Every part of her felt

    “Why do you keep looking at me like that?” Lora shyly asked, her face flushing pink. Ryan smirked before saying, “I just can’t believe how beautiful you are.” They were seated on a two-seater couch after their heartwarming reconciliation. Lora rolled her eyes. She remarked, “You don’t have to sweet talk me anymore… I’ve already agreed to give you a chance.” Ryan frowned. He wrapped his arm around Lora’s waist before pulling her close so that her back was resting on his chest. “Hey… your wounds-”“Sshh, the wounds are healing, I’m fine,” Ryan said. He wrapped his arms around Lora’s waist before placing his chin on her shoulder. “Just because I won the election, does it mean I have to stop campaigning?” “What?” Lora laughed. The sound of her laughter tickled Ryan’s heart. How long had he longed to hear that sound in his house?Lora pulled back to look at him over her shoulder and asked, “What kind of comparison is that?”“The most logical one,” Ryan replied, smirking. “I was campa
