"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.

    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

    When Ryan popped the chilli pepper into his mouth and quickly chewed it, he didn’t feel anything at first but a faint tingle. However, a sudden explosion of heat tore through his senses, making him feel like he had dipped his face into a pot of boiling water. His eyes grew wider, turning red in an instant as they reacted to the heat and he struggled to keep his expression calm. He continued to chew the chilli, his mouth feeling like someone had lit a match and set his taste buds on fire. Jack Davis glanced at Ryan and asked, “Is it hot? Spit it out now… I know you can’t take it.” Ryan shook his head, determination etched on his face. He said through gritted teeth, “It’s not so bad. I can handle it… this is nothing compared to what Lora went through.”Jack arched an eyebrow but he kept quiet and let Ryan continue. He was waiting for the moment the young man would give up. However, Ryan continued to chew the chilli until it was done and down his throat, even as the heat in his mout

    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
