Thank you for reading.
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
Lora's stomach churned with worry as she took care of Ryan. He had gotten worse when she took him to the guest room… his skin turned pale, beads of sweat coated his forehead and he developed a fever. During that time, Lora placed a cool, damp washcloth on Ryan’s forehead and neck to help reduce his fever. For hours, he wasn’t responsive and worry crept into Lora. Why was Ryan looking so weak? His injuries were healing and the chilli shouldn’t have made him so sick. She furrowed her eyebrows, wondering if there was something wrong with him. Brushing her thoughts aside, Lora stayed by Ryan's side until later in the evening when colour returned to his face and he finally opened his eyes. “Are you ok?” Lora asked, her voice laced with concern. Ryan glanced at Lora and nodded, his voice hoarse, “I’m ok.”The chilli effect had gone and the medicine that Lora had given him had stopped the stomach cramps. “Why did you eat chilli when you know you can’t eat anything spicy? Do you have a d
“Ryan Kingsley’s car entered the Davis mansion but it never came out until now,” Jason’s man reported on the phone. Jason clenched his hand around the phone, his eyes flashing with anger. He had been trying to call Lora since the previous day, however, his calls went unanswered. It was like she was trying to avoid him. Luckily he had placed someone to watch over her, otherwise, he wouldn’t have known she wasn’t picking up her calls because she was with Ryan Kingsley. “Keep me updated,” Jason replied through gritted teeth before cutting the call and throwing his phone on the couch. He hadn’t had time to spend with Lora since the kidnapping incident since she was always with Ryan, taking care of him. It was like he had already lost her to Ryan after he risked his life to save her… “No, I’m not going to lose you to Ryan, Lora. I can lose everything but not you,” Jason muttered to himself, a look of determination on his face. …Meanwhile, Ryan had booked the whole restaurant at the
Lora’s eyes widened, taken aback by Jason’s bold words. How could he say that so easily in front of the kids?Sure enough, Ella looked between Lora and Jason before asking, “Is it true Mommy? Will we really have a stepfather? But I don’t want a stepfather! I want my real father!” Ryan clenched his jaw, seeing his daughter cry made his heartbreak. He picked her up from her seat and placed her on his lap before soothingly saying, “You’re not going to have a stepfather… I’m your one and only father.” He glared at Jason and questioned, “What is wrong with you? How can you say that in front of the kids?” “I’m just saying the inevitable… after all, Lora and I will get married in the future-”“Jay, a word?” Lora said in a low voice. Jason saw that Lora was angry. He smiled at her and replied, “Sure.” When they left the restaurant, Lora looked at Jason, anger flitting through her eyes. “How could you say that in front of the kids without discussing it with me first?”“I don’t think there’
Lora furrowed her eyebrows, looking down at the man sleeping on the bed, flanked by the twins on either side. Hours earlier, she had agreed to her daughter’s request, her pleading eyes making it difficult for her to refuse her.Although Lora knew Ryan was exaggerating, the weariness in his eyes told her there was something she was missing. Why did he look so tired and worn out? And was it just in her mind or he had lost weight?Lora had noticed that Ryan’s skin had become pale after the accident. She didn't know if it was because he lost a lot of blood or if there was something wrong with him. Could his injuries be more serious than he let on?When they returned, Ryan played with the kids and listened to their stories. However, he immediately fell asleep after having dinner. It was strange because Ryan wasn't an early sleeper. The kids had asked if they could sleep with their father and seeing them look so comfortable with him warmed her heart. Lora's phone suddenly rang and she q
“Ma’am, Mr Anderson really loves you… you’re already dating but he’s still sending you flowers. And these look different than the usual… they look expensive,” Hannah Collins, Lora’s assistant, remarked.Lora glanced at the flowers in the vase near her desk, her heart doing a little flip. She too had thought it was Jason who sent her the flowers. However, since the sender was daring enough to claim to be her husband, it could only be Ryan. “These are not from Jason. They are from Ryan,” Lora replied and Hannah’s eyes rounded. “Mr Kingsley sent you flowers? Are you two-?”“No, we are not. Don’t you have work to do, Hannah?” Lora asked, furrowing her eyebrows. “I do… but I just thought that maybe you and Mr Kingsley reconciled and that’s why he’s sending you flowers,” Hannah remarked. “No, we did not. Although we are friends now, I can’t be with him again. He was with Ivy after all,” Lora remarked, sadness creeping into her. Although she could see that Ryan had changed, she couldn’t
Lora had been unable to work after receiving flowers from one Ryan Kingsley. It didn’t help that the fragrance of the roses kept spreading through her office, a reminder of Ryan’s odd actions. It was shocking. Ryan? Sending flowers? He wasn’t one to do that. As a handsome, rich man, Ryan wasn’t the type to grovel at anyone’s feet. He took what he wanted, when he wanted. So, Lora was caught off guard when he surprised her with red roses of premium quality. Could he have hit his head when he saved her last time? Lora was deep in her thoughts when she received a call from Aiden Davis. “Hello, kiddo. I’ll be leaving for a few weeks, wanna come out for lunch? My treat,” Aiden said on the phone. Lora’s eyes lit up. Perhaps her favorite uncle would help to keep her mind off a certain someone. She quickly got to her feet and left the office but she didn’t expect to run into Lewis Hendrix. The man looked like a dangerous thug. His eyes were cold and full of hatred for Lora as he glar
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
