Thank you for reading.
“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
“Neighbour?” Ryan arched an eyebrow as he looked between Aiden and his sister. “Since when?”“Um... he lives next to my apartment,” Diane replied, her face blushing when she recalled the incident when she thought Aiden had been stalking her. That was the most embarrassing moment of her life. "I didn't know you're now neighbours with my Uncle Aiden, Diane. Is he still a pervert?" Lora asked playfully, making Diane's blush deepen. Although Diane was embarrassed, deep down she thought. 'So, his name is Aiden? It's quite a nice name.' Aiden smirked when he saw Diane’s expression, however, he didn’t want to tease her in front of her brother, so he suggested, “How about we go into the restaurant? I’m starving.”They walked into the restaurant and found a table. After ordering food, Aiden glanced at Ryan and asked, “How far with the search for Ivy Williams?”Ryan creased his eyebrows. The mention of Ivy Williams always reminded him of how stupid he had been for so many years. If only he
Adan Nicholson frowned when he saw his friend break down. He felt bad because Ryan had been this way for six years. Although he never really expressed his feelings, he mostly drowned himself in alcohol, a look of regret crossing his face. Was he going to sink into that hole of despair once again? “Have you explained everything to her?” He asked after Ryan’s sobbing reduced.“I have... well, not everything. After all, I was the one responsible for saving and protecting her. I was her husband for fucksakes. I can’t blame others for my incompetence,” Ryan replied, his voice hoarse and his eyes red from crying. Whatever explanation he had didn't matter... it would still be an excuse. The fact was that he had failed Lora and he was paying for it at the moment. Adan sighed, guilt creeping into him. If this continued, he was afraid Ryan would lose himself again. When they parted ways, he took out his phone and called his assistant. “I want you to find out Lora Davis’ schedule,” he inst
Lora walked into the restaurant just as her phone rang. When she saw that it was Ryan calling, she picked up and said, “Hello, Ryan.”“Lora, where are you? I came to pick you up from work... wanted to take you home,” Ryan said on the phone. "I need to make sure you're safe." “I’m moving with security and I have a bodyguard for a driver. You don’t have to worry about me,” Lora replied. She looked around the restaurant and saw Jason seated at the table near the window. Their eyes met and Jason smiled before waving at Lora.Lora forced a smile and began to approach him, the weight of what she was about to do weighing down on her. After her little chat with Adan, Lora had finally made a decision. She couldn't lie to herself anymore. She was still in love with Ryan.“I know... I wanted to ask you out on a date tonight. I know you’re not sure about us-““Can I take a rain check? I’m a bit busy today but we can go tomorrow,” Lora suggested.There was a pause from the other side of the phon
Ryan’s heart skipped a beat, a thousand emotions washing over him. Was he dreaming? Was the woman in his arms real?He couldn't believe it... However, Lora’s lips moved against his so passionately, igniting a spark of desire within him. Although he was taken aback by Lora’s actions, Ryan wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer before kicking the door shut. He cupped the back of her head before taking charge and deepening the kiss. Fireworks exploded and sparks flew around them as they kissed so intensely. Deep down, Ryan did a happy dance in his heart. It was real!Lora kissed him! It felt so surreal... as if he was living in a fantasy world where Lora could willingly kiss him. However, the vivid taste of her lips and the thousands of tingles rushing through him brought him back to reality. Lora was in his arms, kissing him like it was the first and the last. How long had he been longing for a kiss like that? A kiss that could relay one's true feelings. Ryan p
“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
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
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
