MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 10. I DON'T NEED A WIFE.
Allen drove into Old Madam Ryan's mansion and parked his car. He got out of it with a normal look and turned around. He always had a warm face whenever he came to visit. The men he assigned to watch over every human and thing in the mansion ran over to meet him. They bowed slightly. " Welcome, young master. " The man who was the leader greeted. " Hmm. Any problem? " He asked. " No sir, everything is fine and the movement of Old Madam is in limit now. " The man responded and Allen nodded. " Good. Dismiss. " Allen ordered and they bowed slightly before leaving. Allen walked into the mansion and surveyed the surrounding. The maids all assembled themselves before him with slight fear in them. Allen looked at the women, his eyes searching for one person in particular. " Where is Mama Coco? '' He asked. " She is with Madam, Young Master. " They replied in unison and he left. As he walked past the visitor's sitting room, his eyes snapped toward the area and he looked at it for
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 11. NEW DAWN.
The ray of sunlight that pierced through the light curtains in the room woke Jane from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and yawned. She looked around and her eyes fell on her brother who had woken up. She smiled at him. " Hey Bruno, how was your night? " She asked while he only gave a sign of replying by blinking his eyes like he always did and she was used to knowing that sign. " That's good. Very soon you will be back on your feet and you will start talking. I am so happy for you, Bruno." Jane's stare was sincere. Bruno looked at his sister with utmost joy in his heart because she wasn't crying or smiling bitterly as she would in the past but where could she have found such a huge amount of money? This served as a mystery to him and he hoped that she had not done something stupid that could ruin both of their lives, mostly hers. " I will go home and prepare beef soup for you. It will have all the appropriate nutrients that will help you recover rapidly, okay? " In the middle o
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 12. CRUSH.
Allen arrived at his office and his appearance was just the normal way of how things were being run in the company. He was going through one of the files on his table as usual with Kyle on the sofa watching a soccer match. He was deeply engrossed in it and couldn't hide his excitement whenever his favourite team won. The office was soundproof luckily so Allen was faced with no other choice but to go for the last option...pretend to be deaf by putting on the bluetooth device. A female secretary knocked, despite the music blasting through the earpiece and the soccer going on, the two men could still hear the knock. At a moment, Kyle cheerful look turned cold while Allen's remained expressionless. " Come in. " He ordered. The secretary dressed in a tight fitted skirt and a top walked in swaying her hips effortlessly. Kyle didn't spare a glance at her as his eyes were still glued to the screen. The secretary frowned a little because she had dressed this way to impress and seduce the
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 13. DARK BASEMENT.
Allen's car halted in front of an abandoned building and he looked at his left-hand side as if searching for a human's movement. The breeze blew softly against his cold skin as he got out of the car. It was late in the evening already. He pressed the Bluetooth device in his ear to receive the incoming call. " I just arrived and I am about to go in. " He said and the caller ended the conversation.Allen walked towards the building and opened the door. He entered, and his feet made a loud sound on the broken glasses on the ground. He looked around the room which appeared to be the sitting room scrutinizing each detail he could find. He brought out his phone and dialed Xander's number. " Yes, Allen. " " I am in the sitting room right now. " Allen said. " Okay. Find the basement, I believe that he must be there. " " How sure are you that it is the basement? " Allen asked silently. " The basement is a place of an evil hideout, Allen. " Xander replied and ended the call.The weak wood
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 14. WHO IS MY SUPPOSED HUSBAND?
Kyle did not say a word until they arrived at Allen's mansion. If Old Madam Ryan's mansion was big then this mansion was super huge than anything she could have ever imagined. Though she wasn't the religious type, she also heard that if you build a whole building on this Earth, you can only sleep in a room designed only for you. Her mysterious husband's status must be high.Kyle peeped at the rearview mirror for the second time, the look of admiration that Jane had on her face was pleasing to see. He did a roundabout following the area of a garden filled with different types of flowers before he parked the car in an allocated area, the garage.He quickly got out of the car but before he could rush over to open the door like he closed it earlier, Jane had already gotten out of it. " Whoa. "She wondered that maybe going for the contract wasn't really bad. Since it was dark already, she could hardly see the exterior designs in the compound but she assured herself that tomorrow was goin
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 15. MEETING MR ICE.
The next morning, Jane woke up from her bed feeling more relaxed or better still, more energetic than ever. She opened her eyes clearly and looked at the spacious room. Where was she? It didn't look like she was kidnapped or battered so where...oh, she remembered that she was brought in here by a handsome-looking man just to see her husband and probably to start living with him. Then she was reminded by her heart that she ought to be downstairs last night for dinner so she braced herself up and went to the bathtub. Taking a bath in the tub was overwhelming but it would take her some time so she used the shower instead.She had her towel tied around her wet hair as sheopened the wardrobe, to her surprise, it was filled with different ladies' dresses and mostly underwear. That made her blush. Where and when did they get to buy these? Was there perhaps a female living in this same room that she was staying in now before or did her supposed husband just happen to be a pervert?Neverthele
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 16. A TOUR AROUND THE MANSION.
After Bert made sure that she was satisfied with the morning meal she had eaten, they started the tour of the mansion. He began to introduce the rooms to her and also some parts of the mansion so she wouldn't get confused.The mansion had five bedrooms, four sitting rooms, a mini cinema house and a sports arena, a big swimming pool, and a gym house. Jane was being blasted by surprises, this was something she couldn't comprehend.She only saw this in the movies and not, in reality,everything was overwhelming to her. "I hope you like it... everything, Miss Jane?" Bertasked. He needed a positive response from her so his head wouldn't get beheaded unnecessarily, at least not after what he had seen that morning. "Like it? I love it! " Jane screamed that Bert had to cover both ears so they didn't get blocked by her screams. "I am sorry, I didn't mean to yell like that. " She tucked the strand of her brown hair behind her ear as it had covered her face. "It's fine. "Bert said. " Are t
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 17. HE IS A BASTARD.
In another part of the city, inside a big air-conditioned office with different trophies neatly arranged on the shelf and turned towards the entrance so it could show off the glory of its master, a man sat on the sofa provided at the other end of the office. He had a calm posture as he flipped his office file one after the other. His skin wasn't pale but white and attractive which could sweep girls off their feet. He didn't have that chilly aura and vibe that Allen exhibited but he was also feared and respected among his mates, he was no other than the first son of Ezekiel and Rose Ryan.As he continued his work, someone barged into his office which startled him. It was no one else than his father, Ezekiel Ryan. He was panting heavily like he had just run a marathon and his face formed wrinkles due to the negative energy oozing out of him. He looked at his son who was also staring at him with his calm posture.Stephen was counting the seconds left in his head before his father would e

MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 99. FINAL SAY.
"I told you not to ask him out but you refused. You went ahead to disgrace yourself in front of him." Isabella chuckled as she styled her hair in front of her room. Babe grabbed the pillow and pouted. "It was such an embarrassment to me." "What did he say was the problem?" "He said that he has someone that he is interested in." Isabella turned to look at her, "Really?"Babe nodded, "Yeah. He seems to be serious with the lady though." "Well, he only said that he is interested in someone not that he is dating someone. How does that make you feel?" Isabella winked and Babe gasped after realizing what she meant. "That is right. I still have the chance to continue asking him out but how can I do so without embarrassing myself again?" "Try to find out what men like maybe he is going to like them," Isabella suggested as she rubbed her lips against each other after applying her lipgloss. She looked beautiful and that was because she was preparing for an outing.She was g
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 98. HOW COULD YOU?
The next morning came and news about Allen having a woman to marry blew across all social media and people who had seen Jane dance to a song as a cover for it finally put the pieces together after they saw the background of the place she was dancing. It was the background of the Ryan MANSION.Calls started coming in from all over the place, not to Allen because hardly did anyone have his number except his family but call from outside to Old Madam Ruth to congratulate her for the success of her most celebrated birthday.Mira and John in school were not left out and were surprised to see this. "I can't believe that she is related to them," John said with his mouth wide open. He had a can of coke in his hand and he quickly sipped it. He was in total shock. They had been mingling with someone as huge as that yet they didn't know? What type of life was that? "I was suspicious of her. I did see huge cars... expensive ones come to pick her up and how she was being treated like a queen
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 97. WHAT TO DO?
Back at the mansion, everyone was finally leaving after having a healthy talk with the family. As usual, Allen was distant from them and even more distant because of the news that he just received. He was not himself and he felt like leaving quickly but his grandmother prevented him from going and he had no excuse to give her because he already informed her that he had no meeting and he was going to spend the night celebrating with her but seeing as how things are going, he couldn't stand it. "Madam, I am very pleased with what is going on in your family. I am so jealous of you. You got a beautiful lady to marry your grandson." A man said in front of the reporters. Of course, Ruth knew that it was time for her to reveal the truth to everyone. She smiled at the cameras and the reporters closer to her. "Yes, I want to use this moment to appreciate everyone for coming tonight. You are all amazing. Also, yes, I would love to inform everyone that the lady that you are the lady you
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 96. JANE IS GONE!!!!
Jane rushed out of the car by the time she got to the mansion. With eagerness, she climbed the stairs in her gown, not minding that she might fall. She wasn't even concerned about that. "Jane, take it easy, or else you will fall," Bert called as he followed her carefully from behind. If she was to fall then it would be his fault and her husband would skin him alive. He did not want to die now.Jane pushed the door open forcefully only to meet Drake writing something down on his notepad. She locked eyes with her brother and immediately burst out crying. She pushed Drake aside so she would have enough time with Bruno. "Bruno? Bruno, do you still remember me? You are awake. This is great. I am happy." She bent to hug him. "Hmm. You are going to strangle me to death." Bruno frowned but he was so relieved and happy to see his sister. Recently, Drake had put him to sleep even though he told them that it was for health issues but deep within, Drake knew that it was far from there.
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 95. BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION 2.
People were still wondering how Jane was related to the family but seeing how close she was to Allen, one could easily guess that something was going on between the two of them. They just needed someone to at least confirm that.Ruth was suddenly in a happy mood and instructed that the event which had paused abruptly due to the arrival of the couple should continue. Jane could feel the angry eyes of the exceptional and jealous ladies on her. It was making her feel uncomfortable yet proud that she was the one sitting next to the big Allen Ryan - someone rumored to be cold to others. At least, he was treating her right and showing her off. She inwardly prayed that he wouldn't misbehave and embarrass her by showing her his cold attitude.It finally got to the time when the children were supposed to start giving their gifts to Old Madam Ruth starting from Ezekiel. Then the gifts of her daughter were presented to her, different shocking items that the guests were not expecting. "Wow."
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 94. BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION [1]
It was finally D-Day. Lights were everywhere in the mansion. It was a wonderful night as distinguished guests were allowed in with their cards. Only a few recommended and high-class reporters were allowed into the event while the low-based ones were told to stay outside as they didn't want anyone inside among them.It was a thug of war between the ladies too as beauty slashed against beauty, fashion against fashion, and pride against pride. It was such a welcoming event.The grandkids were around as well, as they all dressed in the same color fabric as their grandmother and it was a way to distinguish them from the guests.They went from one group to another... greeting the honorable ladies and gentlemen. The single girls were giggling whenever the men passed by and they sought to have a word with them. "Old Madam Ryan must have done something noteworthy in her past life to deserve such wonderful children and grandchildren. Even at eighty, she is looking energetic and wonderful." T
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 93. THE PREPARATION.
It seemed as if it was the whole country that was planning on celebrating the old Madam Ryan's birthday as her kids and grandkids including in-laws didn't leave any stone unturned in sending her gifts and well wishes when it was just a few days before her birthday. While some were considering that moment to be a wonderful day, some were planning on ruining someone's life as well on that day. Jane was inside Allen's car as he was taking her out to somewhere that she didn't know yet. On their way, she had a sad face and couldn't say a word unlike the normal Jane that she was.Allen would look at her once in a while and since he could not get her thoughts no matter what he did, he relented and succumbed to asking her what happened. "Why are you frowning?" He asked her.Jane sighed and looked at him, "I don't know what to give Grandmother as a gift. I feel so useless seeing others like Isabella, Babe, the twins, and other people plan something huge. No one is even talking to me except
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 92. SICK.
Charlotte groaned on her bed the next morning. She shivered when a part of her blanket pulled away, causing the cold air to brush through her pale skin. She quickly covered herself up and cuddled the more. Charlotte sneezed so hard repeatedly that she could only pray that she wouldn't die of high fever. Just the night before, she was getting the symptoms but what she wasn't expecting was that the situation was going to worsen before the end of the next day.Who could she have offended? Or was Kyle punishing her in this manner? "Achoo!" She sneezed again and sniffed from the impact. Her phone was ringing on her side table but she couldn't turn around again just to answer it so she had to cover up, ignoring the call instead.Let the worst happen!~~~~~~~~Kyle dialed her number again for the third time. He was in a meeting and whatever he wanted to use for it was with her. She wasn't answering the call and this was getting infuriating.She was never late and even if she was going to
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 91. WICKEDNESS.
"I can't do this. Why are you so wicked to me tonight? I just want to sleep." Jane cried out like a five-year-old with puffed-up cheeks as she faced Allen who seemed less concerned with her put-up attitude.She didn't know what had entered him as he instructed that she started solving arithmetic! Freaking arithmetic! Something that she had been running away from all her life and here she was...it landed in front of her through her supposed husband.Wasn't he supposed to be caring towards her and show her love just like a husband should? But no! His own was always going to be different.Allen sipped from his drink and flipped the page of his magazine. His eyes read through the lines of the printed material, his long slender fingers kept trailing behind the magazine while his crossed right leg was jiggling along.Jane became frustrated when she was unable to get his attention so she faced her books with hatred in her mind. She felt like stabbing whoever invented these mathematics in th
