MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 29. DINNER WITH THE RYANS' [1]
"I don't really know what the old woman wants this time around, always holding meaningless meetings. " Risa, the only wife of Ezekiel Ryan spoke. She was a 45-year-old woman with so much ego being the only daughter-in-law of the family. She was given much prestige that she never once failed to use in public. Risa was into modeling and was an ambassador for many brands. With her behavior and attitude, one would thinkshe was the queen of the empire. She twirled around in her black flawless gown. "I hope you know that the woman you are talking about is my mother. " Ezekiel countered as he puts on his grey pants. Risa rolled her eyes at his statement as she applied the gloss to her lips and rubbed them against each other to make it perfect. "What do you think she is going to say this timearound? " Risa asked her husband who had finished dressing and was waiting for her. "Maybe something about the estate she gave to Allen instead of our son. " Ezekiel gritted his teeth. Just the tho

"What the hell is granny saying?' Everyone except the two thought as they watched the whole show. "Come in everyone and let's eat. " Old Madam Ryan spoke cheerfully pulling Jane along and making her sit with her. "Mother, what is going on? Who is this stranger you called... daughter-in-law? Whose daughter-in-law is she?" Ezekiel asked as he pulled out his chair and settled down. Jane's ears perked up at what he said and tried tospeak. "I am..." "My husband was referring to his mother so you aren't allowed to talk. "Risa blasted her. "Your husband was referring to his mother so you aren't allowed to interfere in their discussion because you have no right to. "Allen countered back as he wiped his cutlery gently, not sparing a glance at her. Risa shut up and suppressed her urge to give him a befitting reply.Old Madam Ryan looked at her family who were giving each other a deadly glare and she sighed. She only wanted to unite them again but no matter what happened, Allen wasn't rea

Jane woke up the next morning into a world of boredom. She rubbed her eyes and stood up from her bed after yawning a little bit. She walked toward the bathroom and brushed her teeth before leaving her brother's room. "Hey." She greeted as she entered and closed the door. Bruno opened his eyes and turned to look at her. "How are you?" She asked and Bruno only nodded but it could be seen that he was recovering well and this gladdened Jane's heart. "It seems Doctor Drake is treating you well and within a month, I am sure that you will be able to walk and talk as well. Let me get your breakfast." Jane said but the empty plate beside Bruno revealed that he had eaten and she smiled. Even though she felt like she wasn't treated well by Allen, her brother experienced good treatment which she appreciated. She kissed his forehead before leaving his room.She walked downstairs towards the dining room where Steward Ben was standing, staring at the meal. He raised his head when he heard the sou

Charlotte adjusted her top and knocked on the door which was opened by a fair-complexioned woman, tall and slim.The woman immediately hugged Charlotte withhappiness. The two women both ululated that Charlotte had to cover their mouths. "Aunt Jenny. "Charlotte pulled her into another warm hug. "Charlotte...wow...I am amazed to see my beautiful niece again. How are you? Sit, let me get you something to drink. "Jenny quickly turned around but Charlotte pulled her again but this time around to sit on the cushion. "Aunt, calm down. Leave that for now, okay? I will drink something later, how have you been? " "Well, I am fine. How was the journey? Hope you weren't stressed out?" Jenny asked. Charlotte flashbacks to her meeting

[P.S: I want to use this medium to appreciate those who left a few comments and power stones during the last chapter. If you were one of them then I need you to know that I so much appreciate your help and here is a chapter for you. I love you.]The pants of a tired man could be heard as he got wary of running in the dark but the spirit of fear didn't let him rest as he tried to increase his pace. Someone jumped in front of him from the dark and that made him fall abruptly. "Haaaa." He screamed with fear. "Ple...Please, spare my life. I have done no... nothing wrong." The man stammered with fright as he moved backward while sitting. The man in front of him looked scary but he couldn't see his face that well, the moonlight only helped him in seeing his body. "Tell that to the boss." The man received a strong punch that made him go unconscious immediately.The victim later identified as Francis opened his eyes and blinked them severally trying to remember where he was. The room he wa

In the Einstein family house, the aged citizens sat down opposite each other doing the things they love the most. Grandpa Einstein was busy reading the news while his wife was knitting. There was silence between them until the blabbermouths arrived. The two grandsons of the family walked in obviously discussing and arguing with each other. "Are you kidding me? Being a doctor is way cooler." Ricky the older twin argued. "Bro, that's dumb. A teacher is the best person and the profession is better. Who teaches you?" Vicky the younger twin asked. "Who else wanna teach you except a teache?" Ricky replied Vicky. "There you have it. Don't disturb my peace. "Vicky said with a tone of finality. "That's stupid." "Says the boss of stupidity." Vicky insulted indirectly and Ricky touched his heart with pretense as if he was hurt by his words. "Hello, granny." Vicky shook her hands. "I never knew that we were visible until now." Grandma Einstein retorted as she picked another pack of wool.

In Stephen's company, the board of directors was inside the conference room having a thorough discussion about a project. "Mr. Ezekiel, we need to talk about the cons of this project as well." One of the men suggested. "There isn't any con anywhere. Once the delivery gets to the southern part, it's none of our business again. All we need to do is to make sure that the goods get delivered, simple!" Ezekiel replied with a stern look. "All right. " "I also want to chip this in as well, why don't we start investing more in agricultural products like your brother, Mr. Stephen?"Stephen's face grew dark because of this question and his knuckles cracked. "I... don't... have... to...do what my brother does to grow his business. "He replied coldly. "It was just a mere suggestion. " "Mr. Jerry, that's a toxic suggestion that can ruin lives, especially yours. " Jerry immediately kept quiet and no one spoke up again. "I am sorry for the rude behavior. It is just that I don't like when peo

"Hello darling, how are you?" Lisa asked on the phone. She gracefully mounts down the stairs before sitting down on a decorated chair. "I am fine, mum. I miss you a lot. " A lady answered from the other end with a cute voice. "I miss you too and I can't wait to see you again." "Same here, mum. How is granny and everyone doing?" She asked. "Well, your brother had been engaging too much in the business and your grandmother doesn't seem to care."Lisa signaled to the maid beside her. "Repolish my nails. I am tired of this color. "Lisainstructed and the maid left to get the necessarymaterials. On her way, she kept wondering why the rich live their lives excessively. Her madam had done that nails two hours ago and now she was already sick of it? Was this what people referred to as being money drunk? "I will talk with Stephen so he doesn't stress himself out. " "Of course, Isabella. Anyway, your grandmother found a fiancee for Allen not quite long, a barbaric one to be precise." Li

"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
