MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 38. THE PUNISHMENT; SEDUCE ME IN A MONTH.
Jane was in her room after checking up on her brother. She worea black nightgown and was cleaning her hair with the towel before drying it. She applied some lotion to her body and lay on the bed while browsing through the different theatre schools on a website.She had a passion for acting and wanted to become a full-time actress but her predicament couldn't allow it.Now that she was married to a billionaire, she could sponsor herself all through but the problem was how would she inform him? It was just a week towards the beginning of a new month and a new semester for all schools, she didn't want to arrive late. Since Drake wasBruno's doctor, he could help take care of him in her absence moreover Old Madam Ryan told her that she was free to do anything she wanted to do so why would Allen refuse her?Speaking of Allen, he was yet to scold her for what she did even though Jane believed that it wasn't wrong but she knew what might be going on in his mind and how it worked. Jane believ
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 39. ARE YOU CRAZY?
Jane woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. She did a little bit of exercise on her bed before getting off it. The memories of last night rushed back into her brain and she felt dizzy all of a sudden. What spirit made her agree to Allen's challenge? Yeah, the spirit of not backing down from a challenge. Today was the start of it all and she did not even know what to do. She dialed Charlotte's number but it wasn't reachable. "Whatever it is, I will follow my heart." She murmured and went to the bathroom. After she was done with her wake-up routine she went downstairs for breakfast. "Good morning, Mr. Ben. " She greeted as she pulled the chair and sat on it. "Good morning to you as well, Madam. How was your night?" "It was fine, thanks. Where is Allen?" "Master has left for work." "Oh, thanks." Jane spoke and ate her food in silence until Drake made his appearance. "Good morning to the house." He threw his car keys playfully and caught it. "Morning." "Good morning sir."
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 40. STEP ONE: SEE YOURSELF AS A DUTIFUL ONE.
A car drive into the mansion at full speed late in the evening and parked at its usual spot. Jane got out of the car with her brain filled with ideas for her challenge.She looked around to see if Allen had arrived as she walked closer to the entrance but he was yet to. She sighed. Before she could enter the mansion, her eyes landed on the building a bit away from the mansion, the building she was warned not to get into but wait, what was Kyle doing in there?She squinted her eyes to see the view more clearly. Kyle had his back turned against her immediately he was out as he locked the door. Before he could turn around, Jane entered the mansion hastily.She went straight to the kitchen where she met Ben already getting ready to prepare dinner. Her earlier thoughts about Kyle were quickly swept under the carpet. "Good evening, Mr. Ben." "Good evening, Madam. What are you doing here?" "I want to prepare dinner for Allen." Jane replied smiling and Steward Ben chuckled happily. "Wow,
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 41. STEP TWO: INITIATE A GOODBYE KISS.
Allen woke up the next morning, as early as he would always to prepare for work. He walked into the bathroom and had his shower before coming out. His cold eyes dashed towards the tray on the table. He only decided to eat the meal after Drake forced him to and to be sincere, it wasn't bad but was this a way of seducing him? Through food? Shouldn't seduction come through seductive means? Allen couldn't stop thinking about what the young lady was up to but his suspicion about her still made him have his doubts about who she reallywas.He picked up his phone and dialed Drake's number. The latter answered the call with an angry tone. "Won't you please let me sleep enough? What have I done wrong to you or your ancestors?" Drake lamented. "I have found a way to figure out the mystery behind your unseen prediction about Jane." Allen replied, not minding his unnecessary rants. Drake who was still in bed sprang up to his feet immediately, his eyes were now clear and wide open. "I am open t
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 42. SUSPICIOUS.
Charlotte walked out of a television station and heaved a sigh of relief for the third time in a row. She brushed her waist-length brown hair with her fingers as she looked around in earnest expectation of a cab or bus.She had woken up as early as she could to attend the second interview for the past two days but the only reply they gave her was that we will get back to you.' "As expected.'' she thought and hissed loudly. While looking around, she sighted Kyle standing not too far from where she was and she smirked to herself. She hastened her steps to meet him with a huge smile. "Hello." She greeted.Kyle raised his bowed head only to be faced by the one person he never planned or wish to see that morning. Though Charlotte was smiling at him, he did not say anything rather he gave her a frown. "Do you remember me? I am..." "Miss Charlotte, how may I help you?" Kyle cuts in, his rude response made her face squeeze but she wasn't ready to let go of him now. "I know we didn't kick
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 43. POISONING THE SUSPECTED JANE.
Old Madam Ryan rocked her body on the chair she was sitting on gently. Beside her was Paul and her cup of tea in her hands was a newspaper. Her eyes reamed lazily on the front page. On the page was Stephen's picture and it was about his company's progressive works.Old Madam Ryan's eyes sparkled with inner joy at the sight of the information she had seen. She closed the paper and sipped her tea gently. "What do you have to say about Stephen, Madam?" Paul asked after a while. "I am quite impressed with his recent performances." She replied. "But why do you prefer to praise Allen more than him?" He asked and Old Madam Ryan glanced at him before returning her gaze elsewhere. "They are different from each other therefore they should be praised differently. You seem to compare them to each other and at the end, Allen gets to be favoured the most. Why? Stephen is your biological grandson, shouldn't he... " Paul didn't finish his sentence as he waited for her response.Old Madam Ryan chu
MEETING MR ICE [ Volume one ] 44. ALLEN, SAVE ME.
Charlotte walked into the mansion in huge strides. She was putting on black pants and a blue crop top alongside a jacket. Her long brown hair was packed into a ponytail. She looked around only to see that the sitting room was empty. She brought out her milkshake and sipped it. "Where has everyone gone to? It's still morning. " She murmured and proceeded to go upstairs. In a fit of rush, she collided with Drake thereby spilling some of the drink on him. She was shocked to see him. "Oh, I am sorry, Mister. I didn't see you coming." She tried to wipe the already stained shirt. "It's fine. You must be Charlotte, Jane's friend?" Drake stretched his hand forward for a shake. "Yes...yes, you are right." She acknowledged. "I am Drake, nice to meet you." He introduced himself and Charlotte smiled. He wasn't bad looking himself. "Same here, Drake. I believe Jane is in her room?" "I believe so, yes." "Alright, thank you." She paused beside him and went upstairs.The prete

Jane and Charlotte went ahead to pay a visit to Old Madam Ryan after checking up on Bruno's health progress. Charlotte seemed to be in a full mode of gisting as she did not stop saying this or that. She was also excited to meet the grand matriarch of the Ryan Empire that she had always heard about.Immediately after the car drove into the compound, Charlotte stopped talking. "Jane!!! You are poverty free for life." She commented "Yeah, just for two years." Jane replied and Charlotte snickered. Today she would be meeting the legendary businesswoman whose fame shone all around the country. She had seen her on television and the news.she had heard a lot about her and especially her family so she had a good impression of this woman.Charlotte, when she saw Allen the other day did her little research about him.

"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
