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. She saw that Allen's name on social media was less in comparison to Stephen but the search topic about him was more than a billion. Yes, he ran one of the largest firms in the co

Late in the evening when the workers had left for home, Allen walked out of his office. Bert was following from behind with his suitcase. He never stopped talking to Allen even though the cold man didn't give him any befitting reply. When they got to the entrance, Allen'sphone rang. This made Bert stop talking and proceeded to the car after the door was opened by the security men. Allen had his Bluetooth device connected to his phone already and it was in his ear so he accepted the call by swiping. "Hello, grandmother." "How are you, Allen?" "I am fine, grandmother. How are you doing?" "I am equally good too. Jane and her friend came to visit me and we had fun. Goodness, your wife, and her friend are really something." She chuckled. "I am glad to know that." Allen's face warmed up. "Where are you?" "I am about to leave for home." "Can you stop by? I need to talk with you aboutsomething very important." "Yes, grandmother." "Good. Don't be late."Allen got into the car and

Drake who had been in all day trying to get somemysterious facts rights decided to leave his room in the dark and headed towards the building with a Torchlight.Not that he needed one anyway but it seemed logical to take that step. His steps hastened towards the building but before he could reach the entrance, he felt someone's presence behind him. He stopped walking and sighed before turning around. "Won't you let me do my work in peace?" He asked. Allen was standing in front of him with his hands inside his pockets. "What are you up to? You could have done whatever you want to in your room, it's one of the most spacious in this mansion." "Aren't you a man of a few words, huh? Look, I need the possible concentration that I can get. I don't want things getting out of hand." Drake replied as he waved his torch dramatically. "I hope you know that your torch is still on, right?" Allen asked. "Oops." Blake turned it off. His eyes went across to the figure that was trying t

The rules seemed pretty easy for Jane to follow and she found no fault in them so she agreed without hesitating. "Very well, then, you will go along with Xander to the theatre school later today. Leave everything for him to handle, just answer and fill in your information clearly."Allen carried his briefcase and was about to leave the toom when Jane stopped him. "Thank you for making this happen but can you spare me a bit of your time? I need to discuss something with you." She spoke and blinked her eyes every second trying to act very cutely. Allen stared at her and sighed.He had no reason he was completely adhering to what she says but he had discussed it with his grandmother yesternight and he made a promise to her under her persuasion to always give her a listening ear. "You have only five minutes." He replied. "Can you please allow me to perform my duty as your wife?" She asked gently and Allen's grip tightened around the suitcase. Even though he had imagined it cou

A few hours later, Xander and Jane went to one of the prestigious theatre schools in the City. Jane looked ecstatic and nervous as well since they left that morning. She was wondering how things would go for the day. She had called Charlotte before leaving to inform her of her move even though she kept asking Jane insignificant questions about Kyle in the process of their discussion. That reminded her about something. "Xander?" "Yes?" He responded. "I want to ask you something." "Yeah, sure, go ahead." He said as he turned the car slightly to the left to continue the journey. "It's about Kyle. What work does he gets involved with to be precise? Like his occupation?" "He is more or less an engineer. He is into building projects and construction of sites, yeah, something related to that. "Xander replied. "All right, thank you." "You are welcome."There was silence between them for a while until Jane decided to ask another question. "Do you have any idea if he

051. FIRST DAY IN SCHOOL.The days soon rolled by into a brand new week for everyone with different agendas in the Ryan family. Starting from Jane who had woken up as quickly as she could with great eagerness and delight for her new school like a child. She rushed to her room the next Monday morning to take a shower before putting on something decent that did not show or scream too much wealth but still one kind of expensive. Her mind lingered on the type of friends she was going to make.she knew not everyone would like her but at least, she would be able to explore the little world before her. She headed downstairs quickly after paying a visit to her brother and met Ben who was lost in thoughts."Good morning, Mr. Ben." She greeted. "Ha. Young Madam, good morning. I can see your mood is brightened up already for today." He smiled at her. He had always seen Jane as his daughter most times but didn't fail to give her accorded respect as his boss. "Yes. I feel so happy today beca

A young lady pulled her travel bag alongside a small one as she walked into the airport arena. She was dressed in leather black pants, a white crop top, and a long black leather jacket. She was wearing black fashionable boots and judging from her appearance, she looked like a mafia female boss.Two men walked to her and bowed. "Welcome back, young miss."Isabella removed her pair of glasses and looked at them. "We were sent here by Young Master Allen." One of the men said when he noticed her look. She nodded. "Let's leave." She ordered. They took her bags and put them into the trunk while the rest opened the car for her to enter and the cars prepared to leave.The people at the airport nevertheless took pictures of her and posted them on the media with the captions such as: #theryanprincessisback, #hot, #ohmygosh.Within a minute, the whole internet turned hot.

"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
