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. Who didn't know Isabella Ryan? The one who landed several projects and movies for the entertainment industry within
Jane was suddenly nervous, well she had to be. She was Allen's doted sister as she had heard from Bert's blabberinġ mouth. if she didn't like her just like her parents then she wasn't by anyway welcomed into their midst.She quickly discarded the thought and focused on Mirabel who was busy munching away her cookies. "Mirabel, why did you suddenly approach me?" She asked. "Why? Didn't you want a friend?" Mirabel asked back. "No. no. that's not the issue. It's been a while someone you know. I don't have îriends except my bestie so..." Jane was strugglinġ to find the right words to say. "I know, Jane. As lonġ as you are here. you are bound to meet new people and make friends so don't worry. When I saw you, like you and wanted to be your îriend so here I am, being your friend." Mirabel smiled. "That is good. We will get to know each other better and you will explain the school's standards to me either today or tomorrow." Jane replied cheerfuly and they both fists bumped.
Old Madam Ryan looked so calm as she stared at the opposite genders in front of her. Paul was standing behind her as usual. Charlotte was nervous, why was she called here in the first place? She was sitting in front of the Matriarch of the Ryan family for the second time and she did not know why while Bert just looked around and made himself comfortable.Old Madam Ryan cleared her throat and Charlotte blinked. "I called you both here for a very important meeting that can benefit Allen and Jane. " She started. Charlotte looked at Bert and then at the Madam. "Allen and Jane?" Charlotte asked and Madam Ryan nodded. "But first, I need you to tell me everything that you know had been going on between the two. If we are to bring them closer, this is going to be great for them. I believe that they are made for each other and until we bring them closer, fate might take a U-turn in slowing the process." She spoke. Bert smiled and sat up. "Are you into this with me?" She asked them
"Hmm, you should relax, Isabella. Wewill see and talk tomorrow. No problem... goodnight." Allen ended the call when Jane walked in. She closed the door and stood in front of him with a plate of fruits and another plate of meals. "Hi." She greeted gently. "Hmm." "Mr. Ben told me that you are yet to have dinner and judging this by the time, it's not too late to have one." "So you are here to force me to eat? " "No, I am here to persuade you instead. It's something that I have noticed among yourselves, you rarely follow the protocol of eating thrice when it is surplus for you to eat from. Here, I prepared noodles instead and these are fruits to go along with it. " Sheplaced the meal in front of him nervously. She was doing this with her heart in her mouth. Allen just stared at the mysterious woman before him.Jane sat beside him and lifted the plate. She picked the fork, dipped it into the noodles, and turned it around, sticking a few together before raising it to his m
It was the long recess for the students of Lily theatre nd art school [LTA]. They headed to the cafeteria. It was a huge place that was subdivided into two, one for the higher-ups and the other one for the... well, those considered as the middle class. Mirabel was with Jane and on getting to the place, she looked at Jane doubtfully which did not go unnoticed by her. "What is wrong?" "I don't know...I mean, where will you like to sit?" Mirabel asked. Jane looked at her confusingly. "The cafeteria is divided into two for the students. One for the higher-ups and the other for people like us." "I am still not getting your point. How does that relate to me?" Mirabel sighed. "I saw the car that dropped you off this morning and the way you came out, someone opened it for you and he didn't seem like your boyfriend. To add to that, that car is quite expensive which means you aren't ordinary, that was why I asked. " Mirabel caused Jane to laugh. "You're quite an observer, Mirab
"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
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
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
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.
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."
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
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
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
"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
