Slowly, Lisa moved closer to him, to the grave, and read what was written on it."Ellen Swift, we love you"She tilted her head and looked at the quiet Ricardo who was standing next to her.His blue eyes, which were fixed on the name that was embedded in the grave, were calm and sad at the same time, and that raised a billion questions about the identity of the woman and who she was to Ricardo, to start racing through Lisa's head.She heaved a sigh in order to get Ricardo's attention.Ricardo gave her a questioning look."I guess she was a nice person," she said, and fixed her eyes on his.Ricardo's eyes twinkled for a microsecond, and Lisa would have missed it if her eyes hadn't been fixed on his. Ricardo took his eyes off hers and went back to looking at the name on the grave without saying a word.Lisa addedRelated chapters

"Who was that guy?" Summer asked the second Lisa was inside their joint sitting room."Who?" Lisa inquired, as if she had no idea what Summer was on about.Summer raised her eyelids and gave Lisa a questioning look before replying. "Who was the guy who just gave you a ride?"Lisa shrugged one shoulder and replied. "Just a guy you don't have to worry about."After replying, Lisa moved her feet and started heading to her room before Summer's words stopped her.Summer scoffed, adjusted her sitting position on their worn out couch, and said. "Did you spend the night with him?""No," Lisa replied, without turning around. She knew where this conversation was heading, and she didn't like it one bit. She hated it when Summer played detective on her.Summer rose up and began to move towards her with a thick folded paper in her hand. She raised the paper and said, "Then, explain to me how this was still betweenthe doors when I came back."

"What are you doing here?" a familiar voice said coldly behind Lisa.Lisa shivered as she turned around and looked at Ricardo, who was walking up to her.She had been standing in front of his room for the past forty-five minutes, shouting and knocking on his door with the thought that Ricardo was inside the room but didn't just want to answer her."I'm..." She trailed off as her eyes made contact with his blazing blue eyes and she took her eyes off him as fast as possible in order to avoid being burned."Waiting for you," she said while looking down.Ricardo halted in front of her, used his right hand to slowly raise her head.An undeniable electricity shot through Lisa as his hand made contact with her skin and her legs wobbled."Waiting for me?" Ricardo chuckled as he made her look into his eyes. "You're are very funny kid"Lisa's eyebrows knitted together, and she said. "I'm not a kid."Ricardo acted surprised and gave her a ridi

Ricardo sat at the head of the table in his apartment inside his father's house, listening to what Ellen was saying from the kitchen."What do you think about us going to Australia this summer?" She said.That voice was everything to Ricardo. It was the most beautiful voice he had ever heard, and it belonged to the most beautiful woman, who turned out to be his fiancee."Yesterday, you were talking about China," Ricardo said."True, I don't know which one we should go to, "Ricardo smiled. "Tell me once you've come to a decision."The next second, Ricardo heard a baby's cries. He looked down at his hands and smiled at his mini, who was in need of his mother's attention."Babe" Ricardo called."Give me two minutes," Ellen replied.In order to calm the baby down, Ricardo rose to his feet and started walking around the room with the baby on his chest.The baby cried out louder, and Ellen ran into the room with a tray in her hand. She pu

Knock, knock.Ricardo rose to his feet and walked to the door, and with the thought that the person knocking on the door was Lisa, he ignored the peephole.Those hours he had spent with Lisa were the best hours he had had in ten years, even though he wasn't going to accept it and he had been longing for her presence ever since the second he came back into his empty hotel room.He heaved a sigh, relaxed himself, and opened the door, but when a pair of familiar blue eyes met his, his eyes turned glassy, his jaw tightened, and he clenched his fists in case he needed to defend himself, but when he looked around and realized that none of the man's bodyguards was with him, he unclenched his fists."What are you doing here?" He asked in a quiet but cold voice."Ric," Mr. Desmond Kincaid called."I don't ever want to see you here again," Ricardo said, and was about to close the door when his father's voice stopped him."I'm sorry," Mr. Desmond Kincaid said

Mr. Harry Byers turned out to be the douchebag that Lisa had thought he was, and he used every single chance he had to tease and taunt her.Today was Lisa's third day at Megabiz Inc.and she was already thinking of quitting."Lisa!" Mr. Harry Byers shouted from the next office.Lisa heaved a deep sigh and rolled her eyes annoyingly before rising to her feet. She walked to his office and said,as professional as you can be. "Here I am, sir.""I need another coffee," Mr. Harry said, with his eyes on the file in front of him.Lisa's lips partly opened and she tried to control her anger.Mr. Harry Byers's favorite coffee shop was fifteen minutes away by car from Megabiz Inc, and Mr. Byers sent her there at least three times a day.Mr. Harry Byers raised his head and looked at Lisa, who was still standing in front of him, and said, "And what are you still waiting for?""Nothing, sir. I will be on my way now, " she replied, turning a

Thankfully, Lisa was allowed to leave the office at 5:00 pm, prompt by her boss, who had been overworking her since her first day on the job, because of the handing over ceremony that would take place inside the Megabiz Inc. hall at 7:00 pm that evening.She enthusiastically packed her stuff and left the office, hailing a taxi, pulling her phone from her bag, and dialing Summer's number for confirmation.She said, "Hey."Summer replied, "Hey babe.""Are you going to be home this evening?""Yeah. I'm on my way back home."Lisa let out a long sigh." I have something to tell you, and I also need your help with something""Does that have anything to do with your boss?" Summer inquired, concerned.As the picture of Mr. Byers appeared in Lisa's vision, she rolled her eyes irritably and replied. "No. It's not about him. It's about someone else.""Okay, so male or female? Summer teased."At home, bye," Lisa said, cutting Summer off and hangi

Mr. Byers unwittingly dropped his wineglass and Lisa's hand, his eyes widening in terror, and he nearly peed his trousers.Lisa smiled at Ricardo despite the fact that she knew he wouldn't return her smile.Ricardo's blue eyes were as cold as usual, and his posture spoke volumes about his strength.Ricardo, unlike everyone else, was dressed in a crazy Jean trouser and a black top.Lisa's grin deepened as she gazed at the man-god who approached her, grabbed her hand, and began guiding her to one of the front tables.Mr. Byers was back to himself after a few seconds and stared curiously at the back view of the unusual man who had invited Lisa to such a huge occasion."Brother!" An extremely beautiful woman cried as she ran up to Ricardo and Lisa, and despite Ricardo's coldness, she hugged him tightly. "You came. I thought you wouldn't""Susan, how are you?" Ricardo said as he pulled himself out of her embrace.Susan looked at him and smile

Lisa motioned to the nearby waiter. The waiter dashed over to her table and poured her a another glass of wine.Lisa thanked the waiter, "Thank you."The waiter locked his gaze on Lisa before responding with his shit-eating grin. "Anytime."Ricardo coughed loudly to draw the waiter's attention. And when his eyes met Ricardo's icy blue eyes, the waiter's smile faded and he nearly dropped the tray in his hands. But, fortunately for him, he was able to control himsy and quickly scrambled away.Lisa took a sip of her drink and turned to face Ricardo, who was oblivious to her presence. She swallowed her saliva as she studied his sharp jaw-line, very pointed nose, and lip as pink as a garden rose, because the man was nothing short of a man-god who didn't even realize how perfect he was."Now, let's welcome..." the man on the podium said, "MR. Desmond Kincaid!"As Mr. Desmond Kincaid walked to the podium, waving his hand, everyone rose to their feet, including

Ricardo opened his mouth as he focused his hard gaze on Susan and stated, "Apologies, baby sister, but I'm afraid I can't let this go. I can't fucking let this go!"He walked out of the room without looking back and neither was he aware of Lisa running after him. He slid inside his car and as he was ready to start his car, the passenger's door opened and Lisa slipped inside the car."You should have stayed with her." He said as he started the car and accelerated out of the parking lot."I... I want..." Lisa stumbled over her words, unsure of what to say."You don't trust me?""I trust you but... you are upset right now and I'm afraid you might hurt him.""No one, not even you, can stop me from hurting him.""Ricardo.""Now is not the time to Ricardo me.""No one, including you and Susan, will benefit from your being imprisoned. Neither Susan nor I want that for you, and I'm sure you don't want that for yourself either."Ricardo said as he slowed his car

"Can you tell me what's going on?" Lisa questioned, her brows raised in concern."Susan is at the hospital," he said as he turned to face her. "I'm sure the news came as a shock to her."Lisa sighed, gently pushed herself out of bed, and said. "I'll go with you.""But...""Shhhh...I've got this." With a shrug of her shoulder, "I'm strong enough to even go back home. I'm not sure why they haven't discharged me yet."She walked up to Summer and gave her a bear embrace. "Thank you for everything you've done. I love you."Summer wrapped her in a bear hug, tears welling up in her eyes as she did. "I love you as well.""You should go home right now; I'll come around when I'm strong enough."Summer smiled cautiously and nodded.≈"I'm here to see Susan Kincaid." To the nurse in charge, Ricardo said.The nurse looked down at the computer in front of her, typed in a few letters, then looked up.Ricardo and Lisa hurriedly board

Timothy Freeman slid open the van door, nodded to his colleagues, who were still seated in the car, put on a wireless earpiece, and closed the van after getting a text from Mr. Kim a few minutes earlier.One of Timothy Freeman's coworkers had already hacked the neighborhood's CCTV cameras, and they all watched as Timothy Freeman, with the help of Mr. Kim, entered the Kincaid's property.Two minutes later, Timothy Freeman was in front of Ricardo's apartment, and cracking Ricardo's password was not a difficult task for him.He walked in and went right to the kitchen, taking out all the cups and putting two drops of an unknown drug into each one before putting them back in their places.Then he went into the dining room, where he placed a camera in a flower vase that was strategically placed in one corner of the room before heading out the door.He and his team had been waiting all day and were overjoyed when Ricardo and Ellen started eating, but they stopped s

Ricardo connected his chilly, melancholy, and curious eyes with Mr. Wu's as he entered his hotel room and said. "What exactly were you talking about?"Getting to his feet, Mr. Adrian Wu headed toward the corner of his room where a board had been set up with many photographs pinned to it and numerous drawn arrows connecting one picture to the next.He pointed to a picture of a man with an extremely flat jawline, beady eyes, and a straight mouthache and said, "Him."Ricardo looked at the man with a look of complete incredulity on his face and said, "Go straight to the point, Adrian.""This investigation is just as important to you as it is to me. I've been working nonstop on this case, depriving myself of sleep, food, and the pleasures of women. I've been working on this case for 10 years in the hopes of discovering what I've been missing, and just a few months ago, I began an even more thorough investigation into him.""Kim?"Mr. Wu replied with a nod of

When Timothy arrived at the port, he quickly packed his truck, grabbed his small bag, and got out of the car, praying that he hadn't made a mistake.After completing all boarding procedures, he began walking towards the ship, completely unaware that a man in black was keeping an eye on him.With lightning speed, the man in black went closer to Timothy and pulled a small, sharp knife that looked like a pen, cutting through his stomach in a single motion.Timothy Freeman felt a searing pain in his stomach, and he immediately put his hands on it, attempting to figure out what was wrong."Blood," he mumbled as he looked down at his hands, which were covered in his own blood.His legs began to shake and his vision grew blurry as he looked around, attempting to figure out who had done this to him while wincing in pain.Within seconds, he was on his knees, grasping his stomach, and he couldn't make out any more images.No! In fear of dying, he thought. Tr

Standing in front of room 304, Lisa breathed a deep sigh, not trying to grimace in pain as she did.She took a few seconds to read the number on the door before deciding to knock.Knock. Knock.No one answered, but she got a strong feeling that someone was inside the room, so she knocked again.Ricardo walked up to the door and peered through the peep hole to see who was knocking. When he realized who it was, a wave of rage swept through him, and he opened the door."What are you doing here?" As soon as he stepped through the door, he asked coldly.Lisa flinched as Ricardo's cold blue eyes met hers, and she immediately summoned her stubborn side to take control.Her stubborn side suddenly took over, shrugging away all the coldness in Ricardo's eyes."To talk to you Mr. CEO." She replied."I don't want to talk to you.""However," she said, raising the envelope in her hand, "I want to talk to you about this.""You still need to be

Two days later, Lisa sluggishly opened her eyes, scanning her surroundings to ascertain her whereabouts, and Summer's face began to take shape in her vision.When she saw Summer, she immediately thought to herself, "I'm dreaming." Because the last time she and Summer had seen or talked to each other was the day she and Summer had clashed over Ricardo's true identity."Summer?" She spoke gently to the laughing figure in her vision."Yeah." Summer replied, heavinga relived sigh. "It's me, Lisa. How are you feeling? Let me go get the doctor."She grabbed Summer's wrist before she could walk away and asked weakly. "What is going on? Where am I?""It's a long story but thank Heavens you're alive. Let me go and get the doctor.""Doctor? Where am I?" She questioned again, looking around the room."In a hospital." Summer replied while attempting to walk away."Am I about to give birth?"Summer's heart sank when she heard this, and she had t

Ricardo hailed a cab and made his way to the local police station. The police were taken aback when they saw him, but they sent him to the interrogation room, not as a suspect but as a witness. A few hours later, after answering all of their questions and without leaving any stone unturned, he walked out the door of the police station and headed straight to his apartment, which was cordoned off by yellow police tapes.He stepped into their bedroom, avoided glancing at their bed, and then picked up his phone and debit card before walking to his garage.He slipped into one of his cars and sped out, all the while dialing a phone number."Hello." Into the phone, a feminine voice said."I'm Ricardo." He stated, his voice as icy as ever.For a few seconds, there was a long, awkward pause before the feminine voice replied. "Yes?""Your friend is sick. She's at a hospital." He answered."What have you done to her?" The feminine voice asked, her loathing fo

Ricardo gently opened his eyes and looked around the room, trying to make sense of what was going on and forcing the awful dream he had just had to the back of his mind with the thought that he would not allow anything bad to happen to Lisa, at least not while he was still breathing.Someone by his side sighed in relief, and he tilted his head in the direction of the sound."Thank Goodness he is still alive." The voice said as his gaze met Mrs. Kincaid's face, who was clearly the owner of the voice. "Ah...Ric, thank Goodness you're still alive."Ricardo's brows knit together and he opened his lips as his eyes were drawn to a bag of blood on a dripstand that was being connected to his left hand. "What am I doing here?"Mrs. Kincaid sighed heavily, tears in her eyes, and she said. "Thank your lucky stars that you're still alive. I was beginning to believe I'd lost you.""You're not answering my question. What exactly am I doing in a hospital? Where is Lisa? Wh
