Chapter 31~ The confrontation

“Lawrence, take down the trending news right now,” Ryan ordered his assistant on the phone. He cut the call and drove to the Williams’ mansion. Although he had ordered the removal of the news, the damage had already been done. Anger that he could barely contain rushed through him.His heart clenched painfully, an ache that had become all too familiar every time he thought about his past. That night… he saw the warehouse explode before his eyes, enveloping Larisa and drowning her in a sea of fire. There was nothing left… No body, no bones… all that was left of his beloved wife were her ashes. She must have died resenting him, thinking he had abandoned her… Ryan blinked and a lone tear rolled down his cheek before he quickly wiped it away. He laughed at himself self-deprecatingly. He didn’t deserve to cry for her… not after he failed her. However, he wouldn’t let anyone drag her name through the mud. The least he could do was protect her memory. As he drove up the driveway leadin

Chapter 32~ The best

It was the weekend and Lora had just finished reviewing some reports in her study when her phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and a smile crossed her lips when she saw Jason’s name. “Hello, Jay,” Lora answered. “Hi, Lora… or should I say Miss L now since the cat is out of the bag?” Jason teased on the phone. “You keep being in the limelight and now, there’s no day that goes by without the media houses talking about the highly talented designer, Miss L. Perhaps I should be good to you in case meeting you becomes so hard in the future… You’re more popular than idol stars now.” “Oh, stop it, Jason,” Lora said but her voice was light with mirth. “You’re exaggerating! I can’t be more popular than idol stars.” “Are you sure?” Jason remarked. “I’m afraid you’re going to need security soon because a lot of your fans will be flocking to you for autographs. With that said… can I be the first in line? Can I have the honour of inviting the talented designer to lunch today? I’ll get your a

Chapter 33~ Marrying Ivy

Ivy’s hands trembled when she looked at the photos in her hands. Anger and hatred flashed through her eyes as she yelled, “No! No… it can’t be!”Her eyes were wide with shock as she went through the pictures. After realising she was losing Ryan to Lora, Ivy hired someone to follow Lora so that she could find out something she could use against her. However, what she received shocked her to the core when she saw photos of Lora with two children by her side. “Lora has kids?” She whispered to herself. Gulping air, she went through the photos again and studied the kids’ faces. The little girl resembled Lora, however, it was the little boy’s face that made Ivy’s heart sink. He looked so much like Ryan Kingsley. “What’s going on? How could Lora’s child look like Ryan? Unless…”“No! No, it must just be a coincidence!” Ivy squashed her thoughts immediately. She didn't want to think of the possibility. However, she couldn’t deny it… the evidence was right in her face. Both these kids had a

Chapter 34~ Trouble

“Grandpa, what’s going on? What’s the emergency?” Ryan asked worriedly when they got to Charles’ study. Charles cleared his throat. He sat back in his chair and said, “Before we get to that… there’s something I want to ask you. As Lora’s work partner, what do you think of her?” Ryan frowned, not knowing why his grandfather asked that question. He replied, “Lora’s very talented, Grandpa. Her skills are unlike anything I’ve ever seen before… It’s a pity our partnership ended, she would have been a great asset to our Jewelry company.” Charles studied his grandson, a knowing glint in his eyes. He knew his grandson so well and knew that Ryan was already seeing Lora in a new light, although Ryan himself was unaware of this.He smiled and remarked, “Knowing how it’s not easy to impress you, you must have a high opinion of Lora Davis for you to speak so highly of her.”Ryan shrugged and said, “Well, she’s good at what she does, Grandpa.” Charles let out a chuckle. He grinned and replied,

Chapter 35~ A scream

“Can you stop pestering me? So annoying!” Lora’s cold voice rang in Ryan’s mind and her harsh words kept replaying in his mind like a broken record. Her attitude confused Ryan to the core. He couldn’t take her off his mind. This was new to him, after all, he was used to women throwing themselves at him and no one had ever dared to reject him. Lora Davis being the exception. Ryan sighed internally as he swirled the amber liquid in his glass. He was seated on a leather couch in the VIP section of his club and soft music played in the background. After that call with Lora, he had been in a bad mood and needed a drink to calm down. “.... Davis’ daughter is so proud. She needs to be put in her place.” Ryan’s ears perked up when he heard that. His eyebrows creased as he turned his head to glance to the right side of the club. A few old men were playing pool while others sat on an L-shaped leather couch, smoking cigars and drinking expensive whiskey. ‘Davis’ daughter? Are they talking

Chapter 36~ His frustration

“Are you sure you received all the shipments for this month?” Lora asked one of the personnel at the port. She had received a lead earlier but it turned out to be a false lead. That was when she realised someone was deliberately trying to lead her in the opposite direction. So, she decided to go to the port and check for herself whether the shipment was missing or not. The personnel looked through his records and confirmed, “Yes, all the shipments arrived safely. None was lost at sea.” “Ok, did anyone from Davis & Co. sign a release document for shipment XXXXX?” Lora questioned seriously. The man appeared to hesitate. He gulped and said, “No, Ma’am. No one has signed yet. It seems they couldn’t find the shipment.”Lora frowned. “But you said all the shipment arrived.” “Yes… but yours mysteriously disappeared and no one signed for it,” the man said. “Ok… I’ll search for it myself,” Lora remarked, she was about to turn around when she heard a familiar voice. “Lora!” Lora froze wh

Chapter 37~ We are nothing

Ryan was about to reply but he paused when Lora’s words echoed in his mind. He smiled at Lora and asked, “Are you jealous?” “What?” Lora was bereft of any words, she stopped walking and glanced at Ryan in disbelief. How did he come up with that conclusion?"Well, you seem so angry that I have a fiancee... the only explanation is that you're jealous," Ryan said with a smirk. "You-" Lora glared at the man. Ryan’s smile only grew wider and Lora felt the need to correct him. She firmly said, “I’m not jealous! There’s no reason to be.”However, Ryan was convinced Lora was jealous. Why else would she be so angry that he was flirting with her when he had a fiancee?His heart felt light for some reason. He smiled and stated, “I’m taking you to the hospital for a checkup.”Before Lora could tell what was happening, she was swept off her feet. Being carried unexpectedly, she instinctively wrapped her arms around Ryan’s neck. When she realised what he had done, she began to kick her legs, dem

Chapter 38~ An apology

Meanwhile, Ivy's phone buzzed and she checked the message she had received. Her eyes turned vicious when she saw the photos on her phone. She dug her nails into her palms, anger bubbling up within her. The private investigator she had hired just sent her photos of Lora. However, she didn’t expect to see Ryan in those photos. ‘Ryan, why do you keep following Lora around? She’s not working with you anymore…’ Ivy thought in her mind. Deep down, she knew the reason Ryan couldn’t stay away from Lora. It was because Lora looked like his late wife. Perhaps like her, Ryan also wanted to confirm Lora’s identity. Ivy couldn’t have that. She had to find out before Ryan so that she could get rid of Lora and her kids. After enduring for many years, waiting for Ryan to finally marry her, Ivy wouldn’t give up so easily. Hatred flashed through her eyes as she muttered to herself, “I can’t afford to lose Ryan… Not to that bitch, Lora!” …The next day, Lora was in her office when Hannah knocked o

Chapter 39~ A proposal

Lora smiled in satisfaction when she saw Ivy’s red, angry face. When she heard that Ivy had gone to visit her, Lora instructed her assistant to call the reporters over. She knew Ivy only came to make trouble for her, so her plan was to beat Ivy at her own game. ‘Serves you right. Don’t think you can trick me with your innocent façade this time around,’ Lora said in her mind while the reporters took several pictures of them. Just like that, Lora and Ivy were making headlines together again. The internet was buzzing with news about how Ivy took the initiative to apologise and openly admit her plagiarism while others praised Lora for her humility. Later on, Lora was in her office, a smirk on her face as she read through the comments on some social media pages. “Congratulations Miss Davis for getting your most deserved apology! That woman used your designs to try and get you banned from the industry. Too bad you forgave her, she was supposed to pay!”“This is still good for Miss Davis

Chapter 40~ A kiss

Ryan had met his friend Adan to have a couple of drinks. He took that moment to ask about how the investigation was coming along. Adan shook his head and said, “Something feels fishy, bro. My men are good at finding out things… but this particular case has been difficult. We haven’t gotten any more news since last time.” Ryan narrowed his eyes. He recalled how Lora reacted each time he got close to her… it was almost like she was hiding something and was afraid he would find out. He took a sip of his wine and remarked, “Keep looking. Pump in more money if possible. I want to know everything there is to know about Lora Davis.” Adan nodded, knowing this was important to his friend. He took out his phone and began to scroll through his social media when he came across a piece of news. His eyes widened in shock. “Oh shit.” Ryan glanced at him lazily and asked, “What is it? One of your women again?” “No, man… I don’t know if I should show you this,” Adan remarked. “Why? Does it have
