Chapter 41~ Playboy

“Girl, congratulations on your victory! You won the first round,” Bianca Jones told Lora as they sat in their favorite eating place. Lora smiled faintly. She remarked, “I did… it felt good to put Ivy in her place.” Bianca smiled and paused when the waiter brought their food and drinks. When he was done serving, she took out her phone and took pictures. “This looks good, I need to post this on my ins-ta-gram since I’m this restaurant's brand ambassador,” Bianca said and Lora chuckled. Bianca was from a wealthy family but she wasn’t interested in her family’s business. She loved being a social media influencer, so she vlogged almost every detail of her life. When Bianca finished taking pictures, she put her phone aside and remarked, “I loved seeing the news of Ivy’s public apology. Her face looked like she had constipation with that fake smile of hers, haha!” Lora nodded and replied in a low voice, her mind seeming to be wandering elsewhere, “Mmmm, that’s true. She didn’t expect to

Chapter 42~ A date

At Lora’s apartment, the twins had knocked off from school and were in the playroom. Ethan sighed when he saw the news on his tablet. He shook his head and clicked his tongue before saying, “Daddy is so dumb. He let Mommy go to someone else.”Ella pouted. She looked at her brother and asked, “Is Mommy going to marry Uncle Jason? Does this mean we will grow up without a Daddy?”“Uncle Jason is not bad. He loves Mommy and since he’s the one Mommy wants to marry, we have no choice but to accept him as our Daddy,” Ethan reasoned with his younger sister. Ella’s eyes brimmed with tears and her lower lip quivered. She said, “But I want Uncle rich and handsome to be my Daddy.” “Ella, the man who Mommy loves will be our Daddy-”“No! I want the handsome Uncle. I like him even if he’s dumb,” Ella protested and tears rolled down her cheeks. Ethan felt bad for his younger sister. He leaned over and wiped her tears, saying, “Don’t cry, Ella. Such a crybaby. Don’t worry, I saw Daddy kiss Mommy la

Chapter 43~ Stalker

Ivy dug her nails into her palms, gritting her teeth. She forced a smile at Lora and replied, “Thank you, Miss Davis… that’s so kind of you. However, Ryan has been looking for the best doctor for me… I’m sure he will arrange one for me soon. Thanks for the concern though.” Lora nodded. She already knew that Ivy would reject her offer, but the way Ivy’s face drained of colour when she mentioned treating her legs made Lora squint her eyes in suspicion. Why did she become anxious when Lora mentioned introducing her to experts? It was also strange that Ryan had failed to find an expert to treat Ivy after all these years. The man could move mountains for Ivy, so why did it take so long to find the right treatment for her?Could it be there was more to Ivy’s condition than meets the eye?Lora shook her head and thought, ‘Why am I even thinking about this? It doesn’t have anything to do with me.’ She didn’t want to have anything to do with Ryan or Ivy ever again. Being entangled with the

Chapter 44~ Found a way

Ryan stepped into the private room at the restaurant and frowned at the unexpected crowd seated around the table. He glanced at his father, Miles Kingsley, with a questioning gaze. “What’s this, Dad? You said you wanted to meet me for lunch to discuss something. What's with the crowd?” Miles stared at his son and pointed at the seat opposite him. He replied, “Take a seat son. We are all here to discuss your engagement ceremony with Ivy.” Ryan clenched his hands into fists and his jaw clenched as anger bubbled up within him. It seemed his father had tricked him into a meeting with the least people he wanted to see. Ivy sat next to the empty chair that was meant for Ryan while his stepmother and stepsister sat next to his father. He furrowed his eyebrows and said firmly. “I can’t discuss the ceremony without my grandfather.” Hearing that, Miles couldn’t help but get angry. He looked like a pressure cooker that was about to explode as he questioned, “Son, do you undermine my authorit

Chapter 45~ An invitation

A few days later at Davis & Co. “Miss Davis, Mr Kingsley is here to see you,” Hannah reported through the intercom. Lora frowned. ‘Ryan is here? What does he want now?’ “Has he told you what he wants?” Lora asked. She wasn’t in the mood to entertain Ryan. “He said it’s about the upcoming jewelry launch party,” Hannah reported. Lora bit her lower lip. She replied, “Let him through.” Since she had promised to help with the project, she couldn’t send Ryan back if he was here to talk about work. A few minutes later, Ryan walked into Lora’s office and took a seat opposite her. He glanced at Lora and his heart skipped a beat. He always felt she looked attractive when working. She wore a pastel pink feminine suit with her dark brown hair was left to flow on one side of her shoulder. “How can I help you, Mr Kingsley?” Lora asked, very aware of Ryan’s heated gaze on her. Why was he looking at her like that?Ryan blinked to clear his head. He said, “I’ve been preparing the launch party

Chapter 46~ A dress

Days came and went and soon, it was the day before the launch party. “Are you ready for tomorrow?” Jason asked Lora on the phone. As per tradition, Jason had called Lora before her bedtime. Lora bit her lower lip before replying, “I am kind of nervous.” “Really? I never expected you to be nervous when everyone praises your work,” Jason remarked. Lora let out a sigh and said, “It’s like that with artists. We always doubt ourselves no matter how good one is… there’s always that anxiousness about whether people will like our work or not. I have confidence in my work, but I can’t help but be anxious about everyone’s reaction to it. Of course, I know not everyone would be a fan of my work and that’s understandable. We all have different tastes but that doesn’t mean negative comments don’t get to me.” “You’re only human, my love,” Jason replied. "Your skills are exceptional. You don't have to worry." “Yes but I just can’t help but be nervous,” Lora murmured. “Well, for me, I can’t wa

Chapter 47~ The lucky lady

Time flew by in the blink of an eye and the night of the launch party finally arrived. The hall at one of the biggest hotels in the city was decorated in golds and dark greens. Chandeliers with dangling crystals hang from the ceiling, casting a mesmerising golden glow over the place. Lora smiled at the man beside her and hooked her arm to his when they arrived at the venue. The moment the two of them stepped through the double golden doors, silence fell over the place and all eyes turned towards them. “I think Miss L just made a grand entrance,” Jason remarked as he led Lora inside. Almost everyone was looking at Lora in awe. She looked so breath-taking in the one-shoulder sapphire gown she wore that fit her like a glove. It had a thigh-high split with a corset bodice, shaping her figure. Her hair was styled in a slick low bun, her face glowing with light makeup and a daring cherry red lipstick. People couldn’t help but greet and compliment Lora about her work. “Miss L, I’m so

Chapter 48~ The dance

Lora tried to hide her card when she saw the number but someone had already seen it. “We have a winner here! Miss L is the winner!” One of the ladies shouted excitedly. All eyes, including Ryan’s, turned to look at Lora, putting her in the spotlight. The host smiled and said, “Miss Davis, you have to dance with Mr Kingsley since he picked your number.” Ryan got down the stage and approached Lora. When he reached her, he held out his hand and remarked, “I may have picked your number but since I’m a gentleman, I’ll ask you to dance. May I have this dance, Miss Davis?” Gasps echoed around the place as women fanned themselves. Ryan looked so hot as he asked Lora to dance. “Congratulations on winning, Miss Davis. You’re so lucky!” Someone said. Lora frowned internally. Lucky? More like cursed. Why would Ryan pick her number out of all the ladies who were in the hall?She looked up at Ryan and her heart skipped a beat. She had to admit he looked handsome. He was handsome… However, th

Chapter 49~ The showcase

Lora blinked, looking into Ryan’s eyes.Did he know something? Could Ivy have told him the truth?‘No… Ivy wouldn’t tell Ryan about what she discovered about me,’ Lora mused. Before Lora could react or respond, Ryan let go of her before walking up the stage. He took the microphone from the host and announced, “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.” At the sound of Ryan’s voice, the crowd fell silent and turned to glance at him on the stage. Ryan smiled and said, “Thank you all for coming… LAN’s Luxurious Jewelry is special to me and I would love to see it grow and become successful.” He searched for Lora in the crowd and when his eyes found her, he smiled and added, “It’s now time for the big reveal… our production team was able to bring Miss L’s vision into reality and I hope they did justice to her beautiful designs.”“Now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Miss L’s collection!”While everyone was wondering when they would brin

Chapter 50~ Fate

Lora got down the stage, her smile reaching her eyes as everyone complimented her work. Indeed of all the things that had happened to her, this was her proudest moment. Although she had failed in love, she had succeeded in being a mother and nurturing her talent. Seeing everyone so happy and willing to spend millions of dollars because of her work made her chest fill with pride. As the crowd spread out to mingle and eat, Lora looked for her best friend who just came to join them in the hall. When their eyes met, Bianca squealed and rushed to her friend before giving her a hug. “You look gorgeous, my friend! This dress looks good on you.” Lora sighed and replied, “I thought I looked good too until I knew where the dress came from.” Bianca’s eyes widened and Lora pulled her to the side where it was quieter. “Are you saying Jason got you the dress?” Bianca asked. "That's so romantic!"“No… I thought It was Jason but turns out it was Ryan,” Lora replied, her eyebrows creasing. Bianc
