View MoreLater in the evening at the Kingsley mansion. Miles narrowed his eyes at Celeste as she walked into their room. It had been a long day of trying to convince the shareholders that the company wasn’t going to go bankrupt after the news of Ryan’s illness was exposed. Although he and Charles had a hard time, they still managed to convince the board for the time being. However, the stock price kept dropping with some of their partners pulling out of the deal, worrying about the future of the projects if the leader of the group wasn’t going to live long. “Why did you do that? Did you think Jason would become CEO if you exposed Ryan’s illness?” Miles questioned, anger flickering through his eyes. Celeste’s smile froze, “Miles, honey, what do you mean?”“Drop the act, Celeste,” Miles snapped. “Have you been pretending to be nice all this time? How dare you expose our family secret like that knowing what impact it would have on the company? How dare you use my son’s illness to get what y
Celeste Anderson Kingsley hid a smirk as cameras flashed before her taking pictures and videos of her. It was the myelodysplastic syndromes world awareness day and she volunteered to be interviewed as a parent whose son was suffering from the rare disease. The host glanced at her and remarked, “Mrs Kingsley, I must applaud you for doing this. I’m sure it’s not easy.” Celeste wiped a fake tear from the corner of her eyes and sniffed before saying, “It’s not easy to come out in the open and talk about this. However, today, I want to use my family’s story to encourage someone who’s going through the same situation.”The host nodded. She glanced down at her script and asked, “So, you mentioned your son has cancer and has only a few months left to live, which one among your two sons has this illness and how are you coping as a family?”Celeste glanced at the camera, the look on her face sad as she announced, “It’s with deep sadness that I announce that Ryan Kingsley, the current CEO of
Miles Kingsley gulped and buried his face in his hands as he struggled to suppress his frustration and guilt. He reflected on how he had lived his life so far. How did he end up being distant from his son? When Ryan’s mother was alive, they used to live as one happy family. Ryan was free and always talked to him about anything. What led to them being this far apart and yet, they were father and son?After hearing the news of Ryan’s illness, Miles regretted a lot of things. He should have spent more time with Ryan. Even when he become rebellious, he shouldn’t have ignored him thinking he was just being a spoilt brat. Perhaps if he did that, Ryan would have felt safe to tell him about his diagnosis. “I'm so sorry, Ryan,” Miles said, his voice hoarse as tears streamed down his cheeks. “You must have hated me all this while. Instead of being your father, I spent the rest of the time finding faults in you.” Ryan’s heart clenched when he saw how his father reacted to the news. He sai
David Williams was confused when his security told him that a woman was there to see him. He wasn't expecting anyone at that time, so he wondered who it could be. When he allowed them to let her through, his eyes widened when he saw none other than Celeste Anderson Kingsley, Miles Kingsley's wife.He was shocked to see her at his house. They hadn’t met in private for so many years now after a certain incident. David sighed, gesturing for her to take a seat across from him in his study. “What makes you think it’s going to work this time?” David asked, looking at Celeste. "Ryan isn't easy to defeat." Celeste smirked. She crossed her legs and said, “By tomorrow, something will happen that will give us an opportunity to get rid of the Kingsley group. I want you to buy into the group but my son should be made the CEO once it becomes yours.”David’s eyes widened again. He had a question mark on his face as he uttered, “What do you mean? Do you know how much the Kingsley Group is worth? W
“Doctor Steve, how’s my husband?” Lora asked anxiously, her eyes falling on Ryan who was lying on the bed in the VIP ward. “Don’t worry, Mrs Kingsley. He’s alright, he just had a brief fainting episode since he hasn’t had enough rest in the last forty-eight hours,” Doctor Steve replied. “You did well to bring him here though… it could have been serious.” Relief washed over Lora at the doctor’s words and she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. When Ryan lost consciousness in the restaurant, Lora called her security team for help to take him to the hospital. The moment they arrived, he was rushed to the ER and Lawrence informed Doctor Steve who came over to attend to Ryan. After a series of tests, Ryan was transferred to a VIP ward to be monitored. “Thank you so much for the quick response, Doctor,” Lora replied. “But, why isn’t he waking up if he’s ok?” “That’s because he’s sleeping,” the doctor said. “What?” Lora’s eyes widened. She asked, “Are you sure, Doctor? He
Lora froze, her hands which Ryan was holding trembling in his hold. The restaurant was warm but the warmth did nothing to defrost the icy reality that had just been laid bare. A chill ran down her spine, making her blood run cold. Was Ryan really dying?She stared at him, her lips parting but no words came out of her mouth. Her mind was spinning with several thoughts. A thousand emotions rushed into her at once- anger and devastation.“Lora-”“Ryan… how could you think like that?” She managed to whisper although her voice was shaking. “Why would you throw away your life like it was nothing?” “Back then, my life was nothing without you in it,” Ryan admitted. “Everything felt meaningless. I was consumed by guilt and regret. I had to make it right somehow. Although my death couldn’t bring you back, I knew I would join you and make it up to you in the afterlife.” “Make it up to me?” Lora repeated, her voice rising and raw with emotion. “Did you ever sit to think if I would have wante
Lora’s eyes rounded at Ryan, her heart sinking to her feet. “W-what do you mean by that?” She asked in a shaky voice. “Are you sick?” Ryan gulped, a guilty look crossing his face as he answered, “Unfortunately, yes, I am. Before I knew you were alive, I was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome. It’s a rare blood disorder- it’s a disease that’s eating away at my ability to produce healthy blood cells-”“Wait,” Lora interrupted, her face turning pale. “Are you saying you’ve been sick all this while and you didn’t think of telling me?” “I…” Ryan trailed, not knowing what to say. “I didn’t want to burden you with my problems, Lora. I honestly thought I was going to get cured. We had found a donor for the stem cells. I would have told you before doing the transplant but… I received a call from my doctor two days ago that the donor was missing.” ##Flashback to two days ago.##Ryan sat in the oncologist, Doctor Steve’s office, feeling dejected after hearing the news of the missing dono
“Uncle, help me look for my husband,” Lora asked Aiden Davis when she walked into his office. Aiden arched an eyebrow. He hadn’t been expecting his niece, but seeing her look so anxious made him worried. “Don’t tell me he’s already cheating on you,” he said. “No, Uncle… Ryan would never,” Lora stated, pacing back and forth in the office. "I haven't seen him in two days. I have a bad feeling about this. He’s avoiding me and I feel like something serious has happened. I need to find him and talk to him.” “Perhaps he just wants time to sort himself out…” Aiden remarked. “He will come to you when he’s ready-”“And when would that be? What if I go crazy from being anxious and worried? I need to talk to him and find out what the problem is… he’s my partner,” Lora remarked, her stomach twisting and turning. “How can I ignore my husband when he's not acting like himself?” Just like the other night, Ryan returned home very late the previous night. He slept next to Lora and left before she
“Mommy, why is Daddy not home yet?” Ella asked as they had dinner. “I thought we would eat together now that we are a complete family.” They had been waiting for Ryan for close to an hour but he hadn’t shown up, so they proceeded to eat without him. Lora pursed her lips, looking at her watch. Ryan had promised to always be home for dinner, so she was wondering where he was. She had tried to call him but her calls went unanswered. ‘Is he ok?’ Lora asked herself, worry creeping into her. However, she didn’t show it on her face and smiled at the kids before saying, “I heard there was an emergency meeting earlier today… your father is caught up with work. He will be here soon.” “Ella, Daddy runs a big company, so he’s a busy man. Don’t worry, he will join us for dinner tomorrow,” Ethan told Ella. Ella nodded and smiled, “Ok… I can wait till tomorrow.”After dinner, Lora tried to call Ryan again, however, her call was redirected to voicemail. She furrowed her eyebrows, wondering wha
“Congratulations, you're pregnant!” Larisa seemed a little absent-minded tonight... all she could think about was what the doctor had said to her that afternoon. "What are you thinking about?” Ryan asked as he unbuttoned his shirt. Looking at Ryan's sexy chest, Larisa blushed. They had been married for three years, but every time she saw Ryan's nakedness, Larisa couldn’t help but be shy. Without waiting for Larisa's answer, Ryan turned and went to take a shower. When she heard the shower go on, Larisa opened the drawer and pulled out a pregnancy test report.In the afternoon, she had gone to the hospital because she was unwell. She thought it was an ordinary stomach ache, but the doctor told her that she was pregnant. Finally, after three years of trying, she was finally going to have a baby!She beamed and held the report to her chest as she waited for her husband to finish his shower.They had been married for three years, however, their marriage remained a secret to the outsi
