When Ivy was being taken to the police station, her blood was boiling with anger. âHow dare they do this to me?â She mused in her mind. Tonight was supposed to be special⌠everything got ruined because of Lora. That woman is like a pest who just couldnât stay dead! How lucky was that bitch that every time she tried to kill her, she always survived?Ivy clenched her hands into fists, glaring at the cuffs on her wrists. âI canât go to jail. Not when Lora is still alive. I wonât allow her to be happy with Ryan.â A thought suddenly occurred to her and she looked at the two officers in front of the car before saying, âOfficer, I would like to use the restroom.â The officer turned to glance at Ivy through the bars. He scoffed and said, âYou hold it in.â Ivy frowned, biting her lip. She had to make them stop for her plan to work. âPlease⌠Iâm so pressed. I took some alcohol. I might end up peeing in your car,â Ivy remarked, using her most mastered pitiful voice. âBesides, just because

âAre you sure about this, sweetheart?â Freya Davis asked Lora. âYou donât need to be forced to introduce the twins to him⌠the Davis family is very much capable of raising them and theyâve been doing fine without the help of the Kingsleys.â Lora smiled, warmth spreading through her heart at her motherâs words. She glanced at the twins who were waiting in the living room and sighed. âI know, Mom. But⌠Ryan is their father. I think itâs only right that they get to know who their father is,â Lora replied. âRyan also deserves to be part of their lives if he wants to.â Since Ivy Williams was now a fugitive of the law, Lora and Ryan agreed that he would meet the children from the Davis mansion. Ryan had deployed a full security team to surround the Davis mansion. No one was allowed to go in and out without clearance. So, at the moment, it was the safest place for Lora and the children to be. Freya frowned, knowing the courage it took for Lora to do this. However, she wasnât for the idea.

Ryan couldn't wait. As soon as he put on protective measures for Lora and the children, he was ready to go and meet the children for the first time. A few days had passed after the fake ceremony. Right after Ivy was exposed, the news of her deception and escape went viral. Everyone was shocked to learn the truth about her. Ryan even put up a bounty on her head. He wanted Ivy to be captured as soon as possible for the safety of his loved ones. The Williams were also being watched in case they had hidden their daughter, however, despite searching their properties and going through the whole city, Ivy was still at large. âRyan, you can see them when you completely heal. I can meet them on your behalf at the moment,â Diane, Ryan's sister, offered. Ryan had discharged himself from the hospital but his personal doctor visited every few hours to change his bandages and administer his medication. Diane had temporarily moved back to the Kingsley mansion to take care of her brother. âNeve

Jack Davis had walked into the mansion just in time to witness Ryanâs heartfelt apology and request. However, the man clenched his hands into fists and his jaw tightened. Lora was his one and only daughter. When Ryan had a chance to be with her, he didnât cherish her. How dare he waltz into his house to apologise and ask for another chance like his past mistakes could easily be forgotten?Jackâs biggest regret was losing his daughter when she was kidnapped by traffickers at a very young age. He never got to see her go into first grade, or buy her gifts when she turned into a teenager. He never got to take her to the high school dance or even attend her graduation⌠after missing so much time with his daughter and regretting not being there to protect her or make her happy, he didnât want her to face any more hardships. Seeing the man who took his daughterâs love for granted beg for a chance, anger flared through Jack. He stepped forward and declared, âOver my dead body.â The room f

When Ryan popped the chilli pepper into his mouth and quickly chewed it, he didnât feel anything at first but a faint tingle. However, a sudden explosion of heat tore through his senses, making him feel like he had dipped his face into a pot of boiling water. His eyes grew wider, turning red in an instant as they reacted to the heat and he struggled to keep his expression calm. He continued to chew the chilli, his mouth feeling like someone had lit a match and set his taste buds on fire. Jack Davis glanced at Ryan and asked, âIs it hot? Spit it out now⌠I know you canât take it.â Ryan shook his head, determination etched on his face. He said through gritted teeth, âItâs not so bad. I can handle it⌠this is nothing compared to what Lora went through.âJack arched an eyebrow but he kept quiet and let Ryan continue. He was waiting for the moment the young man would give up. However, Ryan continued to chew the chilli until it was done and down his throat, even as the heat in his mout

Lora's stomach churned with worry as she took care of Ryan. He had gotten worse when she took him to the guest room⌠his skin turned pale, beads of sweat coated his forehead and he developed a fever. During that time, Lora placed a cool, damp washcloth on Ryanâs forehead and neck to help reduce his fever. For hours, he wasnât responsive and worry crept into Lora. Why was Ryan looking so weak? His injuries were healing and the chilli shouldnât have made him so sick. She furrowed her eyebrows, wondering if there was something wrong with him. Brushing her thoughts aside, Lora stayed by Ryan's side until later in the evening when colour returned to his face and he finally opened his eyes. âAre you ok?â Lora asked, her voice laced with concern. Ryan glanced at Lora and nodded, his voice hoarse, âIâm ok.âThe chilli effect had gone and the medicine that Lora had given him had stopped the stomach cramps. âWhy did you eat chilli when you know you canât eat anything spicy? Do you have a d

âRyan Kingsleyâs car entered the Davis mansion but it never came out until now,â Jasonâs man reported on the phone. Jason clenched his hand around the phone, his eyes flashing with anger. He had been trying to call Lora since the previous day, however, his calls went unanswered. It was like she was trying to avoid him. Luckily he had placed someone to watch over her, otherwise, he wouldnât have known she wasnât picking up her calls because she was with Ryan Kingsley. âKeep me updated,â Jason replied through gritted teeth before cutting the call and throwing his phone on the couch. He hadnât had time to spend with Lora since the kidnapping incident since she was always with Ryan, taking care of him. It was like he had already lost her to Ryan after he risked his life to save her⌠âNo, Iâm not going to lose you to Ryan, Lora. I can lose everything but not you,â Jason muttered to himself, a look of determination on his face. âŚMeanwhile, Ryan had booked the whole restaurant at the

Loraâs eyes widened, taken aback by Jasonâs bold words. How could he say that so easily in front of the kids?Sure enough, Ella looked between Lora and Jason before asking, âIs it true Mommy? Will we really have a stepfather? But I donât want a stepfather! I want my real father!â Ryan clenched his jaw, seeing his daughter cry made his heartbreak. He picked her up from her seat and placed her on his lap before soothingly saying, âYouâre not going to have a stepfather⌠Iâm your one and only father.â He glared at Jason and questioned, âWhat is wrong with you? How can you say that in front of the kids?â âIâm just saying the inevitable⌠after all, Lora and I will get married in the future-ââJay, a word?â Lora said in a low voice. Jason saw that Lora was angry. He smiled at her and replied, âSure.â When they left the restaurant, Lora looked at Jason, anger flitting through her eyes. âHow could you say that in front of the kids without discussing it with me first?ââI donât think thereâ

Her Return, His Regret   Chapter 180~ Date night (The end)
Months later⌠âIs it ok if we leave the children with you?" Ryan asked his family. It was the weekend and Ryan and Lora had decided to take the children to the Kingsley mansion so that they could spend time together. Charles Kingsley was already holding little Lucas while Miles was holding Riley. The twins had grown so fast and could now toddle around all over the place. âI donât mind staying with them if they are this cute,â Charles remarked while making funny faces at little Lucas. Ella and Ethan were already following Diane around, asking her to take them shopping. They seemed not to care that their parents were going to leave them there. Ryan and Lora shared a look before laughing. Lora said, âIt seems we are not needed.ââThatâs because they know they are in safe hands,â Ryan replied. He called out to Diane, âSis, you can use my card-ââCome on, I have my own money to spoil my niece and nephew,â Diane replied. âBesides, the only friend I have went abroad and is yet to be ba
Her Return, His Regret   Chapter 179~ First time
Three months later... Adan carried Bianca into their villa. They had just arrived at the place they would spend their honeymoon at and Adan wanted to carry his wife into their villa. He went upstairs and placed her gently on the bed. Looking down at her, he grabbed her left hand and kissed her wedding ring. âIâm happy to be here with you, Mrs Nicholson,â he said in his deep velvety voice. Biancaâs face flushed pink. The last couple of weeks had been nothing but wonderful. Adan had taken her on several dates, they spent a lot of time together and had grown closer during that time. What was supposed to be an arranged loveless marriage turned out to be a marriage that they both wanted, the contract long forgotten. They held a grand wedding in the city and after the reception, they immediately got on a flight, not wanting to delay their honeymoon. After all, tonight was the first time they would make love to each other. Biting her lower lip, Bianca remarked, âIâm happy to be you
Her Return, His Regret   Chapter 178~ Loved you forever
Bianca stood face to face with the woman who had run away earlier. She gulped, feeling a lump in her throat as she studied Serena Pierceâs facial features. Bianca had to admit she was beautiful. She had dark brown hair with captivating brown eyes and her body was to die for. âHow can I help you?â Bianca asked, sounding a little stiff. She had no idea why the woman who had run away earlier was suddenly in her ward, so she had her guard up. âAre you worried that Iâll steal Adan away from you?â Serena answered with a question. "I heard you're having an arranged marriage."Bianca frowned, irritation flaring through her. She glanced at Serena and replied, âLook, if this is a confrontation about me staying away from Adan then please, save yourself the embarrassment and leave my ward. I donât want to fight with you. After all, your parents saved my life.â âDo you love Adan?â Serena suddenly asked. "Or are you marrying him because you were forced to?"Silence fell over the place. Bianca

âSay that again,â Adan requested, looking into Biancaâs eyes. His heart was racing at a thousand miles per second and he could feel electric currents coursing through him, an aftereffect of the passionate kiss they just shared. Biancaâs face reddened. She bit her lower lip and sheepishly said, âI have feelings for you.â Adan felt like his heart had jumped out of his chest and soared high up into the sky. A grin formed on his lips, his eyes lit up with joy and he pulled Bianca in for a hug. âI know it will take some time for you to fall in love with me. But Iâm willing to waitâŚâ Adan remarked. The two continued to share a hug until someone at the door cleared their throat. âI see you lovebirds are getting closer.â The two pulled away from the hug and glanced at the door to see Lora and Ryan walking into the ward. Lora wore a smile on her face. She looked at her friend and was genuinely happy for her, knowing Bianca already had a crush on Adan but she didnât want to accept it beca

"What?" Bianca blinked, her heart racing in her chest. Of all things, she didn't expect Adan to ask her such a question. "Didn't you say I wasn't your type?" She questioned, furrowing her eyebrows despite the millions of butterflies that were fluttering in her stomach. Adan chuckled. He cupped Biancaâs face and replied, "I lied. Why wouldn't you be my type? You're gorgeous. You're the most beautiful blonde, green-eyed goddess I've ever seen."Biancaâs face flushed pink. She bit her lower lip and said, "I now know why you're a playboy. Your game is smooth... if I didn't know you, I would have fallen for your charms."Hurt flickered through Adan's eyes. He sighed and replied, "I'm not a playboy. That's just what I made everyone believe." "What?" Bianca laughed. "Come on, Adan. I'm back and ok now. You don't need to come up with lies because you feel guilty for what happened. I already know why you never wanted to get married." "Bee... I don't know how to say this," Adan responded. "
Her Return, His Regret   Chapter 175~ First fight
Hours earlier. Bianca felt like she had been hit by a truck. Every cell in her body hurt. Breathing felt like she was swallowing molten lava. She hadn't eaten in the last two days, so she was very low on energy and her injuries were taking long to heal. "Have some soup. You're going to feel better and gain some strength," the elderly woman who had been taking care of Bianca offered. With difficulty, Bianca propped herself up and accepted the bowl. She then ate the soup quickly and the elderly woman watched her with a warm smile on her face. Biancaâs face was still swollen and bruised and it was hard to make out her facial features. "Thank you," Bianca said when she was done, her voice hoarse. "Oh don't mention it," the woman remarked. "My name is Rita Pierce. The man who saved you is my husband, Josaphat Pierce. Don't worry, you're safe here. We live with our daughter, Serena and our three grandchildren." Bianca nodded, looking around and realising she was in a modest bedroom
Her Return, His Regret   Chapter 174~ Found
âSir, we've found something.â Adanâs heart jumped to his throat at those words. He turned sharply to face one of the IT men, asking, âWhat did you find?â âAlthough we canât see the kidnapper, we can see Miss Jones being forced into a second car on a camera near the blind spot. The license plate was fake, but we are working on tracking the make and the model to know who owns the car,â the IT man reported. âWhat about the thing I asked you to look into?â Adan inquired. He was referring to the background check he had ordered on Cheryl. âYes, we did find something,â the IT man replied. âShe had withdrawn about a hundred thousand dollars from her savings account two days ago. However, since she didnât use digital transfer, we canât trace where the money went. We just have to wait until we find the owner of the second vehicle.â Adanâs jaw clenched and Ryan placed a hand on his shoulder before squeezing it. He said, âWe are going to find her, bro.ââI swear, if Cheryl has anything to do
Her Return, His Regret   Chapter 173~ Suspect
âAre you telling me none of you were able to find my fiancee?â Adan yelled. âThen what the hell am I paying so much money for?â âWe are working on it, Sir,â the IT man said. âWe need time-ââTime? Does my fiancee have the luxury of time? Each second that sheâs out there, sheâs in danger. I need to find her as soon as possible,â Adan hissed, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. It had been two days since Bianca went missing. Two days since the one who had tampered with the CCTV at the club disappeared and two days without any news about Bianca. Adan was going crazy. Who would dare kidnap his fiancee? He didnât remember having any enemies recently. Could it have been someone with an old grudge? Grudges were not a new thing in the business world. The competition was stiff and winning certain projects meant being hated by the others who wanted the same projects. Adan hired the best hackers in the city to track Bianca. However, they were only able to find the first vehicle she was t
