"Aria...." He was about to call her, but jack interrupted him."Hey, Ryan. What a pleasant surprise?" Ryan didn't want to shift his eyes away from her, but he had to do it. Jack hugged him, and he reciprocated his warm welcome."How are you? Long time no see," Jack was aware of his condition but ignored it. He didn't want Ryan to call her Ariana. "I'm good. How are you?" He asked him, but his eyes were still on her."Good. Meet her..." Jack moved to kate and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Ryan looked at them. He didn't want to listen to anything that he couldn't bear."My sister Katelyn Alexander." Jack smiled, looking at Kate."Your long lost sister." Ryan wanted to know more. Jack nodded his head."Where did you find her?" Ryan asked. He wasn't himself. Kate found it strange because he didn't even talk to her but stared at her all time. "Long story. I'll tell you in my free time." Jack turned towards Katelyn."Kate, he's my university friend Ryan Walter.""Ryan," Kate murmur
At seven pm,Ryan went to the Alexander house for dinner. Jack greeted him at the door when the gatekeeper informed him about his arrival."How was your day here in kingdom A?" Jack asked, hugging him."It was good," Ryan spoke."Let's go to the guest room. Dinner will be ready in some time." Jack said, showing him a way to the guest room.Ryan looked around for Ariana, but she wasn't there."No one is at home," Ryan asked, stepping inside the room."Dad will be on his way home." Jack deliberately did not mention Katelyn.Ryan wanted to ask, but he couldn't."What will you have? Drink or coffee?" Jack asked, settling beside him on the couch."Nothing. I just came here to discuss something, so come to the point." Ryan wanted to do his work as soon as possible.Jack smiled, watching his obstinacy."Alright, so tell me. What is the important matter?" "I came here with a proposal," Ryan spoke and opened his laptop. Jack looked at him with gratification."I want to build a hospital in the
"Do we know each other?" Kate couldn't restrain herself from asking."Maybe we know, or maybe we don't." Ryan's voice was soft, and kate felt attracted to him. She didn't know why but this person felt known to her."What do you mean?" She was confused.Ryan smiled. A soft chuckle left his mouth."Why are you smiling? I know. I don't remember anything, but if we have met or I know you for any reference, you can tell me." She was serious, and Ryan lost his heart again at her innocence. His heart screamed in her intimacy. He was sure she was his Ariana. Yet he needed something to prove his point."You don't remember anything," Ryan asked. He wanted to know how much she knew.Kate pursed her lips and shook her head."When I woke up after my accident, I had no memory. Dad and Jack struggled a lot to stabilize me. Dad told me. I'm his daughter, and I was lost when I was a year old. But now they found me." She told him everything without thinking twice. She felt like words were coming to her
In the evening, Ryan drove his car towards the location Jack had sent to him. Kate and Jack were already there when he reached."Sorry, there was a lot of traffic, and you know it's far.." Ryan tried to explain when he saw Kate's grimace."I know, buddy. No need to explain. Let's take a round to this place." Jack put his hand on Ryan's shoulder and said. Ryan nodded, and they started their visit. They saw the whole place and talked about various things."This place is just perfect for our project." Ryan couldn't stop himself from praising."I know you'll like it. That's why I said I had a place." Jack smiled."If you want, you can visit this place and the area around it. You'll know how prime location it is for a hospital." He said when his cell phone rang.Jack looked at the screen. It was a call from his assistant."Excuse me," he said and strolled to the side to attend to the call. Now Ryan and Kate were alone. Ryan glanced at her face. She was still irritated, but why. He didn'
Next morning Ryan went back to Las Vegas because of an important meeting. Ethan received him from the airport."Afternoon, sir," "Where is Damien?" Ryan asked, strolling towards his car."He's where you left him," Ethan informed, following his steps."I'll see him after the meeting. Where are the clients?" "They are in pearl hotel." Ethan started the engine of the car."Alright, go there." Ryan closed his eyes and leaned back in the seat. He was worried about Damien. He went to kingdom A for him, but he forgot everything when he saw Ariana there. Later, he became busy with her and didn't get time to talk to Angelina or talk about her with anyone. He reached the pearl hotel within half an hour, but to his surprise, Damien was also there. He was about to give the presentation. Ryan glared at him, then at Ethan, who gulped down. Ryan greeted the clients and took a seat in the meeting hall. They attended the meeting and signed the project successfully. That was the meeting he canceled
Sunday,On Sunday, Ryan went to the location for a survey around one o'clock. Kate saw him. He was moving towards her, but she ignored him and moved towards the employees. They were working on the base of the hospital. Ryan frowned and then smiled. He approached her and whispered in her ear."Afternoon, Ms. Alexander," Kate shivered, closing her eyes, but soon she maintained herself and spoke."Afternoon, Mr. Walter. When did you arrive?" She pretended to be unaware."Just the moment you saw me and ignored me." Ryan chuckled. Kate clenched her fist."I didn't ignore you and why I'd do it." She said and walked away. She didn't want the workers to watch them close. Ryan followed her and exclaimed."Fair enough. Why'd you ignore me? But tell me, why are you avoiding me?" "I'm not avoiding you. I'm just doing my work." Kate said, holding some files in her hand."Don't you think this is also included in your job to inform me about the current situation? After all, I'm investing my money
After an hour or two, Kate woke up. She saw Jack beside her."Jack, where is Ryan? Is he alright? What happened?" She stood from the bed, but Jack held her by the shoulders and tried to help her sit."He's fine. The doctor said he had cuts on his head, hands, and arms because of rods, but nothing to worry about. He'll be alright soon.""How could you say nothing to worry about? Jack, he had cuts on his head. You saw bleeding. A pool of blood was there. How could you say don't worry?" Kate stepped out and strode towards the room where Ryan had shifted.She opened the door of the room and saw him on the bed. His head and hands were covered with bandages, while dark blue marks were also on his arms and around his neck. She slowly advanced towards him and sat on the stool beside the bed. Tears filled her eyes."I'm sorry," she held his hand and spoke. Jack's heart clenched in his rib cage. He wanted to see them happy. Jack didn't disturb her and walked out of the room. He dialed Damien's
"Yes, I want to marry him." Kate again repeated her sentence, and she was confident, so Jack put his spoon on the table and asked."Are you sure?" Jack raised his brow."Yes, more than a hundred percent." She was assertive. Jack became grave because now the matter was important."Why do you want to marry him? I mean, you just met him six months ago. Hardly met him six to seven times, so how can you decide to marry him?""Yesterday, I realized I love him and can't live without him." Kate exhaled deeply."And he? What about him? Does he love you back?" Jack wasn't surprised. He knew he had to face this situation once, but it was too early. Ryan vowed to her this soon he was worried about her."I'm sure. Ryan also loves me. Even if he doesn't, I want him at any cost." "What about your dream boy? Don't you want him? You were desperate for him." Jack tried to unfold her."I'm not having that dream anymore. Now I'm desperate for Ryan and want him at any cost. I can't lose him. You
