When Ryan got back home, his father was in his house. Mr Blake had fire in his eyes. Ryan walked in and was received by the fiery glare from his own father. “Good evening, dad,” he greeted him. The man responded violently. He grabbed the glass cup by his side and sent it to the wall. The sound of a shattering glass tore into the air. Ryan knew what was wrong. The man must have seen the news about him. The arrest would most definitely be making the headlines of the news articles. “What is good about the evening, Ryan?” Mr Blake queried him. “Hold your damn greeting to your freaking soul!” Ryan was calm. He said nothing. His father flipped the TV on and the face that appeared there was Ryan. There were numerous questions about his arrest and his possible life as a kidnapper. His father cocked his hair angrily. “What is the meaning of this?” Ryan knew explaining his situation would not really count at the moment. But he had to do it anyway. “Dad, it's all false,” he said. “There
“Are you certain of what you have just said, my dear?” She asked him. Adrian nodded his head. “A car was going to knock me down. But he came from nowhere and saved me. I think he is a super hero, mom.” Ava felt bad instantly. She couldn't believe what she did. It was all because of Arnold who had told her that Ryan tried to kidnap her children. The doctor walked to her. “Good afternoon, ma'am,” the doctor greeted her. “You must be their mother.” Ava nodded her head. “Good afternoon, doctor. Yes, I am their mother. Is there a problem?” The doctor shook his head. “No problem at all. Your son is sound and can leave whenever you wish him to. The thing is, I learnt that you arrested someone.” Ava said nothing. She just watched him to know what he was going to say. “I think there is a mixup somewhere. I was told he was accused of trying to kidnap your children. But I don't think that was actually the case. He was the one that brought your son here. And he was so concerned that I fel
Ryan and Adrianna were in the waiting area still waiting for the doctor. The little girl had finished having the snacks Ryan bought for her. “Mister, thank you,” she said to him. Ryan looked at her and smiled warmly. “You are welcome, my dear.” “Have you spoken to my mother?” She asked. Ryan nodded his head. *Yes. Don't worry. She will be here any moment from now.” The doctor walked to them with a grin on his face. Ryan could tell everything was okay. “Doctor,” he called and stood up. “What about —” “He is good now,” the doctor replied. “He will be fully awake later. For now, let him rest. He's still young and had the fear of death on him. The shock was quite a big one.” Ryan understood. At least, he had seen the little boy's eyes when the car almost hit him. Adrian was very terrified at that time. “Can I see him now?” He asked. The doctor nodded and gestured that they could go to the boy. “Yes. Sure, you can. Please, excuse me.” The doctor left and Ryan turned to Adrianna
Ryan drove as fast as he could with his attention partly divided between the boy and the road. “Please, save my brother,” Adrianna said amidst tears innocently from the backseat. Ryan looked at her through the front mirror. The little girl was cuddling her brother. Ryan stretched his right hand to her head and stroked it gently. “Your brother will be fine,” he said. “I promise you that.” He drove into the hospital and parked right in front of the main building, ignoring the security's order to move to the parking lot. His heart was beating quickly. Somehow, he was scared of anything happening to the little boy. “We are here,” he said and jumped out. He opened the back door and hoisted Adrian out of the car. Then , with Adrianna following right behind him, they rushed into the hospital. Some nurses approached him and took the boy. “What happened to him?” A doctor asked. “He collapsed out of shock,” Ryan replied amidst heavy breaths. “A car almost knocked him down.” “How old is
“Hold on a second,” Ryan said while trying to relax. “It was you my wife was talking about.”Morgan nodded his head. “You seem a bit surprised to know this.” Ryan leaned forward. “Yes, I am surprised. Why did you come here on your own?” If Morgan should say he wanted to deal directly with him, he would be lying. “Well, I got a call this morning from your father-in-law and your wife as well. I was told that my business with Blake Haven was getting a little complicated. Although, he never mentioned to me what it was. He only told me to meet you since you are the one running things here.” Ryan was speechless. Somehow, he had no idea what he was supposed to think. It appeared Kristie was not hiding anything from him. Could he have made the wrong call by pointing accusing fingers at his father-in-law and his wife? “Oh..that. I just wanted to know who this person was,” Ryan replied. Morgan grinned. “I apologize for keeping you waiting this whole time. I was yet to move to the States w
Later that day, Ryan was in his office having a very unproductive day. Since he came, he has been unable to keep his focus in one place. There were just too many thoughts flying over his head. The whole incident involving his wife and his father-in-law were just a lot of work for him to deal with. He didn't want to make mistakes. But he was scared he was already doing so. What if he was accusing them wrongly? He thought. That would be a very bad move by him. The business relationship the two families shared made two of them stand out amongst others in the business world. Somehow, it felt like he was about to ruin it. No matter how he thought about it, it just kept feeling strange to him. He was still drooling in a pool of his thoughts when the office line rang, jolting him off his head. “Hello,” he said as he took the call. “Sir, are you free?” Sarah's voice asked politely over the phone. He scratched his brows. “Is there a problem?” “Not at all, Sir,” she replied. “It's just t
