A black Lamborghini swerved into the driveway of the estate and Rylan Daystar stepped out of the vehicle. In his hands were two grocery bags as he headed towards the porch. The door opened just in time and Williams stepped out getting the bags from him. Rylan took off his suit jacket and followed Williams into the kitchen. He was exhausted and it was written plainly on his face. Williams noticed this when he first came home. Rylan had been working overtime to fulfill his dreams, and Williams often wondered if all of the sleepless nights were worth it. Rylan’s life has been eventful since he returned to Los Angeles. It seemed like he was a magnet for trouble. Every time, there had to be something going on. And right now, they had four people coming after him; the police, The McCulloughs, the cartel, and now the casino owners. It was tough that Rykak hadn’t succumbed to the pressure of living his life on the edge. It seemed like presently, any day could be his last. Williams kept the

“Is the antidote ready, Williams?” Rylan asked. “Yes sir. Waiting for your arrival.”“Good.”Rylan gripped the steering wheel tight as he sped through the city. He was in a rush. On the passenger seat was an unconscious Lana. She was strapped to the seat by his seatbelt. Rylan knew that if he was caught with her in his car, he would be jailed immediately. It would be a total misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that could cost Lana her life. Rylan felt guilt creeping in on him as he looked at Lana one more time. He should have listened to her from the start. But it seemed they weren’t after him. It was a shock to realize that she had been poisoned instead, but why? And how? He had been standing beside her the whole time that he could have spotted when Seth would have spiked her drink. But instead, he had walked off. The time between her getting poisoned and Seth leaving them was suspicious. Rylan could remember his last words very well. He had welcomed them to enjoy the show. Rylan

Lana opened her eyes slowly as she came back to reality. Her head was pounding hard and she winced in pain. So many questions were running through her mind. What happened? The last thing she could remember was talking to Rylan. That was before she passed out on the floor. At least that was what she had thought. She could remember being carried away. She could also remember the sound of car engines and the voice of Rylan who seemed ever-present. How had it all happened? Where had it all gone wrong?And then it hit her. She had been poisoned instead of Rylan. This came as a shock to her. She could remember coming to this conclusion just as she hit the ground. Seth had been planning for her instead. He knew that she was going to tell Rylan about their plans, and so he decided to kill her instead. Not only because she had spilled their secrets to their worst enemy, but also because she had enough evidence to incriminate them. It all made sense now.Lana knew she had to do something. Ryla

A heartless man. That was what Rylan Daystar was to Lana Pierce. He had left her in his huge gymnasium completely flabbergasted by his words. She had thought of him to be kind and considerate for saving her life, but it seemed that was all for nothing. Lana had been hoping she would be able to convince him to let the casino stay, but he was so stubborn. This was why Seth was after him. This was why they wouldn’t stop till he was murdered. Rylan wasn’t going to listen to anybody, even her. Nevertheless, she owed him her life for saving her. Without him giving her the antidote, she wouldn’t have been sitting down at his gymnasium a few days ago as she had the conversation with him. It was now five days since she had been brought home by Rylan, and it seemed her presence was no longer welcome. Lana felt it was time for her to take her leave. There was nothing left for her here. Rylan had saved her life, and it seemed there was nothing more he could do for her. Lana didn't expect anythin

Lana had decided to confront the shareholders. It had been on her mind immediately after she left Rylan’s house. It was a stupid move, but she did it anyway. It was to show that she wasn’t scared of them and that she knew they were behind it. She didn’t know who in particular had done it, but her focus was mainly on Seth. He had orchestrated the plan to kill Rylan. It would be no surprise that he would have changed his mind after she left and poisoned her instead. It would make perfect sense. “The lost sheep returns,” Seth said with his arms folded. Lana gritted her teeth and she glared at him. She was upset that he wasn’t surprised to see her as the rest of the table was. Cody seemed to be shivering in fear. They were all guilty of almost getting her killed. The only person who didn’t let that guilt faze him was Seth, and she detested it. “I know what all of you did!” Lana yelled. Seth chuckled. “We don’t know what you’re talking about.”Lana’s eyes went down to him. Seth was sa
