"Contract? What contract?" Ryan asked."The one she wanted to get from the Lt group. Anderson got it for her yesterday.""So why are you telling me?" Stephanie pulled away from Anderson and glared at Ryan. "Just so you know that divorcing you is the best thing that has ever happened to me." She didn't wait for Ryan to say anything before she walked away. Anderson looked at Ryan and Elizabeth for some minutes, as if unsure of whether he should remain here or go after Stephanie, but he soon went after her after some moments.After they left, Elizabeth burst into laughter. Ryan looked at her with a brow raised."That woman still loves you," she said."What made you say that?" "Didn't you see the way she was hugging that other guy awkwardly? She was just trying to get you jealous," Elizabeth said.Ryan shrugged. "She's right about me showing up here. I almost forgot that she

In a split second, it all made sense to Ryan. Those two boys that were fighting, It has been a scheme to distract him. It was while he was watching those boys that the two men got into his car. The handkerchief had almost touched his face when Ryan moved his head backward. He took his gun that had been lying on the console and pointed it at the two guys. Seeing that the men were not moved by the sight of the gun, Ryan let out two shots at the men. Their groans filled the car. Ryan collected the handkerchief from the man holding it and tossed it in the passenger seat in the front."Jed?" Ryan asked and the two men nodded.Ryan shot them again. No one paid any attention to them. The crowds were pulling in on the two fighting boys."I've no use for people like  you," Ryan said and shot one of the men in the chest.The second man raised his injured hand. "I don't want to die," he said in

Ryan watched Anna walk  slowly to the dead child on the sofa. He was expecting her to burst into tears, jump around hysterically and scream her lungs out but she didn't do any of that, she knelt by the sofa and held the girl's hand.The action was familiar to Ryan. When a worker, back in his house in New York, had come to him to announce the death of his mother. He'd ran to her room, thinking that the worker had made a mistake. Inside his mother's room, everyone was crying. He even saw a drop of tears run down his tough father's face, but he had been emotionless. He had wanted to  cry, he had wanted to throw himself on the floor, shout, scream and do a lot of things, but he had not found the energy to do it. He had just held his mother's cold hands and stared at her.Ryan bit hard on his lower lip as he watched Anna trying to process the death of her daughter. He tried to find words to comfort her, but his brain was completely empty.Anna Sa

"Yes. Scared," Ryan shouted."Well… I mean…" Brice ran his hand through his hair."I want all these to be over as quickly as possible but how do we do that if one of us who is supposed to be of help is pulling back in the name of some lame excuses?"Brice looked at Ryan and looked away. He had never seen Ryan look so mad."Miss Anna's kid was murdered. How'd you feel if you were in her shoes and someone else is bringing in a resignation letter?" "Well, Mr Ryan… I… I understand it now.""You're coming back to the company.""Okay, Sir," Brice said before he even realized what he was saying. He saw the look on Ryan's face soften."Were you waiting to hear me shout before you agreed to come back?"Brice could not help a smile. Just how Ryan could be this cool was something he was yet to understand. He had never for once thought Ryan could be scared of what was h

"Have you been living in Atlanta all these while?" Ryan asked."Where else do I have to go?""Because I don't imagine there is anyone in Atlanta who hasn't heard of the divorce.""Forget about rumours. You were only a week married to Stephanie when I heard she had divorced you."Ryan shook his head. Landon would really never believe he's divorced."How is it like living in a rich family?" Landon asked, looking at Ryan.Ryan shrugged. "You could say it's nothing out of the ordinary." After some moment when he didn't hear any word from Landon, Ryan glanced at Landon to find him staring at him, Landon's lips slightly parted."What? Do I have something on my face?" Landon shook his head. "You're speaking like the rich.""What?!" Ryan laughed."How is your mother in-law? I assume she treats you well. I mean, you're handsome."
