“ Young master Harry, what you just said is rather impossible.” Arabella replied in the most polite way she could. “ You don't get to decide, because I do.” “ No one can stop me from taking you both with me.” Harry said, his lips curved into a lopsided smile. His smile was scary and his voice domineering that it made chills run through Lilith's bones. Arabella and Lilith never expected him to be scary and filled with pride. It made them vulnerable and anxious. Turning to face Ryvan, Arabella glared at him. He was leaning on a rack inside the mall, with his two hands inside his pocket. He had been there all along without saying a word. One would think he was a total stranger who was not in any way related to Arabella. Whereas, his is her husband. He dealt with Reno and his thugs fiercely, but now that it was related to a wealthy young master, he didn't dare say a word. “ Would you mind if had a little fun with your woman?” Harry's eyes fell on Stanley. “
“ You are taking my words the wrong way.” Ryvan sighed as he tried to explain. “ You can't handle Young master Harry.” “ He is not someone you can handle just like you did with Reno. We need someone who is up to the standard.” Arabella sighed and bit her lower lips in frustration. She couldn't abandon Ryvan because he had saved her even though it was in a reckless way. “ The best we can do right now is for you to run away before he gets back.” “ Run now! I will handle the rest.” Arabella whispered into his ear. Ryvan was shocked. He was well aware that Arabella didn't like him, but yet, she refused to let him be harmed by anyone, not even Harry. However, upon hearing that Arabella wanted Ryvan to run away, Lilith chimed in. “ He ain't going anywhere sis, what would happen to us, if he who started the fight runs away?” “ Young master Harry won't let him go. I must inform him.” Stanley rolled his eyes with a sneer. “ Shut up, bastard! How dare you speak?” Li
“ I would advise you to stop picking on Bruce. He just saved our asses.” She turned to Ryvan who said nothing. Out of gratitude, Arabella picked up her phone to call Bruce again. “ Thank you for saving us once again.” “ Young master Harry just left without even warning us or saying anything.” Arabella appreciated it. “ He left already?” Bruce was confused and surprised. He was still thinking of ways to beg Harry on their behalf, but it turned out that he left on his own. “ Thank you once again.” ‘ It won't be a bad idea to receive appreciation for what I didn't do.’ Bruce thought. “ You don't have to thank me, Arabella. We've been friends for so long. “ Whatever happens to you is my business, so I had to help.” “ Alright, bye.” she hung up afterwards. Arabella turned to Ryvan and told him never to act recklessly or rely on martial arts. She made it known to him that not every situation can be solved by fighting. Stanley, on the other hand, was surprised.
Dylan, one of Bruce's friends, was so mesmerised when he saw who had appeared before Ryvan. She was so beautiful like an angel. “ Wow, so pretty!” He couldn't help but gush. The lady was putting on a beautiful floral pink dress. Her oceanic blue eyes sparkled like the waves of the sea and also, her porcelain white skin made her look effortlessly beautiful. “ Hello damsel, I'm Dylan.” Dylan stopped forward for a handshake. Funny enough, the lady ignored him straight out and walked towards where Ryvan stood. “ Hello Mr Kesley. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.” With an extended handshake, the lady smiled. Ryvan also extended his hand to accept the handshake. “ Hi” He said casually. The beautiful lady was Eva Claire, Dave's daughter whom Ryvan had brought back to life with his medical skills. She was more socialised and vibrant. For the first time, she felt awkward because no man had ever been nonchalant towards her the way Ryvan was. “ Thank you for saving my life.
Ryvan stood a few metres away from Arabella who was seething with anger. He was sipping his wine slowly when Eva walked towards him. Seeing her walk to Ryvan, Arabella almost scoffed. “ Hey” she smiled. “ Hi.” Ryvan was brief with his greeting. “ Ryvan, I have to say, I'm quite fond of you,”
Lilith heard from Arabella that the sole spot in the Chamber of Commerce was already reserved. She thought of ways to help her sister, so she approached Bruce, maybe he could be of help. “ Bruce, I need to ask you again, please, is there any way for Brandall Medicine to join the Chamber of Commerc
“ I only brag if I was the one who actually did it,” Ryvan said blankly and walked out of the party. “ Sis, let him go. We should enjoy this moment as much as we can” Lilith smiled, bringing over a bottle of red wine and few glasses. “ Thank you so much Bruce for helping us once again.” Lilith a
The lady took out Thompson's phone and scrolled through his contact. She found Bruce's number and immediately dialled it and after a few seconds, it was picked up by Bruce. “ Hello, is this Mr Bruce?” “ Yes, how may I help you?” Bruce replied. “ This is Thompson's girlfriend. He was knocked down
The meeting finally came to an end and everyone returned to their villa to rest for the night. Ryvan wanted to leave and head to his place, but Arabella didn't let him. She wanted him to stay the night with her in her room. If it was just a few hours ago, Malice would never allow such, that was t
Just when Dickson was about to fall on his knees, his father, David, stopped him. “ Arabella, tell me whatever you need, but I can't let my son kneel before a woman like you.” David said, causing Arabella to scoff as she bit her lips to avoid saying inappropriate words. ‘ Still haven't learnt yo
“ Dickson, step forward!” Henry called and Dickson walked towards the podium, his head bowed in shame. “ Are you ready to tell the truth about the contract or do you want it forced out of your mouth?” Henry asked coldly. He was no more the sweet and biassed grandpa, who would always side him even
Arabella was still sniffling slowly, her arms wrapped around Ryvan like her life would come to an end if she let go. Ryvan didn't break the hug; instead, they remained in the same position for over five minutes, the dim light coming from the street bulb shone brightly on their faces. After Arabell
Arabella swiftly turned to Ryvan, her eyes still filled with shock from what Mr Bald had said a few minutes before leaving. “ Is he saying the truth?” She asked, her voice barely above whisper. “ Let's talk when we get home.” Ryvan replied. “ What he said about you, is it true?” Henry couldn't h
Everywhere turned silent, as everyone stared and focused their gazes on Dickson, who felt like the ground should open and swallow him. This was what he was trying so badly to avoid. But, he wasn't aware that Ryvan and Arabella would invite Mr Bald to the party, and because of that, he was in a tig
As Henry glanced at Ryvan, he just couldn't take off his mind from earlier. If he was really a prominent man like Dave said, why would he remain as a son-in-law in the family who treated him like trash? “ Grandpa, is there a problem?” Dickson walked towards Henry, jolting him out of his trance. “
The air was filled with anticipation at Henry's villa. It was finally the day of the celebration. Twinkling lights strung across the sprawling gardens, creating a magical atmosphere. Laughter and music drifted through the evening ajr, mingling with the scent of blooming jasmine. The hall was fil
“ If I were to follow my instincts, you would be on your way to the gate of Hades right now, but I guess I will let them handle you.” Ryvan said and stood up, calmly shoving his hands back into his pocket. He looked like a gentleman once again. If not for the fact that Bruce had seen him beat u
