The large hallway was particularly empty that very moment and Ryan took it as his chance to sneak through. After taking a long shower-- Ryan had spent all the time under the water thinking about what his butler meant and how to avoid it entirely. Priscilla was the oldest woman in the family and she had the right to butt into his life as she pleased which he despised. He could tell that she wasn't a woman up to any good, well at least his instincts didn't allow him to trust her. A woman like herself that was overambitious for her children would go to any length to get what she wanted-- he realized he didn't have anything to change into. All his clothes were back at J international in his suite. He hadn't meant to spend such a long time at the mansion. Well if he was going to stay, he would need a change of clothes and the only place he could find something to suit him was in his father's wardrobe.His dad must have been around his age when he was last home. But for some reason, Rya
Lilly panicked about in her office. If Ryan got married to another woman, then she would really lose everything! How could she not have known! "Are you alright?" Her fiancé asked, looking at her with obvious concern. "You've been going back and forth for so long I'm getting dizzy just from watching you."But Lilly didn't respond, or she didn't hear. Her mind was on Ryan and how to make things right for her. "Okay, calm down Lilly." She told herself. "You will lose the little time you have left if you keep doing like this. I need to... I need to... I need to..." Picking up her phone, she searched for the families that had been accepted to participate in the bride evaluating contest. "The Campbell family, the Hathaway and the Johnsons! The Johnsons, thank goodness!" She exclaimed excitedly. Daniel didn't understand what was going on with her anymore and he was tired of standing there and watching. "Lilly! What the hell is going on with you right now?" He demanded, slightly furious.
Lilly hurried out of her office with the fear of missing the time they had given to her. For all she knew, that might be her only chance to get things going the way she wanted them to be. If she could be in good terms with the woman who pulled the strings then she would have nothing to worry about. Definitely, she could tell that it would take a lot to impress such a high and mighty woman and hopefully, what she had prepared would be enough to do the job properly. Arriving at a high end café, she told the attendant about her reserved seat and the young female attendant walked her to it.The table was still empty. With a sigh of relief, she sat herself down and adjusted her hair properly. Her second party had not yet arrived. Priscilla had strictly told her she would leave if she didn't arrive just in time since she hated being delayed and she waited for no man. Soon, a richly dressed woman with an aura of pride around her strode towards the table and Lilly could tell immediately t
His car pulled up in the parking space of his mansion and he got down from it with a gentle sigh. He already escaping the marriage was an impossible task so he might as well be at home when they'd come over. He needed to be strong, stand his ground against Priscilla and anyone else who thought it was fun to try to mess with him. Walking into the large and spacious living room, Ryan found his butler perambulating about with his hands behind his back like a secretary bird. Logan Hayes eyes widened as they landed on Ryan and he hurried to him. "Oh young master!" He exclaimed as he came dashing towards his young master. "I was so afraid that I might never hear from you again! I didn't know where to look or how I would have found you..."Ryan's brows furrowed confusedly. "Wait what? Found me? Why? It's not like I'm some missing pet or something.""Oh young master, that, I do know, but you ran away! You left without a word or a trace! How was I to know where to find you?" His Butler's bro
SANCTIONED"Priscilla Jacobs!" Ryan thundered and everyone's head raised up to stare at him in shock and awe. He had just addressed his aunt by her name like a father would when he wanted to scold his daughter.Priscilla blinked confusedly. Even Logan Hayes had flinched. "Excuse me?" Priscilla's brow arched at him questioningly. Her gaze spoke the words that were stuck in her throat. 'How dare you be so rude to me!' Ryan smiled softly and scratched his eyebrow with his hand that wasn't in the pocket of his trousers. He knew there was a connection between those two grinning demons. Lilly must have approached Priscilla because he knew Priscilla would never have known about her existence, and they must have come to an agreement over him like he was some tool for them to use. He had meant to fake his anger towards Priscilla while he scolded her but he realized he didn't have to fake it anymore. He was genuinely angry at her and he couldn't control the flow of words that left his mouth.

Ryan Jacobs paused as the door creaked while he was trying to open it. If anything, he wanted to move like a subtle breeze unnoticed by anyone.He was greeted by grave darkness in the living room. The house was empty of any life save for the cat that waltzed about in the darkness.He was relieved when he noticed that there was no one there. Carefully closing the door behind himself as he walked in, he gripped onto the shopping bag in his hand tightly to avoid it from falling to the ground.He had never been happier. Purposely sneaking back home a little towards midnight, he wanted everyone to be asleep as he returned home with a secret present for his wife, Lilly Goldberg.That day happened to be their third year wedding anniversary and he had been saving up for the event for quite some time now.The Goldbergs weren't a ridiculously rich family but they were okay and for what it was worth, he wanted the gift to at least be presentable.Lilly had had her eyes on an expensive brand of b
Mr Robertson let out a loud mocking laughter. “You useless loser, do you really think I will be afraid of your words? I'm your boss, remember?”“You fired me, remember?” Ryan said as he moved closer to the bed.“Stop right there!” Lilly yelled out. “Don't you dare take another step closer to us or else I'll yell and get you in trouble.”Ryan was dumbfounded, he was more than that even. He couldn't believe that those words of threat were coming from his very own wife.Mr Robertson got dressed and rose to his feet. Talking bold steps towards Ryan who actually listened to his wife and stood still, he wore a wide proud grin on his face.“Who's idea do you think it was to fire you from the very onset?” Mr Robertson asked Ryan.Ryan's brow subconsciously arched. “What– what do you mean?”“Pretty Miss Goldberg here was tired of living as a wife to a penniless fool like you and she knew that I could give her all she could ever need. But she believed that you would be a hindrance to our love s
