2024-09-10 19:42:33To Ryan's greatest surprise, the man got up from the floor, dabbed at his nose with the back of his hand. He glanced at it, noticing the blood that was now on his hand.
He looked at Ryan, an unmistakable anger had replaced the fright on the man's face."I should have known Anderson cannot be trusted," the man blared."He made me come here after setting you here. Go tell that idiot that I'm done having anything to do with him." The man hissed and went to where his clothes were.Ryan was... speechless? That was an understatement. He couldn't even bring himself to hit the man anymore."If he knows he doesn't want me to fuck his girlfriend, he should have made me aware instead of making me come here and play a fool of me." The man hissed again. He zipped his trousers."How come I wasn't even aware of it? It's been more than two months since he's been giving me excuses as to why he can't make the thing wo

The only reason he's here is to make Anderson feel some pain in his damn body, Ryan reminded himself this as he walked into the Hill's Villa.Right from the moment Ryan had left Stephanie in the hotel yesterday, he had not been able to get a grip on his anger. He had let a lot of punches at the punching bag, played baseball, ran around a field as many times as he could imagine, but still, this had not been able to soothe his anger.How could Anderson do that to a woman?Hell, it doesn't matter if Stephanie is Anderson's girlfriend or fiancee or whatever it is they called themselves, nothing gives Anderson any right to drug Stephanie without her consent and set her up with a man. If he had not shown up in that hotel yesterday, that man would have definitely raped Stephanie. The thought alone made another set of seething rage to arise in Ryan's body.The thing he hates most, he convinces himself, is for a man not t

A gasp escaped Stephanie's lips. She covered her mouth with her hand."What did you just say, Anderson?" It was Stephanie's mother who broke the silence first."I'm sorry, mother…" Anderson muttered, looking down and biting his lip as if he regretted saying what he said. He had actually been meaning to get Ryan in trouble all these while. There is no fucking time better than this."No, Anderson, talk to me. What did you say just now?" Stephanie's mother asked again, her lips trembling in what Anderson had known to be rage."Well...actually…" Anderson continued looking down. He raised his head slightly before looking down again, trying as much as possible not to meet anyone's glance.Stephanie's mother stood up from where she had been sitting all along, she walked over Anderson. "Son, talk to me." Her voice was extremely quiet. Extremely angry."Mother, I just mistakenly said that. I shouldn't have sa

"Eh! We are in trouble," someone broke the silence long after Ryan had left."Real big trouble." "I knew the boy meant trouble when grandfather brought him that day."Someone started crying. "I insulted him once. What would he do to me? If he could steal the partnership document, there is no telling what he can do," another person said."See the way he even spoke and left. He obviously has no respect for anyone.""He's not even denying that he raped Stephanie.""God! What do we do wrong in this family?" "Wait a minute," Stewart said and the murmuring stopped. "Big brother, you said Ryan raped and drugged Stephanie twice?" "Um, yes. The second time was yesterday. I don't how he met her but he drugged her and took her to a hotel room where he raped her again. Actually, Babe called me and explained everything to me. I figured out that… Well, I wasn't going to mention all t

Stephanie slammed the door after she had finally succeeded in convincing Alice that she was okay and that she wasn't planning to commit suicide and wasn't watching any of those videos about a hundred ways to die."What the hell are you doing, Anderson?" "Don't you need to rest?" He asked."Are you kidding me? Rest? I asked you a question."Anderson Sat on the bed and leaned backward, using his hands to support his weight. He stretched out his long legs in front of him."Babe, what exactly are you asking me?""Why did you lie? You and I know Ryan has never drugged me.""But he has raped you before," Anderson said, a serious expression on his face."He didn't rape me."Anderson scoffed. "He didn't rape you? Have you forgotten what you told me on my second day here?" Stephanie remembered it. She remembered how she had told Anderson

As soon as Ryan got home, he ordered pizza and sat down to set up the plasma television. He has really never enjoyed the one week vacation. There is no better time to enjoy it than now. Who knows what might happen when he gets back to work next week?He took the remote from the stand and turned on the plasma TV. It brought a few prompts which he followed. The television was still loading the channels when his phone rang. From the screen of the phone, Ryan realized it was Landon calling."Man, how are you doing?" "I have a small problem.""Small enough to kill?" Ryan asked, trying to joke."Yeah. You could say that.""Hey, are you kidding?" "Well, the rent for the house where I'm living is due and the landlord already threw my stuff out. As I'm talking to you now, my properties are outside."Ryan relaxed. "That's crazy but I don't think something like that can kill you

Ryan shrugged. "I already divorce her." Landon unclenched his fists. He shook his head slowly. He had been thinking about that incident at the party when Ryan confronted Anderson. With the tension between those two that day, Landon had started wondering if Ryan had really divorced Stephanie. Later, he had heard about the news of Stephanie's fiancée being Anderson.Now as he looked at Ryan, he could only shake his head and imagine what it felt like being envied when what Ryan was facing was pure hell. He'd rather live as a poor man than have some woman treat him like some piece of rag. Forget about what he told Ryan the other day, he was just bluffing and trying to discourage Ryan from divorcing Stephanie. If he had any idea it was this complicated, he would have literally drafted out the divorce letter for Ryan if he couldn't do it."I wish to be like you when I grow up," Landon said.Ryan laughed. They both wen

"Good. Where is he heading to?" "His house. I mean, his rest house.""Okay." Ryan hung up.He glanced at the time. One hour and thirty minutes to go. He still has enough time to visit Logan.None of the work on his table is really important. By the time he comes back, he'd be able to finish them up.Ryan grabbed his key from the table and went out of his office, heading to the garage where he parked his car. He noticed some people, about five of them, one of them had a camera, he seemed to be filming something. Ryan frowned. The security guard at the gate has been clearly warned not to allow reporters in the company. Just how did these ones slip in? Since they won the case against the Lt Group, the reporters have not stopped coming, trying to get a word with some of the workers here. What those reporters don't know is that most of the workers here don't have a clue of what has been

Reporters have never been normal people to Ryan and they won't start being one now. He hissed. "Take off your heels from my phone.""Mr. Man, are you not going to apologize for what you said earlier? As a manner of courtesy, you should just say 'I'm sorry'," Isaac said."Tell your madam to take off her heels from my phone.""What?! Madam? Did you just call me a madam? I will kill you!" Really if Ryan had known telling reporters what he said earlier would have gotten this much on their nerves, he'd have said it to a lot of reporters when he was still back at New York. Maybe that would have lessened the numbers of microphones shoved at his mouth.The woman was going to say something when she stopped. She looked in front of her and took her heels from Ryan's phone. She folded her arms as if waiting for the right person who would make the judgment."I didn't know this is t

“I was coming to check on you, sir,” the butler said. “Are you the one waiting for me inside?” The butler nodded. “Yes, sir.” For some seconds, it didn't make sense for Ryan. The butler…did the butler cause him to lose his memory? The butler took out a gun from his pocket and handed it over to Ryan. “There are forty bullets in there, I'll be waiting in the party. I saw a guy who caught my attention.” He winked at Ryan before walking away. Ryan sighed in relief. It really wouldn't have been funny if it was the butler who caused his amnesia. Slowly, Ryan walked in. In the center of the empty room were two men on their knees. He couldn't recognize one of them but he knew fully well who the second man was. His mother's only brother. The same man who had been by his side and comforted him when his mother died. Ryan adjusted the gun and pointed at the other man's head. He shot him dead with two bullets. He held the gun against his mother's brother's temple.

Ryan stood rooted in the spot and tried to process the information. The girl he saved when he was eight was Stephanie? His father knew but still made a fool of him by making him carry out stupid assignment by using the Hill family to threaten him? He stared at his father. “You know what, dad? You're unbelievable.” He started toward the door. “Ryan…you are not the only one affected by your mother's death! You get it?” “Like hell, you were affected. Like hell, you missed her way more than I did. But what…?” Ryan laughed. “You made no attempt to find out who murdered her. What a way to miss someone.” “We have different ways of handling losses. This is just my way.” Ryan turned to look at his father. “You handled it in a very pathetic way.” “Thank you, but what would I have done? Left all the work and cried all day? Would that bring her back?” “Dad, stop, will you? Nothing will ever bring her back, yeah, but you are just making excuses. You allowed the fact that you thou

Ryan ran his hand through his hair. “I'm sorry I lied to you.” “No problem, man. Things might have been awkward if you told me straight up that you were Lopez's heir,” Landon said. “By the way, what clothes do you wanna wear? I could choose for you if you are confused.” “I'll really love that.” Landon checked the clothes one after the other. He took out five pieces of clothing and dropped them on the bed. “You can try those,” he said. “Was it the butler who invited you here?” Ryan asked. “No. Your father called me a week ago and made me promise to come with our neighbors.” “Are our neighbors here too?” Ryan asked in surprise. “Yeah and don't worry, your father sponsored their transport fare.” Ryan rolled his eyes. “Of course he's supposed to do that since he invited them.” “We arrived last night.” “I'm really disappointed in you guys. Abbie too? She kept it a secret from me…” Ryan grumbled as he tried one of the clothes. Landon chuckled. “Um…Lewis came with Brenda too.

Ryan stared at the worker for a few seconds. Has she lost her mind? “What did you say?” Ryan asked some seconds later. “Master had collapsed, sir.” “Where is he right now?” “At the hospital, sir.” “Which hospital?” Ryan grabbed a car key from the top of the drawer. “I don't have an…” Ryan didn't hear the rest of her words as he ran outside. A driver was waiting for him. He got in and the car sped on. “Does this happen often?” Ryan asked the driver. “No, sir. This is the first time something like this has ever happened, sir.” Ryan tried to control his knee jerk but it was impossible. Why should his father collapse on his birthday? The thought of losing the only family he had left brought numbness to his whole body. The car came to a halt in front of a big building. Ryan opened the car door and ran toward the gate. He ran inside. He stopped and looked around. This place looks nothing like a hospital. He was about to go back to meet the driver when he saw people coming out

A really bad headache was what Ryan woke up to the next morning. What a way to start a birthday, he thought. He took the phone beeping on the bed. He checked the time. Seven a.m. He had a thousand messages from strange numbers. Yeah. He's back to this kind of life where he cannot have a private number. All the messages were congratulatory messages from people he had no idea who they were. Just as he clicked on one, ten more messages appeared. Ryan tossed the phone on the bed and got up. Just how people always figure out his number will remain a mystery to him. He went to the bathroom and grabbed his toothbrush. An idea came up in his head. “Ryan, we are no longer a kid…” he scolded himself but still, he dropped the toothbrush and walked to the end of his room where the digital scale was. He stood on it. He hasn't gained any weight. He went to the stadiometer his height hasn't increased too. He started laughing. What the hell is he doing? He is really not trying

Ryan glanced at his father. He wanted to remind him that he was supposed to hand over the Right Life to him when he is twenty five but the man doesn't seem like he was ready to listen to anything else. Ryan looked at the men still on their knees. “I promise to do my best as your leader and not let you down.” There was the sound of gunshots, then total silence. For some seconds in which everyone processed the change of leadership, there was silence. At once, all the men got on their feet and together, they bowed at Ryan. “I should have known you guys were planning something dangerous when you told me a surprise was waiting for me,” Ryan said later that evening as he went with butler to the lounge. “That isn't a surprise. Your birthday is tomorrow.” “If that isn't a surprise, what the hell are you guys planning to do with me again?” Ryan asked. “You'll love it, sir. I'm sure of that.” The lounge was already set with tables filled with drinks. After they sat down, the butler

“Is this an interview?” Ryan asked without looking at the man.“No…”“Stop asking me questions then.”Since the spread of the rumor about Anderson having something to do with the drop in the stock market, people have been coming out and talking about one bad thing or the other that Anderson did to them. The FBI had checked his house and he has been declared as wanted but since Ryan discarded the stupid guy's body, no one has been able to find him.Ryan tried to sleep throughout the rest of the ride to keep off the annoying whispers about him flying around the plane. Some people have an annoying habit of never minding their business.As soon as the plane landed, Ryan hurried out. Even with that, some people still managed to follow him. The guards that the butler had come with at the gate were the ones who rescued him in the end.The butler opened the door to a white Lamborghini for Ryan before sitting beside hi

Ryan dropped his cross bag on the sofa and walked to the fridge. He opened it. He was still deciding on what to drink when Landon came into the sitting room.“You're ready?” Landon asked.“Yeah.” He finally settled for a bottle of water.“You're not inviting Stephanie?” “I already told you there is no party for me. I'm just going to see what my old man planned to surprise me with this time around.” Landon nodded rather vigorously. What's up with that smirk on Landon's face?“How's Abbie?” Landon waved his hand. “I hate her with all my heart. Don't mention her name around me anymore.”Ryan opened the seal of the water, he tried not to laugh as he drank the water.“Why is she getting all worked up over nothing?” Landon asked, anger on his face.“Why did you make the prank? How'd you feel if you heard her making a call to another guy and telling him she loves him?” “This is different,

Stephanie frowned. “What are you talking about?” Cathy gave a white paper to Stephanie. Stephanie collected it and opened it carefully. In it was the neatly written handwriting of her father. ‘Dear, Stephanie. I am assuming you are twenty two now. How do you look? Beautiful? I'm sure of that. I have always been proud of you and I'll always be. Your skills and your curiosity to know more is something that makes you my favorite— I'm hoping Stewart has overcome his jealousy issue and won't throw a tantrum because of this. ‘Stephanie, you are to take this letter to Carlos Lopez. He and I agreed that you and Ryan Lopez, his son, would get married once you both turn twenty two. I would have told you this earlier but I don't want you to feel pressured. If by any chance you already found someone you love before coming across this letter, discard this idea. But if not, you could try dating Ryan Lopez. If you find out he's someone y
