2024-07-05 19:40:20Ryan shocked Brice more with his reply. "What if they knew? Everyone starts from somewhere."
Brice scoffed. "What?" Definitely, Ryan has too much confidence for someone who doesn't have any experience in this job."What exactly are you getting at, Mr Ryan?"Ryan shrugged. "I am just trying to tell you that you don't have to be worried about the fact that I am not used to this. I can learn anything."Brice stopped pacing around. He had tried to think of anything that the board of members might have seen in Ryan to have made him the executive director, but so far, he had not been able to figure out any reason why someone like him would be placed in a position like this."Mr Ryan, what exactly were you expecting when you came here? Did you by any chance think that you were coming here to laze around?""I—"Brice raised his hand to stop Ryan. "I am not done, Mr Ryan. This is the only way

Brice stormed inside. He hit his fist on Ryan's table."There is a commotion in the waiting room. I can't believe you are still here," Brice said angrily."Commotion?" Ryan frowned."Are you going to continue sitting there, Mr Ryan? I said there is commotion. Don't you understand what that means too?" Ryan stood up. "What exactly is happening?" His voice was calm, a contrast to Brice's shout."Someone is throwing a fit in the waiting room and is disrupting the company's business."Ryan started at the door only for Brice to stay in front of him. "You know, Mr Ryan, this isn't a good omen.""What?" "It's your first day here and commotion is happening. Even when you came, the gate guard couldn't recognize you as someone who can be the new executive director and I got to know you don't have any experience in this work," Brice said."About the gat

Ryan knew what Brice was trying to get at. The bad omen that he had spoken about earlier. But Ryan ignored him. He wondered why anyone would choose to cause a commotion here of all places.Deep down, Brice knew this was his chance. It couldn't be a coincidence that on Ryan's first day here a commotion is happening and Brenda isn't here to sort things out. It was clearly the universe working with him to see that he gets his rightful position that had been given to this inexperienced man. "Shit! Will you just shut up?" Ryan heard a female shout just as they got down from the staircase. As they got nearer, Ryan heard something crashing. Somehow, it reminded him of Stephanie. It seemed like a long time ago since the incident leading to their divorce happened but it had only been two days.People had gathered around, some of them were taking video of what was happening. A man was sweating furiously, he had a frustrated look on his

Every noise in the place stopped as eyes turned to look at Ryan who had held Piper's hand. Slowly, Piper turned to see who had held her hand. A frown creased her brow when she saw Ryan. When she turned to look at him, Ryan recognised her at once. Her nose was still the way it was back then. He held back a smile at the thought. Her British accent was now very strong. "Apologize to the janitor," Ryan said calmly. Piper scoffed. "Apologize? Who the hell are you?" "Won't you apologize to him?" Ryan asked. "I have no fucking business apologizing to anyone. Who the hell are you to tell me to apologize anyway?" Her eyes darted up and down Ryan's body, fury in them. Quickly Brice came forward. "Miss Piper, I am sorry you didn't know him." He gave her a rueful smile. "Meet Mr Ryan, the new executive director of our company." "Oh. So you are the executive director of this damn company?" She asked, anger still evident on her face. "Will you now apologize to him?" Ryan asked.

"Don't tell me you ditched martial arts," Ryan said.Piper stopped screaming. She looked at Ryan very well. She realized that his face looked damn familiar. His voice sounded familiar too. Where had she seen him…? "Brother Rye!" She shouted. The pain in her eyes vanished and it became replaced with excitement. Ryan let go of her hand and immediately, she rushed into his arms, hugging him tightly."I can't believe I fucking ran into you after all these years," she said after pulling away from him. "Wow. Your martial skills are fucking impressive," she added. She touched her arm that had hurt badly when Ryan held her but as soon as he released her, the pain vanished. Not even a single mark was on her arm."You gotta teach me that skill, brother Rye," Piper said.A phone fell from the hand of one of the people who had become an instant photographer and was covering the scene. No one und

Ryan looked at her. Their eyes met. She sighed and looked away."You know how fucked up my life is, right?""I don't. I mean, it isn't fucked-up unless you think it is.""I keep getting dumped by the guys I fall in love with. Most of them are just twats who lie to me and… you know that shit. They always find out that I am Mr Carson's daughter before I tell them and maybe that is why they always fake their fucking feelings for me to get some money." "You should take a break from dating. It doesn't seem like it is working for you." Piper sighed. "I thought about that too but…" she sighed again. "You think it will fucking work?"Ryan nodded. "Try it."They spoke later into the evening. Ryan didn't know how much time had passed until his phone beeped and he had to check it. It was a message from Brenda asking him if he had gone home. He quickly replied to her that he was st

Ryan couldn't stand the risk of anything happening to Piper. If he had been alone, he would have stopped to see what the owners of the cars wanted and know if they were those who abducted him but now wasn't the time to satisfy his curiosity."Sit tight," he told Piper. He suddenly moved the gear and sent the GMC down the road, past the three cars in front of him. At that moment, more black SUVs appeared. Ryan couldn't figure out where they had been hiding all the while. He continued driving at a high speed. He glanced at the side-view mirror and saw that two of the SUVs were very close behind. He stepped on the brake. The two SUVs sped past. He swerved in the opposite direction of where the two SUVs had driven.Beside him, Piper's knees were jerking nervously. She held onto the seat belt and continued murmuring cuss words."I am going to fucking kill them all. What the hell do they want?" Ryan gla

Piper pulled away from Ryan. She wished she wouldn't have to do that but it couldn't be helped. Somehow, in a way she couldn't explain, she felt damn secured. More than she had ever felt all her life even with the tight security in her apartment."I will go in now," she said.Ryan waved at her. "Take care of yourself."She smiled at him and went inside. She hadn't heard the fucking car engine's sound so she assumed Ryan was waiting for her to get inside before he leaves. She inputted the password of her apartment and opened the door. She peeped inside. It was fucking dark. Had she turned off the lights before leaving this morning? Fuck. She couldn't really remember if she always left the lights on or not. She stepped inside. She saw a movement or… did she imagine it? Her heart beating fast, she took another step inside. She was only a few meters to where the switch was when she heard a crashing sound.<

She dropped the blanket on the couch and sat beside him. "Brother Rye, there is nothing to be scared of. Personally, I can deal with any freaking person who comes near you and tries any shit." Ryan couldn't help laughing. Just look who's talking after being scared of staying in her apartment by herself."Just trust me, okay? We are going to use one of the bloody cars in the garage so that no one will recognize us. I can make you safe, brother Rye. Just trust me."Ryan sighed. Once her mind was made up, he knew there was no way to convince her otherwise. He stood up despite his tired self and went to the garage with her. He walked over to a white Toyota Camry."We are not fucking driving that, brother Rye," Piper said."What again?" "Let's go with the fucking Ferrari over there. The blue one.""Seriously…""Please," she said. "No one would fucking recognize us if we go i

“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.

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
