2024-07-14 19:40:09Quickly, Stephanie tore her gaze from Ryan. She grabbed her cup from the table and down the wine. It did nothing to help the anger coursing through her. Seriously? Ryan came here with another woman? First it was Brenda, now it's another girl?
Across her, Anderson maintained his stare on Ryan. He smiled at Ryan.Ryan didn't return Anderson's smile. He looked away from both Stephanie and Anderson, taking a last note on Anderson's face. The smile was just a facade. The dark look Ryan caught in Anderson's eyes was enough to convince Ryan that Stephanie's angry face was much better than Anderson's smile.After they had been served and had eaten for a while, Piper cleared her throat.Ryan poured her some water but she didn't drink it, instead, she leaned toward him."Brother Rye…" her voice was in a whisper."Are you okay?" He asked, his voice was not in a whisper like hers."Shhh…" she plac

Ryan laughed. "Mr Carson, your father, and I are friends. You know what it would feel like if we date?" Piper shook her head. Somewhere deep in her heart was a familiar feeling. One she had grown used to wherever she had anything to do with guys. Hurt."It would feel like incest," Ryan said. "And it would be awkward."Piper burst out laughing, and Ryan joined her."You know, I was just fooling around. Do you think I can date you?" Ryan smiled too. "I knew you were joking."Piper tried to smile. She tried not to let the fucking tears forming in her eyes to fall. She blinked repeatedly and picked at her food. "I am off to the restroom. I'll be back," she heard Ryan say. She nodded. She couldn't look at him.Some hours ago when Ryan had hugged her after the incident with the tailers, she had felt Ryan was the guy for her. She had thought she had finally met someone she wou

"You are the worst liar I have ever met," Stephanie said.Ryan snapped out of his fantasy. He loved a different Stephanie. The Stephanie he loved back then is gone. This Stephanie standing in front of him is the one who moaned another man's name while they were… damn it. A frown caressed his face as he remembered that night."What does it matter to you who I date? Do you think we are still married?" Ryan asked.Stephanie laughed. She staggered. Ryan thought she was going to fall but she maintained her balance after some moment."You… have I ever told you?" She laughed. "You're cute when you're angry." She staggered again."Don't threaten me with divorce. You…" she laughed again. "You can't divorce me. You love me. Like… love me so much."Ryan shook his head. Just how much did she drink to get this drunk? She is very good at handling alcohol. "Ryan… you… we can't be divorced. Huh?" She

Brenda came in after the door had been opened. She looked at Ryan. Stephanie was leaning on him, her head on his shoulder. She bit back the disappointment nagging her. When she had gotten Ryan's call, the last thing she had expected he would talk about was Stephanie. After everything Stephanie has done to him, she found it hard to believe Ryan would still want to have anything to do with her. "What happened?" She asked, taking her eyes off Stephanie's back. "I think she is drugged." Brenda wanted to ask Ryan what his business was with Stephanie. For all she cared, Stephanie might as well go to hell! But she didn't say all that, she fixed her eyes on Ryan instead. She came here because of him, not her. "For how long have you been here, waiting?" She asked, looking around the little restroom. She ignored whatever it was at the back of her mind wondering what might have happened between Ryan and Stephanie while they stayed here. "Not long. You came right on time." Ryan sta

Had Piper left without waiting for him? He went back outside and dialed Piper's number. She didn't answer the call.He tried calling her repeatedly but it was still the same. She wasn't answering the call.Why would she have gone instead of waiting for him? Not knowing what to do, he tried calling her number again, this time, it was switched off.He frowned. Switched off? Is she upset or something?With a frustrated hiss, he started toward the road to find a cab. That temper of Piper can be really annoying. What was so difficult for her to wait until he was back? After the hectic day he had, he couldn't believe he had to deal with Piper's attitude being like this. While he searched for a cab, he glanced at the parking lot. The exact place he had parked the Ferrari. Was it possible that Piper had left on her own? He frowned, thinking about the possibility of Piper leaving on her own.

She swallowed hard. What the fuck was happening? "What's the fuck is happening?" She snapped."Shh. Don't raise your voice," Anderson whispered. For a man in his position to look that scared, Piper's heart beat faster against her ribs."We've been kidnapped," he whispered again.Piper wasn't ready to believe that but looking at how rough and dirty his white suit had become, she couldn't help but… believe a bit of what he was saying."You've been unconscious for a long time," Anderson added."How long?""I'm not sure. I'm relieved that you are awake," Anderson said.Piper looked around the room again. There was no door at the entrance of the room. Shs glanced at Anderson. He seemed to have followed her eyes and knew what she was thinking of."I already checked. There is a door in the other room.""Have any of the bastards who brought us here com

At that moment, she remembered the incident of the SUVs that had been on their tail. Ryan had been so calm about everything as if he expected it. She felt like a fool for having believed Ryan was a calm guy. A good man. A great big brother. A part of her still felt there might be a misunderstanding somewhere and that Anderson might not know the Ryan she was talking about. "Anderson, are you fucking sure of all these?" Piper found herself asking, even though it sounded stupid to her ears."Actually, I don't have any intention of convincing you about anything. I just… I felt I should let you know about your boyfriend." Piper glanced at Anderson, she wanted to tell him off to hell for telling her all that stuff about Ryan but she bit back all the cuss in her throat when she saw the hurt in his face."I'm fucking sorry. I didn't mean that."Anderson turned his back to her. For a moment, no one said an

As she stared at him, Piper saw the anger… was that anger? Fuck. What she was seeing in Ryan's eyes was pure fury. It might have been for a second, but Piper realized that she didn't entirely believe all what Anderson had told her."Once we kill Ryan, I will make sure to fuck you until you lost the use of your legs." Ryan heard the man grabbing Piper's hair say.Piper must have been screaming before… She couldn't tell, her throat ached. She heard a loud scream when she saw Ryan moving toward them. She couldn't tell if the scream was from her or not "Run, brother Rye. Run, they're going to kill you!" She couldn't believe the loud shout was from her, all she knew was that the shout conveyed what was on her mind.Barely had Ryan heard Piper's shout for him to run when some men surrounded him. He couldn't tell where they had come from. He couldn't count them. All he noticed was that they surrounded him, holding clubs in their hand

The man was slightly surprised by Ryan's gut to hold the steel pipe. With his second hand, he held the pipe at the other end, making Ryan's hand to be in the middle.It all happened in a flash; Ryan twisted the pipe, the man held tightly to it. The snapping of the bone in the man's wrist as Ryan twisted harder, the fear in the man's green eyes as he tried to understand what was happening.The first thing Ryan had learnt about life when it comes to dealing with an enemy was to leverage on his enemies' fears. And that was what he did. He suddenly let go of the pipe. Due to the man's tight grip on the pipe, he flew across the room. It was as if all the forces holding him, the force of friction making it position for the green eyes man to remain on his feet had gone against his favour. His flying body finally found rest at the corner of the room. His body lay still on the floor.All the other men in the room had been discussing an

“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
