For a moment, Ryan noticed the anger on Edison's face turn to fear. He looked really vulnerable despite being in a suit worth two million dollars.
"Max? Who the hell is Max that you think you can threaten me with?""Max from the organization of women's rights. He's just a call away." Ryan reached into his pocket to pick out his phone."Okay. You'll meet the real boss." Edison said. With the fear in his eyes, he seemed to have aged twice."If he agrees to meet you, he will contact you before the end of today."Ryan took another envelope and placed it on the table. "You'd better make him want to meet me if you don't want those women on the news tomorrow morning.""I will tell him. I promise. Please don't take any hasty steps."Ryan shrugged. "That depends on you. I'm only giving you five hours. It should be more than enough.""Okay, Sir."Quickly, before EdiRelated Chapters

Anderson knew he wasn't the one but since no one was taking credit for it, he might as well do that. "Who else could it be? You only informed Stewart and babe and she told me about it. Who else could it have been?" Anderson asked, instead of answering the question directly.Mrs Hill blushed. "What a son. You're more than ten thousand sons, Anderson.""Anderson, you know what? From now on, you're my role model," Stewart said.Stephanie couldn't believe Anderson would do something as big as that without telling her. She thought she already knew all of him that was there to know but, hell, Anderson has shown her another side of him that she couldn't have imagined. She leaned over and whispered to his ear, "I promise to buy you dinner tonight." She kissed him.****Ryan drove to the address someone had sent him. Obviously, it was from the real boss of the Lt company. T

"Good news is, if you remain stubborn, not only you are going down. Right in front of you, your family members, your loved ones would die before I finally put an end to your life." Jed dropped the bottle of vodka and looked Ryan in the eyes."Be careful, Ryan. I'm not as patient as I look.""I will be off. I think we're done discussing," Ryan said."Can you handle it?" Jed asked as Ryan was about to stand up. "Can you handle the pain I am about to make you go through? One that is more painful than death itself?""Bring it on, Jed." Ryan smiled. Jed nodded. He also smiled. Jed waved at Ryan as he left the bar, but Ryan didn't wave back. As Ryan drove in his GMC, he let out his hand through the window. The night was cool. He didn't allow himself to think about all Jed's threats but he couldn't help the wandering of his mind. How many of his loved ones are here in Atlanta? Brenda… Who e

Ryan looked around. Was the waiter really talking to him? Before he could ask the waiter what was wrong, he heard the door to the restaurant slam shut. As Ryan went back to his GMC, he almost glanced at his reflection in the door just to be sure he had not grown horns. This is the third restaurant that he would be sent away from tonight without reasons. He couldn't understand what was happening. He decided to drive to another restaurant just to see if he would receive the same treatment from them. He found another restaurant and went inside. This time, no one gave him weird looks or told him to get out. He found an empty table and sat down. A minute passed. No waiter came around to ask him for what he wanted. Two minutes later, no one looked at his side. Three minutes, still nothing. He raised his hand to call the attention of one of the waiters. One of them saw him but he soon looked away. Ryan noticed that

Ryan stared blankly at Clark. He knew Clark was pretty close to Mrs Hill. Maybe she had mentioned the amnesia to him but… how could Clark accuse him of faking his amnesia?"In our days, young men were capable and respectful. They don't dare eye what doesn't belong to them," Mr Clark added.Ryan smiled and nodded slowly. "I guess you don't have any problem with me since I already divorced her. You can speak to her mother yourself so that —""Shut your mouth, stupid boy and listen to me. Go to the Villa right now and tell her every good thing about me. Tell how much power I have and how I will treat her like the princess she is. Also, tell her that you regret getting married to her and also apologize to her for the inconvenience you've caused for the two of us and…" Clark raised his voice slightly, "tell her you're an excuse for a man."Ryan chuckled. "You mean I should go to Stephanie and tell her I'm an excuse for a man?"<

What was even more funny was the emoji of Clark that was going all over social media pages. The shocked look on his face when the governor pronounced him out of office. A lot of memes posts were made with 'the shock on his face' on social media. Ryan had a good laugh at it. Now that Ryan remembered that Clark had been the reason why he and Stephanie had their first fight after marriage, he laughed more at the memes.That night, Ryan remembered, Stephanie had told him that because of him, Clark was having a fight with her mother. Ryan remembered asking Stephanie if she would have gotten married to Clark if her grandfather had not asked them to get married. Well, for asking that question, Ryan had spent a week sleeping by the door to their room on the cold floor with Stephanie occasionally throwing him new clothes in the morning before locking the door. And because Stephanie's grandfather was still alive then, he had not dared sleep in the sitting room for

"Damn. What the hell," the guy behind the wheel said. He glanced at Ryan."Who sent you?" Ryan asked, already pointing his gun at the limping guy's boss.The limping guy's boss raised his two hands as evidence of surrender."I have no idea, Sir." "Do you want to have an experience of what your friend is going through right now?" Ryan nodded at the limping guy who was now groaning, his eyes closed."I am telling the truth, Sir. I don't know who sent us. We just received an order from someone in the Hill conglomerate," the guy said."Hill?" Ryan asked. Why would anyone from the hill family want him dead? "I swear. It was from there. Please don't kill us."Ryan studied the two guys. He was sure the person who wanted him dead wasn't from the Hill family. There could be a lot of shady things going on in those companies that the Hill family handled but he was sure killing wasn

Mrs Hill answered the call from Stewart, expecting him to be shouting in joy but instead, she was met with a cold silence that pronounced failure of their mission even before Stewart said it."Mom, I don't know how he managed to escape," Stewart said at the other end of the line.Mrs Hill let out an exasperated breath. "We'll discuss later." For now, only she and Stewart were on the mission to kill Ryan. Stephanie is too kind-hearted to want to do something like that so she has not better been carried along."Who was that?" Stephanie asked when her mother ended the call."Some somebody," Mrs Hill said in a tired voice. She was starting to get frustrated about the whole thing. "Is Stewart now 'some somebody'?" Mrs Hill shot Stephanie a hard look. "This is happening all because of you, girl.""What?""Oh. You don't know? You've forgotten that if you had not married Ryan al

For some reasons which Ryan couldn't explain, he had been sitting inside his yellow GMC for the past twenty minutes, watching cars as they pulled in front of the hall where the charity event he had been invited to was going to take place.If he had not been told that this was a charity event, he would have believed that the parking lot was where cars were sold. He spotted different cars. Expensive ones. He also watched as the owners of the cars came out from the car with great caution, as if afraid that the floor was too dirty for their shoes to come in contact with. Even with his window slightly wound down, he felt like he was in some chemistry lab, mixing different out-of-the-world scents together. His phone beeped on the console. He checked it. It was a message from Brenda asking him if he had arrived at the place. Ryan, feeling quite mischievous, replied that he had lost his way and where he was now is a desert.Brenda se

“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
