"'Mr Ryan'?" Alice looked from her friend to Ryan. She quickly glanced back at her friend. "Don't tell me you know him, Elsie.""What happened? Why is everyone standing here?""Assuming you got some security guards like I suggested, all these wouldn't be happening. Ryan wouldn't have tried to come near the place without an access card.""Access card? What are you talking about?""I don't know how you knew Ryan but don't be fooled by his innocent face. He is the biggest liar you'd ever see. He came here with the hope that his charms would get him a free pass—""How dare you, Alice!"Alice was startled by Elsie's shout. Her purse fell from her hand."Apologize for calling me Ryan a liar," Elsie snapped."Apologize? Do… Do you even know what you're talking about? Or…" Her eyes widened.

"A whopping three years." He shook his head. "You know what I've achieved in the past three years?" He raised his shoulders slightly. "I have built five houses, traveled to… um, how many countries?" He looked at the ceiling for some moment before looking back at Ryan. "I lost count."Ryan glanced around the table, just like he predicted, everyone on the table was looking at him, disgust in their eyes."Actually, Jonah, we don't have to hear about how many countries you've been," Ryan said to dismiss him.Jonah scoffed. "What are you even doing here? Look around," he waved around the hall. "Do you see people like you here?" "Who even allowed him here?" Ryan heard a woman murmur. A few people hissed."Seeing the way you are dressed, I can tell you're from one of those mom-and-pop companies seeking to gain connection but no one will want to make connections with you here," Jonah said.Ry

"Sir… did you just say you'd offer five hundred million dollars because of Mr Jonah?" The MC asked, eyeing the clothes Ryan was putting on."Is anything wrong with that?" Ryan asked, a smile at the corner of his lips as he watched Jonah's shocked face."Nothing… Sir," the MC said, smiling uneasily to conceal his surprise.Jonah dashed toward Ryan, he pulled Ryan's shirt, pure fury in his eyes. "Is this a joke to you, Ryan? Do you think you can afford a minute of my time?""I knew it," the woman on the table who had murmured earlier when Jonah was humiliating Ryan said. "I knew from his clothes that he was joking."With the microphone still with the MC, he hissed. "That was a costly joke. I almost believed him.""If you have a difference to settle, do it somewhere else," someone said."Five hundred million dollars? I knew it was impossible," someone chimed in.

Stephanie pulled away from Anderson and glared at Ryan. "Just so you know that divorcing you is the best thing that has ever happened to me." She didn't wait for Ryan to say anything before she walked away. Anderson looked at Ryan and Elizabeth for some minutes, as if unsure of whether he should remain here or go after Stephanie, but he soon went after her after some moments.After they left, Elizabeth burst into laughter. Ryan looked at her with a brow raised."That woman still loves you," she said."What made you say that?" "Didn't you see the way she was hugging that other guy awkwardly?

My wife and I have tried a lot of doctors but…" his voice was becoming hoarse. "Nothing has changed.""Like I said, I could ring the doctor right now so you can hear from him."Patton took in a deep breath and looked at Ryan.

Ryan watched Anna walk slowly to the dead child on the sofa. He was expecting her to burst into tears, jump around hysterically and scream her lungs out but she didn't do any of that, she knelt by the sofa and held the girl's hand.The action was familiar to Ryan. When a worker, back in his house in New York, had come to him to announce the death of his mother. He'd ran to her room, thinking that the worker had made a mistake. Inside his mother's room, everyone was crying. He even saw a drop of tears run down his tough father's face, but he had been emotionless. He had wanted to cry, he had wanted to throw himself on the floor, shout, scream and do a lot of things, but he had not found the energy to do it. He had just held his mother's cold hands and stared at her.Ryan bit hard on his lower lip as he watched Anna trying to process the death of her daughter.

“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.

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
