"You must be bored," Ryan said."Why did you say that?""Of all things to ask of, you're asking about my amnesia. So do you even remember that?""Well…" for the rest of the ride, Stephanie felt awkward saying anything. She didn't remember having this feeling around Ryan when they were married.When the car pulled in front of Villa, Ryan got down and started walking inside. Stephanie noticed that he made no attempt to open the door for her. Clearly, he's no longer a man who performs courtesy like that.Ryan walked into the sitting room of the villa. The first thing he noticed was the plasma TV that has the faces of some of the Hill family members on it. It was obviously a general family meeting, those who were not in Atlanta

"Wow. So Ryan, with this innocent face of yours, you could steal and remain calm about it?" "I've always known the boy has something up hus sleeves.""I wish grandfather were still alive to see what his favourite orphan did."Having heard enough of it, Ryan stood up. "I've to go now.""I give you three days to bring back the document and money, if not you'd be sued to court," the oldest man said."Three days are too long, uncle, do you have any idea what damage he could do with those document in the space of two hours?" Ryan heard Alice sneer as he left."He'll be responsible for everything that happens," the oldest man replied.Ryan's eyes met with Stephanie and she seemed to give him a look that said, 'I warned you'. As Ryan walked back to his car, he realized how much negative energy those people had rubbed on him. For some moments, he wondered how he had managed to s

There she goes again. If he doesn't stop her on time, it would only be a matter of seconds before she starts blaming herself for the death of Anna's daughter. So much for having a kid sister. No matter how many years, they don't outgrow whining about everything."Don't forget the good part of it. The company has gotten a free advert."Brenda glanced at him and shook her head. "I can't believe that's what you are thinking about.""As the executive director, I've to think that much. I can't focus on just the bad part."Brenda laughed. "Dad called some hours ago. He sounded pleased about everything. You know, when I first told him about it—""You told him about the Lt Group?" Ryan glanced sharply at her."Of course. That was why he sent that lawyer. What's her name again…? Elizabeth?""Oh." He should have known he would call. It's his company. The company he cherish above his wife.

Ryan got inside the kitchen and looked at Brenda. "I was wondering if you were still here." "Um, yeah. Just cleaning up stuff that had been unwashed since I was hospitalized."Ryan walked closer to her and Brenda almost stepped back. Too much for having feelings for him when he doesn't even realize it."How is your arm, for real?" He asked, looking at the arm in cast."Well, it's nothing. I mean, it doesn't hurt anymore." She lifted it up for him to see even though the action intensified the pain in her arm. What she was just trying to avoid was any skin contact. That was really inadvisable when her heart was beating this fast."I will go grab my jacket," she said and left hastily.Ryan sighed in relief. Brenda was okay. If there had been anymore painful death, he would have offered it to Jed.At the restaurant, Ryan ordered food for himself and Ryan. After the waiter br

By the time Brenda could succeed in pulling Ryan away from Stewart, all of Stewart's face was bleeding. The only noticeable injury Ryan had was a slight cut on his neck and it was from a cut that hasn't healed properly from his encounter with Jed's men."Ryan!" Brenda scolded. Ryan looked at her and smiled briefly. He took a bottle of water on the table and opened it seal. He gulped down some water.Stewart fell on the floor. He couldn't believe he had lost it just because of Ryan. Every part of his body was on fire. What was he even thinking to have plunged at Ryan like that? He was yet to recover from how Ryan dealt with him at the water fountain last time.Stephanie ran her hand through her hair. This was the last thing she wanted at a time like this. Right now, the family was divided into two parties. A party thought she had helped Ryan in stealing the document and money and a party was for her. If she had known that Ryan

Ryan managed to drag Brenda fuming with rage inside the car. He closed the door and went to the other side."They will surely be sued for this," Brenda said. She took the phone from the console. Ryan grabbed the phone from her and tossed it in the back seat."What on earth are you doing, Ryan?" "This is a matter between me and—""I am not going to sit back and watch them humiliate you. Do they think you're still married to them?" Ryan groaned and started the car. The last thing he wanted now was for the Hill family to be sued to court because of him. Sometimes, Ryan couldn't help but imagine why the Hill grandfather had made him promise to protect the family business. If not for that damn promise, he would have folded his hands and watch those people go down."Brenda, listen to what I'm about to tell—""No. Don't tell me anything. You need to show those guys where they

Ryan was going to tell her that she had no right to send him out of here because she wasn't the owner when he saw his ex mother-in-law walking toward them."What are you still waiting for? I said you should get out of here," Alice said."I am almost done." Ryan started toward the girl wrapping the flowers. "Alice, come over here," Mrs Hill said.Alice gave Ryan a hard look before going toward Mrs Hill. She whispered something in Mrs Alice's ears and all of a sudden, Mrs Hill stormed at the girl wrapping the flowers. She collected the flowers from the girl and threw them on the floor."Thief!" Alice shouted, her voice cutting through the silence in the room."Someone please hold him!" Alice shouted again. This time, a few people walked over to where she was standing with Mrs Hill and Ryan.Ryan didn't know what she was up to at first until he saw her talking to some people and pointing

When Ryan had first seen the owner of the store, he had almost, in surprise, called her name. Anna. She had also looked at him in surprise before going to address Mrs Hill. Now, it took a lot of self control for Ryan not to burst out laughing at the shock he saw in Mrs Hill's face. The type he always saw in her face whenever he told her how much food stuff was gone after the extended family left when the weekend was over."R… R-Ryan?" Mrs Hill looked from Anna to Ryan."Yes. Ryan. That is his name," Anna said."I don't care if you know him. He stole something from me," Mrs Hill busted out."The Ryan I know will never steal because why will he? What can a man who's got everything steal?Alice stormed to them from where she had been pretending to be dizzy. "Don't you dare say what you don't know. He stole a million dollars!" Alice shouted."A million dollars? Last time I c

At the mention of the name 'Anderson', Ryan's feet immediately stopped working. He looked at the two people. Even from the back view, Ryan could tell the guy was really Anderson."It's not a baby yet. It's just a week," the other person, a guy retorted.Now that Ryan listened well, he realized that the guy was really Anderson. But the woman with whom he was discussing wasn't Stephanie. Ryan was damn sure of that. Does that mean… Ryan's eyes widened. Anderson impregnated another woman?"How could you be so cruel?" From the woman's voice, Ryan could tell the woman was already crying."Call it whatever you want, but this is for the good of us.""Good of us? Do you know how many babies I have aborted for you?" The woman asked."Us. You didn't abort it for me alone, you did it for the two of us," Anderson corrected sharply."I get it now… I want to be selfish this time around. I'm going to k

“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
