"Someone who gets things done," Ryan smirked. Jane, still shaken by recent events, could not help but ask another question as they drove home."How did you get the cops to show up so quickly without going to the station to file a report?" she inquired, curiosity evident in her voice.He glanced at her with a smile. "Don't you remember someone's been hanging around the police station a lot lately?""As it turns out, a high-ranking officer appreciates how I've been playing hero to stop awful things—unlike you—and we've become acquainted," he added.When she pressed him about the cop's identity, he smirked. "Why are you so eager to know who it is?"Deciding not to push the issue further, she fell silent, her mind racing with unanswered questions. Her thoughts were interrupted when he spoke again."I think it will be better to visit your grandmother tomorrow morning to tell her about this. I think she would be impressed to hear about this. Who would have thought we could pull it off?" he

As Ryan had expected, the rest of Jane's family was gathered in the living room, deep in conversation. Unlike Ryan, Jane was surprised to see her family meeting without her. They were equally shocked to see her and Ryan show up uninvited.“What’s going on here?” Jane demanded, her tone sharp with confusion, though she was not addressing anyone specific.“Why are you here, Jane? Didn’t grandmother already disown you?” Ethan sneered.“Actually—" Jane began, but Ryan cut her off before she could finish.“We thought it would be polite to visit my father-in-law one last time before my wife gets disowned,” he said.Jane's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Ryan, but he didn’t meet her gaze.“Seems like Grandmother has already made her decision before the deadline even hit,” he added with a smirk.Grandmother scoffed, turning her gaze to Jane. “So, you’ve finally decided to spend the rest of your life with this loser who has nothing but a blurry dream? How pathetic.”She continued, “Sin

Everyone's eyes widened in shock at Ryan's words."What did you just say?" Ethan scoffed, his voice dripping with derision.Ryan shrugged casually. "I’m pretty sure everyone heard me loud and clear. My wife and I may have figured out a way to get the shipment back."Ethan shot to his feet, furious. "Do you think this is some kind of joke?! How dare you make light of grandmother's words?!"But Ryan stayed calm, his face unreadable.Ethan turned to Jane, who was still in shock."I don’t blame him, but you to bring this loser into our family, someone who doesn’t take things seriously," he spat at her.To his surprise, their grandmother stepped in and calmly told him to sit down."And what is this solution of yours?" Grandmother demanded. Ryan chuckled. "You don’t really expect me to spill the plan, do you? We can’t have everyone here taking credit for it.""You think this is a game? In case you and your wife are too dumb to realise, this is about survival! The survival of this family's

Stopping his car on a quiet street where he and Emma had agreed to meet, Ryan alighted and strode over to her car."It's really you," she chuckled immediately after he entered the car. "Well, yes. Here I am. And thanks for helping me out yesterday." He thanked her, smiling."You know, I was surprised when your uncle told me about you? Why did you choose this life?" She inquisitively asked him.He chuckled. "After what happened to my family—the incident that nearly cost me my life—I decided to leave it all behind and live a quiet, simple life. But I guess I was never meant for that kind of life."Her eyes widened in shock. "Wait, so Jane Lin has no idea who you really are?"He explained that only she and his uncle knew the truth about his identity."And I intend to keep it that way," he added. “Then why are you married to her?” she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity. She leaned forward, trying to grasp his real motive behind keeping his identity a secret."I didn’t come here to

At the edge of a silent riverside, the only sounds breaking the stillness were the soft lap of waves against the shore and the distant rumble of an approaching truck. Ryan was the person behind the wheel.The truck came to a halt beside his parked car, where his uncle was already waiting.As soon as Ryan parked the truck, he alighted from there."How did it go?" his uncle asked as Ryan pulled off his mask."Mission accomplished," Ryan responded, urgency in his voice as he headed straight for the truck’s back. He began unloading the shipment he had hijacked from the cops, who had been transporting it to a "secure location," the commissioner had announced in a press conference earlier, where it would be stashed.Thanks to Emma’s tip, he had known exactly when and where the cops would be transporting the shipment, and he had pulled off the heist by outsmarting and overpowering them, all while keeping his face hidden behind a mask."Are you just going to stand there, or do I need to spel

While Ryan was in the shower, Jane slipped into his room and sat on the bed, waiting to ask him the questions that had been plaguing her since he showed her the shipments, knowing it would take a small army to pull off something like that.As he stepped into the bedroom, still dripping with water, their eyes locked, creating a palpable tension between them.For a moment, she swallowed hard, stunned by the sight of his sculpted abs and defined biceps, the water glistening on his skin.He shook his head slightly, breaking the silence and snapping her out of her daze."Is it because you own this house that you think you can just invade my privacy?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Ever heard of knocking?"She quickly apologised before getting to the question weighing on her mind.He scoffed. "You are surprised I could pull off what no one in your family could? If you had believed me when I said I would, it wouldn't be such a shock.""I'm not leaving until you tell me how you got the shipm

Ryan was jolted awake by a faint sound in the dead of night: footsteps.For a moment, his heart raced, his senses on edge, but then a cool calm settled over him.He moved to the window.Barely shifting the curtain, he peered out just enough to spot three figures outside, moving like shadows across the yard. They were quiet, but not quiet enough.A quiet chuckle slipped from his lips. “They have no idea what they’ve walked into.”They thought they were hunting, but they had just stepped into the wolf’s den. It didn't matter who they were and what they wanted, he would make them regret this.Silently, he slipped out of his room, moving swiftly down the hall. He needed to make sure Jane and Lauren were safe—there was no room for casualties. "Ryan? Can’t you see it’s the middle of the night?" She mumbled, her voice thick with sleep, as she opened the door, answering his knock. "What is it?"Her sleepy expression quickly turned to shock when he told her they were not alone."What? Are yo

Jane sank into the couch in the living room, her fingers tracing the glass of juice as she sipped.The meeting with her family still replayed in her head—her stepbrothers' protests, Margaret's cold glares, and the final, game-changing announcement from her grandmother. "She did what none of you could, and I made a promise," her grandmother had declared, silencing the room.She exhaled, satisfied, as she set the glass down on the side table. "The next step is to claim what is mine."She knew it wouldn’t be easy. Taking control of the family's fortune would be a battle considering all she had endured, but now, with Ryan by her side, she had the strength and determination to go after it. Her original goal had been modest—just a seat at the decision-making table. But after witnessing the cruelty of her family, she now wanted more. She wanted it all.Reaching for the remote, she turned on the TV, but what flashed across the screen froze her in place. A breaking news headline blared acro
