Over the next few days, Ryan continued his investigation, gathering more evidence of Lindsay's fraudulent activities. He worked late into the night, meticulously documenting every irregularity and cross referencing them with official records. He discovered that the Louis and Luisa enterprise was a shell company, created to siphon funds from the business.Ryan's findings painted a damning picture of Lindsay's deception. She had been funneling money into personal accounts, using it to fund a lavish lifestyle, that included expensive vacations, luxury cars and designer clothes. Not for herself alone, but for her son and his girlfriend, and also her boy friend. Her husband was oblivious to her schemes, trusting her implicitly with the company's finances.It was about to come to an end.One evening, as Ryan was compiling his final report, he received an unexpected visitor. It was Joseph, the head of the company's legal department and a close friend of the CEO. He had heard about Ryan's in
Lindsay kept turning and tossing, holding on to her stomach, acting like she was going to die any moment, but the truth was that, she didn't want Damien to have any reason to leave the hospital. She wanted him to stay with her, she wanted to buy more time. Thinking that after what happened to her,at the office, there was no way Ryan and Joseph would want to still show him the evidences against her, just yet. She was going to buy the time, and while they are planning to get at her, she would strike them both, but she was wrong. Her scream was becoming too much that the doctor had to give her a sedative."What is wrong with her doctor? Damien asked, looking at his wife that had finally fallen asleep, after the sedative injection was given to her. She had been screaming like someone who had lost it. "From every test carried out on her, I cannot see anything that should cause her to keep acting that way, but I believe, by time she wakes up from this sleep i just put her to, she will
Weeks after Lindsay had been automatically removed from their lives. Everything seemed okay, and Ryan was begining to really enjoy himself with his wife. It felt so good to be in love. They were showing off their love everywhere they went to, and it felt like the right thing to do. Though they are yet to announce their relationship to the world, they were content in just hiding, the feeling was wild.As Alexander sat at her desk, her eyes fixated on the computer screen, but her mind wandering far from the spreadsheet in front of her. She had a restless night, her thought consumed by Ryan. Their relationship had started as a contract, but somewhere along the line, it had become something much more.And though they had established the fact that they feel something strong for eachother, Ryan had refused to take her to bed, which was somehow disturbing. They have shared so many things together, but the bed still remained sacred, it was as though he doesn't feel she is the right person fo
Still under the moonlight sky, Ryan kept adjusting himself and trying to look better, as though she hadn't seen him on his short and shirtless before. Their date was really an official one, and he was making it as such.She could see what he was doing and she smiles, for it feels good to know that he wants to keep looking dashing for her."You know". He says, and she looks up at him, raising her head a little from his chest."Tonight, is that night that will put an end to the rumors and speculations swirling around our relationship". He tells her and she nodded. He said that because, he had seen the camera flash on them as they had walked into the restaurant, and he even heard the whispers."Tonight is like a dream for me, I never knew this would happen, but I am glad it did, and I hope, that nothing changes". She was pleading with her eyes, and the moment he heard that, he was positive in his heart that nothing would change. To him, as long as Lindsay have been put away, and since
The Sun was setting, casting a warm glow over Ryan and Alexander's home. They had spent the day in blissful harmony, enjoying each other's company and were now relaxing on the porch, sipping on iced tea. Alexander leaned into Ryan's side, their hands intertwined, feeling the comfort of his presence. It was a serene moment, the kind they cherish amidst the chaos of their busy lives.But the peace was shattered, when a car pulled up abruptly in their drive way. Ryan tensed, recognizing the familiar vehicle. It belonged to Juliana his ex girlfriend. The same girl that had caused the accident that almost took Alexander's life. Alexander sat up, as she seem to also recognize the face of the driver. Ryan noticed curiosity and a hint of unease evident on her face.Juliana stepped out, her expression a mix of determination and malevolence. In her arms was a small blonde haired girl, her innocence blue eyes wide with curiosity. Ryan's heart sank, he had read the articles about him and Alexande
Ryan and Alexander stepped out, and watched Emily sit alone on the couch, playing with the hemp of her dress. Alexander's heart went for her, she looked so innocent and scared, she looked up and noticed they were watching her, she got up, and moved towards them, before she looked down again.Alexander rushed down, and met her half way, she stood staring at Alexander unsure of what to do, no one had said a word to her, since Juliana brought her, and no one seem to be willing to say anything to her."Hello dear, I am Alexander". She introduced , stretching her hand towards her.Ryan stood behind watching the drama before him and he could only fall deeper in love with his wife."I am Emily". Her tiny Innocent voice went out and it sounded like music in their ears."How old are you? Alexander asked, getting down to be on the same level with her."I am going to be four years in four month's time". She says and she looked down, she wasn't expecting the sort of scream she heard."Wow, so y
Juliana was so angry when she noticed that, What was expected isn't what she was seeing, she was so angry when she noticed that their love only grew stronger, and they even came up, showing off the little Emily to the world, and even the media she had thought was going to have something to say to her favour, only insulted her, calling her a home wrecker. she became so angry, that she thought hard about visiting them again, especially since she haven't gotten the money she wanted.She managed to get to the house when the both of them are just returning from work, and seeing her again, this time, Alexander was ready for her. "You can go in with Emily, I can handle this". She tells Ryan and he gladly left her, walking inside the house, but he wasn't surely planning to leave them entirely to themselves, for he would never forgive himself, if anything is to happen to Alexander."You didn't say hello to your mother, is there a reason you did that? He asked Emily, who didn't seem to care if
Lindsay, the elegant but cold hearted step mother of Alexander, paced in one of her lavishly decorated parlor.She have been trying for weeks to get back to Damien Brick, but all to no avail, yet she sees the love between Ryan and Alexander soaring greater, causing her to crave for some drama. She have done a lot of shady things to keep Damien, she cannot allow some low life, to take Damien away from her.There was no way Ryan would ruin her life and her relationship with her husband, and expect to stay happy. Her disdain for their relationship festered like a wound. She had always been a master of manipulation and she knows that if she is able to get things done against the couple, she would achieve getting back with her husband, all she needs to do is use the information she have gathered about Juliana, against them.She came into Damien's life for the money, she also knows that Juliana is showing up now, for the money. They have a lot in common.Through her network of contacts,
She thought she would have a little time to do a little ladies thing, but surprisingly, as he sucked on her breast, while fondling at the same time with it, reminded her of the night she drugged Ryan. He had been so angry about getting married to Alexander and had been so fierce with her. Damien also looks very angry, and is also acting strangely. Though she was married to him for years, she never saw him, so fierce and needy before, she tries to blame it on the substance, but then it isn't also the first time, she was using a substance on him. Her marriage with him have been more like a child's play, that she always tries to spice their sex life up in one way or another, which never really gave her the vibe and energy she so long for. Which is also why she meets withen outside her marriage."You are different". She confessed, with the way he was fondling with her, and moving his hands all around her, it felt like he had been hungry for too long."Yes I know, and you taste differen
Lindsay visited Damien Brick again, she has been visiting him a lot since he became partially ill, but he has been acting like he isn't attracted to her anymore, she decided to add a little aphrodisiac, into his medicines, she needed to get him to break by all means. When she got to the house, she noticed he looked stronger than what her son had told her."What are you doing here? He asked, as soon as he saw her entering, and he would have continued, but their son walked in, he looked happy to see his mother, and after exchanged pleasantries, she asked him to excuse them."I came to see you Damien, you are my husband, we just separated because of misunderstanding, but I am here now, and I am here to make everything right, that is if you are going to give me a chance". She looked determined, and Damien looked like he is about to give in, but not without a force."We don't have anything to discuss, we are divorced, wether you signed the papers or not". He tells her, but she knows better
Juliana feigned a smile, then walked in slowly, as though she had come into the wrong house to steal, but they were all giving her a shocking look, that she sensed to already know the reason for their looks. But she still needs to confirm."Hello everyone". She greeted, but they didn't respond to her greeting, they kept looking at her, like she is some kind of a burglar. The other younger sisters, that probably didn't know her, even clinched to their purses, and phones."I know I didn't visit when I said I would and I have been away for too long, but it's been a really long journey for me, as the man I thought was going to be a father to our daughter is misbehaving. He abandoned me to be with a billionaire's daughter, and they took Emily away from me by force". She thought of playing the pity card, but the stories that the head sister have heard was enough for her, not to believe any act she puts up. When they didn't respond still, she looked around her, and seeing so much gifts a
Alexander noticed how worried Ryan was all through, she knows she has to get all documents ready for them to visit the court, Ryan may have been worried that she spends times with Emily more, but the truth is that the girl is full of wisdom, and she has given her more informations than she expect to get from her, she used the gotten informations, to take the first step of visiting the mother less home, where Emily grew up. Ryan was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice when she left, he was trying to bring himself as to how to tell Alexander what happened between him and Lindsay, he lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, when Alexander stepped out unnoticed, but that was also because she didn't want him to know when she left. She had already called the sisters in charge, so they were expecting her. She initially didn't tell them her aim, she just told them, she wanted to come visit the kids there with something, and they were happy to have her visit.When she got t
Ryan was glued to his phone at the house, as he lay on the couch with Alexander whom had been with him, cuddling him and not paying attention to everything Juliana was saying, she even laughed at her, at some point, especially those times she let out tears.She tries to kiss him, to get him back to a mood of wildness, and not a mood of worry, but Ryan seem lost.He could barely believe his eyes as Juliana twisted every event, painting herself as the victim, a woman scorned and reply hurt by his actions. "She left me for money and she was never pregnant, what the hell is she saying? he asked out loud, angry at the way the world seem to believe her.He clenched his fists, feeling the rage boil beneath the surface. If she were to be with him at the time, she would have forgotten the rules against hitting women and get violent with her. How could she do this to him, his thoughts raced, torn between the betrayal and the sinking realization of the public fallout. He hadn't told the world
After the other day's humiliation, Juliana couldn't take it anymore, it is now evident, that Ryan and the entire Damien family is never going to do the needful, she needed to make them do it by force, especially since Ryan still considered Emily his daughter, it goes a long way to show that he doesn't know yet, that Emily is in no way related to him. She needs to be fast with her plans before he finds out, or before Emily tells the world, where she came from.Juliana watched the card of one of the media personnel in her hand, and contemplated a little, if she should take that step. She had refused for so long, but now, taking that step, seems to be the only way to get them to come around, at least, that is what the world will be expecting from her, since what happened the other day.Juliana made that one single call, and she was immediately invited. She was promised that the outcome would wow her, and she wouldn't regret coming, she was told by the interviewer, that all she needs t
While Alexander was tired from the activities that had kept her and Ryan locked up in the house, she didn't know, Ryan was busy, planning a grand welcome party for Emily. While they were discussing what Emily had been through, they had mentioned having a small party for her, where her friends will come around and she will celebrate her new home with them, but Ryan didn't just throw a small party, it was indeed a big party.Because, As the sun bathed the garden in a warm glow, Emily and Mr Scott stepped into the family home, to a very warm reception. Alexander didn't even know about his plans, but he had all her friends from school, the house staff and even a few neighbors to welcome her. Surprisingly, he had invited her aunt and her Dad, that she hadn't seen anywhere else, other than the office.He just felt like a little celebration wouldn't hurt, since he isn't sure, if she had ever celebrated before in her entire life, especially since they have had such discussion before.The so
Too exhausted from the sweet activity of the night, they lay, curled up in bed with no one wanting to leave the other. This is exactly what Ryan wants when he sent Emily to stay with his father, and the weekend is already over, when Emily will take his wife from him again.Still enjoying the company and warmth of having each other, they heard a disturbing sound. It was a sound, from their phone, which blared into their ears, causing them to hiss angrily, but the sound came again, and they jolted awake. The sound shattered the early morning quietness. Left to Ryan, and surely Alexander, they would have stayed up in bed for hours, before getting up.Groggy and still tangled in the sheets, they exchanged a tired glance before Ryan reached over to grab his phone. The caller ID flashed Juliana. With a sigh, he showed Alexander who was calling, and she only took a moment to also see who the caller is, before entangling in his body.Juliana isn't worth their time, so she wouldn't leave h
Initially the lights were too bright in the bathroom, but Ryan made it dim, by switching on the dim light instead of the very bright one, causing the environment to give a more sensual and romantic feel, and adding vibe to the fun they were having. The sound of water cascading filled the air, as Ryan and Alexander stood beneath the hot shower, their bodies closed, breathing deep and ragged. The water streamed over them, mingling with the heat between them. If not for the stream of water pouring down on them, what they could have been seeing would have been sweat all through, because they entwined their body in a way that nothing could break.Ryan had initially planned to just enjoy the fun, but it was begining to look like they are going to enjoy more than just playing with the hot shower, that is no longer feeling so hot anymore.Ryan brushed a strand of wet hair from Alexander's face, his fingers lingering as he gazed into Alexander's eyes. Their bodies so close that they could f
