Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 8- Somethings never change

Ryan's words hang in the air.

He looked deeply into Lora's eyes like he was searching for something and his heart was pounding violently against his ribcage.

After a few seconds, Lora glanced at him and asked, "Are you referring to me? Didn't you get my name earlier? I'm Lora Davis."

"I know... it's just that you look like someone I know. You have the same face but a different name and identity-"

"I think Mr Kingsley mistook me for someone else. This is my first time coming to Moonstone City and I've never met you before," Lora replied calmly.

Deep down, she sneered coldly.

Yes, she is Larisa. She is also Lora Davis. She is back.

She hated the man before her with a passion. He was so ruthless back then and left her in the warehouse to die six years ago... no matter how kind Ryan looked at the moment, Lora knew him well. He was her heartless husband who chose to save his ex and left her to die.

Even though she hated him and wanted nothing to do with him, she had no choice but to act normally to avoid making him suspicious.

She had no intention of letting him know that she was alive! Never!.

When Ryan heard her words, he frowned. She was right... he had seen the warehouse blow up in front of his eyes. Perhaps it was his longing that made him hope Lora was Larisa.
