Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 9 The Twins

"What did Ryan Kingsley want? I saw him grab your arm," Jason asked as he drove Lora back home.

He had a gentle smile on his face, but deep inside, he was seething. Lora and him had met while she was abroad six years ago and he had been pursuing her ever since.

"Did you accept?" Jason asked in a low voice. Without realising, he tightened his hold around the steering wheel as he anxiously waited for Lora's answer. His knuckles turned white from how tightly he gripped the wheel.

"I told him I'll think about it..." Lora said and looked out the window as they approached the building where her apartment was located.

Even though she had returned to her family, she still preferred to stay alone.

Anger bubbled up within her at the reminder of how ruthless Ryan was.
