Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 13- Is Larisa alive?

"He still thinks the world revolves around him," Lora muttered under her breath.

Ryan had already left but anger was still bubbling up within her.

She returned with a new identity to put her past behind her and start anew but it seemed she became entangled with Ryan and Ivy once again.

Lora's eyes flashed when she recalled the thug's words before they set the warehouse on fire. Someone wanted her out of the way and Lora could only assume that it was Ivy.

Now that Ryan was giving her unnecessary attention, Lora knew it was only a matter of time before she became Ivy's target again.

'I have to avoid Ryan at all costs to protect myself and my children,' she mused. If Ivy knew Lora had Ryan's kids, only the heavens knew what she would do to them. Jason saw her expression and asked, "Do you know Ryan?"

It was strange how the man'kept following Lora around.

Lora came back to the present after that question. She smiled and said, "How can I know such an important man? I was just an orphan before my parents found me, remember?"

She had no intention of speaking about her past. After being betrayed, she pulled Ryan out of her heart and life like a tooth that ached and had no plans of looking back. To her, they were nothing but strangers who just met.

Jason chuckled. He nodded and replied, "You're right. Ryan is part of a very important family... perhaps. he's giving you attention because you're the daughter of Jack Davis." Lora shrugged and said, "Maybe... but that's none of my business."

When Jason saw how indifferent she looked, his heart calmed down.
