Her Return, His Regret by Natie

"Adan, any updates? Grandpa said something that got me thinking last night... I keep thinking Lora might be Larisa," Ryan said on the phone. "I doubt two different people can have the same face unless they are identical twins." It was the next day and Ryan had called his friend to find out about the progress of the investigation. He didn't know why, but something told him they were missing something.

Lora's hatred for him... the way she avoided him... it didn't seem like she had just known him recently. He always suspected her identity but he thought it wasn't possible for her to be Larisa since he had seen the explosion himself.

However, his grandfather's words made him realise something. There was no way they could verify that the ashes belonged to Larisa. They couldn't even tell if the ashes were mixed with a human being's or if they were just from the burnt warehouse. Larisa could have managed to escape before he could save her. Perhaps he couldn't find her because she hid herself well.

"Bro, it's not possible to confirm if Lora is Larisa yet. I don't want to give you false hope when I'm not sure... even if we only saw ashes, there's a possibility that those ashes do belong to Larisa. Be ready for positive or negative news," Adan Nicholson responded on the phone.

He didn't want to see his friend go back to a bad state because of this again. It would be like seeing his wife die all over again if he realised she had really died in that fire.

Ryan's jaw clenched. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "I know but it's important that I find out before the engagement ceremony. I need to know if Lora is Larisa as soon as possible."

"I know, man. My men are still trying to verify their findings and I haven't gotten anything from Bianca either," Adan responded.

Ryan sighed, frustration creeping into him. Why did the Davis family hide information about Lora? What were they hiding?

The only information they could find was from the last six years and it wasn't complete.

He uttered, "Let me know when you find out something. It doesn't matter the place or the time. As long as it's news about Lora, I want to know about it. Also, I want the PI to re-investigate what happened six years ago. I want to know who kidnapped Ivy and Larisa at the same time and what their motive was."

"Sure thing, Ryan. I'll do my best," Adan remarked. "However, those men seemed to have fled the Country."

"I don't care... this time, we need to find them. Something tells me this wasn't just a kidnapping planned by my enemies," Ryan muttered.

"Ok. I'll ask him to work on that as well," Adan promised and ended the call.
