"You're still my wife, Lora... we never got divorced," Ryan pointed out, his eyes locked with Lora's.

Now that he was sure she was the one, Ryan had no intention of letting her go. He didn't care if she dated someone else... she was his wife and he would do whatever it takes to take her back. Lora's heart skipped a beat at Ryan's words. He was right but...

She glanced into Ryan's gray eyes, conflicting emotions flickering through her.

Sighing, she said, "I'm not Larisa anymore... the person you were married to no longer exists."

When Ryan frowned, Lora added, "Just pretend that Larisa is dead and I'm someone else named Lora Davis. You and I ended a long time ago and I moved on with Jason."

Ryan's heart sank to the pits of his stomach. He tried to get up but pain shot through his body and he groaned from the pain.

"Mr Kingsley, can you stay put? You're going to open the wound on your back!" Lora scolded, her eyes flashing with worry.

When Ryan saw her expression, he smiled and asked, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with Jason?"

"What kind of person would I be if I left after you got injured because of me? I'll stay until you get better but that's it... Ryan. You saved my life and I'm grateful, but... I don't want to be in a relationship where I'm an option again," Lora said. Deep down, she knew Ryan never loved her. The biggest mistake they made was getting married without the most important foundation of marriage which is love... without love, no relationship could work.

A painful lump lodged itself in Ryan's throat. He recalled how he treated Lora in the past. Because of his guilt for what happened to Ivy, he became blind to what was happening around him.

At that time, he just thought he married Lora to please his grandfather. He didn't know he had fallen in love with her during their marriage and when she died, he felt like he had lost a huge part of his world. Although he continued to live on, he always felt empty inside. Nothing made sense anymore.
