Her Return, His Regret by Natie

At the Williams' mansion.

Ivy paced around in her room, her heart racing erratically.

She hadn't heard anything about Lora. Was she dead?

What if she got saved on time like six years ago?

Ivy's stomach churned. She had to make sure Lora was dead because she already knew her secret.

Leaving her room, she went to her father's study.

"Dad, can you find out from your friend, Mr Davis if Lora is still alive?" Ivy asked her father.

David Williams frowned. He glanced at his daughter and questioned, "What did you do?"

"I... she was getting in the way. I had to get rid of her-"

"I told you not to get involved in such things! Didn't I say I would handle it? Why couldn't you make Ryan fall in love with you after the path that we set for you? You wasted it and his heart got stolen by someone else!" David yelled, his nostrils flaring in anger.

"I tried, Dad! I did everything I could but even the guilt of my legs couldn't make Ryan love me! I was desperate... please find out for me. She can't stay alive," Ivy pleaded, her eyes welling up with tears.

Everything would be over if Lora survived and told Ryan what she knew.

David Williams sighed, his daughter's tears getting to him. He had always given Ivy whatever she wanted.

"Fine, I'll call Jack. However, he's been avoiding me, so I don't know if he will respond," David replied.

He took out his phone and dialled Jack Davis' number. Fortunately, Jack answered after a few rings.
