Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Ivy froze when she heard that voice. A chill ran down her spine and her heart jumped to her throat.

She glanced at the crowd, wondering if she was hearing voices.

Did Lora come back to haunt her as a ghost?

Soon, a woman emerged from the crowd. She looked hot, wearing a red sequin off-the-shoulder gown with a highslit.

The woman was the epitome of beauty. She turned heads wherever she passed... She looked so graceful and elegant and her presence commanded the hall's attention.

Everyone watched as she gracefully made her way up the stage and Ryan was quick to approach her. He smiled before holding her hand and bringing it to his lips, placing a soft kiss on her fair hand. "You're just on time for the show," Ryan remarked, a smirk playing on his lips.

The woman smiled and replied, "I couldn't miss it for anything in the world."

At the same time, Ivy's jaw had dropped to the floor. She glanced at the woman with wide eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.

"N-No... it... it can't be! You're dead! I made sure of it!" Ivy yelled, grabbing her head in denial. This bitch had died... she had seen the warehouse go up in flames herself!

"Lora Davis, how are you still alive?" Ivy questioned, glaring at Lora.

Lora turned to look at Ivy, a smirk playing on her lips. She replied, "Surprised? Did you think you had won because you trapped me in a warehouse and set the place on fire to kill me?"

Gasps echoed around the hall. Ivy tried to kill Lora?

Everyone was shocked that Ivy was that type of person. She always seemed like a kind person.

Ivy clenched her hands into fists and glared at Lora with unmasked hatred. She spat, "I hate you so much, Larisa, Lora or whatever you call yourself! Ryan was only supposed to love me... but you came in and stole him from me. You married him and that's the crime you committed... the only way you could pay for your crimes was to die! Why couldn't you stay dead? I killed you twice and you're still alive!"
