Confused Love

ENEMIES

"Because I'm married," Ryan said as Liv's hands left his body immediately, he walked out of the house while guards took his briefcase to his car. The sound of the metal gates being unlocked and his car zooming out was heard by everyone in the house.

Trisha nearly choked on her eggs as she heard Ryan say he was married. Did he just admit that he's married? They both went out last week and he told everyone that she was a distant cousin who was just visiting, she felt so bad; that was when she probably gave up on the idea of loving this man. This is one very weird man. She got her phone, planning to text the girls.

"That wasn't the way I planned to say it but it is what it is, we decided not to make it a blown wedding to save the image of your father's company since you and Ryan's engagement was quite trendy" Madam Nancy explained to Liv who was still standing at the spot where Ryan left her.

Liv was frozen, this couldn't be happening, she had been dreaming of this wedding for as long as she could remember, everyone already knew they were engaged so why? Wasn't she beautiful enough? "Damn that thought" she shook her head vigorously, of course, she's beautiful enough, it's just that there's a brat who this family thinks holds more class than her.

Emily, Imogen and Madam Nancy were all watching her from where they were all seated. Trisha knew that it wasn't safe for her anymore so she attempted leaving the sitting room and going back to her bedroom.

"Where is she?" Liv asked as she looked at Madam Nancy with anger brimming in her eyes.

"Who?" Madam Nancy asked.

"The damn b***h who took Ryan away from me!!" She yelled in annoyance.

"I've had enough" Imogen stood as she pointed towards the door "Out!!" She said glaring at Liv.

"You will not say that to me!! I've been loyal to every one of you, I've respected every single one of you! I've made myself a fool for this family despite my status and yet y'all had the nerves to doublecross you me!!!" Liv screamed in utter agony.

"Liv, you are disturbing the peace of this household and I demand that you stop it this instant" Madam Nancy spoke.

"I'm done being a fool for all of you, I'm going to kill that b***h even if it's the last thing I do, Ryan is mine and has always been and will forever be!!!" She yelled before storming out of the house with her suitcase behind her.

Emily rolled her eyes "Thank God she's gone, she gives me the ick" She muttered.

TARAM ENTERPRISES

Ryan's G-wagon sped into the company's environs and halted at the car park, numerous reporters were shoving all kinds of microphones at his car windows already. He grunted as he stepped out of his car heading towards the main building, the reporters kept asking questions and he ignored them.

*Mr Ryan, when did your marriage take place?

*When are you showing the world her face?

*Are you still the CEO of Taram Enterprise?

*Why did Mr. Damien come back?

*Why did you tarnish the image of the Kims?

As much as they wanted information, everyone gave Ryan space, no one touched him, not even slightly, they all knew how scary he was. Killing someone was easy as hell for him, they are basically the wealthiest family in America right now so they have the most power. Ryan put both hands in his pockets as he entered the magnificent building. It was a T-shaped skyscraper that shimmered under the sunlight.

RYAN'S OFFICE

Ryan was seated behind a table with a MacBook in front of him. His eyebrows are furrowed and he's hitting the letters on the keyboard furiously.

A staff member entered the office "Sir, someone....."

He threw the MacBook directly at her, cutting her off but she ducked quickly letting out a heavy gasp. Her heart was pounding against her chest as she looked at the broken MacBook and then back at Ryan, whose face held no emotions.

"Get out" He ordered.

She scampered off hurriedly in fear. Ryan sighed once she was gone, he held his head in his hands. Why am I so worried? He asked himself worriedly. No, he was taking Damien too seriously, he stood up and went to his safe, punched in some numbers and it made a creaking sound as it opened up, revealing a blue file, he opened the file and sighed in relief. Without this document, Damien cannot possibly become CEO. “I’m taking that son of a w***e too seriously,” He said aloud to himself before putting the document back into the file and the file into the safe before locking it up.

He heard noises outside the office, but he ignored them and sat behind his table sipping slowly from his glass, his office door suddenly burst open and Mr. Kims barged in, anger written on his face, security was struggling with him trying to prevent him from entering the office but it was difficult considering how huge the man was and the 2 hefty security men he came with. Ryan leaned back on the chair sipping slowly from his drink while swerving his chair enjoying the show with a grin on his face.

“Both of you are fired” Ryan spoke with a straight face that as usual, showed no emotion.

The two security guards got on their knees letting go of Mr. Kims and his security men.

“Pls sir, I have a pregnant wife at home and I really need this job, I can't lose it, I'll die of hunger” The first security man pleaded.

“Sir, I need this job or else my mother will die” The second security added, his voice shaking.

“No need to tender your resignation letter, you can drop your uniforms with your superior and leave” he added nonchalantly.

Mr Kims stood in a corner of the office watching the two guards beg for their jobs, he wondered why Ryan would want to sack them.

They obviously did nothing wrong.

The security guards were already crying and begging for their jobs. Ryan's eyebrow began twitching. That whimpering noise, the sniffling, it's making him go crazy. He opened the drawer beneath the table and brought out his shotgun, aimed for one of the guards' heads and fired. The sound made him remember Scarlet.

FLASHBACK ‹ 5 YEARS AGO ›

Ryan was holding Scarlet's hand and they were both walking and chatting. They got close to a coffee shop and Scarlet stopped.

“Babe, I want some coffee,” Scarlet pouted.

“Come on, we just started walking, you can't possibly want coffee” Ryan replied.

“You're only saying that because you hate coffee”. Scarlet argued

“I only hate coffee prepared by other people, any coffee you make is the sweetest,” he said, pulling her by the waist close to himself as he looked into her hazel eyes.

“We are outside,” Scarlet said, pushing him away.

Before he could reply, a gunshot was heard and in

a split second, Scarlet was on the floor, he heard the glass behind them shatter.
