My Bossy CEO Husband

On the ride back, Wendy couldn't stop thinking about what Ryan had said.

As they took a right turn, Wendy turned to him scowling.

"What?"

Ryan looked really confused by her expression.

"A prostitute or a murderer? Really?"

Ryan smiled and took her hand in his.

"What are you doing?" Wendy asked, blushing.

"We have company."

In the back seat, Reese closed her eyes and turned her head sideways.

"I didn't see anything."

Wendy opened and closed her mouth several times, unable to find the right words.

But Ryan seemed unfazed.

He still held her hand tightly.

The car drove straight into the Ensfield.

At the sight of the luxurious villa, Reese was in awe.

‘‘Ensfield! Ryan lives in the Ensfield?’' She had lived in the city for many years, yet she had only seen this place on TV.

It was the home of the extremely rich and powerful.

Only a dozen or so families lived here.

Each villa had its own swimming pool and word had it that there was a huge golf course as well as a horse- riding course in the complex.

And that was just the tip of the iceberg.

Anything you wanted, you could find in the Ensfield.

Flynn couldn't buy one of the villas here even if he used every single penny of his fortune! 

Ryan must be a really big deal!’ Reese thought, her nerves getting the best of her.A moment later though, she calmed down a little, thinking how well Wendy and Ryan got along.

Ryan's status was a good thing.Ruben and Cacia wouldn't dare cross a man that powerful just to take revenge on her and Wendy.

They all entered Ryan's villa and found Luke was already there.

Wendy was about to run upstairs and prepare a room for Reese, but Ryan stopped her.

Her arm was still injured so he insisted that she shouldn't put any strain to it.

Instead, he asked Luke to call one of the servants to do it.

Luke wanted to hear all about their adventure during the day and they obliged.

When they told him what Flynn and Ruben had done, he was appalled.
