"Thank you so much for showing me around, you're so kind." Ivanna said to Ezekiel.
Ezekiel had enjoyed her company, Ivanna was so sweet and kind and every man would fall for that kind of woman. Ivanna went ahead to meet her parents. Ezekiel is on his way to meet Dwayne.
"I'm so sorry," Ezekiel said.
"Nah, it's okay. You sure you just showed her around, not to flirt with her?" Dwayne asked.
With his tone, Ezekiel thought he was jealous.
"Wait, you ask too many questions. Are you jealous?" Ezekiel asked.
Ash almost threw up his coffee for him. He just glared at him. Ezekiel was smiling with a matching teasing of his tone.
"Nah, I'm not and will never be." Ash said firmly.
Ezekiel smirks and scoffs.
"Come on man, you're going to eat your words some day." he said.
Ash just ignored him. What do you think? Is he going to eat his words later? Ezekiel was very sure he was going to fall for her.
"Dwayne, Ivanna is so sweet and kind. Who would fall for that kind of girl? Plus, she's hot and gorgeous." he added.
"I don't care." Ash said.
"Okay, if you say so. I'm telling you." Ezekiel said.
Ivanna was at her parents' office. Their office was so cool. It's in the same room but half with wood in between them, and you can't see or hear conversations between each other.
"Cool." she said.
"Ivanna, So how are you coping? Did Mr. Owen show you around?" Mr. Hendrix asked his daughter.
"Yes Dad, he's kind." she said.
"That's good." her dad said, and smiled.
Ivanna decided to go to her mother's office. They were just the same with her dad's set up of office.
"Darling, you're here." Mrs. Hendrix said.
Ivanna just wanted to tour herself around her parents' office. Her parents were so damn busy that she just needed to tour or entertain herself.
"Honey, your wedding will be next week." her mom said.
She was instantly shocked but just ignored it. She let her parents control her life after all. She knows, she'll thank them later.
"Okay, so what do I need to do?" she asked.
Her mom stared at her, she was waiting for her to say something, but she just stared at her.
"Weird," she whispered.
"I heard that." her mom said.
Ivanna just chuckled and said 'sorry'. Ivanna started to be bored, so she decided to go out for a walk. She missed her best friend. She decided to go to the park, using her parents' car.
"Gosh, I miss my best friend," she uttered.
She was surprised to see the twins again. She quickly went near them. The twins were very shocked.
"Hey, you're both here again." she said to them.
The twins were so happy to play with her again, their nannies were just watching them.
"Sister, where is the man you were with yesterday?" the little boy asked.
Ivanna wanted to pinch their cheeks, because they were so cute.
"Awww, you miss him? He's busy." she replied.
"Is he your boyfriend?" the little girl asked.
Ivanna laughed.
"I'm sorry, they asked so many questions." one nanny said, laughing.
"It's okay, they're cute," she said.
"Nope, he's not, but he's going to be my husband soon." she said.
The twins were so cute when they were in shock.
"Wow, like our mommy and daddy?" the little girl said.
Ivanna nodded, caressing the little girl's hair.
"And can you have a baby also like us? I want to play with your baby." the little boy said.
Ivanna and the nannies were laughing so hard. The twins were so cute and smart, they really knew what they were talking about.
"You're really smart, aren't you." she said to them.
"Of course, our mommy and daddy told us we were so special and that we make many people smile and laugh, in short, happy." Ivanna was awed.
Ivanna made the twins so happy. It's already getting dark. The nannies and the kids said goodbye to her. She was left alone. And she decided to go see the sunset again. She drove, heading there.
"Gosh, Sunset's really pretty." she said.
She puts her chin in her hands while staring at it. She remembered yesterday when Ash was with her.
"Where is that cold Ash." she murmured.
It took her a long time to watch the sunset, until going down. She decided to head towards their company because maybe her parents were already waiting for her.
"Ivanna, what took you so long?" her dad said.
It turned out that her parents were waiting for her outside the company.
"I'm sorry, I just went to watch the sunset." she said.
Her parents groaned.
"Okay, let's go home." her parents said.
Her father was the one who drove. She was seated at the back while her mom was in the front seat. She saw how her parents loved each other until now. Her dad used his right hand to hold her mom's left hand. So, he was driving with his left hand only. Seeing them, she wants her married life to be like her parents, but she is disappointed because it's impossible for her to love Ash, and it's impossible to be loved by Ash. She just sighed and stared at the window.
"Ivanna, what's your plan tomorrow?" her dad.
"I don't know?" she said.
Her mom sighed.
"Ivanna, why don't you go and visit Ash?" her dad said.
Ivanna just shrugged her shoulders, it was useless for her to visit him. Ash is just ignoring her, it's such a waste of time for her. So she decided to tour and entertain herself at the mall tomorrow. She told her parents about her plans tomorrow.
"Mom, dad. I want to enjoy my last days being single before getting married and being tied to a stranger." she said.
"Honey, Your fiancée isn't a stranger. He's a family friend." Her dad said.
"Yeah, whatever," she said and groaned.
Her parents understand her attitude.
Ivanna decided to stroll out of the mall. "God, I'm already bored." she murmured. She went to sit in the café thinking about what to do next and where to go next. "Wait, why will I go to Ash." she was thinking. "Okay! I'll go." she said. She picked up her stuff and went to catch a cab. Good thing she asked her parents where Ash's office was. "Thank you! Have a nice day." she said to the driver and even gave him a tip for entertaining her while on the road. Ivanna stares at the big company in front of her. "Wow." she said. Ivanna went ahead, she greeted the guard. They didn't know she was Ash's fiancée. All the staff were staring at her. She went to the front desk to ask where is his office. "Excuse me, where is Mr. Villareal's office?" she asked. The woman, who was the clerk, was just staring at her. "Hey." she repeated. "I'm sorry, but do you have an appointment?" the woman asked. The tone of her voice was like pushing her away to go away. "Nope, but he does know me." s
Ivanna was just watching him. She wanted to walk but her right foot still hurt. Her foot was also swollen. Ash can see her, trying hard to get up, which made him sigh deeply."Just sit down, I'll drop you off later at your home." he said.Ivanna wanted to smile, Ash was being good to her while she was hurt. She was thinking of hurting herself always for him to take care of her always, but she just laughed at her thought. Ash gives her the book she wanted to get a while back for her to have something to do."Wow, this book is epic." she said.Ash could hear her every word. He hated noisy people. Ivanna was already bored, she just played with her phone. She was playing Candy Crush, and her phone's volume was too loud. Ash couldn't concentrate."I can't believe I'm going to marry this psycho." he murmured."Dang! I lost!" Ivanna shouted.Ash groaned."Ugh, Can you please keep your volume down? Somebody's trying to get some work here." he said.Ivanna must not have heard anything. Ash was
Ash waited for her to wake up. Ivanna woke up at exactly five in the afternoon. She realizes a jacket is covered her. She smiled to see it is Ash who had been wearing it a while ago."I'm sorry, I overslept." she said."It's okay, you ready?" he asked her.Ivanna nodded."Let's go home." he said.Ash holds her while in the elevator until the lobby. Ivanna was so shy, all of her eyes were on them."Who's that?""Dang!""Is that the girl a while back?""Wait, is that the CEO's girlfriend?"That's all they heard. Ivanna was just staring at Ash. Ash doesn't care about the gossip. Ivanna was very near to his face, and she could see his heart beating so fast."Hey, I can walk from here." she said.She wanted to go down but Ash didn't want her to walk, it might sprain her foot more. They were both silent inside the car."Thank you." she said.Ash was surprised, he didn't see that coming from her mouth."You're welcome." he said.Ash was so worried that he might be scolded by her parents, but
"Can you give me a sign?" she said, staring at the night sky."Sign if it's a good decision to marry him." she added.She almost freaked out to see a wishing star just passing by."Oh my God." she whispered.And then she decided to make a wish."I wish to have a beautiful married life with Ash even if we don't love each other," she said, closing her eyes.She sighed and stared at the stars. God gave her the sign she wanted, and now she was so happy and very relieved to marry him."We might not love each other, but I guess we can learn how to love each other. I believe that." she said, smiling.Ivanna was thinking positively about her future, thinking of Ash's face near her. She kept on giggling. Ash was also on his veranda thinking so deeply. His mom was behind him, she knew he was thinking of his ex again."Dwayne." she said."Mom." he said."I know you're thinking about her again." she said.Ash didn't react, his mother knew him. Mother knows best, as they said. His mom joined him wh
A week passed, and her foot had recovered.Ivanna was staring at her reflection."Wow, you look so beautiful in that gown." Ivy said.It was their wedding day. Ivy helps her inside her room to change and do her make-up. She doesn't want to hire a make-up artist because she just wants natural and just light make-up."This is it." Ivanna sighed.Ivy was so proud of her, but she was not marrying someone she loved. Christina Hendrix entered to check up on her daughter."Wow." her mother gasped."You look stunning." Tina said.Ivanna just chuckles. Her mother was starting to tear up. Ivy went out to give them some privacy."Mom." she said.Tina graciously wipes her tears with a tissue."Oh my God, I'm so sorry." she said.Ivanna just caressed her mother's face. Her mother was guilty of letting them marry someone who was a stranger to their daughter. Their dad went in to tell them they were going. On the other hand, Dwayne and his parents were already at the church."Congratulations!" Ezekie
Ivanna and Ash moved to their new house, which their parents bought for them."Wow, this is beautiful." she said."I know." he said, full of air.Ivanna rolls her eyes.They started to unpack their stuffs. Inside the house, it was almost complete. They already have a TV, and other groceries. Ash checked it all, he wanted to make sure that everything was complete and quiet nice."Impressive, all are here." he murmured.Ivanna went to their room. She was stunned. They have a king sized bed, and their room was very wide. Ash followed her behind. They had no choice but to sleep in one room, besides, they're already married."Woman, we're going to sleep together by putting this pillow in between us." he said, holding a big long pillow.Ivanna wanted to laugh, but she just agreed with him. She quickly ran to the right side of the bed."This is my side." she said."Whatever, woman." he said.Ivanna was pissed."Hey, I'm already your wife. You should call me honey, sweety, babe, honeypie," she
Ivanna woke up, nearly afternoon."Aww, I'm starving." she said.She tied her hair, massaging her belly while walking. Ash saw her from his office, he just didn't mind her. Ivanna went to the kitchen to find something to eat."Wow." she said.She was stunned to see the baked mac in the microwave."Did he cook this?" she murmured.She smiled happily and grabbed a spoon and plate. She quickly tasted it."Hmmm, it's so delicious." she said.She eats more and more, she slices it, and puts some on her plate."Where is he?" she was looking for her husband.She remembered his office, she headed there slowly. Ash was disturbed by her noise. He saw her peeking at his door."What?" he asked.Ivanna smiled like a child, and went inside."Nothing, I just want to stay here." she said.Ash saw her eating the baked mac, his eyes widened and Ivanna was curious."Why?" she asked."Did you just eat that?!" he asked.Ivanna nodded and continued to eat."Jesus Christ!" he murmured.Ivanna was really shock
Adrian was playing with him while waiting for the food to be cooked."What's your name, uncle?" Adrian asked,"You can call me Uncle Dwayne." he said."Wow, you have such a nice name, and you're also handsome." Adrian said, he was smiling."Thank you, your name is also beautiful, and you're handsome, either." Ash said to him.Adrian joked, he loved to be admired the most. Grandpa Leo joined them."So, you and your wife just got married?" he asks.Ash nodded."Let me guess, arranged?" he asks.Ash was stunned. How Grandpa knew about it."Yes, you're right." Ash said.Leo smiled/"Hmm, nowadays, especially those who are so wealthy. They let their children marry for a contract, but I guess your parents have other reasons why they let both of you marry." he said.Ash was thinking about it, he barely knew his parents. He knows that they don't like Andrea in the first place, but they were just trying to accept her for the sake of him."Maybe, parents know best." Ash said."You're right." Gra
