"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 and the head of the police saw the preacher coming."Oh, I think they're done. Let's go." the police said.They headed to Rhea's area and he told her to wait for her at the area where she can talk to her. Ivanna was very nervous and didn't know what to tell her."Miss Andrea West, you have a visitor." the head of the police said and opened her jail..Andrea was very shocked."Who is it?" she asked."Just see for yourself." the police said.Andrea went to see who is her visitor and she was stunned to see Ivanna. She didn't see it coming."Ivanna." she said.Ivanna raised her head to see her."Andrea." she said.At the moment, they were waiting for who will be the first one to talk."Ivanna, I'm so sorry." Rhea said.Ivanna diverted to gaze at her."I already forgave you a long time ago." Ivanna said.Andrea was very shocked."You're such a nice person. You deserve to be loved and cherished. I'm happy that Ash loves you and you love him too." she said.Andrea tears up and she is s
"What if I still can't forgive? It's okay if you aren't ready to forgive someone; just take some time to think about it. If you decide you are ready, but you're having trouble working through the steps, you can also try these suggestions:Talk about the situation with people you trust. An outsider's perspective can help shed new light on things.Write down your thoughts and emotions. They can become clearer once they're on paper.Speak to a professional. If your experience is particularly hard or complicated, it can be really useful to talk to an expert, such as a counsellor.Forgiveness isn't always an easy process, and it's understandable if you struggle with it. But it's worth trying out some of the suggestions above, to see if you can re-shape the way you think and feel about the past and let go of any hurt feelings around it." the preacher added.Rhea was being hit by its words and statements. It's not just her but all of them who were there in that hall. She didn't know how she e
"Thank you, ma'am." she said.Rhea's mom smiled."You have a cute baby. What's her name?" she asked."Elise Iris." Ivanna said.Rhea's mother was stunned."She's so cute." she said.Ivanna and Ash were happy to see her playing with their baby. Ash drives Rhea's mom going to the prison."Are you sure, you don't want to see her?" Rhea's mother asked.Ash went with her, he had once loved and cherished her. They were waiting for Rhea to come."Mom." she said.But started to cry when she saw Ash."Ash...." she whispered.Rhea's mom left them, she wants them to have closure and to forgive each other."What are you doing here?" she asked."I'm here to see you for the last time." he said.Rhea was hurt by his words."Okay, so you can go now." she said."No, unless, we forgave each other. Your mom is right, we once loved and cherished each other but I'm here to forgive you for what you did because I know you." he said.Rhea just cried and nodded."I'm so sorry, I didn't dare to hit her." she sa
"I, Ashford, take you, Ivanna, to be my wife; to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish; until we are parted by death." Ashford said with a smile on his face.Ivanna was tearing up."I, Ivanna, take you, Ashford, to be my husband; to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish; until we are parted by death." she said smiling."May I please have the rings?" the priest said.It was Adrian who was their ring bearer, he's so cute.The priest handed the rings to both of them."Since ancient times, the ring has been a symbol of the unbroken circle of love, with no beginning and no end. Love given freely has no giver and no receiver, for each is the giver and each is the receiver. May these rings always remind you of the freedom and power of this commitment you make here today." the priest said."Ash, wh
Ash called Zeke to tell the police to take it easy. He parks his car behind her car. He saw her coming out and ran towards him.Rhea hugs him so tight."I'm really sorry, I was just jealous and I hated her so much." she said.Ash understands her feelings but he doesn't want to let her escape from what she did."I know, I know, shhh." he said.Rhea started to cry and sobs but she was alerted when she saw many lights surrounded by them."Ash.. did you." she whispered.Ash sighed and smirked."I'm sorry." he said.The police went near them and handcuffed her hands. Rhea was very miserable, she was crying out loud and kept on asking for his help but Ash wanted her to think of what she did."You have the right to remain silent." the police told her.Rhea can't get out of their grip. One of the police drives her car following them. Ash was left and the sunset came out."I'm sorry." he whispered.He went back to the hospital and he was shocked to see Ivanna talking with her parents and their
Ash woke up so early and went to the hospital. He was so hopeless to see his wife lying down on the bed unconscious."Mom dad, I think you need to go home. I'll be here to watch her." he said.Tina and Langston really need to rest."Stay with her." they told him and left.When he hears the door close, he walks slowly towards her. He caressed her face and fixed her face."You look so pretty." he said."I know, it's the first time I ever tell you that." he whispered.He held her hand and his eyes landed on her baby bump."Hello baby, I'm your daddy. I'm sorry I didn't know you were there." he sighed.Ivy and Zeke saw him by the window and they decided to watch him first."I'm really sorry, it is all my fault." he said and hugged Ivanna.Ivy and Zeke went emotional, they pitied him. Ash wipes his tears when he hears the door open."How are you?" Zeke asked."I'm good." he said.Ivy was just silent and fixed Ivanna's posture."You know what, Ivanna keeps talking about you. How hard-headed
