Chapter: MARRY ME∆NO POV∆"Let go of her hand," Alexander said in a furious tone, shoving Eric's hand away as he settled beside Ivory on the couch, Eric rolled his eyes, "It's not like her hand is going to melt just because I touched, right?" Alexander gritted his teeth, as if he mouthed something, the tension in the room thickened, a palpable wave of unease washing over them, as both Eric and Alexander were exchanging glances with furiousness.Ivory’s heart raced looking at the tension filled room, she could feel the heat rising in Alexander’s cheeks, his protective instincts are quite evident."He must be jealous that Eric is holding someone's hand other than him," she thought to herself with a small smirk dancing on her lips despite the situation, "No wonder he looked so furious!" Alexander turned to her, his expression softened slightly as soon as his eyes met her, but the frustration remained the same. "What are you both speaking about?""Nothing," Ivory replied quickly, her voice light but la

Chapter: WHY ARE YOU HOLDING HER HAND?∆NO POV∆"I'm here for you," Eric stood at the doorstep, his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his coat. Ivory folded her arms, "For me? For what?" His gaze shifted between Ivory and Pearl, and his face holding an usual smirk just like always, "First of all, can I come in, or do I have to stand here and freeze to death?"Pearl swallowed hard, feeling a sudden tension in the air because of Eric and Ivory staring at eachother with no words."Please come in," she said, stepping aside to let him in.Ivory, sitting on the couch with her arms crossed, raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Eric, I have no idea why you're at my house, but how did you even find out where I live?"Eric let out a low chuckle as he stepped inside, looking around. "Is your house hidden in the middle of a forest and cloaked with witches’ magic or something? Because when I checked, it was quite easy to find, am I wrong or am I a wizard?" Pearl rolled her eyes rubbing her temples, "Great, another person with a sarcastic

Chapter: SURPRISED TO SEE ME?∆NO POV∆"Thump... Thump...." Pearl stomped her foot against the floor wantedly to grab the attention of Ivory, but Ivory didn't respond, the forks and spoons falling down one by one, yet Ivory didn't even turn around.Looking at Ivory's unbothered nature, Pearl's frustration increased.The air in the room was heavy with tension and frustration, but neither Pearl nor Ivory was the type to sit in silence and sulk.Giving up on silent war, Pearl walked to Ivory and stood with her hands on her hips, the annoyance in her face is quite evident, "Do you even know what you're doing?" She shouted, glaring at Ivory, who was sitting on the couch, flipping through a stack of papers.Ivory let out a dramatic sigh, not even bothering to look up. "I'm working, can’t you see that? Do you want me to take you for an eye checkup or what?"Pearl rolled her eyes so hard that Ivory was sure they almost disappeared into the back of her head. "Ivory, do you think I’m joking?"Ivory finally glanced up, wit

Chapter: WAS THIS THEIR PLAN ALL ALONG?∆ALEXANDER∆"Beep... Beep...." I leaned back in the car seat looking into the laptop, just then my phone buzzed in my hand. Eric’s name appeared on the screen, it looks like he is calling me after checking out my message, I picked it up, and before I could even say a word, his amused voice filled my ears."Did she say that for real?" Eric asked, sounding both surprised and entertained by what I've sent through the message.I smirked, recalling Ivory’s words from a few moments back. "Yes, she said it’s something good, I don’t know what she’s going to say, but I've a positive feeling, thanks to that I'm waiting for her to come out and speak to me." Eric chuckled as expected the excitement in his voice didn't reduce even for a minute. "That’s great then, I’ll be waiting to hear the good news from you, Alex." I shook my head, silently waiting for Ivory to come out, "I’m also waiting.""Don’t worry, I’ll be there in a few days. Let’s celebrate together," he added, with sincerity in his

Chapter: DO YOU THINK I HAVE A CHOICE?∆IVORY∆"Pearl, I'll tell you everything later," I tried to calm her first, however Jessica isn't ready to believe me, "You must be bluffing, grandpa would never say that, you're joking, aren't you?" I shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant, despite holding back a turmoil of emotions in my heart, "If you can't believe me, why don't you ask Grandpa by yourself? None are stopping you, right?" Jessica clenched her fist glaring at me. "That’s impossible, I'll not believe you, he would never...." "Oh, but he did," I cut in smoothly, keeping the hair that disturbing on my face, behind my ear, "One more thing, if you think that I'll just sit back and let you people manipulate me into giving up my hardwork, you’re sorely mistaken, those foolish days were gone."Sarah looked furious at me, "Ivory, do you think you can just run away like this?" Bernard’s face twisted in anger as expected, but before they could say anything, I stood up."Now, what I'm trying to say is...." I said, brushing i

Chapter: DOES IT MATTER?∆IVORY∆"Are you sure?" Grandpa asked in a disbelief voice, I nodded my head with great difficulty."I'm so happy dear, thank you so much for listening to my request, wait till I get discharged, I'll announce your wedding date infront of everyone." I forced a small smile as Grandpa spoke, but my heart was twisting in pain at his words.His voice was gentle, affectionate too, but the weight of his words crushed me and my heart without any mercy. I clenched my fists tight enough to let my nails dig into my palms, so that I can keep my emotions in control before they burst out."Breathe, Ivory, just breathe," I tried to calm myself as all these overwhelming emotions made me to forget even taking a breath.Holding back everything within me, I spoke as steadily as I could. "You can't stress anymore, please take rest, I'll be leaving now, Grandpa." Without waiting for his response, I stood up from the chair, turned around and walked out of the room. My body moved like a lifeless shell, bu
