A Contract Not To Fall In Love Chapter 86
Ivy's eyes gazed out the car window, her mind consumed by the swirling vortex of thoughts. Julian's alleged betrayal echoed through her mind, threatening to shatter the fragile peace between the Blackwoods and Smiths. Ethan's fury, the families' sworn enemy status rekindled, and the devastating consequences that would unfold—each scenario more dire than the last.Ryder's voice cut through the silence: "We're almost there." Ivy nodded, her gaze still fixed on the passing scenery. The warehouse loomed ahead, its imposing structure seeming to hide secrets in the shadows.As they drew closer, Ivy's anxiety spiked. What would she find inside? Would Julian be there? And what would be the cost of saving him? The questions swirled, fueling her growing unease.The car turned onto a deserted street, the warehouse growing larger with each passing moment. Ivy's heart pounded in anticipation, her senses on high alert. She could feel the weight of the unknown settling in, like a shroud of uncertain

Ivy's slender fingers clenched into fists, her body rigidly fought to contain the turbulent emotions brewing inside, and the silence between her and Victor grew increasingly oppressive, punctuated only by the soft sound of her silent tears streaming down her cheeks, glistening in the faint moonlight that filtered through the car's windows.Victor's gaze remained fixed on the road ahead, his jaw clenched in a determined effort to maintain his composure, knowing that if he dared to glance at Ivy, the sight of her teary eyes would inexorably dissolve his anger, leaving his heart vulnerable to the deep-seated love he harbored for her.The tension between them was palpable—a heavy, almost tangible presence that filled the car's interior, making it difficult for Victor to breathe, his chest constricting with a mix of emotions—frustration, concern, and, above all, love.Ivy's quiet sobs pierced the silence, a heartbreaking melody that echoed through Victor's mind, testing his resolve, tempti

Ivy's gentle touch on Victor's arm stirred a mix of emotions within him."Victor, please, don't let this incident with Julian reignite the enmity between Blackwood and Smith," Ivy implored.Victor's expression darkened."Julian's involvement with my business dealings is unacceptable. He'll pay for his interference."Ivy's eyes pleaded."Investigate first, then blame him. I trust my brother; he wouldn't instigate conflict without reason."Victor's jaw clenched."You should trust your future husband, not your family's loyalty."Ivy's voice took on a resolute tone."If this enmity begins again, I won't marry you."Victor's face fell, shock etched on his features."You'd choose your family over me?" he asked, his voice laced with hurt.Ivy's resolve never wavered."I'll always stand by my family, Victor."Victor's expression twisted in anguish."Even after all we've shared, you'd abandon me for the Smiths?"Ivy's eyes welled up with tears."I'm not abandoning you, Victor. I'm protecting m

Victor's face twisted in rage as Ivy stood firm."You're still defending them after everything I've done for you?" Victor spat.Ivy's voice trembled."I'm not defending anyone, Victor. I just want peace between our families."Victor's laughter was cold."Peace? Your family doesn't know the meaning of the word."With a sudden burst of fury, Victor slammed his fist onto the nearby table, sending ornaments shattering to the floor.Ivy flinched."Victor, stop!"But Victor's anger was unstoppable."You're just like them—blind to reason, driven by hatred," he snarled.He swept his arm across the table, sending more objects crashing to the ground.Ivy's tears welled up."Victor, please..."But Victor stormed out of the room, leaving Ivy shaken.She collapsed onto the couch, tears streaming down her face.How had things escalated so quickly?She worried about her brothers, Ethan and Lucas, and their involvement in the family feud.Were they safe?Did they know about Victor's growing anger?Iv

Victor's thoughts shifted to Jane, Elijah's pregnant wife.Where was she?Liam's quiet voice answered his unspoken question."Sir, Jane went to her parents' house for a visit. She's not aware of Elijah's condition."Victor's anxiety spiked.How would he face her?Tell her that her husband, the father of her unborn child, lay broken and battered?The weight of responsibility crushed him.He should have protected Elijah better.Now he had to confront Jane's tears, her fears, and her anger.Victor's gut twisted into knots.He couldn't bear the thought of shattering her happiness."Elijah's going to be okay," Victor whispered to himself.He had to believe it.For Jane's sake.For the sake of their unborn child.Liam's gentle voice broke the silence."Sir, shall I arrange for Jane to be brought here?"Victor nodded, his throat constricting."Yes. Prepare the jet. Bring her back safely."Liam nodded and slipped out of the room.Victor's eyes lingered on Elijah's fragile form.He vowed silen

Jane's eyes, red-rimmed from crying, met Victor's as he entered the dimly lit hospital room."Victor," she whispered, her voice cracking.Victor's face twisted in anguish as he rushed to her side."Jane, my dear, I'm so sorry," he murmured, embracing her tightly.Elijah lay motionless in the bed, machines beeping around him."How is he?" Victor asked, his voice low and urgent.Jane's gaze drifted back to her husband."The doctors say...he'll live," she stammered.Victor's jaw clenched."But at what cost?" he muttered.Jane's eyes overflowed."They did this to him, Victor. Ivy's brothers."Victor's face darkened."I know, Jane. And they'll pay for it."Jane's grip on Victor's arm tightened."Don't do anything rash, Victor. Please."Victor's gaze softened."For you, Jane, I'll restrain myself. But I won't let this go unpunished."Jane's voice trembled."What about Ivy? Does she know?"Victor's expression turned cold."I don't know. But she'll soon learn the truth."Jane's eyes filled wi

Liam's voice dripped with malice as he spoke to Victor in the hospital hallway, outside Elijah's room."You're just sitting idle while the Smiths continue to hurt your family, Victor. How can you not take action?" Liam goaded.Victor's expression remained stoic, but Liam's words struck a nerve."You're worried about Ivy, aren't you?" Liam sneered. "She's a Smith, Victor. She'll always choose her family over you."Victor's mind flashed back to Ivy's words: "I trust my brother Julian, not you." The memory stung.Liam's voice cut through Victor's thoughts."Remember Sophia? Ethan's recklessness led to her death in the Xandros attack. Now, because of the Smiths, another Blackwood is fighting for his life," Liam spat, referring to Elijah.Liam's eyes bored into Victor's."You once sought revenge against Ethan, even targeting Ivy. But now, a girl has changed you, made you forget your family and your vendetta."Just then, Victor's gaze fell upon Ivy, standing frozen in the hallway, her eyes

Outside Ivy's hospital room, Lucas, Ethan, and Julian Smith stood clustered together, their faces etched with worry and anger."How could this happen?" Lucas demanded, his voice low and urgent. "She went to meet Victor Blackwood, and now she's lying in there, fighting for her life."Ethan's jaw clenched, his eyes burning with a mix of guilt and frustration."I promised Elizabeth, our stepmom, that I'd protect Ivy, no matter what," Ethan reminded himself, his voice laced with self-reproach. "And now...now I've failed."Julian placed a reassuring hand on Ethan's shoulder."This isn't your fault, Ethan," Julian said firmly. "We don't even know what happened yet."But Ethan couldn't shake the feeling of responsibility."I remember Elizabeth's final words," Ethan said, his voice cracking. "She was lying in the hospital bed after Dad's passing. She grasped my hand, looked me in the eye, and said, 'Protect Ivy at any cost, Ethan. Keep her safe, no matter what.'"Ethan's eyes welled up with t

"Liam, you were like a brother to me," Victor said, his voice low and menacing. "But now, you're nothing but a traitor."Victor's eyes blazed with fury."You used me, manipulated me, and betrayed me," Victor accused. "All for your twisted sense of revenge."Victor took a step closer to Liam."Sophia's death was a tragedy, but using it to justify your treachery is vile," Victor spat.

"You'll suffer for your betrayal."Victor's gaze locked onto Liam's."You're no longer family," Victor declared. "You're no longer human. You're nothing but a monster."Victor's words hung in the air, heavy with malice."Ryder, take him away," Victor ordered, his voice cold. "Lock him up.
