When Ivy was done signing the shareholders agreement, she walked out of Damian's office and headed straight to the garage where Lucas was waiting to drive her back home in Damian's Audi Q8. Meanwhile, Damian stood by the side of his window, his eyes fixed outside as he watched Ivy walk to the garage.As he watched Ivy walk away, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. He knew he had been harsh with her, but he told himself it was necessary. He couldn't let her get the upper hand, not when it came to something as important as his child.But as he turned back to his office, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. He had seen the anger and hurt in Ivy's eyes, and it bothered him more than he wanted to admit.He tried to push the thoughts aside and focus on the task at hand. He had a meeting with some potential investors in an hour, and he needed to be sharp.But as he sat down at his desk, he found himself wondering if he had made a mistake.

She maintained the facade until she was safely back inside the house. Rushing to her room, she collapsed onto the bed, her heart weighed down by pain.“How is Leon going to be my donor?”she thought. “How the hell is he my nephew?!”For the next hour, Ivy sat in her room, trying to devise a strategy to persuade Damien to find other donors. The doctors could help them locate suitable candidates to avoid future paternity issues.She couldn’t bear the thought of such an intimate act with the man who had betrayed her and treated her like trash.Around 10 PM that night, Damien returned home, and the head chef quickly served him his meal. As he removed his suit jacket, his eyes scanned the room, searching for Ivy. After having dined with her just the day before, he felt accustomed to seeing her waiting for him each evening.“Where is Ivy?” he asked.Lucas stepped in with a smug smile. “She’s in her room, sir. She hasn’t come out since we got back. I think she’s upset!”Damien’s brow furrowed

At F&K financials. “Is everything set?” Leon asked his PA as he exited his office. “I need everything to be perfect. She can't fumble this opportunity, or we'll go bankrupt!”“Okay, sir,” the woman nodded. “But it’s twenty minutes past nine, and she’s still not here.”Leon glanced at his watch and confirmed her words. “Don’t worry about that. All that matters is that she shows up, brings the designs, signs the budget, and supervises everything!”The woman smiled and walked away. Everyone understood the stakes: the person they were expecting was not only their largest shareholder but also a representative from Sky Investments.“Is she still not here?” Hailey stepped out of the office, wine glass in hand, as she approached her boyfriend. “It’s almost 9:30, and punctuality is always a problem with them,” she complained.Leon turned to her. “No need to worry, sweetheart. I don’t care if she arrives at noon. I just need her to show up, sign the budget, and then we’re good to go.”Hailey r

Ivy followed the directions and was led to the office they had arranged for her. It wasn’t large, but it was a cozy space, well-furnished and equipped with everything she might need during her stay to oversee operations. However, Ivy was not impressed.Her lack of enthusiasm stemmed from the fact that this office was provided by Leon and Hailey. She scrutinized the room for a moment before scoffing, “They can put in their best effort, but it will never be enough for me.”Meanwhile, Leon and Hailey waited outside, anxious for Ivy’s reaction. Hailey nudged Leon, whose thoughts were elsewhere, preoccupied with his ex-girlfriend. “What’s going on, Leon?” she asked, her voice filled with frustration.“Hey, keep your voice down,” Leon cautioned. “We need to maintain the act until she leaves.”Hailey scoffed. “What do you mean? I can’t work with that woman! You know I can’t stand her!”Leon took her hand, fixing his gaze on her. “Babe, listen to me. We need to do this if we want the deal. If

Ivy smiled, knowing she was getting on his last nerves. “Just get me wine,” she said.With that, Leon quickly turned and hurried off. He wanted to catch Hailey before she went back to the office or did something even crazier, like calling her parents.Leon had made a deal with her parents' company, and they only agreed to it because of his relationship with their daughter. He pulled open the office door and found it empty.Sighing, he rushed to the rooftop where Hailey usually went to smoke and clear her head.As he reached the rooftop, he found her there, smoking and sipping a drink.He moved closer, trying to console her. “Hey babe, look, I know—”Hailey's eyes flashed with anger as she cut him off, her voice sharp. "Don't you dare bring up Lousy's excuses. You could have given her another office, but you let her take mine without a fight. It seems you want her back in your life, right?"Leon raised his hands in a calming gesture. "Hailey, listen to me. I had no choice. We need her—

Leon furrowed his brows in confusion as he examined the design on the table. He had seen it countless times and could tell it was both unique and suitable for the fashion launch. The day Hailey had presented her design, he felt a surge of pride that she had created something impressive. So, seeing Ivy attempt to disparage the design was not going to sit well with him."Why do you ask, Ivy?" he questioned. "Aren't the designs good enough for the launch?"Ivy blatantly ignored him, focusing her attention on Hailey. "I just asked you a question. Where did you get these designs from?"For a moment, Hailey was silent, sensing that Ivy had figured out that the designs were hers and that she had stolen them.Ivy had always been passionate about fashion, sketching designs she dreamed of bringing to life. This one happened to be one of her signature creations.Looking at the book again, Ivy muttered, "Damn, she couldn't even change the old sketches! What a dumb move!"Hailey’s smile faltered,

When Ivy reached home, Damian was already inside. He sat in the living room with his legs crossed, engrossed in the doctor's report regarding his condition. Following the doctor's advice, he had decided to try a more aggressive treatment, but the results were still disappointing. His phone beeped, and he picked it up. It was a message from his doctor: “Mr. Forbes, we will need another 75 days to use the native herbs to assess the outcome.” Frustrated, he turned his phone upside down and slapped it onto the couch, letting out a deep sigh. Seventy-five days felt like an eternity—more than two months. He couldn’t possibly wait that long, especially when he needed a child to secure his position as boss. Meanwhile, Ivy stood a few inches away, watching him react. She couldn’t help but wonder what was going through his mind. She walked closer and sat next to him. “Is everything alright?” she asked calmly, hoping he would share his distress. After all, didn’t they say a problem shared is

Ivy gulped, struggling to find the right words. She hadn’t anticipated that he would be so knowledgeable about such intimate matters. As she stylishly looked away, her face flushed with embarrassment. She tried to think of a way to deflect the conversation, but her mind was blank. “I… uh… I meant to say that I need some time to prepare,” she stammered, hoping to sound convincing. But Damian wasn’t buying it. He raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical. “Prepare?” he repeated. “Ivy, I don’t pay you to think. I pay you to follow orders. And my order is clear: you will be ready to conceive my heir in five days.” A surge of desperation washed over Ivy. She knew she couldn’t refuse him, but the thought of going through with this was unbearable. She attempted to appeal to his emotions, but he remained unmoved. “Damian, please,” she begged. “Have mercy.” Without a word, he turned and walked away, leaving Ivy feeling defeated and trapped. She understood she had no choice but to
