Half way through the ride, Ivory started whimpering and moving around, desperately trying to get rid of the cloth covering her… contributing to the heat that was already swallowing her.

As Gadreel watched her struggle, he felt an inexplicable need to help. He had no idea why or how, but it was clear the urge was there.

“Ivory,” He called out and reached over to touch her cheek as if being led by instinct.

But as soon as he noticed this, he stopped and instead, reached for the top of her head and petted it gently.

She stilled, and for a second, he thought she was going to wake up. However, just as the thought had occurred, her struggle continued.

Right about that time, the car pulled to a stop and Ezekiel got out of the driver’s seat and opened the back passenger’s door.

“Sir, we’ve arrived.”

Pulling Ivory closer, Gadreel stepped out of the car, but the house in front of him, was vastly different from the one he usually stayed at.

It was a modern built and designed 6 bedroom Manor, loc

    Stepping out of the shower, Gadreel wrapped a towel around his waist and stood in front of the mirror, examining the reddening bruise he had only just noticed after he stepped into the shower.The bastard, Thomas, had managed to land a blow and although the pain wasn't enough to stop him from beating the man up, it was still painful.But at least, that bastard won't be bothering Ivory again, that he was sure of.Changing in a pair of comfortable sweatpants and T-shirt, Gadreel stepped out of the bathroom and glanced towards the bed.Ivory was laying under the cover, facing away from him and had he not been sure she was asleep, he would have thought she was avoiding him.Walking over to the bed, he sat down on the edge and watched her back.It was strange, being able to see her like this, so calm, so vulnerable.If anyone has ever told him that they were capable of watching her sleep, he would have thought they were crazy, because how would one watch a person sleep?But right now, as h

    The better half of her night was peaceful, but soon, the nightmares began.Like a reoccurring theme, Ivory found herself back at her foster home, enduring disgusting looks from a man she was meant to call her foster father and his hands which always seemed to find it’s way towards her.She felt disgusted, but amongst all, afraid, after all, she was only but a child, fifteen years old at that time, with no one to turn to.Like a haunting memory, it repeated, over and over again and every single time, she woke up feeling like her world was caving in.But this time, it was different.Unlike all the other times, where the darkness would greet her, a pair of arms had pulled her in and a hand was running through her hair, whispering words that sounded oddly familiar.“Don’t worry, you’re safe.”Those words were enough to end her nightmare and her dreams soon returned to being pleasant.When morning came, she finally opened her eyes, only to find the bed empty.She sat up gently, and looked

    Hearing that Ivory had been kidnapped, was one thing, but being accused of being involved in her kidnapping, was a whole other matter on its own.“Pardon?” Lucien asked, glancing between the officers as if to confirm if what he had heard was correct.“At 9am yesterday, Ms. Ivory Remington was reported missing, kidnapped, after she stepped out of the hospital. It was later investigated that ten minutes after she went missing, you checked out of the hospital.”The more Lucien listened to this, the more he frowned. These people, they were all speaking nonsense!How could they accuse him of kidnapping Ivory?! He couldn’t even hurt a hair on her head.“I think you’re mistaken, officer. I would never hurt Ivory. I’m her boyfriend.” He informed.“Exactly so. It was reported that you both engaged in a quarrell a few days ago that-““Wait,” He interrupted the office before he could finish. “So, are you then saying that’s my reason for kidnapping her, allegedly?”The officer opened his mouth to

    "Quite the situation you've gotten yourself into, isn't it, Dearest Son of mine?"Hearing her words, Lucien couldn't help but smile. He stood up and approached the bar, greeting the woman in front of him with a simple nod."Hello, mother, Pleasure seeing you here."" He greeted as if nothing was wrong with the situation at hand."Oh don't play innocent with me, boy," She scolded and the smile on her lips faded a tad bit, allowing way for a more serious expression. One that Lucien wasn't really a fan of, yet, he forced a smile."Officers," Turning to the man with them, Lucien's mother began. "would you please be kind and let me have a moment alone with my son." She requested."Ma'am, that's against protocol, I can't-" The officer had originally began, but with one look from the woman in front of him, he'd glued his mouth shut and began contemplating his answer.The one thing he has learnt while being in this field was knowing when not to step on the wrong person's foot and right now, th

    The drive back to her house, surprisingly so, was shorter than she had anticipated.As Ezekiel pulled into the familiar streets of her residence, Ivory recalled that she had to reach out to Lucien.After thanking Ezekiel and stepping out of the car, she pulled out her phone and called Lucien.As usual, the phone only rang for a few seconds, before it was answered.“Lucien, hey,” She called out. “Are you still at the hospital?”The other end of the line was silent for a little while, but when a response came, Ivory frowned.“No, I’m not.” His voice sounded…close.She looked up and was surprised to see him sitting on the stairs of her porch.“Oh God,” she muttered in fright, before chuckling. “You startled me.”As she ended the call and pocketed her device, she approached him.“What are you doing here?

Did you manage to find her? Is she safe?” Asher asked, eagerly, and if not for the fact that he had helped him in finding Ivory, Gadreel would have suspected that his friend had a crush on her.But knowing him, he knew that wasn’t the case, he was just concerned.“She’s fine,” Gadreel answered, taking his seat and reaching for a glass of drink, but immediately opted for a glass of water. “I found her and she’s safe.”“Thank goodness.” Asher said and right around that time, the door to their VIP room opened and a third party walked in.All head turned in his direction and Asher seemed pleasantly surprised while Gadree

    As soon as he had gotten the location, Gadreel had rushed off and drove to the location himself. Although he had told Ezekiel to inform the cops, he didn’t bother waiting for them.He needed to get to Ivory as quickly as possible, and the time it would take the cops to reach and clear the place was time he didn’t want to waste.Arriving at the location, Gadreel found the car immediately, parked haphazardly in front of the house, and got out, running towards it.“Ivory!” He called out, pulling the door open. The moment the door opened, the man who had played his driver came flying out, nearly knocking him over.Gadreel was a little shaken, but managed to keep his footing and dodge the fist that was sent his way.“Where’s Ivory?” He demanded.“Unfortunately, Mr. Ødegaar, telling you that would cut my paycheck and I need that money, so, sorry.”With that, he lunged at Gadreel again, who easily dodged him, and returned the punch, sending the man flying and slamming into the ground.The ma

It’s a business place.” He told her, much to his surprise, she replied.“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t quite notice I was disturbing. I’ll leave immediately!” After saying this, she turned and began packing her things.Gadreel watched in surprise as she packed up everything and turned to face him, flashing him one last smile and a wave, before she turned and left, without another word.Gadreel could only blink in confusion at the oddity.What…never mind.Turning around, he ordered. “Get rid of those.”The employees who were enjoying Evangeline’s treats, did not hesitate to toss them in the trash at their boss’s command.As Gadreel walked back to his office, he put the weird encounter with Evangeline into the back of his mind and instead, focused on the main event of his day.“Ezekiel,” He called out to his assistant. “Please send the driver to pick up Ivory and take her to
