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

    After having breakfast, showering and then changing into the dress Ezekiel had brought for her, Ivory was ready to leave.She retrieved her phone from the nightstand where Gadreel had told her Ezekiel left it, and took a quick glance at it.The home screen was filled with several calls and messages from Emma and Carlos, mostly Emma.Ah, she knew Emma would have been worried this much, after all, she was on the phone with her when it all happened.Clicking on one of the missed call, she presses the phone to her ear and waited for Emma to pick.“Ivory!” The worries voice of her best friend sounded in her ear only a few seconds later.“Oh my God, are you okay? Did anything happen to you? Are you harmed at all?” She bombarded Ivory with questions.“No, I’m fine. I’m not hurt and…” She hesitated before saying the last part. “Not happened to me.”It wasn’t a tot

    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? The doctor said you weren’t me

    After Ivory had left, Gadreel saw no use in staying in this house again. But rather than returning home, he went straight to Opal heights after receiving a call from Asher.As soon as he walked into their usual VIP room, he was bombarded by questions.“How is she? 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

    After the not so helpful meet up with Cameron and Asher, Gadreel had returned home.Thankfully, Evangeline wasn’t lingering around and after sending Jennifer away, he retired to his study and pulled out the folder that his private investigator has given him a while back.He had refused to look at it ever since then, but now, he had a feeling that looking at it, would help solve the conflict that was brewing within him.So, bracing himself, Gadreel pulled out the contents of the folder, going mainly for the information that has been gathered on Evangeline.He made It through the first page, the picture he had seen before and proceeded to the second.This one wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, explaining in details the thinks Evangeline has done when she was aboard and briefly, the things she had done after Returning.He was about to flip to the next page when something caught his eyes.

    The next few days passed by uneventfully.With Lucien constantly hovering over her, Ivory didn’t have the chance to get herself involved in her usual shenanigans, which honestly, she was okay with.It wasn't like she was dying to get involved.But after three days of constant babying from Lucien, Ivory couldn’t help, but grow annoyed. She had things to do, missions to complete, people to speak to, and Lucien wasn’t giving her any space.So today, she decided to change things up. So, first thing in the morning, before he could even come to pick her like the past few days, Ivory was already out of the house, ready for work.Except, she wasn’t going to work. She had stepped out with one agenda, getting across to Annabelle Mendez.Lucien wanted to do that exact same thing, but as he had been hit by a fucking car, she had taken the liberty of handling that part.So, with that, she had spent the whole morning, running around, trying to track down the woman and when she finally did, it was a

    Ivory was speechless for the better half of the time since she had walked into the Cafe, trying to wrap her head around why Lucien was here."Lucien," She began, taking a step forward. "What...what are you doing here?""I came to meet up with Mrs. Mendez," Lucien said as he stood up and approached her, standing a few feet away from her. "I contacted her a few days ago, apologizing for not being able to make it to our previous meeting and to, set up a new one. And today happened to be that day." He explained, but Ivory couldn't help but frown.Huh, she thought. Didn't Annabelle say that Lucien had never contacted her. Did she lie to her and if so, why did she do that?"Mrs. Mendez," Ivory was about to take her up on that little thought of hers, question her, but much to her dismay, Lucien stepped in front of her, blocking her line of vision."I answered your question, V, why not answer mine. Why are you here? This isn't the company, now is it?""Well, I had a few things to do around th

    The room was empty and the sky had darkened by the time Ivory woke up. The rumbling of her stomach, was the first thing that greeted her as her nose picked up on the enticing aroma that hung in the air.However, she made no effort to get up. Staring blankly at the ceiling, she allowed the events of the past few days, replay in her mind.Her chest ached and the back of her eyes burned. She made no attempt to wipe away the tears when they formed, allowing them to freely fall, rolling down her cheek.She hadn’t even realized that she had begun to cry.All her life, she had tried, tried so hard, to keep the pain at bay, to not allow it to break her and yet, the past few days had shown her that the walls she had built up, were nothing but a mere illusion.Her defenses were weak.The betrayal, the fear, the confusion, the pain, all those emotions, the very same ones she had tried to bury deep down, had resurfaced, stronger than ever, and now, the only thing they left her feeling, was helple

    The sizzling sound of meat being fried and the sweet rich aroma of eggs, filled the kitchen. It’s maker, Gadreel, moved swiftly around the kitchen, an apron tied around his body with the sleeves of his shirt rolled up. It was a scene so adorable and cute, anyone who happened to catch sight of it, would be surprised.It was hard to believe that a man so cold, a man who previously only cared for his business and the woman who turned out to have deceived him, was capable of making a scene such as this.As the meat reached its perfect frying point, Gadreel scooped it out of the pan, and placed it on the dish, putting beside it, the eggs he had fried.A simple meal of meat, egg and toast. Easy on the stomach and the exact thing he believed Ivory would needs.“Ivory,” Turning around with the food in hand, he searched the living room for her, expecting to at least see her waiting for him on the couch.However, when he noticed she was nowhere to be seen, he tilted his head and placed the food

    The quietness in the car settled quickly. Or perhaps, that was what Ivory thought it was. In reality, Gadreel had been saying words.His lips moved, he threw occasional glances at her, but Ivory far too deep in her own head to respond.“Ivory, did you hear me?”At the mention of her name, Ivory blinked, slowly and turned her head towards the source of the voice.Gadreel. She realized and slowly, she nodded her head. “Yes,” She replied, softly, almost weak. “You asked, if I’m okay.”“And, are you?” His voice was probing. There was a soft encouragement behind it, ensuring her that if she needed to speak or pour her heart out, he was here, willing and ready to listen.Ivory took a second longer to answer this time around. Was she okay? She really didn’t know how she felt. She had feelings roaming her chest, clashing against each other and the prominent urge to scream, was ever so present.Yet, all of those things made her feel numb. Like it was all too much, the betrayal, disgust, disapp

    The dread- thick and crippling to its core, settled upon Ivory like a thick impenetrable veil, as she realized the error she had just committed.She had messed up.The reality, a cruel reminded that she had thrown away her final chance at get out of this whole ordeal, was like a hard pill to swallow.Breath hitching, her thoughts quickly spiraled down a self deprecating path, a path where she wondered if this was all part of some divine punishment.Had she angered the gods, the heavens, or maybe, the universe itself?Because no matter how much she wanted, she could never catch a break.The universe was hellbent on keeping her in a loop of never ending pain and sorrow. Otherwise, one couldn’t explain to her, after how, only just losing her father, she ends up in a situation like this and when freedom seems on the tip of her finger, she had easily thrown it away in a fit of fear and adrenaline fuel trembles.Fucking hell, she cursed internally, eyes darting towards Lucien’s still uncons

    Ivory dashed for the door with her full speed, but, Lucien had predicted her moves. In no time, he was in front of her, and she was thrown onto the couch, her breath escaping her momentarily.“Ivory,” He called, but she quickly kicked him, aiming for his crotch, but he had seen it coming and easily avoided it, his hand grabbing her leg and throwing it away.“Don’t misbehave.” He warned, pinning her down to the couch, but she continued to struggle, kicking and thrashing until her finally grabbed her hands and pinned them down above her head, his face close to hers.“Behave, or I swear to God, I’ll really kill him.” This threat, unlike his previous ones, carried a lot of weight, and it had caused Ivory to freeze.Her eyes were wide and her breaths were harsh, as her heart continued to race. She had come to know, in the past few days, that Lucien was a crazy person, he had made a few threats, done things that shook her and ultimately said things that made her realize how stupid she was f

    “Mr. Ødegaar?”Gadreel was in the middle of watching his tracking software load the last location of Ivory’s phone, something he particularly wouldn’t have done under normal circumstances, but with the way things were looking like and the sinking feeling in his stomach, he was more than ready to do something like this to make sure Ivory was okay.That was, until the sudden appearance of his assistant, broke through his thoughts and the insistent tapping of his index finger against the table.Followed by a knock, Ezekiel had walked into his office, carrying with him, a box that Gadreel dimmed ugly, the very second he laid his eyes on it.“What is it?” He asked and looked down at the box. “And what is that?”“I’m just as confused, Sir. A garbage man stopped by and insisted that this belonged to you. A letter was left for you, he said.” Ezekiel explained, placing the box on the table and carefully sliding it to his boss when he had gotten close enough.After a few seconds of staring at t

    Looking at his phone, Gadreel frowned. The call earlier, had it been a fluke?Was he meant to feel better now that she had called him?But, why did she call him and then hang up immediately? And the messages he sent, why hasn’t he responded to them?Sighing, Gadreel massaged his pained Temple. He could feel that migraine coming on, and if there was one thing he didn’t need right now, was a migraine.Pushing those thoughts to the back of his mind, he walked towards his desk, his fingers typing in the password and logging into his laptop.Something really wasn’t adding up and he was going to get down to the bottom of it.~•~Four hours after the whole ordeal that had happened, Ivory stepped out of her room. She was in a new dress, but, despite that, her mind was still stuck on the previous incident.As a matter of fact, her entire being was.Even though he didn’t actually do anything, she was still shaken, and the fact that the door was locked and she was unable to leave, was making it

    “…you don’t need to tell me what I already know,” Lucien didn’t mean to sound rude, but with his mother being on the other side of the line, hounding down on him about how he needed to get Ivory to see things from their perspective as soon as next week, was making it hard for him not to snap. “You’ve told me this plenty of times, now.”“Don’t speak like that,” His mother reprimanded. “This is important. I believe I’ve given you enough time to do the needful and I’m beginning to run out of patience, my time is almost up. So, this is your last warning, get the girl on our side, or I’ll do it by myself.”Without waiting for an answer, she hung up the phone, leaving Lucien to sigh out loudly.What a wonderful way to ruin the start of his day, he thought, turning and exiting the balcony, only to find that Ivory was no longer where he had left her.He looked in the direction of the living room, her second most seen place, then in the kitchen, finding no trace of her.His brows furrowed and

    After spending two days in his house, Ivory had come to the realization that there was no way of getting that door open on her own.She had tried several things; banging, kicking, pushing, punching, setting a makeshift fire to trigger the fire setting and even trying to use items that Lucien had touched to recreate his finger print, but, nothing had worked.All of them were useless.Sighing, Ivory rested her forehead against the surface of the door, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.“This is hopeless,” She muttered.She was trapped here, wasn’t she?There was no way out.Her phone, was with Lucien.She had nothing.What should she do?“Ivory.”The sudden voice, had caused her heart to stop momentarily. Turning around, she saw him, leaning against the doorway.“What are you doing?”Ivory had to keep herself from frowning. He had asked her the same thing the previous day, and she had responded with the exact same words.“Trying to open the door.”“I can see that,” Lucien said,
