The ride to Elixiron felt longer than it should have been thanks to the earlier interaction and as they stepped out of the car, Lucien was about to apologize for that, but the words died on the top of his tongue and his gaze immediately darkened.Ivory frowned at this, but when she looked in the direction of where he was staring at, she immediately understood why.Standing in front of Elixiron, resting against his car, was Gadreel. And the frown that creased his face when he spotted them together, was evident."What is he doing here?" Lucien asked. Unlike before when he hid the distaste in his tone, he didn't bother this time around, making it known that Gadreel's presence disturbed him."I...I have no clue." Ivory said with a frown, which only deepened when Gadreel started approaching them."Ivory," He greeted her, acknowledging her presence, yet totally ignoring Lucien as he kept his gaze focused on her.The other man, noticing this, couldn't help but silently chuckle. Gadreel Ødega

The drive to the hospital was a silent one, no one said a word, and although Gadreel occasionally glanced at her, he sais nothing and neither did she.So the silence remained until the last moment."We're here," Gadreel announced once they had pulled up at the hospital's parking lot.They both got out of the car and headed for the entrance, walking down the hallway and to the ward where Lionel was.As they were nearing the ward, Evangeline, who was standing a few feet away, came into their vision.She spotted them almost immediately and rushed to their side, no more accurately, she was rushing to Gadreel's side, when she spotted Ivory and stopped."What...what is she doing here?" She questioned, glaring hard at her stepsister."Evangeline," Gadreel called out in a somewhat warning tone. "We're at a hospital."Evangeline was mortified and upset over Gadreel's words. Since when...no, there was no use asking that question.Gadreel had been acting weird the past few days. When it started,

Sitting still and quiet to the sound of beeping hospital machines, Ivory's mind replayed all that had just happened in the hallway and she frowned.It hadn't been in her head, she wasn't hallucinating, Gadreel had indeed changed.At first, she couldn't quite put her hand on what had changed, but now, she was sure it was his attitude, not just towards her, but towards Evangeline.It was like...the tables had turned.Why was this? She wondered. Was it because Gadreel wanted something? The essence of oblivion? Her medical expertise?Or...The dream she had a few months back flashed in her mind and her grip around her dress tightened.Had he found out that she was Arnett?If that was the case, was he simply trying to curry favor with her, or has he finally remembered her?Just the thought of that alone, lit up a single stick of matches, in the form of hope, in her heart.But as quickly as it had been lit, Ivory put it out. She didn't want to give herself hope, that would only be a foolish

The tears eventually stopped falling, but of course, not because she couldn’t cry no more, but because if she didn’t stop, she’d eventually end up in the hospital, ruining the enlightenment that had come to her in a time of heartbreak.If she couldn’t have Gadreel, then no one could; that was said enlightenment the Lord had bestowed upon her, as she called it.Except, she decided to tweak this enlightenment a little bit. She knew Ivory was a gold digging bitch, meaning she was only flocking around Gadreel and messing up their lives because he had money, fame and power.Take all that honey away, and the flies would disappear.Pressing her phone against her ear, she listened to the line ring. After the third ring, it was answered.“Ms. Remington, what a pleasant surprise to receive your call. And here I was thinking you had run away with you tails tucked between your legs.”The familiar voice, along with taunts of Mr. Foe, reached her ears, but Evangeline was in no mood to entertain his

With the documents for the surgery signed and the date agreed upon, Ivory stepped out of the hospital, but was surprised to see Gadreel waiting for her.“Where’s Evangeline?” The words came out of her mouth before she could even stop herself. “And why are you here?”“Have you settled things with the hospital?” Gadreel answered her question, with one of his own, making Ivory frown, but she chose not to take it up with him.“Yes,” She answered, pulling out her phone and confirming that it was just before Noon.God, she had about an hour before that timeline and honestly, she didn’t want to stick around and find out if Lucien would indeed come find her.Speaking of Lucien, an idea popped into her head.“Gadreel,”He was surprised to hear her call out to him. “What is it?” He asked despite it, watching as she hesitated for a few seconds, before going forward.“I need a favor from you.”Well, that was unexpected. But pleasantly so, because this meant the gap between them was slowly closing

Ivory was quick to jump out of the car as soon as it pulled into Elixiron’s parking lot. She had spent more than enough time, encased in the same space as Gadreel, to want to be another second closer to him.“Thanks for the ride,” She muttered as she closed the door and turned in the other direction.However, Gadreel rolled down the window and called out to her.“Ivory,” He watched as she turned to him, arched a brow and waited for what he wanted to say.But even after a few seconds, he couldn’t bring the words to come out of his mouth.I’m sorry for the way I treated you, he wanted to say, but those words were stuck in his throat, making them hard to come out.After a few more seconds of trying, he decided to give up, for today at least.“It’s nothing, never mind.” He said and rolled up the window, driving away and leaving Ivory standing there, confused.Well, if Gadreel wasn’t getting weirder by the second, then she didn’t know what else to think.Turning around, she walked into Eli

The new week had waltzed in before anyone could notice. But unlike the past weeks, the beginning of this one was anything but pleasant.Gadreel, seated behind the desk in his office, had received the file from his PI, the security footage from a street camera outside Florida’s house.He felt somewhat happy, accomplished perhaps, as he looked at the file, subtly imagining how content Ivory would look when he hands the file over to her.In the past, that look of happiness on her face, would have brought about inexplicable feelings in his chest, but now, imagining it only made him want to see it more.As he copied the footage into a flash drive and waited for it to copy, he glanced at his side and his eyes landed on the little present he had picked up this morning.A batch of sweetened chocolate candy and a single red rose. Perhaps the red rose was going over board, but Gadreel didn’t care.He dimmed it fit, seeing it as a perfect prop for the apology he was going to make when he saw Ivo

Ivory’s entire face crumbled with confusion as she looked at Lucien.“What?” She asked, trying to understand if she had just heard him clearly.She had and as a matter of fact, Lucien boldly repeated those words again.“Ødexa is finally facing its downfall. That’s good, isn’t it?” He said and flashed her that innocent looking smile of his.Ivory was speechless. But when she did manage to say something, it came out as a scrambled Sentence.“What…I don’t…I don’t get. What’s so good about,” she glanced back at the report. “This?”“Everything,” Came Lucien’s answer and when Ivory glanced at him, she was once again startled by how close he was.He had leaned forward, resting one hand on the table, while the other controlled the mouse, pulling up stock data.“Take a look at this,” He said, gesturing towards the monitor. But Ivory’s gaze remained on him. “Elixiron’s value has risen by 9% despite the damage incurred not too long ago. And I’m sure that’s because of what’s happening to Ødexa. S

“Ivory?” Calling out, Gadreel walked after her. “What’s wrong, Ivory?”Pausing Midway in the act of packing up the tea mugs, she turned and like before glared at him, but said nothing.Gadreel was utterly confused. But nonetheless, when she started moving, he chased after her. “Did I do something wrong?” He asked. “Or did I say something wrong? Please, talk to me, Ivory.”“Talk to you?” Dropping the mug into the sink, Ivory turned to face him, glaring, but now, looking closer, Gadreel realized there was no real anger in it. “How the hell do you expect me to talk to you, all sun shine and rainbows are the shit you pulled?”Gadreel blinked once, confused, but then, it ticked. “Oh.”“Yes, oh.” She huffed and turned, picking up a rag and wiping the already clean surface. “You can’t just jump in front of a gun and play Superman, Gadreel.

Surprisingly, Gadreel had taken up the task of bandaging Elias’s wounded shoulder, while Ivory calmed down in the kitchen, brewing herself some calming tea.Gadreel had insisted she took a nap, but she had declined. The events of the past hour still fresh and raw in her mind, she doubted she could close her eyes without reliving that moment.“How did you know?” Elias asked, glancing above his shoulder and watching the young man work.Gadreel paused his actions, looking up from the wound.As the last wrap of the gauze was placed and the bandage secured, Elias took a look at the work and commented.“Surprisingly, a fine work.”Gadreel gave him a look, but said nothing at his feeble attempt of a jab. As he cleaned up, Elias turned around and looked at Ivory in the open space kitchen, a thoughtful expression on his face.“Thank you, for looking out for her,” He said suddenly and Gadreel stopped, f

The silence that followed the reveal was tense and filled with so many emotions lingering in the air. Surprise, confusion and betrayal.It was clear as day that the news hadn’t been received well.Ivory was the first to react.“Your father?” She repeated, disbelief in her tone as she looked from Elias, her master in the medical sector and someone she sees as a father and Lucien, the newest betrayer in her life.Lucien met her gaze briefly. An unreadable expression flashed in his eyes before he looked away.“You’re his father?” Her question was directed as Elias. She sounded angry, demanding the answers that the sudden reveal had brought to light.“I am.” The older man answered, keeping his gaze on Lucien.Ivory opened her mouth, wanting to ask more than one question, but in the end, settling for a plain old simple, “How?”Elias ignored her words, or rather, he just did

Gadreel reached the intersection between Ivory’s house and the main road. Pausing, he furrowed his brow and tapped his fingers against the steering wheel, deep in thought.Where had he seen that car? He wondered, searching deep into his mind until it clicked.Back at the conference, the one Ivory had held when apologizing for her actions, Gadreel had seen that same car, parking just as he took pulled into the premises.And the person who had been driving that car, who had stepped out of that car, at that time, was…Lucien.“Oh fuck!” He cursed.Without a second thought, he backed his car and drove straight for Ivory’s house. He had been an idiot, a fucking dumbass. He had known from the start that Lucien was not done with whatever sick trick he was playing, he knew the bastard would try and carry on, yet, he had actually left Ivory alone, given the man an open chance to take Ivory and who knows what.His jaws ti
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 184 The Final Straw
A God damn high school teenager; that was what Ivory classified herself as she walked into her place, ears and neck burning hot.She was thankful that the lights were off, else, she would have seen her own reflection on the entrance mirror, red like a fucking ripped tomatoes and have to reprimand herself for acting like a hormonal teen.But, could she really be blamed? Gadreel had partial blame for this, after all, he was at fault for changing the way he had and making her experience things she never should towards him, again.Grumbling a few words underneath her breath, she headed towards her freezer, clapping her hands and turning on The lights as she grabbed a jog of water, a glass and turned to pour herself a glass.It was then, that she noticed second person in her house. A yelp of surprise left her mouth and she dropped the glass cup, shattering it.But her eyes didn't pay attention to the broken glass now at her feet. Her eyes, wide and fill

Lucien had never liked police stations. So, after three whole hour of being interrogated, he was more than happy, when the police found nothing on him and as a result, had to let him go.Hand massaging the wrist that had been cuffed for quite a while, Lucien walked out of the station, pausing almost immediately when he saw one of his mother's men waiting for him."Young master," The guard greeted with a bow."What's this about?" Lucien asked. The answer to his question, came in the form of a single note."Madam Varga has instructed that I give this to you."Collecting the note, Lucien unfolded it, read through it for a few seconds and frowned.His dearest mother always knew how to ruin his day, making it worse than it already was.What the hell did she mean by 'Ivory is now considered a liability'?He didn't need her to answer that, the answer it self, was clear as day. His mother now considered her a threat to their plan and w

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
