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

Gadreel had gotten back home about an hour ago and began his search, yet, he hadn’t found the ledger.Sitting at the edge of his bed, hand perched on his knee and brows drawn together, Gadreel was deep in thought, trying his best to figure out where the ledger was.The last place he had left it, secure and safe, was here, in his bedroom. But just to be sure, he has also checked the safe in his house office.Nothing.He has searched underneath his bed and beneath and between the pile of files in his office.Nothing. The ledger was nowhere to be seen. If he didn’t know any better, he would have said that someone has come in and stolen in.But that was impossible, seeing as the only people who had access to the house were him, his grandmother who was obviously not a suspect to begin with, Jennifer, well, that old lady was just as she is, an old lady, too content with life to think of doing something so stupid and later come to work.Moving on, there was Ivory. Gadreel for some reason, ev

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
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 179 The Horror That Would Haunt Her
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
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 177 Her Chance At Escape
“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
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 176 Her Escape Plan
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
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 175 He Lost Control
“…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 Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 174 Ray Of Hope
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,

“The number you’re trying to call, is currently-“The automated voice hadn’t gotten the chance to finish it’s message, before Gadreel hung up the phone.Still switched off? He wondered, frowning down at his call history that showed the number of times he had called Ivory.25 calls and 13 messages.That was the amount, and none of them had been answered.Frown deepening, he ran his fingers through his hair, his brows furrowing further.Something didn’t feel right.He couldn’t pinpoint the reason, or explain it, but his intuition was telling him, that something was off.Ivory wouldn’t just stand him up, or ignore his calls and messages for two whole days. In the past, sure, he would have agreed that she was capable of doing it.But now, things had changed between them. He could tell she was no longer as cold as she previously was to him. And even though she hadn’t completely forgiven him for the things he did, she had at least, decided to try and put the past behind her.So, this, this
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 172 Before He Abandoned Us
Ivory woke up the following morning…to an awfully familiar remake of her bedroom back from when she still stayed with Doctor Elias.Witnessing it was so startling, that she shot up from the bed, a frown of confusion marring the space between her brows.What the hell was happening?!Last night, she had fallen asleep on the couch, but now, she was back in a room, her room, that was almost identical to her previous one, except the windows were barred, and there were no mirrors.And the fact that the entire room was a bit smaller than her original one, only added to her confusion.So, how did she end up here?Wasn’t she supposed to be on the couch, in the living room, trapped in Lucien’s house?“Ah, you’re awake.”The sound of Lucien’s voice, had caused her head to snap in his direction and she immediately frowned.He was leaning against the doorway, dressed in a pair of jeans and a white, long sleeved dress shirt. His arms were crossed, and the sleeves of his shirt had been rolled up, le
