After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 13 Should I leave?
The next day, as discussed, Evangeline sat in one of the medical wards, awaiting the arrival of Doctor A.Beside her, both her parents stood, whispering soothing words of reassurance and congrats. But as much as she loved them, none of their words mattered as much as Gadreel’s presence did.Standing on the other side of her, he had placed his hand on the lower edge of her back and rubbed it soothingly, looking down at her with a gaze that made Evangeline want to be a baby in his embrace.“I really hope everything goes well,” She fiddle with the tip of her fingers, for once, feeling genuinely nervous.This her big break. Ever since she was little, she had always been restricted from doing certain things because of her poor heart condition. But she didn’t let that deter her from her passion in acting.However, last year, things took a turn for the worse and she had to suspend all activities on acting as per doctor’s orders.But now, with the surgery going to be an obvious success, Evang

The atmosphere had immediately returned back to how it once was the moment Ivory left.Gadreel was back to Evangeline’s side in seconds, rubbing soothing circles on her back with hopes of her heart not being affected.On the other side of Evangeline, Lionel and Samantha grumbled curses under their breaths, insulting the situation that had just happened and behind them, the on lookers also seemed to have their own fair share of say towards what had happened.Hearing from both directions, Gadreel suddenly felt a bit irritated. The movement of his hand against Evangeline’s back stopped and he turned to the whispering crowd, fixing them with a brief glare that had each and every one of them shutting up.Evangeline, ever the observant, did not fail to notice this.She frowned, but just as she was about to ask why Gadreel seemed irritated by their whispers, the door to the ward opened and in came Peter Mendez , the physician in charge of her case.“Doctor Mendez,” Lionel was the first to ap

Ivory had clocked out early from the office the following day, insisting on saving up enough strength for her father.She wanted to be ready to deal with whatever drama he was going to pull.Following the address she has been sent the previous day, she arrived at a bar in-built in a hotel, The Garden Of Eden, as it was ironically named. She went into the bar section and immediately spotted her father.“I’m so glad you came, Ivy,” He said as she took a seat in front of him in the boot he was seated, making sure to keep her distance.“I almost thought you wouldn’t come,” raising his hand, he waved a waiter over. “Tell me, what would you like to have?”“Can we please get this over with quickly, I have places to be.” Ivory insisted and Lionel cracked a smile.“I understand.” Turning to the waiter, he insisted. “Please get my daughter a glass of water.”The waiter nodded and after. Once he was gone, Lionel cleared his throat awkwardly and began.“You’re mad at me, Ivy, I can see, tell,”He

Fuck! She cursed. There was no way in hell she was getting in the same elevator as Gadreel!Her eyes quickly darted about looking for the stairway. She spotted it under seconds, but just as she turned to leave, Gadreel grabbed her hand.“Let go!” Ivory snapped, not wanting to waste another second.But her words didn’t seem to get to Gadreel. He frowned at her sight and without another word, pulled her into the elevator.The doors slid close before Ivory could protest and Gadreel pulled out a black card to swipe against the pad, granting access to the presidential floor.“What are you doing?” Ivory struggled in his hold. “Didn’t you hear me, I said let-“The rest of her words died on the tip of her tongue as Gadreel turned to glare at her.How dare she be so stubborn when she was dressed like this. She was practically exposed.If they had met under different circumstances, Gadreel would have ignored her. But imagine this, he came to this hotel, because after discussing with Veronica, h

Gadreel's phone was ringing in the background, he heard it vibrating on the sink where he had dropped it, yet, he paid no attention to it.Or rather, at this very moment, his brain considered the device unimportant.Trapped by the lips of a woman who he had only seen as nothing more than the sister of his childhood lover and an opportunist for the past five years, and now, was the source of this sudden and unexpected pleasure, Gadreel found the device not as important.And thus, he continued to devour her lips, holding her head in place as his tongue explored her mouth, tasting and savoring the sweetness, a sweetness he never knew existed.A sweetness, unlike the taste of any other woman he has ever kissed.And it was the very same sweetness that had him deepening the kiss and pulling Ivory closer, her soaked body coming in contact with his dry one.A wet, hot and cold sensation that had his skin tingling and a strange desire welling in the pits of his stomach.As Gadreel and Ivory we

18 minutes had already gone by; Evangeline noted this as she glanced at the time on her phone and then took a sip from her drink.All round her, people were bubbly and vibing to the club music, the atmosphere nothing short but happy, safe for her mood.Anxious and annoyed she felt as she tapped her leg and ignored the guy at her side, who had been trying hard to hit on her, as she waited for Gadreel to arrive.She hoped he would, else, she'd actually be spending the night in the arms of another man. The thought didn't totally disgust her, but it didn't please her rather, after all, she wanted Gadreel.He was the reason why she had drank a cup of aphrodisiac drug, although it wasn't the real deal, unlike the one that Ivory had been given, and would in fact, not take effect in twenty minutes, rather forty, but Gadreel didn't know that and Evangeline didn't care.It was the only way she could think of to get Gadreel's attention. Just thinking about the fact that he was with Ivory, irked

Evangeline gritted her teeth as she glared at the bottle in her hand.A nullifier?Why would Gadreel seek out something like this? Did he from the beginning, have no plan of getting intimate with her?Was it because of Ivory? Or did he not love her anymore?No, those two options were impossible. Gadreel had proved earlier, when he abandoned Ivory despite her being drugged and came to her, and even fought off the guy that got hand-sy with her, that he still loved her.So, what was it? Was his member no longer functioning? Had his ability to perform in bed been affected by his years of being in a vegetative state?All this thinking, coupled with the effect of he aphrodisiac that was starting to fully take effect, caused Evangeline’s head to spin.She stumbled a bit and Gadreel caught her.“Don’t be stubborn,” He took the bottle and undid the cap, placing it back in her hand with a stern look. “Drink the nullifier at once.”His words left no room for defiance and although Evangeline want

The following day, Ivory was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing. She groaned in protest as she wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep.Her phone, or rather, the caller, had other plans for her as the phone kept ringing. Frustrated and angered at the same time, Ivory finally answered the phone.“Yes-““This very instant, come home.” The voice that sounded from the other end belonged to her father.Pulling the phone away from her ear, she confirmed this and with a hiss, loud enough for Lionel to hear, she ended the call and placed her phone on the night stand, attempting to go back to sleep.However, the phone rang a few more times, totally disrupting that mission of hers. Finally at her wits end, Ivory took her phone and powered it off, granting both herself and her bedroom, temporary peace.Yeah, she thought, sinking comfortably back into her bed, this was it.The much needed sleep that she deserved. Who was her father to call and demand she come home after what he had don

After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 166 Uncovering Lies And Dark Secrets
The air suddenly became thick and the bile rising in Ivory’s throat, seemed to intensify as she waited for Lucien to answer.However, no answer came.After what felt like an eternity, Ivory pressed. “Did you? Did you kill Peter and everyone on this list? And what for?”She glanced back at the paper, her frown intensifying as she said. “Experiment? With the devil’s breath?”Her voice was sharp, holding a reprimanding edge to it that Lucien normally would have felt bad when he heard it. But not today.In fact, Ivory had only just now noticed, it wasn’t just his smile and warmth, but everything about him seemed different.Even the air surrounding him had changed, a silent warning that if she kept pressing down this path, she’d discover things that are meant to stay hidden, for her sake.But Ivory ignored all that. To help with hidden secret! The potential maker of her one of her problems, w

Ivory drove up the driveway leading to the Varga estate and got out. From the moment she had gotten in, a very uneasy feeling had settled in her gut.The house was quiet, and eerily so.With a frown on her face, Ivory walked towards the main entrance. It was a big, double door that was always opened, but today, it was closed.Her frown deepened.Reaching out, she rang the bell. A few seconds later, the sound of footsteps approached the door, and the next thing Ivory knew, the door swung open and standing in front of her, was none other than, Lucien.“We need to-“ She began, but stopped when she noticed how he was looking.Black visibly circles were under his eyes, and his face, looked tired, as if he hadn’t gotten a single bit of sleep in a long time.“What happened?” Ivory asked, forgetting her original intentions of confronting him.“Nothing,” Came Lucien’s answer. Then he looke

Standing in front of Remington Crop, Ivory took a deep breath, readying herself for what was too happen.It was day 14, two weeks since the death of her father. She was sure the news of her inheriting the CEO position of Remington Crop, through his will, would have spread like wildfire. So, around 2 AM last night, she had decided, it was time to come into Remington Crop, make her presence known and start the merger as soon as possible.That was the only way she could focus on other things; Ivory deemed.However, now, as she stood in front of the company, she couldn’t help but think that things weren’t going to go as easy as she wanted them to. But, nonetheless, she drew in a deep breath, soothing the anxiety that had began to bubble in the pit of her stomach, before stepping in.The first thing that greeted her was the stares. All heads turned in her direction, looking at her with a gaze of scrutiny and those who knew who she was, whispered wo

The ride back was comfortably quiet. Ivory sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window as she thought back to what Gabriella had said.At some point, she thought about when Gabriella had mentioned having Grandchildren and her cheek heated up ever so slightly.Ah, that sly old woman, she knew exactly what she was doing.“Did my grandmother say something?”Ivory flinched at the sound of his voice, it was calm, startling her from her train of thought.“Huh?” She asked.“You’ve been awfully quiet, the whole time.” Gadreel pointed out, keeping his eyes on the road, but for some reason, Ivory felt like he was looking at her. “Is there something wrong? Did grandmother say something to you?”“No, nothing like that.” She quickly assured. “Your grandmother,” She paused for a few seconds, then chuckled, more at the fact that she allowed herself to be bothered by

With Samantha, the house’s last residence, now gone, the big huge house, immediately felt lifeless. Standing in the living room, Ivory took a look around and sighed.It wasn't the first time she had been here, alone. In fact, there were many times when she had returned to the manor after school, and found it empty.But, this was different. This time, the house was really empty. And for the first time in her life, Ivory realized how much she truly loathed it.In the past, when her family was still together, she had absolutely loved this place, treating it like a castle. Now, after everything had happened, and the people were now gone, she couldn’t help but realize how empty the house was.A thought to sell the property crossed her mind, but the very next second, she dismissed it. After all, she could never do that. Not only was the manor built with so many memories, but the house, was also her mother’s pride.To sell it, was like denying her mother’s legacy.Sighing, she took another l
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 161 Putting An End To Her Schemes
After the strange meeting with Aurora and having nothing else to do in the company for the time being, Ivory had decided to clock out. But she wasn’t heading home, rather, she went straight to the family house.Initially, she had decided to give Samantha a little time before kicking her out, forcefully, as she knew things would come to that level, but after that encounter with Aurora and the recording she had heard, Ivory didn’t just want to kick her out, she wanted to put an end to the woman’s schemes.Once and for all.So, about thirty minutes drive and one brief, yet important pit stop later, Ivory was walking through the gates of the Remington Manor and into the main house.She didn’t need to announce her presence or call out to her so called stepmother, because the very moment she walked into the living area, she was met with the very sight of Samantha.“What’s the meaning of this?”It was the first words that escaped Samantha’s lips the moment she saw her. Her eyes narrowed dang
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 160 Was Going To Get Her One Way Or Another
Ivory wasn’t sure which to be more surprised by; the dramatic bow Aurora has just made, or the fact that her last name was Varga, the very same one as Lucien’s.No, It definitely had to be the latter.“Varga?” She asked, giving off the very emotion that Aurora knew she would.Confusion.“Are you by any chance related-““Yes,” She cut her off with a smile, know exactly where Ivory was going. “Lucien, he’s my son.”Immediately those words left her mouth, Aurora had expected Ivory to jump at the opportunity and apologize profusely for her rude behavior so far, but much to her disappointment, it seemed to have the opposite effect on Ivory.Ah, what had that wonderful child of hers said about her to make Ivory react this way? She could only but wonder as she watched the girl in front of her, look her over from head to toe, before giving a bow that was anything but polite.“I apologize if I had behaved rudely towards you, Mrs. Varga. Please accept my apology, I was unaware of the fact that

The shareholders were, needless to say, surprised, when they suddenly heard that Ivory had called for a meeting. But, with what she had done to the previous shareholders looming within the walls of the company like a death threat, no one dared to question her.So, when the time of the meeting had finally arrived, Ivory found herself surrounded by the remaining top shareholders.“Now,” she began, taking her seat at the head of the table. “I know, everyone’s confused and wondering why I’ve called you here, but, please, bear with me.” Taking a look around the table, she gauged every of their reaction, before continuing.“I’m sure many of you are aware of the passing of Lionel Remington, my father,”A chorus of muttered condolences and sympathies filled the room and Ivory nodded.“Thank you. However, with his passing, and the reading of his will, a more expectation, has been placed on my shoulder, unlike never before. With his passing, I was left with the responsibility of taking over Rem

Ivory had expected nothing less from the woman, so, she was not surprised. In fact, it was amusing, and if not for the fact that this woman, was her father’s widow, she would have burst into laughter.“That’s interesting.” She began, a small smirk on her lips. “You want to take over Remington Crop, when it was clearly stated in my father’s will that it had been left to me.”Leaning forward, she stared the woman in the eye and asked. “Are you trying to get on my nerves, Samantha?”The woman, although she seemed a little shaken by Ivory’s gaze, she did not deter from her original goal. “I’m only doing what’s best for the company, for my husband’s legacy.” She stated.“Remington Crop would crumble the moment it enters your hands. I won’t stand by and watch-“Ivory had laughed, interrupting her before she could even finish her statement.“Did you think, you could do something about it in the first place?” She questioned. “You may be his step wife, but I’m his blood, his biological daughte
