After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 133 Bitten Off More Than She Can Chew.
An hour had passed. Ivory had stopped trembling, and although she was still quiet, her expression had relaxed and the fear that had taken hold of her had disappeared.She was no longer scared, but Gadreel didn’t completely let go. They were lying by each other’s side, facing each other, with Ivory’s face nearly in his chest and his hand around her waist.This was his method of getting ready to prevent any other bad dream that occurs, in the event that she falls back at asleep.But even after an hour, that didn’t happen and just when he was contemplating what to say, Ivory spoke up.“Thank you,” Her words were soft, almost as if she wasn’t sure whether she should have said them or not.Gadreel looked down at her, his eyes scanned her face, before he asked. “Do you have frequent nightmares like this?”Ivory didn’t answer. Unconsciously, she shrank back, not wanting to answer that question. It was already pathetic enough that he saw her in this state and on top that, she had acted so pat

The kiss was long and passionate, and when they broke apart, their gazes locked.Ivory saw the look in his eyes, and for some reason, it made her feel a little self conscious, especially when her hands automatically moved to cover her exposed skin.Gadreel saw the action, and his expression softened. Reaching down, he gently held her wrist and pulled her hands away, revealing her naked torso, the only thing hiding her were the straps of her bra."Don't hide," He said, his eyes never leaving her body as he leaned down and planted a soft kiss on her collar bone."You're beautiful,"Ivory didn't say anything. Her lips were pressed together and she remained silent, watching him as he showered her chest with gentle kisses.His hands roamed her sides, before resting on her hips. Slowly, he pulled the jean skirt down, along with her underwear.Now, the only thing she was wearing was her bra.Gadreel pulled his lips away and looked down at her. Their eyes locked, and for a brief second, he wo

Ivory woke up to the foreign feelings of arms wrapped around her waist and a warm chest pressed against her back.Instantly, memories from last night flooded her mind, causing her to tense.Gadreel’s arms around her tightened, his grip was firm, but not enough to cause her discomfort.She remained still, trying to decide on what to do. A part of her, the sane part perhaps, was telling her to get up and move, but the other part, the insane part, was telling her to stay put.In the end, it was the insane part of her that won, and Ivory stayed where she was, with her back pressed against Gadreel’s chest and his arms around her waist.After a little while, she stirred in his hold, turning so that she could face him.And the sight of him, sleeping so peacefully, made her breath hitch.He looked…so much different.There was a certain aura around him, something that was not there, before they divorced.Something had changed.Gently, she lifted her hand, and brought it close to his face.

The moment the speedboat arrived at the shores of the island, Ivory was surprised to see that the first person that jumped out was Lucien.“Ivory!” He rushed towards her, sounding relieved and worried at the same time, as he pulled her into a tight hug, totally ignoring Gadreel who stood beside her.“Lucien,” Ivory breathed out, relief washing over her, and she returned the hug. Only pulling away when she felt like the hug had last long enough.“How…how are you here? How did you find me?” She asked.Lucien’s answer was a bit delayed. It was only after a few seconds that Ivory realized he had been glaring in Gadreel’s direction.Gadreel himself, looked unfazed by the glare Lucien was giving him and even gave her a curt nod, when she looked in his direction, before he turned back to continue his conversation with part of the rescue team.“Lucien,” She called sharply, bringing his attention back to her. “How did you find me?”Lucien’s gaze lingered on her face for a short while, then dro

Night had fallen by the time Gadreel returned to his manor. As he settled into a much needed hot bath, a sigh left his lips.His body was still sore from having to sleep on the cold hard ground, and the warmth from the water was soothing.Closing his eyes, he rested his head against the wall behind him and thought about the events that had happened earlier, the rescue, and everything after.Once they had returned to civilization, Lucien, being ever the pest he was, had immediately taken Ivory to the hospital for a check up, preventing him from having a conversation with her, much like he had done on the boat.But that wasn’t the only thing that had happened on the boat. At some point, while Ivory dozed off in one of the benches, Lucien had walked up to him and said.“I appreciate you having taken care of my girlfriend, but from this moment forth, stay away from her. You’ve done enough damage already.”And without giving Gadreel so much as a chance to respond, he had returned to Ivory’

Luminary annual ceremony rolled around faster than Ivory had planned. By the time she had been discharged from the hospital, found an attire for the theme and got everything done, the day was nearly over, and the night, had descended.“You look wonderful, Ivory.”Turning her head to the side, her eyes landed on Lucien who stood by the door, dressed in a black suit with his dark hair neatly combed back.His eyes scanned her appearance for a bit longer and the smile on his lips dipped ever so slightly. “Too beautiful, if I must say. There’s no doubt a lot of men will have their eyes on you.”Ivory couldn’t help but smile. “Flattery will get you nowhere, Lucien.” She said, turning back to the mirror, and examining her appearance once more.She was wearing a light red spaghetti handle, floor length gown, with a long slit that stopped a bit above her knees. On her shoulder, a courtesy of what Lucien had go

Veronica Blythe has gotten on the stage, summoned by the Emcee to start the opening speech. Many paid attention to what she was saying, but Gadreel completely ignored it, no, he completely ignored everyone in the room, paying attention only to Elias sitting beside him.In his mind, Elias’s words played over and over like a tape set on repeat.Ivory was his disciple, Arnett.His brain was working hard to make sense of this information, but no matter how hard he tried to, he couldn’t seem to bring himself to understand.How was Ivory Arnett, his last disciples? From what Veronica told him about Arnett, she had checked into Luminary the year he went into a vegetative state.So if Ivory was her, how had she managed to meet Elias while nursing him back to health?The more Gadreel thought about it, the more he felt that migraine of his coming back. The ringing in his ears was just a mile away when Elias spoke up.“I met Iv

All eyes were on her as soon as she and Lucien stepped into the event room of Luminary’s annual ceremony and Ivory couldn’t help but rethink her choice of being here.“Unnerving, isn’t it,” Lucien said in a low tone from beside her.She nodded. “A bit so, yeah.”“Well, you have to brace yourself, because after tonight, everyone’s going to know that you’re Arnett.”Ivory’s head snapped in his direction as fast as it possibly could and she stared at him with wide eyes.“What…what do you mean by that?”Pointing towards the huge projector screen on the stage in front, where several shaded out circles, along with the code names of Luminary’s best students were, he explained.“Spoke with Mrs. Blythe a while back. She said it was some sort of promotional event for the Accord, revealing that the top students of Luminary Accord turned out to

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

Wishes and condolences, coupled with get well gifts had come rushing in no less than a day later. The first person who had sent even though he had been with her for half of the time, was Gadreel.His present, a bouquet of white roses, chocolates and a condolences card. It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but it still managed to make Ivory frown.That frown however, wasn’t because she hated the gift, but rather, because she found herself smiling subtly at the gift, appreciating it.Ah, that was a behavior she didn’t want to even start exhibiting.The second person, or rather people, who had sent their gifts, was Emma and Cameron. Each a bouquet of followers and cards that told her to call anytime she needed them.The last, was from Gabriella. Ever the sweet woman she is, she had put together a bouquet of handpicked blue forget-me-nots.But despite the gifts she had received and how nice her house was now smelling thanks to them, Ivory couldn’t help but feel like something was odd a
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 156 His Funeral
The first two days, following the reading of her father's will, had passed peacefully.There had been no issues and everything had gone by without a hitch. However, today, wasn't going to be as peaceful.After two whole days of sorting things out, it was finally time for her father's Funeral.And with a sigh, Ivory stood in front of the mirror, a frown on her face. She was dressed all in black, and the only accessories on her body, was the necklace Lucien had given her and a ring she managed to fish out from her jewelry set."Are you ready?"Turning around, she faced Gadreel, who stood, leaning against the doorframe. He was dressed in a dark suit and his hair was neatly combed, falling to the side of his forehead.He looked presentable, handsomely so, and if not for the occasion at hand, Ivory would have allowed herself to take in his entire feature, before then proceeding to scold herself.But, not now. Not only was the time not right, Gadreel had also been of massive help to her. He
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 155 Way Down We Go!
After everyone has left the Remington Manor, leaving Samantha alone, she sat on the couch, and glared daggers at the wall in front of her.Her anger had not subsided, and if anything, was only growing.How was it that Ivory had managed to get her hand on the majority of Lionel’s property. The bastard had left her with nothing but a house, a few cars and cash that was sure to finish in a couple of years, with her type of lifestyle.She deserved more. She was his wife. She had spent so many years with him, loved him. Why would he leave her with so little, and give that useless daughter of his everything?!Samantha’s mind was filled with rage and hatred. But then, suddenly, the image of the lady back at the hospital, flashed in her mind, and a new, even worse thought, entered her mind.It was the perfect way to solve this problem, without even getting her hand dirty.Picking up her phone, she fetched the card she had been given and called the number there. It rang once, twice and on the
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 154 The Reading Of His Will
A quick shower, a quick meal, that was forced by her ex husband, and an hour drive later, Ivory was seated beside Gadreel, in the living room of the Remington Manor, where Samantha who did not hesitate to throw glares at gee every minute and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers was seated across them, holding a folder in his hands.Evangeline wasn’t present, but Ivory could really care less.“Thank you for coming, Ms. Remington.” He began, offering her a polite smile. “Might I say, again, that I am very sorry for your loss."“Skip the formalities, and read the will.” Ivory responded, sounding cold and uninterested. If one looked at her as she was dressed, they’d think she cared not about the death of her father, but Gadreel could testify against that, after all, he had been the one comforting her for nearly half a day.“Alright, if you insist.” Clearing his throat, the man, Cole West, as he had introduced himself before on the phone, opened the file and retrieved a document.“In m
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 153 The First Wave Of Grief
With her room being just as quiet as her mind, the first heavy wave of grief had hit Ivory some time around 2 in the early morning and she had felt her eyes burn with tears.She did not cry, but simply let the emotions consume her. Seating on the couch in her balcony, with a blanket wrapped around her to fight off the cold of approaching winter and her legs tucked close to her chest, Ivory stared, blankly, at the darkness that was outside.How was she supposed to handle this?She couldn’t bring her father back, no matter how much she wished it, but, she didn’t know how she was supposed to move on.How did people do it? How did she survive after her mother’s death?Ah, that’s right, she had her father. Then, he still showed some semblance of affection to her. But now, he took was gone and there was no one to offer her that same affection and warmth, and the thought, hurt, a lot, till the point that she began regretting her decision to find the truth of her mother’s death.Because witho

Samantha was not someone who had the ability to cry a lot. In fact, she barely cried at all.However, with the death of her husband, Samantha could not help the tears that had streamed down her face.For a few seconds, she had not believed that Lionel was dead. She had refused to believe that he had gone and passed on. But when she walked into the hospital’s morgue and saw Lionel lying lifeless on the examination table, the reality that crashed down on her caused her to crumble to the floor.“Oh, darling, my poor, dear, darling.” She sobbed, walking forward and grabbing Lionel’s cold hand. “Why did this happen to you. How could this have happened to you?”She didn’t get an answer, and the longer she sat, with her eyes focused on her husband’s pale, and lifeless body, the more the tears continued to stream down her face.“This is all her fault,” She said, her voice trembling. “That stupid girl did this. If only she hadn’t done the surgery, you’d be alive right now, Lionel. You’d still
