2025-03-23 13:48:15Ivory felt herself being dragged into a room. Before she could even think to protest, the arm that had been wrapped around her waist, was now holding her mouth shut, preventing her from screaming or speaking up, all the while pressing her to a wall.
“It’s me.”
The familiar voice, along with the familiar smell, told Ivory that her attacker was no stranger. Squinting her eyes, she could vaguely make out the face of the person in front of her, in the not so bright room.
“Gadreel?” She questioned, as soon as the hands covering her mouth.
He nodded and moved a little, allowing the dim light in the room to cast a small ray onto his face. “Yeah.”
Ivory was relieved, but after that, came the confusion. “What…what are you doing? Why would you drag me in here?” She questioned.
“I wanted to talk to you.”
“You could have done that like every normal person.” She s

“Don’t get too full of yourself, Gadreel,” Ivory responded, pushing him back.The man took a few steps, but the smile on his lips didn’t fade. “You’re not denying it and you didn’t stop me either.”Ivory opened her mouth, wanting to tell him that she didn’t feel anything, but the words just wouldn’t come out.It was because she was lying.And Gadreel, being the cunning snake he was, had her right where he wanted her.“Just because there’s a little attraction, doesn’t mean it’s love.” Ivory told him. “I don’t feel anything for you, Gadreel.” She repeated, hoping this time around, she’d believe those words she had said.Yes, if she said it out loud enough times, these feelings that she has held for him, even after he hurt her, they were bound to disappear.“You’re a horrible liar,” Gadreel said, and suddenly, he was on her again. This time, he pinned her wrists above her head, using his knee to keep her legs spread and his face hovering above hers.“Gadreel-““Your eyes say one thing, b

Ivory returned to the event room, and was greeted by the sound of applause. The crowd, including Veronica Blythe, was gathered around the projector, looking at the screen where Ivory's information was displayed.Her face, along with her name and the title of Arnett were displayed, along with the rest. Whispers filled the room from all corners and the moment she thought of the attention she was going to be receiving, Ivory wanted to turn and walk back the way she came, but unfortunately, her actions didn't go unnoticed."Miss. Remington,"She didn't bother turning, recognizing the voice as Veronica Blythe."Would you do us the honor of please coming on stage?"Ah, fuck her life.Sighing, Ivory plastered on a fake smile, and turned to face the older woman. "Of course, Madam Blythe."The crowd went wild when she climbed on, but what they were saying blurred into muffled sounds as Gadreel walked into the room and stood in the middle of the crowd.His stoic mask was back on, but Ivory coul

Gadreel sat in his office, head leaned against the headrest of his chair and eyes closed. In the darkness of his mind, a foreign memory played out.It was that of a kid, Ivory, he knew from her red hair which had been packed into two even pony tails and golden eyes.The young girl was seated at the foot of a bed, watching him, dream him, try to build a castle out of the new set of building blocks his parents had given him.There was a pout on her lips and after a little while, she had gotten up, approached him, and without so much as remorse, kicked the entire castle down, ruining the work he had spent hours on.The feeling was vague, but Gadreel, at that point, recalled being angry, but when the kid Ivory had looked down at him, her pout deepened, and those golden eyes had filled with unshed tears, his anger vanished.All that had remained was confusion and guilt.Why was she about to cry? Was it his fault? Why was she-"Stop playing with those stupid things!" She cried, reaching for

Although she wasn’t particularly pleased with how she had to kneel down and beg, Samantha knew it was for the best.As she walked towards her car, wiping the tears off her cheek, she recalled how, three days ago, the doctor’s had delivered the news of Lionel’s condition, and how he needed another surgery.She had been horrified, scared and devastated. As much as she was angry at Lionel for having cheated on her and even had the audacity to get another woman pregnant when he refused to sleep with her without making her drink contraceptives the following morning, Samantha still loved him.That was part of the reason why she had hit Evangeline when the girl had spoken out of place.She didn’t want Lionel to die, she had prayed day and night and when she saw the reveal of who Arnett was, she felt like the universe was mocking her, at the same time, giving her a solution to her current misfortune and although she wasn’t too pleased to go running to Ivory for help, she knew the girl was the

Breakfast, by the time they were having it, had eventually turned into brunch.Ivory had sat opposite Gadreel, with Emma beside her. At first, she had been rather quiet, focusing mostly on her meal and trying her best to ignore Gadreel’s lingering eyes on her, but the more he and Emma talked, the easier she started to feel around him.“You should have seen Ivory’s face,” Emma said at one point, recounting an event during their college examination days where some geeky male classmate of their had asked Ivory out. “Dude had snort running down his nose and when he walked up to her, he just-“Emma had burst out laughing, the scene in her mind playing over and over again. However, she was the only one who happened to find it funny.Not only did Ivory hate the recollection of her past, especially in front of Gadreel, she was also embarrassed by her younger self.“Shut up, would you.” She had grumbled.“Hey, why are you so grumpy?” Emma asked, wiping the tears in her eyes. “It’s just a memor

As soon as Ivory stepped back inside, she was startled by Gadreel who had, well, easy dropped on the conversation.“You,” She began, glaring at him. “You really don’t have any manner, now do you?”Gadreel didn’t answer, but he was kind enough to offer her a smile. Ah, the usual hot and cold signals from him. At one point, Ivory would think that she can read him, then the very next, he’d become an enigma to her.Why does she still bother humoring his rubbish?“It seems you’ve eaten to your fill,” Ivory said and pointed towards the front door. “Then, take your leave.”Gadreel still remained silent, but when he pushed off the wall, eyes remaining focused on hers, he asked a question that completely caught Ivory off guard.“Are you really engaged to him,” His eyes dropped down to the paper she was carrying before he asked. “Are you?”Ivory moved the paper to her back and answered as snappy as possible. “I don’t think that’s any of your business.”“Is it not?” Gadreel asked, walking toward

Lucien recalled when he had first met Ivory. He had, once again, gotten a perfect score on the Luminary quarterly exam, but, with there being no one to show it to, he was once again, like he had done with his past results, about to burn it.The fire had already consumed the tip, when suddenly, the paper has been snatched from his hand.“Heh, what the hell do you think you’re doing?”The face has first registered, before the voice did. She looked frail, mistreated from the bruises on her cheek and her hair, cheekbone length at that time, looked like it had been cut uneveningly.In short, she looked abandoned, and in some way, that reminded him of himself.“Why would you-“ She was in the middle of scolding him when she had seen his score and her eyes went wide. “Wow, a perfect score.” She breathed out, clearly impressed.It was the first time someone had looked impressed by his performance. His classmate and teachers, even his mother, saw it as a regular duty for him to always have perf

With two whole days of rest, Ivory was ready to perform her second surgery, ever since returning to the medical field and her patient, so happened to be her father.“Ms. Remington,” Doctor Kline greeted, extending a hand in her direction.“Doctor,” Ivory returned the gesture.“I know you are family, but thank you for agreeing to do the surgery.”“Not a problem at all.” Ivory said, waving her hand with a tight smile on her lips. “Could I please see his medical chart?”“Oh, of course.”Handing the document over, the Doctor pointed at the most crucial parts and said, “These are the points where he is at most risk. The internal bleeding has made his heart rather weak and he is prone to sudden cardiac arrest, hence the reason why the surgery needs to be done as soon as possible.”“I see,” Ivory read the entire chart, fighting the frown that threatened to make it’s way to her face. After a little while, she nodded her head, getting the full understanding of the situation and what she needed

After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 170 His Gut Instinct
The broken plate had been cleaned up, a new food served and Lucien, locked away in his office, doing only God knows what, while Ivory paced the living room, her fingers interlocked behind her head.How the fuck was she going to get out of this one?She couldn't just stay here, trapped, waiting for who knows how long, and she definitely couldn't let Lucien do whatever the hell he wanted.But, she was stuck and she didn't have her phone, and there was no way in hell she'd be calling his name, asking him to let her out.So, what was she meant to do?Perhaps, she'd have to wait until he unlocked the doors himself? One of these days, he'd surely want to go out and get something, right?But the problem was, when would that happen? She had no plan of staying here for more than a day, so she'd have to try her best and think of something.A sigh escaped her lips and she stopped pacing, before flopping down on the couch and burying her face in her hands.God, her heart wouldn't calm down.Was i

The moment those words had left Lucien’s mouth, and before he could react, Ivory had marched straight up to him, closing the distance that had previously existed between them, and in seconds, her palm connected with his cheek, a slap that echoed throughout the entire house.His head had snapped to the side, and his cheek had reddened almost immediately.Lucien was silent, and his gaze was cast to the floor.“If you fucking lay a finger on Gadreel again,” Ivory began, her voice laced with so much anger and frustration, that Lucien, who had been silent since her slap, raised his head and turned to look at her, a deep frown, marring his face.“I’ll make sure that I fucking kill you myself.” She threatened.However, she got the opposite result from what she had been hoping.“Now tell me, why I actually, shouldn’t kill him. You’ve given me another reason, V. You’ve only ever raised your hand at me, today and it’s all because of him.”His eyes remained on hers as he spoke, and Ivory, still

Gadreel would be lying if he said that, as he watched the video of a nearby CCTV camera that displayed the outside of his house, showing as Evangeline reached into her bag and pulled out what looked to be the ledger of his company and handed it to a man inside a black car, his heart didn’t break.He already knew she was behind what had happened to his company. He had zeroed his mind that it was her doing. But, to watch it with his own eyes, was something else entirely.This, was the woman he had spent so many years believing he loved, no, he had loved her at one point, the very same woman who was his fiancée.A sigh left his lips and he hung his head, the disappointment, directed more at himself, than anyone else, all evident in his eyes.How had he allowed things get to this stage? How didn’t he see Evangeline’s true colors when it was still early and he could have prevented the mess he was currently in?Perhaps, he was too blindly in love.A bitter laugh escaped his lips as his mind

“No matter what you do, that door won’t open without my say so. So, that means,” Lucien smiled subtly, but all the gesture did, was make cold shivers run down Ivory’s spine. “You’re here with me until I say otherwise.”“Lucien,” She started, keeping her voice as level and stable as possible. “Stop this madness. Open the door, I have to leave-““And go meet that bastard?” He shook his head and Ivory could only stare in disbelief. “As long as that bastard is around, I don’t think I can let you out of here.”Ivory parted her lips to speak, but no words came out. She found this whole situation, no, to be more precise, she found the reason, why Lucien was refusing to let her leave, absurd.He was holding her here, not because he feared she’d report him for his misdeeds as soon as she got out, but rather, because he didn’t want her to meet up with Gadreel.That…that was absurd.“Lucien, this is nonsense.” She spoke, trying her hardest not to raise her voice, to keep the tone calm and levele

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.

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
