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

The hospital machine had flat lined. All around, nurses and assisting doctors moved around, gathering the equipment of their failed operation.On the table, the unconscious body of Lionel Remington laid, lifeless, something, his very daughter, Ivory had never expected to see.She hated him, despised him even, but, never had she wanted him to die. He was her father, the man she loved, looked up to and idolized when things had been sunny side up.She wanted him punished for the wrong he did, but never had she considered what her life would have been if he was gone, because that was never in the equation.But now, seeing his lifeless body on the bed, she could easily feel her heart shaking, beating hard and loud in her chest. Her ear had been ringing for the better part of the since the doctor had announced Lionel dead.The back of her eyes burned with tears, but the shock was too much, and she couldn’t bring herself to cry.All she could do was stare, while her brain worked a mile a min

Ivory’s perfect description of a place that is quiet, serene, calm and perfect to think, had surprisingly turned out to be the empty dock front, that Gadreel had taken her to a while back.It was a far cry from her original definition of perfection, the four walls of her bedroom, but, the moment she saw the water, the gentle sway of the waves, and the calm and peaceful atmosphere, her mind was immediately drawn to it.Sitting on the edge, her legs dangling off, she sighed, heavily, before, looking down, and watching her feet move, up and down, almost like the water, below her.Her head hurt, her stomach was doing summersaults and the feeling, was slowly creeping up her throat.It had only been an hour or so, since the incident had happened, and Ivory had left the hospital, but it was already causing so many different feelings in her heart.It was the first time she had ever failed a surgery, not even during her training days, had she ever allowed herself to make a mistake, and that wa

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

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

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

“…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,
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 173 He Had To Act Fast
“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
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 171 As Mad As A Hatter
At around 8PM, a text message had entered Ivory’s phone. The device, placed beside the papers on Lucien’s table, vibrated, drawing his attention from the pile of work he was attending to.At first, he ignored it, knowing it wasn’t anyone important, but then, the phone had buzzed yet again, indicating that the same person, had tried to call, but failed.The frown on his face had deepened, before, with a sigh, he pushed away from his desk, his chair rolling back a few inches, before he stood up and approached the desk.He grabbed the phone and unlocked it. Seeing as he considered himself so close to Ivory, that he could easily guess her password, he easily opened the text and read the message.[Is everything okay? I’ve been trying to reach you all afternoon. Getting awfully worried.]The simple text, was from none other than Gadreel.Lucien’s expression hardened, and the frown on his face intensified.He couldn’t believe this bastard.He was getting worried.Ha! Was this his way of tryi
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
