After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 21 Ivory Crossed The Line.
Evangeline’s frown quickly turned into a look of surprise and shortly after, the sound of gaps reached Ivory’s ears.She turned to look at everyone, arching an unbothered brow as if she had just spoken the truth.Lionel and several of the maids who were present and had witnessed the encounter, looked at her like she had just vomited abominable words.Whereas, the man of the subject himself, Gadreel, he looked-Oh, the smile on Ivory’s lips twitched a bit, threatening to fall the moment she saw Gadreel’s dark expression.He…he did not look pleased with what she had just said and indeed, he wasn’t.Gadreel wasn’t one to let his expression speak. The most useful advice his father had given him when he had still been alive, was to always keep a poker face and smile in front of his guests, Enemies or allies alike, thus, Gadreel had grown used to controlling his facial expression, keeping it neutral like his father said.But this…this was just too much!Ivory had crossed the line! He had co

Grandma had taken a liking to Ivory just like how Ivory had taken a liking to her. They bonded quickly, but over the past few months, they had barely gotten time to see one another.But now she was sick? And wanted to see them?Ivory’s frown deepened.She really wasn’t a fan of staying in this marriage any longer than necessary, it gave Gadreel power to interfere in certain aspects of her life.But, if Gabriella was ill and wished to see her, then she couldn’t ignore her.Sighing, she relented.“Alright.”At the sound of her voice, Gadreel turned and narrowed his eyes at her. Ivory was avoiding his gaze and said nothing more throughout the remnant of the drive.When they arrived at the family Vila, Ivory immediately went to see Gabriella.“Ivy, my child,” Gabriella, although old, looked youthful. Her skin was white and her hair was gray, but her beauty was undeniable.She smiled brightly at the sight of Ivory. “You look well. I’ve missed you this past few months. Why haven’t you visit

Ivory frowned.“You what?” Drying her hand, she turned to face her phone, flinching ever so slightly when she spotted Gadreel by the kitchen entrance.His gaze was fixed on her phone, dark and piercing, not giving her an idea on just how much he had heard.Then it flickered to her and for a second, Ivory could have sworn her breath seized.She blinked again, then avoided his gaze, paying more attention to her phone than him.“What…what did you say, Em?” She asked, walking towards her phone, scooping it up from the counter and removing it from speaker phone.“I’ve got you five hot bachelors! Ready to mix and mingle at any moment. You up? Please tell me you’re up.”For some reason, she looked at Gadreel. He was watching her, unmoving and unreadable as always.It was such a bore and she couldn’t help but wonder why she had put up with this type of an attitude from him.Well, luckily, she didn’t have to put up with it no more.“Yes, I’ll be there, just send me an address.”“Yess! Alright,

Ivory, although she didn’t look like it, was nervous. Sure, she wasn’t a Mary Sue, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t a fucking Virgin!And this was a sure reaction from every and any Virgin or non virgin at that, who happens to see a half naked Gadreel.His abs, chest and that V-line, were all like a death trap!A tempting death trap!Sure, she had seen them a couple of times while cleaning his body when he was in a coma, but now…now, it was clear that those gym sessions after waking up weren’t for show.They had given him an even more defined and well toned body than the one he had before.A body that she was sure did not belong to a man who didn’t know how to please a lady in bed, much to the dismay of her prior judgement.Ivory frowned and dismissed her thoughts before they roamed too much.She didn’t need those type of thoughts in her mind right now, rather, she was in need of blowing of some serious steam.Reaching for her phone, she texted Emma, letting her know that they should m

The race started off with a bang. Both the cars sped, neck to neck at first until the Arrogant driver took the lead, but Ivory wasn’t about to lose.She had the experience, she knew what she was doing. Besides, this wasn’t her first time.Granted, the driver was skilled. But compared to her, he was an amateur and Ivory planned on showing him just how much.She maneuvered the course, drifting at every turn and avoiding every obstacle, all the while keeping a smile on her lips.She was entertained, unlike her boring daily life so far. Emma could see this, at the same time, she could see her life flashing before her eyes.Ivory had driven fast the first time, but because it was just as warm up and she wasn’t against someone who pushed her to perform better, she had driven slower than the current time.Now, with a competitor, the race had become heated and their opponent passed them for the third time.“Don’t worry,” Almost as if sensing the anxious fear within Emma, Ivory spoke, keeping

However, as soon as that feeling crossed her mind, she dismissed it. Everyone has their own share of stories, and although hers wasn’t pleasant, she could handle it and move on, rather than comparing it with others and wishing things were different.“Ah, you can drop me off here, Ivy,” Emma spoke, interrupting Ivory’s train of thoughts.They had reached the front of the house.“Are you sure, I can just-““No need,” Emma said, shaking her head. “I’ll walk. My place is close by.”Ivory nodded.“Thanks, for tonight.” She said and Emma smiled.“Anytime.”They hugged, then Emma stepped out. Ivory waved her goodbye and once she was out of sight, the driver asked.“Where to Miss?”Ivory hesitated. She wanted at this very moment to come down and go with Emma or find a suitable hotel around to rent, but couldn’t as she had promised Gabriella that she’d be spending the night and accompany her for breakfast the following day.A stupid decision, now that she thought about it. But could she really

Gadreel’s lip were hot and soft against her own, ravaging and claiming her lips with a hunger Ivory never knew existed.Before said hunger could consume her, Ivory violently shoved Gadreel away by his chest and glared at him.“What the hell is wrong with you?” She demanded. “Are you crazy, what makes you think you can do this?”“I am your husband,” Gadreel took a step forward, having a defensive edge to his demeanor. “Its my right to do this! If you can fool around with other men, why not me?”She…fool around with other men?Ivory scoffed. At this point she didn’t even have the strength to explain or debunk Gadreel useless notions. He had lost the right to that privilege.“Your delusional.” She said. “And if you think I’m gonna explain myself to you, then you better get yourself checked into a mental asylum because last I checked,” She kept her gaze focused on his face while two of her fingers tapped her wrist. “We’re less than twenty four hours away from being divorced. I don’t owe y

The following day, despite what has happened the night before, Gadreel woke up to an empty bedside.The pillow, the sheet, the whole mattress were empty and cold, suggesting that the occupant had left quite a while ago.Gadreel found that this outcome immediately soured his mood. He frowned, but made no effort whatsoever to get up from the bed and chase after her.Rather, his mind replayed what had happened the previous mind. All the details were fresh, enticing and almost unbelievable. But amongst them all, one key detail stuck to the front of Gadreel’s mind, and that detail being the fact that Ivory had been a Virgin.He had seen her bleed yesterday and felt the tightness that only a Virgin was said to give.And despite knowing this, he has been a bit rough and…impulsive, I dear say.Massaging his temple, he sighed. Perhaps he needed to…apologize for those two things.He glanced at the side of the bed again and finally stood up. Silently, he looked around, wondering where she was. S

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,
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
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 167 Keeping Her Captive
“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
