“Wow Ivy,” Emma gushed, looking at the dress she had adorned for the auction event. “You look stunning.”“You think so?” Ivory inquired, standing in front of the mirror and taking in her reflection.For the auction, she had chosen to wear something subtle, not too shouting, at the same time, enough to leave an impression and draw the attention of those she wanted.It was a sleeveless black jumpsuit that had a deep V-neck, exposing just enough skin to be considered classy. Her hair, safe for a few strands of baby hair that defined the edges of her face, was tied up in a messy bun, and a black ribbon wrapped around the base.To finish her look, a pair of diamond earrings and a bracelet completed the outfit.“Ivy, I can’t even recognize you anymore.” Emma exclaimed, taking in the beauty that was her friend. “You look stunning, gorgeous, elegant, all these words are just not enough and I’m sure those bastards are going to be drooling.”Ivory chuckled at this. Just then, she got a text mes

“I heard Mr. Ødegaar just got a divorce, but from the looks of it, he looks like a happy man. Seems his heart truly laid with her.” Someone said.“Ah, I envy Evangeline, but I also know she’s the perfect fit for Mr. Ødegaar. An A-lister actress and the city’s top billionaire. What a perfect fit!” Another squealed.“I’m sure they’re together, after all, Mr. Ødegaar has never brought anyone to these types of events. Not even his so called ex wife. If I were her, I would be ashamed.” Added another.This one has caught Gadreel’s attention and although his expression remained neutral, the corners of his eyes twitched.Ashamed? Those words seemed to bother him for some reason as Ivory’s face- against his will- flashed in his mind.Evangeline however, was the least but bothered. The more she listened to them, the more Evangeline knew her worth in Gadreel’s life.And she could have carried on listening and feeling this way, if not for the sudden shift in top.“Huh, who’s she?” Someone asked a

"...oh yes, harder Reel, please fuck me harder!"Ivory watching a Cell phone video, that shows her husband having sex with another woman, who shamelessly calls out her husband's name.The woman's wanton moans further fueled the man's masculine ambition as a man. He thrust into her more forcefully, the entire hall filled with the wet slapping of skin and shameless groans.Ivory bit her lip, her fingers trembling. She didn't expect this betrayal, at least not for the night of their fifth anniversary and her birthday.when Gadreel was in a vegetative state, she had fought so hard to take him back from Death, yet this was how he chose to repay her.Suddenly, a provocative text message popped up, like another slap to her face."Do you like the birthday gift I sent you, dear sis?" Ivory didn't need a second to recognize it was from her stepsister, Evangeline Remington. She could almost picture her smug expression."See? Just tick my finger and he'll run back to me. Don't think your cheap ca

Gadreel halted mid-step and turned around, eyes narrowing dangerously at her petite form.“Excuse me?” He said, his voice a dangerous low.But Ivory had no intention of backing down.“Let’s get a divorce,” she repeated, her eyes unflinching from his.At this, Gadreel stared at her for a few seconds before he scoffed lowly. “Is this your attempt to get back at me?”His eyes gravitated towards the ‘wasted’ food, then back to his wife.“Because what? I didn’t spend your birthday with you? Or is it the anniversary?"His voice held little- no, it held zero remorse and the sound of it caused Ivory’s heart to clench all the more, aching painfully in her chest and bringing tears to sting the back of her eyes.But she blinked them back, keeping herself composure. “Get back at you? I think it's setting you free, isn't it?”His eyes turned dark in a dangerous way. She swallowed and continued: “Evangeline has returned to Paris, hasn’t she? Now is there really any need to drag out this…farce any l

In a matter of seconds, Gadreel’s expression, once mixed with brief confusion, turned cold, entirely and he was left speechless.A divorce agreement? Ivory dared to go through with her bite-less barks, rather than apologizing?!His hold around the paper tightened and his eyes darkened.She was really going to lengths, kicking up a fuss over petty nothing.“Sir,” Ezekiel’s voice interrupted his thought at that moment. Tentatively, the secretary stepped closer, holding out a smaller envelope. “She…she also left this for you.”He couldn't help but stutter after sensing the cloud of displeasure that hung around his boss.Gadreel had always been an intimidating figure, be it in the business industry or personal life. And at this moment, he looked the most displeased, Ezekiel had ever seen him.Like a storm waiting to break out.But Gadreel, seemingly noticing that this little act of Ivory was riling him up- perhaps like she wanted- quickly composed himself and reached for the envelope.How

With a few hours spent at the boutique and salon, Ivory looked like a totally different person.Her hair, once dull, was now a flaming red with golden streaks running through the ends. Her nails were freshly done and so were her feet. The outfit, a red skin-fitting dress, complimented her figure and was enough to catch the eye of anyone walking past.She looked the best she had done in years and as she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel stupid.So many years, she had wasted on Gadreel, hoping and praying her mightiest that he would some day come to love her.A dream which was far from reality and a reality, she was going to accept today, for the better."Well, what do you think?" Emma, who had been standing behind her, asked."I feel," Ivory started, then turned to her friend and finished with a genuine smile. "Like me."Emma smiled as well. "Great," She paused. "Now, are you ready to go party, have fun and finally celebrate you being free of that assho

Despite her initial reluctant, Ivory was having the best time of her life, so far, at the club."Fun, isn't it?" Emma asked as they sipped on their drinks and vibe to the jam of Opal Heights.Ivory nodded her head. "It is." Her expression fell a bit. "I can't believe I gave this up for..." She didn't allow his name leave her lips.It was now considered a forbidden name. A name belonging to the man who had caused her so much pain, caused her to sacrifice so much, yet, felt zero remorse for his actions.Although painful, Ivory was now sure that getting a divorce had been the right decision.Sensing the cloud of sadness that was beginning to gather above her friends head, Emma quickly spoke up."Enough seating and drinking," She collected the drinks and placed them one side on the table. "It's time to go out there and mingle and best of all," She raised her hand and called over a host. "It's time to get those men."Ivory laughed softly and Emma took that as her green light to go ahead."

The slap had stunned everyone present, Gadreel included. Soon, the murmurs, laughs and whispers that filled the small group had died down, leaving everyone to stare in awe and confusion.Had Ivory, the very same Ivory Remington that they knew, just raised her hand and hit Evangeline?That was almost too impossible to believe, after all, the woman they all knew and mocked, was too much of a coward to fight back.And yet, as they watched her, their eyes fell on the angry look on her face and her red hand which still held the position it was in after delivering a harsh slap.It was clear, from her expression, and from the way her chest rose and fell with heavy breaths, that she was pissed.This left the crowd speechless and for the first time, they all exchanged glances, silently questioning if Evangeline had crossed a line.Something they had never done before.“You…slapped me?” Evangeline, much like everyone present, couldn’t make heads of what had just happened.It had all happened so

Ivory nearly snatched the tablet from Camilla’s hands. With a single glance at the content, it was clear that Ødexa had indeed intercepted their recent collaboration.Although the deal hasn’t been finalized, it was clear from the picture of a representative of Heinrich Cooperation and one of Ødexa, shaking hands, that Heinrich Cooperation was considering partnering with Ødexa.And she knew this was Gadreel’s doing. But why, she couldn’t place her mind on.Was this just another business move of his? Or was this a payback for the fact that she had refused the acquisition? Or…was it because he had discovered her identity?Her dream flashed in her mind once again and Ivory felt a sense of paranoia begin to creep up.She was brought out of her thoughts by Camilla.“Boss, what should we do?”Ivory shook her head and sighed. “I’ll handle this,” She muttered and handed the tablet back. “Go on and carry out the rest of your tasks. I’ll inform you once the situation has been resolved."“Yes, bo
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 39 A Nightmare Comes True.
The surgery had taken more of a toll on Ivory than she had expected. Coupled with the event that has happened earlier, she was exhausted.The moment she got back home, she sank into the comfort of her bed, not bothering to take a well needed shower, and was asleep in an instant.The moment she closed her eyes, she opened them to find herself in a place she never thought her mind would bring her back to.The Garden in her very first family house. In front of her was a younger version of herself, crying after she had fallen down and scrapped her knee and in front of that younger version, trying to comfort her, was a young version of Gadreel.‘Ah, I remember this day.’ Ivory thought with a frown, yet her eyes softened as she watched the memory play out.It had been a little while after she and Gadreel had become friends. His mother has come over to visit hers and while the adults talked, Ivory and Gadreel went to play in the Garden.The happened to encounter a cat and she tried chasing a

The surgery lasted a total of 5 hours, but at last, the affected Valves in Evangeline’s heart had been repaired and her condition stabilized.Looking down at her first successful surgery in years, Ivory knew she should have felt pride and joy, but at this moment, the only thing she felt was a tinge of regret.Perhaps she should have left Evangeline to die. All the pain and suffering she had been through in life was all because of Evangeline.Then, wouldn’t that mean that if she had died, everything would have gone back to the way it has been before she and her mother came along?No, Ivory shook the thought off. Nothing can ever be the same, even if Evangeline were to die.“Good Job, V.” Kael, clasping her shoulder, praised.Ivory offered him a half hearted and tired smile. “Yeah, you too.” She glanced back at Evangeline for a few seconds before speaking again. “I’m gonna head out now…”Kael nodded. “Sure, you go on ahead, I’ll reach out to you once everything’s wrapped up here.”Ivory

Gadreel frowned at the doctor’s words. Taking a step forward, he seemed to totally forget about the conversation he was having with Ivory.“What do you mean by that? Earlier, you said she was stable, so why is she suddenly in danger?” He questioned.“Ms. Remington was indeed stable, but her heart suffered a sudden attack and for someone who suffers from a heart condition like Coronary Artery Disease, this could be fatal. That’s why I urge, the sooner we operate on her, the better.”Coronary Artery Disease? Ivory couldn’t help but frown at the doctor’s diagnosis.Evangeline doesn’t suffer from CAD, as most call it, but rather...“What she suffers from is Ischemic Heart Disease, IHD. It’s easily mistaken for CAD, but unlike CAD, it’s not caused by the build-up of plaque, but a sudden shortage of blood flow, due to an occluded vessel or narrowing.” Her words gained the attention of both men.“The best course of action in this case would be to-“ Before she could finish her diagnosis, Ivor

Ivory was rooted in place with her eyes wide.That…that unmistakably, was the sound of a gunshot. Did that mean someone had gotten shot?The thought sent a sick feeling down her spine.“Ivy,” Cameron suddenly tugged her along, pulling her out of her trance like state. “We need to get out of here.”He pulled her behind him and began leading her away from their current location in hopes that he could get them far away from whoever had the gun.Ivory on the other hand, although she knew this was the rational thing to do, couldn’t help her doctor side that kicked in.“Wait,” She said, pulling to a stop and earning a frown from Cameron. “We can’t just leave like this. What if…what if someone needs our help?”Cameron’s frown increased and he grabbed her hand again. “If we don’t stay out of the way, we would be the ones in need of help.”He began dragging her away, but Ivory resisted, not budging an inch.“You can’t possibly be serious.” He muttered and shook his head. After a few seconds of

“Let me take you home.” Cameron has said and at that point in time, it both sounded and looked like a bad idea.But did Ivory really have an option?With her car broken down and all ride seemingly avoiding that area, or charging hefty sums, she was stuck.And so, after much debate, she finally caved in and accepted the ride, and that was how she ended up in the passenger seat of Cameron’s car.The ride had been going on smoothly, the silence between them comfortable in a way that no one rushed to break.But then, Cameron, being who he is, decided to speak up.“So, you were married to Gadreel?” He glanced at her, noticing how her temperament visibly changed at the mention of his best friend. “I’m still having a hard time believing it.”“Well, believe it,” Ivory responded, a hint of sarcasm in her voice. “And drop it.”Cameron chuckled, but did not say a thing further, simply turning his attention back to the road, while Ivory shifted in her seat, crossing her legs, and looking out the

Asher could sense the tension in the air. Minutes after Ivory had walked out and Cameron had followed her, the rest of them, Evangeline and Gadreel included, had settled in one of Golden Hours private room.But even after the drinks had been served, not one word had been spoken. Gadreel looked lost in his own thought, while Evangeline looked like she had several things to ask.And Asher...well, after a few more minutes, he couldn't take it anymore.Sighing, he stood up and decided to give the little couple of their group, some space."I'll go grab... something." He excused himself and without a second glance, walked out.The silence after that did not last a second longer. Finally given their privacy, Evangeline spoke up."You've finalized the divorce with Ivory? Why didn't you tell me?" She turned her attention to Gadreel, expecting an instant answer.However, he kept his gaze fixed on the content in his glass, swirling it around in constant circles without saying a word.He heard Ev
