“Please Ivory, you have to come help him!”Upon hearing Gabriella’s words, a frown marred her expression.Ill? But Gadreel had been fine just three days ago, he couldn’t have gotten so sick in such a short amount of time, right?So what was happening?Rather than thinking any further, Ivory found herself standing up and getting ready to leave.“Grandmother, I’ll be there soon, just hold on.”“Thank you so much, Child,” Gabriella sounded relieved. “Please hurry.”“I will.”With that, she ended the call and turned to Declan who had been watching her.“I apologize, but I have to take my leave.” She informed.Declan nodded in understanding, but still asked. “Your grandmother? Are you close with your father’s mother?”Ivory shook her head. “No, I’m not. Gabriella, she’s…” She paused, obviously not about to tell a total stranger about the history of her failed marriage.Instead, she opted to say. “She’s as close as any family could be.”“I understand.” Declan said as he stood. “You seem to

No matter how Ivory looked at it, she just couldn’t bring herself to wrap her head around Gadreel’s condition.It was unlike anything she had ever seen.A tinge of helplessness washed over her at this realization and she bit her lower lip.Unlike the last time when Gadreel had been in a coma, this time, it looked like she couldn’t help him… however, despite all that had happened between them, she didn’t feel like giving up.As her thoughts spiraled, the door to the hospital ward opened and Evangeline, after nearly an hour of being gone, walked back into the room, being accompanied by another doctor, an unfamiliar face.Ivory stood at guard. “And you are?”“He’s a doctor that can help.” Evangeline sounded proud. She even glanced in Gabriella’s direction, wanting to see a look of approval, but got a blank stare.Ungrateful old bitch, she thought, but still managed a smile.“Hello, my name is doctor Marsh, I’ve been informed of Mr. Ødegaar’s condition and I’ve looked at his medical chat

Shortly after he had woken up, Gabriella had returned into the room. She was more than relieved and delighted when she saw her grandson awake.The first twenty minutes were spent fawning over him, and another ten was spent lecturing him about how he should care more about his safety.Then, when she was satisfied, Gabriella had called for the doctors to check his vitals, and after making sure everything was fine, she sat down to cut some fruits for him.“I’m truly glad you’re awake,” She started and much to Evangeline’s surprise, gave her a fruit and knife, inviting her to join the process.With a smile on her lips, she happily accepted, seeing this as a sign that Gabriella might finally be accepting her.“Surprisingly, this little lady over here helped. She brought the doctor that was able to administer the medication and save your life.”Gadreel looked at Evangeline and that soft, loving smile that she was used to seeing, adorned his lips.“Thank you, Eva.”Her cheeks burned red and

After successfully convincing the people of Elixiron's innocence, Ivory went back to the company and handled a few matters. She released the apology and statement and had a meeting with the new set of shareholders Camilla had employed, after which she tried to reach across to the assistant, much to her dismay, her call was forwarded.This caused her to worry, ever so slightly. But as much as she wanted to, she knew with the way things were at hand, she needed to focus on Elixiron.Thus, after putting Carlos up with the task of getting across to her, she went back to work, engrossing herself in tasks until the end of the day.By the time she had decided to clock out, Ivory was more exhausted than usual.She sat in her car with a sigh.Today had turned out to be more stressful than other work days, and although she knew this was just the start of a series of more problems that were potentially to come, she couldn't help the relief that washed over her upon recalling how she had handled

“Can I come in?”Ivory, to say the least, was surprised to see Lucien. Last she heard, he had gone on a business trip, so…“Y-yeah…” Snapping out of her thoughts, she stepped aside, giving way for Lucien to step in, before closing the door behind her.“So, what brings you here?”Lucien turned around and faced her, his hands stuffed in his pockets. He studied her for a few seconds, and the silence that hung between them was enough to make Ivory feel awkward and uncomfortable.But none the less, she forced a smile, a rather fake one, but one nonetheless.“Um, is there something wrong, Lucien? You’ve been staring at me for a while now.”“Nothing.” He replied and approached her.Ivory stood frozen on the spot, watching him as he got closer.“I just wanted to… apologize to you. I saw everything that happened on the news today. I’m sorry I wasn’t there to help you.”“Ah,” She muttered, finding it hard to hide the tinge of relief in her voice as she shook her head. “No, it’s fine. I’m capabl

“Alright.”The simple word was all it took to make Lucien’s heart skip a beat. And as much as he wanted to rush in and capture her lips in a kiss, he controlled himself.She was willing to let him, and he didn’t want to ruin the moment.Carefully, his lips descended on hers, and as soon as he had captured her lips, her body tensed.He felt her hesitation, and knew she wasn’t ready for more, but the control he had was slipping.“Ivory,” He whispered, breaking the kiss. His voice sounded rough and husky.He didn’t say anything else, but the emotion in his eyes was clear as day and it sent shivers down Ivory’s spine.Before she could react, he kissed her again, and this time, the gentleness from before was gone, replaced by hunger and eagerness.The previous kiss, Ivory would’ve considered a brotherly one; testing the waters, she would say.But, not this one.Her lips parted as he pressed harder, and when the tip of his tongue brushed against hers, her breath hitched.However, Lucien was

“What are you doing here?” Ivory asked, not even bothering to hide the hostility and annoyance in her voice.She watched as her father, took the seat in front of her and the frown on her face only deepened.Why was he here?Wasn’t she meant to be meeting with Father Declan?Did her…rat her out?Ivory felt her heart clench a bit at the possibility. Although she didn’t know father Declan and didn’t fully trust him, she had at least thought that since they had several common grounds, one of them being the love they shared for her mother and the disapproval he had towards the Remington’s, her supposed family, they could…work together?Well, now she knew that wasn’t the case, after all, if it was, her father wouldn’t be the one sitting in front of her right now.“Were you expecting someone else?” Her father asked, earning a glare from her the moment she was snapped out of her thoughts.Of course she was! And the fact that her father was here, had ruined her plan and the good mood she was i

Ivory stood frozen on the spot, her eyes widening as her chest tightened with each passing second as she watched the in front of her play out.Lionel was lying on the floor, blood sipping out of his head and mouth while the driver who had hit him, made no effort to stay, fleeing the scene like a coward that very second.Ivory, in that very moment, could hear the distant screams and calls of the people, could feel the stares and sense their shock, but everything felt like it was happening at a snail’s pace.But, despite the heaviness in her chest and the shock that coursed through her body, her brain was still functioning, and it took a second to snap her back to reality.Quickly, she rushed over and dropped to her knees beside her father.“Dad,” She called out, taking his head in her lap and examining the wounds dealt.When she saw her was barely breathing, struggling at best, panic shot through her at a rapid pace.“Call an ambulance!” She shouted, and the people who had been watchin

“…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 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
