“Lucien?” Ivory called, not bothered to hide the surprise, as she watched him approach. “What…how are you here?”“I heard what happened,” He stopped a few feet from where they sat at the end of the dock.For a little while, his eyes went on Gadreel’s direction and lingered before he flashed him a smile.“Mr. Ødegaar, I heard what happened to you…I’m pleased to see you’re getting better.”His words and smile, both of them weren’t genuine: Gadreel could tell, but for now, he choose to keep quiet.To observe.“I know it’s extremely rude of me to interrupt, but I need to take Ivory away for a little while.”Ivory frowned. “What? Why?” She didn’t mean to sound rude, or make it sound as if she were enjoying Gadreel’s presence.She simply just wanted to know why Lucien would show up out of the blues an

Gadreel had fallen asleep as soon as Evangeline dropped him off. However, she stayed back for a little while, watching as he slept with a frown on her face.Things weren’t going the way she wanted. Be it family or love life, things were spiraling out of control, and she needed to fix that.Standing up, she fetched a glass of water and mixed the Neurovex into it.“Don’t worry, Reel, I’m only doing this for the benefit of all.” Muttering underneath her breath, she placed the water on his night stand beside him and also left a note.As much as she’d love to stay back and watch his rest and even be by his side when he wakes up, she had family problems to attend to.Her love life with Gadreel won’t sail smoothly if she had problems with her family life.After placing a kiss on his cheek, she took her leave and shortly after, arrived at the hospital.She met her mother in the lobby, discussing somet

Even though she had driven back to Gadreel’s place immediately her mother had sent her off, Evangeline didn’t get out of her car.She remained seated, chewing bitterly at the tip of her fingernails.She couldn’t believe her mother had the audacity to hit her. Never in her life had she been hit and now this…this was what she had been reduced to?Her mother had dared slap her, and in public nonetheless.Her anger and resentment towards the woman spiked ever so slightly as she replayed the events in her head.It was now clear to her that her mother didn’t have her best interest in heart. She had become so blinded by that useless love for Lionel that she no longer cared for her own daughter.She didn’t care about her future, about the happiness and well-being of her family. All that mattered to her was Lionel and her position as Madam Remington.“Well,” Evangeline hissed as she pulled out h

It had all happened so quickly. One second they were strolling through the park, enjoying their evening together and the next, the two were surrounded by a bunch of hooded robbers.Gadreel remembered thinking that he could handle them all, protect Evangeline and make sure nothing happened to her, but he had failed.And the price he had to pay for failing her, was a grave one.As soon as the ambulance arrived and the police was notified, Evangeline was rushed off and Gadreel quickly followed along, wanting nothing more than to see her and make sure that she was fine.She had been stabbed, yes, but thankfully, the wound wasn’t fatal but even at that, he needed to make sure that she was alright.That was his job, to keep her safe, and yet, he had failed.And now, here he was, standing outside the ER, his hands balled into tight fists as be waited for any news.It was nerve racking, till the point that his head began to throb.

The last thing Evangeline remembered before all had gone black was Gadreel running towards her, the sound of his voice and the feeling of his hand wrapped around her.However, the next time she came to, the sound of hospital machines beeping, blinding ceiling lights and the pungent smell of disinfectant, was the first thing that greeted her.She blinked several times, allowing her eyes to adjust to the lighting before her gaze swept around the room.“Reel,” She called, her throat dry and voice hoarse, and when her eyes fell on his sleeping form, she smiled a little.He cared so much about her that he stayed while she was unconscious, fitting himself into the couch that looked far too uncomfortable for him.If that wasn’t true love, then Evangeline wasn’t sure what would be.Taking another quick look around the room, she assessed the situation. Although she had gotten wounded, she felt fine and well and in the end, it looked like things had turned out to be in her favor.With that thou

Although she had talked big about never contacting him again, Evangeline found herself, several days later, calling him for any dose of the Essence of Oblivion.She chewed nervously on her finger while waiting for the line to pick up, and when it finally did, a male’s voice came through the speaker.“I see you’ve come crawling back. How may I help you, Ms. Remington?”Evangeline felt those words alone, bruise her pride, but the ache in her chest mattered more than the hit her ego had taken.“You know damn well what I’m calling for.” She hissed and the other end of the line was quiet.“Are you certain?” He asked, but the amusement in his tone was clear.“Shut the fuck up,” Evangeline seethed, the urge to slam the phone on the ground, strong. “Just get me the fucking drug. Do you think I’ll call your ass just for fun?”“My, my, how vulgar. Fortunately for you, I’m willing to overlook that mouth of yours. Unfortunately for you, the Essence Of Oblivion no longer comes free to you. With th

Since her visit to the orphanage had been cut short, Ivory decided the next best place to go to, would be the hospital.However, that sentiment seemed to change the moment she arrived there and was blocked by none other than Samantha, her lovely stepmother.Sense the sarcasm there?“What are you doing here?” What a lovely first question to ask.“Is it a crime to visit my own father?” Ivory shot back and was about to pass her, when the woman blocked her path.“I don’t remember giving you permission to come here.” She seethed.“Permission?” Ivory nearly found her words funny and if not for the fact that they were in a hospital, she would have busted out laughing.Who exactly did this woman think she is?“Last I checked, I don’t need your permission. Or,” Stepping closer, she smiled subtly. “Has the years of my father pampering you, messed with that head of yours and made you believe that you are my mother in some way?”Immediately, Samantha went red in the face. “You-“ She began, but th

The following morning, Ivory woke up to three things, all of which were annoying in their own way.First, her phone was blowing up with messages and notifications, which were coming in nonstop.Secondly, there was an ache in her head. One so strong, that it was almost unbearable.And thirdly, was insistent sound of her door bell.Grumbling, she pushed herself into a sitting position and slowly, her eyes opened.The brightness of her room blinded her for a few seconds, causing her to hiss.With a hand covering her eyes, she got off the bed and headed towards the front door, wanting to see who it was that dared to disturb her this early in the morning, after the shitty day she had experienced yesterday.“Coming,” She called out, her voice hoarse and a tad bit raspy, and she wondered if she had overdone her drinking session.Reaching the front door, she yanked it open, ready to curse whoever it was that dared to disturb her, only to find, the very last person she would have expected to s

The quietness in the car settled quickly. Or perhaps, that was what Ivory thought it was. In reality, Gadreel had been saying words.His lips moved, he threw occasional glances at her, but Ivory far too deep in her own head to respond.“Ivory, did you hear me?”At the mention of her name, Ivory blinked, slowly and turned her head towards the source of the voice.Gadreel. She realized and slowly, she nodded her head. “Yes,” She replied, softly, almost weak. “You asked, if I’m okay.”“And, are you?” His voice was probing. There was a soft encouragement behind it, ensuring her that if she needed to speak or pour her heart out, he was here, willing and ready to listen.Ivory took a second longer to answer this time around. Was she okay? She really didn’t know how she felt. She had feelings roaming her chest, clashing against each other and the prominent urge to scream, was ever so present.Yet, all of those things made her feel numb. Like it was all too much, the betrayal, disgust, disapp
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 179 The Horror That Would Haunt Her
The dread- thick and crippling to its core, settled upon Ivory like a thick impenetrable veil, as she realized the error she had just committed.She had messed up.The reality, a cruel reminded that she had thrown away her final chance at get out of this whole ordeal, was like a hard pill to swallow.Breath hitching, her thoughts quickly spiraled down a self deprecating path, a path where she wondered if this was all part of some divine punishment.Had she angered the gods, the heavens, or maybe, the universe itself?Because no matter how much she wanted, she could never catch a break.The universe was hellbent on keeping her in a loop of never ending pain and sorrow. Otherwise, one couldn’t explain to her, after how, only just losing her father, she ends up in a situation like this and when freedom seems on the tip of her finger, she had easily thrown it away in a fit of fear and adrenaline fuel trembles.Fucking hell, she cursed internally, eyes darting towards Lucien’s still uncons

Ivory dashed for the door with her full speed, but, Lucien had predicted her moves. In no time, he was in front of her, and she was thrown onto the couch, her breath escaping her momentarily.“Ivory,” He called, but she quickly kicked him, aiming for his crotch, but he had seen it coming and easily avoided it, his hand grabbing her leg and throwing it away.“Don’t misbehave.” He warned, pinning her down to the couch, but she continued to struggle, kicking and thrashing until her finally grabbed her hands and pinned them down above her head, his face close to hers.“Behave, or I swear to God, I’ll really kill him.” This threat, unlike his previous ones, carried a lot of weight, and it had caused Ivory to freeze.Her eyes were wide and her breaths were harsh, as her heart continued to race. She had come to know, in the past few days, that Lucien was a crazy person, he had made a few threats, done things that shook her and ultimately said things that made her realize how stupid she was f
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 177 Her Chance At Escape
“Mr. Ødegaar?”Gadreel was in the middle of watching his tracking software load the last location of Ivory’s phone, something he particularly wouldn’t have done under normal circumstances, but with the way things were looking like and the sinking feeling in his stomach, he was more than ready to do something like this to make sure Ivory was okay.That was, until the sudden appearance of his assistant, broke through his thoughts and the insistent tapping of his index finger against the table.Followed by a knock, Ezekiel had walked into his office, carrying with him, a box that Gadreel dimmed ugly, the very second he laid his eyes on it.“What is it?” He asked and looked down at the box. “And what is that?”“I’m just as confused, Sir. A garbage man stopped by and insisted that this belonged to you. A letter was left for you, he said.” Ezekiel explained, placing the box on the table and carefully sliding it to his boss when he had gotten close enough.After a few seconds of staring at t
After Divorce, I Return As CEO Chapter 176 Her Escape Plan
Looking at his phone, Gadreel frowned. The call earlier, had it been a fluke?Was he meant to feel better now that she had called him?But, why did she call him and then hang up immediately? And the messages he sent, why hasn’t he responded to them?Sighing, Gadreel massaged his pained Temple. He could feel that migraine coming on, and if there was one thing he didn’t need right now, was a migraine.Pushing those thoughts to the back of his mind, he walked towards his desk, his fingers typing in the password and logging into his laptop.Something really wasn’t adding up and he was going to get down to the bottom of it.~•~Four hours after the whole ordeal that had happened, Ivory stepped out of her room. She was in a new dress, but, despite that, her mind was still stuck on the previous incident.As a matter of fact, her entire being was.Even though he didn’t actually do anything, she was still shaken, and the fact that the door was locked and she was unable to leave, was making it
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,

“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
