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

Evangeline, still in the hospital, was biting her nail, while staring at the television. The news currently playing, was all about Ivory’s action.From there, some people were comparing the two sisters, stating that if one can behave like this, the other one is sure to do the same.News like this was bringing serious damage to her reputation, Evangeline was aware, yet she cared very little about it.Her mind In fact, as she stared at the television, was somewhere else entirely, pondering solely on how she was going to get her hand on Gadreel’s ledger.Her thoughts however, was cut off the moment the door opened and Gabriella walked in.“You’re awake,” Gabriella stated, carrying a basket of fruit and placing it on the table. “How are you feeling?”“Fine grandmother, thank you for asking.” Evangeline answered, the smile on her lips being partially forced and partially true.It was forced in the aspects that her mind was occupied with recent troubles, namely the ledger and it was true in

"...Lovers."The words were said loud and clear and the effect of them, instantaneous.As the crowd, including Ivory, were stunned into silence, Lucien smiled and took advantage of the situation."For those unaware, Ivory and I are lovers. It's true, we kept it a secret from the world, but we can no longer keep this a secret, seeing as the argument that happened between us had resulted in such an ugly scenario."He then looked at Ivory. "My dear, forgive me for being such a bad lover. Please, allow me to make it up to you."With that, he offered her his hand and waited for her to take it.The reporters were all watching and Ivory was completely and utterly speechless.What...what the hell was Lucien playing at here?!She couldn't possibly wrap her head around it...that is, at first, but one look at the crowd and a second glance at Lucien, and she realized what he was trying to do.He was saving her ass, but...was it worth the cost?Looking down at his hand, she hesitated, and before s

As one would expect, Lucien’s sudden announcement had sparked a series of events that were a bit difficult to keep up with.There were rumors, speculations, and of course, news outlets trying their best to confirm the legitimacy of his claim.In other words, a lot had happened.And now, less than two days later, Ivory was being bombarded with calls all over. She had spent nearly two hours on the phone with Emma, trying to explain all about a relationship that didn’t exist to being with.Lucien Varga surely deserved a knock on the head for this little stunt! Ivory had mentally thought as she, at last, got off the only with Emma, only to head towards her front door to answer the persistent ring of her door bell.She had expected the person at the door to be Lucien, and was ready to curse him out, but instead, she was met with two familiar faces.“Kael? Arian?” Surprised, but pleasantly so, she looked between the two beloved boys, who looked equally as pleased to see her.“It’s been ages

If Ivory thought she had received the biggest surprise of the week when Lucien suddenly pulled that stunt of his on her, then this…this, was an even bigger surprise.A summons, a court summons, for murder, nonetheless.The very second she received the notification, Ivory had quickly read through it, and then read through it again, but still, the words didn’t change.It was written there in big bold letters, a Summoning for the murder of Peter Mendez.Peter Mendez? Ivory pondered the familiar name with a frown. Was that the quack doctor her father tried giving her to as a sacrificial lamb?He was dead and the court thinks she did it?“What the hell?” Ivory muttered, her thoughts in shambles, her mind working overtime to try and piece everything together.However, the more she tried, the more confused she became, until finally, she decided that the only way she could dim fit at the moment, was to allow her lawyer handle this.She called him immediately and explained the situation.“I un

The last few days had created a new phobia for Ivory. That is, the phobia of surprise.So much had happened in the past few days, or weeks, might she say, that Ivory had subconsciously developed the phobia of surprises.From Gadreel’s accident, to discovering the orphanage, to her father accident, then Lucien’s little stunt and the court summoning, she couldn’t possibly be blamed for her newly developed phobia.And now, as she watched the number of her lawyer flash across her screen, she wonder just what type of surprise awaited her.Pulling in a deep breath, she answered the phone after the third ring. “Hello?”“Ms. Remington, good day. I’m calling to inform you about the task you assigned to me. The one concerning visitation of your father.”Ivory felt her mood considerably lift. One good news!“Yes, I’m listening.”“The court has agreed to grant you visitation, legally and has restricted your stepmother from interfering.”“Ah,” Ivory felt relish wash over her. However, it was short

“Elixiron has been accused of manufacturing illegal drugs?”The news hit Ivory like a truck. Never, had she ever expected something like this, to happen, especially since she had always taken care when approving products made by them.Yet, here she was, standing by and listening to some absurd news that Peter Mendez’s death was caused by a drug… manufactured by her company!It sounded quite funny and almost prompted a laugh from Ivory. But the paper in her hands, the police officers standing in front of her, and the serious look in their eyes told her this was no laughing matter.“What’s the meaning of this?” She asked, her frown deepening, while the officers looked amongst themselves, before the leader spoke up.“As I’ve explained, there is tangible evidence to support the claim that your company was behind Mr. Mendez’s death.”“That’s bullshit. My company is not behind anyone’s death.” Ivory declared and without missing a beat, the lead officer retorted.“That’s for the court to dec

Ivory wasn’t sure how long has gone by. With no phone, no work to attend to and no other person to talk to, she was left to her thoughts.Thoughts that were not so kind to her.They reminded her of all the events in her life and how everything was going south.Her marriage had totally failed.Her father was in a coma.The company she had suffered to build was slowly losing stocks because of a naïve mistake, and if the investigation was anything to go by, it was surely going to be affected more.And to make matters worse, she was in jail.If this wasn’t a big laugh in her face from the universe, then Ivory didn’t know what was.With a sigh, she resisted the urge to curl up and perhaps let out a frustrated shout, and instead, opted for burying her face in her palms.What was she going to do?As she was thinking, the door leading towards the cells opened and in walked an officer, who looked a bit hesitant, but determined.“Ms. Remington, someone is here to see you.”Ivory didn’t bother r

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

“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

“…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
