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

Gadreel had walked into the police station worried about Ivory’s well-being, considering the situation at hand and although not spoken out loud, he had been willing to help in whatever way he could, yet, here he was, walking out of said station with a sour mood after a- in his opinion- one sided altercation.The event, still relatively new, replayed several times in his mind as he walked down the hall of the police station and each time, he would feel his mood damp more and more and the frown be fought against, would manage to make it’s way to his expression.Because, as much as he didn’t want to admit it, Ivory’s words had cut him deeper than expected. For the first time, unfortunately so, he experienced what it feels like to be on the receiving end, and without a doubt, he could tell that it was not a pleasant thing, because, all he could feel was the growing pain in his chest, a deep frown on his face and a bitter Realization that Ivory only thought the worse about him.He had disr

Ivory had seen her fair share of surprise this week, but this…this was a totally different level.She couldn’t believe her eyes and for the first time since Gadreel left, the frown that had been permanently etched on her face, disappeared and was replaced by a look of utter disbelief.“Sir!”“Hello, Ivory.”There, standing before her, was none other than the man who had guided her through her years while she grew her knowledge on medicine.The very man who had taught her the difference between life and death. The man who had saved her and gave her a new life when her own family has abandoned her in the hands of a foster home.“What…what are you doing here?!” Ivory couldn’t contain her shock. In fact, she was still wondering if she was dreaming.Was the stress getting to her that bad?Doctor Elias Wrenford chuckled lightly, the sound was one Ivory remembered fondly. It was the same laugh he had made whenever he saw her doing something foolish.“I take my eyes off you for five minutes,

Ivory’s passion for medicine had come about because of three reason.The first one being the urge to impress Elias Wrenford, when he took her under his wing.Second, her wish to help people and make a living out of it.And third, create a medicine the prevented people from facing the same unfortunate demise as her mother’s.Back then, when she still believed that the cause of her mother’s death was an illness, one that until date, she never really got a name for, except for the fact that it was heart disease, she had been determined to make a medicine that would cure any illness, prevent death, and save lives.Unfortunately, that never happened, because after a near death experience with one of the tester and more research that proved that an achievement like that was impossible, Ivory stopped, completely.Disease, illnesses and death, they were just a natural part of the cycle. They came and went and the world would carry on.With that knowledge in mind, she had abandoned the devil’s

“I see you’ve kept yourself busy after leaving Luminary, Lucien.” Standing by the entrance of the living room, Elias stared at Lucien with a look that could only be described as disapproval, but after seconds, it disappeared.Lucien however, couldn’t hide the look of surprise that took over his face. “Doctor Elias,”As opposed to the warm ‘Uncle Elias’ that Ivory calls him, Lucien addressed their master in a more formal manner.“What a pleasant surprise. What are you doing in Paris?” He asked.Elias’s eyes lingered on Ivory’s shoulder for a little while, and only then did she realize that Lucien’s hand was still on her shoulder.Gently, she nudged it off and stepped away.“I came here for Ivory. I’m sure you’re aware of the recent developments, am I right?”“Yes,” Lucien sighed. “Which is why I came here. To check on V. Are you okay?” He directed the question to her.She nodded. “I’m fine. Thanks for the concern.” She managed a small smile, one that Lucien easily returned.The interac

After Doctor Elias had left, Ivory returned to the living room, she was a bit surprised to find that Lucien was no longer seated on the couch where she had last seen him.She frowned, but then heard a sound coming from her kitchen and the next second, Lucien walked out with two cups in his hands.“I made some coffee.” He announced, handing one of the cups to her before she could even think to refuse. “I assumed you might need it after a rough day.”She accepted the cup, taking a sip, and instantly, the warmth of the drink washed over her and brought her a sense of comfort.“Thank you,” She said, smiling ever so slightly and walking back to the living room.Lucien followed.“How are you feeling?” He asked as he sat down, and Ivory didn’t miss the way his gaze travelled over her face.He was definitely checking if she was alright, which, for some reason, didn’t bother her as much as it did the first time.“I’m fine,” She responded, sipping the coffee again. “Just tired and stressed.”“I

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
