Turning, he began walking in the direction of his car, intent of catching up with the car Ivory had just left in and getting much deserved answers.

But before he could reach his car, Evangeline’s voice reached his ears.

“Reel, are you leaving?” She had rushed out of the house after him and had witnessed his glaring contest with the car.

Now that she saw him leaving, obviously about to chase after Ivory, she began to panic.

“I have something to attend to, Eva. Get back inside the house and stay with your parents.” He instructed, not even glancing her way.

This fueled Evangeline’s panic even more and as a last resort, she turned to the only thing she was sure would work on Gadreel.

“Ah,” Grabbing her chest, she feigned hurt, pretending like her heart had began acting up again. “It hurts…I can’t breathe.”

The act worked perfectly, having Gadreel turning around immediately and rushing to her side.

“Eva,” His brows were furrowed, worry written all over his face. “Are you okay? What happene

    Monday rolled about quicker than even Ivory could have imagined. She had spent the whole weekend in preparation and looking through the company files, getting familiar with all the important stuff she needed to know.Lucien had kept her company for the major part of her preparation, which was a relief. And with her being so busy, she barely had time to think of Gadreel or her family's nonsense.That morning, she woke up at 5, took a shower and dressed up.Wearing a tight, long sleeve black turtleneck with a white coat draped over her shoulders and paired with a pencil skirt and heels, Ivory was ready to make most of her first day in the office.As she stepped out of her room, Emma spotted her and threw a compliment her way."Looking good, Ivy. You going somewhere?"Ivory responded with a hum as she stuffed her mouth with the scrambled eggs Emma had prepared."Work," She answered verbally just as her phone dinged with a message from Lucien, leaving no extra room for Emma to question he

    "What did you say?" In the office, Gadriel looked at the trembling life assistant. Just now, his assistant told him that the private detective they sent had had a finger cut off, and the private detective also brought back a message."Gardiel, your ownership of the ivory has expired. Otherwise, I would be happy to make you lose all your chips at the card table."Gadriel clenched his fist. Who is Ivory? She is the unloved eldest daughter of the Remington family. She is illiterate and was forced to drop out of school because of her foolishness in failing the final exam. However, when he was about to investigate her, he discovered that the man behind her was incredibly powerful.Who would fall in love with a woman as dull as Ivory?Just then, his work assistant walked in."Sir, our latest sales survey report for this year is now available," Ezikiel announced as he entered the room."Very well," Gadriel replied, and then dismissed the life assistant. He now had to focus on Ivan's surgery.

    Ivory got home after a tiring first day at the office and collapsed on her bed.She pulled out her phone and began scrolling through the internet. Although Camilla had assured her that all and any picture of her had been removed from the net, Ivory had decided to do a little investigation herself.But at that very moment, her phone dinged with a notification.A message from an app she hadn’t used for quite some time. Luminary Accord’s personalized mobile app.She clicked on the app, and it displayed her personal account.Arnett.That was the codename she had chosen when she joined the association, only giving those she considered close enough to her, her real name.The frown that has been on her face as she accessed the app was immediately transformed into a look of surprise when she accessed the message and saw it was a message from the bot admin containing an invite to one of Luminary’s upcoming seminar.She smiled faintly at this, after all, it sounded like a great opportunity to s

    The next day, as discussed, Evangeline sat in one of the medical wards, awaiting the arrival of Doctor A.Beside her, both her parents stood, whispering soothing words of reassurance and congrats. But as much as she loved them, none of their words mattered as much as Gadreel’s presence did.Standing on the other side of her, he had placed his hand on the lower edge of her back and rubbed it soothingly, looking down at her with a gaze that made Evangeline want to be a baby in his embrace.“I really hope everything goes well,” She fiddle with the tip of her fingers, for once, feeling genuinely nervous.This her big break. Ever since she was little, she had always been restricted from doing certain things because of her poor heart condition. But she didn’t let that deter her from her passion in acting.However, last year, things took a turn for the worse and she had to suspend all activities on acting as per doctor’s orders.But now, with the surgery going to be an obvious success, Evang

    The atmosphere had immediately returned back to how it once was the moment Ivory left.Gadreel was back to Evangeline’s side in seconds, rubbing soothing circles on her back with hopes of her heart not being affected.On the other side of Evangeline, Lionel and Samantha grumbled curses under their breaths, insulting the situation that had just happened and behind them, the on lookers also seemed to have their own fair share of say towards what had happened.Hearing from both directions, Gadreel suddenly felt a bit irritated. The movement of his hand against Evangeline’s back stopped and he turned to the whispering crowd, fixing them with a brief glare that had each and every one of them shutting up.Evangeline, ever the observant, did not fail to notice this.She frowned, but just as she was about to ask why Gadreel seemed irritated by their whispers, the door to the ward opened and in came Peter Mendez , the physician in charge of her case.“Doctor Mendez,” Lionel was the first to ap

She went into the bar section and immediately spotted her father.“I’m so glad you came, Ivy,” He said as she took a seat in front of him in the boot he was seated, making sure to keep her distance.“I almost thought you wouldn’t come,” raising his hand, he waved a waiter over. “Tell me, what would you like to have?”“Can we please get this over with quickly, I have places to be.” Ivory insisted and Lionel cracked a smile.“I understand.” Turning to the waiter, he insisted. “Please get my daughter a glass of water.”The waiter nodded and after.

    Fuck! She cursed. There was no way in hell she was getting in the same elevator as Gadreel!Her eyes quickly darted about looking for the stairway. She spotted it under seconds, but just as she turned to leave, Gadreel grabbed her hand.“Let go!” Ivory snapped, not wanting to waste another second.But her words didn’t seem to get to Gadreel. He frowned at her sight and without another word, pulled her into the elevator.The doors slid close before Ivory could protest and Gadreel pulled out a black card to swipe against the pad, granting access to the presidential floor.“What are you doing?” Ivory struggled in his hold. “Didn’t you hear me, I said let-“The rest of her words died on the tip of her tongue as Gadreel turned to glare at her.How dare she be so stubborn when she was dressed like this. She was practically exposed.If they had met under different circumstances, Gadreel would have ignored her. But imagine this, he came to this hotel, because after discussing with Veronica, h

    Gadreel's phone was ringing in the background, he heard it vibrating on the sink where he had dropped it, yet, he paid no attention to it.Or rather, at this very moment, his brain considered the device unimportant.Trapped by the lips of a woman who he had only seen as nothing more than the sister of his childhood lover and an opportunist for the past five years, and now, was the source of this sudden and unexpected pleasure, Gadreel found the device not as important.And thus, he continued to devour her lips, holding her head in place as his tongue explored her mouth, tasting and savoring the sweetness, a sweetness he never knew existed.A sweetness, unlike the taste of any other woman he has ever kissed.And it was the very same sweetness that had him deepening the kiss and pulling Ivory closer, her soaked body coming in contact with his dry one.A wet, hot and cold sensation that had his skin tingling and a strange desire welling in the pits of his stomach.As Gadreel and Ivory we

    Ivory wasn’t sure which to be more surprised by; the dramatic bow Aurora has just made, or the fact that her last name was Varga, the very same one as Lucien’s.No, It definitely had to be the latter.“Varga?” She asked, giving off the very emotion that Aurora knew she would.Confusion.“Are you by any chance related-““Yes,” She cut her off with a smile, know exactly where Ivory was going. “Lucien, he’s my son.”Immediately those words left her mouth, Aurora had expected Ivory to jump at the opportunity and apologize profusely for her rude behavior so far, but much to her disappointment, it seemed to have the opposite effect on Ivory.Ah, what had that wonderful child of hers said about her to make Ivory react this way? She could only but wonder as she watched the girl in front of her, look her over from head to toe, before giving a bow that was anything but polite.“I apologize if I had behaved rudely towards you, Mrs. Varga. Please accept my apology, I was unaware of the fact that

    The shareholders were, needless to say, surprised, when they suddenly heard that Ivory had called for a meeting. But, with what she had done to the previous shareholders looming within the walls of the company like a death threat, no one dared to question her.So, when the time of the meeting had finally arrived, Ivory found herself surrounded by the remaining top shareholders.“Now,” she began, taking her seat at the head of the table. “I know, everyone’s confused and wondering why I’ve called you here, but, please, bear with me.” Taking a look around the table, she gauged every of their reaction, before continuing.“I’m sure many of you are aware of the passing of Lionel Remington, my father,”A chorus of muttered condolences and sympathies filled the room and Ivory nodded.“Thank you. However, with his passing, and the reading of his will, a more expectation, has been placed on my shoulder, unlike never before. With his passing, I was left with the responsibility of taking over Rem

    Ivory had expected nothing less from the woman, so, she was not surprised. In fact, it was amusing, and if not for the fact that this woman, was her father’s widow, she would have burst into laughter.“That’s interesting.” She began, a small smirk on her lips. “You want to take over Remington Crop, when it was clearly stated in my father’s will that it had been left to me.”Leaning forward, she stared the woman in the eye and asked. “Are you trying to get on my nerves, Samantha?”The woman, although she seemed a little shaken by Ivory’s gaze, she did not deter from her original goal. “I’m only doing what’s best for the company, for my husband’s legacy.” She stated.“Remington Crop would crumble the moment it enters your hands. I won’t stand by and watch-“Ivory had laughed, interrupting her before she could even finish her statement.“Did you think, you could do something about it in the first place?” She questioned. “You may be his step wife, but I’m his blood, his biological daughte

    Wishes and condolences, coupled with get well gifts had come rushing in no less than a day later. The first person who had sent even though he had been with her for half of the time, was Gadreel.His present, a bouquet of white roses, chocolates and a condolences card. It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but it still managed to make Ivory frown.That frown however, wasn’t because she hated the gift, but rather, because she found herself smiling subtly at the gift, appreciating it.Ah, that was a behavior she didn’t want to even start exhibiting.The second person, or rather people, who had sent their gifts, was Emma and Cameron. Each a bouquet of followers and cards that told her to call anytime she needed them.The last, was from Gabriella. Ever the sweet woman she is, she had put together a bouquet of handpicked blue forget-me-nots.But despite the gifts she had received and how nice her house was now smelling thanks to them, Ivory couldn’t help but feel like something was odd a

    The first two days, following the reading of her father's will, had passed peacefully.There had been no issues and everything had gone by without a hitch. However, today, wasn't going to be as peaceful.After two whole days of sorting things out, it was finally time for her father's Funeral.And with a sigh, Ivory stood in front of the mirror, a frown on her face. She was dressed all in black, and the only accessories on her body, was the necklace Lucien had given her and a ring she managed to fish out from her jewelry set."Are you ready?"Turning around, she faced Gadreel, who stood, leaning against the doorframe. He was dressed in a dark suit and his hair was neatly combed, falling to the side of his forehead.He looked presentable, handsomely so, and if not for the occasion at hand, Ivory would have allowed herself to take in his entire feature, before then proceeding to scold herself.But, not now. Not only was the time not right, Gadreel had also been of massive help to her. He

    After everyone has left the Remington Manor, leaving Samantha alone, she sat on the couch, and glared daggers at the wall in front of her.Her anger had not subsided, and if anything, was only growing.How was it that Ivory had managed to get her hand on the majority of Lionel’s property. The bastard had left her with nothing but a house, a few cars and cash that was sure to finish in a couple of years, with her type of lifestyle.She deserved more. She was his wife. She had spent so many years with him, loved him. Why would he leave her with so little, and give that useless daughter of his everything?!Samantha’s mind was filled with rage and hatred. But then, suddenly, the image of the lady back at the hospital, flashed in her mind, and a new, even worse thought, entered her mind.It was the perfect way to solve this problem, without even getting her hand dirty.Picking up her phone, she fetched the card she had been given and called the number there. It rang once, twice and on the

    A quick shower, a quick meal, that was forced by her ex husband, and an hour drive later, Ivory was seated beside Gadreel, in the living room of the Remington Manor, where Samantha who did not hesitate to throw glares at gee every minute and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers was seated across them, holding a folder in his hands.Evangeline wasn’t present, but Ivory could really care less.“Thank you for coming, Ms. Remington.” He began, offering her a polite smile. “Might I say, again, that I am very sorry for your loss."“Skip the formalities, and read the will.” Ivory responded, sounding cold and uninterested. If one looked at her as she was dressed, they’d think she cared not about the death of her father, but Gadreel could testify against that, after all, he had been the one comforting her for nearly half a day.“Alright, if you insist.” Clearing his throat, the man, Cole West, as he had introduced himself before on the phone, opened the file and retrieved a document.“In m

    With her room being just as quiet as her mind, the first heavy wave of grief had hit Ivory some time around 2 in the early morning and she had felt her eyes burn with tears.She did not cry, but simply let the emotions consume her. Seating on the couch in her balcony, with a blanket wrapped around her to fight off the cold of approaching winter and her legs tucked close to her chest, Ivory stared, blankly, at the darkness that was outside.How was she supposed to handle this?She couldn’t bring her father back, no matter how much she wished it, but, she didn’t know how she was supposed to move on.How did people do it? How did she survive after her mother’s death?Ah, that’s right, she had her father. Then, he still showed some semblance of affection to her.

    Samantha was not someone who had the ability to cry a lot. In fact, she barely cried at all.However, with the death of her husband, Samantha could not help the tears that had streamed down her face.For a few seconds, she had not believed that Lionel was dead. She had refused to believe that he had gone and passed on. But when she walked into the hospital’s morgue and saw Lionel lying lifeless on the examination table, the reality that crashed down on her caused her to crumble to the floor.“Oh, darling, my poor, dear, darling.” She sobbed, walking forward and grabbing Lionel’s cold hand. “Why did this happen to you. How could this have happened to you?”She didn’t get an answer, and the longer she sat, with her eyes focused on her husband’s pale, and lifeless body, the more the tears continued to stream down her face.“This is all her fault,” She said, her voice trembling. “That stupid girl did this. If only she hadn’t done the surgery, you’d be alive right now, Lionel. You’d still
