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

    Ivory had clocked out early from the office the following day, insisting on saving up enough strength for her father.She wanted to be ready to deal with whatever drama he was going to pull.Following the address she has been sent the previous day, she arrived at a bar in-built in a hotel, The Garden Of Eden, as it was ironically named. 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. Once he was gone, Lionel cleared his throat awkwardly and began.“You’re mad at me, Ivy, I can see, tell,”He

    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 nearly snatched the tablet from Camilla’s hands. With a single glance at the content, it was clear that Ødexa had indeed intercepted their recent collaboration.Although the deal hasn’t been finalized, it was clear from the picture of a representative of Heinrich Cooperation and one of Ødexa, shaking hands, that Heinrich Cooperation was considering partnering with Ødexa.And she knew this was Gadreel’s doing. But why, she couldn’t place her mind on.Was this just another business move of his? Or was this a payback for the fact that she had refused the acquisition? Or…was it because he had discovered her identity?Her dream flashed in her mind once again and Ivory felt a sense of paranoia begin to creep up.She was brought out of her thoughts by Camilla.“Boss, what should we do?”Ivory shook her head and sighed. “I’ll handle this,” She muttered and handed the tablet back. “Go on and carry out the rest of your tasks. I’ll inform you once the situation has been resolved."“Yes, bo

    The surgery had taken more of a toll on Ivory than she had expected. Coupled with the event that has happened earlier, she was exhausted.The moment she got back home, she sank into the comfort of her bed, not bothering to take a well needed shower, and was asleep in an instant.The moment she closed her eyes, she opened them to find herself in a place she never thought her mind would bring her back to.The Garden in her very first family house. In front of her was a younger version of herself, crying after she had fallen down and scrapped her knee and in front of that younger version, trying to comfort her, was a young version of Gadreel.‘Ah, I remember this day.’ Ivory thought with a frown, yet her eyes softened as she watched the memory play out.It had been a little while after she and Gadreel had become friends. His mother has come over to visit hers and while the adults talked, Ivory and Gadreel went to play in the Garden.The happened to encounter a cat and she tried chasing a

    The surgery lasted a total of 5 hours, but at last, the affected Valves in Evangeline’s heart had been repaired and her condition stabilized.Looking down at her first successful surgery in years, Ivory knew she should have felt pride and joy, but at this moment, the only thing she felt was a tinge of regret.Perhaps she should have left Evangeline to die. All the pain and suffering she had been through in life was all because of Evangeline.Then, wouldn’t that mean that if she had died, everything would have gone back to the way it has been before she and her mother came along?No, Ivory shook the thought off. Nothing can ever be the same, even if Evangeline were to die.“Good Job, V.” Kael, clasping her shoulder, praised.Ivory offered him a half hearted and tired smile. “Yeah, you too.” She glanced back at Evangeline for a few seconds before speaking again. “I’m gonna head out now…”Kael nodded. “Sure, you go on ahead, I’ll reach out to you once everything’s wrapped up here.”Ivory

    Gadreel frowned at the doctor’s words. Taking a step forward, he seemed to totally forget about the conversation he was having with Ivory.“What do you mean by that? Earlier, you said she was stable, so why is she suddenly in danger?” He questioned.“Ms. Remington was indeed stable, but her heart suffered a sudden attack and for someone who suffers from a heart condition like Coronary Artery Disease, this could be fatal. That’s why I urge, the sooner we operate on her, the better.”Coronary Artery Disease? Ivory couldn’t help but frown at the doctor’s diagnosis.Evangeline doesn’t suffer from CAD, as most call it, but rather...“What she suffers from is Ischemic Heart Disease, IHD. It’s easily mistaken for CAD, but unlike CAD, it’s not caused by the build-up of plaque, but a sudden shortage of blood flow, due to an occluded vessel or narrowing.” Her words gained the attention of both men.“The best course of action in this case would be to-“ Before she could finish her diagnosis, Ivor

    Ivory was rooted in place with her eyes wide.That…that unmistakably, was the sound of a gunshot. Did that mean someone had gotten shot?The thought sent a sick feeling down her spine.“Ivy,” Cameron suddenly tugged her along, pulling her out of her trance like state. “We need to get out of here.”He pulled her behind him and began leading her away from their current location in hopes that he could get them far away from whoever had the gun.Ivory on the other hand, although she knew this was the rational thing to do, couldn’t help her doctor side that kicked in.“Wait,” She said, pulling to a stop and earning a frown from Cameron. “We can’t just leave like this. What if…what if someone needs our help?”Cameron’s frown increased and he grabbed her hand again. “If we don’t stay out of the way, we would be the ones in need of help.”He began dragging her away, but Ivory resisted, not budging an inch.“You can’t possibly be serious.” He muttered and shook his head. After a few seconds of

    “Let me take you home.” Cameron has said and at that point in time, it both sounded and looked like a bad idea.But did Ivory really have an option?With her car broken down and all ride seemingly avoiding that area, or charging hefty sums, she was stuck.And so, after much debate, she finally caved in and accepted the ride, and that was how she ended up in the passenger seat of Cameron’s car.The ride had been going on smoothly, the silence between them comfortable in a way that no one rushed to break.But then, Cameron, being who he is, decided to speak up.“So, you were married to Gadreel?” He glanced at her, noticing how her temperament visibly changed at the mention of his best friend. “I’m still having a hard time believing it.”“Well, believe it,” Ivory responded, a hint of sarcasm in her voice. “And drop it.”Cameron chuckled, but did not say a thing further, simply turning his attention back to the road, while Ivory shifted in her seat, crossing her legs, and looking out the

    Asher could sense the tension in the air. Minutes after Ivory had walked out and Cameron had followed her, the rest of them, Evangeline and Gadreel included, had settled in one of Golden Hours private room.But even after the drinks had been served, not one word had been spoken. Gadreel looked lost in his own thought, while Evangeline looked like she had several things to ask.And Asher...well, after a few more minutes, he couldn't take it anymore.Sighing, he stood up and decided to give the little couple of their group, some space."I'll go grab... something." He excused himself and without a second glance, walked out.The silence after that did not last a second longer. Finally given their privacy, Evangeline spoke up."You've finalized the divorce with Ivory? Why didn't you tell me?" She turned her attention to Gadreel, expecting an instant answer.However, he kept his gaze fixed on the content in his glass, swirling it around in constant circles without saying a word.He heard Ev

    “Twerp?!” Emma glared at Cameron, at that very moment, she was ready to jump at him and butt heads like they usually did back as kids.Much to her dismay, Cameron completely ignored her and solely focused on the more important person in front of him, Ivory.She too, seemed to ignore Emma angry crying and for a split second, all she did was stare at Cameron, still a bit frazzled from the sudden loss of distance between their faces.Her trance like state was broken when Cameron smirked, pleased that his presence was having an effect on her.“So, which is it?” He asked.Ivory adjusted, putting distance between them once again, and turned away.“Are you normally annoying, or is this an exception because you’re what…” She paused and eyed him, making sure that he could tell she had called bull on his earlier words. “Pursing me? Which is it?”Cameron chuckled, amused. It wasn’t everyday he met a lady who wasn’t impressed by his charm and looks.“Perhaps both,” he answered, and although Ivory

    Once again, the room exploded in whispers, shareholders present exchanged looks and stares of disbelief and horror.“Arrest?!” Tom shouted, as his face twisted in anger.“You’re going to arrest me? That’s absurd. Who’s the one who filed the charge?”He looked at everyone, but no one seemed keen on answering.“It was I.” Ivory answered with a sweet smile. “Me, Ms. Remington.”She stepped forward and flashed a smile at him. “I’ve recorded everything, from your insult, to the accusation you’ve thrown at me. Everything, and now,”She leaned back, arms crossed, and her smile became more mischievous.“You can rot in jail for slandering a person’s name and insulting her.”Tom’s eyes widened and his face turned beet red. “You!” He snarled. “You bitch-“Before he could finish, the law enforcement officers grabbed his arms and pulled him away.“Let go of me! Don’t touch me, you fools.”Ivory watched the scene before her with a small smile. This was just the beginning, there was a long road ahea
