The new week had waltzed in before anyone could notice. But unlike the past weeks, the beginning of this one was anything but pleasant.Gadreel, seated behind the desk in his office, had received the file from his PI, the security footage from a street camera outside Florida’s house.He felt somewha
Gadreel’s frown deepened as he turned on the car and began speeding in the direction of his house. He couldn’t allow that happen.~•~The next few days has been a blur between busyness and quietness. With Lucien’s cast finally coming off, Lionel undergoing the surgery and her previous work load incr
Ivory’s entire face crumbled with confusion as she looked at Lucien.“What?” She asked, trying to understand if she had just heard him clearly.She had and as a matter of fact, Lucien boldly repeated those words again.“Ødexa is finally facing its downfall. That’s good, isn’t it?” He said and flashe
Gadreel had gotten back home about an hour ago and began his search, yet, he hadn’t found the ledger.Sitting at the edge of his bed, hand perched on his knee and brows drawn together, Gadreel was deep in thought, trying his best to figure out where the ledger was.The last place he had left it, sec
When he nodded, Ivory suddenly extended her hand, gesturing for him to put something.What…ah, the flash drive!Reaching into his pocket, Gadreel pulled out the flash drive he had taken on his way out and placed it in her hand.“This…” Ivory blinked in confusion. “What is this?”“The CCTV footage of
“I don’t get it.”It was the third person they have visited, and the third time they had been disappointed.Beside her, Gadreel looked her way, a silent indication that he was waiting for her to continue. And that Ivory did.“Why have petty bastards refused to talk? Is there a law against such, or s
And her dress, was the prettiest, most elegant, and most beautiful, piece of garment, Gadreel had ever laid his eyes on.It was simple, yet, beautiful.Her makeup, was done perfectly, bringing out the natural beauty of her skin and the color of her eyes.And the jewelry, added a touch of elegance, a

“It’s your reward, I’m pregnant.”Ivory, could barely hear her own voice. Her heart was thumping, her palms were sweating and her entire body was trembling slightly with anticipation.She was nervous, and she was right to be, because, well, the man standing in front of her, had gone completely silen
Gadreel didn't move for a while, his eyes searching hers, looking for any hint of uncertainty, or deceit, but finding none, he allowed himself to breathe a sigh of relief as he got up and pulled her into a hug, his arms encircling her waist, and his head resting on her shoulder."Thank you, Ivory."
The ride home was quiet, each party, was individually engrossed in their thoughts, safe for the fact that, the had totally different thoughts.Gadreel had a lot to say, and he was not about to hold them back, and Ivory, well, her thoughts were filled with questions, and worry, worries, not for her o
“However, I’d be taking her off your hands now.”Damien was silent for a few seconds. It was clear that he was thinking, deeply, but one glance behind his shoulder and a lingering stare, was all it took for him to get the answer for whatever deep thought he had been pondering.“Fine.” He finally spo
Tracing where her eyes lingered, Damien realized what it was and gave her a small smile.“Go on, but don’t take too long.”Ivory’s face immediately lit up and she nodded, rushing into the shop like a giddy school girl.As she looked around, she could feel the excitement bubbling inside her. She coul
