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 h
“Suit yourself, V.”He resumed his eating, his eyes however, occasionally returning to her, as she settled herself on the couch, munching silently on the piece of bread.After a little while, and much internal debate if she was about to take the right step towards her freedom, which she wanted to be
“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.T
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 tou
“…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’v
“Fuck off,” She cursed, using her free hand and punching his chest. “Just leave me the fuck alone! I don’t want you near me.”Lucien scoffed, and before she could react, his hands gripped her shoulders, pushing her backwards.Surprised, her back hit the wall, and her eyes widened when his hands slam
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 co
“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
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 had been months since Ivory and Gadreel had announced their engagement.And well, the moment the news had been spread, their phones had never stopped ringing, everyone calling and congratulating the couple.The news, had come as a surprise to everyone, because, despite being divorced, and their r
Ivory was happy, her heart was swelling with the amount of love and happiness she was feeling, and her lips were tugged up in a smile.“You better.” She said and placed her hands over his, her smile, widening. “Because, I’m never letting you go, Gadreel Ødegaar.”The smile on Gadreel's lips mirrored
“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
Give or take, three weeks had passed since Ivory had woken up. Damien, ever the charming savior, had taken his time and cared for her, providing her with supplements that not only aided her recovery, but also helped with her unborn child.Ivory was grateful for that, however the fact that she had no
