Bethany stepped out of the bathroom, and put on a bathrobe.

As she blow dried her hair in the mirror, she smiled to herself.

Everything had been going well of recent, and she enjoyed it.

Little did Ivy know that she wasn't ready to give Alexander up. Bethany had made up her mind to pull them apart at all costs, and she was going to stop at nothing.

Then she laughed, as she remembered how she had fooled Alexander into thinking Ivy had been plotting to stay with him just for his money, and leave when she was done.

It hadn't been hard, she had simply said those words herself, and fed an AI app with Ivy's vocals, and it had repeated her words, only it was in Ivy's voice.

Alexander had looked so shocked when she played the recording for him, of course, it might not have been what Ivy would say, but it did the job nevertheless.

"Bethany, you're such a mastermind, aren't you? " She said to herself in the mirror, then more seriously, she added. "You're not getting my fiance. Not even if you h

    "It can't be! They were here yesterday, with their spare parts, sofas, and books!""Oh, yes. Those people. They weren't in the shop, they only displayed their goods out there." She said."Yes! They're the ones I'm looking for." She said."Oh, they paid to display their merchandise for just a few days. They're not the real owner. They were to show up today also, but they're not here. That's strange.""Uh… their contact info? Did they leave it with you? Their address…""It wasn't like a contract or something. I'd say they bribed the old man to place their goods in front of his shop." She said, and Piper closed her eyes, shaking her head."Okay… okay, um… you don't have any means of contacting them right now?" She asked, and the lady shook her head."I said it was more of a bribe, there was no formal agreement.""Okay, one more favor. Can you call me whenever you see them?" She asked, and the lady nodded, handing Piper her phone.Piper took it, and saved her number."My name is Piper.""

    Ivy was surprised to see Alexander, call her. She couldn’t describe her emotions at this time, but she felt that he was probably sent to her to relieve her of her worries, and pain. She answered the call, and it took her a while to speak, but she had no choice, seeing as he had not said a word.“Hello.”She didn’t hear a word from Alexander, still, and wondered why he was mute“Alexander?”“I think my phone must have put a call through, to you. It’s quite sensitive with touch. I apologize for that.” He said, then hung up.Ivy was left, speechless, and felt her heart break, into pieces. “Why would this happen when things aren’t going right with me, presently? This is unfair.” She sobbed.Then she dialed Alexander’s number, but he didn’t answer her call.“What the hell did I do to him, to deserve this sudden avoidance?” She asked herself, in pain.Now, it felt as if the whole world, was against her, and the only people that were for her, were also suffering with her.

    Ivy felt refreshed, and a bit better as they got to a small town. The house they were given to, was amidst a beautiful garden, and in a peaceful neighborhood. This was the best scenery she had seen so far.“I see why people come here for vacations, and meditations. This is the perfect place.” Piper said, with a smile.“Mommy, I love this place.” Liam shouted, while jumping around.A feeling of joy, overwhelmed them, and they were glad they had chosen the right place. Ivy arranged everything she brought from the city, and was pleased with her arrangement. They had gotten the chance, of staying here, for free, as Piper’s aunt had helped with it.“It took us hours to get here, but I must say, it was worth the journey. When you are close to nature, you are bound to feel peace, in your troubled spirit.” Ivy said, with a smile.“Of course. Once we get back to the city, our energy would have been back to a high level, and we would be able to get back at things that are trying to weigh us dow

  • Alexander's Unforgettable Lover   Mysterious message

    Piper stared at the message for a while, not understanding what it meant.Was the person trying to play jokes with her, or they really meant what they sent? How was the root of her problems known to the person, when she hadn't even met them? She was so confused, and kept staring at those words. The root of her problems? Then she started to think. Everything might have not being a coincidence after all. She clicked on the number, and tried to put a call through.But the phone rang over, and over without being picked. Piper kept on dialing because she needed to understand the message fully. She needed to know, but no matter how many times Piper dialed the number, it only rang, and was ignored."Hey… " Ivy said, and Piper hastily put her phone in her pockets."What's wrong?" Ivy asked, noticing the odd way Piper stashed her phone away."No, I wanted to help, but didn't realize when I started fooling with my phone." She said, and gave a nervous laugh."It's totally okay, we're done wit

    They spread out, and began to ask people on the road if they had seen a little boy go past, alone or with someone.They received negative replies, and with each step Ivy took, her heart was pounding. She was feeling so regretful. She felt she should have taken him from the moment he was revived from his unconsciousness. She wondered why she had left him alone, and stayed away for so long. Only if she had taken him with her, then she wouldn't be out searching for him helplessly."Liam!" She called, hoping he wasn't kidnapped, was nearby, and would hear her voice.Her eyes started to water, as they approached the woods, but she didn't need to cry much. She saw him approaching them, although a tall stranger was holding his hand."Liam!" She called in anger, and ran to him. The man hid Liam behind him, and looked at Ivy."Can I apologize on his behalf? He was lost." He said."If he had stayed put where I kept him, he wouldn't be lost." She said, angry that he had caused her so much worry

    Piper stared at those notes unable to tear her eyes away. She stood up, and looked at Bethany, but Bethany put up a hand."Chill." She said, and dropped another bundle from her bag onto the table.Piper gulped. "Sit. I can't speak to you this way." She said sipping from her mug once more.Piper exhaled, thinking fast, and sat down, trying to take away her gaze from the money. "Miss Bethany…" Piper started to say but Bethany tapped the bundles of money directing her attention to it once more."You should think twice, and pick sides. Ivy cannot provide this amount of money. "This is twenty thousand dollars. You know, this is not what you or Ivy come by easily, and I'm giving it to you.." She said, and Piper stared at the money with a million thoughts on her mind. "Twenty thousand dollars?" She asked."Do you want to count it?" Bethany asked, and Piper reached out slowly for the money. She knew she wasn't supposed to, but she couldn't help it. She needed the money.She counted it slo

    Piper counted the money over, and over again, wondering how it could possibly happen. She knew she had completed twenty thousand dollars the previous night. There was no way it was less than that."What's wrong Piper?" Ivy asked, and Piper looked at her."You look like you just discovered a skull in your bag." Liam said, and giggled."Ivy, I had some money in my bag last night. It's not complete." She said. "Also, the money isn't mine, I'll be returning it today. If I can't return it, then I'm doomed.""Oh my. I'm so sorry Piper. I took a little out of it to get something for Liam last night. I'm really sorry, is that why you worked so hard last night?" Ivy asked looking genuinely sorry."Yes. But… it's okay. It's totally fine. It was for Liam anyway.""Piper, I'm really sorry." Ivy apologized again."No. It's really fine. I'm not mad.

The first one said."It's so nice to see you once more." The other said, and Piper sat next to them."Yeah, it's really nice to meet like this. Are you going somewhere?" She asked them."No. Actually, we were out today for business on behalf of the company." "Oh. Really, what business?" She asked with a smile."I'm so sorry. We can't disclose.

    Brandon was pacing around as he kept calling Ivy but she wasn’t answering the call. He felt she had taken too long as it was already 2 hours past. Then he turned to Liam who was still looking scared.“I guess your mommy doesn’t really care about you, after all.” Then he removed the plaster from his mouth.“What do you say to that, kiddo? You should hate your mom, because she now leaves me no choice than to sell you to child traffickers.” Brandon said to Liam.“Please don’t sell me. Take me back to my mother.” Liam cried out as he began to hiccup.“Well, if only your tears were strong enough to thaw my heart.” “Please take me back to my mom.” Liam continued crying.“This is the reason I plastered up your mouth the other time. Do you want me to plaster it up again!” Brandon lashed out on Liam, angrily.Liam shook his head, feeling more scared.“Good. Now, I will feed you because I wouldn’t like to sell you when you are on an empty stomach, so I’ll lose these ropes and take you to the

    Bethany who was watching Ivy from her car, cackled and she felt satisfied that she kept laughing out loud in her car. She had come to talk to her to congratulate her for winning Alexander, although sarcastically, but seeing as Brandon had carried out the task easily, she didn’t bother anymore.“Now, you ought to know that it is completely dangerous to compete with someone like me.” She said to the air, then put on her sun shade and dialed Brandon’s number.“I see you have the child. Good job. Text me the hideout?” She inquired, feeling like a successful mafia boss.The location of the hideout was texted to her seconds after she hung up the call and then she smirked and drove off to the location. While Bethany was driving through different roads and streets, she discovered that they weren’t as quiet as she thought they were going to be.“Why the hell is this place so loud? Why would he do business around places like this?” She complained as she drove through a street until she got to t

    Brandon then stared at her with keen interest. Looking at the way she dressed and comported herself, he could tell that she was influential and had money "What deal?"Then Bethany showed him Ivy's picture and Brandon was startled that he choked on his drink. He didn't understand why Bethany was showing him Ivy's picture instead and he couldn't look into Ivy's eyes in the picture because of what he did to her in the picture."Remember your sister whom you dated her fiancè?""It doesn't matter. He was gay. And what does her picture have to do with our deal?" Brandon inquired, trying to understand what was going on.Then Ivy showed him Liam's picture as well."This is her boy. I want you to kidnap him as soon as possible."Brandon took the picture and took a good look at it and then smirked."So, she has a boy now, uhn? She must be living a happy life. Well, I don't think I can do this. I'm not interested." He rejected the job and handed over the picture to Bethany."Are you sure? I'm o

And you have gotten more beautiful, Alicia.” He complimented his sister.“Oh, come on, brother. By the way, I am so glad to see you. Thanks to Bethany who urged us to make this beautiful surprise.” Alicia revealed.Alexander glanced at Bethany who was beaming with smiles and then she hugged him affectionately.“Thank you, Bethany.” He thanked her, still feeling elated about the surprise.“You are welcome. Alright, I prepared breakfast already. So, let’s get to the dining room.” Bethany notified and walked up to the dining room to offer Alexander’s mother a seat.“Thank you, my

    Alexander was surprised that a month had passed by so fast and he wondered what surprise Bethany had for him.“That’s good news. I hope your journey back to the city wasn’t hectic.” “It wasn’t. Why would it be when the joy of seeing you has filled my heart?” Bethany blushed over the phone.Alexander chuckled awkwardly, then he decided to get off that awkward situation by asking a question. “You said you have a surprise for me. What is it? I am actually curious about what surprise you have for me.” “Yeah. Let’s meet at my house, tomorrow’s morning, then you’ll marvel.” She squealed in excitement. “Honey, I have to go. We’ll talk tomorrow, alright?”“Alright then. Bye.”He let out a troubled sigh and slammed his hand on his face. He was used to life without Bethany already and her sudden arrival just made his seemingly bright and happy life, feel like the cloud was nearby. He knew that Ivy was going to feel somehow once she becomes aware that Bethany is back. “I know what to do.” He

    Ivy’s gaze was fixed at Liam’s body and she was trying to make sense of what was going on at the moment. Alexander walked in as he had gotten his shot pretty fast. He noticed the atmosphere and touched Ivy’s shoulder.“What’s going on Ivy?” He asked as he wondered why she was staring that way and looking a bit lost.Then Ivy looked up at Alexander and pointed at Liam.“Why is he covered up?” She asked as tears began to fill her eyes up.“Oh, Liam was actually acting stubborn today and I was about calling his favorite doctor as he wanted to see him. He was being rebellious, so he remained adamant about having the bed cover, covering his face as well.”“Mommy?” Liam called out to her in a low tone as he removed the bed cover from his face.“Oh, my goodness. Liam, my baby.” She said, in relief as she walked up to him in joy.She hugged him tight and sniffed his neck.“I missed you mom.

It calls for celebration.” Alexander rejoiced with her.“I know right?” Ivy smiled widely.“I think it would be best if we celebrate tomorrow’s evening. We’ll all celebrate with Liam as well.” Alexander suggested as he rubbed his palms.“I’ll love that. That’s going to be perfect.” Ivy beamed in smiles.“Alright then. So, let’s get back to praying, shall we?”“Sure.”Both Ivy and Alexander closed their eyes and Ivy prayed and blessed the food, then they started eating.“I was thinking if we can go on a date tomorrow after I take my shot. We’ll have fun until evening when we get prepared to celebrate Piper’s success.” Alexander suggested while chewing.“Hmm. That’s a good idea. Does that mean you won’t be going to work?” “Yes. I won’t.

He noticed that he had missed Ivy’s calls and he wondered why she could have called him repeatedly when it wasn’t really long after they had seen each other.As he was about to call her back, a call from Bethany came up and he answered it.“Hey Bethany, I just closed from work. I will be at your place in less than 45 minutes.”“Oh, I think we won’t be able to meet tonight, Alexander.”“And why is that?” Alexander asked, out of curiosity.“An important meeting came up and I am no longer in the city. I couldn’t inform you because I had to be quick. I am back at Spain and will explain to you later on the emergency meeting. That would be when I get back.” Bethany informed, in a low tone.“But are you okay?” Alexander asked, noticing Bethany’s low tone.“I’m fine. I am going to miss you, Alexander.

    “Piper!” Ivy exclaimed as she stood up immediately and walked towards her slowly. “I thought you left.” Ivy said, with tears, strolling down her chin.“I did. But Bethany texted me, saying you were about to ridicule yourself in the company I worked at recently.” Piper replied, looking sad. “And, I am sorry for leaving. I just thought that was the best. You know very well that I did it for your good, right?” Piper sniffed, looking into Ivy’s eyes as she got teary.Then the CEO slammed his hands on the table in anger as he stood up.“Take your emotional drama out of my office, this instant!” He ordered, with his right eyebrow arched.Ivy cupped Piper’s face carefully, with her hands and pursed her lips as she looked at her pitifully.“You have been doing things for me. Now, it is my turn to do things for you.” Ivy said, with firmness, then released Piper’s face and turned to the CEO who was fuming in anger.“I know very well that your phone is probably filled with threatening texts from
