When Ivan appeared at the company, it was around three in the evening. It had been a few days since he had been seen there and a few people had already begun slugging.Some of the employees had already begun packing their stuff yet they still had a full hour before the end of work.When the first person saw him, he hurriedly informed the others. And the environment became silent all of a sudden."He seems to be in a very bad mood. I don't know where he has been the last few days," one of them said.The others nodded in fear. "We might never be able to leave the office today. Who the hell angered him at such a time?"While they were still whispering amongst themselves, they saw Daris, walking towards the office with a cup of tea.The employees looked at her with envy. She must have heard that the boss was back and rushed over to please him.Everyone in the company knew that President Dione treated Daris exceptionally well. She was the human recourse manager of the company, and had a sli
Ivan stopped and looked at his assistant. "Do you want to add something?" He asked.Trevor shook his head, but he was not planning to stay that curious forever. He needed to understand the situation."Did you already know about her pregnancy?" He asked and moved away from him. He did not want to be hit.But to his surprise, Ivan just nodded his head, like it was a normal thing to do. "Mmh.""What?" Trevor forgot about his fear and looked at Ivan like he was a ghost. "And you still tried to confess to her?"Was something wrong with his boss? He felt like he needed to call a doctor to check up on him!Ivan looked at him with some irritation. "Are you planning to give me some advice or something?"Trevor shook his head hurriedly. "No! I can't dare," he said. Who knew what this man was thinking? "Just tell me when you need my help."A smile appeared at the corner of Ivan's mouth. And Trevor was shocked. Why were the emotions of this man varying every second?"Help me get a photo of Natalie
"You!" She tried struggling from the hands of the person. But he was just too strong for her."What are you trying to do, Natalie?" The man asked as he turned her around to look at her.Natalie immediately froze when she heard his voice. Why was he here now? Her first instinct was to run! No! She could not let him find out that she had just escaped the hospital.She quickly pulled herself from his arms and began running. But she was wrong! Ivan was not someone she could escape from that easily.With just one step, he had caught up with her. He held her hand with force and turned her to look at him.By this time, a small crowd had already formed around them. They were shocked to see a man fighting with a nurse.Natalie struggled to push him away. "Leave me alone or I will scream..." She struggled.Ivan sighed. He ignored her and pulled her towards the parking lot. "People are watching..." He said in a cold tone.Natalie stopped struggling and allowed him to take her to his car. But she
Ivan was looking through some documents when she came in. He looked up at her with a calm expression."Me? What is wrong with me?" He asked with a smile at the corner of his lips. He was right to think that she would come here today."Aah..." Natalie said and turned around to run. She did not need the contract anymore. Why was it him in that office?However, a clicking sound was heard and the door was locked. Looking behind her, she saw him holding a remote. His lips were still raised."Come here," Ivan said as he pointed at the space beside him.But the stubborn Natalie shook her head continuously. She did not know why she felt like she was scared of him all of a sudden.Ivan did not say another word. Instead, he stood up and began walking towards her. If she did not want to go to him, then he would go for her.Natalie trembled and took some steps backwards, but her back hit the cold wall behind her. And she knew that she had reached a dead end."You... Don't come near me," she said i
Luca swallowed hard as he looked at the man walking towards them. Wait... Why was he coming from the President's office?"President Dione..." He said fearfully. It seemed like something had happened. Ivan was their new president!Ivan ignored him and stopped beside Natalie. He turned her around and checked if she was fine. "Did he do anything to you?" He asked.Natalie was so tensed that she could not even speak. But seeing the look of shock on Luca's face, she felt a bit better.She shook her head hurriedly. "I am fine," she said.Ivan nodded and turned to look at Luca. "Find the right people to ask about your father, not her," he said, his voice so cold.Then, like the man did not care about anything else, he held Natalie's hand. " Let us go."Luca moved his mouth as if to speak, but no words left his mouth. He could not just believe it!Didn't his dad say that the relationship between Natalie and Ivan was completely destroyed? Why were they together now?He cursed! Why would she be
WARNING: THE CHAPTER CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT He was feeling so bad that she would dare think about leaving his house. He would do his best to prevent her from leaving. And if it was a must for her to leave, then he would want to leave with her.He pressed her down and ignored her protests. And when he looked into her fearful eyes, he sighed."It is useless to get mad at you, Natalie," he said. "Tell me, why do you have this effect on me? What should I do about it?"Natalie shook her head in confusion. She could not understand what it was that he was talking about.Ivan pursed his lips when she did not speak up. He ran his finger over her lips. "Since you chose to remain mute around me, I want to make you talk, baby," he said with a playful smile at the corner of his lips.Natalie gasped when the man held her face and began kissing her. But he was not gentle even once.He immediately bit on her lower lips, and Natalie cried out in pain. She put her hands on his chest to push him away.
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT CONTINUESIvan groaned when he felt her tiny body pressed hard against him. He held her hands again and kissed her deeply.He took off all of her clothes in one swift movement and admired the beauty of her body. He had completely forgotten about his initial plan; to torture her.Natalie kept moaning, looking at him with her pleading eyes. She hoped that he did not keep on wasting time.Ivan saw her expression and smiled. He grabbed her breasts and played with them. He pinched them, squeezed them and sucked them.Natalie moaned until her voice was hoarse and she was rubbing her legs together.But he did not touch her there. Yes, he was not planning to do it so soon. Did ste think that she was in control?Natalie struggled against him. "Mmn... Ivan..." She cried. Why was this man always bullying her?"Yes?" Ivan said playfully and continued playing with her upper body. "Can you tell me what you want me to do?"Natalie's tears fell from her eyes. This man was bully
When Natalie opened her eyes, she remembered everything that had happened.She took in a deep breath and covered her face in shame. ' What did you do, Natalie?' She felt like disowning herself.What came into her to the point that she decided to do such a thing? She had disgraced herself!She hit her head on the pillow several times. She would have done it on the wall, but she was scared of pain.She hugged herself tighter. How was she ever going to face that man again? She had completely ruined her reputation.Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Natalie immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. She could not look at that man!Ivan walked into the room with a smile on his face. But looking at the person on the bed, his lips moved a bit.That was crazy again! He put the plate of food he was holding on the side and sat next to her."Open your eyes and stop pretending to be asleep, little cat," Ivan said, and turned to her so that she was looking at his side.Natalie wanted
Black and Ivan looked at each other before turning to Natalie. Ivan cleared his throat. “Honey, I recently found out that Black wasn't the person that killed my family. It was June and her accomplices!“Five years ago, Black really did have intentions of killing Ivan and the whole of his family. But his first aim was Ivan, and that was the reason why he sent Natalie to kill him. His family, back in the country, were out for a night. Black was prepared to attack, because Ivan was away and he would not be there to protect them. But an hour earlier, he received information that they were already killed.After gathering information, Ivan had recently realized that June was behind everything. Despite being around and pretending to be a naive and innocent girl, she had caused more havoc.She had killed, thinking that the company belonged to Ivan's dad. To her shock, it was Ivan who owned it. So she lost. She was not able to put her hands on the company.Luckily, she was now behind doors. I
The old lady chuckled. “I was so stupid! How could I not differentiate between someone with a good heart like you from those full of bad intentions? Instead of protecting him, I exposed all of us to danger. Please forgive me…”Natalie, who had never had any experience of an elderly person apologizing, did not know what she was supposed to say. She pursed her lips in fear.The old lady sighed. “I am not saying all this because you saved my life. I just think I was too blind in the past not to see the good in you. Please, take good care of my grandson, and my great grandchildren!“Natalie was just so shocked. She had not expected that things would be this easy after so much struggle. That meant that the old lady was blessing her marriage with Ivan, right?She lifted her eyes to look at Ivan, and seeing the broad smile on his face, Natalie relaxed. Everything was fine. They were finally going to be together without any difficulties.Ivan winked at her, and Natalie could not help but roll
The doctor sighed with disappointment. “You don't know it? That thing that healed you!“ He was not sure if the girl was just pretending or she really knew nothing about it.Natalie shook her head. “Wait… I think I was wounded! What happened? What is that Gello you are talking about?“ She asked.The doctor sighed. “When you were brought here, we all thought you were going to die! You had wounds, you had lost a lot of blood and you were almost losing your child. But… that thing they gave you… it healed you in less than ten minutes…”Even though Natalie was pretending not to know anything about Gello, she was shocked to hear that she was healed like that. “Doctor, are you sure about what you are talking about?“ “Yes… it happened… He just wrapped it around your hand…” The doctor had begun speaking when the door was pulled open and two men walked in. Trevor went directly to the doctor and held his hand. “Doctor, would you mind us having a small talk?“ He asked while pulling him out, not
Natalie froze up. She waited for the excruciating pain, then maybe, death. She had been so sure that June had shot her straight in the chest. She would be dead in just a few seconds.However, after a few seconds, nothing happened. She did not get any pain either. Confused, she opened her eyes.“Natalie…” Someone called her. All she could hear and see were the movements of people here and there.But her eyes caught one person who was running towards her direction. “Natalie… are you okay?“ Ivan asked as he pulled her into his arms.Due to the pressure he applied, Natalie winced in pain. Her body was covered in several wounds due to the torture that these people had inflicted on her. She saw June lying on the ground, her gun some distance away from her.“You are hurt! Quickly, call an ambulance!“ Ivan ordered as he tried to untie her. Trevor and a few other men were checking up on the old lady.“Ivan… you came…” Natalie said in shock. She had not expected him to be back that quickly. But
Carter opened his eyes when he heard Natalie's voice. “Mommy…” he called between cries as he struggled. His mommy was finally there to save him.Natalie hurriedly untied him and pulled him into his hands. “You are fine now…”“Mommy…. Save great grandma. She is in the backyard. Auntie June has a gun…” Carter said the moment he remembered what had happened.Natalie shook. “It's okay,” she said and carried Carter to the room where she had locked Melan. “She will protect you,” Natalie whispered to Carter.She handed Carter to Melan. “Melan, don't open the door until I come back. Don't make any noise,” she said while trembling.“Sister… will you be safe?“ Melan asked in fear. Natalie hurriedly nodded and locked the door behind her, leaving.She ran upstairs to Ivan's room and took out her phone. Luckily, Ivan hurriedly picked him up when she called him.“Natalie…” Ivan called. “Did something happen? I am done here. I am taking the plane soon…”“Ivan… hurry up! Grandma is in danger!“ Natal
When Black came back to the room, Natalie wanted to keep her distance from him. If this man could send his wife away without blinking, what was he not capable of?Black sighed seeing her action. “Daughter, I sent her away to make up for what we caused you to go through in the past,” he spoke up. “Please, forgive me…”Still, Natalie could not fully understand if the man had changed or he was just pretending. “Why did you bring me back?“ She asked at last. She wanted to end things as fast as possible. She wanted to go back to Ivan and Carter.Black took a seat beside her. “I heard about your break up with Ivan… that man has wronged you. I am your father. I had to come for you. I will help you carry out revenge if you want to…”Natalie pretended to be really heartbroken. “But… why are you two fighting?“ She asked. She was still mad that the man had pretended that the break up had nothing to do with him.Black was silent for a while. “ We were fighting in the past, not anymore. I won't li
…Natalie's eyes widened when she woke up on an unfamiliar bed, her mind finally connecting the dots. The room she found herself in was lavish and spacious, a real contrast to the small, cramped space she had been forced to inhabit in the past in this house. The memories of the mistreatment she endured flooded her mind, making her feel annoyed and anger about those two people that called themselves parents.She moved, and her body ached. She could not help but wince in pain. She had expected to be taken away by Black, but the fact that they had sedated her before bringing her here spoke volumes about their intentions. It was as if they didn't even want to give her the chance to fight back or escape.Her thoughts were interrupted as the door was pushed open, and a woman around forty years old stepped inside the room. The woman's eyes widened in disbelief as they landed on Natalie, and she let out a horrified scream."Aaaah!" the woman shrieked, her hands flying to her mouth as if to st
Natalie tried to sit up, her concern immediately shifting to the boy who had accidentally knocked her off her feet. "The boy who just knocked me off... Is he okay?" she asked, showing her compassionate nature even in her own moment of distress.Ivan scanned the crowd and locked eyes with the worried boy. He noticed the blood on the boy's hand and pursed his lips. "Someone check up on the boy," he instructed, and the people around quickly rushed to help him.Still feeling disoriented, Natalie held onto Ivan's hand. "Can you help me up?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly."Of course," Ivan replied hurriedly, carefully assisting her to her feet. He guided her away from the gathering crowd and led her towards the car, where they could have some privacy.As they distanced themselves from the scene, Ivan noticed Natalie's expression changing. Her eyes turned red, and sadness enveloped her face. He gently helped her into the car, his heart aching for her."Are you feeling hurt anywhere?
Ivan woke up with Natalie in his hands, a broad smile appearing on his face as he looked at her sleeping face. He brought his hands to her face and gently caressed her, feeling the sense of peace that he had missed for days.Natalie's eyes fluttered when something kept moving on her face. Slowly, she opened her eyes and met a man's warm gaze. She snuggled closer to him, a smile on her face. "Good morning, beast," she greeted him jokingly.Ivan smiled and pinched her nose. "You look so happy today. Did that mean that I satisfied you well last night?" He joked back.Natalie buried her face into his chest to hide away her embarrassment. "Can't you just talk like a normal person?" She asked and pinched his waist playfully.Ivan hurriedly held her hand. "Stop messing around unless you want to awaken the beast again," he said, and kissed her lips lovingly.Natalie smiled, her cheeks flushed. She seemed to have thought of something and sat up. "Um... Black will be taking me today, right?" She
