Damian's eyes narrowed as he listened to Ivy's explanation, suspicion lingering in his gaze. "So you're telling me that you just happened to receive a call from an unknown number and ended up here, where I was tied up? Are you expecting me to believe that?"
Ivy's voice wavered as she tried to maintain her composure, her eyes darting between Damian and Gwen. "Damian, I swear, I had no idea what I was walking into. The call was anonymous, and I thought it was a mistake. But when I saw you here, I couldn't just leave you like this."
A mix of frustration and confusion washed over Damian's face. He struggled to break free from his restraints, his voice filled with a combination of anger and disbelief. "This doesn't make any sense. How can I trust either of you? What is the truth here?"
Gwen, realizing the weight of the situation, took a step forward, her vo
Ivy kept staring at Gwen from the driver's seat as she drove through the main streets, she had insisted on taking Damian to another hospital and not the one owned by sebastian.Even though she only tried to look at Gwen with her side eye, to try and communicate something to her, it was obvious to Damian as he stared at the both of them from behind the front seats.Even though he wasn't badly hurt he held his sides and winced anytime the car came to an abrupt stop. He had been dehydrated for almost two days and had deliberately refused to eat, something that had left Gwen frustrated all through the time they kept him captive."Why aren't we going to the other hospital?" Damian repeated, his voice filled with a mixture of confusion, and slight concern. Ivy met his gaze through the rearview mirror but remained silent, refusing to provide an answer. Her mind was racing with fear and desperation as s
"What are you talking about, Damian?" Ivy stammered, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and denial. She desperately tried to hide her shaking hands, knowing that Damian had caught on to her vulnerability.A smile played on Damian's lips as he observed Ivy's visible unease. "You're shaking, Ivy," he pointed out, relishing in the power he now held over her. He couldn't help but notice the tear in his bleeding lips widening, a painful reminder of the ordeal he had endured. "Look at all this," he continued, gesturing to his battered appearance, from his bleeding lip to his bruised ankles. "I know you had something to do with it. Your girl gave you away, what's her name again... Gwen."The weight of Damian's accusation crashed down on Ivy like a ton of bricks. She felt a knot tighten in her stomach as she realized that her involvement had been exposed. The name Gwen hung in the air, a te
As Rose stepped out of the company, she felt a mix of relief and apprehension. The absence of Sebastian's presence in the office that morning had left her with an unsettling feeling. Despite everything she had discovered about him, the magnetic pull he had on her was undeniable. She couldn't help but feel a strange attraction towards him, a sensation that both intrigued and frightened her.As she walked through the bustling streets, her thoughts swirled like a tempest inside her mind. She couldn't fathom how she could still be drawn to someone she knew was capable of such darkness. The very thought of it sent shivers down her spine, yet it was as if a part of her yearned to understand him, to decipher the enigma that he presented.Her heart felt like a battleground, torn between reason and emotion. The rational side of her knew that she should distance herself from Sebasti
Max gripped the steering wheel tightly as he drove towards the police station. His mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Rose, her tear-stained face lingering in his memory. He couldn't shake the image of her vulnerability, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of concern for her well-being.Turning down the music in his car, Mark tried to focus on the road ahead. He knew he had to be careful not to appear intrusive or overbearing. He cared deeply for Rose, and the temptation to follow her every move was strong, but he also understood the importance of giving her space and respecting her boundaries.As he continued to drive, his thoughts drifted back to their last encounter. He had seen her at Emily's place, and it seemed like she was going through a difficult time. He wondered if there was something he could do to help, but he knew he had to tread carefully. Their history
Ivy sat silently as Sebastian drove the car, his sleeve was folded up to his elbow and his muscular arms could be seen as he held the steering wheel tightly, there was no smile on his face as he drove, his gaze was fixed on the road.They made a few stops as they met officers by the way who asked Sebastian questions. They didn't stay too long as Sebastian was well known he had told them that he was alone, his tinted windows were rolled up and there was no way to see that there was someone else inside the car with him. "Take care Mr Wayne". One of the officers said enthusiastically, proud to have spoken with the legendary CEO of the Wayne group, sheba's only nodded, maintaining a straight face which was nevertheless attractive.He had forced Ivy into his car at the garageSebastian's heart raced with a mix of fury and con
" One thing we know for sure is that this was murder, and we know that it's bad… really bad". Chief Raphael said. " More like the killer wanted us to know that she was killed".Max and Lark both stared at themselves."Who is the victim sir?". Max asked. The chief was silent for a while, he looked nervous, his protruding stomach behind his desk was still visible, he brought out his handkerchief and wiped his face. "The victim is Ivy''. Chief Raphael said. "Ivy Rain, the daughter of the CEO of the Rain group". Both Max and Lark stared at each other the second time, none of them knew the victim, but Max couldn't shake the feeling that something was definitely not right with this one.The weight of Chief Raphael's words hung heavily in the air, a somber silence enveloping the room. Max and Lark exchanged a knowing glance, their minds racing wi
Rose's heart raced as she stepped into Sebastian's room, uncertain of what she might discover. Her mind was filled with a mix of emotions—curiosity, fear, and a lingering sadness that she couldn't shake off. She knew that going through his personal space might feel invasive, but she couldn't resist the urge to understand the man she once felt she knew so well.As she searched the room, gently opening drawers and looking through shelves, she tried to keep her emotions in check. Memories of happier times flooded her mind, reminding her of the closeness they once shared. But those memories were now clouded by the events that had led to their estrangement.Feeling a mix of fear and determination, Rose moved closer to the bed, where she noticed a button slightly hidden beneath the edge of the mattress. Instinctively, she pressed it, not knowing what to expec
As the day drew to a close at the police station, Max couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in his gut. The connection between Mr. Wayne, Ivy, and Rose played on his mind like a haunting melody. He knew that something wasn't right, and he was determined to get to the bottom of it.Chief Raphael had asked them to continue the investigation the next day, and Max was grateful for the chance to delve deeper into the case. He couldn't rest until he had uncovered the truth behind Ivy's murder and the secrets that seemed to tie her, Rose, and Mr. Wayne together.As the other officers went their separate ways, Max noticed that Lark left before him, seemingly deep in thought. He wondered if Lark was also wrestling with the complexities of the case.Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Max walked towards his car. He opened the do
