Her facial expression changed immediately he said it and put his hands around my waist but she started smiling almost immediately as though nothing happened.“Oh, Ella. I didn't see you there” she said in disdain.Yeah right, because I'm invincible.“Miranda” I nodded at her with a tight smile while she eyed me like I was a rotten piece of meat.“How is Sandra?” she smirked thinking she had struck a nerve not knowing I don't give two shits about a certain boyfriend stealing bitch. “She should be fine” I answered, smiling sweetly at her.“Oh right, I'm sorry. You wouldn't know. You guys broke it off on a bad note. I'm really sorry about Linc though. I never trusted him to start with.” Is she being serious now?“Yeah, thanks for summarising the events that have occurred in my life in the past one month. You really are keeping tabs on me.” I rose an eye at her.“Word travels fast.” she smirked.“Ivs, I'm sure she wouldn't mind if we danced a little” she placed her hand on his arm.“Um, N

Third person's P.O.V“You're too slow son, too slow” the first man said disappointedly while the other man rolled his eyes discreetly.“It's a slow process, you of all people should know this”“A slow process that's getting to two months?! This is a snail's pace. We need to act fast and you are the way to the first step of this plan and you haven't done anything!” the first man boomed.“I'm doing my best” the other man said through gritted teeth, his anger rising slowly.“Doing your best” the first man mimicked. “You just have to be fast so we can get to the F.B.I and get this over with”“I would put more effort” the other man said calmly.“Sometimes I wonder why and how you are related to me” the first man said dismissively.“Like I'm happy doing this” the other one muttered under his breath as the first one angrily left the room.Ella's P.O.V“And the ship has finally sailed!” Jade screamed jumping around excitedly after I told her of everything that happened in the party.“We need t

“So Ivy, huh?” Ivan said with his eyes trained on the road and a hint of a smile on his lips.“It slipped” I said sheepishly, blushing.“Oh, it slipped. Meaning that's what you've been calling me in your mind all this while” he said finally laughing out.“Why are you making it such a big deal?” I pouted playfully.“Because, you're embarrassed about it and I don't want you to be. You can call me anything you want and I'll be fine with it” he looked at me and smiled sweetly then he took my hand and held it on his thigh, rubbing soothing circles. “But Ivy is my favourite” he grinned looking back at the road.“How can you choose Ivy as your favourite when you haven't even heard the others?” I laughed“Ouuu, so there are others, huh? Tell me, I want to hear all of them” he said wiggling his eyebrows.“Oh my God, you're impossible” I laughed covering my face with my free hand.“I was just saying! There isn't any other one” I laughed more.“Okay, if you say so” he grinned.★“Babe, we're her

I woke up half wrapped in a blanket on the bed with the AC blasting cool air. I could only remember feeling sleepy on Ivan’s laps in the sitting room. He must have carried me up.The thought made me smile.I didn’t see Ivan around so I freshened up in the bathroom before I set out to look for him downstairs.He wasn’t in the kitchen or sitting room so I started going down the passage that leads to the back door to check him there when I saw my dad’s office open.I entered the room and found Ivan looking at books on my dad’s wall to wall and floor to ceiling book shelf.“Hey” I said stopping to rest my hand on my dad’s desk. He turned swiftly with a book in his hand, a little bit startled.“Nuts” he said giving me his contagious one million watts smile. “You’re up, you slept well, yeah?” He asked putting the book back on the shelf where it belonged.“Like a baby” I smiled as Ivan open his arms for a hug. “I was just going to the back to look for

“One of these two things will have to happen; either you delete the picture or you lock it up in a hidden folder never to see the light of the day”“But I want to see it first thing every morning; it would be in a frame on my bed side table, what do you say?”“Nope, no way Ivy; I really hope you’re joking” I panted.I didn’t remember this route being this long. I convinced Ivan to come swimming with me at the lake Dad used to fish in when ever we spent a weekend here. Well, it didn’t take much to convince him; I brought up the idea of swimming and he was up for it. “So long as I see you in a bikini” were his exact words laced with his legendary undies dropping wink.Pervert much.“I honestly feel like we’re lost” I complained as my sandals crunched on dried leaves and twigs behind Ivan who was somehow leading the way to somewhere he’s never been to but with my directions guiding him.“I hear water! We must be close” he said excitedly holding my hand -which he hadn’t left since we ente

THIRD PERSON POV:The same three people are in a dimly lit office. The older man sat at the table while the younger man stood in front of him along side the woman.“Any progress? Or did you just go away for a fuck?” The older man sneered.“Eros” The woman cautioned lightly.“It’s fine mum” the younger man intervened and turned to Eros “I’ve gotten the password and I’ll get the documents when they’re celebrating the African establishment…Dad” his throat tight with swallowed anger and frustration.“I’m pretty sure he got it from fucking her; at least he’s good for something -fucking all that wears a skirt” he laughed menacingly.“Eros” his wife warned while Ivan’s fists clenched.“You don’t fucking say that about her!” all his neck and arm veins bulging while he turned red.“Someone has fallen in love, eh?” Eros stood to sit at the edge of his desk.“You know what? This shit is shady as fuck and you’re obviously not being truthful. Why don’t we let the right authorities do the dirty work

Linc’s pov:I woke up feeling so low -just as I’ve felt for the last few months. My blinds were closed haphazardly, letting little rays of light to seep in. I was still fully dressed from the party I went to last night. Everything was a blur, I could only remember drinking myself into oblivion.Waking up was pointless; it was just another day to feel down in the dumps with no hope and light at the end of the tunnel.The light filtering in from the blinds were disturbing and just as I grabbed my blanket to cover my face because what’s the point in waking up, mum called me to have breakfast.No matter the fact that everything was going downhill, mum made sure to put the family together. We always had breakfast and dinner together; the littlest things count. With the need to make mum feel like she’s really holding us all together, I hurriedly took off my clothes from last night and put on fresh nighties so that they wouldn’t know that I wasn’t in my room after dinner.On getting to the ki

Ivan’s pov:It was the night of the party, Dad wanted us to arrive in one car but I insisted on using my car because only then will I and Mum’s first plan work.“When we get there, go immediately and get the documents; your mum and I will distract the Thompsons” dad grumbled to me before his chauffeur drove off.I got to the party a few minutes after mum and dad and they were already involved in a conversation with the Thompsons as I arrived but Ella wasn’t there. I walked over to them, exchanged pleasantries and took an excuse to ‘find Ella’; when in the real sense I was going to find Mr. Thompson’s office and then the documents.The ground floor of the Thompson’s home was huge. You could literally get lost from just looking for the toilet. There were so many doors, so many walls and so many corners.Every door I opened just wasn’t his office; I was starting to get frustrated. I had finished checking all the rooms in a particular hallway and I was rounding the corner to check more roo

Ivan’s pov:“Call me when you get home”“I will Babe” I kissed her forehead and watched her go in and close the door.Everybody had left the party; I didn’t think we stayed that long at the garden.I got in my car, checked under the passenger’s seat to make sure the documents were still there, and thankfully they were.I headed home at once to meet my mum in the living room, still wearing her clothes from the party.“Where’s dad?” “He left for New York, he’s expecting you there tomorrow, bright and early” she sounded tired.“Of course, he wastes no time” I muttered,unbuttoning the first few buttons of my dress shirt. I felt choked.“And the plan?”“I’ve got the security footage in a flash drive, I’ve called a lawyer, divorce papers will be mailed to him next tomorrow and the replica is on your bed with a body cam”“Awesome, I guess I’ll retire now… I’ve got a long day tomorrow” I moved to kiss her head.“The movers are coming tomorrow too, don’t worry about packing, I’ll do that for

Ella’s Pov:Jade and I went to grab some food from the buffet table.I was so done with greeting guests plus any guest I hadn’t greeted was probably a late comer.“I love a good cocktail party” I beamed, slowly twirling my glass of non-alcoholic beverage.“The food makes it even better” Jade said with a mouth full of muffin.“Yeah” I said absentmindedly as I scanned the guests for Ivan. He left once Jade arrived.“Have you seen Ivan though?” I asked her still scanning the crowd.“Come to think of it, I actually haven’t” she wiped her mouth after finishing her fourth? Or fifth muffin. “Ugh, if I take another one of these tempting disguise of a runny stomach, I might spend the rest of my life in the toilet and then I’ll miss your wedding” Jade said, pushing the tray of muffins away from her.“Whose wedding aren’t we attending?” Joshua approached us. I really thought he wasn’t going to make it to the party.“Joshua! You made it” I grinned at him and he gave me a side hug.“Yeah, I did” he
