View MoreChapter 101Parker Wellington ~•~Two days! It had been two days since I last heard anything from Ivy. The last time we spoke was when I called to apologize about Mika. All my calls went straight to voicemail and she wouldn’t even respond to my texts. I thought we were cool. I thought she had forgiven me and moved past our last issue. But I guess that I was wrong. Ivy was giving me the silent treatment and it was killing me. I had tried my best to reach out to her but it was just a waste of time. Why did she have to punish me like that? I didn’t even do anything wrong. I decided to take a step back and wait for her until she was ready to reach out to me. Maybe she just needed space to process everything that happened. Her silence affected me so badly that I couldn’t even focus properly on work. I had made a few mistakes with some of the figures and even as I tried to correct them, I still couldn’t concentrate. “Are you done?” My assistant’s voice echoed after she knocked gen
Chapter 100Ivy Chase ~•~Throughout my time at work, my eyes kept drifting back to my phone. I was hoping to see a text or call from Parker. But there was nothing. I felt an excruciating pain in my chest. The suspense was killing me. I couldn’t bring myself to believe that Parker was ignoring me. Even if he didn’t want to be honest with me, why hasn’t he called to check up on me?I felt so frustrated. On my way back home, I decided I would call him. The lack of communication was messing up my mental health. If I wanted to be happy, I needed to get answers from Parker. But just as I stepped into my house, my phone started ringing. I rummaged through my bag and pulled it out. I let out a relieved sigh when I saw that it was Parker who was calling me. “Hey.” My voice was tight as I answered the phone. “Ivy, how are you doing?” Parker asked, his voice soft and careful. I let out a humorless chuckle. “You tell me.” I rolled my eyes even though he wasn’t in the house with me. “How
Chapter 99Ivy Chase ~•~I had been in a shitty mood throughout the previous day because of Parker. I even slept angry and when I woke up, I checked my phone and realized that I still hadn’t gotten any text or calls from him. My brows knitted into a frown as I tossed my phone back on my bed. So Parker didn’t want to give me any explanation after what I had heard? I felt so terrible. As I stood up from my bed, I debated calling him to demand an explanation, but I shook my head and went to the bathroom instead. He knew what he was doing. I didn’t have to remind him that he was alone with a female whom he hadn’t told me about. It was even worse because she was cooking for him. I mean, food is one of the fastest ways to a man’s heart. I couldn’t believe that he allowed me to go to bed without saying anything. Or did he think that I didn't hear the lady’s voice? Was it because I didn’t confront him or say anything? Why did I always find myself in difficult positions when it came
Chapter 98Parker Wellington~•~Mika was persistent in following me back home to make a proper dish for me. I didn’t know what to do and had no idea when I just gave in and allowed her to enter my car. I guess I was tired of her constant bugging. We didn’t have to hang out, she would just stay in the kitchen. And I figured that she would stop bothering me if I let her cook what she wanted. “Such a nice apartment. Is the company also paying for this?” She asked as we stepped into the living room. “You are really getting the special treatment, huh?” I forced a smile. “I guess so.” “Wow.” She continued as her eyes darted around the living room. I wouldn’t blame her for admiring the house. The interior was screaming luxury and elegance. When I was moving to Japan, I wasn’t expecting them to give me such a comfortable apartment. I mean, I even had plans to buy my own house in case I didn’t like the living situation. But to my surprise, it was decent. “I’ll drop the shopping bags
Chapter 97Ivy Chase~•~As I was about to leave the house the next morning, I ran into my mother at the door. “I’ll walk you to your car.” She said as I stepped out to the front door. I exhaled sharply. “I already know what you want to talk about and I’m sorry about my behavior. Serena’s too. She was just trying to defend me.” My mother let out a wistful sigh. “You remember what I told you and your sister? I won’t stop inviting them to these events until you get along with them.” She responded, her voice calm. “Family is the only thing that matters. And you have to be united.” I closed my eyes briefly and cleared my throat. “Okay, mum.” It wasn’t the first time she had said those words to me. I had been trying to get along with them but I just lost it this time around. The rest of the dinner became awkward and nobody enjoyed themselves anymore. My father even tried to salvage the situation by bringing light-hearted conversations. But it didn’t change anything. I was the happies
Chapter 96Ivy Chase~•~I knew I had to reach out to Parker when I realized that he called my mother and asked her to convince me to answer my phone. He must’ve been really desperate to do that. I understood that he was just insecure and didn’t mean what he said to me. But I still wanted him to know that it wasn’t okay. After my mother told me about it, I wanted to call him but I decided to wait until later. We were busy preparing for my birthday dinner, so my attention was divided. I didn’t even get the chance to head back to my apartment. Even when I told my mother that I wanted to go back to grab a dress. She refused, asking me to wear something from Serena’s closet. My mother thought I was just trying to get away from the dinner. Even though it was against my will, I wasn’t such a horrible person. I wouldn’t ditch her when she already invited her guests. After a few hours of preparation, we were finally done. “I didn’t picture my day to be like this,” I grunted as my sis
Chapter 95Parker Wellington ~•~After Ivy hung up the call on me, I tried calling her a few more times but she didn’t answer her phone. I didn’t stop there, I also sent her a bunch of apology texts. But she still didn’t respond. I had no choice but to call her mother. I knew she would hate me for it, but it was my last resort. As I called her, a low breath escaped my lips. I was nervous and unsure of how she would respond. Soon enough, the line connected and I pressed the phone to my ear. “Hey, how are you doing?” My voice was measured as I asked. “Parker?” Her surprised voice echoed from the other end of the line. “What’s going on? How is Japan? I hope everything is good.” I smiled at her kind response. “Sure, everything is great,” I replied, my voice convincing. “Thank you for asking,” I added, expressing gratitude. “So what do I owe this unexpected call?” She asked, her voice laced with curiosity. Ivy’s mother was surprised because I barely called her phone. Letting out
Chapter 94Ivy Chase~•~Initially, I didn’t want to go out to celebrate my birthday. But Parker and Serena convinced me to do something fun. For the past months, I had been drowning myself in work and barely had time for my social life. I didn’t even try to make any new friends like Parker had advised. I decided that it wouldn’t hurt to go out for one day. Even though it wasn’t what I wanted to do, I just did it. Since Parker wasn’t around to celebrate with me, I had to celebrate with other people. But that turned out to be my biggest mistake. I drank too much and had no idea how I ended up in a stranger’s arms. I mean, we didn’t do anything. We just danced together. But someone took a photo of me and the man, then sent it to Parker. I had no idea who did it or why they did it. Now, Parker wouldn’t stop blowing up my phone with calls and text messages. I was still having a migraine and wasn’t in the right headspace to speak to him. He wouldn’t stop calling, so I had no choice b
Chapter 93Parker Wellington ~•~“Oh my goodness, Parker!” Ivy exclaimed from the other end of the phone. “I wasn’t expecting you to do anything for me today.” A soft chuckle escaped my lips. “Why wouldn’t I do something nice for my girlfriend on her birthday?” I asked, leaning back on my chair. “I had it planned even before I left for Japan.” Ivy exhaled sharply. “Wow, I’m so happy. Thank you so much, Parker.” She expressed her gratitude. “This means so much to me.” I smiled. “It’s nothing, Ivy,” I replied, rubbing my temple. “You deserve more, baby,” I added, my heart swelling at her appreciation. “How can I ever repay you?” “You don’t have to do anything. Being my girlfriend is enough.” I assured her. “Go ahead and enjoy the rest of your day, I’ll call you later.” “Sure, I will.” She replied. “I can’t wait to see you. These past three months have been the most difficult time of my life.” I raised a brow even though she couldn’t see me. “Are you sure?” I asked, my voice skep
Ivy Chase~•~“You’re lying!” I hissed through gritted teeth as I pulled the blanket closer to my body. “There’s no way I’ll ever sleep with you!” Parker leaned against the dresser with a mischievous grin plastered across his face. His eyes sparkled with mockery and he folded his arms. “Oh sweetheart, you didn’t just sleep with me, you practically begged for it.” “You’re a disgusting liar!” I spat at him, not wanting to believe what he was saying. “It’s not possible. It can’t be possible!” Parker laughed, a cold, mocking laughter. “I’m not even sure if you’re pretending that you don’t remember or you actually don’t remember.” I honestly couldn’t remember any events from the previous night. My memory was scrambled and my head hurt as I tried to recall everything that happened. Even if it was difficult to remember, I was certain that I couldn’t have slept with Parker. If I did, it meant I cheated on my boyfriend with his biggest rival. And that would be really bad! I hope it was ...
