Falling For The Enemy 11
Ivy Chase ~•~ Before I could even utter any word to express my panic, the person in the driver’s seat introduced himself. “I’m his driver, he sent me to go after you.” I let out a deep breath I didn’t realize I had been holding. My heart had already flown out of my chest. But now, I was relieved knowing it was just his driver. I was a bit disappointed because I wanted it to be him. Anyway, I was happy to know that I was safe and wasn’t in the wrong car. But I was still confused about why he sent his driver after me. I didn’t even get the chance to ask my question before he continued speaking. “The boss told me to take you to the rapist.” He said as he started the car engine. Why did he change his mind all of a sudden? “Why?” I asked with a hint of remorse in my voice. Parker clearly didn’t want me to go after the man. But he still chose to help me even though I was being difficult. Maybe going after him wasn’t the best decision. “He said people like that won’t tell

Chapter 12 Ivy Chase ~•~ Even though the thought about everything looked scary, I knew that it was the right decision. It would hurt but it was the best thing to do. I would eventually get over it even if it wasn’t going to be easy. I couldn’t just overlook everything that had happened and continue to stay in a relationship with him. I wasn’t happy and I needed to let him go. My eyes glanced over to my watch as I waited for Sebastian to come downstairs. I had been sitting on his couch for a few minutes. Earlier in the day, I texted him to let him know that I was going to his house. I couldn’t risk visiting him unannounced anymore. After what happened the last time, I wasn’t ready to see anything that would hurt me. A few minutes later, he came downstairs to the living room. It took everything in me to hold myself from breaking down as I watched him descend the stairs. As I saw him, my mind wandered back to the time I walked into him having sex with Zara. No matter how

Chapter 13 Ivy Chase ~•~ Just as I was about to step out of the house, I retrieved my phone from my bag and called Parker. The phone rang continuously but he still didn’t respond. I took it as a hint that he was upset and still didn’t want to speak to me. I went ahead to text him before getting into my ride, hoping he would respond. Since he didn’t want to talk on the phone, I figured he wanted to speak to me in person. I knew I messed up but I didn’t deserve to get the silent treatment for so long. The ride to his workplace was just a twenty-minute ride. Throughout the ride, I reflected on my actions and knew he didn’t deserve all those things I had said to him. I had no idea where he lived, so I had no choice but to ambush him at work. As I got there, I tried calling him a few more times but I still didn’t get any response. Letting out a deep breath, I walked into the reception and asked to meet with Parker. The receptionist instructed me to sit and wait in the waiting

Chapter 14 Ivy Chase ~•~ [ I hope you love the dress I sent, I’ll pick you up by 7:00pm.] I couldn’t hold back a scoff as Sebastian’s text message flashed across my screen. Ever since I tried to break up with him, he has been acting unusually. It was normal for us to go on dinner dates, but during the past couple of weeks, we hadn’t actually gone out for dinner. The only time we had tried it recently was when I asked to speak to him and he took me to a fancy restaurant. The dinner didn’t even go as planned because it got ruined by our constant argument. I couldn’t help but wonder why Sebastian was acting sweet all of a sudden. Did he actually want to work things out or did he just want me to be tied to him? Either way, I wasn’t sure it was going to work. Even if I continued to pretend like I was happy in the relationship, it was just like a ticking time bomb. After finding out about his betrayal, I couldn’t look at him the same way anymore. Magically transforming in

Chapter 15Ivy Chase~•~Parker and I hadn’t really talked after I angrily stormed out of his office, so I was curious to see the text message he had sent. Just as I was about to unlock my phone and read the text, Sebastian’s voice interrupted me. “It’s rude to be on your phone during a date.” He said in a calm and gentle voice. Letting out a sigh, I dropped my phone on the table and focused on eating my food. Throughout the dinner, my mind was on the text message I had received.Was Parker finally ready to forgive me? Or was he now interested in hearing my apology? I realized that I had gotten too comfortable with Parker and was expecting him to act a certain type of way. I had set standards and expectations that I became disappointed when he didn’t act exactly how I wanted him to act. Anyway, I couldn’t wait for dinner to be over, so I could finally read his text. About an hour later, we were finally done with dinner. “You have been surprisingly quiet and absent-minded. Is ther

Chapter 16 Ivy Chase ~•~ I rang the doorbell multiple times but Zara refused to answer the door. I was a hundred percent sure she was inside the house because I did my findings before visiting unannounced. I didn’t call or text her to let her know I was coming because I didn’t want her to give me any excuse or anything that could delay my confrontation. Even if she wasn’t answering, I still didn’t give up. I kept on hitting the door and ringing the doorbell. How long could she hide inside her house? I wasn’t ready to leave without getting answers. Since she was pretending like she couldn’t hear me knock, I decided to call her. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she genuinely wasn’t hearing the incessant knocks on the door. As I called her phone, she answered on the third ring. I was shocked because I didn’t expect her to answer the phone. “I’m outside your house, please come and open the door,” I said before she could even say anything. She yawned. “Are y

Chapter 17 Ivy Chase ~•~ Sebastian’s eyes darted over to me. He looked at me with a mixture of shock and surprise. “What is she talking about?” He asked with a hint of amusement in his voice. Zara had a triumphant look on her face. “Are you going to deny it? Huh?” She asked with her newfound confidence. A few minutes ago, she couldn’t even form a coherent sentence. I was too stunned to speak. It was as if I was in a room with a different person. I thought I knew my best friend, but I had no clue who she even was. The way she switched up was terrifying. “Ivy, did you sleep with somebody?” Sebastian asked, his voice firm. Before I could even say anything, Zara responded. “Yes, she did! She cheated on you at that party!” She sounded like she was so sure about what she was saying. I didn’t even try to defend myself or anything. I was still trying to process what was going on. What was Zara doing? Why was she doing it? Sebastian turned to me. “Ivy, can you please say som

Chapter 18 Ivy Chase ~•~ Sebastian’s lips curled into a small smile and he pulled me into a warm hug. “Are you serious, babe?” He asked with a hint of amusement in his voice. I nodded, wrapping my hands over his shoulders. “Yes, baby. Let’s do this!” I replied, my voice firm. “Let’s even plan an engagement party.” Zara’s face became red with anger as I spoke. “You’re going to regret this, Sebastian!” She growled, her voice dripping with malice. “You’re just trying to trap him. You're just deceiving him after cheating on him.” She glared at me. Zara became more infuriated as I smiled at her. “You want to get married to someone with AIDS? How long before you contact it too?” She asked Sebastian who was busy burying his head in my shoulder. “Zara, I’m sure you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s probably a misunderstanding. But it’s fine now. Maybe you heard the wrong information.” I responded calmly, ignoring her outburst. “But you came here to confront me abou….”

Falling For The Enemy 109
Chapter 109Ivy Chase~•~When Parker returned to the room, he saw me holding his phone. “What did you see?” He asked as he took a step closer to me. “They asked you to come back but you refused,” I said as I handed his phone back to him. “What’s going on? Why did you quit and want to throw everything away?” Parker sighed. “They don’t have my best interest at heart.” He replied as he sat down next to me. “They refused to allow me to come back here and ended up giving me an ultimatum.” “And so what? They’ve realized their mistake and they want you back.” After everything that happened, I couldn’t let Parker give up on his dreams just because I needed saving. Parker shook his head, his eyes filled with determination. “I’ve already made up my mind. It’s too late and I’m not interested anymore.” He declared. “What happens next when there’s an emergency and they don’t let me leave? Do I just quit again?” “What would your parents say? It was a great opportunity and I don’t think you sh

Chapter 108Ivy Chase~•~“What do you mean by you’ve quit your job?” I asked with a hint of amusement in my voice. “You’ve worked so hard there and you just want to throw everything down the drain?” Parker sighed. “They gave me an ultimatum.” I raised my eyebrows. “What was the ultimatum?” He closed his eyes briefly, letting out a deep breath. “Let’s get you cleaned up and make sure you eat before talking about it.” I shook my head. “No, let’s talk about it right now.” I declared firmly without hesitation. “What was the ultimatum?” I repeated my question. “We will talk about it when we get home.” Throughout the rest of the ride, a frown was plastered across my face. There was nothing I could say that would convince Parker to change his mind and tell me about what was going on. It didn’t make sense for him to quit just like that. This was something he wanted so badly. It even caused a strain in our relationship at one point. I didn’t believe that he would just wake up one day

Chapter 107Ivy Chase~•~“How is it your fault?” I asked Parker, my brows etched in confusion. “Let’s leave this place first, I’ll explain everything to you in the car,” Parker replied, his voice measured. I was reluctant at first, but I eventually agreed. I didn’t want to spend another second in the house. Parker led me to the car, and I was relieved to know that I was finally free. But I couldn’t stop thinking about how it was Parker’s fault. Soon enough, I settled down in the car and fastened my seatbelt. Then Parker started the car and drove out of the deserted area. “So tell me everything,” I said, staring at him in anticipation. Parker sighed and started explaining. By the time he was done, my eyes grew wide in shock. “What? So they decided to come after me just because of a bad deal that happened years ago?” Parker nodded, his eyes filled with guilt. “Yes, I’m so sorry, Ivy. I couldn’t even tell your parents because I didn’t know how they would react to the news.” I

Chapter 106Parker Wellington~•~Just one bad deal! One fucking bad deal and they decide to go after my girlfriend? I had been blaming Zara when everything was actually my fault. After all these years, they decide to come after me now? I had no idea how I would even break the news to Ivy’s family. They would hate me for making their daughter go through something like that. When we took Zara to the station, she refused to say anything. She wouldn’t even talk with Ivy’s family present. I guess she was scared because there was no way in hell that she was doing it just to protect me. Ivy’s family had to leave before she agreed to talk. I was the only one she wanted to talk to. I was confused at first but I finally understood her reason after she explained everything to me. Zara was approached by a group of businessmen. She gave me a name. They wanted her to get close to Ivy, so they would be able to take her without a hassle. Zara was desperate for money because her life was fall

Chapter 105Ivy Chase ~•~I had no idea how long I had been passed out, but the next time I opened my eyes, I heard a loud noise coming from outside where I had been kept. My body was weak and I felt so dizzy. I tried to stand up but my legs weren’t cooperating. The noises outside were getting louder and it sounded like people were engaged in a heated argument. I managed to crawl closer to the door even though the concrete floor was hard and rough. When I finally got close, their voices were muffled and I couldn’t hear what they were saying. Frustrated, I decided to hit the door multiple times and screamed out for help. Everywhere went silent for a few minutes. But nobody answered me. Then they continued talking. I didn’t give up. I kept on hitting the door, hoping someone would come to my rescue. I had been kept hostage without a reason for so long. I had a life and wanted to get back to it. The worst part was that they didn’t even say what they wanted. Why would they kidna

Chapter 104Parker Wellington ~•~I felt a wave of different emotions - anger, frustration, sadness, disappointment - after I watched the CCTV footage. Why the fuck did Ivy allow Zara inside her home? After everything the girl had done to her, she still let her inside. I couldn’t help but wonder how their conversation went. What could she have possibly said to convince Ivy? A few hours after she let Zara into her house, a group of masked men walked in right after. Then they took Ivy away while she was unconscious. I had no idea what Zara had done to her. The police had already started searching for Zara but she was nowhere to be found. I knew that Ivy wouldn’t just ghost everybody. She was in danger and I couldn’t help but wonder what Zara’s motive was. Why would she do something like that to her best friend? As I returned to my house, I slammed the door behind me, the loud crash echoing my frustration. It was late and I needed to get some rest, so I wouldn’t be exhausted in
Falling For The Enemy 103
Chapter 103Ivy Chase ~•~I shouldn’t have let Zara into my home. I messed up.She always reminded me of why I shouldn’t trust people. Zara had played me multiple times and I still feel for her manipulation. The last thing I remembered was letting her into my house and showing her to the living room. The next time I became conscious, I found myself in the dark room. I didn’t need anybody to tell me that Zara had a hand in it. She was the reason why I had been locked up for days. But I had no idea why she decided to do it. What was her motive? What did she have to gain? How long did she plan on holding me for? I had been thinking about my family all this while. They must’ve been looking for me but had no idea I had been trapped because of Zara. Parker was also on my mind, he would think I had been ignoring him. I mean, we had a little argument and he wouldn’t realize that I was missing. He would just assume that I was giving him the silent treatment because I was still upset.

Chapter 102Parker Wellington ~•~I stared at the email on my screen, my frustration growing with each passing moment. [ We are sorry but you can’t take a break. If you leave, it means that you are ready to terminate the contract.]Were they being serious right now? I just needed a little break, so I could go back home and help Ivy.But they refused, leaving me with an ultimatum. It was unacceptable. They wanted me to make a drastic decision. I didn’t want to abandon the job back in Japan completely, but Ivy was in danger and I needed to fly back there to save her. After finding her, I would return to Japan and continue working for them. But they didn’t agree even though I told them that it was an emergency. I was so frustrated and had no idea what to do. I picked up my phone and called Serena. “Hey, what is the update? Have you guys found anything yet?” I asked, letting out a deep sigh. “No, Parker.” “I’ll be on the next flight to New York.” “What? Are you allowed to do s

Chapter 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
