Chapter 20 Parker Wellington ~•~ I was surprised when Ivy called to ask me to meet up for drinks. I’ve always wanted her to contact me but I felt she was still upset about what happened the last time we met. Even if I was excited about the meeting, I decided to play it cool. Throughout the day, my eyes continuously darted to my wristwatch. I was looking forward to the end of the day, so I could meet up with Ivy. I was curious to know what she wanted to talk about. After a series of meetings which felt like they lasted for an eternity, the day finally came to an end. I didn’t spend any more minutes at the office before heading down to my car. I wasn’t sure if Ivy already had a place in mind to meet up, but I decided to tell her to meet me at a cafe close to my office. I was exhausted from work and that was the usual place where I normally go to rewind after work. As I got inside, I decided to scroll through my phone while I waited for her to arrive. “Parker!” Ivy’s fami

Chapter 21Ivy Chase~•~As soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing I could think of was to reach out for my phone. I wanted to see if Parker had called or sent a text while I was asleep. Waiting for feedback from him made me feel so restless. I was scared that he wouldn’t be able to get me the evidence I needed. My plans would be ruined if he ended up disappointing me. I let out a wistful sigh when I saw that I didn’t get any text or call from Parker.I contemplated calling him to ask if he had made any progress, but I decided to just stay calm and be patient. Besides, he had assured me that he would contact me whenever he found something. I tossed my phone on the bed and went back to sleep. A few minutes later, the sound of my ringing phone woke me up. I sat upright on the bed and quickly reached out to my phone. A part of me wanted to ignore the call when I saw the caller ID. But I just decided to answer because I was already awake. “Hey.” “Did I wake up up?” Sebastian’s

Chapter 22Ivy Chase~•~“Do you think Zara is going to attend the engagement party tomorrow?” I asked Parker who had his arms wrapped around my body. I had no idea what was going on between them. I wasn’t even sure if they were still on speaking terms or not. But I decided to ask, just to be sure. Sebastian shrugged. “I don’t know, but she would probably attend. I mean, you did invite her even after everything that happened at her house that day.” He replied, kissing me on my right cheek. “Mhmmm. Good. I really want her to attend. After all, she has been my best friend for a while.” I added, trying not to sound suspicious. I just wanted Sebastian to try and convince her to attend, in case they were still on speaking terms. Sebastian nodded. “Yes, I should probably send her a formal invitation.” I held back my laughter as he easily agreed to have Zara at the party. With everything that happened that day, any reasonable partner would question my decision about having Zara at the

Chapter 23Ivy Chase~•~“You look so breathtaking.” Sebastian looked at me with admiration in his eyes as he stepped out of his car. He wanted us to go to the venue together. He wanted us to make a grand entrance. I smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction. “Thank you, baby.” I knew he was being honest because I actually looked so stunning. The knee-length shiny silver dress I had picked out was so beautiful. It hugged my curves in all the right places, showcasing my shape. Sebastian opened the door and assisted me as I stepped into the car. “I can’t wait to make you my fiancé. I can’t wait to show my beautiful fiancé to the world.” He said before closing the door and heading back to his seat. As he drove into the city, he took my left hand and kissed it. “You look nervous, but don’t worry, today is going to be perfect.” He assured me with a warm smile plastered across his face. “Oh, I know,” I muttered. “It’s just going to be perfect.” But not in the way he thought. Shortly af

Chapter 24Ivy Chase~•~My eyes darted between the large projector hanging from the ceiling at the front of the stage and back to Zara. I had already given Parker instructions to go ahead but he was wasting time. “Your parents aren’t still here,” Sebastian whispered to me as he placed his hands on my shoulder. I didn’t have time for his endless talks about my parents' presence at the party. “Sebastian, can you please stop? Let’s just enjoy our party.” I replied, my voice barely audible. Sebastian’s eyes narrowed and he seemed to sense my growing irritation. “But…..”I cut him off before he could complete his sentence. “No buts. Just enjoy the party.” I forced a smile as I told him. He leaned back in his seat and raised his hands in mock surrender. “Fine, I’ll enjoy the party.” He said, letting out a defeated sigh. A few minutes later, the protector was turned on and all eyes darted toward it. It was meant to be the time when the media team showcased different phases of me and Se

Chapter 25Ivy Chase~•~Just as I was about to leave, Parker’s voice interrupted me, and stopped in my tracks. “Why did you let your boyfriend off the hook and embarrass only Zara?” He asked, his voice barely above a whisper. His question caught me off-guard. “What?” I asked. “You have evidence of Zara and Sebastian cheating on you, but you just let him off the hook.” He continued, looking at me with judgmental eyes. “I mean, you want to go back inside and continue your engagement to someone who has betrayed you.” I had no idea where his question was coming from. I looked at him, keeping my expression neutral. “Why do you care, Parker? Where is this question coming from?” I asked, curious to hear his reason.Parker scoffed. “I don’t care, it just doesn’t make sense.” I couldn’t help but laugh. “I appreciate you for helping me with all the evidence and proof I needed. But I don’t think it’s fair for you to question my choices.” “And you think it’s fair to expose one person but l

Chapter 26Ivy Chase~•~My engagement with Sebastian had been the talk of the city for over two weeks. The blogs wouldn’t stop talking about it because of how everything went down. Normally, I wouldn’t read the comments because I didn’t care what strangers on the internet had to say about my life, but this time around, I was curious to know what people had to say about that day. Most people said I was courageous enough to expose my best friend on my special day, but some of them bashed me for embarrassing her like that. Ever since that day, I hadn’t seen Zara. Zara was a social media freak, but she hadn’t made a single social media post since then. I figured she was scared of what people would say to her. Most times, I felt bad about the whole situation, but Zara actually deserved it. I mean, I always saw Zara as my sister and my best friend. I never imagined she would actually stoop so low just to bring me down. She literally tried to put my life in danger. Embarrassing her in

Chapter 27Sebastian ~•~Ever since the wedding preparations began, Ivy had been spending lavishly. Sometimes I wondered if it was because I offered to pay for the entire wedding but it still didn’t make any sense. Ivy has never been the one to squander money like that. She always had good money management skills. It was even she who helped me make the right financial decisions. But now, she was behaving like a totally different person.,She would pick the most expensive option even if there were other suitable choices. I couldn’t even say no because I didn’t want her to get upset.Maybe she was just excited about getting married. But it still felt weird.I didn’t even understand Ivy anymore.

Chapter 79Ivy Chase~•~I couldn’t concentrate on my work throughout the day but my mind was constantly drifting back to Parker. I texted him again to let him know that I was free and asked him to meet me at the office. But hours ticked by and I still hadn’t gotten a response from him. I tried to push my feeling of unease, telling myself that he was busy. Finally, my phone buzzed with an incoming text from Parker. My heart skipped a beat as I opened the text message. He asked me to wait until later, promising to come over to my house so we could discuss everything in person. I was relieved but anxious at the same time. I had no idea what he wanted to say and was scared that it would be something bad. The rest of the day felt like an eternity. My eyes were constantly moving to the clock placed on the wall in front of me. After a few more hours, I was finally done for the day. I gathered my things and left for the house immediately. But I made a quick stop at the restaurant to ge

Chapter 78Ivy Chase~•~After Parker and his family left, I went back to meet my parents in the living room. “So what do you think about them?” I asked, staring at them in anticipation. My parents hesitated for a while, then my father finally responded. “Parker looks like a fine young man, and I’m sure that he is a decent person.” “But his father had been to prison and he caused it.” My mother added. I gasped in shock. How did she know about that? “It’s been a while, and I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding,” I replied, defending Parker. “He doesn’t look like he would hurt me, right?” My parents exchanged glances. “We can’t say for sure. Human beings are unpredictable. We just hope that he doesn’t end up hurting you.” My father replied. “Don’t take it the wrong way, your mother and I are just looking out for you.” I responded with a quiet nod. “So you guys approve of our relationship? You don’t mind if I’m in a relationship with someone like him?” My mother chuckled. “Ivy,

Chapter 77Parker Wellington ~•~I held her hand before she could go away. “Ivy, stop.” My voice was barely above a whisper. “Just listen to me.” She didn’t hold back her scoff. “You almost embarrassed me, Parker. Do you know how I felt when you didn’t respond to any of my calls or texts?” I let out a deep breath. “I understand, but it wasn’t intentional.” Ivy remained silent. “I had an impromptu business meeting. I even had to cut the dinner short because I had to be at your house. I accidentally forgot my phone at my house, so I couldn’t even contact you.” Ivy listened attentively as I explained. “You know I wouldn’t leave you hanging on purpose,” I added as I pulled her closer. She was reluctant at first, but she finally gave in. “I thought you didn’t want to come anymore. And you were just ignoring me because you didn’t have the courage to tell me about it.” Ivy’s voice was calmer. I shook my head. “No, no. I wouldn’t do that.” I countered. “I’m so sorry, I should have f

Chapter 76Parker Wellington ~•~I knew Ivy wouldn’t forgive me for arriving late to dinner. But the situation was completely out of my control. I wasn’t planning on ignoring her or showing up late. Something urgent came up. And it was something I couldn’t miss. I knew I should’ve updated her about it, but I was so excited that I left my phone at the house. Dinner was meant to start by 7:00 pm. But my meeting didn’t end until after 7:30 pm. The meeting was impromptu and I didn’t even have any chance to communicate with anybody. Not even my parents. As I went over to the family house to pick them up, they were also worried that I had canceled on them. I didn’t even get the chance to go back to my house to grab my phone. I wanted to explain myself to Ivy, but she didn’t even give me a chance. She ignored me and acted like I was invisible. She wouldn’t even look at me but she engaged in conversations with my family. My eyes darted around everybody. I was shocked to see that everyo

Chapter 75Ivy Chase ~•~My eyes darted at the clock and my phone every minute. 7:30 pm. Parker’s family hadn’t yet arrived. My hands were clammy with sweat. What if they didn’t show up? The dining table was already filled with a variety of dishes. I wouldn’t know what to do if they ended up ditching the dinner. I looked at my phone again, searching to see if Parker had sent me a text or something. I had been trying to reach him for the past hour. But he was taking his calls or answering my text messages. Dinner was meant to start by 7:00 pm. My parents had already asked why they hadn’t arrived. I had to come up with something convincing. I told them that something had come up and they would be running late. I asked them to wait until 8:00pm before starting dinner. My mind was racing with different thoughts. Did Parker lie to me again? Was dinner really happening? I tried my best to stay calm even though I was nervous as hell. A few minutes later, Serena came downstairs to m

Chapter 74Parker Wellington ~•~What I did was very stupid.I shouldn’t have lied to Ivy. It would’ve been better if I had just told her the truth from the beginning. But I thought my parents would be polite and accept the invitation. Now, I had disappointed Ivy and she was upset with me.I had no idea how to fix it. I left several text messages without getting any response. I even called her phone a few times but they all went straight to voicemail. It was already late, so I just decided to wait until the next day before speaking to her. Just as I dropped my phone on the table and slid into my bed. It started ringing. Without hesitation, I grabbed it from the table. But I let out a disappointed sigh when I saw the caller ID. It wasn’t Ivy, it was my mother. She had been calling me for a while but I wasn’t in the mood to speak to her. I was still upset about what happened at the house. Frustrated, I turned off my phone and went back to bed. Shortly after, I drifted off to sl

Chapter 73Ivy Chase ~•~My lips parted and I blinked. I hoped it wasn’t what I was thinking about. “Why? What did you do?” I asked, my voice measured. Parker hesitated for a moment, then he cleared his throat and responded. “I lied to you.” My chest tightened. “What did you lie to me about?” I asked, letting out a deep breath as I prepared myself to hear his response. “Dinner isn’t happening.” I let out a disbelieving scoff. “What do you mean?” I asked, raising a brow at him even though he couldn’t see me. “Did your parents change their mind? What happened?” Parker let out a wistful sigh. “They didn’t change their mind, Ivy.” He replied. “They never agreed to it.” He added, his voice tight. “Wha…what? But you…..” I stuttered as I struggled to form a coherent sentence. “I know I told you that they agreed, but it was just a lie.” I felt my heart shattering into a million tiny pieces. “Why would you lie to me about something like that?” I asked, the disappointment evident in

Chapter 72Ivy Chase ~•~After a hectic workday, I decided to spend the evening at the family house. I could finally show up at my parent's house because I had an answer for my father. Most times, my house got lonely and I always found solace in my sister. But as I arrived at the house, I saw an empty house. I called my sister and she told me that they were out for an event. But she told me to wait for her because they would be back in no time. I obliged and decided to wait for them in Serena’s room. As I collapsed on her bed, I pulled out my phone and scrolled aimlessly while I waited for them to return. I decided to check Zara’s page. I found myself going there once in a while when I was bored. Even after her harsh betrayal, I still missed her sometimes. It wasn’t like I wanted her to be my friend again, I just wished things were different. I wished she hadn’t betrayed me and we were still friends. But my face formed into a frown and I shoved those thoughts away when I stumb

Chapter 71Parker Wellington ~•~I accidentally told Ivy that I had already talked to my parents. It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing, I had no idea when it slipped out of my mouth. Ivy was already upset at me for going to Sebastian’s house, so I just said it to make her happy. What had I gotten myself into? After Ivy left, I spent the rest of the day thinking about how I would convince my parents to accept the invitation and go for dinner. I already assured Ivy and I needed to make it happen.The next morning when I woke up, I decided to take a visit to my family house. I barely went there because I wasn’t exactly best friends with my parents. It was safe to say that we had a complicated relationship. I always thought it was best to stay away from them because we always ended up having silly misunderstandings. My parents were just too strict and I was also strong-headed. We had a lot of differences and couldn’t seem to be on the same page about anything. As I arrived at th
