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.

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. A few weeks ago, she tried breaking up with me. She wouldn’t even let me kiss her on the lips. I could sense that she was tired of me. But from the way she was excited about the wedding preparations, I couldn’t help but wonder if I was the one who was just misinterpreting her emotions. I wa

Chapter 28Ivy Chase ~•~“How did you manage to do that?” The event planner asked as we walked out of the jewelry store. She had a surprised expression registered on her face. I smiled, pretending like I had no idea what she was talking about. “How did I manage to do what?” I asked, feeling proud of what I had done. “I didn’t mean to pry, but you’ve been asking for expensive items and he has been buying it for you.” She responded, referring to Sebastian. A soft chuckle escaped my lips. “I’m his fiancé, I don’t have to do anything.” I shrugged my shoulders and held back a laugh.I knew exactly what I was doing. Sebastian was saying yes to everything because of what he had to gain in the end. I actually wasn’t expecting him to agree to spending such an amount on a piece of jewelry. I thought he would snap out and call me out on my recent behavior.But he didn’t. He was just being patient with me because of his ultimate goal. On our way back home, I decided to stop at the mall to

Chapter 29Ivy Chase ~•~Throughout the entire ride to my parent’s house, I couldn’t stop thinking about how I would face them. They had no idea what was going on and I wasn’t even interested in telling them about the reason why I was doing what I was doing. I couldn’t reveal the reason to anybody. My fingers were crossed, hoping that they wouldn’t exactly give me a hard time. I just hoped the invitation was a usual check-up. Soon enough, I arrived at the house. I let out a deep breath as I parked my car and stepped out of it. “They’re your parents, you don’t have to be nervous,” I whispered to myself as I made my way to the front door. The maid at the house answered the door and led me to the living room. I hadn’t been back to my house in a few months. Everything still looked the same.I didn’t want to sit and wait for my parents, so I just dropped my bag on the couch and headed upstairs to their room. I let out another deep breath as I stood in front of the large wooden door

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

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
