Falling For The Enemy 26
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 30Sebastian ~•~Zara didn’t give up on calling my phone. I had a lot going on and wasn’t in the mood to deal with her. But due to her incessant calls, I had no choice but to answer the phone. “What’s going on?” I asked with a hint of frustration in my voice. “I’ve been calling you for two days but you’ve been ignoring me.” She whined as she responded. “What are you up to?” It was the weekend and I didn’t have anything to do, but I had to come up with an excuse to get her off my back. “I have some paperwork to go over.” I said, trying to sound convincing. Zara’s skepticism was palpable. “Mhmm, but it’s the weekend. I wanted us to hangout.” I sighed, rubbing the back of my head with my hands. “I’m busy, can we reschedule?” Zara scoffed. “No, I’m coming over.” She didn’t even give me a chance to protest. She abruptly ended the call before I could say anything. Zara was unhinged and I knew she was on her way to my house. But I couldn’t have her at my house. It was too r

Chapter 31Sebastian ~•~As I drove away, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. Zara was like a ticking time bomb, and I had no idea how I was going to handle her. I could only hope that she doesn’t end up doing anything reckless. I had to be careful because Zara was unpredictable, and I couldn’t risk her exposing me to Ivy. After a short ride, I arrived at my house. As I walked into the house, I saw that my mother was already seated at the dining table, having a glass of juice as she waited for me. “Hey, Ma.” I kissed her on the forehead before settling down on the empty chair beside her. “Sebastian, you bought a $99,000 necklace for Ivy?” My mother went straight to the point as she asked. “Why did you spend so much money on a necklace?” She added, letting out a disappointed sigh. My mother caught me off guard. I had no idea she even knew about the necklace. I wasn’t even expecting her to come down to my house just to scold me about a necklace. I opened my mouth to spe

Chapter 32Ivy Chase ~•~“You’re leaving already?” My mother asked as I informed her that I was leaving. I responded with a simple nod. “Yes, I have something to take care of.” My mother exhaled heavily. “I hope you think about what your father and I said to you today. I don’t want you to get into someone that you’ll end up regretting.” I managed a smile. “Yes, ma’am. I’ll think about it.” With that, I made my way out of the house and headed to my car. As I drove out of my parents house, I couldn’t help but wonder what Sebastian’s mother wanted to talk to me about. I hadn’t seen her in a while. And I was guessing that she wanted to talk to me about the wedding. I increased my speed and a few minutes later, I arrived at Sebastian’s house. “Please, just be patient with her.” Sebastian whisphered in my ear as opened the door for me. A confused expression was registered on my face. I didn’t even get a chance to ask any questions before he led me to the dining room and announced

Chapter 33Ivy Chase ~•~As I talked about my $500,000, everywhere went silent. All of a sudden, the mother didn’t have anything to say anymore. She was just staring at Sebastian with a disappointed look on her face. “Talking about the $500,000 at this point is so insensitive.” His mother finally spoke after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence. “What?” I asked with an unbelievable scoff. “But it isn't insensitive for you to call me here and embarrass me because of the money I am spending on my wedding preparations?” His mother rolled her eyes. “I’m just trying to reason with you here.” She replied, her voice rising. “If you can just listen and return the necklace, everyone will be okay.” It was even surprising to me that I had been standing there for minutes, listening to her as she insulted me. And the fact that Sebastian had been quiet all this while was baffling. “Like I already said before, I’m not going to return the necklace.” I kept my tone as respectful as possible.

Chapter 85Ivy Chase ~•~“Where are you?” I asked as Sebastian answered his phone. “Your boyfriend didn’t ask you to stay away from me?” I could picture the cocky smile on his face. “Do you want to see me?” I rolled my eyes. “I’ve had enough, Sebastian,” I replied, rubbing my hands through my hair. “So you really showed Parker a fake sex tape? Why would you even do something like that?” Sebastian chuckled. “You know it wasn’t fake, Ivy.” He countered. “Why are you trying to deny me all of a sudden?” I shook my head, feeling disappointed and disgusted. “What the fuck is wrong with you? Can’t you just leave me alone and stop with your stupid lies?” He scoffed. “I want you back, Ivy. I won’t stop until I have you in my life.” He replied. “Parker isn’t good for you. Are you guys still together?” A low breath escaped my lips. Why was he behaving like this? I knew Sebastian could be annoying at times. But now, he was acting like someone who had mental issues. I wasn’t even sure I wa

Chapter 84Ivy Chase ~•~“Parker, what did Sebastian say to you?” I asked, my voice cracking slightly. I needed him to get straight to the point because I had no clue what he was talking about. His eyes shot up and he stared at me in shock. “How do you know Sebastian said anything to me? So you actually did it?” His voice was filled with rage. I shook my head. “No, I didn’t do anything.” My voice turned defensive. “I know he said something to you. I need you to tell me.” There was a brief silence. Parker opened his mouth to speak, but he hesitated. I wiped off my tears with the back of my hand. “Come on, you can’t accuse me of something without telling me what it is about.” “He told me about your affair. You cheated on me with him.” Parker’s voice was low as he responded. “Of all people, you chose to sleep with Sebastian? Your ex who I saved you from?” My lips parted and I blinked repeatedly in disbelief. “What?” I asked, trying to make sure that I heard what he said correctly

Chapter 83Ivy Chase ~•~As Parker hung up the call, I tried calling me multiple times but he didn’t answer his phone. I was confused because I couldn’t remember doing anything embarrassing to him. He wasn’t even straightforward with me. I had no idea what was happening. He sounded so angry and frustrated. Was it just a silly prank? I tried calling him again, but this time, his number was unavailable. Did he block me or something? I let out a disbelieving scoff. I asked Serena for her phone and tried calling him. I was shocked to see that the line connected. “Parker, what the hell is going on?” I asked as he answered the call. As soon as he heard my voice, the line disconnected. I tried calling him a few more times, but he didn’t respond. “What is wrong with him?” I asked Serena as if she knew the answer to the question. I sent him a few more texts, asking him to explain what was going on. My mind was racing with different thoughts. What did I do to embarrass Parker? Serena’

Chapter 82Parker Wellington ~•~My day was going smoothly until the receptionist called to say I had a visitor. I was confused because I was expecting anyone at the office. Or maybe it was Ivy. But she was meant to be preparing for the event and we didn’t plan on seeing each other until later in the day. The receptionist didn’t say who it was, she just asked me to come downstairs because the person wouldn’t say who they were or what they wanted. My curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to know what the unexpected visit was about. I wasn’t really busy, so I decided to go downstairs to see who it was. As I descended the stairs, my face formed into a frown when I saw Sebastian standing by the receptionist’s desk. Was Sebastian the visitor? What did he want? The last time I saw him was when I went over to his house to warn him to stay away from my girlfriend. He had been quiet since then, and I felt he had gotten the message. But now he was back. I could only hope he didn’t w

Chapter 81Ivy Chase~•~Parker and I practically spent every day together for the past two weeks. He wanted to make the most of the time before leaving for Japan. No matter how hard I tried to put on a brave face, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of the impending doom. I couldn’t even enjoy my time with him. The thought of being away from him was suffocating, and I couldn’t help but feel like I was counting down the days until he left. At some point, I even thought about the possibility of moving there with him. I mean, it would be only for a year. My company had great staff and they would do well without me. But I shoved those thoughts away, I didn’t need to put my career on hold because of a man. I would end up regretting the decision. I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of chokehold Parker had on me. A few months ago, I didn’t want to get into a relationship with him. But now, it felt like I couldn’t live without him. If I had learned anything from my last relationship, it

Chapter 80Ivy Chase~•~“The company is expanding, and they want me to oversee the operations over there for a while. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” I swallowed hard, ignoring the lump that had formed in my throat. “So you’re leaving for one year?” I asked, hoping he wouldn’t say yes. Parker sighed, leaning forward. “I don’t know. I haven’t made a decision yet.” He exhaled sharply. “I don’t want to leave you.” I didn’t want him to leave me either. I wasn’t sure our relationship would be able to survive a long distance. “So what are you saying?” I asked, my eyes locked onto his. “I don’t know. I wanted to talk to you about it first.” He replied, running his fingers through his hair. “I love you, Ivy. And I don’t want to be away from you.” My heart clenched as I heard him say those words. I had been wanting to hear them for so long, but now, under these circumstances, they didn’t bring me the excitement I thought they would. “If you love me and don’t want to be away fr

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
