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 34Sebastian ~•~As I watched my mother and Ivy go back and forth with each other, I wanted to join the conversation but I didn’t want to say the wrong things. I didn’t want to say something that would upset my mother or even Ivy. I felt so helpless and lost. I shouldn’t have asked Ivy to come over to the house. I should’ve found another way to convince my mother to let go of it. I knew she was genuinely concerned about my finances but having her and Ivy in the same room was a terrible idea. I should’ve just assured her that I was going to do better. I was so relieved when I finally walked my mother out of the house. As we walked over to her car, I tried my best to calm her down because she was so angry. “Are you sure that’s the lady you want to spend the rest of your life with?” My mother asked, staring at me with a concerned look. I sighed. “It’s not like that, you shouldn’t have asked her to return the necklace,” I said, running my hands through my hair. My mother gl

Chapter 35Sebastian ~•~Zara had been blowing up my phone with numerous phone calls and texts. I chose to ignore them because I was having a date with Ivy later in the day. I didn’t want to respond to Zara because she would probably bug me about hanging out. But I couldn’t meet up with her anymore. That was a big risk. I thought ignoring Zara would make her give up, but she kept on calling my phone. What I had gotten myself into? At some point, I had to turn off my phone so she wouldn’t be able to contact me. By the time I was done getting ready for the date, Ivy was already in my bedroom. I was meant to pick her up from her house, so I was shocked to see her. “What are you doing here?” I asked as I made my way to the closet. “I’ve been calling your phone but I couldn’t reach you,” Ivy said. “I had to come here to see if everything was fine.” A soft chuckle escaped my lips. “I’m sorry, my phone died.” I lied, trying to avoid eye contact with her. I couldn’t tell her that I tur

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

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
