Chapter 38Ivy Chase ~•~Sebastian’s expression turned uneasy. He hesitated for a while then he reached out to my hands. “We are about to get married, we shouldn’t be arguing so much.” I let out a loud scoff when I realized what he was trying to do. He wanted to distract me and change the topic. He didn’t want to have a conversation about who was blowing up his phone. I laughed even if nothing was funny. “I’m going to ask you one more time, Sebastian. Who was blowing up your phone?”Sebastian sighed. “I already told you, it’s someone who wants to work with me.” He looked me straight in the eyes and lied to my face. I wasn’t buying it.“Give me your phone, I want to see.” I stretched my hands as I requested his phone. Sebastian smacked his lips. “You’re ridiculous.” He stood up from the table and walked away from me. Of course, he didn’t want me to see who the caller was. It just confirmed the fact that it wasn’t someone who wanted to work with him. It was probably a girl who he

Chapter 39Ivy Chase ~•~“Did you sleep with him?” Sebastian asked as I walked to the front door. I stopped in my tracks, taken aback by his question. “What? Who?” Sebastian scoffed. “Don’t act like you have no idea what I’m talking about.” He replied, his eyes darkening. “Are you sleeping with Parker?” “I don’t even know what you’re doing at my house, please leave.” I gently shoved him to the side because he was blocking my path, and then I unlocked the door and walked inside the house. But before I could close the door, he held it and walked inside the house. “You didn’t answer my question, Ivy.” He continued. “Did you sleep with Parker?” He repeated his question. I honestly didn’t have an answer to his question because I had no idea if I even slept with Parker or not. Yes, I woke up naked in a hotel room with him, but we never got the chance to talk about what happened. I felt too embarrassed to ask him about it even if it had crossed my mind several times. But I wasn’t sur

Chapter 40Sebastian ~•~I was under so much tension that I didn’t even think properly before doing things. I felt so embarrassed as Ivy caught my lie. But I still tried to sound convincing as I used another excuse. I could see in Ivy’s eyes that she wanted to believe me but she couldn’t. Seeing her cry made my heart break. I cared about Ivy a lot but I had to prioritize myself. When Ivy was done crying, I led her to her bedroom. I knew she wouldn’t want me to spend the night at her house, so I didn’t ask. Ivy was silent as we made our way to her room. After she settled on her bed, I turned around to leave. But I stopped in my tracks when my mind wandered back to Zara. She had given me an ultimatum - spend the day with her or buy her the expensive necklace I had gotten for Ivy. I didn’t want to risk getting caught with her, so I settled for buying the necklace. It was a bad financial decision but things would be bad if I didn’t agree to Zara’s demands. “I never got to see th

Chapter 41Sebastian ~•~As I waited for Zara in the hotel room, I couldn’t help but wonder how I had gotten into such a situation. I couldn’t get the expensive necklace for her anymore, so I had no choice but to meet up with her. Zara was already on her way up to my hotel room. I couldn’t risk meeting her at my house. I stood up from the bed and walked over to the door as I heard a gentle knock. As soon as I opened the door and let Zara inside, she pulled me into a tight hug. Immediately, I closed the door, so nobody would see us in such a compromising position. Zara clearly had feelings for me but she had no idea that she was a pawn in my game. I had no idea how to get rid of her because she technically blackmailing me. “Why aren’t you happy to see me?” Zara’s face formed into a frown as she broke the hug. “Didn’t you miss me?” She asked, tracing her fingers around my face. I nodded my head. “I missed you.” The lie tastes bitter on my lips. I didn’t miss Zara. If I had my wa

Chapter 42Ivy Chase ~•~“Wow, I had no idea you were going through that.” My sister’s voice cracked slightly as she responded. “You could have told me about it earlier.” I was tired of bearing the burden alone, so I finally decided to open up to my sister about everything that had happened with Zara and Sebastian. As I talked about it, I felt so embarrassed and hurt. It took me a while to muster up the courage to talk to Serena about it, but I was glad I did. I felt a lot better because she didn’t even try to judge me or make me feel less of myself for still entertaining Sebastian. I let out a wistful sigh. “I know, I should have told you but I wasn’t sure how to say it,” I admitted. “Please, don’t mention this to our parents.” Serena exhaled heavily. “Sure, I won’t say anything to them until you’re ready to tell them.” She assured me, her voice laced with pity. She had listened attentively when I told her about my plans. Serena was fully in support and decided to help me how

Chapter 43Ivy Chase ~•~My heart raced in my chest as I drove over to the place where Zara had asked me to meet her. Initially, I didn’t want to go but what else did I have to lose? As I got to the cafe, I saw Zara already seated by the window side. My palms were clammy with sweat as I walked over to her table. I already knew our conversation was going to be awkward. “Hey,” I muttered under my breath as I sat across from her. “Hey.” She responded, her voice barely above a whisper.I used to be filled with rage whenever I thought about Zara. Whenever I remembered how she betrayed me. Twice. But it was different this time. I wasn’t angry at her anymore. I had channeled all my anger to someone else. I just felt a hole in my chest, wondering why she would ever agree to join Sebastian to set me up. “Why did you want to meet?” I asked, cutting straight to the chase. I wasn’t interested in the fake pleasantries. Zara’s expression was neutral. “You heard the phone conversation, rig

Chapter 44Ivy Chase ~•~I didn’t want to be alone. I couldn’t go back home because I was going to be miserable if left alone with my thoughts. I had too much to process and didn’t want to think about it just yet.After circling the city for a few minutes, I decided to head over to Parker’s house. I had called him immediately after I left Zara. I needed a friend and he was the only person I could think of. Parker was kind enough to allow me to go to his house. When I arrived at his house, he led me to the fountain side at his house. “You sounded like you were crying on the phone.” He gave me a concerned look as I settled on the wooden reclining chair. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my voice before speaking. I didn’t want to cry in front of Parker. I needed to get myself together. “Sebastian was behind everything.” My words were spoken in a low, quiet tone. Parker became intrigued. “What are you talking about?” He asked, his eyebrows slightly lowered. “What happened?” H

Chapter 45Ivy Chase ~•~Parker’s eyes twinkled with mischief as he leaned back. “Well, Ivy.” He began, drawing out his words deliberately. “What do you think happened that night?”My pulse quickened and I averted my gaze, fingers nervously twisting the hem of my sleeve. “I was drugged. I still can’t remember.” My voice was barely above a whisper. The uncertainty had been gnawing on me and I wanted to know the truth. A soft chuckle escaped Parker’s lips, the sound both relaxing and infuriating. “Relax, Ivy. You look so tense.” He laughed. His suspense was killing me and he was enjoying my reaction to his teasing. “Parker, just tell me.” I pleaded, my eyes mirroring my desperation. “I really need to know,” I added. He let out a heavy sigh and lifted his hands in mock surrender. “Fine, I’ll tell you.” He replied. “But you have to promise not to be mad.” My heart leaped into my throat. Did it actually happen? Why did I have to promise not to be mad? I wasn’t even sure I was ready

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
