~•~ I couldn’t breathe properly anymore. It felt like the world was spinning. I hoped it wasn’t what I was suspecting. No, it couldn’t be! Zara wouldn’t do something like that to me. Maybe it was just a coincidence. I had no idea how to explain but I knew it was a coincidence. Taking a deep calm breath, I pushed open the door quietly. The lights were on and I wasn’t prepared for the next thing my eyes saw. Sebastian and Zara were having sex! They were having sex on the same bed I usually have sex with my boyfriend. They were so engrossed that they didn’t even notice that someone had opened the door. It felt like a knife twisted in my chest but I didn’t move. My heart shattered into a tiny million pieces. I just stood there, frozen, unable to even speak or move. I just watched them while my boyfriend moved in and out of her as she let out breathless moans. Their bodies tangled in the sheets so effortlessly, like this wasn’t their first time. Like it was normal for them. After a while, I couldn’t look at them anymore. I forced myself to ignore the lump that had formed in my throat. I turned around and walked out quietly. It felt like I was dreaming. My best friend and my boyfriend were having sex? Everything felt so surreal. I still couldn’t believe it. There was no possible explanation to justify why Zara was even at his house in the first place. It didn’t make any sense. Why would she do something like that to me? Anger coursed through me but I tried my best to stay calm. I wanted to walk back inside and scream at them but I just couldn’t. I was still in denial. Life had a way of surprising people. I mean, I came to tell him about how I accidentally cheated on him, but I found him cheating on me. I couldn’t even confront him because I was just as horrible as him. But I was still confused about why he chose to cheat on me with my best friend. Why would she even agree to sleep with him? Did he already find out about what I had done last night and decided to take revenge on me? Even if he wanted to, couldn’t he choose any other girl? Why did he have to be Zara? And why did Zara even agree? I kept trying to understand. I didn’t even know what else to do. Maybe I deserved it. I wasn’t innocent after all. I had betrayed Sebastian. It was my karma. But what did I do to Zara? I thought so hard but couldn’t think of anything. I knew we didn’t have a perfect friendship. But our relationship was going great. We hadn’t even had any argument in a while. Why would she betray me like that? They were hurting me badly. And the worst part was that they were doing it with full knowledge of what they were doing. Even if it was an act of revenge, it was very low. I felt so devastated, disrespected, disappointed, and betrayed! I didn’t need to confront them. I had been trying to fix my relationship, but it felt like I was just wasting my time. This was the height of it all. There was no going back. Being betrayed by my boyfriend was one thing. But being betrayed by my best friend and boyfriend was something else. I couldn’t stand there anymore. As I took one last glance at the shoe beside the door, the memories of that day we had gone shopping replayed in my head. Zara and I were so happy and everything was perfect between us. I never imagined that it would turn into something like this. Did I offend her at any point? Tears were already threatening to fall from my eyes as I thought about everything. I wiped off my eyes with the back of my hands and turned around. Just as I was about to walk down the stairs, I heard Sebastian’s voice coming from the room. “Are you sure someone sent Ivy into the room?” I stopped in my tracks as I heard him ask. “Sure, one hundred percent,” Zara responded, her voice filled with certainty. “But I asked her about it today and she doesn’t look like someone who was raped,” Sebastian replied with a hint of confusion in his voice. The blood in my veins turned ice cold. What did I just hear? Zara sighed. “I’m sure she was raped.” She repeated firmly. “Maybe she’s just so good at hiding it.” Her response sent a shiver down my spine. “She was acting a little bit weird and looked guilty,” Sebastian replied. “Or maybe she actually enjoyed it.” Zara giggled. I thought I would collapse right there. What the fuck were they talking about? I was meant to be raped? Someone was meant to be sent into a room to rape me? It was then it clicked! My mind wandered back to Parker and his words replayed in my head. ‘Someone set you up, and I caught the guy who was originally sent to your room. Do you want to meet him?’ He was trying to tell me something but I wasn’t willing to listen to him. I thought he was just trying to play games with me, but I was wrong. Parker was trying to tell him what had happened last night. But how did Sebastian and Zara find out about it? My stomach churned as I thought about it. At this point, I couldn’t even focus on the fact that I just walked into my boyfriend and best friend having sex. All I could think about was how someone tried to set me up. My chest tightened and I felt hurt emotionally, physically, and mentally. Everything was really fucked up. Who would do something like that to me?

Ivy Chase ~•~ Sitting in the bar waiting for him, I felt lost wondering how my life ended up like this. I wished it was just a dream. I couldn’t even use sleep to escape from my problems even if I tried. I ended up waking back to reality and my chest still hurt as though I was stabbed physically with a knife. Sebastian always told me that he loved me. He always assured me that we would be together forever. He made it seem like he was madly in love with me. But everything was a lie. I had been tricked for so many years. Nobody would do something like that to the person who they loved. It wasn’t logical. For years, Sebastian had been my world. He was the center of my life and I had built everything around him. I had given him every piece of me without hesitation. I stood by him. I sacrificed for him. More than I wanted to admit. More than I had ever let myself acknowledge. His dreams had become my dreams. When he wanted to start up his company, I was there. I contri

Ivy Chase ~•~ As I took a sip from the coke I had ordered about a few minutes ago, I glanced at my watch to see what time it was. 9:23 PM. He still hasn’t arrived. I scrolled through my phone aimlessly to pass the time. I went through my gallery and reminisced about the good times as I saw pictures from the different phases of my life. As I continued scrolling, my eyes landed on a picture of me and Sebastian during our last relationship anniversary. I also saw a picture of Zara and I together from the last time we went to the beach. Everything was ruined and nothing felt the same again. I could feel my eyes turning watery, so I just stopped looking at the pictures. A few minutes later, I heard footsteps coming in my direction. I dropped my phone and turned around, hoping it was him. But I let out a disappointed sigh when I realized it was just a random man. Just as I turned around and picked up my phone, I heard the person speak. “Hey gorgeous, I’ve been watching yo

Ivy Chase ~•~ My heart raced in my chest as Parker led me into a room. I wanted to see who was meant to rape me but at the same time, I was scared to see the person. I still hoped it was some sort of misunderstanding. I mean, why would someone want to set me up like that? Sexually assaulting someone was a very terrible thing to do. Plus, I wasn’t even sober. It was really fucked up. “Are you sure you’re ready to see the guy?” Parker asked as we got to the front of the room. I shook my head, even though a part of me was contemplating my decision. “Yes,” I said faintly, letting out a deep sigh. What if I wasn’t ready for whatever was on the other side of the door? Parker assessed my face and let out a dry chuckle. “You don’t look like you’re ready, but I’ll be here with you. You have nothing to worry about.” He assured me and I responded with a nod. Finally, he opened the door and we walked into the dimly lit room. I couldn’t see clearly until Parker turned on the l

Ivy Chase ~•~ The room was silent but the air was thick with tension. The only noise that echoed through the room was the sound of my heavy breathing. I kept my fingers crossed, hoping I wouldn’t hear a name that would break my heart. “Why should I tell you?” The man laughed and my brows knitted into a frown. I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. I was somewhat relieved by his response. Maybe I was just scared of hearing the truth. “Please, just tell me.” I pleaded, my voice faint. But before he could respond, Parker opened the door and asked him to leave. I was stunned and didn’t know what to do. Why was Parker letting him go? I didn’t even get the chance to process what was happening or try to stop him. I was still in awe. Why did he bring me if he would end up releasing the guy? My anger was just simmering beneath me. I stood up from the chair and turned around to look at Parker who was now closing the door. “What did you just do?” I asked, trying to

Ivy Chase ~•~ “Sebastian told me,” I replied, crossing my arms over my chest. Sebastian always had a lot to say about Parker and all the bad things he had done. Parker scoffed. “You don’t know the entire story, so you have no right to judge me.” I rolled my eyes as he tried to defend himself. “I don’t care whatever reason it is, it’s not okay to turn against the people who raised you like that.” I continued, my voice rising. Parker tried to speak but I didn’t give him the chance to continue. I was fueled by rage and I couldn’t stop myself. “My boyfriend has told me about all the horrible things you did. And now, you just let a criminal go without punishment!” I couldn’t believe he would do something like that. I had the chance to find out who was behind everything but he took it away from me. I was upset. But Parker was upset too. “You want to obey the law so much? Then you should know what illegal custody means!” I could tell that he was struggling to keep his emotions

Ivy Chase ~•~ Before I could even utter any word to express my panic, the person in the driver’s seat introduced himself. “I’m his driver, he sent me to go after you.” I let out a deep breath I didn’t realize I had been holding. My heart had already flown out of my chest. But now, I was relieved knowing it was just his driver. I was a bit disappointed because I wanted it to be him. Anyway, I was happy to know that I was safe and wasn’t in the wrong car. But I was still confused about why he sent his driver after me. I didn’t even get the chance to ask my question before he continued speaking. “The boss told me to take you to the rapist.” He said as he started the car engine. Why did he change his mind all of a sudden? “Why?” I asked with a hint of remorse in my voice. Parker clearly didn’t want me to go after the man. But he still chose to help me even though I was being difficult. Maybe going after him wasn’t the best decision. “He said people like that won’t tell

Chapter 12 Ivy Chase ~•~ Even though the thought about everything looked scary, I knew that it was the right decision. It would hurt but it was the best thing to do. I would eventually get over it even if it wasn’t going to be easy. I couldn’t just overlook everything that had happened and continue to stay in a relationship with him. I wasn’t happy and I needed to let him go. My eyes glanced over to my watch as I waited for Sebastian to come downstairs. I had been sitting on his couch for a few minutes. Earlier in the day, I texted him to let him know that I was going to his house. I couldn’t risk visiting him unannounced anymore. After what happened the last time, I wasn’t ready to see anything that would hurt me. A few minutes later, he came downstairs to the living room. It took everything in me to hold myself from breaking down as I watched him descend the stairs. As I saw him, my mind wandered back to the time I walked into him having sex with Zara. No matter how

Chapter 13 Ivy Chase ~•~ Just as I was about to step out of the house, I retrieved my phone from my bag and called Parker. The phone rang continuously but he still didn’t respond. I took it as a hint that he was upset and still didn’t want to speak to me. I went ahead to text him before getting into my ride, hoping he would respond. Since he didn’t want to talk on the phone, I figured he wanted to speak to me in person. I knew I messed up but I didn’t deserve to get the silent treatment for so long. The ride to his workplace was just a twenty-minute ride. Throughout the ride, I reflected on my actions and knew he didn’t deserve all those things I had said to him. I had no idea where he lived, so I had no choice but to ambush him at work. As I got there, I tried calling him a few more times but I still didn’t get any response. Letting out a deep breath, I walked into the reception and asked to meet with Parker. The receptionist instructed me to sit and wait in the waiting

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

Chapter 70Ivy Chase~•~“What did he say?” Serena asked, her brows etched in concern. “Why do you look so stunned?” I was still trying to process what I had just heard. Why did Parker go over to his house without telling me? And how did he get my new number? “Ivy!” My sister exclaimed, snapping her fingers in front of my face. “Parker went to his house to harass him.” “What?” Serena gasped. “Why would Parker do something like that?” She asked, her voice laced with a mixture of confusion and disbelief.“That’s what I’m about to find out.” I stood up as I gathered my things. “I think it has to do with the mystery gift baskets I’ve been receiving. Maybe Parker found out it was Sebastian who was behind it.” Even if he did, I would have appreciated it if he talked to me before taking any actions. He just went there and harassed him without my consent. Serena’s expression softened a bit. “Oh.” She mumbled. “You have to call Parker and confirm because I don’t trust Sebastian.” I didn

I hadn’t gotten feedback for him and I didn’t want him to pressure me about it. After waiting at the restaurant for over ten minutes, I finally saw my sister walk inside the building. “I’m sorry for coming late, there was traffic.” Serena apologized as she sat down across from me. I let out a scoff and rolled my eyes. “There was no traffic, Serena. You’re just a chronic latecomer.” I teased, giving a playful nudge on her shoulder. Serena smiled. “You know me too well.” I nodded in agreement. “Yes, what would you like to have?” I asked, passing her the restaurant’s menu. Serena pushed it to the side. “I’m not hungry yet, let’s talk about why you didn’t just meet me for lunch at the house.” She replied, raising a brow at me. I sighed, my shoulders sagging. “It’s Daddy, I don’t want to see

Chapter 68Parker Wellington ~•~I couldn’t focus on work, my eyes constantly drifting to my phone. I was waiting for an update from the NYPD. My contact, a trusted friend, had agreed to give me access to the CCTV footage from the traffic camera near Ivy’s apartment. I had promised Ivy that I would get to the bottom of the mysterious gifts and I was determined to keep that promise. Time dragged on and it felt like I had been waiting for an eternity. Then suddenly, my phone buzzed and I picked it up without hesitation. My lips curled into a small smile was I saw that it was my friend from the NYPD who had texted. In no time, I was done downloading the video he had sent. I already told him the particular thing I was looking for, so he sent me exactly what I wanted. I let out a scoff when I saw the person who dropped the gift basket in front of Ivy’s door. “Fucking Bastard!” I cursed through gritted teeth, slamming my hand on the wooden table. “Of course.” A wave of anger coursed t

It felt like I hadn’t seen her in ages even though we spent the entire weekend together. As I pulled up to her front porch, I saw her standing beside the door, a frustrated expression registered on her face. I quickly hopped out of the car and went to meet her. “Who sent you these?” I asked when I saw a gift basket and some flowers beside her leg. “Why do you look so worried?”Ivy sighed as she shrugged her shoulders. “I have no idea who sent them.” She replied, frustration evident in her voice. “I’ve been getting them for a while and they always come with creepy notes.” “Wow,” I muttered, rubbing the back of my head. “Why didn’t you tell me about it?” I asked, raising a brow at her. She looked so stressed about it and I didn’t want her to feel that way. “I thought the person would stop, but I was wrong.” I picked up the card that came with the basket.

He always made sure I was good and didn’t fail to send me food every day while I was at work.Even though I told him he didn’t need to because the company had a cafeteria, he insisted on treating me to a nice meal every day. I was grateful for his kind gesture. But despite the bliss, I kept on receiving unsettling packages from someone. I suspected it was Sebastian but I didn’t have any proof. I’m sure he must’ve tried to call me several times, but couldn’t reach me because I changed my number. I had to do it because that was the only way I could get rid of him.

As I answered the call, my father’s voice echoed from the other end of the line. “Ivy, come to my office. I want to see you.” I was taken aback because I had no idea t
