Chapter 81

Ivy 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 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 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’

    Ivy Chase~•~“You’re lying!” I hissed through gritted teeth as I pulled the blanket closer to my body. “There’s no way I’ll ever sleep with you!” Parker leaned against the dresser with a mischievous grin plastered across his face. His eyes sparkled with mockery and he folded his arms. “Oh sweetheart, you didn’t just sleep with me, you practically begged for it.” “You’re a disgusting liar!” I spat at him, not wanting to believe what he was saying. “It’s not possible. It can’t be possible!” Parker laughed, a cold, mocking laughter. “I’m not even sure if you’re pretending that you don’t remember or you actually don’t remember.” I honestly couldn’t remember any events from the previous night. My memory was scrambled and my head hurt as I tried to recall everything that happened. Even if it was difficult to remember, I was certain that I couldn’t have slept with Parker. If I did, it meant I cheated on my boyfriend with his biggest rival. And that would be really bad! I hope it was

    Ivy Chase ~•~ I stood in front of the mirror and looked at my reflection. I picked up the hairbrush from the vanity and brushed my long brown hair. After that, I packed it into a sleek ponytail. With everything that had been going on, I hadn’t gotten the chance to visit the salon. But I had to do my hair by myself because I was having dinner with Sebastian and needed to look presentable. The thought of the dinner sent a shiver down my spine. He still had no idea what happened the previous night. After I left his house because of his annoying secretary, he texted me to apologize. I didn’t want to continue living with the guilt of cheating on him, so I asked him to let me know when he would be free. I wanted us to talk. He suggested that we have dinner at a fancy restaurant. I wanted it to be in private, but I reluctantly agreed. I mean, Sebastian wasn’t a fan of crowded places, so I guessed it would be kind of empty. I took a deep breath as I smoothed out my dress. Then I

    Ivy Chase ~•~ Tears rolled down my eyes as I walked in the cold rain. I was frustrated and angry because Sebastian didn’t even care to come after me. It was dark and rain pounded against my skin as I walked through the streets of New York. A part of me was scared and I increased my pace in order to get back home quickly. My heart raced with every step I took, it wasn’t safe for me to be outside all by myself. Just as I turned around to the corner of a street, the sound of a car horn echoed through the air. I hestistawd for a moment, wondering if I should turn around. Maybe, just maybe, Sebastian had finally come to his senses and was chasing after me. I turned slowly and let out a disappointed scoff as I realized that it wasn’t Sebastian’s car. Just as I was about to continue walking, I heard a familiar voice. “Hop in the car, it’s not safe to walk alone in the dark.” Parker’s voice pierced through the quiet air. I stood still as he gestured for me to get into his car.

    Ivy Chase ~•~ “Someone set me up?” My voice was barely above a whisper. “Why would anyone do that to me?” I asked, still trying to wrap my head around everything. Parker nodded. “Yes, someone set you up.” He responded like he was so certain. I couldn’t hold back a scoff. Set me up? I wasn’t sure if I should believe him or not. I couldn’t bring myself to trust him. What if I was just a pawn in a silly game he was playing? First of all, I woke up in the same room with him without any knowledge of how I got there. And now, he is saying that someone set me up. He was being ridiculous. When he saw how hesitant I looked, he cleared his throat and continued. “I’m being honest here, I found the guy who was originally sent to your room.” “What are you even talking about?” I asked, my brows furrowed slightly. I was beginning to feel overwhelmed because too many things were happening at the same time. There were too many questions, with barely any answers. I didn’t even kn

    Ivy Chase ~•~ 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 n

    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

    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
