"Really?" Cameil said, coming closer to me as if she wasn't bothered at all.

"I can't believe that you still kept the hope that if I lose this game, I'll be kneeling for you. How pathetic you could be!" She added, giving me a sarcastic smile.

I couldn't even control the anger strolling through my veins, I knew that this bitch would never keep to her word.

"What now?" Her voice jolted me from my anger "Are you gonna beat me or make me kneel before you without my consent... Jokes on you, Ivy!"

"You're right, I won't force you to kneel for me but I can do this..." I halted and immediately landed a FILTHY slap on her face.

"This is what you get for going against our agreement! Agreement is always an agreement, Cameil!"

"How dare you raise your hands on my fiance?" Lysander cut in immediately while Cameil clutched her face angrily. I'm not surprised, after all, he has promised the entire world for her, defending her in this case

    CAMEILJust as I was about to click the 'Send' option, a voice echoed from behind. "You seemed to be in a happy mood this morning, huh?" I looked back and saw Lysander. I can't stand and watch him stay in darkness so I asked him to guess why I'm happy."You know I'm not good at guessing!" He said, his face infused with curiosity."Okay then, I will tell you why I am happy!" "Well, Xander. The person you're seeing just sealed a deal with the Landings Group! I am the latest Vice President Of Landings Group!" I said, turning around with an exciting smile on my face.While I turned, I noticed that Lysander wasn't fully happy about this. This got me hooked because he ought to be happy, after all, he needs a massive connection for Steel's Group to expand."And what's keeping you from being happy?" I asked, seizing the smile on my face. "Something happened?" I added but he chuckled instantly "Nothing happened, Cam...""I'm happy for you""But you

    IVY"Are you sure you want to do this, Ivy?" Ethan asked, following the call I just made. I guess he never expected me to make a phone call requesting for all the gross profit of the Landings Group to be diminished!"I've never been this sure in my life, Ethan! I have so much faith that this plan will work out and Cameil will be getting it more than hot in the announcement party!" I responded with a strict face, no atom of joy was found in my expression.Ethan walked close to me and gripped my hands softly. As he raised my hand closer to his face, I seized to remove my face from his. And at this point, I don't know why my heart started beating fast!"I've always known you as a very soft lady, Ivy! But I never knew you could be as cruel as this..." He said, raising my attention to be rather curious than concerned."I don't understand, Ethan!" I said and Ethan chuckled softly. "I've never seen you this determined and cruel in my life, Ivy""We've known our

    She continued walking toward me with a hostile face. Of course, she's Cameil's devilish mother, who supported her daughter's plan to become a fake Vice President.We've known for quite a time now, but I never really got to see her other side. Just like her Snake of a daughter, she used to pretend before me as the best mother in the whole world!"I don't have time for you, Miss Gloria. Just like any other guest here, I was also invited!" I responded, keeping my face off hers."I don't care if you were invited to this party or not, what I know is that you're not allowed to step your cursed Feet into this villa tonight!" "And why shouldn't I step into the villa?" I asked instantly "From what I heard, this party was organized by Thai Godson of the Landings Corp. Gloria wasn't even listed as part of the Servants hosting the party!""Excuse me?" She kicked off angrily, "In case you have forgotten, My husband is the President's PR manager! I advise you to keep your ton

    We stared nonstop at each other, our eyes filled with rage. I've never seen Gloria this terrified and at the same time, she hasn't seen me so determined like this before.As we stared at each other, I left her angrily, remembering that there was more to achieve this night."I'll be on my way now!" I said, pulling out a generous smile. That smile confused Gloria a lot. She wouldn't stop staring at me but I have a mission to complete this night.I turned back to see Lysander's face for the last time before walking into the banquet. His face implied his total surprise and non-expectation of my sudden change in courage.I know he'll be baffled to see the kind of person I've grown to become but what I did earlier was called for and many more are waiting for him."Miss Moore?" A waiter said, and I looked up."How can I be of help to you?" I asked, sipping my glass of wine gently.The waiter pointed to a specific area in the banquet, asking me to go there. I don't know what that place is tho

    The entire guests started checking their phones as if new messages were trooping in, they might be members of Landings Corp or part of the board members.As Cameil stared at Mr Thai in surprise, someone spoke from behind. "I've always known that this lady won't be able to lift the company to the highest standard! Just a day she was given a loyalty test, she already failed it!" A board member said while Thai's face was still vibrating in anger. The way he stared at Cameil, as if he would devour her, wasn't he the same person who made her secure this contract? I had to ask myself but his voice echoed from the stage."If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have...""Please, Mr Thai! You know that I am not as wicked as you thought neither am I foolish. This is an amicable issue which we can resolve through dialogue, not by causing Fuss!" Cameil cut Mr Thai off, preventing him from revealing that she had made him announce her as the VP temporarily."Shut up, Cameil!" Mr Thai yell

    IVYAs Lysander said these words, I could only stare at him in silence. I don't know what to give to him as a response because the files in my possession entail the collective negotiations that Cameil did run the Loyalty test of increasing Landings Corp profit through WASTON Group.Aside from this, the documents which Lysander held also show that Cameil had purposely made Landings Corp make such losses and worst of all, it shows that the agreement was between "Cameil Stone, Thai Of Landings Corp, and WASTON Group.So, seeing this, Lysander should believe that Cameil did sign an agreement with Mr Thai."I asked a question, Ivy. How did you get these documents, are you a member of WASTON Group?"Lysander's voice woke me from thoughts. I looked up at him, stopping my heart from beating fast.In resentment, I nodded. "Yes! I am a member of WASTON Group!" I said, pulling out a negotiable smile to relax their escaped hearts. "I am a Secretary to the CEO of WASTON Group. So that's how I wa

    IVYCameil opened her mouth in amazement, seeing how Lysander had yelled at her. She never expected him to raise his voice at her nor did she know when she had said the truth herself.To correct her mistake, Cameil ran to Lysander instantly. Shaking her head in confusion, she said, “That was never what I meant, Lysander” “You know how much Ivy and this guy here hates me, they're ready to do anything to separate us… Believe me, Xander, it was a just a slip of the tongue ““A slip of the tongue?” Lysander's voice echoed sharply immediately after Cameil's. “Cameil you don't have to call this a slip of the tongue when you know very well that the evidence was tangible enough to prove how wrong you are!”He folded his arms and stared eyeballs to eyeballs at Cameil. His voice filled with spite and rage, he continued “You know how much I hate Liars, right? You know how much I despise those who claim to be what they're not…” “Even after knowing this, you still went ahead and lied about your fa

    CAMEILMom is actually making a lot of sense here!

    [LYSANDER]I drove hastily on the busy road, the scene of Ivy and Ethan hugging reflecting on my head. I couldn't hold myself from remembering how Ethan confessed his feelings to Ivy and she also accepted– telling him that she also loves him.“Hughhhhhh!” I groaned, hitting my steering in anger. I don't care if this is called JEALOUSY or not. All that I know is that I have fallen head over heels for Ivy. If anyone had told me that I would eventually love Ivy at the end, I wouldn't have believed.At first, I thought I was using her to get on the good side of the unknown CEO of WASTON Group but later on, I realised that I love her so much.I even planned to propose to her. I thought I could make her mine again, but Ethan was also there kneeling with a ring in his hands. I didn't have any idea that he also planned to propose to Ivy. Had I known, I would have gone first and asked Ivy to be my wife.But No! I played the COWARD card. I pressed on the BRAKE and my car squashed to a halt

    ~IvyI walked Caleb and the cops down the stairs where Caleb was put in the van. Mr Tiago handshakes me. “Thank you so much, Miss Moore for bringing this issue to our notice. I promise that we won't be so lenient with this issue!”“Thank you, Officer…. You absolutely did your best!” I smiled at the inspector, exchange handshakes. Just as he was about to leave, some cars started driving into the compound. I was astounded to see this because aside from the police, I didn't notify any other person about my abduction. So who are all these people and what are they doing here?As I wondered about this, the people started walking out of their cars. Well, they were the Press.“Who called them here?” I turned to Mr Tiago who smiled at me. “I did call them some minutes ago. This doesn't have to remain anonymous, right?”I nodded, reversing the smile. “Of course!”Mr Tiago understands the assignment too well, he knows what to do and how to do it.But the Press who are present here were the sa

    ~IvyI could see the astonishment on Caleb's face. He never expected me to turn my back against him but what could I have done?Not like I have a choice, do I? I just planned everything and had all my plans arranged one after the other.Before the party started, I was already aware of Caleb's plan to abduct so I called the police to inform them beforehand;“Hello. Am I speaking with SPO2 Tiago Ramos?”=“Yes. Ma'am. May I know your reason for calling”}“I want you to assign me some of your men to be present in my launching partnership with JK Group. They shouldn't act when they see me getting abducted. They should only tail the car which had abducted me. And upon my approval, you Amy show your faces!”{“Copied, ma'am”}This was my conversation with the inspector. And here we are, it all went according to my plan!As the officers stared at me, Caleb gave me a devouring glare as he made a slightly strained movement, as if trying to break free from the chair.“You are a BETRAYER, Ivy!” H

    Caleb gave me a stare which I couldn't process. But examining it clearly, it seeemd as though he would not reveal anything to me judging from his enraged eyes and clenched fists.But surprisingly, he nodded his head.“Yes, Ivy. I am the father of Cameil's child. You know the truth yourself so why are you making it difficult for you and me!”I smiled in my teeth after hearing Caleb's words. The camera captured that and it was time to move to the next stage of the inquiry. My goal was to have everything he said recorded so that I will have enough substantial evidence against Cameil when she tries to deny it all before the world.As I thought this to myself, Caleb fumed on his captivated body. “How long are we gonna play this game of question and Answer? Untie me and let me out of this place!”“Do you think it's that easy?” I asked, my eyes narrowing with suspicion, hoping to find more words from Caleb.“I have thousands of questions I need your reply to.

They only murmured“Why did the lights go off?”At this moment, I knew it was time to take my plan to the next level.No doubts, the person who pointed his gun at me was none other person butt Caleb. I heard his voice clearly. Aside from that, I knew it right from time that he would be executing his plan.I raised my hands above my head and willingly went alongside Caleb. No hesitation!The moment we got outside, he covered my face immediately with a sack. I was still going according to the plan, obeying every word Caleb says.I could only ask questions, pretending to be DAFT.“Who are you and why did you adopt me? Don't you know who I am?” I tried to threaten him but he pushed me inside his car and drove off.After a long drive, his car finally came to a halt. Just when he was about to bring me down from the

    ~IvyEthan and Lysander had their faces glued to each other, their faces expressed in astonishment. They seemed to be unaware that they were there together, kneeling together.But how possible?“What is going on here?” I was forced to make an utterance. “Is this a joke?” Ethan stood up first, taking my hand softly. “I don't know what this guy is doing here, Ivy. But believe me when I say that I planned all this for you. I wanted to tell you how much I love you and also prove to you that I am the best man for you. I don't know how Lysander got here!” He explained, his eyes laced with sympathy. I could see the HONESTY in his eyes. The way he looked at me, smiled at me and even protected me. All those memories just embraced my brain and I couldn't stop myself from glaring into Ethan's eyes.He stretched my hands forward, bringing out his ring as he uttered.“I can tell from your look what your answer is, Ivy! Thank you for granting me this wish. I love you, Ivy!”Ethan's voice was fill

    ~IvyI made my way to the banquet where the launching ceremony would take place. Everywhere was already decorated beautifully with Valentine's colour– all red. The walls and the screens showed samples of beautiful designs or rather past designs made by JK Group in the past.“What a wonderful decoration” I murmured to myself, reaching out for a glass of wine before me.Then, I remembered Ethan. He said he would be coming to the event but he is not here yet. What could have kept him up by this time? I brought out my phone, attempting to dial Ethan's number when I remembered the text he sent me minutes ago. I ceased dialing his number, recollecting that Ethan and Lysander had both sent the same message. Word to word and paragraph to paragraph.Leaving me wondering what “surprise” they have for me. Regardless of that, I still went on to dial Ethan's number but received no response.Just then, someone touched me from behind.“Sorry to disturb you, Miss Moore but I have been asked to br

My phone even fell off from my hand.I had to sit properly, adjusting my posture. “What is the problem?” I shouted, glaring angrily at the driver.“Madam, there are so many people standing before us. I don't know why they are here but it seems as though something is going on”“What is it?” I queried instantly. “Go have a look… I don't want to be late for this occasion!”“Okay, ma'am…” The driver stammered, pulling off his seatbelt. Just as he wanted to step down, I spoke up.“Never mind!” I rolled my eyes from him. “I will check it out myself!”I opened the door and walked out. The driver was right, there were indeed a large number of people on the road. And they seemed to be concentrating on one person.I examined them properly and couldn't differentiate them from the press. They were the press. But who are they interviewing?I wore my shades, positioning my movement to corespond with my flamboyant dress. As I wa
