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"

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!

    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!"

    I stared blankly at the papers in my hands, the words 'Divorce Petition' screaming at me like a cruel taunt. My heart shattered into a million pieces as I read the cold, impersonal lines. "Yes, they are Divorce papers. If you look below, you'll see my signature boldly, I want to see your signature as well within 24 hours!" Lysander added, his voice as cold as usual, and his hands stocked to his pocket. I understand that he doesn't love me but we've lived for a while for this marriage to just come to an end. "Upon signing the papers, further communication should be made to my lawyer. The alimony has been prepared and you'll get everything you've always dreamt of..." Lysander's words came up again, his tone implying he was uninterested in this conversation. He stood confidently like he had just given me some medical prescription; No reason for this divorce, nothing at all. What seemed like hell was I couldn't even ask him why he gave me these papers. The reason is that in this

    My heart shattered into a million pieces as I watched Cameil spreading her legs widely- probably enjoying what she was receiving. Everything was just like a dream, I couldn't believe my eyes... My best friend for ten years now cheating with my husband? I searched the sun for some tears but they hung at the corners of my eyes as I walked inside the lounge.There was no atom of remorse on their faces, especially Lysander. He stood perfectly fine not even putting on an expression of remorse. I walked inside the lounge and stared eye-to-eye at Lysander "What on earth are you both doing, Lysander?" My voice cracked in slim thickness. Cameil attempted to speak up but Lysander held her back and walked forward."I should be the one asking you that question, what on earth are you doing in this house?" His voice summoned, leaving some threatening flow in my blood. I didn't mind, instead, I stepped closer angrily "We just got divorced, Lysander, and you're already cheating on me with my best f

    IVYThe next place I found myself was in a dark room. I don't have any idea how I got there as the last thing I remembered was Santos and Chris lifting me.I attempted to stand up but couldn't. My hands and legs were tied to an unknown place. This was when I realized that this was more than what I thought."Where am I?" Rhetorical questions started flowing out of my mouth as I kicked my legs and penetrated my body for an escape but couldn't escape."Somebody help me! Help... Somebody please help me!" I screamed with my deepest tone but no help was coming- only my voice echoing in the background.I stopped screaming when I heard some footsteps. They became louder... Wait! The footsteps were approaching me."Who is there? Who the heck are you?" I sounded rudely but the footsteps just kept approaching me but finally stopped. I could feel that someone was standing before me, not just someone- but someone I know too well."Just tell me right now, who you are, you don't know me and you won'

    "No, no, Lysander.... you can't do this! Please, Xander" I said, shaking my head slowly, my voice timid as usual. I have to do everything in my power to stop Lysander from doing this, otherwise I lose my baby. Lysander walked close to me and loosened the rope he used to tie me up. While he was doing this, his thick voice said "Be an obedient girl and get this transfusion done, only then will I consider sparing your life, Ivy!" He loosened the rope and stepped back from me. Still not heading on with this plan, I stood up angrily. Gazing at Mr Yaren, I took my attention to Lysander's face. Walking closer to him, I am more than determined to convince him not to do this no matter how he'd eventually scold me. "Mr Yaren, take her away!" Lysander said, Mr Yaren hesitant at first. Immediately Mr Yaren wanted to touch me, so I raised my left hand- implying to him not to touch me. Then I turned to Lysander "You don't want to believe that Cameil is lying? At least you can believe our family

    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

    "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

    "... Lysander!" I controlled how I yelped. I was positive, Ethan didn't kiss me. I knew the enigmatic approach of Lysander, so it was easy to feel those gentle kisses of him once more.As Lysander stared at me, I tried my possible best to avoid eye contact with him. And the host made it easier for us by proceeding us to the next level of the game which left Cameil and I at the finale. I'd do everything possible to win this level and emerge as the winner, then I could watch Cameil get on her knees and beg me.The next section came with a dancing competition. The host announced, adding that the couple with the corresponding body movement wins the challenge and couples with an act of cheating will be automatically disqualified.Immediately after the host's declaration, Ethan grabbed me by my waist and pulled me closer to him. As his eyes locked into mine as my feet stood on his shoes, I could see Lysander's eyes attached to us even though he was holding Cameil.This is

    "Will the six selected couples please step onto the stage?" The hosts, a man and a woman, said, smiling gently as the couples started making their way to the stage. As I stood there, Ethan stretched out his left hand, his fingers extended in a gentle invitation as if seeking to intertwine them with mine. I placed my hand in his, and together we walked out.The stage had separate tables for each couple placed in threes opposite each other. We got so unlucky to have Lysander and Cameil standing opposite us!"The first game is called 'Do you know me!'" One of the hosts said and the other added "The couples are advised to face each other with the female's eyes blindfolded. Something will be done to you and you predict it or if not your partner did that to you. I hope it's clear to you all?""And with that, let the game begin!"

    IVYLast night was worth the stress as I enjoyed the frustration on Lysander's face. One thing he hated is being ripped off of what belongs to him and I did that to him last night.While in my room, I raised the pendant and portrayed it in the mirror before me. As I gazed at it, I sniffed intensely remembering the beautiful relationship I used to share with Old Mrs Sylvie before her death. I know she may be sad that I took what she handed over to her son but I'm confident she'd understand why I did that.The moment I dropped the pendant, I saw a newsletter in the drawer beneath me. It has the heading 'The 2024 Couple Of The Year Edition' Picking the newsletter, I was lost in the thoughts of how much I wished I could attend this event someday as it was always full of so much fun. I was lost in these thoughts when a voice jolted me from behind "Do you wanna go to the event?" I turned back and saw Ethan. He previously went out to settle some issues in the office, I guess he's back alre
