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! If I connect Lysander to a greater company which is a hundred times better than WASTON Group, he will be forever entitled to me but before I do this, I will have to destroy WASTON Group's image!“How are you going to do that?” Mom asked me but I assured her that she has to leave it to me. Adding that, this is my Battle and I'll do every damn thing in my power to win it even if it involves killing!The next day, I woke up to a response on the last chat I had last night with Mr Jones, the CEO of Shakas Group!They're one of the biggest Empires in Nether and are the only business foe of WASTON Corp which are ready to do anything to bring them down.I chatted with him last night, informing him about my plan to ruin the WASTON Group's image but before I can do this, I will need his support.This morning, he texted back. “Let's meet at Santiago's Villa”Without wasting further time, I took my bath and rushed to the designated Address.Upon
IVYIt's been days now and Ethan hasn't visited. I understand that I pulled him away but I can't stop myself from worrying about him. He has helped me a lot in this plan of mine and I think a THANK YOU wouldn't be too much to say to him.Since he read my message but didn't respond, I thought of paying him a visit.As I prepared to get going, someone knocked on my door.“My Queen, someone seeks your attention in the dinning!” A servant said, her voice professional and respectful. After taking a thorough thought on who may be looking for me as I wasn't expecting a visitor, furthermore, nobody knows I am the Unknown CEO of WASTON Group so who could that be?I directed this question to the servant who responded, “He goes by the name MR COOPER!” She responded, giving me an anticlimax. “Okay, I will be there shortly” I responded, before taking my clothes off and glaring at my standing breast. Why won't they be round and firm? I got deflowered a month ago when Lysander fucked me for the fi
CAMEIL“Is Lysander at home?” I directed to the security guard who nodded, responding, “Yes, he is inside”I thought of visiting Lysander to make things up as it has been two days since we last spoke and he hasn't even called me since then.I walked into the mansion and made my way straight to his bedroom. Upon getting there, Lysander was busy with his Laptop. Tomorrow is a very big day for him and he also planned to renew a contract with WASTON Group on this same day, maybe that's why he's busy.After standing at the door for minutes without him even noticing my presence, I finally cleared my throat, making some attractive sound.Lysander looked back at the door and saw me. Surprisingly, he ignored me and continued what he was doing. That was so strange of him.The last fight we had Five years ago before he married Ivy, he didn't act like this initially. This means that he is seriously pissed off.As Lysander continued operating his laptop and cellphone at the same time, I walked to
CAMEILIt took me by surprise to also see Ivy standing here as if she is the CEO of WASTON Group. But why?“I haven't come here to take the post of the CEO of WASTON Group nor identify myself as the CEO of WASTON Group…” Ivy finally responded, keeping her tone firm and refusing eye contact with anyone. “I have come here to actually stand in place for the CEO of WASTON Group!” She completed and finally looked at Lysander and I, probably to see our reaction.Lysander was the first to Yelp in surprise. The CEO had informed us that he'll be available for the Event today. Our manager at Steel's Group made that known to us.So, what is all this bullshit Ivy is saying here?“So you are trying to say that we won't see him today. But why?” Lysander asked with a disappointing face.“I am only an Assistant to the Real CEO. I am not responsible for his movement or his way of life” Ivy responded, forming her voice to be prudent, “Besides, you should be honored that he sent someone to represent him
CAMEIL“No, ‘Cameil! I am not a secret Agent, neither am I an agent of darkness! I am too smart to know your in and out moves and there's no freaking way you're going to deny that!” Ivy's voice echoed me out from my thoughts as if she had been listening to what I've been saying in my mind.While still trembling, I managed to control myself to have the courage to challenge Ivy's evidence.Before I could open my mouth to speak, Lysander spoke up after me.“Tell me that this evidence you showcased isn't true, Ivy” he asked, “For five years now, I've been bagging contracts with WASTON Group nonstop and just today that you were sent to represent the hidden CEO of this corporation, you terminated all of our contracts!” He started walking closer to Ivy, ignoring my presence. “Why do I feel like the CEO of WASTON Group didn't do this, Ivy? Why do I feel like all this is your plan to exact revenge on me? Why do I feel like you're the real master behind all these conspiracies?” He continued, h
IVY Cameil couldn't even stop the tears trying their possible best to flow down her face. I could see the huge amount of disappointment on her face. That was her precious Lysander sending her out of his house and she couldn't do anything to stop it. Instead, she held his hand and cried, “Don't tell me that you believed everything she said, Xander. We are so…” “Please, Cameil!” Lysander cut her, his voice full of disinterest. “I already made enough losses all because of you. I just asked for some space, I need some time to be alone” he added, ignoring facial contact with Cameil. Hearing this, Cameil shook her head in disappointment and humiliation. She started walking back, shame and fury swimming in her face. Stepping down from the stage, I was the first person Cameil set her furious eyes on. Her sight clearly implied how mad she was at me and of course, I am the person behind the downfall of her relationship with Lysander. “Don't think this is over, Ivy!” She whispered to
IVYI was still driving home when my phone started vibrating. I slow down the speed of my car to have a look at it and discovered it was Ethan on the call.“Ethan is calling me? But why?” I wondered to myself. He had previously stayed away from me for the past few days- no calls, no visitations, no checkups. And now, he is calling?Well, I'd love to know why he called.“Hello!” I responded, turning on my earphone.“Hi… I saw what happened tonight in the news and I wanted to tell you well done. You really dealt with Cameil by doing that”“Okay, thank you “ I responded with a disinterested tone though I was happy he called.“Are you still mad at me, Ivy?” He asked.“I am not in the mood to speak to you, Ethan. You saw it yourself in the media, I had a tough day and it was…”“How long will you be mad at me, Ivy?” Ethan inquired and at a sec, his tone melted my heart and all his cheerful deeds towards me started recounting on my head.“I only want to be there as a friend and help you in t
{Cameil}Immediately I returned home, I wasted no time in running to my room. I slammed the door angrily after me as I held my hair tightly. I feel like pulling my head off because I'm about to explode in anger.Not only did my plan fail, Lysander did the unimaginable! I can't believe that he proposed to Ivy today– asking her to marry him!Remembering this, I pulled off the bedspread and flung it away.

It is unimaginable to see the home I destroyed planning to reunite. It all seemed as though I am the fool here because I made the
[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. So, don't try getting hope of l
~IvyI couldn't scream or even make any sound. The man started drawing me backward and I was there hoping for one person to just turn their torchlight on.But nobody did that. 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
IvyOur car suddenly came to a halt, pulling me slightly from my seat. 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
