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
IVYJust as Cameil was about to pull the trigger, someone yelled from behind. “They are here!” He yelled and Cameil looked instantly.The person who had made the utterance was the man who looked suspicious to me while buying street food earlier and I think he works for Cameil.“Who is here?” Cameil asked, her voice loud and hasty.“There are two cars approaching this premises and as I speak to you, they are on their way here!” The young man said in a rushy tone. “ I think the best thing to do here is run! Other things can follow but for now, we need to protect ourselves, Ma'am!” Cameil turned to me with an excruciating face filled with anger! “This isn't over, Ivy!” She uttered, lowering her gun. “Don't think I won't get back at you, I will never quit!”“You should be the one begging me not to destroy you because at the mention of your name, you will be spending all of your lives in jail!” I threatened, a smile of confidence dancing on my face.Cameil grabbed my hair instantly and
IVY“Hmmmm?” I muttered following how silent Lysander suddenly went. He hasn't said a word since and I'm curious as to why he came here. I'm the last person he wished to save in this world, so it has got me mouth-opened as to why he came here!“It's nothing really much” Lysander finally spoke up, bringing back his cruel and uncaring look. “I saw when those men abducted you so I followed them here. There is nothing more and there is nothing less to that”He took a step back and looked at me “Since another person has saved you, I really don't see the need to stay here!” He turned back and attempted to walk away but stopped and looked at me once more. “I don't want you to go about thinking I came here to save you for something else or another thing. The mutual hatred between us is still there. I am not that cruel to watch a lady die before my eyes!”“But you were cruel enough to watch my unborn child die before your very eyes!” I said immediately after him, my voice low and emotionalize
{Lysander}Even with the brightness of the day, I couldn't take my eyes off Ivy. How beautiful she is!As I stared at her closed little eyes and arousing lips, I smiled gently but before I knew what was going on, Ivy opened her eyes immediately and our eyeballs hit each other!She pushed me off her face.“Who the heck are you and where am I?” She asked angrily, gripping the duvet tightly. She stared at her undies and screamed instantly.“What did you do to me?” “Calm down, Ivy!” I said with a cool voice “This is not what you think”“Then tell me what I should be thinking when I'm lying on your bed naked! You dared to take advantage of me?” She yelled immediately after me.Other days, I would have slapped her by now but I don't know why I restricted myself from getting sad following how Ivy yelled at me.“You've gone dumb?” She added “I asked for an explanation. How did I get on this bed with my naked body? The last time I checked, I never called you for a pickup, so what am I doing h
{Lysander}“I've always suspected your devilish act! Just because you were unable to ruin Ivy when you were a couple, you thought you could take advantage of her now?” He yelled at me while clutching my collar tightly.I pulled his hand off me, pushing him off my sight.“I never told you that I wanted to do anything special with Ivy!”“Then why on earth did you bring her into your matrimonial room knowing how tipsy she was?” Ethan asked immediately after me, his tone and sight filled with rage!“I had my reasons for doing that! And whatever my reasons may be, I don't need anybody, especially not you, to give an explanation to!” I responded angrily and Etah attempted to step forward but Ivy pushed him back.She managed to make him cool a bit but his eyes were still stuck on me in rage!Stepping forward, Ivy pointed her fingers at me.“I've said it before but won't really mind repeating it!” Her voice was so commanding, “If I confirm that you actually did something to me, I won't take i
{Lysander}“I'm sorry, Sir, but we had no option but to buy stocks on loan! At the moment, the accumulated loan is $13 Trillion….”“Shut the fuck up!” I yelled angrily to my manager of finances and indirectly to the whole board members present.The administration is so bad that they had the audacity to sign and buy goods worth over trillions just because they wanted to increase sales and now my company is imposed with this heavy amount!Where do I even get such an amount of money to pay back the loan? Our profit share isn't even up to that!Shit!“I think there is still hope here, Mr Steel!” The joint director uttered, showing me some files.“The only hope of survival of our company is Waston Group!” He said and I turned to him mysteriously. “Waston Group?” I asked and he nodded “Yes!”“They're the biggest in the whole world and this money is nothing to them! They're ready to do it if we're ready to…”“But you are very much aware that our relationship with the WASTON Group recently cr
~IvyFor the past few days, my relationship with Ethan keeps getting better and better.We've even raised funds for each other.Yep, you heard me right…our relationship has grown to be super stronger than the previous time we met.Though Ethan has his company, he decided to go with me to the office to check on the board members and to see how they are preparing for the mass delivery which is gonna be global!Our company will be partnering with the top fifty companies in the world for a new project which further improves our sales.An accumulated profit of SEVENTY TRILLION DOLLARS will be made from this partnership and I'm glad that this company has been booming ever since I became the Silent CEO.“Are you nervous?” ETHAN asked, gripping my hand softly as we walked into the board room.“Of course not!” I responded, giving him an assuring smile “Not like anyone in this company knows that I am the CEO! Only my P.A and my secretary are aware of my identity. Plus I'm only going into there
~IvyWhat is he doing here? I swallowed some spits before gathering some energy to walk up to him, assuming that I never said anything wrong.“And what are you doing here?” I asked, crossing my hands but Lysander's eyes were all fixed on Ethan.“I asked a question and I need some tangible answers to my question!” I spoke out firmly, grabbing his attention “You do know that trespassing is a crime and eavesdropping is wrong? So, what have you come here to do?”“I want to speak with you, Ivy?” He said, giving me a sudden heart attack. He grabbed my hand instantly and attempted to walk out when Ethan grabbed my other hand.“Ivy goes nowhere!” Ethan declared, his eyes filled with rage as he exchanged dangerous glare with Lysander.“The last time I checked, you don't have the power to influence Ivy's decision!”Lysander gripped me even tighter “You're not her father neither are you her brother! You are in no position to tell Ivy what and what not to do!”“And the last time I checked, you di

IvyThe timid and astonishing expression in Nicky's eyes didn't seize. She glared at me with some awkward manner, her heart beating so fast.“This can't be true” She meditated before, as she walked close to Ethan, with an innocent face.“Believe me, Sir” She wept. “It wasn't my intention to break the contract rules. She had disrespected me and made me seem like a fool! Can you give me another chance, Sir?”“There is no second chance, Nicky” Ethan responded, his hands still fixed in his pocket. “You deeply annoyed her and even if she wasn't the person in this case, is this how you go about disrespecting and making fun of customers who are not as wealthy as you expect?”Nicky attempted to defend herself but Ethan cut her off!“If there is anyone who has the power to forgive you, it is Ivy and not me! I am not in a position to make that decision!”“Are you implying she pleads for Ivy's forgiveness to get back this job?” Cameil jumped out from behind, walking into the limelight!She has b
Nicky never expected such a slap from me as she had always known me as a slow and weak person; with the way she stared at me, her hands placed on her cheeks in astonishment, I was very satisfied.“That is to let you know that there are people you are never to mess with!” I added, my fingers still pointing at her face.“How dare you raise your hands at Nicky and who let you in here?” A voice contemplated from behind. I didn't have to look back. The person just walked to us, guess who?Cameil.“Who let you in here to disrespect my friend right in her lounge? Don't you have some respect for yourself to see that people like you are not welcomed here?” Cameil scolded, raising her voice like I was a child.“Have you gone suddenly deaf?” She added “I think you should be asking your friend how she goes about disrespecting her customers in her own so called RESTAURANT!’” I protested, my eyes stuck with Cameil's. She took a step closer to me “Customers?” She scoffed “Who and who are the cus
I drove straight to the Suite where Rach asked me to meet up with her. She is an administrative head and I trust her with many of my business plans.Especially with our new company which was launched seven days before Lysander divorced me.“VIP section 2” I asked the waiter who welcomed me to the suites. “I will take you there, Ma'am!” He responded, bowing before me. I guess he respected the fabulous way which I dressed.Arriving at the opulent, cool and tantalizing Lounge, I flipped my hair backward and turned to the waiter“Thank you, you may leave” I appreciated, smiling confidently at the waiter who reverted the smile.I passed through the curtains, walking straight to where Rach was waiting for me.“Here you are, Ivy” Rach greeted, standing up to give me a hug.After embracing each other, Rach shifted the documents to me.“Have a look at them” she added, opening her own documents while I flipped through the pages“The board president at GUC is suggesting we keep our plans hidden
