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 friend? Have some shame, Xander!" At this point, I didn't care about how betrayed I was and what my rights were under the Steel's mansion. All I wanted was an answer which Lysander attempted to give when I cut him off "Tell me, is she the third wheel? Tell me if Cameil was behind all these. Give me some answers, Lysander!" I yelled angrily as my eyes seized to remove from his face. "I don't need to tell you that we are divorced which means that whatever we had is over..." He paused and dragged Cameil who was already dressed up. Then he continued "Cameil here has been my backbone ever since I was forced to marry you! She gave me everything you couldn't give me, so why shouldn't I get her pregnant and make her my wife?" My heart froze immediately after Lysander's proclamation. What does he mean by that? Was he trying to say that Cameil is already pregnant with his child? Lysander and I may be divorced but I still can't stand seeing him moving on with another woman talk more of my Bestie! I turned to Cameil whose face was filled with remorse. "And you, cheating with my husband...oh my ex-husband was your priority?" "I trusted you, Cameil. I did everything you wanted me to, I told you my secrets, I shared all of my pains and happiness with you and all you could think of was paying me back by cheating with my ex-husband!" I yelled, my voice refusing to accept that Lysander was beside me and he might get angry. This is worse than divorce papers so I have to wail more to this than Divorce! Cameil remained silent, refusing to say anything. The remorse was in her face but her body language told that she wasn't regretting any of her actions. "That's enough, Ivy! Cameil and I have come too far to back out from this... We are DIVORCED meaning I didn't cheat on you. What brought you to my house, take whatever you possessed and get the fuck out of my house". Lysander said with a cool voice as if he cared about me. "I refuse to accept your claims, Xander! You know I love you but you divorced me. It wasn't even up to 24 hours after Divorce and you already picked my best friend?" "Cameil and I had been in a relationship for seven years now! We loved each other even before you married me..." Lysander said after me but I cut him off "I am aware of that, Lysander! You both dated but broke up the moment you landed in Coma. She was asked to carry out the insemination but she refused, now she is back in your life after I proceeded with the surgery!" "You're wrong, Ivy!" Cameil finally spoke up in a remorseful tone. "I rejected the insemination because I had papers in Germany. I was still carrying out my B.sc in medicine, my father wanted me to do that as soon as it was possible...." "No need for explanation, Cameil. I forgave you for abandoning me and we were back again for five years now..." Lysander cut Cameil off before turning to me "The servants will bring your pieces of luggage in no time! Take them and leave this house!" His phone rang instantly and he walked out. Cameil stood on the sofa and crossed her legs. She is used to this kind of luxury, isn't she? Her father is the President's P.R. so why won't she feel at home stealing my husband after rejecting him five years ago? I guess that's what nature wanted. Maybe I wasn't destined to be with Lysander. No need for further confrontation, I just have to take what I came here for and leave. One of the servants brought my luggage downstairs with tears around her eyes. I could tell that she didn't want me to leave but I had to go. I grabbed my luggage and looked at the home we made together. So, I'll be leaving the man I love for my fake best friend? What has to be has to be. Even if I cry from now till infinity, Lysander will never accept me back. I turned back to leave when Cameil stepped on my way. She looked at me with a cruel face, her remorseful face had all disappeared. "Excuse me, Cameil. I have to leave!" I said, locking my bags tightly but she kicked one of my luggage away. I turned to her angrily "And what is the meaning of this, Cameil? Haven't you done enough?" "I just wanted to remind you not to ever mention to Xander that I am infertile! You know all of my secrets and so do I!" She uttered with a threatening glance. "I am not stupid to tell Lysander that you're not pregnant. Instead, I will be happy when he learns the truth himself. I mean, your Tommy will rise, won't it? Lysander will eventually find out about your baby... Now, excuse me!" I responded and picked up my bag which she had previously thrown. I attempted to walk past her when she grabbed my hair so tight. "Let go of me, Cameil!" I screamed in pain but she wouldn't let me go. "I only befriended you ten years ago because I had some problems with my dad! I needed a friend to be close to and also live under her roof. Five years ago when I finally reconciled with my dad, I wanted to end this stupid friendship but kept it because I loved Lysander! I confessed the truth to you about my past relationship with Lysander so you will know that I am still loyal to this friendship. Now that he finally divorced you, I don't see the need to pretend again!" She said while clutching my hair so tight. I was still lost in pain while feeling Betrayed over Cameil's confession. So, she was never a FRIEND! "Let go of me, Cameil or I will tell Lysander the whole truth!" I threatened, hoping she'd let me go but she smirked "Not when I convince Lysander that you're a murderer..." Her utterance was baffling. Before I could have a second thought, she left me. I struggled for oxygen while recovering from her evil grip but she started screaming "Lysander, come and help me! Xander... Please help me!" I had to turn back to see what the problem was but upon turning, she stabbed herself in the belly! "Cameil!" A voice screamed from behind and I turned. That was Lysander staring at me while I held a knife in my hand. That was the same knife Cameil used to stab herself but I am the one holding it! Lysander pushed me away and I hit my head on the nearest sofa. I could hear Cameil's voice pointing towards me "She did this!" Cameil managed to say before closing her eyes. "Santos, Jakub, Chris! Get the car ready and grab this woman! Put her in the car, let's go!" Lysander yelled and his two bouncers- Santos and Chris grabbed me up. Whatever the future holds for me, I don't know!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
Mrs Karen's words made me feel so empty, hollow and shattered into a million pieces. The thought of never holding my baby in my arms, never seeing their smile, never hearing their laughter... it's almost too much to bear."You can't be serious, Doc!" I exclaimed. "No, my child is still here with me" I protested, forcing myself to believe it was all a lie, but Mrs Karen's expression said it all- I indeed lost my son!I had thought that this baby would open a new chapter in my relationship with Lysander but it failed when he gave me those papers to sign. I signed them with the hope that I have someone to wipe my tears when Lysander is not around but that glimpse of hope is gone and it is all because of one person- Lysander Steel!I seized the tears flowing down my cheeks, clenching my fists as I remembered when I told Lysander that I was pregnant with his child! I even explained to him the danger of transfusing my blood to Cameil but he was persistent with his decision, and now I lost m
Lysander attempted to touch me, but the young man hit him in the face. He walked me to the car, opening it for me, and ensuring I entered before he walked back to Lysander."Don't you ever think of touching Ivy again! She is no longer yours, okay?" He warned, his fingers pointing straight to Lysander's face. It was never my wish to stare at Lysander but I had to look at him last time, my body was so filled with rage as I watched all the love I had for Lysander burn into HATRED!"Don't worry, Ivy, you'll never be able to see his face again!" The young man who had previously helped me with his car, said, his hand holding my right hand."Thank you,... Ethan!" I said, pulling a gentle smile on my face. He was no new to me, I'd known him for ages and recently chatted with him when I was at the hospital to come pick me up at the mansion.I'm glad he arrived on time and picked me before Lysander!Ethan glanced at me, his brow furrowed with concern. 'We're heading to the mansion, Ivy. Are yo
Two days already passed and I've been living my life like a QUEEN that I am. Grandpa previously promised to support me throughout this mission of mine. He assured me that whatever I did, he's gonna help me out in that.I'm not backing down. I'm strong, and I've sent spies to keep a close eye on Lysander and Cameil. The only way to defeat your enemies is by keeping a close watch on them. I've done this, keeping a very close watch on Cameil and Lysander. This was how I learnt that Cameil is out of the hospital and already engaged to Lysander.My informant, Mr Grey, revealed to me that Cameil now lives with Alexander in his mansion. What a cool way to begin my plots!I just finished taking my bath and was wearing my dress when someone knocked at the door."Who is that?" My voice echoed, while I continued wearing my ornaments."May I come in?" Ethan requested, his voice sounding eccentric.I Wonder what could have brought him here. "Of course, you may!" I responded, fully done with my bod
"Really?" I asked, my face humming up with a smile. I could see clearly on Cameil's face how angered she was to see me there, but her rage was covered with those vengeful smiles."I shouldn't be answering your questions, Ivy. After all, we are not in the same class!" Cameil responded, rolling the glass of wine in her hand."I don't have your time as well, Cameil. Unlike you, I have a very big role to play in this place today..." I said, attempting to walk out when Cameil grabbed my hands.She pulled me backwards, her eyes filled with rage. She stared at me as if she would devour me, her skin vibrating in anger."Don't you ever walk out on me, Ivy! You are still a nobody..." Cameil added, her tone dimmed.My eyes moved from Cameil's head down to her toes before looking at her hands which were gripping my fist. I pulled her hands off me with my left hand. My fingers pointing down to her face, I warned "I will let this slide for today, Cameil. But the next time you ever dare to interrupt
Everyone already settled down in the grand event, taking their seats according to when they booked their tickets. Ethan was sitting in seat number 3, and all the seats were already occupied except sear numbers 0,1 and 2. After listening to Lysander and Cameil's conversation, I made my way back to the event and attempted to sit in Seat Number 0 when someone held my hand."Don't be so fast, Ivy!" I turned back and saw Cameil holding my hand, her eyes filled with rage."Excuse me!" I commanded, pushing Cameil out of my grip. "I will not allow such intolerance in this event. Not from you, not from anyone else!" I added, my eyes puffing out and shining brightly at Cameil.Her action pulled everyone's attention so all eyes were on us but I couldn't care less. I ignored Cameil by bending down to collect my bidder's paddle but she grabbed my hand once more."Why do you always have to act like the boss, Ivy?" She asked furiously "The seat you are attempting to claim doesn't belong to you. I th
Lysander's gaze seized to move from mine. I could feel his anger which was displayed clearly in his veins."I asked everyone to quit, so what on earth are you doing?" Lysander inquired, his eyes persistently stitched to mine."I'm bidding the Pendant of course, what else do you think I'm doing?" I responded but he cut me off instantly "Stop this bull shit, Ivy. You of all the people should understand clearly that the necklace belongs to Grandma, why on earth are you bidding for it?" I made sure my expression was belittling so that Lysander would understand that his yelling didn't freak me in any way. I opened up to him that I didn't want to have any misunderstanding with him.Furthermore, this is a bidding. Whatever is brought out is ensured to be sold! He was lost in complete eyesight! His looks at me explained how disappointed he was at me and of course, I don't give a damn because we are now divorced.I was lost in happiness as I took a gentle gaze at Cameil who was already quiver
~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
~IvyI watched Caleb as he walked out of the restaurant.Seeing him, I grinned sharply. He thought he could get some words out of my mouth but, similar to him, I came here with a motive. I wouldn't leave my precious company to meet up with Caleb just to discuss business. I came here to play my own part of the game in bringing Cameil down.When Caleb went to make that phone call, I magneted a live audio recorder in his wallet. Whatever he says, I will listen to it all.Even at this moment!I brought out an ear bud and put it on my ear. I don't know Caleb's reason for wanting a negotiation with my company but whatever he has in mind against me, I will be learning about it all in this recorder because whatever says and whatever he hears will be automatically heard by me!“Ma'am, are you leaving already?” A masculine voice gawked, pulling me from my thoughts. I smiled at him.“Yes. I will be on my way now!” I responded, packing my bags. When I was through, I walked out of the restaurant,
•Caleb’s POVI walked into my car immediately, commanding the driver to take off. Initially, I had requested for a physical meeting with the CEO of WASTON Group but he directed me to her Secretary– Ivy.I really don't know why he has to keep her identity a secret. He is the only Billionaire who the world doesn't know his face and even those close to him refused to disclose any personal information about the unknown CEO of WASTON Group.It's even a good thing that he had asked me to go meet up with his secretary instead because I would even love to have a conversation with Ivy myself.Cameil wanted it. Who am I not to fulfill it?The business proposal I had petitioned to them was only to draw Ivy to my fashion event on February 14th.There, I will execute my plan by shooting her dead and making her regret making Cameil's life miserable!“We have arrived at the Restaurant, Sir. Should I open the car for you?” My driver inquired, bringing me back to reality.“Yes. Of course!” I smiled, t
