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.

    "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..."

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.

You have the guts to raise your hand on an elder who is old enough to be your mother. How disrespectful you can be, Ivy!” Cameil added, raising her tone to grab more attention from the guests.But I wasn't buying that shit. I smirked at her. “You should be asking your precious mother-in-law what she had said to me to warrant my wrath! She asked for it, and of course, I gave it to her”“You should be ashamed of yourself, Ivy” Cameil added immediately after me, wearing that pretentious face of hers as if she is the holiest person in this world.“Mother here was only correcting you for your mistake.

I don't remember asking him to come over, but he also dressed so maturely as if he was going somewhere special.“What is going on, Ivy?” Ethan dragged me from my thoughts. “You seem to be surprised, is there anything wrong with my dressing code?”“Oh, about that….” I tried to stammer. “It's nothing, I wasn't expecting you to be here. So, I was kinda lost….”Ethan grabbed my fist softly. “I can't allow you to go over there alone, Ivy! I promised to always protect you and I am doing everything it takes to make that vow a reality!”His hands were so soft, I found peace in his words. As he grinned at me, I was assured of protection. Protection which Lysander failed to give me.“You already knew?” I managed to ask, while gripping his hand softly.“Of course, Ivy. I was aware of your plan to attend Lysander's birthday party.
