IVY

I 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.

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,

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

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.

    ~Ivy 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

I barely had time to breathe before the door creaked open again.I turned, and there he was—Ethan.He strode toward me, his gaze fixed on my hunched figure, my hand pressed against my forehead, my expression contorted with fury.“I hope you're not too upset about what just happened,” he said gently, closing the space between us. “You said something quite bold out there… revealing your infertility in front of everyone—that must’ve cost you something.”A strained smile tugged at the corner of my lips. “You don’t have to worry about me, Ethan,” I murmured, my voice steadier than I felt.I reached out and took his hand in mine, holding it with quiet sympathy. “If anyone should be hurting right now, it’s you… not me.”His brows furrowed as he peered into my eyes. “But why would I be upset?” he asked, puzzled. “I’m not angry at all.”“You’re the one my heart beats for,” I whispered, my vo

    ~IvyI stood there, completely bewildered. My lips parted, but no words came out. To make things worse, a camera was pointed directly at us—some people had already gone live.Realizing that Lysander had tattooed my name on his chest sent waves of emotion crashing through me. I could feel the love and attraction.My gaze was glued to the ink etched across his abdomen. It wasn’t just beautiful; it symbolized something deeper—love.As I soaked in the moment, my eyes instinctively shifted behind me, landing on Ethan.His fists were clenched, jaw tight, body trembling as if he was one second away from doing something terrible.I knew right away that I had to regain control of the situation. Things could turn ugly for both Lysander and me.Lifting my eyes, I blinked hard, trying not to get emotional.“You don’t have to do this, Lysander,” I said sharply, avoiding looking him in the eyes. “My advGet up and leave.

    ~IvyI sat alone in my office, the flickering lights above barely pulling me out of the storm of memories crashing in my mind. Everything from last night played on repeat—Lysander's possessiveness, that shocking double proposal. It all made my stomach churn.Why now? I wondered bitterly. Why is everything spiraling just when I'm about to complete my mission—to bring Lysander and Cameil to their knees?I felt myself drifting, my thoughts detaching from reality, until a familiar voice from the TV jolted me back."The entire world is left in awe after the breathtaking moment shared by the CEO of Morale Groups and the alleged assistant to the hidden CEO of WASTON Group. Their romantic embrace last night has set the media ablaze..."The reporter's words pierced through me. Of course—they were referring to the moment Ethan arrived during the abduction.“You shouldn't dwell on that too much, Ivy…” A soft voice and the warmth of a hand on my arm pulled me from my daze. “It’s a good thing we’r

    Caleb snarled, his eyes filled with intense loathing. “You managed to deceive me the other time, I don't think it will be possible to deceive me again…”He bit his teeth, gritting hard. “All because of your stupid rift with Ivy, she filed so many heavy charges against me. I don't know how she gathered so much power that she was able to influence the decision of the Federal High Court. Now, they rejected my petition, reporting I will spend a cool three months in jail before I even think of writing another one. My lawyer informed me about this and all these happened because of you!”“If not because of your stupid cravings for revenge, I wouldn't have gotten myself in that case. I feel like a fool for allowing myself to be used by a demon like you, Cameil!” Caleb's face twisted in fury as he menacingly brought his cuffed hands closer to me, snarling as if he would strangle me.“I don't care how you feel about me anymore, Cameil. Whether you love me or you hate me, that is your business…

    {Cameil}I didn't wait till the day break before paying a visit to Caleb in prison.I believe that by now, Gerald must have completed the task. I had sent Gerald to poison Caleb. Not to kill him, but to teach him a great lesson. The medicine he had mixed in Caleb's meal will make him forget whatever he knows about me.That was the phone call I made minutes ago when I called Gerald, the head of the food department in the cell. “I want you to make Caleb forget everything he had known for the past two months. I want you to poison his food. Not to kill him but to make him forget everything he knows about me and my plans!” “Yes, Ma'am. Consider the job done as long as you will make my full payment!” This was my conversation with Gerald. Now, my visit to Caleb will just sound as though I came as a true friend. By now, he must have forgotten about my pregnancy and also the reason he had abducted Ivy. It's one problem clearer from my sight.“I want to speak with Mr Caleb Loner. Where is

    [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
