IVY

The 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't like it when I tell you who I am..." I threatened but the person pulled a trigger and pointed it right on my face. I yelped in fright. This was no longer a child's play! This is SERIOUS.

"Will you keep quiet or you die?" A muscular voice echoed. That voice was not ordinary, I knew him.

"Lysander?" I called out and the lights went on. That was Lysander pointing a gun straight to my face. I don't know why he was doing that but his face was so doomed like something terrible happened.

"What's the meaning of all these, Xander? Why did you tie me to this wall? And where are we?" I inquired, my voice trembling in fear.

He squatted and looked straight to my face, his eyes darting around my body with rage, he inquired "I will ask you for the last time, Ivy. Why did you stab Cameil?"

I swallowed some spits as I shook in so much fear. I can tell that Lysander was ready to kill me if he was asked to and he just asked me a question that he won't believe my answer.

"Answer me, Ivy! Why did you stab Cameil in her belly knowing very well that she's pregnant?" Lysander's voice added but this time, it came with a lot of echoing.

"I didn't stab, Cameil! She did that to herself..." I responded but Lysander stood up with a yell "Liar! You are lying to my face even after seeing you stab her with my two eyes! I saw you stabbing Cameil. I saw the knife in your hands, you did that to her..."

"You saw the knife with me because she threw it on my body!" I cut him off, my voice still trembling as usual.

"And now, she lost her baby! She lost my only child you goddamn FOOL!" Lysander yelled with an uproarious voice and I shook my head vigorously. "NO, Xander! Camel wasn't even pregnant! She has been lying to you all these while and even did this to herself just to see it as a cover to defend herself from being actually pregnant... Believe me, Xander, she's a big-time liar!"

I was still shaking in fear while I uttered all these- hoping for him to believe me but he only looked at me with so much disgust. I've never seen that amount of disdain in his eyes before.

I can testify that Lysander doesn't love me but at the same time, he hasn't looked at me like this before even when he was mad. With the way he stared at me, he saw me as a murderer and one thing about him is that he hates Murderers because his dad was also MURDERED.

Lysander stepped back a bit and clicked the trigger "An eye for an eye and a life for a life! You killed my unborn child, I will have to take yours...."

He was about to release the bullets When someone opened the door. It was a doctor, Mr Yaren. He is the chief Doctor of Lysander's hospital, meaning we are in a hospital.

"Mr. Steel, the patient has lost a lot of blood and needs immediate transfusion. Studies have it that her blood group was out of blood bank and we need immediate blood transfusion ASAP..."

Mr Yaren halted and looked at me before continuing "Miss Cameil shares the same blood group with Mrs Steel. With your permission, can we have a blood transfusion?"

"No need for my permission! Take her with you and secret as many pints of blood as you want, I don't care. Just make sure that my wife is alive!" Lysander responded and I shook my head in fear.

If I'm not mistaken, Mrs Karen told me to stay away from any SURGICAL activities or TRANSFUSION as it may hinder the life of my unborn child.

If this procedure goes on, I will lose my baby!

    "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!

    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..." 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.

"Yes, they are Divorce papers. If you look below, you'll see my signature boldly, I want to see your signature as well within 24 hours!" Lysander added, his voice as cold as usual, and his hands stocked to his pocket. I understand that he doesn't love me but we've lived for a while for this marriage to just come to an end.

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?"
