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! 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..." 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

Just as expected, Cameil denied taking the pendant from Lysander, claiming she knew nothing about it. In her words, she pointed fingers at me "If there is anyone to suspect in this scenario, it should be Ivy, not me!"I can't believe that Cameil still dares to point fingers at me when she's at fault. Well, I'll make the task easier for myself.I told Lysander that I had enough evidence to prove that Cameil actually stole the pendant. As if not bothered by my proclamation, Cameil went ahead and asked me to provide the necessary evidence I had against her as she was more than ready to defend herself from them.Not quite long had she asked me to do this I dialled the number of Mr Vale, the manager at The Moores Accessory Mall. He'll tell the truth if the pendant was sold to him."What are you doing? I mean who are you calling?" Cameil inquired in fright. "Just like they say, a guilty conscience fears no accusation. Since you believe that I am the liar here, why don't you wait for my evi

~IvyLooking up, it was Cameil. Her face was squeezed, her other fist clenched so tight as she used the right one to hold my hand.“Were you about to hit her just now?” She asked but I wasted no time in getting back my gripped hand.“Like seriously, ivy. 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.

~IvyI was about to leave for Lysander's birthday when I saw Ethan. Seeing him, I was astounded. What is he doing here? 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. He sent out an invitation card yesterday, sadly

~IvyCameil's eyes sparked in rage. She never expected Lysander to stop her from raising her hands on me and even if Lysander hadn't stopped her, does she think I'd let her slap me?Playful kid!“Why did you stop me, Lysander? Are you seriously going to let this woman play the role of a third wheel in our relationship?” Cameil yelled at Lysander after taking her hand off his grip.“ The last time I checked, Cameil, our relationship was not in a good posture! I asked you to give me some space to think about my life, I don't understand which Third wheel you are talking about here!” Lysander responded, his eyes focused on Cameil.Reverting the glare, Cameil sparked up in more emotions.“So, tell me, are you both back on a good track? Are you both back together as a couple even when she had divorced you and made you lose a heavy amount of money? Even when she had…”“Will you stop ranting already, Cameil?” Lysander cut Cameil off.

The Lysander I know hates me to the extent that the last thing he would ever think of is having physical contact with me.But here he is, asking me to give him a chance, even as friends?“Friends?” I scoffed sharply. “You are asking us to be friends, Lysander? Did I waste five minutes of my precious little time to hear you ask for a second chance?”“Believe me, Ivy” He added, booming out his soft and seductive voice. “I mean it when I ask for a second chance. I know that you have moved on with your life now, But if it's not too much, can you grant me this wish…”I pulled my hands off him instantly. “I'm sorry to disappoint you, Lysander but I don't think it's possible for me to grant you this request of yours and even if I haven't moved on with my life, I can't stand to become close to a man who was so Heartless to kill his own flesh and blood!” My voice ech
