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.

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!"

"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.

{Cameil}I quickly rushed up to him, grasping his hand softly and pulling out that fake smile from my mouth!"No, Caleb! You are getting it all wrong" I uttered gently, caressing his hands. "All I was saying is that I won't pass through all this suffering and be the loser at the end. "Ivy is the only reason I did all these...." I added, raising my tone cruelly. "It was all because of her. She came into Lysander's life and ruined me out of his heart. We were made together— Lysander and I! We were made to be a couple but Ivy came in between and ruined our peaceful relationship....""So, what does that have to do with me?" Caleb interrupted my words. "All I told you was to come along with me and bear me my child. Then you can go back to your Lysander. I don't care. All I care about is my child!"Caleb's voice was full of dissatisfaction. He had moved from being suspicious to being inquisitive and Unconvinced. I knew at that moment that what I had to do was put more effort into manipula

{Cameil} Hearing Caleb's words, my heart escaped. How did he come to learn about the pregnancy? My plan was to keep this baby away from him. I wanted to raise the child as Lysander's and bury the secret of this baby until I die. I don't want to have a family with Caleb, I will never have a child with him! But he found out sooner than I expected and I can't let him stand as an obstacle in my plan. “You look shocked. Why?” Caleb asked, jolting me out of my thoughts. “Are you surprised that I learnt the truth earlier than you thought?” “Well, I know what to do as a man and I am aware when I have released inside a woman, she should be pregnant for me…” He halted instantly and our eyes met. “Don't tell me that you planned to keep this child away from me?” “This child is not your child, Caleb!” I was quick to caution Caleb, pointing my fingers at him. “I am not in the mood to speak to you. Furthermore, this is my husband's home. I am very much aware that you know the repercussion of

Just when I was enjoying this, Ethan moved away from my body, raising his hand to his head.“I am sorry, Ivy…” He uttered, his face filled with remorse. “I should have controlled myself… I am sorry. It's my mistake once again…”He added, his eyes narrowing around the room, refusing to look at me.“I'll get going now, Ivy. Have a good night….” Ethan said, attempting to walk out but I held him back, clutching his hand tightly. He turned back to me, giving me some mysterious look. I know he would be surprised to see me stop him from leaving but at this point, I'm in the fuckin’ mood and I don't give a damn.“You didn't commit any crime, Ethan!” I said to him but he still refused to look at me. “I am very much comfortable with what you have done. And do you know what?” I added, rushing up to him, my hand clenched around his abdomen. I hugged him tightly, his warmth arousing my feelings.“Let's do more of this, Ethan. I am in the mood, please, continue!” I said rubbing my hands around his

Lysander's question cracked me up but I refused to visualize my amusement. I pushed his grip off my hand, and folded my arms.“Are you asking me that question, Lysander?” I asked out, setting my expression to be astounded. “Like you knew what my response would be?”“I know you still have a place for me in your heart, Ivy. So, please, can you give us a chance…“I don't want us to start talking about this right now, Lysander!” I cut Lysander off. “And to answer your question, I will choose Ethan ten times over and over! I don't have anything to do with you again, Lysander. You have a family to look after. You have your Mom. You have Cameil and you also have your….”I halted immediately as those words were struck on my throat. I didn't know how to complete them. At last, I sniffed and forced myself to say them. “...You have Cameil and you have your unborn child. You will soon become a father very soon, Lysander. You will have a son pretty soon. So, why do you need me in your life and wh

“Lysander….” I was surprised to see him carrying me in his arms. Our eyes met as I felt his breath flowing into my nerves.That was irresistible. His eyes, looks, breath and touch. It all feels like when I used to love him. All the memories started coming back.“Are you alright?” Lysander asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. I quickly got up to my feet, squeezing my face like I didn't care.“Yes, thanks for saving me….”“Thanks for saving you?” The jealous side chick couldn't hold her words. She took some steps closer to us, snarling at us with clenched fists.“You both won't stop amusing me? Like seriously? You are in love with Ivy?” She asked, her lips curling up in snarl. “I wouldn't waste my time on you both, Lysander. All that matters is that this child is your child and he will bear your last name!” She turned angrily, taking her leave. I wasn't even surprised. But I was kind of ecstatic– the once precious Cameil who used to be Lysander's top trust is now fighting so hard to

~IvyImmediately Lysander left, I attempted to walk out but Cameil held my fist, pulling me to a stop.“I want to speak with you, Ivy!” She said even before I asked her any question.That was the first time she spoke with respect. Other days were worst but that didn't stop her from expressing her rude and cruel face. She hasn't changed evenr after receiving this type of Embarrassment.“What do you want us to discuss?” I asked, putting Cameil to a halt. We have been walking nonstop and she hasn't even said a word. Do I look like jobless to her?“I will make it quick, Ivy!” She said, keeping her voice cool and professional.“I know you are the Mastermind behind everything which happened today? From the fake receipt to the footage which was played on the projector. I know you are the the master of everything!” She spat out with that disgusting face of hers. I could have easily denied doing what she was accusing me of but I didn't see the need of lying. Especially to someone I am bigger

{Cameil} “I'm not lying, Mr Steel. The CCTV was there and you watched me examine her and the test came out to be positive. She is truly pregnant with a baby boy and that child is yours, Mr Steel!” Mrs Karen continued playing her part pretty good. Immediately after this, she bowed before Lysander. “I would love to take my leave now, Mr Steel. Forgive me for not meeting up with your expectations!” She said and attempted to walk away when Ivy dashed her some glare which I told implied her sense of suspect. She suspected that Mrs Karen wasn't telling the truth but I don't care if or if not she is aware of the truth. As long as Lysander doesn't catch me in this lie, I am not bothered in any way! immediately the Doctor left, Lysander also turned to leave but i stopped him. “Don't tell me you are leaving without a word?” He turned back at me with an unrelenting glance. “What do you want me to say to you? That I am pleased to be the father of that imbecile in your womb? Or do you wan

"I brought you here to do something for me...""This lady here claims she is pregnant with my baby. I would love to know if that is true or not"He turned to Mrs Karen immediately. "The medical room is enough for this, right?"Mrs Karen was looking kind of timid– as if she was scared to speak up. But in the end, she nodded."Yeah! I am aware of the Medical room"Lysander is so wealthy that he even has a mini hospital in his mansion. This is where he receives his treatment, rather than going to the hospital.There, the DNA will be collected."You may proceed!" Lysander added and Mrs Karen walked out.Noticing that I was still there, Lysander asked. "Won't you go with her? You said you were ready for everything. So, go on and prove it!"I winked emotionally at him. He had previously given Mrs Karen his 'comb' which had his hair.

{Cameil} Everyone stared at me in contempt. some with their face full of disgust while some, put up a face of astonishment. Well, I don't care if they're proud of me or they are not. What matters is that I want Lysander in all cases. "You don't mean it, Cameil! Just tell me that you are joking. You are joking, am I right?" Lysander asked, his lips curling up with a smile. But I didn't care. I took a step closer to him. "And you think I will be making up such silly jokes, huh?" "Of course you are joking, cos why not?" Lysander responded immediately. "I just saw it with my two eyes. The clip on the projector showed your sexual moment with that unknown man. So, how on earth do you expect me to believe that you are pregnant with my child?" Lysander added, aiming to scare me with that face of his but NO WAY! There is no freaking way I will fall for that glare of his. He used to put that for Ivy to scare her or pressure her but not me. I am more than ready to stand my ground.
