{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

    {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}Caleb turned his blazing look at me, giving me a false impression. I panicked. Will he do what I just told him to do? The promise I asked him to make seemed like a hard task to complete and judging by his looks, he looked like he will turn down the offer.“Come on, Caleb…” I said, trying to drag his attention. “Don tell me you won't do it. You will do it right?”“Yes!” Caleb responded immediately, glaring at me with so much impression. “I will do it. I will kill Ivy!” Hearing this utterance from Caleb, I couldn't hold up my smile. I rushed up to him with a smile on my face.“Are you sure, Caleb? Are you sure that you will do what you said? I mean, will you kill Ivy?”“I've never been more sure than this, Cameil!” He responded, his face filled with determination. “If this is what will make you happy, I will happily do it for you. The enemy of my friend is my Enemy. Since Ivy hurt you so badly, I will also make her pay for that. If you want her dead, then she will surely die!”

    I stared blankly at the papers in my hands, the words 'Divorce Petition' screaming at me like a cruel taunt. "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. "Upon signing the papers, further communication should be made to my lawyer. The alimony has been prepared and you'll get everything you've always dreamt of..." He stood confidently like he had just given me some medical prescription; No reason for this divorce, nothing at all. What seemed like hell was I couldn't even ask him why he gave me these papers. The reason is that in this marriage, I'm not allowed to say anything or ask any questions. All decisions are made by Lysander and I only obey them. "I'll be on my way...." Lysander said, attempting to walk away when I raised my glance from the ground and uttered immediately "Why did you do this, Lys

    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 f

    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?

    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.

    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.

    “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

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

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?
