Our car suddenly came to a halt, pulling me slightly from my seat. My phone even fell off from my hand.

I had to sit properly, adjusting my posture. “What is the problem?” I shouted, glaring angrily at the driver.

“Madam, there are so many people standing before us. I don't know why they are here but it seems as though something is going on”

“What is it?” I queried instantly. “Go have a look… I don't want to be late for this occasion!”

“Okay, ma'am…” The driver stammered, pulling off his seatbelt. Just as he wanted to step down, I spoke up.

“Never mind!” I rolled my eyes from him. “I will check it out myself!”

I opened the door and walked out.

The driver was right, there were indeed a large number of people on the road. And they seemed to be concentrating on one person.

He said he would be coming to the event but he is not here yet. What could have kept him up by this time? I brought out my phone, attempting to dial Ethan's number when I remembered the text he sent me minutes ago. I ceased dialing his number, recollecting that Ethan and Lysander had both sent the same message. Word to word and paragraph to paragraph.Leaving me wondering what “surprise” they have for me. Regardless of that, I still went on to dial Ethan's number but received no response.Just then, someone touched me from behind.“Sorry to disturb you, Miss Moore but I have been asked to br

    ~IvyEthan and Lysander had their faces glued to each other, their faces expressed in astonishment. They seemed to be unaware that they were there together, kneeling together.But how possible?“What is going on here?” I was forced to make an utterance. “Is this a joke?” Ethan stood up first, taking my hand softly. “I don't know what this guy is doing here, Ivy.

But examining it clearly, it seeemd as though he would not reveal anything to me judging from his enraged eyes and clenched fists.But surprisingly, he nodded his head.“Yes, Ivy. I am the father of Cameil's child. You know the truth yourself so why are you making it difficult for you and me!”I smiled in my teeth after hearing Caleb's words. The camera captured that and it was time to move to the next stage of the inquiry.

    ~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.

    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

    ~IvyI watched Caleb as he walked out of the restaurant.Seeing him, I grinned sharply. He thought he could get some words out of my mouth but, similar to him, I came here with a motive. I wouldn't leave my precious company to meet up with Caleb just to discuss business. I came here to play my own part of the game in bringing Cameil down.When Caleb went to make that phone call, I magneted a live audio recorder in his wallet. Whatever he says, I will listen to it all.Even at this moment!I brought out an ear bud and put it on my ear. I don't know Caleb's reason for wanting a negotiation with my company but whatever he has in mind against me, I will be learning about it all in this recorder because whatever says and whatever he hears will be automatically heard by me!“Ma'am, are you leaving already?” A masculine voice gawked, pulling me from my thoughts. I smiled at him.“Yes. I will be on my way now!” I responded, packing my bags. When I was through, I walked out of the restaurant,

Initially, I had requested for a physical meeting with the CEO of WASTON Group but he directed me to her Secretary– Ivy.I really don't know why he has to keep her identity a secret. He is the only Billionaire who the world doesn't know his face and even those close to him refused to disclose any personal information about the unknown CEO of WASTON Group.It's even a good thing that he had asked me to go meet up with his secretary instead because I would even love to have a conversation with Ivy myself.Cameil wanted it. Who am I not to fulfill it?The business proposal I had petitioned to them was only to draw Ivy to my fashion event on February 14th.There, I will execute my plan by shooting her dead and making her regret making Cameil's life miserable!“We have arrived at the Restaurant, Sir.
