Two days already passed and I've been living my life like a QUEEN that I am. Grandpa previously promised to support me throughout this mission of mine. He assured me that whatever I did, he's gonna help me out in that.

I'm not backing down. I'm strong, and I've sent spies to keep a close eye on Lysander and Cameil. The only way to defeat your enemies is by keeping a close watch on them. I've done this, keeping a very close watch on Cameil and Lysander. This was how I learnt that Cameil is out of the hospital and already engaged to Lysander.

My informant, Mr Grey, revealed to me that Cameil now lives with Alexander in his mansion. 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!" I responded, fully done with my bod

    "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

    IVYLast night was worth the stress as I enjoyed the frustration on Lysander's face. One thing he hated is being ripped off of what belongs to him and I did that to him last night.While in my room, I raised the pendant and portrayed it in the mirror before me. As I gazed at it, I sniffed intensely remembering the beautiful relationship I used to share with Old Mrs Sylvie before her death. I know she may be sad that I took what she handed over to her son but I'm confident she'd understand why I did that.The moment I dropped the pendant, I saw a newsletter in the drawer beneath me. It has the heading 'The 2024 Couple Of The Year Edition' Picking the newsletter, I was lost in the thoughts of how much I wished I could attend this event someday as it was always full of so much fun. I was lost in these thoughts when a voice jolted me from behind "Do you wanna go to the event?" I turned back and saw Ethan. He previously went out to settle some issues in the office, I guess he's back alre

    "Will the six selected couples please step onto the stage?" The hosts, a man and a woman, said, smiling gently as the couples started making their way to the stage. As I stood there, Ethan stretched out his left hand, his fingers extended in a gentle invitation as if seeking to intertwine them with mine. I placed my hand in his, and together we walked out.The stage had separate tables for each couple placed in threes opposite each other. We got so unlucky to have Lysander and Cameil standing opposite us!"The first game is called 'Do you know me!'" One of the hosts said and the other added "The couples are advised to face each other with the female's eyes blindfolded. Something will be done to you and you predict it or if not your partner did that to you. I hope it's clear to you all?""And with that, let the game begin!" The female host announced and some men walked to us with. a tray. Cameil gave me a threatening sight, an expression of victory furrowed on her face.I'm not fami

    "... Lysander!" I controlled how I yelped. I was positive, Ethan didn't kiss me. I knew the enigmatic approach of Lysander, so it was easy to feel those gentle kisses of him once more.As Lysander stared at me, I tried my possible best to avoid eye contact with him. And the host made it easier for us by proceeding us to the next level of the game which left Cameil and I at the finale. I'd do everything possible to win this level and emerge as the winner, then I could watch Cameil get on her knees and beg me.The next section came with a dancing competition. The host announced, adding that the couple with the corresponding body movement wins the challenge and couples with an act of cheating will be automatically disqualified.Immediately after the host's declaration, Ethan grabbed me by my waist and pulled me closer to him. As his eyes locked into mine as my feet stood on his shoes, I could see Lysander's eyes attached to us even though he was holding Cameil.This is

    "Really?" Cameil said, coming closer to me as if she wasn't bothered at all. "I can't believe that you still kept the hope that if I lose this game, I'll be kneeling for you. How pathetic you could be!" She added, giving me a sarcastic smile. I couldn't even control the anger strolling through my veins, I knew that this bitch would never keep to her word. "What now?" Her voice jolted me from my anger "Are you gonna beat me or make me kneel before you without my consent... Jokes on you, Ivy!" "You're right, I won't force you to kneel for me but I can do this..." I halted and immediately landed a FILTHY slap on her face. "This is what you get for going against our agreement! Agreement is always an agreement, Cameil!" "How dare you raise your hands on my fiance?" Lysander cut in immediately while Cameil clutched her face angrily. I'm not surprised, after all, he has promised the entire world for her, defending her in this case

I barely had time to breathe before the door creaked open again.I turned, and there he was—Ethan.He strode toward me, his gaze fixed on my hunched figure, my hand pressed against my forehead, my expression contorted with fury.“I hope you're not too upset about what just happened,” he said gently, closing the space between us. “You said something quite bold out there… revealing your infertility in front of everyone—that must’ve cost you something.”A strained smile tugged at the corner of my lips. “You don’t have to worry about me, Ethan,” I murmured, my voice steadier than I felt.I reached out and took his hand in mine, holding it with quiet sympathy. “If anyone should be hurting right now, it’s you… not me.”His brows furrowed as he peered into my eyes. “But why would I be upset?” he asked, puzzled. “I’m not angry at all.”“You’re the one my heart beats for,” I whispered, my vo

    ~IvyI stood there, completely bewildered. My lips parted, but no words came out. To make things worse, a camera was pointed directly at us—some people had already gone live.Realizing that Lysander had tattooed my name on his chest sent waves of emotion crashing through me. I could feel the love and attraction.My gaze was glued to the ink etched across his abdomen. It wasn’t just beautiful; it symbolized something deeper—love.As I soaked in the moment, my eyes instinctively shifted behind me, landing on Ethan.His fists were clenched, jaw tight, body trembling as if he was one second away from doing something terrible.I knew right away that I had to regain control of the situation. Things could turn ugly for both Lysander and me.Lifting my eyes, I blinked hard, trying not to get emotional.“You don’t have to do this, Lysander,” I said sharply, avoiding looking him in the eyes. “My advGet up and leave. Don’t embarrass yourself any further.”I took a step back. “I have to go…”As I

    ~IvyI sat alone in my office, the flickering lights above barely pulling me out of the storm of memories crashing in my mind. Everything from last night played on repeat—Lysander's possessiveness, that shocking double proposal. It all made my stomach churn.Why now? I wondered bitterly. Why is everything spiraling just when I'm about to complete my mission—to bring Lysander and Cameil to their knees?I felt myself drifting, my thoughts detaching from reality, until a familiar voice from the TV jolted me back."The entire world is left in awe after the breathtaking moment shared by the CEO of Morale Groups and the alleged assistant to the hidden CEO of WASTON Group. Their romantic embrace last night has set the media ablaze..."The reporter's words pierced through me. Of course—they were referring to the moment Ethan arrived during the abduction.“You shouldn't dwell on that too much, Ivy…” A soft voice and the warmth of a hand on my arm pulled me from my daze. “It’s a good thing we’r

    Caleb snarled, his eyes filled with intense loathing. “You managed to deceive me the other time, I don't think it will be possible to deceive me again…”He bit his teeth, gritting hard. “All because of your stupid rift with Ivy, she filed so many heavy charges against me. I don't know how she gathered so much power that she was able to influence the decision of the Federal High Court. Now, they rejected my petition, reporting I will spend a cool three months in jail before I even think of writing another one. My lawyer informed me about this and all these happened because of you!”“If not because of your stupid cravings for revenge, I wouldn't have gotten myself in that case. I feel like a fool for allowing myself to be used by a demon like you, Cameil!” Caleb's face twisted in fury as he menacingly brought his cuffed hands closer to me, snarling as if he would strangle me.“I don't care how you feel about me anymore, Cameil. Whether you love me or you hate me, that is your business…

    {Cameil}I didn't wait till the day break before paying a visit to Caleb in prison.I believe that by now, Gerald must have completed the task. I had sent Gerald to poison Caleb. Not to kill him, but to teach him a great lesson. The medicine he had mixed in Caleb's meal will make him forget whatever he knows about me.That was the phone call I made minutes ago when I called Gerald, the head of the food department in the cell. “I want you to make Caleb forget everything he had known for the past two months. I want you to poison his food. Not to kill him but to make him forget everything he knows about me and my plans!” “Yes, Ma'am. Consider the job done as long as you will make my full payment!” This was my conversation with Gerald. Now, my visit to Caleb will just sound as though I came as a true friend. By now, he must have forgotten about my pregnancy and also the reason he had abducted Ivy. It's one problem clearer from my sight.“I want to speak with Mr Caleb Loner. Where is

    [LYSANDER]I drove hastily on the busy road, the scene of Ivy and Ethan hugging reflecting on my head. I couldn't hold myself from remembering how Ethan confessed his feelings to Ivy and she also accepted– telling him that she also loves him.“Hughhhhhh!” I groaned, hitting my steering in anger. I don't care if this is called JEALOUSY or not. All that I know is that I have fallen head over heels for Ivy. If anyone had told me that I would eventually love Ivy at the end, I wouldn't have believed.At first, I thought I was using her to get on the good side of the unknown CEO of WASTON Group but later on, I realised that I love her so much.I even planned to propose to her. I thought I could make her mine again, but Ethan was also there kneeling with a ring in his hands. I didn't have any idea that he also planned to propose to Ivy. Had I known, I would have gone first and asked Ivy to be my wife.But No! I played the COWARD card. I pressed on the BRAKE and my car squashed to a halt

    ~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. This doesn't have to remain anonymous, right?”I nodded, reversing the smile. “Of course!”Mr Tiago understands the assignment too well, he knows what to do and how to do it.But the Press who are present here were the sa
