~Ethan

I didn't waste a second. Jumping into my car, I slammed the door shut. The driver offered to come along, but I waved him off—I wasn’t going to let him tag along this time.

If Lysander wanted a discussion, then it should be face-to-face. That’s the only way this goes down.

Just minutes ago, Ivy was still in my arms when a text popped up on my phone.

> “Sky Bar. Lounge 3. I want to have a discussion. Come alone… Lysander!”

That was the message.

Finally. The moment I’d been waiting for had arrived—the moment to stand toe-to-toe with that despicable man, Lysander. The only twist? He was the one who reached out first.

SQUASH!

My car skidded to a halt.

Looking up, there it was: Sky Bar, one of the finest spots in all of Bluesky City.

A towering structure, reaching nearly forty stories high.

I made my way straight to the reception.

But the moment I stepped in, two men grabbed me by the arms.

“The Boss has called for you!” one of them said firmly.

The receptionists didn’t even blink. T

    ~EthanI burst into laughter right away—sharp, loud bursts echoing one by one. The absurdity of it all hit me like a wave. Of all the possible things this lunatic could’ve said, he actually summoned me here just to tell me to leave Ivy?That was his grand request?“What’s so funny?” Lysander asked, his eyes narrowing.“I can’t believe how foolish you are, Lysander,” I said, the laughter dying off. “Of all the offers in this world, this is what you came up with? That’s the least I expected from you.”“And why wouldn’t it take you by surprise?” he shot back, his voice lined with disbelief. “Were you expecting something else from me? Maybe asking to rape her or something?”“Watch your mouth, Lysander!” I snapped, trying to keep my patience intact. “We’re talking about Ivy—not just some random girl!”“Which is exactly why I’m asking you to leave her,” he retorted, folding his arms. “She’s not meant for you… You don’t deserve to be with her, Ethan.”My eyes narrowed into slits as I fixed h

    {Cameil} Last night's visit to Caleb didn't end well for me as he brought up the dead conversation which occurred Five years ago. Throughout today, I have been on bed– thinking about my life. Thinking how I would stop my secret from leaking. I have to come up with a way to stop Caleb from spreading that information. If he does, then I am a dead meat. I yawned. It was a night full of thoughts. The time says 3PM. God. I slept for almost a day.. I won't blame myself. I just blame that stress last night– it made me think so much last night. I reached out for the remote and switched the television on. One rule of the game is to always be INFORMATION FRIENDLY. Even though I have Caleb as an upcoming rival, I mustn't forget my first germinated rival– Ivy Moore! “The whole Media is left in awe once more as the the rumored Assistant to the anonymous CEO of WASTON Group, Miss Ivy Moore, gets into a heated love triangle with the City's top boys!” The reporter stated from the TV screm.

    {Cameil} Ivy always manages to beat me in my own game several times and no matter what I do, I never end up the winner. Now, this makes me ask the question– “What is it that Ivy has that I don't have?” “How does she end up knowing all my plans? “ How does she always manage to spoil them?” Starting from the bidding ceremony. Ivy bidded one billion dollars and bought the Steel's family pendant which belonged to Old Mrs Sylvie. That wasn't the end! She had a CCTV camera hung during the Couple's Challenge and even won the challenge. That wasn't all. She got hold of the plan I had with Mr Jones about ruining WASTON Group image and was even aware that I had sex with Caleb. She got that taped at the same time. All these can't be a coincidence! No way can they be coincidence! I think they are all connected. Ivy cannot achieve all these with her ordinary power and even though she is getting help from Ethan, Ethan doesn't have access to everything in her life, especially WASTON Grou

    {Cameil} I decided to pay my mother a visit. It had been a while since I last saw her, and in the email she sent, she mentioned she'd been trying to reach me with no success. So, I thought it was finally time to go see her. “Madam, Miss Cameil is here!” I heard the maid announce. Almost immediately, Mom rushed out of the kitchen and threw her arms around me, holding me tightly. “It’s been such a long time, my beautiful daughter! How have you been?” she exclaimed, her arms still wrapped around me. I could feel just how much she’d missed me—especially since she hadn’t been able to reach me for a while. Once we were settled, she handed me a cup of coffee. “What’s going on with you lately, Cameil?” she asked while sipping hers. “I’ve been trying to get in touch with you for days. I called over and over again, but none of the calls went through. That’s why I ended up sending that email to the Steel's account.” I accidentally dropped my cup back onto the saucer. “You’re right, Mot

    ~IVY “Prepare the documents, Rach. I will be heading home soon…” I said to Rach over the phone as I went through some of the files. As I was about to hang up, Rach spoke up hastily. “Your grandfather is here, Ivy. He said he wants to speak with you urgently. So, he is on his way to your office!” “Okay. Thank you!” I hung up, rolling my eyes in curiosity. Grandfather hardly visits me in this company. In fact ,he hardly comes here. So, I guess he came for something crucial indeed! “Ivy my dear!” The door went open. It was Grandfather. I quickly shut the door before hugging Grandpa. “I thought you said you would be out of town for some days and that your trip will be starting today. Won't you be late for the schedule?” “I was on my way to the airport when I dropped to see you. It was something serious, so I thought of telling you myself!” He said, making me all curious on why he has to say such a thing. I dropped the files I held. “Something crucial, like what?” “It's not tha

    ~IvyGrandpa had left the country for the States shortly after informing me about the woman who came asking for my childhood pictures.As the one at the center of this strange puzzle, I had every reason to be concerned—especially when the truth behind it all was still a mystery.With a soft sigh, I snapped my laptop shut and reached for my palm-sized makeup kit. I gently rubbed my lips, then powdered my face with practiced ease.While I was still dabbing at my cheeks, the door creaked open.I tilted the mirror slightly and caught a familiar reflection. Ethan.He was standing right behind me, a teasing smile spreading across his lips.“And where exactly is my beautiful Ivy heading off to that she needs to add extra layers of charm?” he asked, strolling toward me.I let out a faint chuckle. “Ethan, not now.

I hated to admit it, but he was right—I needed to give him time to live up to his promise.He vowed to protect me and stay by my side till the end. But how could he do that if I didn’t allow him the chance?I blinked twice at him and a soft smile crept onto my lips. “Fine!” I exclaimed. “You can come along, Ethan. Honestly, there's no better way to protect me than this.”He grinned and gently clasped my hands. “Thank you, Ivy,” he said gratefully. “We should get going now. I don’t think you want us to be late, do you?”A quiet laugh escaped my lips. Ethan could be unbelievable sometimes.*****Inside the car, Ethan insisted on driving.

    ~IvyMy eyes were stuck on Rach's. You needed to see how enraged and determined she was. And the way she pressed my hands as she made her utterance; was enough to convince me that she was right.If I want to get EVEN with Cameil, I should do her the exact thing she did to me. If she is evil, then I can be Evil just like her. I told Rach.She pulled out a grin from her lips, showing how happy she was to hear me say this. Holding my fists softly, she grinned. “You made the right choice, Ivy. You should kill that woman's child and make her suffer for killing your own child as well. That's the only thing which you can do to her and she would remain upset for the rest of her miserable life!” Rach's tone was impulsive. I nodded.Although Rach is right, I still can't imagine myself killing an innocent child. I had only made Rach believe that I would do as she said. Meanwhile, I have my plan covered Myself.I won't kill Cameil's child, instead, I will make her pass through the same pain whic

    ~IvyIt's almost a day since Ethan and I broke up. He hasn't called me, he hasn't come to the office either. I sat in my office, holding my phone which was clearly in the PHONE CALL category. It only requires me to click on CALL and I would be dialing Ethan's number. But my finger hung mid-air.Not because I am so proud not to call him and apologize but because I want to play my path as his soon-to-be wife.Since I created a mess between Ethan and I, I should correct that mess before going to ask Ethan to give us a chance.That was why I had ordered that special envelope from the INSTITUTION.Rach dropped the envelope before me, her face gloomy like mine.“Are you sure you want to do this, Ivy?” She asked, sliding the envelope to me. “You said it was a part of your plan to ruin Lysander. So, why are you suddenly ending it all?”I took my eyes at the envelope before me. It was authentic as the Stamp on it sognified Such. Well, it was what it supposed to.The envelope on my table is a

    {Cameil}“Is there anything specific you would love us to add into our investigation?” Dave's words jolted me out of my thoughts. I immediately replaced my interrogating expression with a convincing smile. “You mean me?” I tried to get the question right. Dave nodded. “Yes, Ma'am. I would love it you would want me to find out anything personally about Claudia or to dig into her past. Is there anything at all you would love to know about her? Or about another person? If No, then we may proceed to the next level of our searches…’“No, Dave!” My voice ignited immediately, giving Dave a sharp look. “I would love you to find out anything at all about Claudia's past” I continued. “She is the only person who can tell if Ivy is related to the unknown CEO of WASTON Group. To get some information from her, you should also be willing to threaten her with something. Otherwise, she won't speak up!”“If that's the area you are going to, then you need not to worry because we already have the RAW f

It's been two days since I sent him on this mission. So, whatever he is bringing to the table, must be authentic and credential.I was having my breakfast when one of the servants walked in.“Sorry to disturb your peace, Miss Cameil. Someone wants to speak with you!” I didn't even look at her. She has this energy which reminds of my worst enemy–Ivy.Just when she wanted to walk out, I called her back.“Hey, You!”“Yes, Ma'am!” She bowed.I stood up from my seat and threw the dishes at her.“You are fired!” My tone was as cruel as it was supposed to be.The stupid servant went on her knees, pleading with me not to fire her.I chuckled. “You remind me so much of my enemy, Ivy. You speak like her, walk like her and even have the same vengeful face like her. Since I came to visit mother, seeing

    ~Ivy “Don't resist me, Ivy. I need this to stay healthy!” He whispered and his lips went back to mine. I tried to pinch myself out of this. I tried to force myself to push him from kissing me. I tried to hit him, or at least slap him and threaten him but I didn't have the mind to do so. That is because I was lost in the passion of the kiss and I could almost feel my heart beating fast and yearning for Lysander, craving for him and giving him the second chance he asked for! But his kiss went way more than all these. His lips went to mine and his tongue danced inside me, exchanging those delicious Saliva and making me go horny all of a sudden! “Push him, Ivy!” My mind whispered. I sat firm, refusing to hold him, refusing to touch him back and refusing to give back the kiss. I was completely astounded and never saw it coming. But that wasn't the WORST thing I didn't see coming. Standing before me was Him! Standing before me was ETHAN! I widened my eyes, He stood roo

    ~IvyI stood there between two men who were desperate to have me. Ethan held my left hand tightly, and Lysander held my right hand with the same energy. I could see the determination in their eyes and it was almost as if they would kill each other right there Lysander's trembling eyes, gritting teeth and seethed face. Ethan's energized rage, clenched fists and villainous eyes– it all told their unwillingness to leave me.After the scene suffered from silence for almost five minutes, Ethan spoke up.“Ivy is leaving with me. And don't try to stop us!” He turned, still holding me. He attempted to walk out but Lysander held me tighter. My movement was stopped halfway and it was because of Lysander's tight hold.Ethan walked back, his face still full of anger, he said to Lysander. “Why is it so difficult for you to stop meddling in my affairs with Ivy?
