"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

    CAMEILJust as I was about to click the 'Send' option, a voice echoed from behind. "You seemed to be in a happy mood this morning, huh?" I looked back and saw Lysander. I can't stand and watch him stay in darkness so I asked him to guess why I'm happy."You know I'm not good at guessing!" He said, his face infused with curiosity."Okay then, I will tell you why I am happy!" "Well, Xander. The person you're seeing just sealed a deal with the Landings Group! I am the latest Vice President Of Landings Group!" I said, turning around with an exciting smile on my face.While I turned, I noticed that Lysander wasn't fully happy about this. This got me hooked because he ought to be happy, after all, he needs a massive connection for Steel's Group to expand."And what's keeping you from being happy?" I asked, seizing the smile on my face. "Something happened?" I added but he chuckled instantly "Nothing happened, Cam...""I'm happy for you""But you

    ~IvyLooking up, it was Cameil. Her face was squeezed, her other fist clenched so tight as she used the right one to hold my hand.“Were you about to hit her just now?” She asked but I wasted no time in getting back my gripped hand.“Like seriously, ivy. You have the guts to raise your hand on an elder who is old enough to be your mother. How disrespectful you can be, Ivy!” Cameil added, raising her tone to grab more attention from the guests.But I wasn't buying that shit. I smirked at her. “You should be asking your precious mother-in-law what she had said to me to warrant my wrath! She asked for it, and of course, I gave it to her”“You should be ashamed of yourself, Ivy” Cameil added immediately after me, wearing that pretentious face of hers as if she is the holiest person in this world.“Mother here was only correcting you for your mistake. Instead of you go acknowledge your mistake and accommodate with her, you went ahead to raise your hand on her. So, if I wasn't here, you wou

    ~IvyI was about to leave for Lysander's birthday when I saw Ethan. Seeing him, I was astounded. What is he doing here? I don't remember asking him to come over, but he also dressed so maturely as if he was going somewhere special.“What is going on, Ivy?” Ethan dragged me from my thoughts. “You seem to be surprised, is there anything wrong with my dressing code?”“Oh, about that….” I tried to stammer. “It's nothing, I wasn't expecting you to be here. So, I was kinda lost….”Ethan grabbed my fist softly. “I can't allow you to go over there alone, Ivy! I promised to always protect you and I am doing everything it takes to make that vow a reality!”His hands were so soft, I found peace in his words. As he grinned at me, I was assured of protection. Protection which Lysander failed to give me.“You already knew?” I managed to ask, while gripping his hand softly.“Of course, Ivy. I was aware of your plan to attend Lysander's birthday party. He sent out an invitation card yesterday, sadly

His lips flowed so well with mine as our tongues connected to each other.“Caleb…” I tried to stop him but he was too aroused. Gosh, his tongue resisted my tongue from even calling out his name.His hand went to my ass and he gripped it so fast. How come he was so prepared for this sex.

She never expected Lysander to stop her from raising her hands on me and even if Lysander hadn't stopped her, does she think I'd let her slap me?Playful kid!“Why did you stop me, Lysander? Are you seriously going to let this woman play the role of a third wheel in our relationship?” Cameil yelled at Lysander after taking her hand off his grip.“ The last time I checked, Cameil, our relationship was not in a good posture! I asked you to give me some space to think about my life, I don't understand which Third wheel you are talking about here!” Lysander responded, his eyes focused on Cameil.Reverting the glare, Cameil sparked up in more emotions.“So, tell me, are you both back on a good track?

The Lysander I know hates me to the extent that the last thing he would ever think of is having physical contact with me.But here he is, asking me to give him a chance, even as friends?“Friends?” I scoffed sharply. “You are asking us to be friends, Lysander? Did I waste five minutes of my precious little time to hear you ask for a second chance?”“Believe me, Ivy” He added, booming out his soft and seductive voice. “I mean it when I ask for a second chance. I know that you have moved on with your life now, But if it's not too much, can you grant me this wish…”I pulled my hands off him instantly. “I'm sorry to disappoint you, Lysander but I don't think it's possible for me to grant you this request of yours and even if I haven't moved on with my life, I can't stand to become close to a man who was so Heartless to kill his own flesh and blood!” My voice ech
