~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’m always beautiful. You seem to forget that too often.”Wrapping his arms around my waist from be
~IvyWhen Ethan’s gaze locked with mine, his words struck a chord deep within me. 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. I didn’t try to talk him out of it—you know how he is. Once he sets his mind on something, he goes through with it. So I let him be the driver—our driver. Besides, he’s pretty good at it.As we headed towards Miss Sherry’s Estate, Ethan brought up a conversation.“What wil

The woman I had questioned turned away without another word, leaving me in a state of stunned silence. At that moment, Ethan glanced at me, his face mirroring my confusion.“What did that woman just say? That Miss Sherry is dead?” he asked, his voice laced with disbelief.I gave a simple nod.Resting his hand on his waist, Ethan shook his head slowly. “If she’s dead, then who asked Grandfather for those images?” he muttered, eyes narrowing in bafflement. “She supposedly died two weeks ago, and Grandfather only met with that woman today. That doesn’t add up. If Miss Sherry’s dead, then who exactly sent that woman to him?”“Exactly, Ethan!” I turned toward him, eyes blazing with suspicion. “Nobody in this family would ever request my photograph. They loathe me. If anyone's searching for those pictures, I’d bet it’s one of my enemies.”“You’re saying someone’s watching you?” Ethan caught on immediately.I nodded again. “Yes. I feel like someone’s tracking my every move. And whoever that
~Ivy With my left hand on my cheek, I stared up to see the person who had slapped me. I wasn't surprised when I saw Claudia– Miss Sherry's only daughter. She hasn't changed at all, her tall height, slim posture and cat eyes, all plugged on my body with anger. They were filled with contempt which I could tell is capable of swallowing a whole nation.As we looked at each other with enraged sight, the attention of other guests at the wake was already drawn. They fixed their concentration on us, their eyes flashing in anticipation.Claudia didn't care.She pointed her fingers at me.“You of all the people should be the last person to show her face at my Mom's Wake!” Her voice rose in anger. “You are the sole cause of her death. You are the reason why she died, so what's the essence of showing your disgusting face here?” She wasn't getting any calm.I quickly dropped my hands from my face, forcing myself not to get annoyed by her action but that Ivy who used to be soft hearted is gone. L
IvyWhen we got to the car, I pulled off my glasses, trying to cool myself. I thought I would end whatever rift I had with Late Miss Sherry, especially now that she is gone but her annoying daughter wouldn't stop interfering in things that don't even concern her!That's why she ended up creating such a huge scene out there.As I arranged my hair which was already rough, the car door opened and Ethan took his seat.I waited for a while, hoping that the engine would start off but for minutes the car hasn't even started talk of moving.I stopped dressing my hair on the mirror and turned to Ethan.“Why aren't you driving already, Ethan?” I questioned, rolling my eyes in discomfort. “Is it until that crazy woman sees us here and creates Part Two of her Drama that you would finally get moving?”I thought my words would make a change but Ethan was quiet. His gaze was cold and seethed in anger. Noticing his anger, I reached for his face, caressing it softly. “What's the problem, Ethan?” I as
~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? Just get your stupid self out of our lives already!”“Like I said, Ethan. I won't allow Ivy to go with you. She said she needs her priva
~IvyLysander started the car and drove off. Though it was hard, I couldn't stop myself from looking at the side mirror of the car to see Ethan on his knees shedding tears. Tears almost dropped from my eyes. No, tears dropped from my eyes.As I watched Ethan crying on his knees calling out my name, I couldn't hold my tears from falling off.I can't imagine that I chose to go with Lysander instead of Ethan.Ethan is the person I love, not Lysander. Even sitting with him inside the same car irritates my body. His face annoys and everything about him just makes my body boil.I guess this is all part of my plan to get Claudia out of my way and this plan of mine will also make Ethan get over Claudia. And at the same time, I will break Lysander's heart.I blinked countless times, trying to prevent the tears from falling off my eyes.Lysander had broken my heart before by cheating on me with Cameil. I think it's high time I also break his Heart!I will make him believe that I love him. I wil
~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
{Cameil}It's been a long day. The investigator I had employed to find out Ivy's relationship with the anonymous CEO of WASTON Group, called to inform me that he will be coming over to our house. 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
~IvyAt that moment, my heart broke into different pieces. I couldn't do anything at that time. Only standing, stare as tears fell from my eyes.As these tears fell from my eyes, the memories swayed on my head. When Ethan picked me up from the mansion on my Naked body. How he supported me. How he believed in me and was always there for me. I couldn't even control the tears streaming down my cheek!Was Ethan being serious right now? Is this the way that this relationship will come to an end?I wouldn't let this happen. At least, not now that I decided to give LOVE another shut.. The only idea that came into my mind was to hold Ethan, hug him and tell him that I was only pretending to be close to Lysander. I wanted to tell him that I still love him and will never Love Lysander but it was difficult to handle.Instead of doing as I ought to, I grabbed Ethan's hand softly. “You are not serious, are you?” I tried to make everything make sense. But Lysander pushed my hands off“I've never b

~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
