I looked at the ring and sighed. I just broke up with my girlfriend of 8 years last month because she cheated on me with one of my friends from highschool. Apparently they both already have an affair for 3 years and I never even once got suspicious that she cheated on me.
I was going to propose to her on her birthday which is in 2 weeks but she told me everything and ended the relationship. I thought she was the one, I thought she's going to be my wife and the mother of my kids.
I stood up straight and threw the ring to the ocean.
My phone rang and I took it out of my pocket. I pressed the green button right away since it's my dad.
"Hello." I answered as I made my way back to my car.
"Where are you? Jack told me that you didn't come to the restaurant today." He asked in a worried tone.
"I'm going there now, why?"
"I just want to talk to you but I'm already on my way back home."
"I'll go there then, I'll see you in 20 minutes." I said as I opened my car door and got inside.
"Okay." He ended the call and I drove toward my parents house. I tried not to think about my ex anymore because I don't think it's worth it to think about her. I mean I'm still sad but I need to get over it fast.
When I arrived in front of my parents house, their butlers greeted me and I gave them a polite nod before entering the house. I saw my dad sitting on the living room reading something on his iPad.
"Hello son, come and sit here." He said as he put his iPad away and took off his glasses.
"Is everything okay?"
"Leon.. do you want a glass of smoothie?" I heard my mom asking me from the kitchen.
"No, thanks." I answered as I sat down in front of my dad.
"What's going on?" I asked him as I leaned my body fully to the sofa.
"Are you free tomorrow?" He asked in a careful tone and that made me a little suspicious.
"Why?"
"Because I want you to join us for brunch tomorrow."
"Brunch? Where?"
"Lisa's restaurant." He said as he turned to see my mom brought 3 glasses of purple smoothies.
"Why? Cody's back?" I asked because Cody, my cousin, lives in London to study and Lisa is his older sister.
"No, I wanted to introduce you to my close friend, Pierce."
"Uhmm okay.." I said and I turned to see my mom putting a big glass of smoothie in front of me.
"Mom, you can drink it. I'll pa-"
"I know that you've been drinking a lot lately, Leon." She said as she sat down beside me. She looked at me sadly and I sighed.
"You lost a lot of weight too." She's not wrong.
"I'm fine, mom." I said and I turned to my dad again.
"What time?"
"Around 10.30 tomorrow." He said and I nodded.
"Okay." I said as I got up from the sofa. I'm planning to go back to my restaurant first to check some things and then I will go back to my condo.
"He has a daughter and I want you to.. get to know her." My whole body froze when my dad said that. I turned to him and then turned to my mom. She gave me a light nod and I looked at them both disbelief.
"I'm 26 years old and I don't need you two to arranged marriage me with someone. I just got out from a crazy relationship of 8 years and I can't just.. I can't jus-" I sighed as I sat back down on the sofa.
"Leon, you should meet her first and besides we won't force you if you and her don't get along well." My dad said and I ran my hands through my hair completely confuse.
"Here.. her name is Ivory Evans." My dad said as he gave me his iPad with her picture. Just by seeing the picture, I can tell that she's quite arrogant. Shiny blonde hair, red lips, long silk dress that shows a lot of skin and gold jewelries sitting beautifully on her neck.
She's beautiful but not exactly my type. A woman like her will be handful, you need extra care and I don't like it. It's pretty obvious that she's the opposite of my ex-girlfriend.
I like simple and independent women. I don't like when I have to worry too much towards my girlfriend because I have my own sets of problems that I need to take care of. I need someone who can stand on her own feet instead of leaning 100% to me and giving me a headache most of the time.
"I don't think I will like her." I said as I give my dad's iPad back.
"We won't force you but please join our brunch tomorrow." My mom said and I turned to her.
"Mom.. but.."
"Please.." She begged me as she held my hand.
"Fine." I said and she squealed happily. She turned to my dad and he nodded. I got up from the sofa.
"I'm going back to the restaurant."
"Very well. Please dress nicely tomorrow, Leon." She said and I nodded. I left my parents house and got into my car. I can't believe that I'm agreeing to this.
I started the car and drove out from my parent's house.

Ivory EvansI put on my white spaghetti strap body-con dress and sprayed some perfume to my neck and my wrist. I put on my earrings and put on my white pumps. I checked myself on the mirror and I'm ready to go.Apparently today my parents asked me to join them for brunch. I think they're up to something because both of them have been so weird since 2 days ago.I walked downstairs to grab my daily intake of green juice that I bet my maid already prepared for me. I walked out from my room at the same time as my dad's. He gestured to me to follow him towards his study room and I have a weird feeling all of the sudden now."Is everything okay?" I asked my dad and he gestured to me to sit down."Today, we're going to meet my fri

Leon Keith"Be nice, they're here!" My dad warned me and I automaticly got up as the guess came in. My eyes landed on the beautiful woman behind the elders. The picture that my dad showed yesterday didn't do justice, she's like a living doll."Wesley!""Pierce!" The both men hugged tightly and I'm assuming my dad and him were pretty close back in the days. I saw my mom greet Mr. Evans' wife politely."Leon, right?" I turned to see the beautiful woman already standing beside me with her hand in front of me. Her beautiful face made me speechless for a split second, I swear her picture didn't do justice."Well.. I'm assuming you're not that.. welcome to see me." She said but I caught her hand quickly.

Ivory EvansMy heart was beating fast when I saw Leon walking into the small pharmacy across the street. I knew he's going to buy a bandage or some medicine to treat my wound, I'm not dumb.I thought he's going to be douchebag earlier but he's different. Ever since I knew the definition of attraction, love and boys.. I never met someone like him. He's very polite, well-mannered and considerate.I decided to walk back to the restaurant and the parents were surprised to see me walking back alone."Ivory, did Leon say something bad to you?" Wesley asked and I turned to him shaking my head."Why did you come back alone?" My dad asked and I was speechless. I wanted to answer but my lips glued together. I saw the entrance door op

Ivory EvansI looked at Leon's restaurant before I walked in. I closed my car door and my chauffer drove away. I walked inside and was greeted by the waitress."Good evening, any reservation?" She asked and I saw his restaurant filled with people."I want to see Leon." I said and she looked confuse."Have you make an appointment?" She asked."I'm his fiancee." I said annoyed and she looked confuse. I entered the restaurant and she tried to stop me with 2 bodyguards standing in front of me."She's with me." I turned to see Leon standing behind the bodyguards. He gestured to them to go and I looked at them annoyed."What brings you here?" Leon

Ivory EvansI walked into the golf course that turned into a cooking contest venue. Leon invited me last week to come because he was one of the judges here. There's a lot of people here and I was quite impressed with the food and beverage world because it's more complex than it sounds.There's a lot of people recognizing me and even took a photo of me coming here. I kept walking to find Leon and I found him currently tasting food with 3 other judges.I stood there looking at Leon in his navy suit looking so handsome. I noticed that he's still wearing his old belt instead of wearing the new belt that I gave him. I'm assuming that it's from his ex-girlfriend.I really want to know this annoying ex-girlfriend. I want to thank her for letting this amazing go because I'

Leon KeithI picked my suit from the ground and brushed the dirt away. Ivory successfully gave me a headache. I wore my suit again and walked back to work again."Your new girlfriend?" My friend, Corwin, asked."No.""She's Ivory Evans and you're acting like one earlier." He teased."You saw that?""Everyone saw it." He chuckled and I massaged my forhead."She's giving me a headache.""You wish she's more like Celine huh?" Corwin asked as he gave me a glass of champagne."Yeah, I wish.""You need a girl like her, Leon

Leon Keith"Your mom invited me to her friend's party tomorrow since you didn't want to go." I stepped on the brake when Ivory said that."Leon!""Sorry.. I'm sorry." I said immediately and checked on her."What's wrong with you?" She asked as she turned to me confused."You agreed to go?""Yeah, I mean.. why not?" I swear I can't be affected by my mom's crazy plan. I think my mom is planning to kill me by giving me more headaches."Nothing." I said and I started to drive again. I parked my car in front of my restaurant and opened the door for Ivory. We walked inside and our parents were already waiting. They smiled looking at us both and tr

Ivory Evans"You look so beautiful!" Marie said as I hugged her."Thankyou.""Too bad that Leon doesn't want to come." Marie pouted but I know that she's up to something. I'm going to play along with it because I know this would be fun."It's okay besides I think he's a little bit unwell. He kept saying that he has a headache yesterday. I think he overworked himself." I said and Marie chuckled."Let's go inside, everyone wants to meet you!" She said as she grabbed my hand leading into her friend's mansion."Lena!" I saw a beautiful red head woman smiling and walking towards us."Hello Mrs.Tobby, happy birthday!" I said as I gave her a little

Ivory EvansI was officially moved into Leon's apartment and our parents loved the idea of it. They already knew about the engagement too and they wanted us to get married fast but we want to take it slow so maybe about next year.Lately my body started to feel weird and I found myself eating strawberry with nutella almost everyday. It's been 3 months since I stopped eating my birth control pills and we've been having so much fun being so in love with each other.After work, I went straight to the apartment with 6 different pregnancy tests. I was so nervous as I kept looking at myself in the mirror. Leon will come home in 2 hours and I'm a little bit scared.He definitely wanted kids but..

Ivory EvansIt's been two weeks since we talked about our marriage and ever since that night, Leon has been acting a little bit weird and it's making me so suspicious. He even politely asked me to stay at my house instead of spending the night at his place.Don't tell me that.. he changes his mind.Suddenly I remembered that Celine was supposed to get married around this week. Please don't tell me that Leon decided to get back with her by kidnapping her and got married with her somewhere."Aahhhhhh." I wanted to pull my hair so bad for being so furstrated."That's it! I need answers!" I hissed and I got out of my room. My dad saw me and he looked at me a little confused but I just walked past him. I ran downstairs and walke

Ivory EvansI took a warm bath as soon as I arrived at Leon's apartment. It's been a long day and I really need to relax. I got out of the bath after relaxing for more than 30 minutes.I dried myself and opened his closet to grab his loose white shirt. I wore it and walked towards the kitchen. I opened the fridge and took my ice cream tub along with toast. I love eating ice cream with toast, it's just the best combination.I sat on the kitchen table when the door opened revealing Leon with two plastics in his hands. He froze when he saw me sitting on the kitchen table with ice cream and toasts."You're hungry?" He asked, chuckling as he walked towards me. He gave me a peck on my lips and put his stuff beside me."What is it

Leon Keith"Mr. and Mrs. Evans." I walked downstairs and found them sitting on the living room. I walked to them and they sat up straight. I sat across them and looked at them both nervously. Their dog, Millie, walked over to me and I chuckled."Is everything alright?" Pierce asked."Yes, I just want to say something." I said and they're waiting for me to talk."I'm really serious with your daughter. I'm planning to.. uhmm marry her in 3 months." I bet they didn't expect me to say this."Really?" Kristina asked."Yes." I nodded."That's great!" Pierce said and I smiled."I know that you both arranged

Ivory EvansI'm currently eating my big tubs of ice cream while watching Gossip girl. I turned off my phone because I don't want to talk to Leon right now.Someone knocked on my door and I told whoever was behind that door to come in. It was one of my maids."Ms. Evans, Mr. Keith is downstairs waiting for you." My eyes widen."Tell him that I'm at the bar! Tell him that you don't see me.. that I ran away." I said as I gestured her to go. I can't believe this! I took a spoonful of my favorite chocolate ice cream and shoved it into my mouth."Is this your definition of a bar?" I turned to see Leon opening my door widely with my parents behind him."Go away!" I hissed.
M.I.N.E Chapter 17
Leon KeithI chuckled seeing Ivory being so pissed at me for talking to Celine. She was calling someone and I'm assuming she's calling her parents to cancel the arrangement. I'm so crazy for this girl, she always amazed me everyday with her attitude."You're falling in love again." I turned to Celine who just got out from the cafe."I guess I am.""She's cute.""Yeah, pretty much like handling a kid." I said honestly."You won't talk to her?""I'll let her cool down for a little bit. I bet she's busy telling her parents not wanting to marry me anymore." I laughed."Hey.. isn't that bad?" Celine asked
M.I.N.E Chapter 16
Ivory Evans"What a bastard!" I hissed as I walked down the road alone. I tried to entertain myself by looking at shops near his restaurant. I turned off my phone because it kept ringing and I'm not in the mood to talk to Leon right now."Ivory." I turned to see the ex-girlfriend again. I wish I have the power to kick this woman out from this planet."I don't know you so.. get lost." I hissed coldly as I continued to walk."I want to talk to you." She said and that stopped me."I don't think the ex-girlfriend and the fiance should talk, I have long nails." I said as I showed her my nails and she chuckled."I get it now why Leon likes you." She smiled and I raised my eyebrows.

Leon Keith"It's nice to be out." Ivory said and I turned to her smiling."But it's a little chilly." I said and she shrugged. We're currently strolling around New York city because we both missed each other. We've been so busy with work and it was to see her these days.I picked her up from her work sometimes but that's it. At last, we both have some free time to spend time together. My feelings for her grew more and more everyday and I'm not complaining. It's been a crazy ride with this little one."Did you see the article 2 days ago? They already knew that we're engaged." Ivory said as she took out her phone from her small bag."It's just a rumour though.""Yeah but how did they
