"A strong, brave, beautiful spy who values the good of all, sacrificing friendship for her country."

"Why do you call her beautiful? Was that aspect about the protagonist or the actress playing the role?" The reporter raised her eyebrow as her lips curled. The other reporters by her side couldn't hide their laughter.

"Well... um, both." His face flushed, sneaking glances at Ivy.

Ivy just rolled her eyes, 'what a flirt.'

The reporters didn't think much about what he said as they settled it for humor. He was just simply telling the facts; Ivy was indeed a beautiful actress.

Isabelle's blood was boiling, and she felt like glaring at the so-called beautiful woman George complimented. Since the media were present, she had to behave, or her sulky face will be plastered on a poster and sent to the netizens.

"What do you think about the antagonist?" The questions were still coming out. George, with a frown, peered at Isabelle, inclining his head as he studied her face. "Hm." He rub

    Watching George leave without sparing her a proper conversation, she tightened the grip on her dress while her mind trailed to the individual that stole the heart of her crush. She had been crushing on George Brandon for ages, and he was the reason she strived to partake in the film when she found out he was one of the supporting characters. She planned on winning him over, but it seems he only had eyes for Ivy."Are you just going to stand here and watch his back, Isa? Just let it go." Her personal assistant gave her a nudge, and Isabelle shrugged it off and walked to her car. Her personal assistant was aware of her infatuation towards George and how she had been trying to pursue him ever since the start of her career, with no avail. Finally, she would be acting in the same film as George, a perfect chance to confess her feelings, but it was ruined by Ivy's presence."I hope she doesn't do anything stupid."******"The news is burning with your name on top of the titles and headlines

    "Kate..." Irene sent a stern warning with her eyes, and Kate quickly understood she needed to compose herself, or else she might be in real trouble.Ethan cleared his throat and sat on the bed beside Irene, pouring himself a glass while Kate was still standing, looking at the two of them. They seemed close, too close for acquaintances, which made her wonder if he was a close relation."Are you both cousins?" She asked, but Irene ignored her, still sipping her drink."No, we're not," Ethan answered, not ready to delve into details."Have you found out the location and date for filming 'Tomboy Donna'?" Irene asked, and Ethan just shrugged casually. "Yep.""Send her the location and tell her what to do," Irene instructed. Hearing this, Kate frowned. "Who..." "Who do you think it is, who is the other female here?" Irene yelled with a glare, and Ethan chuckled. "She is really a dork."Irene felt Kate was acting stupid, not that she hadn't been acting stupid ever since. It was as if it wa

    "LET GO OF HER, YOU BITCH!" the loud voice yelled. Isabelle chuckled at the figure who came to save the day, giving her a profound look of disdain. "Mind your own business," she spat, looking at her from top to bottom analytically, with her hand still holding onto Susan's hair. "Are you deaf? I said you should let go. Don't make me do this the hard way," Joan threatened, fighting the urge to do what she felt like doing at the moment. She overheard their conversation when she hung up on her call, and a scream for help followed. Recognizing Susan's voice, she ran in the direction of the commotion, only to see her being bullied by a no-name actress. "Leave her," Joan pressed on with reasoning, though she had a better way to deal with the issue, she refrained. Isabelle refused to heed her, pulling Susan's hair aggressively with a face masked with a sinister smile. Her PA was helplessly watching everything; it had always been hard to tame her. "I hate people like this," Joan muttere

    Ivy, accompanied by Joan, arrived at the set only to meet director Tim's gloomy face that slowly filled with a trace of slight annoyance."What happened, Director Tim? Is everything alright?"Director Tim heaved, exhaling. She sat down on the sofa and stared at Ivy for a while before replying. "What happened yesterday?"Ivy's face sank with a frown, unable to comprehend the question. "Nothing unusual." It was the best answer she could come up with. She sat beside Director Tim, waiting for him to make himself clear."Isabelle refused to film without an apology from your manager and a young lady that attacked her yesterday. Ah, this is giving me headaches," he said, stroking his forehead. "I hate when my plans for filming are distorted."Seeing the director in his state, Ivy was even more confused. Why would she refuse to film today? According to the schedule, she had a few solo scenes before Isabelle would join her, and then George would appear at the end of the day's filming. What the

    *Keep it up, don't forget to update me. You know what I mean.*Joan smiled as she saw the text. She tucked the phone back to her bag and sat comfortably."We are here," Susan announced."Susan, park the car on the other side," Ivy instructed, pulling out a black clothing hung at the top of the passenger seat."What do you plan on doing?" Joan asked, surprised. She thought Ivy was going to barge into the hospital and face Isabelle on her cot."What does it look like I'm doing?" Ivy responded, putting on the clothing.Joan frowned. 'A black zip-up hoodie.' Ivy wore the hood covering her forehead tightly fitted to her face, zipping it until it reached the apex. Ivy refused to make the same mistake of choosing a wrong disguise. Black glasses are a hell of an awkward disguise."I'm sure the reporters are at the front of the building, so you both stay here, I'll be right back," Ivy said and got out of the car. Joan scrunched, "what's with the hoodie?"Susan veered backward, resting her arm

    A blurred figure flashed past with full speed, leaving a trail behind for the doctor to catch a glimpse."Who's there?" The doctor came out of the room peeping at either side. But didn't see anyone who could raise suspicion."Did you hear that?" Isabelle asked her PA, who was also about to ask her the same question."I did. 'Say cheese'." Her PA's face sank, weighing the possible explanation for the 'say cheese' she heard."Chloe, I keep telling you to stop roaming about the whole place," the doctor said admonishingly to the sweet, innocent-looking girl resting at the side of the wall. "You should be with Mama, not playing around."Chloe fiddled with her hand, staring at the floor before she raised her head. "I'm sorry, Doctor. I only wanted to have some fun."The doctor sighed; it was a daily occurrence for the little sweetpea to wander every time she visits the hospital to see her mother. "Go now, doctor has work to do.""Okay," Chloe hurriedly left the VIP area in a scamper, flingi

    Stephen left the hospital with Director Tim in a rush. Even though his face showed no sign of anger, he was annoyed by the sticky situation he was in. He couldn't understand why Ivy and her manager hadn't provided an explanation for what happened. Director Tim, on the other hand, was uncertain of what Ivy was trying to do by staying silent. She wasn't stepping out to clarify the claim. Initially, he thought she was going to face the media to explain the truth, but it seems that wasn't the case at all.Stephen paused and looked at Director Tim. "What do you think about her claim? Do you think Ivy would do something like that?""I don't know, but what will Ivy or her manager gain by doing this? As for Isabelle, I don't know if she could possibly fake her own assault. We shouldn't draw conclusions yet without solid evidence," Director Tim gave his opinion. Based on what Ivy's manager told him, they did hit her, but it was a form of defense.Stephen didn't say anymore word; there was only

    The text already flaunted who the sender was, so she tossed it back to her purse with a scoffing expression, her threat was too insignificant to make her fret. It seems Irene was rejoicing over her present situation, but Ivy was unaware there was more than that.As the trio left the premises, a red car that was closely parked to their car followed behind them. A few minutes later, another car squeaked following their trails.The unresolved fuss about Ivy's animosity towards Isabelle was a hot topic that refused to be replaced by new scandals that surfaced in the entertainment industry.

    Zack stared at his tablet for what felt like forever, hesitant. He was finally going to see the one who was behind his accident. But now the weight of the moment pressed down on him. He knew this call could change everything, reveal a face he might recognize, or a stranger he would despise. He wasn't sure he was ready for either.Ivy was by his side, squeezing his arm tightly and encouraging him to do it. "Come on, Finn made this possible for you, so... let’s get it over with," she said, wrapping her arms around his neck and nudging him to tap on the screen."Alright," he said finally, but as Ivy attempted to speak, a loud cry came out from the room."Lucas again," she growled and got up, placing a soft kiss on Zack's cheek. "Be right back."With that, she left, and Zack decided to get it over with as Ivy had said. He tapped on the screen, and there just what he had feared stared right back at him.Those familiar emerald eyes..."Chris. So it was really you," Zack whispered, disbelief

    THE NEXT MORNING, Ivy and Zack made their way downstairs, luggage in tow, with Lucas giggling in his stroller. Lucas was babbling excitedly, clearly sensing the adventure ahead, and Ivy couldn't help but smile at her little boy's enthusiasm. Although she was still a bit hesitant about leaving, Zack's and Lucas's enthusiasm was infectious.But she had to agree a vacation would benefit them all.Just as they were about to head out the door, Xavier, their butler, rushed in, looking flustered."Wait, please!" Xavier exclaimed. "We have a visitor."Ivy's eyes narrowed, her smile faltering. "Who is it?"Xavier hesitated before responding. "It's... your..." Before he could finish, a voice cut in."Zack has woken up all this time, and you didn't bother informing us," Henry walked in, the old man right beside him.The moment he set eyes on Zack, he went straight to him and hugged him tightly. "I'm so glad you're okay, son..."Zack, caught off guard, returned the hug, a mix of surprise and conf

    "Ivy, remember when I took Roy outside?" Zack said, and Ivy frowned. "Yes, of course." "I thought... I thought I saw Chris. Briefly. Just a glimpse." Ivy's eyes widened in disbelief. "Chris? But... he hasn't called since that day..." "Exactly," Zack said, his brow furrowed. "But what if... what if... I don't know...?" Ivy shook her head, dismissing the idea. "Zack, that's impossible. Didn't you say he was an imposter?" "I'm starting to doubt that 'imposter' theory," Zack said. "It's too convenient the way he operates in the shadows... it's shady." Ivy's eyes narrowed, having a hard time processing everything. If he wasn't an imposter, then why hadn't he reunited with Zack? Why was he hiding? "What if... he has a vendetta? Against you?" Ivy sprang from the bed, her head filled with fear gnawing at her. She knew what it felt like to be wanted dead, and now Zack, this childhood friend... if it's true, then it's even worse than she imagined. "Maybe we should tell Finn every

    "Lucas, I'm home!" Zack announced as he stepped into the familiar warmth of their living room. Ivy smiled and quickly got beside him. "Careful, Zack," she cautioned, her hand lightly touching his arm. "Remember, you're still recovering." "Now you want me to be treated like a fragile piece of glass, huh?" Zack said with his usual smirk, and Ivy couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Yeah, that's what you are right now." Zack smirked, closing the short distance between them. "Is that so?" Ivy stepped back, a blush creeping into her cheeks. "Zack, this isn't the right place to... you know, do your usual thing..." She then said with gritted teeth, "Maria and Lucas are coming." Zack turned to find Maria smiling his way. She bowed slightly and then placed Lucas on the ground. "There he is," Zack said, his voice softening as he knelt down. He extended his arms, a wide, welcoming smile on his face. "Come here, buddy. Daddy's home." Lucas hesitated, his gaze shifting between Zack and

    "Zack, tomorrow's a big day. Lucas is hitting nine months," Ivy said, her voice soft as she gently ran her hands over Zack's. "Can you believe it? Nine months already?"She tried hard to grin, but what came out was a pathetic smile. "I... started him on complementary foods, you know. He seems to really like mashed sweet potatoes with a little cinnamon. He makes the funniest face when he tastes something new, but sweet potatoes are definitely his favorite."Ivy chuckled, despite knowing that Zack couldn't hear her. The sound was more for her own benefit, a way to release some of the tension and sadness that had been building up inside.But as she looked at Zack's still face, her expression shifted. Her smile faltered, and her eyes welled up with tears.Ivy's sigh turned into a sob, and she buried her face in her hands, letting the tears flow.She had hoped Zack would wake up before their son turned seven months, but now he was nine months, still trapped in this limbo.He didn't get to

    SIX MONTHS LATERIvy's hands trembled as she held the phone, Bryan's voice sounding at the other end."Ma'am, we found him last night," Bryan said, his tone gentle but firm. "The driver who hit Zack. We've got a positive ID."Ivy's breath caught in her throat. Six months of waiting, wondering, and fighting for answers. Finally, she was going to get some justice."Who is it?" Ivy asked, her voice barely above a whisper.There was a pause before Bryan responded, "Marcus Thompson. The police are bringing him in for questioning. They're going to push him hard to see if he'll talk."Ivy's grip on the phone tightened. "Will he talk?""There's a good chance he might," Bryan said. "Thompson's got a history of criminal activity. He's been in and out of jail for various offenses. If the police can leverage that, he might be willing to cooperate."Ivy's mind was racing. "How soon can they get him to talk?" She wanted to wipe that smug look off Albert's face.Bryan hesitated before responding, "W

    Ivy's car halted in front of the Anderson mansion. It was the early hours of the morning, and Ivy decided to seize this opportunity to get answers.She slammed the door behind her, took a deep breath, and stepped into the mansion. She didn't bother to knock before entering.A sliver of light spilled out from the lounge, the air thick with the smell of stale liquor."Albert!" Ivy yelled, scanning the whole place. "Albert, where are you?"Footsteps sounded, and Henry appeared coming down the stairs, draped in a robe and his hair a bit messy."It's too early to yell," he said, but as his eyes landed on Ivy, a frown settled on his face."What are you doing here?""Where is Albert?" Ivy asked, and Henry's brow deepened."Ivy, why are you here? Shouldn't you be sitting with Zack at the hospital?""Where is Albert?" Ivy's expression turned serious, the one that tells you, "I'm losing my patience."Henry's eyes lingered on her for a moment before finally pointing to a corner."Turn left."Wit

    "I never should have let you leave." Ivy whimpered, squeezing Zack's hand, as if trying to coax life back into his fingers. "I should have forced you to eat breakfast... maybe... maybe..."She choked on tears trickling down her cheek... "maybe you would have escaped it..." she sniffled, trying to hold back her tears, but it was no use. The dam broke, and she let out a heart-wrenching sob, her body shaking uncontrollably."How long are you going to stay like this, huh? How long before you wake up..." she mumbled. "It's only been a few hours, and I can't keep seeing you like this..."He had always been the strong one, the rock that held her together when she broke down. But now he was the one who was broken, and she was left to pick up the pieces. All she could do was hope he would wake up sooner.Ivy's sobs slowly subsided as she wiped away her tears and took a deep breath.Her chest tightened, but she pushed through, squeezing his arm with all the strength she could muster."Please w

    "Shhh, baby, it's okay," Ivy murmured, pacing back and forth in the room with the crying Lucas in her arms. "Mommy's here." The nanny, Maria, sat on the couch, watching them with concern, occasionally standing up and sitting back down on the couch in frustration. Lucas's cries only intensified, his small body writhing in discomfort. He was unusually fussy, refusing his bottle and arching his back in distress. Ivy had tried everything – changing his diaper, offering him a pacifier, singing lullabies – but nothing seemed to make him calm down. Maria got up and approached Ivy. "Let me try, Mrs. Anderson," But Ivy shook her head. "No, I've got him. I just need to... figure out what's wrong." She continued to pace, trying to rock Lucas to sleep. "What's wrong, my little one?" she whispered, her heart throbbing slightly. Lucas usually didn't cry this way for this long. She glanced at the clock, wondering if she should call Zack and tell him about Lucas's behavior. But it would b
