The two women were staring deeply into each other's eyes trying to find any hidden trace of hostility masked with a facade. "Nice to meet you too. I've heard a lot about you," Anna said, still holding onto Ivy's hand.

"Same," Ivy responded, retaining her smile.

"You came too early," Director Tim interrupted their intros, "You will have to wait until the evening before you film your part."

"I came early to get familiar with the rest of the cast and crew, before I begin," Anna replied. Director Tim had no time to idle around, so he went back to work with Ivy. But before then, some of the rest of the crew asked for Anna's autograph, and she willingly signed them with a friendly smile. Looking at the way certain individuals were hovering around her, it made it seem like she was the lead character, whereas Ivy appeared small before her. Some of the crew even started to gossip.

"I wonder why Anna wasn't considered to be the lead character."

"Yes, what's so special about the outdate

    Joan's face twitched in annoyance, "Are you trying to tell me I am invisible?" "Slightly," Edmond glacially responded. Susan and Ivy were silently watching their tussle; they found it entertaining, especially Joan's facial expression. They hadn't seen this side of her before. Joan couldn't ignore how he constantly tried to rip her off her duty. "You've been irritating me since this morning. I am her personal assistant, not you. Stick to your job." "Oh, so you are her personal assistant? Then I am her bodyguard. And I am sticking to my job." Joan turned speechless, then it occurred to her. 'Did he know the water was drugged?' Her heart thudded, 'If he knows...' then he was really sticking to his job. "Guys, you shouldn't fight over me," Ivy tried to calm the tension between them. Joan admitted defeat, "Forget what I said to you. That was mean." She retracted the bottle of water. "You can have his, I don't mind." Ivy snorted at Joan's response. "Joan, what's the big deal?"

    The night was incredibly sultry, and the lovers got lost in their passion, forgetting about their early morning filming schedule. After numerous rounds, they were too exhausted to leave bed. In a panic, they rushed to the set separately, hoping to avoid raising any suspicions among the crew. However, they both still received a stern glance from Stephen, hinting that he was onto them. They both gave lame excuses for their lateness before giving sincere apologies. Stephen and director Tim overlooked them since they were only an hour late but not without sending a warning. With that, filming started for the day. It was an outdoor scene, the sprawling backlot highlighted a mock hill school premises with green-strewn carpet grass. The sunny bright sky beckoned them to embrace the day's pleasant weather. The scene to be shot was George's first appearance in the film. After changing into his costume, he walked out of his trailer prepared to shoot his first scene. The scene introduced Ge

    Ivy was surprised to see Anna waiting alone at the lobby the next morning. As she made her way towards the exit, Anna made an advancement to stop Ivy before she could leave. "Ivy, can I talk to you for a few minutes?" She had a bright smile as she spoke. Ivy agreed, and they sat down on the sofa. "Well, about what you saw yesterday..." She trailed off, biting her lips awkwardly. "Will you please keep it a secret?" Ivy shrugged. "I will." She had no free time to spread gossip around the set; it just wasn't in her personality. Anna breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you. I'm glad it was you who caught us; if it were one of the crew, there would have been a possibility of a scandal appearing in the news." Ivy smiled halfheartedly. "Yeah, we better get going..." Anna chuckled. "Oh, you're right. I really don't want to see Stephen's deep wrinkles again." They both stood up, left the hotel, and headed to the set. Anna had a few scenes for the day, while Ivy had a lot of them, bu

    Anna's assistant tried to placate Anna, but she was beyond her control. She helplessly watched Anna pounce on the cleaner, lashing out at her. The others saw this and quickly tried to separate them. With the way she lost control, her assistant called Anna's manager to report her behavior. Anna, after successfully satisfying her desire for punishing the cleaners, her mind settled, and she began to reflect on her behavior. She let her anger get the best of her, realizing her reaction would intensify the gossip. But one thought stung her — Ivy. She was the only one who knew about hers and George's intimate moment in the restroom; she was certain no one else was aware. "Was she the one that started the gossip?" Her view of Ivy began to change as her mind stirred her into believing Ivy had ill will towards her. For her to gossip about their relationship, even when she pleaded with her to keep it a secret, meant she intentionally wanted her to be criticized. While her mind was concluding

She had to wear shrouding clothes to hide herself from the media. When she arrived on set the next day, she was informed that Ivy had no scene that morning, only towards dusk. During filming, her mind was in a blur. She said wrong lines many times, not to mention her inattentiveness when Director Tim was instructing her on what to do. "CUT!" He groaned with a piercing sound, his assistant had to cover his ears and step back. "What is wrong with you? You've been making so many intolerable mistakes since the start of the day." His assistant whispered in his ears. "Director Tim, I think she is distracted because of the scandal..." "What scandal?" Director Tim raised his voice, and that made the other members of the crew swerve into the gossip mood. "She cheated on her fiancé." "Was it

    Ivy sat beside Director Tim, watching Anna perform. What she did brought relief, mostly to Director Tim. This time when he gave Anna instructions, she followed suit, leaving no room for mistakes. She completed her final scene without flubs, and the filming progressed quickly. After she was done for the day, the director announced a dinner break, and the two actresses decided to spend the time together. "That was really nice of you. I didn't expect you to help me after the annoying things I said to you," she said with guilt, fiddling with her spoon. "Sorry about my... you know... I really don't know how to control myself sometimes..." She quickly realized the word 'sometimes' wasn't true. "Yeah... all the time." "You shouldn't have lashed out at the cleaner or physically attacked them. It's understandable you're upset, but your reaction was definitely over the top..." Ivy responded, more like a scolding. If she were in that kind of situation, she knew exactly how to mentally handle

    Ivy appeared from behind with her arms crossed, staring deeply at Kate. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, how interesting," she said with a hint of amusement in her voice. 'Shit,' Kate cursed silently; the smile on Ivy's face was sending shivers down her spine. Then she recalled her promise to Zack Anderson. 'F*ck, that man, if he finds out, he'll...' She was scared to dwell on the thoughts of what Zack Anderson might do if Ivy rats her out. "She sent you, didn't she?" The small smile on Anna's face faltered. "I doubt that you came here because you needed a job." Her face turned serious. Anna sensed the hostility between them. "You know her?" She asked, and Ivy replied with a shrug. "Yes." "You were trying to turn me against her..." Anna realized her motive. If she and Ivy hadn't reconciled, she would have fallen for it. "So it was you." Another realization hit her. "You were the one behind everything." Kate was well aware of Anna's anger and strength that outmatched h

    "Cut! George, what is wrong with you today? Are you scared to hit her?" Director Tim was discontented with the fight scene George was performing. He would sluggishly feign a punch, and when hit, he would lazily fall down, making it seem like amateurish acting. That's because Ivy was the one he was supposed to hit. "Let's try again, and this time, make it look real. I don't have to teach you how to act..." Director Tim snarled and slumped on his throne-like chair. "Act 2, scene 224, Action!" It was the scene where Donna and her partner were having a sparring session. "Come at me," he gestured with his hands, bouncing up and down. Before he knew it, a jab landed on his jaw, and he fell to the ground, wincing in pain. "Cut!" Director Tim stood up immediately in shock. "Ivy, that punch was too heavy. Do you want to send him to the hospital?" "Served him right," Ivy muttered with a smug smile. George had been winking at her since the beginning of the scene, and it disgusted he

    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
