"XAVIER!" Zack hollered his name, looking at the stairs, as he knew Xavier would descend the flight of stairs to meet him.

"Yes... Sir..." Xavier walked towards him, hanging his head low.

"Why did you let him in without telling me first?" He glared at him, obviously angry.

Ivy wanted to calm the tension but refrained as she noticed the guest was nonchalantly sipping his wine, relaxing on the exquisite sofa as if shutting himself out of the argument.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but he... he..." The butler stammered, giving the guest a pleading look, as if sending an unspoken message across.

Won't he say something at least? He was in trouble because of him.

"He what?" Zack snapped, but it seemed Xavier couldn't explain how he had let the guest in.

Zack's gaze fell on the guest again, then he crossed his arms. He usually doesn't welcome visitors into his villa.

"How did you make him let you in, old man?"

Roy burst into a fit of laughter, placing his glass of wine on the table. "Are

    The dusk came, and the villa located at Azure Hill Estate was cozier than before. The sound of China wares and champagne glasses clicking, coupled with the harmony of soft laughter and the warm glow casting on them added to the delightful vibes. Well, the sound of laughter was mostly coming from old man Roy and Ivy; as for Zack, a small smile would once in a while tug up his lips but would immediately disappear after. But truly he was enjoying the wonderful moment with his wife and father; this feeling was something that hadn't felt in a long time. He had left the grand mansion in his early twenties after the issue with his brother Albert; since then he hardly called them, not to mention visits. He only attended the family dinner at that time just because he wanted to teach Dave a lesson and give Ivy the satisfaction of seeing her ex regret. "Belle, haven't you ever wondered what Zack's childhood was like?" Roy brought up another conversation that didn't go well with Zack. A scowl

    Meanwhile, Irene was exiting an upscale restaurant. Her hair was tied up in a bun, her dimples were clearly visible on her cheeks as a faint smile played on her lips. She wore a red turtleneck gown that fully accentuated her figure, plump chest, and slightly curvy hips. Her face gleamed with confidence as she approached the Maybach parked ahead. Ethan was by her side, decked in a tailored suit which made him look smart and stylish. He elegantly opened the door to the back seat for her with a smile on his face. "Gosh, you look so much like her, even the figure looks the same," he said in a whisper as they got into the back seat. "The resemblance is too frightening; those sets of exercises really paid off." Irene smiled, observing her face in a mirror she took out of her purse. "Debbie's skills seem to be improving with each passing day." "Yeah, it's so hard to tell the difference between you and Ivy," Kate, who was seated in the back seat, chimed in as she stared at the pleased look

    Ivy stared at Zack in deep thought, weighing the validity of his assumption. Was it really a random accident? If it was, then what was the culprit's true intentions?She realized the answers to those scary thoughts, whoever it was, that person was trying to hurt her, perhaps worse."Do you think it was Isabelle, she is in prison.....""I don't know if she has contact outside prison, but all I know is you need extra security until this mastermind behind your abduction is apprehended." Zack replied, sitting up on the bed. His expression turned serious as he stared deeply at her."Ivy, I don't want you worrying too much about this. Whoever that person might be, I won't let him hurt you. I'll do everything in my power to ensure your safety."Ivy nodded absentmindedly, still dwelling on the possibility of Jake Black being behind her abduction. Just as the detective said, maybe Isabelle was the accomplice, maybe someone else was also involved in her abduction."I just said you shouldn't wor

    The day Ivy would be returning to set came. She didn't know what plans Zack had concerning her accommodation; he didn't state if she would have to travel back and forth or stay at the same hotel. For her, it would be tiring to journey to and fro the set, and as for staying at the hotel, she was sure Zack wouldn't like that since he was worried about her safety. He mentioned he would hire several bodyguards to give her protection. She still hadn't figured out how she would cope with that but there was nothing she could do to change his mind. When she woke up, there was no sign of Zack. She figured he must have left early for work as he had skipped many days due to the abduction incident. She was escorted by Xavier to the parking courtyard, behold there were tons of people waiting for her there. She sighed, not bothered counting their numbers, reminding herself her hubby was just doing all of this for her safety as he stated her safety was what matters. She smiled as she saw Detect

    After the three-hour drive, they finally arrived at the set."We're here, ma'am..." Louis informed Ivy, as her mind was distracted. He got out and opened the door for her. When she came out, she glanced at the car parked behind them, the one which had the security professionals in it. She hoped she wouldn't have to deal with media about that subject if they noticed another car was following closely behind her everywhere she goes, especially now that they are probably on the set waiting for her.While the film set gets ready to bustle with activities for the day, the reporters mingled with the crew, trying to gather more information about the Ivy scandal and the crew members' individual thoughts towards Ivy's professionalism.They approached the less busy ones, firing questions at them."Where is the lead actress today, hasn't she returned for her shoot?""Is it true she has been sick for the past few days?"The crew members brushed them off, offering vague statements or "no comments."

    Filming was wrapped up for the day, and Ivy was taking a short break before she would retire home. She had no idea where Zack had ordered Louis to take her for the night, nor had she received any message from him since morning.After changing back into her clothes, Joan passed her a bottle of water as usual, but this time Ivy was hesitant to drink it. She remembered how she felt after drinking one from the set the other day."Aren't you thirsty?" Joan asked after noticing her hesitation.Before Ivy could reply, another bottle of water was passed to her by one of the bodyguards she didn't realize was standing behind her. "Here ma'am."Joan's gaze shifted to the man who appeared out of nowhere, giving Ivy a bottle of water. This was a repetition of what Edmond did back then, and now it was being done by someone she didn't recognize.Ivy took the bottle without hesitating, which caused a frown to settle on Joan's face. "But...I..."Ivy didn't let her finish speaking before she interrupte

    The door clicked open, and Bryan stepped in with an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry to disturb you, sir, Madam."Zack messaged his temple, feeling a bit irritated for disrupting the moment. He gestured, allowing him in. "Did the detective call? Is that why you returned?""Yes." Bryan replied. Ivy had settled on one of the plush sofas; her initial fervor was gradually giving way to a sense of tranquility but it swung when she observed the look on Bryan's face. She could only hope whatever news he got from the detective would be good.The two men sank into the sofa, Zack sitting beside, while Bryan sat opposite them.Zack's expression turned serious as he struck up the main discussion. "What is it? Is it related to the unpleasant news you told me earlier today?""Yes, it is related, and it's terrible news." Bryan responded.Ivy furrowed her eyebrow as his words triggered her curiosity. "What happened, have they found the perpetrator?"The look on Bryan's face said otherwise. He shook

    Ivy knew where he was getting at; it seemed he never got tired of teasing her. She rose to her feet to walk away but was quickly stopped by Zack."Fine, I won't tease you again. Just sit."She sat down, avoiding eye contact with him as she didn't want to get stuck in his gaze like earlier before Bryan interrupted."I suggested the hug because I thought you were scared." Zack explained, his voice laced with concern as he stared at her deeply. He very much wanted to comfort her in any way he could.Ivy gave a wry smile. "I am a bit worried but I'm not afraid because whosoever they are, they won't succeed in hurting me."Zack affirmed but also amused by her optimism and confidence. It drove him to confess his thoughts to her. "I've always admired your bravery and resilience."Ivy's smile widened, pleased by his accolade, prompting her to also make her own confession. "And I'm happy I have someone to rely on; you are very dependable."A smile etched his face; he usually frowned at complim

    ONE WEEK BEFORE THE TRIAL The blanket stirred, ripping like a wave, as Zack and Ivy's bodies moved in sync. Their lips were pressed tightly together, their breath mingling in the quiet room. Ivy had her hand wrapped around Zack's neck, deepening the kiss. Her soft moans filled the room. But just as they were getting lost in the moment, the shrill ring of Ivy's phone shattered the intimacy. Ivy pulled away, reaching for her phone on the bedside table, but when she saw who the caller was, she cut the call and let out a frustrated sigh. “Judy again, isn’t it?” Zack asked, irritation creeping into his voice. Ivy nodded and slumped back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Judy had been blowing up her phone nonstop, sending her a barrage of texts and voicemails. It had become increasingly annoying by the day, and Ivy felt like just meeting with her and giving her a piece of her mind. On the other hand, she didn’t feel like it, as she knew Judy wouldn’t stop apologizing. “I

    FEW DAYS LATERIvy sat in the therapist's office, fidgeting with her hands as she tried to process the events of the past few weeks. Firstly, discovering her father was alive, then his repulsion, then the truth behind her mother's death. She sighed. It was all too overwhelming—Zack was right, she needed help if she wanted to dive into the road of vengeance. She had to be emotionally stable to handle the heat. That's why she had agreed to visit a therapist, as the nightmares were becoming unbearable. Ivy couldn't shake off the feeling of helplessness that had consumed her for so long.Dr. Thompson, a middle-aged woman with a kind face, took a seat across from her with a warm smile on her face."Welcome, Mrs. Anderson," she greeted, and Ivy returned the smile, forcing her lips to curl up.She looked up at Dr. Thompson, who was watching her with a compassionate gaze, and she asked, feeling a sense of desperation wash over her, "Where do I even start?"Dr. Thompson leaned forward, her eye

    "Ivy, Ivy," Zack called softly, standing at the door to their bedroom. Ivy had locked herself in again and refused to answer.It made Zack wonder if he had been too pushy, too insensitive. He knew Ivy was strong and capable, but he also knew that she was still vulnerable, still hurting from her past. And it was like a thorn to his heart to see her suffering.He hoped that she would forgive him, that she would understand that he was only trying to help. But as the minutes ticked by, Zack couldn't shake the feeling that he had made a mistake—one that might take some time to repair."I'm sorry, Ivy," he whispered. "I promise to listen to you, to understand you. Please, just let me in."Zack paused, hoping that Ivy would respond, but there was only silence. He sighed, feeling a pang of regret and worry. He didn't want to lose Ivy, not even for a moment. He wanted to be there for her, to hold her, to comfort her.He tried again, his voice softer, more gentle. "Ivy, please. Don't shut me ou

    Once the kitchen was spotless, Ivy and Zack got to work cooking up a storm together. They chatted and joked, with Ivy doing most of the work, supervising Zack on what to do."I'll start chopping the veggies," Ivy said, picking up a knife and heading to the cutting board."What do you need me to chop?" Zack asked, standing beside her."Can you chop the bell peppers and onions?" Ivy replied, starting to chop some broccoli.Zack nodded, taking the knife from Ivy and beginning to chop the bell peppers and onions. The sound of sizzling vegetables and the aroma of stir-fry filled the air as they worked together.As they chopped and cooked, Ivy felt a sense of calm wash over her. This was what she needed – a normal, quiet evening with her husband, away from the drama and stress of her family's secrets. She wished every day could be like this, problem-free.But as they cooked, she couldn't help but think about her conversation with Irene earlier that day. She knew she had to tell Zack about i

    Upon hearing Irene, Ivy recall what she had gone through a few months ago with Jake's situation. The danger, fear, and anxiety all came flooding back. Her eyes glazed over as she stared blankly into space. Was she ready to face that kind of situation again? It seemed her father's cruelty was beyond her imagination. "Having second thoughts?" Irene's voice cut through the fog, snapping her back to reality. "It would be better if we don't do anything rash, at least not now." Ivy shook her head in disapproval. She refused to sit back and do nothing while he had threatened her about Jeremy's trial. Upon drifting to this thought, she tugged on Irene's sleeve and forced her to sit back down. Irene didn't resist Ivy's pull but sighed in frustration. "We can't just sit back and do nothing, Irene," Ivy continued. "He's threatening me with Jeremy's case." Irene's brow furrowed in confusion. "Jeremy's case as in—wait." She paused, her eyes widened in shock. "Jeremy is back!" Ivy nodded a

    Ivy refused to sit back and let things unfold before her eyes. Though she hadn't recovered from the trauma of her past, she had to take action.Ivy concealed her plan from Zack and her decision to investigate on her own. She needed Zack, but there were actions to be taken without Zack's help.So, the next day as Zack left the office, Ivy put on a brave face, not wanting to arouse any suspicion and also to avoid the retort of a therapist. She waited until Zack was out of sight, and with a sense of purpose and trepidation, Ivy dialed Irene's number.The line went through, and Irene's voice sounded with a hint of irritation."What do you want now?"Ivy ignored Irene's icy tone and got to her point."Let's meet up at the French bistro," she said flatly, leaving no room for protest.Irene chuckled at Ivy's slightly commanding tone, intrigued by whatever reason Ivy might have."What do you want?" Irene repeated, exasperation creeping into her voice."I'd rather discuss that in person, and I

    As Zack swept her into their bedroom, Ivy's heart skipped a beat, racing with anticipation. She felt the wall against her back as Zack's strong hands pinned her in place."Late noon sex won't be so bad after all," Ivy teased as she felt Zack's hands cradle her hips, lifting her higher, his fingers digging gently into her skin.Ivy was breathless as her body was pressed closer to Zack's, their faces merely inches apart. The movement sent a thrill through her, and she felt her body responding at all turns."I'm glad you like the ideas," Zack finally spoke, a soft whisper in her ears, as he held her suspended, her hips at his mercy.Ivy's lips parted slightly, her body leaning into him. Her heart throbbed. Instinctively, she found her hand already wrapping around Zack's neck, pulling him close.She knew she should probably pull back, as it wasn't their usual position, but she couldn't help herself. She was drawn to Zack, and she didn't realize it at first, but she needed him right now. H

    "Yeah, I don't see tears on your cheek," Susan said, her voice laced with sarcasm as she gently wiped away the tears streaming down Ivy's face.Ivy's eyes widened in embarrassment, and she quickly looked away, trying to compose herself.Susan's expression softened, and she wrapped her arms around Ivy, pulling her into a warm hug. "It's okay, Ivy. Let it all out. I'm here for you."Ivy's resistance crumbled, and she buried her face in Susan's shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably. Susan held her close, whispering words of comfort and reassurance as Ivy finally allowed herself to release the emotions she had been bottling up for so long.As Ivy cried, Susan stroked her hair, murmuring softly, "That's it... Don't worry about the time; we have all day."After what felt like an eternity, Ivy's sobs finally subsided, and she pulled back from Susan, her face red and puffy from crying. Susan handed her a tissue, and Ivy blew her nose, feeling a little more composed."I'm sorry," Ivy said, her voic

    Susan's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly composed herself and hurried around to the driver's side of the car. "Okay, Ivy, let's get out of here," she said softly, starting the engine.Meanwhile, Anna merely stood by, observing as Ivy's car disappeared into the distance. It appeared that her pleasant chat with Ivy would need to be postponed, as it was clear that Ivy had her own issues to address. Anna sighed and shook her head, feeling a pang of concern for Ivy. She had no idea what was going on but made a mental note to reach out to Ivy later and check in on her.As she turned to head back to her own car with her PA, she noticed a figure watching her from across the parking lot. It was a man, and the moment their eyes met, the man turned away and hurried out of the parking lot."I think that's a paparazzo," her PA suddenly spoke up from behind her, having also noticed the man."Or a journalist," Anna remarked. "Either way, we should be careful," Anna continued, her eyes scann
