Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! Some Interesting Facts.
Richard suddenly has a flashback. He had seen Arielle at the club that night and remembered speaking to her but about what, he doesn't remember. How had he paid for his drinks?How had he woken up in that motel?There must have been someone else there who can tell him everything or at least, some fragments of what really happened that night. Without following her gaze that's fixed on something behind him, he knows she staring at the money on the table.Richard keeps on fidgeting and asking himself the same question over and over again. Did I tell Arielle he had two billion dollars?Because if he did, he needs to repair his door soon, and very very soon so he grabs his phone right in her presence and calls the company that repaired it for him in previous times and makes an appointment for the next one hour.She can't possibly get anything done within the next hour.While on Arielle's end, she's still furiously thinking on how she will lay her hands on that money and get the hell out

Ashton pulls out a chair for Ivy to sit in before he walks around and sits opposite her.A woman in her seemingly mid forties approaches them. "Welcome to Dahee. What would you like to have?"The duo peruse the menu and think quietly.Ivy speaks first. "I would like some Udon noodles and Tteobokki." Ivy smiles while the woman chuckles. "Your accent is quite heavy on the words, they are pronounced as Udon and Tteobokki. It's quite simple but I'm native Korean so it's probably easier for me."Ivy laughs lightly. "I'll keep the pronunciations in mind."Ashton raises his head next. "Make the tteobokki a large one, then a medium sized donkatsu with cold noodles."She chuckles again. "Coming right up sir and ma'am."As soon as she leaves, Ivy chuckles lightly. "Even I can tell you didn't pronounce that other food correctly.""Donkatsu?"Ivy laughs. "Yeah, that one but that does not matter right now. We have things to share to one another and it's both pointing at one thing, Tiara's murder.

After a long day at work, hours after Ashton and Ivy had met for lunch.Ivy receives a phone call from Ashton. "Hello?""Hello darling, I'm downstairs. We can leave when you're ready."Ivy smiles. She's tired, too tired to drive. "I'll be right down. I'm exhausted and would appreciate the drive."Few minutes later, Ivy meets Ashton downstairs and gets into the car. She smiles tenderly. "Thank you for picking me up. Without you, I would have just taken a taxi to the hospital.""That's why I'm your husband. Let's go."They drive down to Axis Hospital and go in, taking the elevator to Veronica's room where she's walking around, laughing aloud, along with Damien who's teaching her to do some sort of dance."Is this supposed to be so hard? I can't just get it."They stop for a moment to acknowledge the couples presence. "Welcome.""Thank you. What are you both up to?" Ivy asks as she places her bag on the bed and sits, watching them as Ashton also takes a seat beside her."He's teaching me

It doesn't take a long time for the police, along with the help from Ivy and Ashton to begin their hunt for Arielle but strangely, she's nowhere to be found.For a whole two days, after an APB has been put out for her, she has been seen by nobody around.There is no way she could have possibly known ahead that they were coming for her so why? If she really had no skeleton in her cupboard, she would not have had any reason to run but if course, she knows that she is deeply involved in Tiara's death and the anger of her now forty eight million followers follow her everywhere, even though, Arielle herself now has twenty two thousand followers, all of them coming to curse her posts.Arielle on the other hand, is nowhere to be found.There is a bang on Richard's door. He frowns as he rolls off the bed, grumbling.Since he's jobless, he makes it a point to just stay in and sleep all day and at night, he makes a long party ride around town, visiting a ton of clubs and ending at motels with w

Anita makes her way into Ivy's office and bows slightly in greeting. "Hi Ivy. I have letters from the post office today. I don't even know if it's a post office, it was just delivered.""Letters?" Ivy chuckles "They still do letters?""I'm just as surprised as you are." Anita laughs as she places the single small brown envelope on her table and exits.Ivy looks at the letter and picks it up, she tears it open and brings out the neatly folded white paper inside. She opens it and reads the contents...And with every sentence she reads, her smile fades slowly until all she has on is a grim scowl on her face. She grabs her jacket, phone and keys. She stops at Anita's. "I'm going out. Can't say if I'll be back today. If I'm not back by two pm, then I won't be coming back at all. About that deal we're working on, you can tell them we'll do the audit on a condition. I'll let them know my condition during the meeting tomorrow."Anita nods and waves as she leaves.Ivy takes the elevator downs

"Your fighting and strength only arouses me... Ivy Wright."The sheer shamelessness of the man in calling her full name, along with get husband's last name, giving it away that he knows she is a married woman scares Ivy even further but she stops fighting him and lets her arm go limp in his hand so she won't give him any satisfaction.*"Do you really think this product you're showing me right now is worthy of the market? Do you even know how brutal sellinf anything is?" Ashton starts, as soon as the lights of the room return and the projector goes off.The man who presented the slideshow stands stock still by the projector, listening to Ashton. "Even if it is a good idea which I agree with actually, do you think your forms of marketing are going to be sufficient enough to sell this product? Because..." He's momentarily distracted by the vibrations of his phone and then it lights up with a message. "Excuse me." He checks the phone and sees a message from Ivy.Without any other word a

As soon as they get home, Ashton walks right behind Ivy into the house where he meets her in a chair, her eyes slightly red. "I'm sorry." She whispers to him and he pulls her into a big hug."You don't have to be sorry about anything. You did nothing wrong.""He told me to come alone that if I didn't, he would have killed you in the meeting that you were and I remembered you telling me you had a meeting so I believed him. I just wanted to have a trace of where I went that's why I sent the text message. I'm sorry I made you his target now."Ashton chuckles lightly and wipes her eyes. "Come on, I was already on his radar before he met you, he probably chose to meet you because you're my wife and maybe meeting you would have broke you into giving up the fact that I was the one who beat Roger up. Well, I robbed the opportunity for Roger to say it right from his mouth, we won this round so you do not need to be sorry about anything."Ivy manages a small smile through her tears."I should b

"Hello? I'm so sorry I'm calling so late but I have reliable information on where Arielle Brown is right now..."The police officers on the end spring up and into action, getting into their black van and driving right for Richard's house with the instructions given to them by Ivy.The two cars arrive at the perfect moment, at the same time and thankfully, the men had enough sense to put off the siren that would have given them away.Inside, Arielle has located the zipper behind the chair and has frantically began to pack the money into the bags she brought with her while humming and muttering to herself, sounding happy and elated. "That bastard won't see this coming. He stole it anyway, it doesn't matter if it is stolen from him too...""Is that what you think?" Ivy's voice rings out in the silence of the night, making Arielle stand stock still. She looks up and sees Ivy standing by the door, flanked on every side by men, including Ashton who has a small winning smirk on his face."Wha

"Calm down, she'll be fine." "How can I be calm when I can hear her screaming her lungs out here!" Ashton half yells at Grant and then composes himself. "Sorry but I can't help feeling like this when her screams seem to be pushing at my heart right now." Grant smiles and puts a hand on his shoulder. "You'll be fine." In a little bit, the agonizing screams stop and there's calm. Ashton springs to his feet the third time in a minute. A nurse comes out. "She delivered safely. It's a baby girl. She's been dressed now. You can..." She hears her name being called again and goes back inside, not finishing her sentence and the look she gave to Ashton makes him three times more scared. Ivy is in the labour room, her contractions had suddenly started while on a road trip so Ashton had drove like his life depended on it. Well, maybe because his wife's life depended on it and so did his. The baby had come two weeks earlier than the date she's supposed to arrive which has got all of them

She hugs him gently on the bed and presses a blue button above his head.In about a minute, the doctor with his levy of nurses open the door and come inside. Ivy leaves them to it and steps out for the moment. As soon as she steps out, everyone crowds around her."What's wrong?""Why are the doctors rushing in like that?"Ivy smiles and motions them to calm down. "He woke up just now. I called the doctors for their routine check. We may be able to see him after his checkup."They all sigh in relief and some even hug in relief.She waits with them outside and after a little while, the doctors and nurses finally come out of the room."He's fine now. You all can go in to see him."Without waiting for any other confirmation of any sort, they all push past them like the really big family they are portraying and go inside the room, Ivy goes in last but Veronica gives her the chair so she won't stay standing, tired because of the life growing in her belly.At first, there's nothing but then

The next three hours is a flurry of activities as their families begins to troop in, Grant joining them at a point."Where is he?" Judith asks as soon as she arrives, talking Ivy's in his."They just wheeled him out of the surgery room. I was told to wait outside while they set him up or something."Judith nods. "Oh thank goodness. How did you find him?"She glances at Grant who shrugs right back at her. "I had help from a police officer. He helped me locate him.""Don't tell me it was that one on the news?" Veronica chips in as she comes by, coming into the discussion."Yes, it was him. He just wanted Trust Financials as a reward but I knew he was going to betray me anyway so I didn't really give him.""But the news didn't say you were there?" Judith quips this time."Well, I left there with Ashton and came to the hospital so I wasn't really there. Just popped in and out." She smiles, turning slightly red as she covers one lie with another.Grant laughs and then quickly masks it with

"Grant! Watch out!" Ivy yells as she grabs the gun laying closest to her.Grant whips around and stares right into the barrel of a Beretta '94 that had been left behind by one of Mike's own men.Mike chuckles painfully. He glances momentarily at Ivy who's fiddling with the gun in her hand and scoffs. "You can't even handle it, how can you use it?" He takes his eyes off of her and focuses it on Grant. "So you killed my little brother because he raised the gun at you first? Why am I not dead yet?"Grant rolls his eyes. "Is this one of those villain long talks? I'm sick of them, come on. Just drop the gun and accept your fate. Is that so hard? You lost the fight. Well, leave then." Grant mutters disinterestedly even though he's looking right at a loaded gun.Mike shakes his head. "A fight isn't over until it's really over. Do you know why I took that man? Her husband? After she passed out, I was determined to make him a widower who lost his baby by not letting her to go the hospital on t
Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! Horror!
Recovering from the gunshot and sudden appearance of Grant, Ivy runs for Ashton's who's very weak and his pulse is irregular. She looks around and her eyes land on a bunch of keys on one of Mike's men's trousers.He smirks at her when he sees her eyeing the keys. "Come get them darling."There's a second gunshot and a glaring hole appears right in the middle of his forehead and he falls to the ground. Wordlessly, Ivy runs for his body and removes the key. Mike's men all flee seeing that one dead. They all drop their weapons and run away, leaving Hank and Mike.The fact that her brother just murdered someone doesn't count at in the current circumstances. She loses the chains that he's been tied down with and he falls limply down into her arms. She holds him up with her strength, not letting him hit the ground, the same way he had cushioned her head that night Mike had hit her in the stomach.He moves ever so slightly and his hand come to rest on her legs before he closes his eyes, a ve

True to his words, Hank calls her in thirty minutes. Reminding her that she has thirty minutes to get there. "Where am I meet you?" She asks him on the call."Grey Street Garage..."She immediately springs up from her chair, grabs all the documents from the table and hisses, remembering that place. She had been locked in a warehouse on the same compound for two nights. She inhales sharply and she's sure she's ready to go there.Not like she has a choice anyway.Anita sees her breeze right by but she doesn't say anything, guessing it's about the call that brought back her appetite momentarily. She sighs, wishing her boss well. If everyone in the whole wide world has to go through such thing, she'd never wish it on Ivy. She's basically the best boss she's ever had.The best of the best.Which is why she wishes her luck silently as the elevator doors close with Ivy inside.As soon as she's on the ground floor, she dashes for her car, checking the time every few seconds. It takes about t

The first day went by...So does the second.On the third day, it has Ivy in a bind, pacing in her office.Anita comes in with a plate of vegetable salad and mashed potatoes, and steak in another plate along with another takeout cheeseburger and fries, even chicken nuggets as well, hoping she would eat one of the many dishes.She hardly acknowledges her entrance as she sets all of them down on the table and looks at Ivy as she paces around her table, her eyes not leaving her phone.Even Anita has no idea what she's waiting for but it seems to have so much importance to her so she can't interfere but she can eat while waiting... Right?"Ma'am, you won't eat lunch again? This is the third day you're skipping your breakfast and lunch."Nobody knows about the baby except her family, his family and himself.She looks askance at Anita and then looks away again. "I'm fine. I ate a lot last night.""Really? I was the one who threw the dishes away this morning."Anita has been the one bringing

"Ma'am!" The officer yells as he bangs his palms flatly on the table. "This place is no joking area. There are conclusive evidence against you, all of this interrogations are simply formalities! Do you accept the fact that you did kill Tiara or not?"Yale scoffs. "Technically, Richard killed her not me."In the interrogation room directly upstairs, Richard scoffs. "That bitch said so? She's just trying to shift blames. She was the one who absolutely killed Tiara. As Ivy said in the press conference, I only aided and abetted. I am well aware of that and I am not denying it. But I really didn't kill Tiara."Downstairs. "He aided and abetted? That rat. He was the one who dragged her body to the car and suggested we dump her in the ocean!"Upstairs. "That whore. She said I suggested it? She hit Tiara over the head and make her pass out which I totally witnessed. Then we thought she had died. Thinking of it now, she had not even seemed any scared at all, she just said we should throw the b
Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! What it's worth.
A murmur ripples through the whole crowd.Time seems to stand still.The point exactly was that nobody was expecting that was what she had come to say. Nobody, not even Anita who plugs in the flash drive and the presentation begins.Almost soulless and robot-like, Ivy turns around to the projector behind her that has a picture of cars. Not very specific car but a lot of them.Then she begins her presentation, using the laser pointer to point at the things that matter. "We all know Tiara died and her body had been fished out of the sea. Well, she didn't drown, she was murdered so that means she had been carried or somehow transported to where her body had been dumped. There are things called dash cams..." She uses the laser to point just as the image changes into a car's close up view.There is a small device with a blinking red light and she points to it. "That's called a dash cam and not every car has it but every two of five does. Which is why, from the place she had been killed, I
