Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! Shoo in Killer
Ivy leaves the room for a short moment and comes back with a stack of documents, handing it over to Ashton who in turn hands it to Mike who buckles slightly under the weight.They also give him a pen atop all the documents."What's this? Why is it so much?" Mike asks, looking at the stack of documents in his hands, unable to resist the urge to drop them to the ground which he does while resisting the urge to wince with all his broken parts and injured face. "What are these? Are you taking away our right as humans along with these too?" He asks them sarcastically, completely hating the position they have him in.Ivy chuckles. "Why would we? Were you ever even humans? Trying to drug a woman so she would throw herself at you... That, I have to tell you, is not something a human would do."Mike seethes. "What's in there?"Ashton sighs and turns to Ivy. "It seems like they have all the time in the world. Let's leave them to read it word for word. Oh, we will lock the door of course. We wil

Rand stalks to where Richard is sitting with a smug smile, holding up his wrists and wiggling them to signify to be released.He grabs him up by the shoulder and carries him before slamming his back into the wall.Richard winces, frowning deeply. "What the fuck? Do you know this now counts as assault? You should not be raising your hands against a simple innocent civilian like me. You can be sued for this."Rand scoffs and looks him disgustingly. "Like you have the money to sue me. You used to fuck that woman, you know very well that she didn't kill her but because she's the scapegoat, you're fine with saving your own skin."Richard scoffs right back into his face and shoves him backwards. "Who are you to choose what I do or not? I don't have a choice, you saw the way your boss dragged her off. It seems like his word is law around here.""You don't have a choice? No, you fucking do, you money grubbing cheating bastard. You can sue me for the words too. You can just go ahead to tell me

After a further agonizing hour of paperwork's and getting his handcuffs removed and getting all his belongings back including his clothes and car keys and phone and all other effects that were taken away from him on the morning of the arrest, Richard finally walks down the hallway to the front door of the police station unescorted and a smile plastered on his face.He first inhales deeply, taking a very deep breath, fresh breath that's not polluted with smells of urine or sweat or even death, if it has a smell. He looks around for his car and finds it, left uncovered in the harsh afternoon sun."Such idiots." He mutters to himself as he walks to it and pats it fondly. He unlocks it and gets inside, inhaling his own smell, the smell of freedom to him. He starts the car and listens to the hum from the car, he sits comfortably and takes his hand away from the wheel, looking back to the tall glass building in front of him with the big symbol of the police station and it's name in large bo
Last Updated : 2024-04-08Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! First day at Work... Again.
Early in the morning of the next day, Ray Corporation sees itself with a new CEO and to mark that, Ivy has the Ray sign on the front of the company bulldozed.In front of watching spectators and employees of the company, she stays in her black tinted car and watches as the glass sign is shattered and people jump out of the line of fire to not get hit or impaled by the glass shards that seem to be everywhere.After everything has been cleared, she opens her car door and steps out. Dressed in black pants and black waist coat, she grabs her light red bag, matching her shoes and stride into the company under the scrutinizing eyes of the onlookers and employees, who are all wondering who she is and what her presence is for.One of the receptionist stops her and runs to meet her. "Excuse me ma'am but you can't just go in like that. Who are you here to meet."Ivy turns around and smiles easily. "I see you haven't seen the notice. This Corporation is not owned by Micheal or Roger Drumlin anym

In two hours, business at work has officially started and in another one hour, she will be having her first meeting with Hank Williams.As soon as she made the call earlier, he had immediately conceded to her meeting him over some coffee.Ivy sighs... And sighs... And sighs all over again, her expression one of anger and terrible disappointment. She rings the buzzer and Rachel comes inside.At least for the day or the next one week, she'll still be working there while training Anita on the things that really matter in a large conglomerate like this one, which is a big change from the humble auditing company they just came from. She comes inside and stands in front of the room.Ivy had noted that it seems to be an habit already and just ignores it. "What are these accounts? I mean, this is a damn group of companies not just one. Infact, a single company that's doing averagely well can't have this despicable and terribly obviously forged account books! Where are the originals? I can tel

Richard slept off overnight on the couch in his living room while waiting for Grant or his men to show up.He suddenly jerks awake and wipes his drool, looking around then a feeling of disappointment overcoming him. "Why didn't that jerk show up? I would love to give him a piece of my mind. Now that I'm out of jail and know his face, he's staying away?" He stands up from the couch and stretches, a long frown on his face as he does so and then it relaxes. "It's actually good to be back home..." A sinking feeling comes into his stomach and he just sits back down, feeling empty and guilty. "I wonder what Arielle is up to right now..."His front door opens and a familiar tall man comes inside. "I would have thought you would have repaired your door handle..."Richard stands up to his feet, surprised to see Grant by his door so early in the morning, in his house and he's not blindfolded, neither is he with anyone else. He sneers right after. "I choose what I do with my door."Grant raises

On his third marijuana cigarette by the time he gets back to the main headquarters, Hank's eyes are red and everyone just clears out of his path, not wanting to be the victim of a transfer of aggression which will not be nice at all.When it comes to Hank being angry and aggressive, it is explosive and a ton of people can get injured whether physically or emotionally at the same time with the venomous words or acts that he'll perform.This time, although his fists are clenched, he clenches the cigarette to his mouth and just takes the elevator alone to the top floor where Arielle is locked up.As soon as he arrives, his subordinates salute him. "Sir!.“He waves at them. "At ease. Where is she?""She's with Officer Bank in Room 3."Hank simply nods and turns around. He walks to the room, with a steel door labeled outside as interrogation room 3. He puts his hand on the doorknob and stops. He takes it away and enters the mirror room to first see what's going on inside.The junior office

Few minutes later, as Hank had said, a female officer comes in and removes the handcuffs from her wrist. She signals Arielle to follow her to where she will receive her clothing and other effects since she's to be released.Now, for the death of Tiara Callaghan, there is no one being punished, all three people who know about it are free, all walking around like every other innocent person, the guilt not bothering them or anything.Arielle steps out of the station and takes a deep breath. Ever since her escape attempt, she has not been able to take a good breath of air, even when Hank had come to take her away from the Metro station, she had been gagged to keep from screaming so whatever breath she took was very invalid and meant solely for survival so as not to suffocate under the filthy smelling rag stuffed in her mouth.Arielle sniffs something bad and frowns. She stops inhaling and uses two fingers to cover her nose. "What's that bad smell?" She asks, sniffing but the smell is ever

"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
Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! Reds in Blood.
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
