"This is my first and last warning to you. Watch yourself and watch your back. You've stabbed her back once but I won't let it happen again, physically or otherwise."Richard quickly intervenes and drags Arielle away from their front. "You can go now. Thanks for bailing me out.""I want my money back later." Ashton suddenly says, looking straight at Richard who forces himself to nod.Ashton removes Ivy's hand from his forearm and puts her warm palms in his. "Let's go dear." He smiles at her, his smile wide and taunting.Inside, she's a mess with laughter but she holds it in until they get to the car and drive away.Watching the red SUV drive away, Arielle seethes. "I get that he's a fine man who's rich and all that, who is he to talk to me like that?"Richard tuts. "I don't think you know the kind of person my brother really is. He keeps his friends close and his enemies closer as those wise words says."Arielle chuckles. "I would never have thought you're that smart. I have to say, h

After getting out of her clothes, Ivy looks around at her options.There's a long tee shirt and a short casual top with a male short.She opts for that and puts it on.She looks at herself and smiles. The top manages to be shorter on her, showing her belly button, she twirls around, admiring how she manages to look so good after all she went through.She sniffs the air. "The food's here so soon? Smells so good." She opens the room door and rushes downstairs, following the nice aroma to the kitchen where the scene before her makes her stop short.Ashton is chopping spring onions on the cutting board, an apron tied on his narrow waist in a pretty perfect bow.She chuckles.He turns around from the sound. "Come in and have a seat over there." He points to a reclining chair in the corner.Wordless, she sits down. "So... You're the one cooking." She comments"Surprised? I'm guessing you don't see that often." He retorts, giving her a sidewards glance."No, I don't. We have chefs at home an

Ashton feels the warm liquid drop on his neck and he leans in to her, letting her hug him from behind comfortably.'I made a right choice. Late, yes but right? Completely.' He thinks in his head.He clutches her hand and squeezes it two times. "I promise to not betray you as well, ever."She soon let's go of him and returns to her own chair, trying to wipe her eyes without looking like she is doing so.Ashton passes her a paper towel and she smiles and takes it.He looks outside and sighs fakely. "Oh, it looks like time has really flown by. How about I drop you off tomorrow morning? If you don't mind staying over?"She coughs slightly and drinks a glass of water. "Yeah, I'll stay... Uhm... In my room. Yeah, I can stay over in my room."He notes her nervousness and raises his hands in surrender. "I promise to be a gentleman tonight."Tonight.And tonight alone.She nods, completely overlooking the underlying trouble that the whole statement brings with it."Fine then. I don't want to p

Tiara wakes up with red rimmed eyes from crying so much the day before.She screams again, remembering the events of the previous day. "I would have paid that much for fucking damages when I didn't even target them?"Her stylist and assistant barges in, hearing her scream. "Tiara? What is wrong? Why did you scream so loud?"Tiara eyes the pretty lady with disgust.Her hair ruffled in every direction and her composure faltering, it's quite obvious her assistant did not sleep all night. "I'm sorry for barging in like that. I was worried when I heard the scream.""I called for a glass of water around three am and nobody answered me. What the fuck am I paying you all for if you can't do simple things like bringing me water?"Yale sighs. "Sorry. I was working on reviewing all your offers all night so I slept off around two am and then woke up four am again to continue. You might have called while I was asleep.""Again, am I paying you to sleep here? I kay you so well and handsomely so you

Ivy walks to the glass table in the room and gently drops the bento box in her hands.Very calmly and showing no expression whatsoever, she strides to where Arielle stands and slaps her.Arielle, shocked by the impact. "What..." She starts.Another slap.Her hands fly to her face, hoping to block her from hitting her again."Stop." Arielle shrieksIvy raises her hand and slaps her on her exposed cheek. "Is this enough yet for you to come your senses?"Arielle gasps. "You witch."Ivy slaps her again, the sounds of the slaps making mighty resonstuons.Ashton just reclines on his swivel chair, watching Ivy deal with Arielle."Is that enough yet?" Ivy asks again, her eyes bearing murderous intent.Arielle is too much in a daze and in pain to respond to her question. Arielle bends down to retrieve her leather coat but Ivy steps on it."No." Ivy picks up the coat, opens the window on the fifteenth floor and throws the coat downstairs, fifteen floors down into the road."No!" Arielle scream

Black coat draped on her left hand and bag on the right, Arielle saunters into Blue Ridge and looks around.She walks to the reception. "Is Tiara here yet?""Tiara... Oh yeah. The influencer? Yes ma'am, she's here. Please go up the stairs to room thirty. She's waiting in there."Arielle nods and takes the staircase up to the row of halls where the VVIP rooms are.Behind her, the receptionists snicker. "Of course, birds of the same feathers. I don't think that one has any idea what she looks like.""What won't these kind of women do for the sake of fashion? Sick."Upstairs, Arielle locates room thirty and opens the door."Hi, are you Tiara?" She asks as she closes the door behind her."I am. Have a seat." Tiara says, trying to be polite while very impolitely staring at what Arielle has on. "I hope I didn't take you from an important plan?""No, you didn't. I just went somewhere before receiving your call."Arielle is not about to tell Tiara that she just came back from seducing the man

Ivy rests her head on her car's wheel.A feeling of fear and doubt clouding her reasoning.She had been on top of the world when Richard proposed to her, so happy and had felt it was right and felt completely and utterly fulfilled.Now, she's going it again. She feels fine with Ashton, like she's getting the cream of the crop, like he's very right for her and that she'll feel fulfilled but the same feelings are the same ones she felt when she was getting married to Richard as well.It's like deja vu to an extent.She sighs, again and again, wondering to do.Should she call off the wedding?Should she just run away and come back when the scandal would have been forgotten?Should she...Her train of thoughts is interrupted by a knock on her car's glass.Startled, she looks up, right into Ashton's eyes."What..." She starts as she wounds down the window of the car. "What are you doing here? You should be in your office.""I can't concentrate anyway. Wanna go out and grab a cup of tea wit

The waiter nods and leaves."You were staring." Ivy comments."Was I? I didn't notice until now but you have this aura around you."What aura?""I would rather keep it to myself for now. As I was saying, I and Richard are different. I would never, never treat you the way he did, which of course, he's still going to pay for." His eyes stray down slowly to her hand where the burn has faded but it's still a little splotchy around where the burn once was."I know. But... I can't help but feel scared. The same way I feel around you now is the same way I felt around Richard when we got married. It felt so right...""No, that marriage was never right. Your family wasn't involved nor invited and neither was ours." Ashton states plainly. Ivy looks down, realizing he is right. How did she miss all those red flags? He always had an excuse, an answer for every question, every probe, which means that Richard had always thought of them before she even asked.Ashton watches her, noticing the confli

"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
Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! Twisted Truths.
"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
