"WHAT?!" The lady with long jet black hair screams suddenly and flings her iPad across the room, shattering it.

A man rushes inside. "What is it ma'am?" He sees the shattered device on the floor and proceeds to pick up the shards, very familiar with his master's anger outbursts.

She watches him, her face a mask of anger and fury. "Call me Ben as soon as you leave this room!"

"Yes ma'am." He leaves immediately, knowing what will come for him if he doesn't.

In less than two minutes, another man enters the room. "I was told you called for me?"

She stands up from her heart couch and stands in front of him. "So there was something as loud as Ashton's engagement party yesterday and you didn't deem it fit to let me know?"

"Ehn..." He starts and squeezes his face as Tiara places the heel of her shoe on his toes. He holds in his shout, his eyes shut in pain.

"I'm still expecting my answer. Why the fuck didn't you let me know?"

"I found out very late and you were already asleep. By that time as

Ivy should have allowed Ashton to deal with his ex. That's his past, not hers. Sounds like she doesn't trust him enough.

    In three hours, Ivy parks her car in front of the renowned restaurant and exits the car, walking inside the restaurant.It's a fancy restaurant so apart from the outdoors sitting area and indoors area, there is still the reservations made for private rooms.She approaches the desk. "Hi, I'm here to meet a certain Miss Tiara.""Miss Ivy Hall?"Ivy nods. "Please come with me."The attendant takes her up the stairs into the dimly lot hallway, with rows of doors lining the walls down the halls on both sides.The attendant knocks the door and opens for Ivy to enter. "Thank you.""What would you both like to have?""A cup of sparkling water is fine for me..." Tiara starts while Ivy just shakes her head, signifying she wants nothing.The door closes with an almost inaudible click behind them.Ivy takes her seat without waiting for Tiara to ask her to. "Why am I here?"Tiara scoffs. "You don't even deem it fit to say hi? Hello?""You didn't invite me here to hear my hello right? Why am I he

    Liam rushes down the staircase, early the next morning, looking very frantic, he runs right into Grant at the foot of the stairs. "Whoa. What's wrong?"Liam stops to catch his breath. "I have to show this to Ivy, where is she?""She's with mum in the garden, what is it? Let me see it." Grant takes the phone from Liam and watches the video spanning forty seconds but worth a lot of backlash.He frowns immediately. "Who posted this?""That girl, the stupid influencer she went to meet yesterday! I mean, she did a video of it all and obviously Ivy doesn't know about it. I have to show her."Grant holds his shoulder. "You know what? Don't show her yet, you can show her in an hour. She's already stressed enough and she's spending time with Mum. Don't take that from both of them."Liam stops short, thinking of it positively. "How about forty five minutes then? It's gotten a lot of views."Grant smiles. "She doesn't have to deal with it herself. She has people backing her, you, me and her to

    In forty five minutes as planned, Liam shows Ivy his phone, a smile on his face.He's on Tiara's page."What am I supposed to see here?" She asks, seeing nothing interesting on the page. She looks up at him curiously."That's it exactly. What you're supposed to see there is not there anymore, because of..." He scrolls down right into the CR Group's own post.She reads the whole thing, enamored, and then the video right underneath it.Their whole encounter at the restaurant. From the time the tiny camera was set to the time when Ivy left the room.Ivy reads it all with wide eyes. "She posted this?""Nope, well, yes, but an edited version. She removed all her own words and made you seem like a rude bitch who only cares about herself and still pours water on her as well.""That seemed oddly specific.""Do you know what's more? I don't think you have seen your account this morning. Ashton opened an Insta account and posted you. Do you even know what his handle is?"Genuinely interested in

    Ashton exits his car, looking around at the very large mansion in front of him.It would do the place justice if it's called a castle infact, because there is no other word that can be used to qualify such a large and well placed together housing.Maybe an Estate?The front door opens and out comes who he's learnt is Ivy's younger brother.Also a flaming red head.Liam bounds towards him, a slight smile on his face. "Good evening brother in law." He greets, expecting a comeback.Ashton, still leaning on the car, just smiles. "Hi Liam. What are you up to today?""I'm fine. I'm just curious after all that fiasco online. That picture you posted of her, looks pretty recent. Where did you take it?""The morning of her divorce." He replies passively, closing the car door and walking to meet Liam on the other side. "I took it at the courthouse after she submitted the document and it got finalized.""Wow. That's so cool and brave of you. I'm jealous of you two." He coos slightly, tilting his

    "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

    "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

    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
