Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! Filial Son
Ivy motions the former detective to a seat while she settles on the couch facing every other one. Rand takes the seat offered him. "Wow, never in my years of living did I think I was going to get myself a desk job." He marvels as he looks around."You have my brother, Grant, to thank for that." Ivy chuckles and follows his gaze as it stays over everything. It's his job to be curious anyway so she won't stop him from being curious.He stops and returns his focus back to her. "Sorry, I got carried away.""It's completely fine and don't worry, you're not exactly here for a desk job, before I get into other things, let me give you a minor briefing of what your job is originally going to be."Rand nods and sits still."So, I assumed the role of CEO here less than a month ago and I have seen very bad things, things that have been considered normal. For example, I once saw a man smack a woman in the ass and walk away like it was completely normal... The former CEO of the company was pretty

Night seemed to have crawled that day, finally when it was sun down, everyone had to find their ways home, including Ashton and Ivy.As he does every other time, he comes to pick her up from work, never forgetting to be the perfect gentleman and open the door for her to seat before going round to sit in as well."How about we eat out? It's been a while since we had dinner in a breezy place?" Ashton asks, looking at her briefly.She nods excitedly and exhausted at the same time. "How about an outside place? I would love to sit under the stars and eat, I was so cooped up in my office, oh, and like I told you, I have a lot to tell you. Today was pretty interesting for me in a ton of ways.""I had a fun moment, or at least, a gossip worthy moment. I can't wait to share as well. Look over there, that looks like a good place doesn't it?"Ivy looks over at where he's pointing at and with the golden lights on inside, casting shadows on the outside and then the dim white lights outside, the pl

Ashton drops his wine glass and looks right at Ivy. "You're not kidding me right? It's not a prank?"Ivy shakes her head, her eyes dead serious. "Arielle gave me the information while begging for me to forgive and take her back."Ashton shakes his head. "Arielle did what? She came to your office and begged you to forgive her? So she can convince you to trust you, she told you that Yale was behind Tiara's murder?""That's basically it.""But, she lost her memory. How does she know that?""She told me she had been through hypnosis."Ashton scoffs. "She has lied about a lot before now, it won't make any difference if she is lying again."Ivy smiles. "Actually, this one is true."Ashton cocks his head to the side. "There's still something you're not telling me, what is it?"Ivy smiles. "You remember the detective who was in charge of Tiara's case? He resigned and I employed him. Turns out Hank Williams is his uncle."It's a lot of news for Ashton to digest all at once so he's very gratefu

As Grant walks into work the next day, he's joined by many of his crew men. He doesn't break his stride and continues walking. "What about the location I asked you to get for me yesterday?" He asks one of his younger subordinates without sparing him a glance."I was able to get it. I have the map location on your table already."He gives what looks like the ghost of a smile. "That's good. You're dismissed for the day."The man smiles at being given a day off and he very naturally leaves the men and women walking behind him without breaking the stride.The next person to fall beside him is also someone he's asked to do something already so he keeps checking in until he gets to the elevator.Here, he enters alone, his people bowing slightly till the elevator doors close and he's left alone.All of the sound in the air is the even hum of the elevator and his light breathing. All the time he ever has to himself at work is in the elevator and he has learnt to cherish it, so for these secon

Just like the day before, Arielle shows up at Ivy's office, using the best friend lie once again and gaining free access to free entrance to the office whenever she feels like it, and of course, it's Arielle, she feels entitled to everything.She walks right past Anita at the secretary station and opens the door to Ivy's office like it's hers, or like she had earned a right to it.Ivy clenches her fist and does a breathing exercise before speaking. "You're here early today."Arielle chuckles. "I know right? I could not stop thinking of you overnight. I was idle anyway so I decided to come say a long hi.""What do you mean by a long hi?""I mean, come to stay with you for a long time? If you don't mind that is. Afterall, I gave you such a piece of important information yesterday, so you can spend some time with me."Ivy notes her meaning but chooses to be dumb. "I have a meeting in about an hour so I'll be out in about thirty minutes. Sorry but you'll need to go some places else to say

In Grant's office, the manager of the employees in charge of the CCTV camera and watching it come to his office with a USB drive in his hands."I have the entire video from this morning here sir.""Well? Do I need to tell you what to do?""Not at all sir." He walks sheepishly to the TV in the middle of the room and connects his laptop computer with it, using a remote to guide the connection. At the end of the setting up, there are six boxes of videos on the screen, all of them the same time but different angles and places. "Done sir."Grant crosses his legs and watches the video intently, seeing the daily lives of his employees, a very large amount of them arriving with coffee cups in their hands, handbags and suitcases everywhere, black dresses... "Pause!"The manager snaps back to attention and presses the pause button. "Did you see something?""Take it back a few seconds, focus on Camera one, the one by the door exactly."The man follows instructions and it's only Camera one that's

Chapter 143After work that day, Raine drives her SUV home, in a better mood than she's been for weeks. Contented, happy and this massive amount of peace in her heart, she sings along to the song playing on the radio singing on top of her voice, drawing eyes from passengers and fellow drivers alike."...But I can't help falling in love with you..." It's worthy to note that Raine doesn't have the best singing voice but she belts out every line anyway. "Take my hands, take my whole life too... For t I can't help falling in love with you..." Few blocks from home, she hears a car horning behind her to go faster. "Do you want to fly?" She asks herself as she looks in the rear mirror. She catches glimpse of a somewhat familiar view entering into a tall apartment just some buildings away from her own home.The fear that she had lost comes banging on the door of her heart and inadvertently, she lets it in. Her hands on the wheel begins to tremble. She parks her car and looks at the apartment

"You're always writing in that small journal of yours. What's in there?" Her friend, Cale tries to grab the book from her but she dodges out of the way just in time. "Why are you so curious? Leave me alone."Cale furrows her brows and looks around, her eyes coming to land on the red head male, few trees away from them, sitting underneath one with his friends as they chat away, laughing from time to time. "Ah, it's him isn't it? You still have a crush on him?""What?" She turns beet red. "No I don't..."Cale cocks her head. "And I'm supposed to believe that when you're so red. You turn red when you're lying, you're a pinocchio in that sense."Davis bites her inner lips. "Is it that obvious?"Cale nods immensely. "Yes, totally. Very very obvious. You get as red as his hair whenever he's around. Then you start to scribble mysteriously into that book of yours. You better be careful, a lot of ladies already have their eyes on him."Davis rolls her eyes, her colour slowly returning to her

"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
Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! All that Wright-ly Matters.
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
