Ivan’s POV“I need to be home soon so please let’s just get all of this over with.” I informed Reece and Ansel. Ever since Lexi told me she has good news for me I haven’t been calm.I really wanted to see her and I couldn’t stop checking the time to know how late I’d be. I didn’t want to keep her waiting, especially since I asked her to wait for me.“You called this meeting and it’s going to be our fault that you’re getting home late for happy hour?” Ansel asked and Reece snickered.Shooting them a glare, the room fell silent and I started the meeting. I've been meaning to promote Lexi and there’s no better time to talk about it than now.Since she’s been a part of the company, her impact has been great and we’ve recorded more sales and production than usual.“She’s like your little good luck charm,” Reece smiled at me and as cute as her smile was it felt kind of creepy but I shrugged it off.I recognize the smile and it’s the one she usually does anytime she was expecting me to admit
Lexi’s POVLaying on the bed, I was devastated and as much as I tried to keep my mind off Ivan, to keep my mind off the fact that something bad might’ve happened to him.Unable to sleep, I kept my eyes open till Camille’s bedside alarm rang, indicating that it’s morning already.Making my way out of the bedroom, I went towards my phone to check if there was a call or text from Ivan but my phone was as empty as I left it.There was nothing from him. My heart was pounding so fast, my hands were shaking and I was shivering as fear engulfed me.Ivan would never go a whole night without checking up on me even if he’s angry with me ever since we worked things out.I was going crazy with fear and thoughts started running through my mind, thoughts that felt real and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop it.What if something bad had happened to Ivan?Crying, I called his number again in hopes that there would be better luck this time and if there’s none I had already made up my mind to
Ivan’s POVMy head hurts because when I opened my eyes I was staring directly into a bright light and I also seemed to be moving but I wasn’t walking.What is going on? Where am I and how did I get here?Questions flooded my mind and I tried to stand but I was too weak and not a single bone in my body moved as I attempted to stand.I soon got to know that I was in a hospital when I heard the loud siren of the ambulance and I also saw men and women wearing scrubs.My vision was a little bit blurry at first but soon it started getting clearer than when I first opened my eyes and I started making sense of the faces around me.Groaning, I tried to remember what might’ve happened for me to have ended up in a hospital but nothing came. I got nothing and everything was just a blur.All that I seemed to remember was the fact that I was in my car, I was driving home and I seemed really eager and excited to get home but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t remember what was getting me so excit
WARNING: This will be in Celine’s POV for more and a better understanding of what’s going through her head.———————————————Celine’s POVIt was shocking to hear Ivan ask about who Lexi is considering how much he loves her and just some days ago he had scolded me because of her.Smirking, I stole a glance at Charlotte who gave me a knowing stare. It feels like a dream come true because now with him forgetting about Lexi, it will be really easy to control him.To have him just at the tip of my fingers because according to him I’m the important one and he’ll do anything I say.“Who is Lexi and is she someone I know?” Ivan asked again, the shock on everyone’s face grew deeper.“And why does she have to be here?” He asked again, his voice putting a halt to all of my thoughts and causing relief like an ocean to wash through me.I’ve been waiting for a moment like this all of my life and I didn’t even have to do anything for the moment to just come to me.“Are you serious or you’re just fuck
Lexi’s POV“The deal is off, you can’t keep asking me to calm down when your big plan is to make me stay indoors without doing anything!” I yelled, turning the plate of food Camille had served me over.My anger piqued and nothing I did to calm myself down was working. I felt irritable, I’ve been going in and out of the bathroom vomiting because I’m carrying a child and I still haven’t heard a word from my husband but Camille wouldn’t stop asking me to just wait.Wait for a miracle that doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon. I feel stressed, I feel too tired to do anything but not too tired to find out the whereabouts of my husband.“What kind of a mother does it make me knowing that the father of my child has been MIA for a full day now and probably in danger but I’m not doing anything about it?” I asked in a yell.I looked down at my belly and although it’s not really big yet, it looked like I ate too much food when I haven’t even eaten anything yet.I’d thought that Ivan was goi
Lexi’s POVI drove to the hospital as fast as I could and I felt like a mentally deranged woman as questions about Ivan and everyone around him came flooding at me.What was I going to say was my excuse for not being there for him a full day?How could I still claim to love him without making full enquiries about what had happened for him not to check up on me?Chewing my nails, I let the tears that I’ve been holding back trickle down my eyes as I continued driving.My vision had become blurry and everything around me felt faint, my head felt really light and I felt like I was going to pass out but I held myself back.Getting to the hospital, I stepped out of the car to see Ansel and Reece outside the building and before I could think, I ran into their arms.“Where is he?” I enquired but they only stared at each other before staring back at me, “I… I’m… I’m sorry, I had no idea and…” I was trying to explain myself but I knew that they might not believe me so I went to search the car f
Lexi’s POVWhat? He did not just ask me who I am?Pulling away from him, I couldn’t believe my ears and at first I wanted to think that he was joking but he had his serious expression on.“Ivan?” I called and he averted his gaze from his mother to meet mine, “you’re joking.” I laughed nervously.I wanted to get closer to him but he pulled away from me, his gaze fixed on mine questionably. I looked back at Celine and Charlotte and they only smirked at me.Something doesn’t feel right and I should’ve known that even Celine agreed to let me come see him.I couldn’t believe that a big part of me was grateful to her for letting me come in here only for it to be followed by a huge disgrace.I could see the disdain and the pure hate in her eyes as Charlotte approached me. I opened my mouth to talk but words failed me.I couldn’t get anything out of my mouth as I watched Celine and Charlotte make their way to Ivan’s side.“Do I know her?” Ivan’s voice put a halt to my thoughts and I turned my
Lexi’s POVThe sound of the knock on my car window jolted me out of my thoughts and I lifted my head from the steering wheel to check who it was.Groaning, I prayed that I wouldn’t be getting a ticket and for the first time in my life something I prayed for actually happened, except I didn’t quite want to see the face that was outside my window.“Roll the window down.” Camille mouthed to me but I only rolled my eyes.What was she doing here when she was the one who ruined all of my chances with Ivan?Turning my head back to look at her, her eyes pleaded for me to just roll down my car window and listen to what she has to say but I was too mad to do that.I was too angry to listen to her talk because if I actually did roll my window down and start hearing my best friend talk, I might have to spend the rest of my life in jail because I wouldn’t be able to hold myself back.Igniting the car engine with my eyes still fixed on Camille, I placed my hand on the gear and before she could blin
