Ivory Collins had spent seven years as fiancee of Jacob Rodriguez, yet never received any love from him. It was not until her sister, the real daughter of her adoptive parents showed up, and was immediately loved by everyone including her fiance, that's when she realized her entire life had been a complete joke. Determined to not to live like a shadow of her sister, she broke up with him. To overcome the pain in her heart, she hit the bar and accidentally caught the attention of a mysterious man. That man turned out to be not only the most powerful man in the city but also her ex-fiance's uncle! "Mr. Alexander Rodriguez, can I know what's your intentions towards me?" Ivory raised her eyebrow with a questioning look. Alexander pulled her into his protective arms. "Very simple, I've an offer for you, how about becoming the aunt of those two cheaters?" Ivory was surprised by his offer. She had to admit, the idea of being an aunt was rather tempting!

Chapter 1

YOU'RE EXHAUSTING ME!

∆IVORY∆

"Miss, is there anyone here to accompany you?" The voice of the nurse broke my chain of thoughts, pulling me back to reality, I lifted my head to look at her, forcing a faint smile to hide the bitterness in my chest. 

"No, I came alone," I replied softly, with my voice being barely above a whisper, as I sat there in silence, with the IV drip in my hand the only thing keeping me from collapsing entirely, though my body felt weak, while my heart is more weaker being alone at times likes this.

She frowned, with a concerned face. "You're too weak to leave alone, please call someone to take you home." 

I nodded, though deep down, I already knew who I would call. As the nurse walked away, I reached for my phone, my fingers trembling slightly, and I dialed Jacob’s number, I clung to the hope that he’d answer, that maybe, for once, he’d be there when I needed him. 

The call rang once, then twice before it abruptly ended. A message popped up on my screen, "I’m busy, don’t disturb me."

I stared at the screen for what felt like an eternity, his words already pierced my heart, he was busy. Busy doing what? Busy being too far away to care, that’s what. 

The smell of medicine filled the hospital room, the climates felt more colder than it actually was.

I opened my mobile to scroll through social media, needing a distraction from the pain weighing inside me, only to be shattered after witnessing something I shouldn't, the pain in my heart deepened as I stared at the image infront of me.

There it was, a photo posted by my adoptive mother. 

"Reunion so blissful!"

The caption blurred as my eyes focused on the image. Jacob, my Jacob, stood with his arms wrapped around Jessica, the biological daughter of my adopted parents who was found recently and brought back to him.

I can see him smiling so happily, his eyes warm, the same way I always craved for him to be with me, but instead, he is being in such a gentle way with her, she leaned into him, her head on his shoulder, looking perfectly at ease, as if they're a couple. 

I couldn’t breathe, and it's more suffocating.

He had said he was too busy to come to the hospital, though I told multiple times I'm sick and needed to visit the hospital. Too busy to even care about me though I was sick and all alone. Yet here he was, embracing her like she was the center of his world, then what am I? A fool?

I closed the app, clutching my phone tightly as tears blurred my vision, 'Why? Why wasn’t I enough for him? Seven years of love, still why is he like this with me? Indifferent and cold'

Once it ended, pushing my weak body out of the hospital, I walked out, and hired a cab to reach home as soon as possible.

When I got home, I was met with the slam of the front door. Jacob was already there, his presence as overbearing as ever. 

"Why isn’t my luggage prepared?" He demanded, with a sharp and impatient tone, "I told you, I need to go on a business trip tonight, didn't I ask you to pack my luggage? Where exactly did you go without doing what I told you?"

I stared at him in disbelief, the one who should be angry and the one who should react right now is me, but instead of me, he is the one who is acting all furious and fierce.

"I was at the hospital, I told you I wasn’t feeling well," I informed him.

He sighed turning his face away from me, as if my very existence was an inconvenience to him. "Always an excuse with you, I don't understand when you'll be tired of lying again and again."

As he shrugged off his suit jacket and threw it onto the couch, something shiny caught my eye.

My heart sank as I picked up a delicate earring, definitely not mine, since neither he nor my adopted family ever brought something expensive for me, but it fell from his pocket. Beside it, the edge of an open condom box peeked out. 

My head spun while my stomach felt twisted at the sight in front of me. 

"What is this?" I asked, holding up the earring. My voice was calm, too calm, the kind of calm that came before a storm. 

He glanced at me briefly before looking away, totally unbothered, "it's an earring."

"Do you think I'm blind or a fool, Jacob?" Holding his arm, I pulled him to face me, "I'm asking you, how did the earring of another woman come into your jacket?"

He was calm, I sneered with a sarcastic laugh, "so, this belongs to Jessica, right?"

"So what?"

I was surprised by his response, "so what? Are you truly asking that? I was in hospital, all alone without anyone to accompany me, whereas you were so busy with my sister, and my mother posting it in her account, what's all these?"

"Can you stop being dramatic?" He pushed my hand aside dusting off his arm where I touched till now, "I had a meeting with a business client and ran into your sister coincidentally. It’s been a long time since I met your parents, so we talked, and your parents took a photo; it’s something so simple. You’re making a scene over nothing." 

"Simple?" I repeated, with a raise in my voice. "You expect me to believe this is nothing? That photo, this earring, and the box of condoms, how much am I supposed to ignore, Jacob?" 

With an angry look, he threw the flower vase on the floor breaking it into pieces, and his cold eyes met mine, whereas his words cut deeper than any weapon ever could. "You’re going to be my wife, Ivory. Isn’t that what you wanted? All this drama and act, for what? To impress me or to show that you love me? I'm already tired of it, so stop this drama for my attention, as I promised, I'm going to marry you, here after I don't want to hear anymore. You’re exhausting me!" 

I froze in the same spot, but he left as if nothing happened.

This was the man I had spent years with. The man I had trusted with my heart, only for him to treat me like I'm nothing, the pain in my chest felt like it would swallow me whole, but I refused to cry in front of him, as I'm scared that he might call me dramatic once again.

I bent down to remove the shattered pierces of vase, my finger got cut and bled, "ouch!"

Still I've none to care about me, so rather than wasting my time on shredding tears, I completed the work, just as I finished cleaning, my phone buzzed with a message from my best friend. 

"There’s a get-together with all our old friends from school, aren’t you coming?"

People who adopt kids only to maltreat them…trash. They’re scumbags who should never exist. I’m really interested to see how Ivory’s collaboration with Alexander would turn out. I hope she wipes the floor with Jacob’s face

Now that's a second chance smiling at Ivory. Who had taught the strange man she met was her ex-uncle? Alexander is Ivory's lucky charm for revenge.

Revenge using a family member will always be my favourite. I’m rooting for Ivory to make Jacob regret not choosing her.

WHAT IF I'M?
∆IVORY∆"I’ll think about it," I texted back, though I didn’t want to go. The last thing I needed was to see more people who probably pitied me. But deep inside, I felt that maybe going out to do something, anything, to take my mind off the growing void in my chest.Sitting on my bed, I looked out the window, only to see a dark sky with nothing, just like my current life.Tears threatened to spill, but I swallowed them back. I had cried enough for Jacob, enough for the family who never truly saw me.I shut my eyes closely to sleep, despite knowing it's hard to sleep, the soft sunrays on my face woke me up, stretching my arms, I woke up and walked out of my room only to see the entire house filled with silence.That made me realise Jacob has left for a business trip without even a single word, I’d been trying to convince myself it was just a rough patch. Maybe he needed time and space. But no matter how many excuses I made for him, the void in my chest can't be filled. My bestfriend

A NICKNAME
∆IVORY∆"Then let’s mingle," I said, crashing my lips onto his before he could say another word, I can feel him stiffened for a minute, probably shocked out of his mind, once he got into it, he didn't waste a minute to deepen the kiss, turning if from a peck to passionate one, making my legs wobble.Gently breaking the kiss, he placed his hands on my shoulders. "You," he said, with a smooth and amused tone, "You’re drunk." "You? Do I look like a thing to you?" I scoffed, pushing him back with an irritated look, as the way he called me, 'you' reminded me of the memories of how Jacob used to refer to me, instead of using my name, "Call me Ivory, or better yet, call me the woman who’s about to forget all about a certain jerk named Jacob, don't I appear like a human with a name?" He chuckled, with a low yet sexy tone, "Ivory, sounds interesting, well, I don’t know what jerk did to you, but he must’ve been an idiot to let go of someone like you." "Exactly!" Pearl shouted from behind

TOO SHAMELESS
∆IVORY∆"You ungrateful bitch!" My mother's voice followed me as I walked away closing the door with a loud thud.I didn’t turn back, no matter how hard she shouted. I couldn’t either, if I did, I knew I might break, and I refused to give them the satisfaction of seeing me crumble. For a moment, I stood in the empty streets, staring ahead with a blank face, clutching the straps of my bag tightly, I'm controlling myself not to be weak enough to end up in tears.I wasn’t just walking out of their house, I was walking out of their lives, their control, and all the heartbreak they had caused me over years.I went to the flat of Jacob and mine, but it had always been more mine than his. He didn’t like living with me, always finding excuses to stay in his own place. "I’ll come back tomorrow," that's all he said from the day I graduated and moved to live with him, but that tomorrow never seemed to arrive till now. This flat was just another reminder of the emptiness I’d felt for so long

ARE YOU WILLING OR NOT?
∆IVORY∆"Is this how we always meet eachother?" He whispered in my ear, I stood frozen, as I'm still unable to come out of the shock."How come…?" I finally managed to mutter, of all people to show up here, why is this man?The same man I had kissed in a drunken state at that bar weeks ago, and now he was standing in front of me, smirking like he owned the world, I totally forgot about that embarrassing incident thanks to my family, and my efforts to find a job.Noticing my silence, he leaned closer, "Don’t tell me you’re pretending not to recognize me, Ms. Ivory." Heat flooded my cheeks as I instinctively took a step back, keeping the distance in between us, but his teasing smirk only deepened looking at my embarrassed state.Before I could respond, Jessica’s friend sneered, "Shameless woman, always ready to seduce men, someone like you deserves to be taught a lesson."She grabbed a glass of drink from the table and raised it toward me. I almost expected the drink to be spoiled on

ARE YOU SERIOUS?
∆IVORY∆"What kind of work are you talking about?" I knew it was a stupid question yet, I asked, as I looked at him, all I could see was his playful smirk, "What kind of work do you want to do apart from working by my side in the company?" I sat stiffly in the car listening to him, his words truly left me embarrassed."I guess you’re talking about a role in your company?” I had said, trying to keep my voice steady hiding the awkwardness.Leaning slightly toward me, Alexander rested his hand on the armrest between us, and I can see his sharp gaze fixed on me, while teasing me, "If not that, what else did you think I meant?" I stammered as my cheeks turned red out of embarrassment, "Nothing!" I adjusted my hair, avoiding his intense gaze.Alexander chuckled, leaning back in the seat, "Well, Ms. Ivory, what’s your answer?" Taking a deep breath, I met his eyes with a determined look, "I'll do it, but not for revenge, just to prove my worth, I let go of the past already." He passed a s

WHAT IF HE IS RIGHT?
∆IVORY∆"Do you think I'm someone who likes to joke with a serious face?" Alexander asked while taking a sip of wine, I shook my head quickly, "I didn't mean that, I'm sorry." Placing the wine glass gently on the table, he looked at me with a steady gaze. "Apologizing too often doesn’t mean you don’t want to hurt others, it makes people assume you’re guilty. You need to change that mindset of yours. Stop thinking you have to be obedient just to earn someone’s love. If they truly care about you, they’ll love you for who you are. You don’t have to make endless sacrifices or be unconditionally obedient, for people who wouldn’t do the same for you. It’s not worth it." This man, why does he speak in a way as if he knows everything about me? Apart from a gentle hum, I couldn't respond anymore to his words.We continued having the dinner in silence, at the end of dinner, a man arrived, "Mr. Kingston, what a pleasant surprise!" "Karlo," Alexander smiled at him, it's a smile different from

WORTH LESS THAN MY NAIL POLISH
∆IVORY∆"Here is your cup of hot chocolate!" Pearl giggled placing the cup on my table, "you've been working tirelessly, don't you feel tired?" Stretching my arms, I groaned, "of course it's tiresome, but I want to give it a try." Nights turned into dawns as I worked tirelessly on my startup. The idea of stepping into the perfumery world was exhilarating yet terrifying. The perfume I had created years ago sat on my desk, mocking me with its existence. It was my first and only creation, a scent I had poured my heart into, but now, it felt inadequate. Would this simple formula stand a chance in the grand world Alexander was pulling me into?"Is this the perfume you made?" Pearl asked curiously taking one of the bottle into her hands, I nodded nervously, "yes, why don't you try it first?"Her eyes sparkled in excitement, "Really?" I hummed, she immediately sprayed the perfume on her wrist and smelled it, I noticed the change in her expression, and panic rose in me, "is it that bad?

DID I FINALLY MAKE IT?
∆IVORY∆"You," The moment Jessica’s hand made its way toward me, I flinched, expecting a harsh slap to touch my cheek.But her hand didn't touch my cheek, instead, Alexander caught her wrist mid-air, with a firm grip."What are you doing? Leave my hand," Jessica shouted at Alexander, I also tried to stop him, but his glare at her is stern. "You’ve no right to behave like this with her," he said with a calm yet authority filled tone. "Apologize to her right now." He let go of her hand harshly, rubbing her wrist where Alexander held, Jessica’s face twisted with anger. "I won’t! Why should I apologize to someone as pathetic as her?" I couldn't help but to feel bad because of her words, the humiliation I always go through because of her words is too painful, but before I could respond, Alexander scoffed, with a sharp expression. "I never expected the Collins family to raise such an uneducated and unethical daughter like you. Is this how you behave in public?" I reached out to him,

THEY'LL REGRET UNDERESTIMATING HER
∆NO POV∆"Thud!" The Collins household was in chaos for the past few days.Sarah Collins, mother of Jessica paced in the living room, her hands curled into fist as she threw the TV remote on the couch, "every news channel, social media, even magazines and newspapers are talking about that stupid perfume! What on earth is happening here?" The sound of glass shattering echoed from upstairs, making her wince."Baby, stop breaking things!" Sarah shouted gently, though she made no real effort to go upstairs and confront her daughter. Instead, she turned to her husband, Bernard, who is seated on the couch with a frown on his face."I still can’t believe that girl," Sarah sighed, shaking her head in disbelief. "Ivory, of all people! Who would’ve thought she would get this far with something as ridiculous as making perfume? I scolded her for hating that odd habit in the past, but now people are actually buying it, she is gaining fame and profit over that stupid hobby of hers!" "Ungrateful
