"Pearl, I'll tell you everything later," I tried to calm her first, however Jessica isn't ready to believe me, "You must be bluffing, grandpa would never say that, you're joking, aren't you?"

I shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant, despite holding back a turmoil of emotions in my heart, "If you can't believe me, why don't you ask Grandpa by yourself? None are stopping you, right?"

Jessica clenched her fist glaring at me. "That’s impossible, I'll not believe you, he would never...."

"Oh, but he did," I cut in smoothly, keeping the hair that disturbing on my face, behind my ear, "One more thing, if you think that I'll just sit back and let you people manipulate me into giving up my hardwork, you’re sorely mistaken, those foolish days were gone."

Sarah looked furious at me, "Ivory, do you think you can just run away like this?"

Bernard’s face twisted in anger as expected, but before they could say anything, I stood up.

"Now, what I'm trying to say is...." I said, brushing i

    ∆ALEXANDER∆"Beep... Beep...." I leaned back in the car seat looking into the laptop, just then my phone buzzed in my hand. Eric’s name appeared on the screen, it looks like he is calling me after checking out my message, I picked it up, and before I could even say a word, his amused voice filled my ears."Did she say that for real?" Eric asked, sounding both surprised and entertained by what I've sent through the message.I smirked, recalling Ivory’s words from a few moments back. "Yes, she said it’s something good, I don’t know what she’s going to say, but I've a positive feeling, thanks to that I'm waiting for her to come out and speak to me." Eric chuckled as expected the excitement in his voice didn't reduce even for a minute. "That’s great then, I’ll be waiting to hear the good news from you, Alex." I shook my head, silently waiting for Ivory to come out, "I’m also waiting.""Don’t worry, I’ll be there in a few days. Let’s celebrate together," he added, with sincerity in his

Pearl stomped her foot against the floor wantedly to grab the attention of Ivory, but Ivory didn't respond, the forks and spoons falling down one by one, yet Ivory didn't even turn around.Looking at Ivory's unbothered nature, Pearl's frustration increased.The air in the room was heavy with tension and frustration, but neither Pearl nor Ivory was the type to sit in silence and sulk.Giving up on silent war, Pearl walked to Ivory and stood with her hands on her hips, the annoyance in her face is quite evident, "Do you even know what you're doing?" She shouted, glaring at Ivory, who was sitting on the couch, flipping through a stack of papers.Ivory let out a dramatic sigh, not even bothering to look up. "I'm working, can’t you see that? Do you want me to take you for an eye checkup or what?"Pearl rolled her eyes so hard that Ivory was sure they almost disappeared into the back of her head. "Ivory, do you think I’m joking?"Ivory finally glanced up, wit

    ∆NO POV∆"I'm here for you," Eric stood at the doorstep, his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his coat. Ivory folded her arms, "For me? For what?" His gaze shifted between Ivory and Pearl, and his face holding an usual smirk just like always, "First of all, can I come in, or do I have to stand here and freeze to death?"Pearl swallowed hard, feeling a sudden tension in the air because of Eric and Ivory staring at eachother with no words."Please come in," she said, stepping aside to let him in.Ivory, sitting on the couch with her arms crossed, raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Eric, I have no idea why you're at my house, but how did you even find out where I live?"Eric let out a low chuckle as he stepped inside, looking around. "Is your house hidden in the middle of a forest and cloaked with witches’ magic or something? Because when I checked, it was quite easy to find, am I wrong or am I a wizard?" Pearl rolled her eyes rubbing her temples, "Great, another person with a sarcastic

Alexander gritted his teeth, as if he mouthed something, the tension in the room thickened, a palpable wave of unease washing over them, as both Eric and Alexander were exchanging glances with furiousness.Ivory’s heart raced looking at the tension filled room, she could feel the heat rising in Alexander’s cheeks, his protective instincts are quite evident."He must be jealous that Eric is holding someone's hand other than him," she thought to herself with a small smirk dancing on her lips despite the situation, "No wonder he looked so furious!" Alexander turned to her, his expression softened slightly as soon as his eyes met her, but the frustration remained the same. "What are you both speaking about?""Nothing," Ivory replied quickly, her voice light but la

    ∆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.

    ∆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

    ∆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

    ∆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

    ∆IVORY∆"Are you sure?" Grandpa asked in a disbelief voice, I nodded my head with great difficulty."I'm so happy dear, thank you so much for listening to my request, wait till I get discharged, I'll announce your wedding date infront of everyone." I forced a small smile as Grandpa spoke, but my heart was twisting in pain at his words.His voice was gentle, affectionate too, but the weight of his words crushed me and my heart without any mercy. I clenched my fists tight enough to let my nails dig into my palms, so that I can keep my emotions in control before they burst out."Breathe, Ivory, just breathe," I tried to calm myself as all these overwhelming emotions made me to forget even taking a breath.Holding back everything within me, I spoke as steadily as I could. "You can't stress anymore, please take rest, I'll be leaving now, Grandpa." Without waiting for his response, I stood up from the chair, turned around and walked out of the room. My body moved like a lifeless shell, bu

    ∆IVORY∆"Don't tell me you already started thinking about it, are you?" Pearl wriggled her eyebrows, as she teased me, using a gentle smack with a pillow bringing me out of my thoughts."Ugh, shut up," I groaned, turning over, and buried my face in the soft sheets beneath me, I'm already tired no more strength to fight or argue, can't even think of anything more.Pearl giggled, but I ignored her and closed my eyes as I'm already tired like hell, just as I closed my eyes, sleep is already waiting for me, and instantly, i was dragged into a comforting wave of sleep.I don't even know how long I was asleep, but when I woke up, the first thing I saw was Pearl happily munching on a snack sitting straight in front of me. "What are you eating?" I asked groggily, rubbing my eyes, as I still couldn't come out of my sleepiness."Shrimp san..sandwich," she replied between bites, looking way too involved in killing the shrimp that's already dead in the sandwich, "Tastes so good, do you want so

    ∆NO POV∆"Did you forget?" Ivory rolled her eyes, "That day in the bar, thanks to you dragging me there to cry after my break-up, I found this man in my drunken state." As always, Pearl put on a dramatic expression, "Girl, you've to be grateful to me, throughout your life, you should be thanking me for taking you to that bar, especially that night, where you and he met, thanks to that you're enjoying, along with you, I'm also enjoying." Alexander looked confused after watching both Pearl and Ivory standing right there and not coming inside, "Aren't you both going to come inside?" "Yeah, we are coming," Ivory replied, pulling Pearl along with her to go inside, Alexander shaking his head let them inside, "Young girls are pretty hard to understand!" Those words he suppressed within himself, walking in, Pearl leaned closer to whisper in Ivory's ear, "He is pretty loaded, such a rich man like the big boss in those novels!" Ivory grinned at Pearl's words. "I already knew that.""But th

    ∆NO POV∆"We will reach in no time," Alexander said with a gentle smile, as they're preparing to leave.Eric stopped Ivory, and handed her a small box, "A small token of gift from me!" "No," Ivory refused giving it back to him, "I can't accept anything given by you." Eric pinched her cheeks gently, "Ivory, you can stop hating me, as I said I'll not be coming in between you and him, he is all yours, why hating such an innocent man like me?" "Stop it," she brushed off his hand away, Eric just chuckled, Alexander came in at the same time, "Are you teasing her again?" Eric shook his head with a fake pain, "I didn't, I'm giving a gift with a kind heart, but she refused to accept my kindness." "This man? What exactly is he doing?" Ivory thought to herself, "Is he sowing misunderstandings in between me and Alexander? Just like in those TV shows, white lotus bitches act all innocent in front of the big boss, only to make the female lead suffer, is he doing the same?" Alexander smacked o
