Mirabel stood in front of the smart TV in the VVIP ward she was admitted to, watching the news with content, she huffed and scoffed. "Well done, Mirabel! There is no better way to teach her a lesson!" She complimented and patted herself on the head. She switched the TV off with the remote controller in her hand and walked back to her bed. She brought out a mirror from her bag and checked her wounded neck with it.She had gone home after leaving Dillon's house with his mother the previous day, however, it was with another plan on her mind. She wanted to implicate Ivy and make the citizens hate her. She got home and picked a new blade from her set of tools and scraped her neck with it.Thankfully, she already put a call to the estate security because she definitely didn't want to die while doing that. The security man came in at the right time and met her in the pool of her blood and she was rushed to the hospital.Mirabel invited the reporters the next day and accused Ivy of snatch
Dillon didn't make any sound at her statement. He walked to his closet and came out almost immediately with a pack of cigarettes. He lit one cigarette up and had three puffs. He sat on the only couch in the bedroom.Ivy was getting exasperated that he was mute to what she said. Didn't her statement deserve a response? "I said I want a divorce," She repeated audibly. Dillon threw the already-lit cigarette in his hand into a waste bin. He stood and was going to the bathroom when Ivy held his arm, stopping him from moving. Dillon halted and looked at her hands on his arm. His tensed bones became relieved. "You can't go in there until you give me a befitting response," She uttered, deepening her eyes into his.Dillon opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, but he discontinued and flashed his white teeth at her. His smile was captivating and charming. Ivy forgot she wanted to divorce for a few seconds and smiled back at him.Dillon moved his mouth closer to her ear and
Dillon drove back to his villa at midnight. He walked straight into his bedroom. He found the two sisters hugging each other while they slept peacefully. He didn't want to disturb their sleep, he helped them lower the lamp brightness and left the room.*. *. * The next day.Ivy was surprised to still find Dillon in the house. It was already past 10 in the morning and he was in the sitting room, playing with his phone.Kayla, who just stepped out of the kitchen with a tray of meals revealed a wide smile at her. "I was just about to bring your breakfast,"She carefully placed the tray on the dining table, went closer to her, and pushed her gently to the dining room.She wanted to object but Kayla wasn't giving her the chance.She gave up and ate silently.She would look in Dillon's direction at every bite she took. "How can a perfect man like him be interested in a classless girl like me? He is handsome. He looks like a mini-god! Can he really be in love with me? Oh No! What are
Ryan and Evelyn were standing in front of her, holding hands and their faces lit with smiles. Ivy sneered inwardly and dug nails into her palm. She wasn't ready to meet them. She hadn't healed from the pains they had caused her and facing them right now wasn't going to end well for her. "Long time, no see, my friend," Evelyn muttered sarcastically. She was surprised to meet her in an exquisite place like the G&H complex. It was made for wealthy people and she was also there because of her husband, Ryan.Ryan is well-known and one of the well-paid actors, but his net worth wasn't worth a drop of Dillon's wealth.With scrutiny, she eyed the duo and remained silent. Her silence aggravated Evelyn's spite and she vowed to disgrace her.She removed her hand from Ryan's and walked closer to the receptionist. She uttered loudly, "Hope you aren't here to steal the way you did the last time we met,"The accusation stunned Ivy, she widened her eyes and shouted, "What!"Evelyn chuckled and ele
As time halted for the duo, they stared at each other for a long time, unblinkingly. Angelina was bored of looking at the lovebirds, she clapped her hands, jerking them out of the lalala mood. "Okay! Enough of the eyes contest. How is my new design?" She asked, beaming and revealing the shape of her cheekbones. "Er... I... She... Nice... Nice!" He awkwardly replied. Angelina hissed and hit the back of his head. "Idiot! You are still as dry as ever. I wonder how she fell in love with you,"Dillon touched the back of his head and glared at her. Angelina shone her teeth and stuck her tongue out.Ivy chuckled silently, the two pals seemed like teens. And Angelina? She knows how to force words out of Dillon's mouth.Ivy inspected herself in the full-length mirror in the workshop. For a second, she didn't believe she was the one in the mirror. Everyone is Cinderella, we only need a princess dress and a prince like Dillon. The dress revealed her hourglass shape. No wonder Dillon
Ivy Hughes The way the force pushed me to the ground, it was easy to detect the bumping was intentional. I was irritated. I quickly got up with gritted teeth, ready to blast whosoever was the perpetrator. "Are you.....," I spoke up but was cut short by Mirabel's voice. "Awww, Darling. I am so sorry. I didn't see you coming,"She said smilingly. I sneered inwardly and shook my head. "Then you must be blind,"My response got her all worked up and she dashed toward me. I didn't flinch. "Repeat that and I will show you what I am made of," She threatened, pointing a finger at me and poking my nose. I chuckled and clapped. "Let me see you try,"She must think I am some weak girl because I have been quiet. I didn't say anything because I was feeling bad for her, I thought I ruined her relationship because I got married to Dillon. But it wasn't as I thought. Dillon never valued her.She lifted her hand to hit my face, however, I grasped her hand, preventing her from slapping m
Dillon Long She wasn't done washing up when I stepped into her bedroom for the umpteenth moment. I found it wary and banged on the bathroom door several times but there was no response. I yelled her name, yet, there wasn't any sound.Instantly, my body turned cold and I didn't need to be told that Ivy was in trouble. I struggled to open the door. It was futile.Without thinking, I kicked the door open. As soon as I strolled in, I saw her lying lifeless under the bathtub. My steps halted and I took a step back out of shock. It took me a bit before I could finally regain my senses. "Ivy!" I weakly called, rushed to where she was lying, and took her out of the bathtub.Her skin had turned pale and whitish and her body had become cold. My heart tightened at the possibility that I might lose her. I rushed downstairs, hopped into the car, and drove off like a crazy man. I didn't obey any of the traffic rules and I don't mind paying a huge sum for the penalty. The only thing I couldn'
Narrator After a few weeks Ivy was discharged from the hospital and was already hale enough to resume production. Despite her disapproval, Dillon insisted that Ezekiel take her to the location. She stopped Ezekiel at the nearest bus stop to the location and got out of the car.Ezekiel gave her a questioning look. "I don't want to intimidate others with this expensive car," She chuckled slyly. Ezekiel could only nod and he drove off.Ivy heaved, adjusted her dress, and walked to the location.She came earlier this time around and the new director was already expecting her. The director's face lit up as soon as she saw her and rushed towards her. "Welcome, Madam," The director meekly greeted. The attitude made Ivy awkward and she humbly requested, "Please, behave like you don't know my relationship with President Dillon,"She grinned sheepishly.The director nodded and agreed with her. The director clapped her hands and ordered the first scene to begin.Just as they were a
"I have been poisoning Ivy since she stepped into the house and today is the poison's effective day," Mrs. Long revealed, stunning everyone in the room. "What!" Everyone exclaimed, even Mirabel. She was aware of how vicious she was but had never thought she could go this extreme.Mrs. Long burst into a peal of wicked laughter, clapping her hands. It will be so stupid of you to think I will go down alone. "Hospital! Take Ivy to the hospital now," Kayla shouted.The moment she shouted, Ivy lost consciousness and sprawled on the cold floor. "Wow!!! Just as predicted," Mrs. Long said, rolling her eyes in a lackadaisical manner. She brought out a gum from her pocket and chewed it loudly.Dillon couldn't believe his eyes. He stormed toward Mrs. Long and slapped her so hard. Afterward, he grabbed her cloth and dragged her up with it. "I will make sure you die a sorrowful death if anything happens to Ivy," He threatened, boiling with fury. Mrs. Long chuckled and muttered fearle
"I am voting against them," A voice interrupted the meeting.Everyone tilted their head toward the entrance. The sounds of footsteps were the only thing they heard before they finally saw his face. It was Dillon.Mirabel and Dillon's mother almost fainted when they saw him. He didn't look like the man they'd been inflicting suffering on. He was wearing a green tuxedo and black Italian shoes. All the shareholders, except Mirabel and Dillon's mother all stood up and bowed respectfully and humbly. "Good morning, President Dillon!" Dillon gestured to them to sit, smilingly and he also took his seat.He fixed his eyes on Mirabel and his mother, who were unable to look at him. They lowered their heads in shame and disgust. "Did I miss anything apart from the voting?" He asked, flashing a cute smile. "No, sir," "Alright, in the absence of nothing. The meeting will be adjourned. Thank you for taking the time to come here today. Please grab something on your way out," He said as
Kayla was just lulling her baby to sleep when an incoming call came in. She picked it up at the third ring. "Hello!" She spoke up. "Your voice didn't change," Ivy said at the other end, smiling. "Please who....," Kayla halted when she finally recognized the voice. She glanced at her phone screen and returned it to her ear. "Ivy!" She called, hoping it was really her sister. "You should learn to put some respect next time, Kayla. I am still your...,"Kayla hung up angrily before she could complete her statement.She flung her phone to the bed and sat on it, breathing uneasily.Tears welled up in her eyes. Ivy's call came in again almost immediately. "Where are you?" Kayla asked as soon as she picked it up. "Hmm! Dillon's mansion," She answered and before you could add another statement, Kayla hung up.*. *. *Kayla jumped on Ivy when she got to Dillon's house. The sisters cried together for a long time until they were calm. Afterward, Ivy explained everything that happened and
"Ladies and gentlemen, Empire Airline welcomes you to New York. The local time is 11 am. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle clear until we are parked at the gate," The flight attendants announced, and slowly the airplane landed.It wasn't easy for Ivy to get out of the plane with her triplets but with the help of a stranger who volunteered to help her push one of the babies' trolleys, she was able to get out of the airport.She stood outside the airport, shut her eyes, and inhaled the cold and fresh air. "Time flies but nothing has changed. New York is just the same as she had left. The only thing that changed was her, she left with nothing but came back with three beautiful kids," She chortled, satisfied by her kind of growth. She glanced at her babies one after another before stopping a cab.It took a while to put the kids into the cab and then fold their trolleys into the cab's van. Surprising
"Evelyn! Please bring Barley here," Ivy shouted from the living room.It's been 6 months since she gave birth to her babies. They were two girls and a boy, so they were named Barley, Kylie, and Hayley. "Okay, Ivy. I want to put Kylie and Hayley to bed first," Evelyn shouted from the bedroom. "Okay! Okay!! Be fast with it. The drama is about to be aired and it would be bad if you miss the final episodes," Evelyn walked out of the bedroom with Barley in her hands. She sat beside Ivy and gently gave him to her. "This boy keeps looking like his father as each day passes," Evelyn said.Ivy nodded in agreement and forced out a smile. Evelyn could see the sadness in her eyes at the mention of Dillon.She knew how much she missed him and longed for him.She wrapped her arm around her shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile. "Things will fall in place soon,"The noon news aired as soon as Evelyn made the statement. "The popular Dillon Long, the richest and most powerful man in Ne
New York Daniel scrutinized his friend, although he discovered some changes, he didn't say anything.He threw a bright smile at him. "Hey! Brother. Finally, you decided to come to see me," Daniel happily let out, hugging him tightly. "Hmm! My bad! You know how hectic our work can be," Dillon lied. "Work??? But you weren't at the company. It's almost a year since you last went to the company," Daniel muttered. He intentionally mentioned that so that he could monitor Mirabel's reaction. His eyes were fixed on her while he was making that statement. As expected, she frowned at the statement but she was quick to cover it up with her sly smile.Daniel scoffed inwardly. "Let's see how well you can play this game," He mentally mumbled. "Ah! I was working from home. The people at work already know what to do," Dillon tried to cover up.Seeing how his friend was lying to cover Mirabel's misdeed, Daniel stopped pestering him.The friends went out to continue their discussion while Kayl
8 months later.AustraliaThe sun shone brightly in the sky. The atmosphere was cool, unlike other days when everyone has to put on cardigans.Ivy was 9 months gone and her EDD (expected date of delivery) was the following week and she couldn't stop smiling.Finally! She would be meeting her bundle of joy after so many months of loneliness. She would have someone to talk to when bored and someone to complain to whenever she's fatigued.She sat by the window, glancing at the wonderful work of creation.She glanced at her belly which was now protruding and her lips curled into a wide smile.However, the smile froze when she saw Evelyn and Ryan coming out of their apartment.They also halted when their eyes met.Evelyn threw her deadly glare, hissed, and marched past.Ivy was not bothered by their hateful behavior. Instead, she was anticipating her delivery day. She can't wait to meet her beautiful princess. Yes, the scan confirmed she was carrying a baby girl.Nevertheless, to her surpr
MJ's eyes were almost removed from the socket when he saw Dillon. He was dressed casually and looked pale. "Boss!?" He called, more like a question. Dillon patted his shoulders twice and smiled. "Welcome back to New York, Johnson. I have been anticipating this day. I knew this day would come," Dillon happily let out. "Boss!" MJ called again, speechless. He was finding no right words. "Thank God you didn't kill my friend. It would have been a different story," Dillon continued, ignoring the puzzled look on his face.MJ only nodded. Just when he was about to say something. Dillon walked to the door. "I can't stay long here. My wife will be angry. Let's meet later," Saying this, he left the room.He was already gone when MJ regained his senses and by the time he could chase after him, he couldn't find him. Dillon left without any traces. MJ went back to his room frustrated. He pushed the wall and yelled.He has been looking for his favorite boss since he came back to New Y
New York.The van that was conveying Daniel stopped in front of a dilapidated building. His trusted men jumped out of the van and quickly opened the door, helping the already tired Kayla out.Kayla's brow twitched when she saw the building. She looked around and turned toward Daniel's right-hand man, Iron who had beaten himself ten thousand times inwardly. Without Kayla saying anything, he knew she was about to ask him a question. He bowed respectfully and explained, "MJ is one of his greatest enemies and might still come to harm him if we take him to a popular hospital,"Even if she wanted to retort, she had no choice but to agree with them. She nodded as a signal for them to take him in.She followed suit. To her greatest surprise, the building only looked dilapidated outside, it was neat and new when they walked into the hospital.A group of doctors came to receive them as soon as they stepped in. "We will take him from here. Please wait here," The head doctor informed, puttin
