IvySomewhere in Paris.Diane's father, Edward, tossed his phone to her. She grabbed it before it could hit her. She lifted her face and had a questioning look on. "What crime have you committed now? How dare you, Diane? How can you mess with Dillon Long of all people?" Her father barked. The woman who messed with Dillon at the restaurant was Diane, the only daughter of one of the prestigious families in Paris. Edward woke up to the news that his company's shares had begun to plummet. After a thorough investigation, he found out Dillon was behind it all.Of course, he knew who Dillon was. I mean, who didn't know Dillon Long? He was aware he hadn't trespassed on Dillon's territory and if he hadn't done that, then he could only think of one person, which is, Diane, his only daughter. He knew about his daughter's infamous popularity of seducing rich men and messing with them. Thinking about it alone sent coldness down his spine. Diane glanced through the phone and threw the phone on
"Mum, please hear me out," Dillon humbly uttered, running after his mother into her house. She only stopped when she got to the entrance of her room. With folded arms, she looked at him, indifferently. "What do you want? I thought you chose to defy me because of that filthy girl," She angrily said, pointing at nowhere in particular. "I will do anything you ask. Be nice to Ivy, please. She is the woman I love," He stopped briefly when he saw Mirabel stepping into the house. He continued, "If you really care about me, then you have to accept whoever I chose," "And what will happen to this innocent girl, Mirabel? You are a joker," Mirabel's countenance turned sullen when Dillon's mom mentioned her name. Seeing, there was nothing else he could do, his shoulders dropped and he headed outside. "Where do you think you are going?" He halted his footsteps when he heard his mother's voice. "Home, mum. I need to explain things to Ivy," "You are going nowhere. You have to stay here for
Ivy's eyes were fixed on the headline, unblinkingly.Sex tape leaked: BILLIONAIRE DILLON LONG HAVING A HEATED SEX WITH ACTRESS MIRABEL,"While staring at the space, her phone fell from her hand. Inwardly, different emotions surged. "No... No... No!" She shook her head and quickly picked her phone up. She went back to the news and played the video. Her eyes widened when she saw her husband, Dillon. He was pulling Mirabel to the bed even though she was pretending she didn't want to. And instantly, he penetrated her and was thrusting in and out as if he was a Cheetah.For the second time, her phone fell from her hand. Uncontrollable tears rolled out of her eyes. She felt some excruciating pains. Her heart tightened and shattered into pieces.She tilted her head and turned to Kayla whose head was lowered dejectedly. "You knew about this right?" She asked. Her voice was shaky and it revealed brokenness. Kayla lifted her head and nodded slowly. "I swear I didn't tell you because..
"Do you love her?" Mrs. Mara Austin, the relationship asked, staring at Dillon with her oversized eyeglasses. Dillon blinked his eyes and nodded hesitantly. "Yes... I do," "Then how did you end up having sex with someone else?" She eyed him as if she was trying to detect if he was lying. "Well... I... I was drugged," He was embarrassed. He tightened his eyes as he answered.Mrs. Mara saw how embarrassed he was and decided to go straight to the point. "You have to get her flowers and chocolate. A well-handwritten letter of apology. Make sure the letter is written by you, to show how sorry you are. And after that, get her her favorite things," She halted briefly and then continued, "Mr. Dillon, I do not promise you these are going to be effective immediately, but I am sure they would work with your persistent, consistent, and sincerity," Dillon went mute, assimilating everything she had said. Afterward, he got up and shook hands with her before vacating the room.Mrs. M
Chapter 29 "The president just got involved in a fatal accident and he has been taken to the City Hospital," Ezekiel said over the phone in a worried tone. Everything went numb as soon as Ivy heard this. Countless emotions gushed within her. Absent-mindedly, her phone fell from her hands. "No! Dillon can't be involved in an accident," She screamed and rushed out. She got into the car and without informing the chauffeur, she drove off at a speed. In a flash, she had already gotten to City Hospital. Her heart skipped when she saw a lot of reporters in front of the hospital. They were all trying to get into the hospital to satisfy their curiosity. "No... No... No... It can't be," She flew out of the car, leaving the door unlocked, and rushed into the hospital. She held the only nurse she met in the reception tightly. "Where's he?" She asked, beads of sweat already forming on her head. Her body trembled and her voice shook tremendously. "Who?" The nurse's face squeezed and
Ivy opened her eyes slowly. She fell from the roof. As if Dillon had already known what would happen, he called the director and asked her to put a foam there in case of necessity.She was expecting to feel pains all over her body, or perhaps, to have broken joints but she wasn't feeling anything. It was strange. "What happened? Why is my arm still intact?" She asked, looking at the director and crew faces one after the other. "Well, you fell on a foam instead of the hard floor," The director replied while helping her up. She found it odd, yet, she didn't pester any longer. "Let's take a break. We will look for a stunt to play this role. We will be taking the next scene in 20 minutes," She announced, clapping her hands and dispersing other members.Ivy took a bottle of water and went to sit on a bench. She opened the water and gulped it thirstily. She finished it in a go. "Hey! How are you?" Gabriel Austin, the man acting in the lead role asked. He was walking toward her. "Fine,"
The internet was on fire. The news of Mirabel fainting spread like wildfire. The reporters claimed everything was Ivy's fault and Mirabel could not be any happier than this. "Ivy... Can you please wait?" Dillon called as soon as he got out of his car. He locked the door and scurried after Ivy.Ivy halted her footsteps and turned to face him with folded arms. Her mouth was pouted. Her misted eyes radiated pain. "What the hell do you want from me? You see! I kept wondering if you didn't think twice before behaving shamelessly," She spat out and walked away. Dillon was speechless. How can he be haunted by what he didn't do intentionally?*. *. * Kayla just finished taking her bath, and with a towel wrapped around her slim, flawless body, she stepped into the bedroom. She creamed her body and dressed up happily. She has finished her first college degree and she has to go and look for a place to work as an intern. And since she was aspiring to be a reporter, she decided to go for
Dillon couldn't believe his ears. He never expected those words to come out of her mouth. "What! Are you being serious right now?" He sprang up. Shock stricken and perplexed. "Oh! Yes! I am freaking serious right now," Dillon scoffed, looking at her unbelievably. "I can't believe this," "Well, you just have to believe it now," She retorted almost immediately. "What the hell did you expect me to say? Mirabel's loyal fans are ready to do anything just so you could get married to her. If it was just you and I, I won't bother too much but, this is about my sister. The only family I have here on earth. What if they do something more disastrous to her? This is not the time to be selfish, Dillon," She fired, releasing her frustration with the words. Dillon's mouth was wide open. He was looking to be sure this was his woman. "Selfish? Are you indirectly calling me selfish?" He asked and instead of answering him, she hissed and headed upstairs.*. *. * In a room.Mirabel puffed out t
"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
