Ivy's sobs increased when Godwin pulled her into a hug. Without uttering a word, he rubbed her back in a gentle manner, trying to make her calm. "I don't deserve everything Dillon did. Even if he's sick, he was supposed to remember me and not those two witches. What did I do to deserve all these?" She lamented amidst tears and Godwin hummed, acknowledging her statement. An hour later, Ivy drifted off to sleep while hugging him and he gently picked her up in a bridal style and took her to her bedroom. He placed her on the bed and covered her body with a quilt. Thereafter, he placed a soft kiss on her forehead before stepping out of the room.As soon as he stepped out of her apartment, he rushed into Evelyn's apartment. Evelyn and Ryan weren't expecting him so they were astonished to see him. "A....," Godwin threw a knife at Evelyn suddenly, making her statement hang abruptly. She shut her eyes and expectantly waited for the knife to pierce into her skin. However, the knife passed
Kayla opened her eyes slowly and realized her hands and legs had been tied to the chair. She shook her body, trying to break free from the clutch but it was futile.Her heart skipped when she remembered the dream she just had. She was scared the dream might come true. "Hello! Who's there? I need help. Help me," She shouted, making an effort to escape.After shouting countlessly, the door opened. A man walked in, he was putting on a sky-blue shirt and a deep blue jacket. His face was defined and cute. He had a skinny collarbone but it only completed his good look. Two men who looked like his bodyguards also followed behind.And he walked toward Kayla. As soon as he stopped in front of Kayla, his scent of cinnamon hovered across her nose and she couldn't resist inhaling his scent.He glanced at her and slowly his lips curled in an ambiguous smile.Strangely, Kayla's body froze at his smile. She was having a bad precondition that something was about to happen. And it was something unfo
MJ stood over Daniel as he grunted on the floor, but all his thoughts were consumed by the safety of Kayla, who was helplessly tied to a chair, forced to witness the horrifying occurrence. With a calculated move, MJ placed one of his legs on Daniel's body, exerting dominance. He gestured to his men, raising his hand, and one of them brought forth an iron rod.The atmosphere in the warehouse was thick with tension as MJ took hold of the rod, his gaze fixed on Daniel, who lay defenseless beneath him. The sound of metal scraping against the concrete floor echoed through the vast space, intertwining with Kayla's terrified screams. MJ's eyes locked with Kayla's, a sinister smile playing on his lips as he approached her with an air of superiority. With a harsh grip on her cheek, he held her face captive, forcing her to meet his gaze. His voice dripped with menace as he taunted her."Baby girl, it seems you don't know who I really am. Mind if I give you a history lesson?" MJ's words were lac
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
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
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
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
"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
"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
