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
The Next DayIvy just finished eating breakfast when Kayla rushed downstairs with her phone. "See what I found on the internet,"She threw the phone at Ivy and she quickly caught it. She threw her a questioning glance, Kayla widened her eyes and signaled to her to look at the phone. Ivy sighed and lowered her head to skim through the phone. She sprang up as soon as she peeked at the phone. "What!" "These people are despicable and desperate," Kayla chipped in. She sat on the dining seat and gobbled up three pies while glimpsing at her perplexed sister. "This is crazy,"Ivy muttered blankly. She was staring at nowhere in particular. Kayla nodded with a bloated mouth, "Very crazy," She struggled to say with the pies in her mouth. She had woken up to scroll through the internet and the news she logged in to was her sister's news. The headline was, "A NEWBIE THREATENED TO KILL OUR DRAMA DOLL, MIRABEL" And under the post was the video of the scenes from the previous day, where t
Dillon was not in sight when Ivy stepped into the house. Mrs. Smith was mopping the tiles when she got to the living room.She halted her actions and raised her head properly, to greet Ivy. "Welcome, madam," She beamed, wiping an imaginary perspiration from her forehead. "Mrs. Smith! What are we having for breakfast tonight?" Ivy pelted her bag onto the couch. She placed her hands on her small waist while standing behind the stairs. The male lead had been changed by the time she got to the production location. Nobody can blame her for making Ryan lose his opportunity of working in a big production. At least, she gave her the chance but his pettiness got in his way.Mrs. Smith wanted to say something, yet, she hit herself, reprimanding herself for being so forward. "Mr. Dillon wouldn't like it," She mumbled and Ivy asked, "Did I hear you say something?"She let out an uneasy giggle while shaking her head negatively. She picked the mop up and headed towards the kitchen, hu
Ivy I pushed him to the wall when he professed his feelings to me. A heavy smack landed on his cheeks before he could respond. My stomach tinged with happiness when I heard his confession. Secretly, I have been having some strange feelings lately. My heart would skip whenever he smiled at me and butterflies surged in my belly whenever he touched me. At first, I thought I was infected with some strange sickness but Kayla made me understand I was beginning to fall for Dillon. Why did he take him so long before he confessed his feelings? The slap I gave him was for making me endure my emotions for him for so long. "That's for not speaking on time," I muttered and pressed my lips against his. All my actions were too swift and it took him a long time to kiss me back. Maybe, he didn't think I could fall in love with him.I squeezed his arm, notifying him to kiss me back, he got my hint and he responded, kissing me hungrily as if he had been starved of it.My arms encircled his neck while
Ivy The room didn't look like Dillon's mansion. I scrutinized the whole place, it was a glass house. There was a deep blue sea in front of it and the blue sky did nothing but make it look as if I was in another world. I was captivated by the sight. How did I get here?" I rhetorically asked inwardly and opened the exit door. A swaying aroma wafted in my nose as I opened the door, absentmindedly, I trailed the scent to the kitchen. And there, I saw Dillon busy preparing breakfast. The sight was intriguing.He was wearing a blue apron on his bare chest. My stomach squirmed happily, not because of the food, but because of Dillon. He looked appetizing. "What! When did I start having these naughty thoughts," I secretly pinched myself. I rested my head on the door while looking at him. The sight was appealing and satisfying. I have heard men are more handsome when they are working, but Dillon looked like a mini-god when he was cooking.He caught me staring at home before I could hide behi
Ivy An unfamiliar woman dashed into our VVIP room and pulled Dillon into a deep hug. It was too sudden and he couldn't react in time, still, I was angry Dillon allowed her to touch him. "Hello, handsome. I saw you step into the restaurant and couldn't take my eyes off you," The woman excitedly explained.She was holding his hands and squeezing his arms on her breasts as if she was seducing him. I had a mug on my face and fixed my gaze on Dillon, waiting to see his response.I was eager to know if he was enjoying the attention he was getting or not.As expected of the devil Dillon. He yanked her hands away and gave her a deadly look. The woman moved back, terrified. I was finally able to glance at her properly when she shifted back, she was wearing the latest edition of Angel Design and the bag she was carrying was from Louis Vuitton. She must be a woman of class. But, how come she was so shameless? She saw a man and was already all over him??? Phewww... Rich women and their shamel
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
"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
