Mirabel waved her hands, smiling widely and sending creepiness down Ivy's spine. She sneered inwardly and stared at her, surprised and perplexed. "I am sure you must have had a long day. Go to your room, shower, and rest," She chuckled wickedly afterward. Ivy rolled her eyes, folded her arms, and went to sit on the sofa opposite her. Unsmiling, she asked, "Are you sure you haven't missed your way?" "Come off that. How can I miss my way to my fiance's house?" Ivy knew she was just trying to trigger her anger and she wouldn't let it. "Fiance??? Did no one tell you that a married man is no longer some sluts' fiance?" The statement hit Mirabel in the face like a slap. She sprang up and balled her fist furiously. She bit her lower lips, controlling her veins from puking out of her skin. "I dare you to repeat that statement," She pointed a finger at her. Her body trembled because of her exasperation.Ivy giggled and muttered nonchalantly, "I don't know when a slut starts get
Dillon's mother and Mirabel strode in majestically. The duo radiated a sophisticated and intimidating aura. Ivy had a bad premonition when she saw the luggage with them. Who wants to start living with them? "Oh! My son. You must be surprised to see me here tonight," Dillon's mother muttered, taking her seat on one of the sofas. She instructed Mirabel to sit beside her and keep her luggage beside the stairs. "Mom! What are you doing here tonight? I thought I left your side a while ago," The smile on his face had frozen. Fear and confusion were apparent in his eyes. Ivy gave him a questionable gaze. Has he already gone to her side? And didn't deem it fit to let her know about it? "I brought your wife home," She simply answered, placing her leg on the other. "Mom!" That was the only word he managed to utter. "What are you still waiting for, Mirabel? Common take your bags to his bedroom," Mirabel's face fell and she feigned to be sad. She pouted and held Dillon's mother's arm. "M
The chirping sounds of the birds pierced into Ivy's ear. She stretched and yawned with her eyes closed. She opened her eyes weakly and her gaze landed on an Air Conditioner. That was strange. There was an AC in her room but it was beside her bed not in front of it.Didn't she sleep in her room?" She rhetorically asked in her mind. Instantly, the memories from the previous night rushed into her head and she sprang up. She remembered she walked out of the house herself and the last thing she recollected was that she sat on a bench at the bus terminus before everything turned dark. "Where am I? Where is this place?" She was still asking herself when the door opened and a young girl walked in. She was wearing a white apron on her waist and her dress looked like she was a maid. "Good morning, my lady. I hope you enjoyed your night," She humbly asked, smiling. Though she was feeling uneasy, Ivy still managed to smile back. "Er... Sorry, where am I?" She finally spoke out. The lady
The policemen stormed to my side and held me tight, close to their bodies. "Let go of me. I am not a criminal," I shoved them away. Still, I was emotionless. "Is this how to do your job? If she is too hard to drag, then bundle her ass out of this house," Dillon's mother fired. She was infuriated by the way the policemen were acting.Dillon and his friend, Daniel, were stupefied. "I swear I will sue you for harassment if you lay your filthy hands on me again," Ivy threatened.Dillon's mother sneered and ordered the policemen to do their jobs.Daniel finally jolted out of his dazed state and tugged Dillon lightly on his shoulder. "Aren't you going to do anything?" He asked, raising his eyebrows in a questioning manner. "Ah! But it is my mother," Dillon's response made Daniel shocked. His expression changed into a stun. "So? No one is asking you to defy your money. I mean, you should stand up for your wife. I know I don't know the full story but it isn't right with the wa
Ivy heard a knock on her door, she opened it and when she saw Dillon, she hissed and went to sit on the bed. "Can I come in?" He asked, flashing an uneasy smile at her. "You can choose to go back," She answered, unsmiling.Dillon walked in and sat on the bed, beside her.After a few minutes of silence, he broke it, "Mum has gone back home,"Ivy kept mute. She was staring at nowhere in particular. "I'm sorry, wifey. I know I have been stupid and annoying lately, but can you please find a place in your heart to forgive me?" He slowly started.Ivy retracted her gaze and fixed it on him. Unhurriedly, a smile crept out of her lips and she pulled him into a hug. "You know I can't get angry with you for so long," She muttered amidst laughter. "And that's what makes you the best wife in the world," The duo kissed afterward. And slowly, it turned into a heated session of countless rounds of sex.The Next Day Ivy tried to move her legs but found out her thighs are swollen and
Days turned into a week. Ivy and Dillon were able to curb Mirabel's unruly act. And Dillon's mother had also stopped misbehaving, at least, for now.Mirabel's assistant went to meet her as soon as she got to M&O entertainment company, the entertainment firm Mirabel was signed into. "Welcome, Miss Mirabel. I have been trying to reach you for a week," She humbly said, adjusting her big shades.Mirabel glanced at her with scrutiny. Her eyes emitted disgust and irritation. "So! You should know I am busy or don't feel like talking to any intruder," She simply answered with her head straight and shoulders raised. "Er... Mr. Rowell is waiting for you in his office. He asked you to see him immediately you get here," "What does he want?" "I... I don't know,"Mirabel pushed her bag to her assistant's chest and strode elegantly into the CEO's office. "Good morning, Mr. Rowell," Mirabel muttered sarcastically, walking gracefully toward him. Without asking for permission, she
"Madam! Madam!! Madam!!! Are you listening? Madam?" Dillon's secretary called. She was trying to jolt Ivy from her weird thoughts.Ivy finally realized it was only her imagination, she shook her head, feeling alive. She took a last peep at the secretary's banging body. It was too tempting and that was the reason she had that dirty thought as soon as she saw her.She laughed, embarrassed. She raised a question, "Where is your boss?" Since nobody was aware the president is married. The secretary squeezed her face, awed by the way Ivy requested him informally. "He's in his office. Do you have any appointments with him?" She asked hesitantly. There was still shock on her face as she responded. "Err... No, because it is a surprise. He didn't know I would be coming to his company today. This should be my first time here," She excitedly explained. The secretary found her behavior weird.She tilted her head and looked at her with scrutiny. She was dolled up like a cultured and so
Kayla touched her nose which was hurting due to the force. She felt something sticky in her hands. She looked at it and found out it was blood. "Fuck!" She cursed, throwing him a spiteful glare. "Have you finally realized you are the one who is blind and not me?" She rolled her eyes, still holding her nose. "I am....," Dillon tried to apologize after it dawned on him that he was at fault this time. "Oh! Spare me that. It's useless," She waved her hands, hissed, and walked away. "I shouldn't have apologized. She's too proud," Daniel muttered, glancing at her until her silhouette disappeared. He also hissed and footed inside.It didn't take him a second before finding where Dillon and Ivy were seated. "How was it?" Dillon asked, pouring Daniel a wine. "It has been sorted out," He simply answered, picking up the glass of wine and taking a sip. "Where's she?" "Who?" Ivy looked behind her. "Your sister," "Oh! She had an emergency visit to the toilet. Sh
"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
