Dillon raised his hands to hit Ivy but luckily, Daniel walked in at the moment and quickly grabbed his hands, halting him from smacking her.Before Dillon could react, Daniel threw a punch at his face. He staggered and slumped onto the couch. "I think I need to teach you how to treat a woman," Daniel commented while massaging his fist and neck. He dashed toward Dillon, snatched his collar, and punched him again in his face. "She is your wife for goodness sake. Your legally married wife. How can you treat your woman like some sort of punching bag?" Another punch.Jessica blinked her eyes, shocked and startled. She sneered inwardly, pissed at the way Daniel came to disrupt her plans.She rushed to where they were and held Daniel's shoulders. "Please stop, Dan. He isn't as strong as you for now. Please don't injure him,"Daniel halted, hanging his fist in the air. He turned his head and glanced at Jessica. While looking at her, all he could see was a snake and a pretender. It was st
Kayla hissed angrily when she saw Dillon's mother. She got up from Mirabel, removed her pair of heels, and threw them at Dillon's mother.The pair of heels hit her forehead and nose and she fell on the stairs because of dizziness. "Nice throw," Daniel praised, clapping his hands impressively. "What have you done?" Dillon's voice rang from the stairs. His eyes were emitting fireballs and he looked like he might turn into a dragon and burn Kayla up with his fire. "Oh! Mr. Puppy. I have been expecting you to come out," She dusted her hands and placed them on her waist fearlessly. Daniel was amazed by her brave side. At that moment, she looked like a pretty fearless warrior who was ready to defend the world. "I fell for the right girl after all," He licked his lips. A spark of happiness flashed across his eyes. "Are you crazy? Do you want to die?" "Silly! Even if I want to die, I refuse to die at the hands of a sick dementia patient like you," She yelled back. Only if she co
Ivy stood, transfixed and unshakeable. The last time she was with these two was at the mall when Dillon wanted to get some clothes for her.Seeing them in Australia was surprising and the suspecting part was that they looked thinner than they were in New York. "Evelyn Desmond!" "Ivy Hughes!" They both called in unison. Silence overtook afterward.Ryan broke the silence with his laughter. "Fantastic! Ivy Hughes in Australia? Oh! Did you bring your rich and powerful boyfriend to come and chase us from here again?" Ryan Austin, Ivy's ex-boyfriend who betrayed her with her best friend, sarcastically muttered with shock.Ivy chuckled, and although surprised to see them, she was able to put on an expressionless face. No one could read her emotions at that point. "What do you mean?" She raised a question. "This asshole still has the nerve to feign innocence in my present," Evelyn, her best friend, dashed toward her, ready to lunge at her.Ryan snatched her hands with alacrity, s
Ezekiel glanced at the message and his puzzled countenance shifted into a smile. He started the car and zoomed off excitedly.*Australia* Ivy woke up the next day with a bang on her door. She hissed and got up lazily. "Who the hell are these people?" She grumbled, scratching her head with her eyes still closed.She opened the door and was met with a surprising sight. Evelyn and her husband were standing in front of her door, not smiling.With folded arms and opened eyes, she muttered, "It's too early, guys. I have gone through enough in New York. All I want to do is rest," She sounded as if she was cajoling them and was about to shut her door, however, Evelyn held the door, stopping her from closing the door. "Well, you should have thought about that before hitting me yesterday. Police! Arrest her," Evelyn shouted and two policemen appeared. "You have to follow us to the station," One of them said rudely. "What! She fucking attacked me first," She defended, shocked. "Lia
A bead of sweat coated Ivy's forehead. Suddenly, everywhere became hot and she felt like removing her clothes.The news about her pregnancy came to her as a shock. She didn't think about that. She had been having unprotected sex with Dillon, of course, he was her husband and it's only ideal if they do it raw. "Pregnant? What?" She exclaimed, clutching the bed sheet, dazed. "Yes, ma'am. Congratulations, ma," The doctor shook her hand happily.Ivy stared at the space, without muttering any word and tears streamed down her face. Why did she have to get pregnant now? This is not the right time. "Can I leave now?" She inquired without looking at the doctor. "Yes! Your bills have been cleared by a good Samaritan. Just make sure you come for a check-up every month and antenatal every week," She got off the bed and strode out of the hospital, devastated and confused.It was supposed to be happy news, yet, tears of sadness wouldn't stop streaming. She hailed a taxi and drove straight
Daniel was behind a petite red-haired girl, his huge rock was sliding in and out of her like an expert. Sweats had covered the duo without living the tiniest parts of their bodies. The bed was also moving rhythmically as Daniel jerked into her at a fast pace. Their loud moans filled the room.They were so engrossed in the enjoyable act that they didn't notice that Kayla was also in the room with them.Kayla stood stupefied. Her mouth was agape and her body was frozen. Absent-mindedly, a drop of tears fell from her eyes as she glanced at Daniel. When she noticed, she quickly wiped the tears away with her back palm.No! She wasn't going to allow Daniel to enjoy himself when he has ruined her life. She dashed towards them like a soldier. "To hell with you, Daniel," She yelled. Before they could react, her hands clutched the unknown woman's hair and she pulled it angrily.Daniel was puzzled. He stopped what he was doing immediately and got off the woman. He quickly put on his underwear
The house owner's eyes turned when he heard the voice on the phone, his body trembled and he collapsed onto the ground.Ivy was surprised. She glanced at him with suspicion. The house owner quickly sprang up and dusted his body. "Hey! Hey!! Stop... Stop that," He stuttered, running inside Ivy's apartment and holding the hooligans' hands. The hooligans dropped the mirror they carried and threw him questioning looks. "Don't ask me questions. I don't want to chase her out again," He awkwardly explained. "Ah! But .....," "No buts! She isn't someone who can afford to be on her wrong side. Let's leave now," He whispered in a low tone. The hooligans nodded in understanding and scurried out. The house owner walked out, embarrassed and abashed, he hit his arms shamefully. He released an awkward chuckle, "I am so sorry, Miss Ivy. It's my mistake for coming here to threaten you. Please stay here forever. I will be glad to be your house owner till eternity,"Saying this, he ran off w
Kayla found the doctor's explanation funny and she couldn't help smirking. "Are you trying to be funny?" She asked, looking into his eyes. "I am not. It's our new policy, Miss Hughes. We just need someone to take responsibility in case something bad happens," He calmly explained to her but she wasn't having it. "Your new policy? It's your new policy but you didn't deem it fit to let me know the last time I came here," She raised her voice, getting annoyed. "Calm down, Miss Hughes. The new policy started today and we have to follow it," "What!" Her gaze lowered and she blinked her eyes subsequently.She placed her hands on the table and giggled, "Why are you teasing me? I am not in the mood for that. Can you just get this thing out of my stomach? I will play as much as you want immediately after we are done," She mumbled, not believing the doctor was serious. "I am sorry but there is nothing I can do to help you. Your boyfriend has to be here," "But I don't have a boyfrie
"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
