Ivy came back to the office and she resumed work.She went to Leon's office to drop a file.after dropping the file,she was about to go when Leon called her back.She turned slowly,she didn't look him in the eye as her head was bent low.She knew that he would punish her and do bad things to her because she sued him to court.She accepted her fate.He got up from his seat and Walked towards her.her heart beat increased in its pace as he approached her.He raised her chin up making her look him in the eye.Ivy was very nervous,Leon didn't fail to notice that she was scared.he retreated his hands immediately.he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable."Just look at me as I talk to you"he said to her and Ivy nodded but she kept rubbing her palms which were sweaty."I am very sorry for everything I did to you"he said and Ivy's jaw dropped.was she hearing right?."Pardon?"she muttered."I have been thinking of our meeting with each other,I couldn't help but feel bad for the wrong things I did to
Leon kept glancing at his wrist watch, he couldn't wait for the closing time to reach.he had never felt so happy in his life since his parents died.he was right in accepting his feelings.As soon as the time reached for dismissal,he left his office immediately and stood at his door waiting for Ivy.it didn't take long Before Ivy came out of her office.as soon as he saw Ivy he pretended to be on a call.Ivy was surprised to see him in the office,she thought he would have left like he usually does.she decided to stay back and wait for him to be done with his call because it was rude to Walk past him Like that."Good evening sir"she greeted after he put his phone in his bag."Where are you going?"he asked."Home"she replied."I will drive you home"he offered and Ivy hesitated.she was not used to him being kind to her."I thought we were friends now,"he said to her."Okay"Ivy replied.He grabbed her hand and dragged her with him not waiting for Ivy to say another word.There was silence be
Soon he was done eating another plate of pig intestines.he was sweating profusely but he maintained a smile on his face."Are you okay?"Ivy, who was worried about him, asked and he nodded."Why shouldn't I be okay?Come on let's go,I have so many places to take you to"He said standing up from his chair and Ivy followed suit.When they reached his car,he tilted his head towards her side to fix the seat belt for her.Ivy held her breath because of their close proximity.Soon he was done fixing her seat belt,he drove to a cinema.he bought a popcorn and a drink.Ivy was so excited.soon they started watching a movie,it was a horror movie with a little bit of romance.Ivy gripped Leon immediately when a scary scene came up and they maintained eye contact and Ivy's heart beat increased in its pace.Realizing herself,she cleared her throat before returning back to her position.It didn't take long before they finished watching the movie."I want to visit my grandma in the hospital,will you come
"What?"Ivy was in shock."I have lung cancer and I don't know how long I will live before I die but my time is near"Madam Heather said to Ivy.Tears welled up in Ivy's eyes.the first person she thought about was Leon.how would he feel when the only person he considers family after the tragic death of his parents died?how would he feel?can he be able to cope?.She tried to say something but no words came out of her mouth.she stared at Madam Heather while speechless."Leon doesn't know about this so please don't tell him,I don't want him to be sad"Madam Heather said to her."I am so sorry ma'am"Ivy said to her and she held her hands."I don't know how Leon would cope if I am gone,I don't want him to follow the wrong path by harboring hatred in his heart,you are the only one I know that can help me, please help me out"Madam Heather said to Ivy.Ivy didn't know what to say but she was sure about one thing.she didn't want to refuse Madam Heather especially when she was dying."I will help
The next day,Ivy took her bath and dressed up for church but she didn't see any sign of Leon.she decided to go to his room to inform him that she was going to church,Maybe he would join her.She knocked on the door to his room but he didn't open.she pushed the door and the door opened."Sir Leon"she called as she entered his bedroom but she got no response."Has he gone out this early morning?"she thought to herself.she tried to leave but stopped when she heard his voice coming from the bedroom.She went further in and soon she was in the bedroom.he was lying on the bed with a duvet covering him."Sir Leon"she called again but he didn't respond.She sensed that something was wrong.she moved closer and removed the duvet which was covering him.she touched his forehead to find out that his temperature was very high.that was when she realized that he was sick.she dropped her bag on the table.She managed to wake him up but Leon held his stomach."Sir Leon,how are you feeling?What is happe

SARAH'S POV."Let go of me"I said to him but his grip on my arm tightened."I saw the stunts you tried to pull earlier,do you have to hesitate in answering the Reverend father's question,are you mad?"he said to me and I frowned."It's none of your business how I respond to the Reverend father, what matters is that I got married to him.isn't that enough for you?"I said to him."Do you have to show everyone that you are not happy with the marriage?Listen carefully,I am warning you and I won't do that again. Instead I will take action the next time you misbehave and Don't talk to me anyhow,"he said to me."What do you want this time around?I did what you asked of me and you Don't want to let me be"I asked him."I want you to rectify your mistakes,it was quite obvious to everyone that you were not happy with the marriage,I want you to act sweet especially to your husband"he said to me, tightening his grip on me."What's going on here?''an unfamiliar but familiar voice interrupted us.I loo
