"Why is she here?"he asked."I think you should ask her yourself"Emily said to him.the door opened and Ivy stepped in,on seeing her Emily walked out of the room to give them space.Ivy greeted her father before sitting down on the chair.she didn't fail to notice the troubled expression on his face."My daughter,you are here, welcome"he said to her."How have you been doing?I've not heard from you for a long time now"he said to her."I'm doing great and I saw the money you sent me through Raymond to bail myself from the man I robbed,thank you"Ivy said to him.he was speechless as he asked Raymond not to tell Ivy that he was the one that owns the ring."It's nothing,I will do anything for my daughter,"he replied."How have you been too?"Ivy couldn't help but ask, seeing that he was acting differently like something was bothering him.he was still her father and she cared about him even though she was still mad at him."I'm fine,Emily is taking good care of me"Mr Parker replied.seeing the
‘’My name is Leonardo De Salvo’’ he introduced himself staring into Mr. Parker’s eyes to know his reaction. He could see the look of shock on his face that was enough to prove him right that it was the man he was thinking about.’’ Leonardo De Salvo the CEO of super pacific company and also the only son of late Alexandra and Abigail De Salvo’’. He added while staring intently at Mr. Parker studying his every reaction to his words. Mr. Parker broke out in cold sweats as he shifted his gaze from Leon to Ivy. He could remember the incident that happened years ago.Moreover Ivy was surprised with the way Leon introduced himself to her father, Also she didn’t fail to see her father’s behavior when Leon introduced himself. She knew something was definitely wrong somewhere.‘’I guess you remember me well enough’’ Leon said to him in a cold voice. Mr. Parker kept mute as his heart kept on beating fast.‘’well give me the permission to tell your daughter who you truly are’’ Leon added. Mr. Park
On reaching the jet terminal, she saw Leon's car parked there, she alighted from the car immediately and ran to where his car was parked but he was not in the car. She heard a sound and she turned towards the direction and saw the plane they used to come to city B taking off.She held her head and her hands ruffled through her hair as she looked up to the sky"Leon" she said aloud as tears rolled down her cheeks. Everything felt like a dream to her, they were so happy with each other and they couldn't wait to get married to each other and everything happened so soon. She only wished that everything was a dream but the sad reality was that it wasn't a dream.She felt emptiness and her heart ached so much.She fell on her knees and started sobbing silently.Everything was too much for her to handle.Back in Mr Leon's room,he was thinking of what to do to solve the situation he found himself in. He wouldn't forgive himself if his daughter hates him.he also needed to tell her the truth about
IVY'S POV.I didn't know where I was heading to,at this point the only thing I needed was to clear my head because everything was too much for me.I love Leon so much and I can't afford to lose him because of my father's mistake.I would have gone back to city A today so I can talk to him but I don't think I can catch the next train leaving on time.I decided to stay back in city B,I will leave early in the morning the next day.it was better that way at least he would have calmed down by then too.I found myself in the park,I sat down on one of the bench as I watched the children play.the view of them playing and having fun reminded me of when I was little,the time my father will always take me to the park and play with me.we were so happy then and he tried his best to fill the gap of not having a mother.he was really nice to me and showed me that he loved me so much.We had a strong bond between us and I loved him so much,that was the reason I was willing to do anything to make sure he
IVY'S POV.After few hours of long ride,we arrived at the jet terminal.I looked at Dave questioningly as I wondered why we were here.as if he knew what I was thinking,he said to me."he is not in this country"I nodded and I followed him and entered the private jet.it took 3 hours before we arrived at the country where Leon was.I didn't say anything as I followed him to the car parked waiting for us.It took another 3 hours drive before we finally arrived in a secluded place.I wondered what we were doing in a forest but I kept my thoughts to myself as I followed Dave to wherever he was going.after taking so many turns,we finally arrived infront of a wooden house in the middle of a forest."We are here"Dave announced before going inside the wooden house,I couldn't help but wonder why they brought Leon to this kind of place.I looked around the house,it was just a normal wooden house but it looked like it has been abandoned for so long because it was old and I could see cobwebs in some p
l"What is bothering you?"Kelvin asked when he noticed that his father's expression changed after Amora left."Don't you think that it's time to get rid of this woman,she is not needed in our plan anymore,we already got what we wanted so she is useless to us now"Lucas replied."Weren't you the one trying to settle us before?why are you suddenly thinking of getting rid of her?"Kelvin asked."I only did that so more problems wouldn't be created,I don't want her to see a reason to be the first to strike,from the look of things now I think that she would become a problem for us in the future,we should get rid of her before she thinks of going against us"Lucas said to Kelvin."I understand what you are trying to say father but let's not forget that all this wouldn't have have being possible without her,she played a big role in our plans and she will do more in the future,she must be annoying with her words but I know she only said all that because she is still in love with Leon,she will get
"Why did you give me a position in your company?"Kelvin inquired as soon as everyone had left the meeting room, with the exception of himself, his father, and Amora, who remained."Is it wrong to give my cousin a job in my own company?"Leon inquired."The Leon I know would never do something like that," Kelvin responded."Then you don't know me well enough," Leon responded.Kelvin clenched his fists and stared at Leon, who maintained a grin calmly."I don't need your stupid job." "I'm not interested," Kelvin responded, his voice irritated.Leon rose from his chair and approached Kelvin, who was still staring at him.He rested his hands on his shoulders and smiled at Kelvin, who was perplexed as to what he was doing."Please accept it as a token of appreciation for how you managed my company while I was away," Leon stated to him.Kelvin attempted to speak, but his father seized his hands and forced him to stop.With a happy expression on his face. Lucas addressed Leon."If that's what you
LEON'S POV." How are you doing my dear nephew?"he questioned and I smiled. "I'm doing great especially now that we have began to co- operate like the family that we are" I replied him. "Talking about family, I think we should have a family dinner one day"he said and I smiled. "Sure, you can text me anytime you are ready. I will make myself available. I have to go now" I said to him before walking into the elevator. As soon as I got to my office. I scattered everything on my desk in anger. I was really furious and I wanted to vent my anger out. He is such a hypocrite. How can he smiling at me like he doesn't want me dead?. Well, I can't wait for that smile to wipe off his face. I don't think I will be able to hold myself for long anymore. I can't stand this people anymore and it's really fustrating. I have to start my plans and finish it as soon as possible. I can't wait anymore. I really miss Ivy so much and I want to hold her in my arms again and tell her how much I love
IVY'S POV. The sound of the alarm made me open my eyes. I switched off the alarm which was still ringing before rolling up the curtains and the rays of the morning sun shone brightly into my eyes. I went into the bathroom and took my bath before changing into my maid's uniform. I headed to Leon's room to clean his room and when I reached there,he was taking his bath so I hurried up cleaning the room before leaving. I helped out in the kitchen. After everything,Leon came to have his breakfast dressed up already for work. "Good morning sir"I greeted him as he sat down on the chair. He only nodded at me. I stood there while he sipped the tea. I bit my lips and rubbed my palms as I thought of what to tell him. "Why are you standing there, staring at me like someone who lost her way?"he asked, breaking me out of my thoughts. I glared at him. The first word he will tell me this morning was insult. That's very rude of him. I'm just putting up with him because I love him.
IVY'S POV. I was in the kitchen preparing some food to eat when I received a call from Sarah. She was crying so much and I became worried. I wonder what was happening to her. Did she have a miscarriage or what?. "Sarah, what is happening?" I asked. "Ivy,I need to talk to you right now. I can't bear this anymore. I can't bear this pain anymore".she cried. "Okay,I will come to you right now. Just text me the address" I said to her before ending the call. I ran into my room and changed into a simple blue gown. I put on my sandals before leaving the room. I boarded a cab which took me to the hotel Sarah was in. I couldn't help but wonder why she was staying in a hotel. I found the room she was staying in,I knocked but got no response from her. I pushed the door opened and entered the room only to see her crouched on the floor crying. She was holding an alcohol in her hands too. I rushed immediately and took the alcohol from her hands. I kept it on the table.
SARAH'S POV. I opened the envelope as thoughts of what it could possibly be filled my head. I brought out the paper inside of it and started going through the contents. I was shocked when I saw what it was about. It was an annulment letter. Lorenzo wanted a divorce. I felt like my world was crumbling down. Tears rolled down my cheeks profusely. All this while I have been hoping that he would gather his thoughts and come back to me but he was just planning our divorce. A day didn't pass when I don't think of him, how is he doing and what he was up to but all this while he was just thinking of how to annul our marriage. My heart hurt so much just from thinking about it. "You are a disappointment"I heard Kelvin's voice. "This marriage is the only thing you can contribute to the business of this family but you couldn't do it"he continued. "I told you Lucas, it is such a waste taking this useless daughter of yours in. She is just useless to this family. She is just like her mistress mo
SARAH'S POV. My luggages were scattered in the compound. I parked my car immediately in the garage and alighted from the car, rushing into the mansion. Luckily I saw Lorenzo seating in the living room. "What is happening? Why is my things outside?" I questioned. "Oh you are back"he said to me, standing up from the couch to face me. "I have been waiting for you and since you are here, I will go straight to the point. I don't want you to be in my house again. I can't stand the sight of you anymore"he said to me. "Please Lorenzo don't do this to me. Give me another chance"I pleaded. "Don't you get it?. I don't want to see you anymore. Seeing your face everytime only irritates me. Just leave now I'm asking you before I call the security"he said to me. I fell on my knees as tears rolled down my cheeks. "Please don't do this to me" "Security! Security!"he called and his men came in immediately. "Please escort her out of the mansion. I don't want to see h
SARAH'S POV. After spending some weeks in the hospital, Lorenzo was finally alright. Even though I was happy,my happiness was short-lived because he didn't want to see me anywhere around him and it hurts so much. He will be discharged today so I woke up early and took my bathe. I dressed up before driving to the hospital. When I got there,he was talking to the doctor. "Okay, I have heard"he said to the doctor who greeted me before leaving. He didn't stare at me nor said a word to me. He just acted like I wasn't there. He tried to get up from the bed but he missed his balance. I rushed forward immediately to help him but he pushed me with so much force that made me to crash to the wall and hurt my arms. The pain I felt from my injured arm wasn't compared to the pain I felt when he looked at me with so much hatred in his eyes. "How many times will I tell you that I don't want to see your face for you to hear me?. Is it that you are deaf or you are just being stubborn
SARAH'S POV. I slowly opened my eyes,the first thing I saw was the white ceiling. I got up from the bed and held my head which was throbbing. My eyes scanned the room and my gaze landed on a man lying down on the floor. Just then he got up from the ground. I could recognize who he was when he stared at me."Charles" I muttered. I looked down at my body and discovered that I was naked.I covered myself immediately with a duvet."What happened to me?"I thought as I was very scared right this moment then everything that happened the other day replayed in my head. I got up from the bed immediately with the duvet still covering me and opened the window and the bright sun shone into my eyesight and I realized that it was morning already. I fell down on my knees as tears rolled down my cheeks profusely. The Happy life I was living with Lorenzo is over. How would he even look at me when he saw my ex boyfriend banging me right in front of him. How would he believe me if I told him that
LORENZO'S POV. I couldn't get the scene I witnessed out of my thoughts. I was in such much pain that I thought my heart was being yanked from my chest. How could Sarah have done this to me? I adored her and gave her everything I had, but she chose to betray me. She didn't even try to hunt me down to apologize; she simply sat on that filthy bed and did nothing. How could she? She and that boy are going to pay for breaking me. They have to pay. Because I didn't want to go home yet, I drove to a nearby bar. I ordered so many drinks in an attempt to erase my agony, but no matter how hard I tried, it remained vivid in my mind. After consuming the one on my table, I ordered more. I can only forget this anguish by becoming drunk. My gaze was drawn to a girl sitting on the other side of the table. She had a nice smile on her face as she looked at me. I drank the whiskey in my glass cup before staggering over to where she was. "Why are you staring at me?"I asked in a drunken tone,
IVY'S POV. I packed my bags as I prepared to leave my apartment. My eyes scanned everywhere to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. My phone rang,I looked at the caller id and saw that it was my dad calling me again,I disconnected the call. I wasn't ready to talk to him. I felt that he wasn't the man that raised me. The man that raised me was a good man who taught me to be a good kid. How could he turn out to be a murderer?. Tears clouded my eyes and I wiped it with my handkerchief. My phone started ringing again and I switched it off this time around. My eyes scanned the room as I wanted to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. My main goal now was getting Leon back. He has the right to hate me because I know how it feels to grow up without a parent talkless of him whose parents were murdered when he was still a kid right in front of him and the murderer turns out to be my father. I don't know if I will ever forgive my father. I locked the door to my apartment before
