Leon's face turned pale when he saw the wristwatch she was holding.he was distracted by her presence that he forgot to keep the wristwatch back.He knew that he was in trouble judging from the look of surprise on her face.Ivy looked at the wrist watch well,she couldn't be mistaken.it was the same exact wristwatch she stole from Leon.she wondered what it was doing in Leon's room.she was surprised and confused.she looked at Leon for explanation but he didn't say anything."Isn't this the wristwatch I stole from you?"Ivy found herself asking him.Leon couldn't say a word.he opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out.At the end,he ended up stammering.Ivy had never seen him behave that way before,she could tell that she was right about the wristwatch and he knew about it which is the reason he found it hard to speak."I asked a question,is this not the wristwatch I stole from you?"she asked again.Leon inhaled and exhaled,he made up his mind to tell her the truth."It is"he r
IVY'S POV.I didn't know where I was going,the only thing I knew was that I wanted to leave the mansion.I didn't want to see his face or talk to him.My head was full and I wanted to be relieved but no matter how I tried, nothing was changing.I was very hurt with what he did.he made a fool out of me.I needed someone to talk to, Raymond was not the option but I think Sarah will do.I dialed her number and she agreed to meet up with me at a restaurant.I boarded a cab and headed to the restaurant.When I arrived,she was already seated there with a calm expression on her face.I also noticed that there was something different about her,she seems to have lost weight and she didn't have that bright or happy expression on her face this time around.She was probably passing through something too.As I approached her,she got up and hugged me before sitting down on her chair.I settled down on the empty chair opposite her.We ordered drinks and foods,I played with my fork without saying anything.
IVY'S POV.I decided to go back to the mansion after making up my mind to forgive him for what he did.Sarah was right,I should forgive him if I love him like I say I do.After alighting from the cab that I boarded,I strode into the mansion which was unusually quiet.I thought of what to say when I see him."I forgive you for what you did because I love you but please don't fool me again"No this is not good,I should try another one."I realized that it's of no use staying angry with you,I forgive you because I …."No, this is not good either.Before I knew what was happening,I was standing in front of the door to his room.I knocked thrice but there was no response from him.I pushed the door open and it opened but the room was empty.there was no sign of him anywhere.where could he have gone to?I dialed his number but it was not going through.After waiting for a while,I walked back to my room dejectedly.As soon as I opened the door to my room,I was greeted with darkness which was confusin
IVY'S POV."I understand if you are not ready yet, like I said earlier,I won't do anything you don't like"his voice broke me out from my thoughts.I stared into his sea blue eyes and which was staring back at mine.My gaze caught the bulge in his trousers,it would be cruel of me to reject him like this.I didn't want to be a useless girlfriend to him.After thinking for some minutes,I made up my mind.I loved him and I am ready to do anything for him."I am ready"I said to him."I don't want you to feel like I am putting too much pleasure on you,you can put on your dress,I don't want you to do what you will regret later"he said to me."And who said I would regret giving myself to you?"I asked and he didn't say anything and I noticed that he was trying to not make eye contact with me.My shame left immediately,I stood on my toes and wrapped my hands around his neck before kissing him.I released him after kissing him for some time and I was panting heavily.He stared at me with his eyes wh
The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky.In Ivy's room,she was on all fours on the bed while Leon was banging from behind.They were just having their early morning sex,after exploding inside of her again,They both collapsed on the bed.Ivy was tired but she was happy that she could satisfy her man."My love,I think I am the happiest man on Earth right now"he said to her and she smiled."If that is the case then I think we think alike because I was thinking that I was the happiest woman on Earth"she said to Leon who let out a laugh."My love,I want us to do something now,"he said to her.Ivy didn't fail to notice that he changed from calling her babe to my love.she felt butterflies in my stomach."My love"he called again."Huh"Ivy stared curiously at him."I want us to come clean with each other,I want us to tell each other the secret we are hiding,I see you as a part of my family and I don't want us hiding things from each other,this is not a time to get angry or blame e
"I had a crush on Raymond since high school and I never told him about it,that's my hidden secret"she said to Leon whose countenance changed."Don't worry,I don't have a crush on him anymore,it was all in the past"Ivy assured Leon who still had a sad expression on his face."I have a bad feeling about that guy, this is the reason you should stay away from him"Leon said to Ivy and she smiled after seeing how he acted when he was jealous.He actually looked cute."You look cute when you are jealous"she said to him and he pouted his lips.he was left in a state of dilemma when Ivy captured his lips with hers.he was speechless because he didn't know that Ivy would take such a bold step.He closed his eyes and wrapped his hands around her waist as he relished the good moment between them.Everything felt like a dream to the both of them.********Two days laterLeon was in his office going through some documents but his mind was only filled with the thoughts of Ivy.he couldn't stop thinking
Ivy arrived at her shop and she saw Leon's car parked outside.she ignored him purposely and started opening her shop.On seeing her,Leon got out of his car immediately and approached her."Where have you been?"he asked."Somewhere"Ivy replied."Doesn't that somewhere have a name?"he questioned and Ivy sighed."What is the meaning of this?Where am I ?Am in the interrogation office?Are you a cop?If you keep on asking me questions like then let's go our separate ways"she uttered and Leon frowned."I am sorry,I was just worried about you"he said to her and Ivy smiled."You don't have to apologize for my love,I would never think of leaving you,we are stuck with each other"she said to him."Besides, what are you doing here? aren't you supposed to be at work?"she asked."Come with me,I want to take you somewhere"he said to her."I don't want to go anywhere,I want to know what I will do with my life.I just started this business and I want to be serious with it so I can be rich like you or don'
Leon explained to Ivy that they were on vacation,Ivy was surprised but also happy at the same time.They arrived at the hotel that they were going to stay in."You should have told me on time so I would come with my clothes"Ivy said to Leon."Don't worry, everything has been taken care of,you can find your clothes and everything you need in the wardrobe"he said to her.Ivy walked to the wardrobe and opened it,she was surprised to see many new clothes and other things she needed."Thank you for this"she said to Leon who nodded,he was busy with his phone."My love,Excuse me, I need to take this call"he said to her.Ivy walked towards the balcony and she smiled as she admired the beauty of Paris."Grandson,where are you?I need to talk to you"Madam Heather said to Leon over the phone."Grandma,I am in Paris right now on a vacation,I will try to find a way to come back or can't you say it over the phone"Leon said to Madam Heather."No,you can stay as long as you want okay,I will tell you w
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
