Leon felt his body become stiff when her soft body pressed against his body.his heart started to beat faster.he didn't know why he felt this way around her.He groaned inwardly before dragging her away from his body."What are you doing?is this your new method of seduction?"he asked with a frown on his face.Ivy felt so embarrassed.she was filled with happiness that she found a familiar person who would help her out that she forgot who she was hugging."I am sorry"she apologized."Get in the car"Leon said before walking to his car and Ivy followed suit, heaving a sigh of relief.There was silence in the car,the driver started the car and drove towards Leon's mansion.Ivy's eyes popped open when she saw where he was driving to.She grabbed Leon's hands tightly and Leon looked at her questioningly.Ivy gulped down her saliva nervously."Don't go back to the mansion,we have to call the police first"she said to Leon."Why?"Leon asked."There are kidnappers there,they took over your house whe
Leon was shocked,he wasn't expecting her to slap him.he was fixed on a spot as he stared at her."Do you know what I went through when I was locked up in that room,I was always scared anytime I hear the door open,I didn't know what was happening outside,I was just locked up in a space, this is the height of your cruelty,if you are the one that was behind this,this means that you are responsible for what happened to my friend Raymond"she said to him."Yes,I was the one who gave the orders"he said to her.Ivy couldn't believe her ears, she didn't expect that he could do such a thing.just a while ago she was feeling sorry for him.was it really worth it?"Why did you do it?"she asked."You were trying to run away with him because I was away,you think you are smart but I am smarter,I have eyes everywhere"Leon replied.Ivy was speechless,she didn't even think that someone would be watching her every moves.she felt weak in her legs,this shows that she was really a slave."Well,it's not what y
Leon pushed the door open and they both sauntered into the room.Ivy struggled with him but he was stronger than her,it didn't take her long to surrender.she parted her mouth open and they kissed each other as they were lost in their own world.Leon's reason for kissing her was to annoy her and shut her up since he didn't know of any other way to do that but he found himself losing his insanity when their lips touched.her lips tasted like vanilla and he wanted more.He couldn't bring himself to stop anymore.he wanted to have a taste of her.this was the main reason they came across each other in the first place,he was attracted to her but she deceived him and he couldn't sleep with her again like he wanted to."It won't be a bad thing if I slept with her now".he thought to himself as he deepened the kiss,their tongues entwining with each other.Ivy felt weak in her legs,she was having a feeling which she couldn't explain but she loved it,she loved the taste of his lips on hers.Even tho
One week was goneIvy was working as usual,she tried her best to avoid Leon.they haven't been seeing or crossing each other's path like that after that kissing incident.Meanwhile Leon was in his office going through some files but he didn't see the particular document he was looking for.he took his telephone and dialed Ivy's office number but she didn't pick up.he used his phone and called her normal number but she didn't pick up.he wondered if she was ignoring him on purpose.If that is the case,then she needs to stop because she should set aside her feelings when she is working.He noticed that she was avoiding him since he kissed her and he understood her feelings so he didn't bother her but ignoring him at work is another case.He got up from his seat and walked out of his office to her office.When he reached there,she was in her office.he sighed before turning to leave but her phone beeped.he was taken over by curiosity to know who sent her message and what it was talking about
The message Raymond sent was."Hi Ivy,I just want to tell you that I have found a solution to your problem,I was able to raise the money you need to break the contract from your boss,it's more than enough,you can't believe how I was able to do that,you will be absolutely shocked and surprised,I think we need to meet so I can talk to you in person,then give you the money,I am so happy right now"Leon couldn't stop thinking this message,his heart was beating fast.he suddenly felt a deep hatred for Raymond.He knew this would not be a prank for him to send that message.he was going to lose Ivy if the debts was paid and he didn't want that to happen.He might have deleted the message but he knew that the both of them would surely talk about it later.If it was left to him,he would have seized Ivy's phone and locked her up so she won't contact Raymond again but she was a full grown woman and he didn't want her to hate him more.he might act cold towards her but he knew that he didn't want h
After work,Ivy met with Raymond at Zuma park.Ivy's mouth was wide open as Raymond handed her the brown envelope containing the money she needed to pay to Leon.She retreated her hands back as she didn't want to collect the money."How did you get this huge amount of money?I am not accepting this, Raymond what did you do?"she asked, saying she was shocked wouldn't be able to explain what she felt right now.Raymond sighed, crossing his arms across his chest he stared at Ivy who was still in disbelief.he didn't blame her for acting that way."I know you are surprised but don't you know me again?Do I look like a person who would do something illegal to get money?"he said to her and Ivy shook her head.She knew Raymond comes from a well to do family but raising a billion dollars so suddenly is impossible for them.she was sure that they could raise a million dollars but billion dollars is another thing to worry about."It seems like you don't want to be free yet"he said to her."I want to
When Ivy got home,she took her bathe and changed into a casual wear before going to the living room to wait for Leon to come back.After waiting for a while,it was already 11 on and he was not back yet.she went back to her room,changed into a nightwear and brushed her teeth before lying down on her bed,soon she was fast asleep.The alarm clock woke her up by 12 in the night.she switched off the alarm.Remembering that she had to talk to Leon,she wore her slippers and left her room.soon she was in Leon's room.She knocked on the door and she didn't hear any reply.she knocked for a while but there no reply,she wondered if he was back or he was already asleep.She was about to go when the door opened,she looked to see his him staring intently at her with a sleepy eyes.he was so cute,she gulped down her saliva nervously as she played with her fingers."I am sorry for disturbing you,I guess you are already asleep,I will talk to you tomorrow then"she said to him trying to leave but Leon's w
Leon called again,this time around Raymond took the phone from Ivy and picked it up."Please Mr,stop bothering my friend,she doesn't want to hear what you have to say after failing to meet up as discussed"Raymond said to Leon."Give back the phone to the owner,you are not the one I called,"Leon said to Raymond."Please don't call my friend again,you have done enough and we have had enough already"Raymond said, switching off the phone on him."You shouldn't have done that,I will call him back"Ivy said but Raymond took her phone from her."I will hold it for you now,if you don't plan on Saving yourself,I will do that for you,"Raymond said, grabbing her hands while they went to the car."I have to return back to work,"Ivy said to him."Which work?The one you don't get paid for,you are not going back to that man and that is final,"Raymond said to Ivy.Leon tried her number again but it was switched off,he threw his phone to the wall in anger.the hatred he had for Raymond increased.He had
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
