Leon opened the car and Ivy entered,he closed the door with force Making the door to make a loud noise and Ivy jolted in fear.she was really scared especially with the way Leon was behaving.It was not her fault that the party was ruined.why is he angry with her?.he should be mad at his girlfriend only and not herLeon put the car key in the ignition and the car started,he drove away with full speed.Looking at the way he was driving,Ivy freezed on the spot,he would surely get both of them killed if he continues to drive like that."Please slow down"she mustered up courage and said to him but he didn't say anything to her instead he increased the speedBeads of sweat appeared on her forehead,she closed her eyes as she tried hard to catch her breath.she would surely have a panic attack if he didn't stop.She could feel her heart failing her but she heard the sound of the door clicking open.she opened her eyes to see that they were already in the mansion.She heaved a sigh of relief,tea
The next day.News of what happened in the party was already all over the internet.the one getting ruined by it was Amora and this didn't sit well with her.Her followers has already gone down and people were bashing her in the internet for ruining Madam Heather's birthday party,she knew Leon had the power to stop the news from circulating earlier but he didn't do anything about it.maybe he knew that she would be the one it will affect the most,that's why he didn't do anything about it.This was seriously affecting her as many fashion industries she had a shoot with were dropping her.She glanced at her phone ringing continuously,it was Lizzy her manager in the agency she worked for.she picked it up."What kind of mess did you create for yourself?"Lizzy's voice was heard as soon as she put the phone to her ears."Calm down,I will do something about this"Amora said to her."You better do something about this because this is affecting our agency,we have lost a lot of money in Just a few
Amora was silent,her gaze was fixed on Kelvin as she anticipated what he had to say.she only hoped that it was something she could do."My request is quite simple"he said."What is it?"Amora who was impatient already asked."I want you to release a statement that will implicate Leon and his company,you were the only girlfriend he had that lasted this long so anything you say about him would be put into consideration of believing by people and this would affect him greatly"Kelvin said and Amora sighed.She didn't know why Kelvin was hell-bent of taking Leon down even though he knew that Leon was more powerful than him."I can't do what you are asking of me,I love Leon and I don't want him to be in trouble because of me"Amora said to Kelvin who let out a laugh."You love him but he doesn't love you, that is the reason it was so easy for him to dump you,he even allowed you to get ruined whilst he could have done something about it,I thought you are a smart woman,wake up,it's either you ge
She felt sick immediately,she felt the sudden urge to throw up.it was the video of her Making out with Kelvin and other men in different occasions.The caption also read that she has been cheating on Leon with his cousin brother while she was dating Leon.Sarah also made a video about what really happened in the party.the table was turned against Amora and Kelvin as people were on Leon's side.shock would not be able to explain what Amora felt when she was watching the video."Smack"was the sound of the slap Lizzy landed on her, sending her back to reality.she held her cheeks as she stared at Lizzy."We don't need you with us anymore,I will have the company's lawyer prepare the contract termination papers"Lizzy said to Amora who couldn't believe her ears.She wouldn't be able to get a decent modelling job elsewhere if she gets chased out by Lizzy whose modelling agency is the highest in the country.her career as a model will crumble."Please,I beg you, Don't do this to me"Amora pleaded.
Ivy was uncomfortable being around him now especially when she remembered what Sarah said about him and also the video about him and Amora.Leon also asked her to stay away from him.it's like everyone was warning her about him and this was not a good sign.she wondered if he was really drugged like he said in the interview,was he only trying to save himself by putting the blame on Amora?if so,he was really a big coward and he was not a good person.Ivy could Sense that he was tricky and she didn't like involving herself with that kind of people."I am very busy,I have a lot of things to do,I am sorry if I can't keep you company for you to know me more"she said trying to leave but Kelvin caught her hands.Ivy looked at him questioningly.thinking about it now,she was irritated with him especially with the way he keeps on making body contact with her when they barely know each other."I will take you home,"he said to her."I can manage"Ivy replied, retreating her hand from his hold."Thank
IVY'S POV.Tears couldn't stop flowing down my cheeks.I entered my bedroom and I closed the door behind me.I felt so terrible and selfish.I didn't have the strength to do anything again.I closed my eyes and soon I dozed off to sleep.The next day,I woke up early and went to work.the only thing on my mind was how to make it up to him.I won't be at peace till I make it up to him.I checked my phone to see an unread message.I opened the message.it was a message from him.it read Thus:"You are such a shameless prostitute,you should change your ways and stop flirting with men, that's the only way I can set you free,I want you to be a better person"I frowned after reading the message.What was the meaning of this?seems he can't stay a day without getting on my nerves.I don't blame him,I blame myself for wronging him.It was best if I ignored him, insulting people might be his only way of being happy.I will let him get away with this,I won't spoil his happiness for him but he needs to find
Leon was in a business meeting but he was restless.he kept on glancing at his phone to know whether Ivy had replied to his message but he would end up being disappointed at every glance he took at his phone.he clenched his fists in anger,that woman was really annoying.Just then,his phone beeped indicating that someone messaged him.his eyes crinkled into a smile.He checked his phone but his shoulders dropped in disappointment.it was not the message he expected.It was a message from Dave instead, he was asking him if he was okay.He looked at Dave who was looking at him from the other side of the table.He felt like hitting him."Do I not look okay to you?I should be the one asking you that, end this meeting and get the deal over with,I am tired of listening to their boring talks"he typed and sent the message to Dave before standing up.No one could be heard talking immediately he stood up from his chair."My personal assistant will represent me in this meeting,I need to be somewhere"H
"Mum,you don't understand,listen to me"Lucas tried to explain himself but Madam Heather didn't want to hear anything he had to say."You can't just wake up and decide the fate of my grand daughter,if your business is not doing well,you work hard for it,stop expecting everything to be easy for you"Madam Heather said to Lucas."Mum,listen to me first,I am not trying to sell her off,infact she will benefit from this marriage too,the man she is going to marry is filthy rich"Lucas said to Madam Heather."I don't want to listen to the crap you have to say,Sarah is human and she has feelings,she doesn't like the idea and you should respect her decision, don't treat her like she is an object,I know you don't care about her but I do care about her because she is my grand daughter and you have to tell me before making a decision concerning her besides I was the one that insisted you took her in when her mother died,I am also her legal guardian"Madam Heather said to Lucas who sighed through the
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
