Emma was inside and didn't see Ivy's face because Frederick came to kiss her.Fredrick had been her lover since the day that they fucked each other. She had been using him to satisfy her urges while being discreet about it."Answer the person at the gate," Emma instructed, uninterested in speaking with anyone.She was still a fugitive and had to be careful."Who is there?" Fredrick put his face close to the camera and saw Ivy. She looked pretty to him."I'm your neighbor and my house is down there. I came with some cookies to welcome you to this estate." Ivy said from outside."Okay," Hecmuttered and looked back to tell Emma but she had already gone to her room.He sighed and decided to answer Ivy. He left the house and went to the gate. He had been warned not to allow anyone inside.As he opened the gate, Ivy sauntered to his front with a big smile on her lips."Good morning." He greeted me."Morning, I'm sorry for disturbing you but I had brought something for you as a warm gesture
Ivy's body trembled as she picked up the torn pieces, her eyes instantly filled with tears. These were her only hope of finally meeting Tarquin.She wanted to see the love of her life, she was so happy because of it. She found the strength to make those cookies because of how excited she felt.Her eyes slowly moved from the torn plane tickets to Stella's face."How—" Ivy's breath shuddered and tears dropped from her eyes. "Why would you do this to me?"Stella laughed in response."Is that a question? You know how much I loathe you."."Loathe? I'm supposed to despise you because you had the love and care of my parents while I wallowed in poverty and struggle. I had no one to protect me." Ivy sobbed."This was my only chance of meeting the man who must think that I'm dead. He's suffering probably from the guilt that he wasn't able to save me and our babies. You had no right to do this to me." She shook her head in tears."You have no right to deny my children the opportunity to meet the
Ivy's heart filled with joy as she heard the voice of her husband. He seemed to not recognize her voice instantly because she was using Emelia's phone and Tarquin wouldn't imagine that his dead wife would call.Ivy wanted to speak again but then she heard a woman's voice."Sir, I mean Tarquin." the woman(Annabel) called."Yes, is there a problem?" Tarquin asked over the phone, responding to the woman."I wanted to ask you about your thoughts on our wedding, I have no idea what venue we would use and you know that I don't have friends to make these choices for me." She said, sounding shy."I'm on a call, once I'm done, we can choose something," Tarquin replied.Ivy's lips trembled as she listened to their conversation over the phone, no one had to interpret anything they said. It was evident that Tarquin was getting married."Hello, Emelia?"Ivy brought down the phone from her ear and hung up on him. Her heart had been shattered."Ivy, what's wrong? Why didn't you say anything to him?"
John pulled her inside by the waist and closed the door with one hand. When she kissed him, he couldn't control himself. She was still as beautiful as before and no matter how much he denied it, still had feelings for her, his heart raced when he saw her. The day he insulted her, he couldn't stop thinking of her that night. The tears streaming from her cheeks hurt him but he found it hard to forget the fact that she cheated on him. She might have done it spitefully but it didn't make much difference because he was still heartbroken by it. As he kissed her lips, she opened his mouth for him and he took his tongue into her mouth. The dash of his tongue into her mouth brought this unique taste that he hadn't had for a long time. Her mouth seemed to taste better, probably because they'd been apart. Morgan was so happy that John had kissed her back, it made her so delighted that he was willing to attempt to forgive and accept her. She was eager to have his cock in her and become his
Ivy's heart filled with joy as she heard the voice of her husband. He seemed to not recognize her voice instantly because she was using Emelia's phone and Tarquin wouldn't imagine that his dead wife would call.

It was evident that Tarquin was getting married. "Hello, Emelia?" Ivy brought down the phone from her ear and hung up on him. Her heart had been shattered. "Ivy, what's wrong? Why didn't you say anything
Tarquin's eyes widened, he was quite uncomfortable with the hug, he slowly pulled away from her grasp and forced a smile. "There should be limits to our closeness." Tarquin cautioned and stood to his feet. "You can take care of the rest of the stuff or meet Mom to help you, she's good at those things." "I don't want your mom. I know that you might think that this is a plot of mine for us to get closer but it's not. I'm just lonely and it's not fair that my new friend and future husband neglect or ignore me." Annabel said and acted like she was sad. "I'm so unhappy about this. I'm not in love with you but at least, we can be there for each other." She muttered and bowed her head. Tarquin gazed at her for a few seconds and sighed. He sat back on the couch and nodded. "Alright, let's plan this together." He simply agreed because he felt sorry for her. There was no affection but rather sympathy. "Tarquin, I don't know if this is too much to ask but I want an engagement party." She
Morgan's eyes filled with hate and irritation. "Who's at the door?" John asked and tried standing but Morgan told him not to bother himself. Morgan opened the door and Bella was taken aback to see her. Morgan stepped out of the apartment and closed the door behind her. "Why are you here?" Morgan asked with her hands folded to her boobs. "I should be asking you that," Bella replied, shamelessly. "I thought you both had broken up." Bella had seen John while she was inside her car, she followed him and found out that he lived there. Since Morgan was out of her way, she had come to apologize for her past deeds. By apologizing, she would become close to him and creep into his heart. She still loved him and nothing was going to change that but seeing Morgan here ruined her plans. "That question should be directed at you after you ruined our relationship, you still have the guts to show your stupid face." Morgan scowled at her.Bella got the urge to scratch her face with her nails but
Ivy was among the guests that came, though she didn't have an invitation card, she was allowed inside.She found out about Tarquin's engagement through the television. She was so angry that he had the guts to make his stupidity public.She might be dead to him but it still made her upset that he couldn't wait for a whole year before fucking or marrying another woman, it was so disappointing.Taking a deep breath, Ivy searched for Tarquin, willing to see him at all costs.Still looking around, her phone vibrated and rang in her hand. Ignoring the call, she walked among the guests, searching for her husband who seemed to be missing or probably out of her reach.Her phone rang again and she frowned. She checked the caller and it was Emelia, she desired to end the call but thought about the twins and decided to answer."Emelia.""Ivy, one of the twins is having a high fever. I don't know what to do." Emelia panicked over the phone.Ivy's eyes widened and gasps escaped her lips, she turned
FOUR YEARS LATER.Time flew by faster than anyone could expect. Four years ago was Morgan's wedding with John but now, they are parents of a three-year-old child, Khloe who was a friend of Tessa. They were present with Ivy in her orphanage, she began the orphanage three years ago and she named it after Ivan. The orphanage had children in it, they were well-fed and always happy. They loved Ivy so much because she always brought gifts anytime she left her office to see them. Ivy had people supervising the kids and their education. She also owned a school that one of Morgan's friends was running. The school was where children in the orphanage went to and it was also close to them. Ivy had given many children to parents who were willing to adopt and she made sure to do proper investigations before giving a child to any parent. She still tried to visit the child in those parent's houses to see how the child was faring, and if the kid was being mistreated or not. Just in three years, t
Months later.John and Morgan had suspended their wedding for a long while because of Ivan's death. They wanted Ivy to be in her right mind when everything was planned.It was the day of the wedding and Ivy was with a makeup artist who was dolling Morgan up.Morgan was already wearing her wedding dress and it was really beautiful. Ivy had helped her choose it and she was also chosen as her bride's maid."The makeup is turning out so beautiful." Ivy smiled, looking at Morgan who was truly gorgeous.Everything made her glow, from her dress to her hair and makeup, Morgan was perfect."Ivy, where is Tessa?" Morgan asked and opened their lips a little for the red lipstick to be added."She's with your mom who has been more than excited about everything," Ivy replied."I don't even know who's getting married between her and me," Morgan said, causing them to laugh."Stay still." The make-up artist instructed after laughing."Yeah, your mom is so sweet. When Tarquin and I decided to redo our
Tarquin was rushed to the hospital and so were the kids. Ivy refused to be admitted, so they only ran some checkups on her and treated her burns.After the treatment, she went to the waiting room and cried, being concerned about her husband and children.Ivy's hands were on her chest, she was feeling so scared and agitated. Tarquin was in danger as well as the twins, she was afraid of losing any of them."Please survive for my sake, please don't leave me." Ivy cried and her hands transferred to her face. "I love you all so much, don't leave me. I won't be able to bear it.""Please, don't leave me." Ivy cried and coughed boisterously.She grew up without a family, she thought her life was perfect till she met Tarquin who turned her world upside down. The arrogant and cold imbecile who became the most wonderful person in her life.The kids he gave her were the only reason why she didn't kill herself, why she didn't stop striving to stay alive. They were the reason why she wanted to meet
The Jones' home.Tarquin had called Ivy when he stayed a while in the office. It was unusual for her to not answer his calls. He called her a few more times but then he got no response, he ran like a madman to the house.Reaching there, he beeped his car horn numerous times for the gates to be opened but nothing happened.Tarquin got out of his car and went to the gate. To his horror, as he pushed it, it opened without much effort.He went inside and saw the guards on the floor, dead. His heart pounded greatly in his chest and it felt like his world was going to crumble before his face.Quickly, he ran into the house but there was no one. He saw the drops of blood and panicked the more."Shit, I shouldn't have left them alone!" Tarquin cried out and gripped his hair in regret.He wanted to stay back with his family, at least one more day before resuming work but he listened to Ivy. He thought that she was feeling a bit suffocated around him, that's why she told him to leave.He respec
Warehouse.Annabel took them to an abandoned warehouse that used to belong to her family. She tied Ivy up in that place and placed the twins on the bare and cold floor.Ivy didn't try defending herself too much because she was scared that Annabel would do something terrible to her children.The twins were crying on the floor and Annabel was annoyed with their cries."Oh shut up! Little brats." She spat bitterly. "It's because of you and these fools that I wasn't able to complete my mission."Ivy wanted to speak but her mouth was sealed, so she made muffled sounds."You wanna talk? What do you want to say, do you desire to beg me for your life or say your last prayer, which one?" Annabel asked with a smirk.Ivy nodded disorientedly, she had to say something, anything that could save her life and that of her children. She loved her kids so much and she preferred dying than seeing them get hurt.Annabel decided to fulfill her wish and make fun of her. She sauntered to Ivy who was tied to
The Jones' home.It was early in the morning and Ivy woke up early to make breakfast for Tarquin and herself but to her surprise, Tarquin was already in the kitchen making breakfast."That smells yummy." Ivy grinned and walked to him."Thank you, I'm making it with lots of love," Tarquin said, affectionately.Ivy smiled and pecked him on the cheek. He gave her a boyish smile and continued cooking."This is going to be delicious and you're going to lick your fingers once you dig in," Tarquin said."You mean that I would lick my plate till there's not even a single drop of sauce on it?" She raised an eyebrow, waiting for his reply."Yeah, there will also be a certain urge to even eat the plate too." Tarquin teased her.Ivy laughed and smacked his back playfully."Stop exaggerating."Tarquin chuckled and leaned closer to kiss her lips. Finally reaching her, he pressed his lips on hers and they both smiled."Are you feeling comfortable with that thing in you?" Tarquin asked, referring to
California.John and Morgan were walking on the side of the road, their hands were locked and they were talking.Morgan had been working for more than a week in the bank and it wasn't easy but he was already getting used to it."I hope no one mistreats you there, they have the right to hurt my baby," John said, feeling a little worried about her.Morgan smiled at him and swung his hands."They treat me well, especially my colleagues. Although I've met some impatient customers, everything has been fine. One of the colleagues collected my number and added me to a WhatsApp group, it's been so much fun.""I'm glad that you're enjoying it there. '' John beamed.They hadn't seen each other since she started working, so he hadn't had the chance to properly ask about her work experience."Morgan, if anyone harasses you there. Just tell me and I will dash there to bash their faces." John said and she laughed."I trust you. I know the lengths you can go for me and I can assure you that I've not
Italy~ Florence.Emma was eating with Fredrick, he had been a constant visitor to majorly satisfy her urge but he liked her.He had not related his feelings to her but he planned to."I don't feel like eating anymore, I don't have an appetite." Emma sighed and dropped her spoon.Since she found out about Ivy being alive, She had not been happy since then. It made her sad that her enemy was alive, she hated Ivy so much because she had ruined her plans from the beginning.It was because of Ivy that Tarquin became a little distant. It was also because of Ivy that she went to prison. If she hadn't intervened then Tarquin would have been paying for her crimes."Damn her!" Emma shrieked and banged her fists on the table, she had this anger surfing in her every time.She was like a volcano that kept erupting without warning."Damn who? What are you talking about?" Fredrick asked.He knew exactly what she, speaking about he only feigned ignorance."It's none of your business, I just need you,
Annabel, who was behind a tree, looked away from where Ivy was."You have guards, that was a clever move from Tarquin, a really smart one." her smirk slowly changed into a frown.It wouldn't be wise for her to contact anyone other than Emma. It was only Emma that she contacted when she escaped from the police.Annabel had overheard Morgan panicking about the coffee, this made her incredibly suspicious about their knowledge of her deeds.To be safe, she decided to leave the house, a night before the wedding.She didn't call Emma at that time but waited for the next day to see what would happen. She entered a cab and told the driver to stay a little bit far from her house.It was surprising to see the cops at the house and John with them. She had made a good decision by running away.Shelodged into a hotel, wore a disguise, and also used a fake identity.After a while, she started monitoring Tarquin and to her shock, she saw Ivy.Ivy was alive. She never expected it to turn out like tha
