Tarquin stood beside Ivy as they entertained more guests. He had been trying to dodge this but he knew he could not, in order not to raise suspicions, he had to walk side by side with Ivy to welcome the guests and exchange pleasantries with some personalities, most importantly, he had to introduce Ivy as his wife to them.

It was at least good that she appeared like a noblewoman of their class after being dressed as one which wouldn't raise questions among the guests in terms of where she is from and her family.

Ivy who followed him, like a puppy following its owner, could hardly breathe properly. Tagging alongside him as he introduced her to people who cared to know was the longest she had been in his presence since they got married, she knew he had to do what he was doing, showing her a little affection as he tried smiling at her whenever he introduced her to people but deep down, Ivy knew he was being forced to act that way with her.

She didn't even know he had forgiven her for what

    The wedding party came to an end without it being ruined by anyone as Mrs Caroline had feared from the onset but there was a problem on Ivy's part; the woman she saw Tarquin kissing on the beach at the back of the hotel."Who was she?" She had been asking herself as she stared at them from a distance. Earlier on when she saw Tarquin leaving, she had an instinct to follow him without knowing the reason why she should do so.She knew that if he found out that she was following him, he would get mad and might hurt her. She didn't even know he had forgiven her yet for what she did but Ivy kept the trail and continued following him until she saw a female figure heading towards Tarquin's direction.Before the female figure could sight her, she hid, luckily, her wedding party gown was black so it wasn't hard for her to blend in the dark and hide so well.Ivy watched the female figure walk towards Tarquin and hug him from behind, the rays of the moon giving light to their surroundings.Ivy wan

    "Ok, ma," Ivy replied and Mrs Caroline finally raised her head to smile at Ivy. "The maids have packed your pieces of luggage, you can leave now. I'll also take my leave." Mrs. Caroline informed. A bitter smile surfaced on Caroline's face but she gritted her teeth and tried to hide it. "Yes, ma," Ivy replied to Mrs. Caroline who began to leave the hotel. Ivy also followed the maid who began to lead her toward the parked car. Ivy got in after biding Mrs. Caroline goodbye She fell into deep thoughts thinking about what she'd do and how she would face the two siblings who were nothing but a bone stuck in her neck.Ivy and Tarquin are more like enemies than married couples while Morgan and Ivy are more of longtime enemies, how's she going to live in that house? "Madam, we have arrived here." The driver who was driving Ivy home suddenly announced which woke Ivy from her thoughts. "Okay," Ivy replied with a sigh and got down from the car. Her heart began to pound in fear. She didn't

    Ivy frowned slightly and stared at the Tarquin and Emma, but none of them paid her attention even when she sat down. It was as if Tarquin and Emma didn't even see her."Good morning." Ivy decided to greet Tarquin since she and Tarquin weren't just ordinary strangers; they were now bound together by marriage. Tarquin finally raised his head after hearing Ivy's greeting. He stared at Ivy's face but after doing so, he lowered his head and didn't say anything. Ivy frowned at Tarquin's disrespect. Not only did he kick her out to sleep in the guest room, there was another woman in the house, and now he's even ignoring her greeting. "May I know who she's?" Ivy asked while staring at the both of them coldly. Emma finally raised her head and smirked evilly. Instead of replying to Ivy's question, Emma moved closer to Tarquin and placed a kiss on his cheeks boldly to flaunt her ownership. Ivy gasped at Emma's bold actions. She stood up and pointed at the two angrily. "How dare you...""How d

    Tarquin got downstairs and wondered why he felt a sudden emotion when she cried and stood up for herself. It was quite insolent of her to talk back but he suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Guilt for treating her badly and bringing Emma to the house. She was right about one thing, he forced her into the marriage and the least he could do was respect her. Tarquin halted his steps, closed his eyes a little, and pondered on more of her words. Was he being too cruel to her? Was he acting out of proportion and becoming more like a monster? Those questions had never crossed his mind before but her reaction touched a part of him that had always been left frigid for a long time. He sighed and snapped his eyes open. He went downstairs and met with Emma and Morgan. "Did you teach her a lesson?" Morgan asked spitefully. She was waiting for more screams and loud tears but then it suddenly stopped. She was happy when Tarquin went upstairs to teach Ivy a good lesson but seeing the calm expression

    "Tarquin, did anything happen between you and Ivy?" Emma asked softly while she stared at Tarquin who had just returned from his company. Ever since the episode with Ivy, Tarquin had begun to act strange; he had even scolded Morgan when she asked him questions, and that made her anxious.Emma had returned to the country because she wanted Tarquin to be hers, and she won't let a worthless slut like Ivy spoil her plan. Tarquin remembered Ivy's crying eyes in an instant, and it made his heart pang slightly in guilt. He shifted away from Emma's gaze and pretended that nothing was wrong. "What do you mean?" He replied calmly Emma's eyes flashed with hatred and her fist clenched in anger. She could see Tarquin's dodgy eyes which meant that something must have happened between them. She pretended to smile. "It's nothing. I just felt that you changed a lot and you've been quite down. Is it because Ivy challenged you? I think she really had no respect for you. Didn't you clarify in the cont

    Ivy's face turned cold at Tarquin's words. If he didn't want to eat, he could have gone straight to the point. How can he be so rude? She took a deep breath and stubbornly disagreed. "I'm your wife, I have the right to care about you." She replied unhappily not wanting to lose to him. Tarquin's face turned cold. How can she talk to him so rudely?Emma scoffed. She kept on enjoying how Ivy was acting because in that way Tarquin would get fed up with Ivy, and he'd break up with her soon. "Contract wife you mean?" She ridiculed. Ivy's face flushed with embarrassment, but she stubbornly gave a reply. "Who gave a mistress the right to interrupt when the husband and wife are talking? Superstar Emma don't you have any shame? You're living in a couple's home, and you're instigating hatred between them, how wonderful are you!" Ivy chided. Emma's eyes widened in hatred. Her body trembled, and her hatred increased for Ivy. "You bitch!" Emma cried out."Talking about a mistress who's living in

    "Tarquin" Ivy suddenly smiled and wiped her tears away. "What's the reason for that stupid smile on your face?" Tarquin raised a question, displeased by her smile. Though she looked beautiful with such an excited smile, he refused to acknowledge it. "You're here to apologize for pushing me, right?" Ivy questioned with her face full of anticipation. Tarquin burst into a mocking laughter. Ivy was stunned by it and wondered why he was laughing at her. The laughter lasted for a couple of seconds and he stopped. "Apologize? Why would I apologize to you when you kicked Emma out of this house and you remain unremorseful about it!" Tarquin yelled and pointed angrily at her. Ivy's face fell, she thought he cared and had realized his mistake but she was so wrong. This man standing in front of her didn't care about her. He wasn't concerned about her feelings or anything that had to do with her. She wondered why he hated her so much. Ivy stared at him, her eyes filled with hurt. Tarquin n

    Ivy was hungry as well and it was because of the trouble with Tarquin and Emma, she didn't have dinner. She cooked the food and deserved to eat it, therefore she went downstairs but to her surprise, she met Tarquin inside. He was not just standing there but eating the food which he had refused earlier. What was more shocking was how he consumed the food, he ate like his life depended on it. He even failed to notice her presence because he was too engrossed in eating, therefore she decided to surprise him as well. Tarquin whose body had stiffened, slowly turned to see Ivy. He thought it was his imagination but he was wrong. The spoon dropped from his hand and he shamefully managed to chew the food in his mouth. "Tarquin, why can't you let go of your pride? Sometimes humility could save a person from a lot of mortification like the one you're facing right now. All I did was invite you for dinner not like I asked you to fuck me" Ivy said with a hint of sarcasm in her last sentence.

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

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

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.
