Tarquin became extremely worried, he thought she had been getting better but he was wrong, she had become more sick. The guilt he had been feeling increased, he couldn't help but blame himself for what was happening to his wife. He used to treat her terribly and make her bitter, now she had cancer and was going to die. The pain and everything must be too much for Ivy to bear, he felt so sorry for her. She should have left him and saved herself from all these problems. He should have just divorced her, he didn't know what to think anymore, he couldn't stop blaming himself for everything that was happening to her. Even though he hadn't caused the cancer, he still felt that it was his fault. All her suffering has to be his fault. "I know this news is hard for you to hear but that's it. I thought that she would improve but her health keeps depreciating probably because of the pregnancy or probably because of her body system" the doctor said, feeling sad for him. Tarquin's shoulders
Stella was petrified by the results, she didn't know the next step to take. She stared at the paper in her hand and rushed out of the hospital shaking, she entered her car and gazed at the results again. Beatrice had told her that her real daughter was stolen from her, stolen by one of the nurses who never returned to the hospital after that day. "So you're the daughter of my parents and you've returned for them to find out that you're their daughter!" Stella yelled like Ivy was sitting beside her. "Damn, you bitch! I won't share the love, money, and care of my parents with you. They can't love anyone apart from me, my mother can't find out about your existence, neither of my parents can know that you exist and I'll make sure of that!" Stella yelled and tore the results into shreds. Tears filled her eyes and threw the torn pieces into her glove box. She was simply an adopted daughter and they saw and loved her as a replacement for their loss, they loved her that much because the
"I'm sorry but the result is negative, your bone marrow doesn't match" The doctor replied. Tarquin's shoulders fell and his heart wrenched in pain, he was so confident that he would be the donor and relieve Ivy of whatever pain she was feeling. It wasn't easy to be a cancer patient. It not only causes pain and kills you slowly but makes you prey to other diseases. Emelia became sad, she thought that Tarquin would save Ivy but she was wrong. "I'm so sorry but it's not too late to find a donor, though her health has deteriorated she still has a month or more to live. You could find a donor before then" the doctor said, trying to encourage Tarquin. Tarquin sighed heavily and nodded. "Okay, we will find a donor soon. Thank you, doctor." "It's okay, I hope you do," the doctor replied. "You can also see her now because she's awake and has been demanding your presence," he added and walked away from there. Tarquin staggered backward, he felt weak again. He walked to the wall and leane
Tarquin shoved his tongue into her mouth and rolled it around. He swirled his tongue in her mouth making sure to explore every part of it. She tasted so good, even better than before. Maybe she tasted better because he had acknowledged and confessed his feelings for her, he didn't know. Ivy moaned softly into his mouth when he gently bit her lips, so gently that it felt like a press and she was enjoying the way his tongue kept roaming in her mouth. They hadn't kissed this deeply in a while and she missed it. "Mmm," She moaned when he pulled away before taking his tongue into her mouth again. He roamed his tongue back and forth in her mouth making moans again and again. The kiss wasn't just passionate but quite provocative, especially with how he kept brushing his tongue against hers and how he nipped on her lips from time to time. He went from twirling his tongue into her mouth to eating her lips, softly. The warmth of his mouth and his dkg6) soft breaths were making her arouse
Tarquin parted the kiss and kissed her chin. "I know that I might not look as pretty as before."Ivy said, feeling saddened by the change in her figure. Tarquin stopped kissing her and looked her in the eyes. "I don't care about your size or your shape, you look beautiful just the way you're and there's no mistaking that. Whether you're chubby or skinny, I don't mind either way because you're still the same person and I'll love you forever." Ivy smiled and kissed his lips. They resumed kissing and it lasted for a while before Tarquin removed his lips from hers and attached them to her chin, he went downwards and her head slowly went backward, allowing his lips to smooch her throat and around her neck. His soft lips went from side to side then back to the throat, then she felt his warm tongue on her skin and her lips parted allowing a soft moan to escape from it. She placed her hands on his shoulders and gripped them a little when his lips went back to her lips. "Take it off," Iv
They stayed in the position for a while but neither of them could sleep. "Are you sleeping?" Tarquin asked, wondering if she couldn't sleep because she wasn't attached to any drip which had some anesthesia for her pain. "No," Ivy replied and moved a little from him. She raised herself upwards and gazed at his face. "You can't sleep either." "No, I can't sleep either. I can't stop thinking of you" Tarquin said, making her cheeks flush red. Ivy blushed and turned her face away for a second. She couldn't believe that he just said that to her. "I'm not lying, I was thinking about you. I always think about you, do you know those times when I always came to you and had sex with you? Those memories aren't too nice but I always came because I couldn't stop thinking about you" Tarquin said, sincerely. Ivy looked at him and a smile formed on her lips. "That's supposed to be a good thing but I reacted in the wrong way. There's no need to constantly deny it because it's true. I couldn't st
Due to how heartbroken she was feeling, Morgan went to the club with Katherine to party and try to forget John but she couldn't instead, she was almost taken advantage of and her belongings were stolen.She returned to Katherine’s apartment the next day empty-handed. She was disturbed about her missing belongings. Her phone, some wads of money, and her national identification card were in it. She sat on a couch in the living room thinking of what to do.She was staying at her friend's place and hadn't decided to go back home."What should I do? My next interview requires my identification card and it is in less than a week," Morgan said, greatly worried.She picked up the phone to call Katherine but she refused to pick up after so many calls which made her give up. She laid back on the couch and didn't when she fell asleep.** Morgan stood beside the wardrobe in her room unmoving until he turned her to face him. It was the guy who stole from her. "I couldn't get my mind off you, t
Ivy suddenly laughed and looked away. "Why are you laughing? I'm dead serious when I say that I love you. It's because I mean it and I promise that nothing will ever change my love for you" Tarquin smiled and grasped her chin gently. He made her face him and then smooched her lips. Their lips made a cute sound as they separated. "I wasn't laughing because of your words but it feels so weird to hear it from you," Ivy laughed again. Tarquin laughed as well and placed his hand on her waist. "I think it's time for you to sleep, so let me sing you a lullaby." Ivy heard the word 'lullaby' and she stared in shock. "What did you just say? You want to sing for me?" Ivy inquired to confirm if she geared him correctly. "Yes, I want to sing a soft lullaby for you; so that you can sleep and stop teasing me. Tarquin answered and pouted his lips. Ivy stared at his lips and laughed harder, he looked so cute. "Okay, you can sing me a lullaby but I know that I would suffer insomnia after it"
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
