{Cameil} I decided to pay my mother a visit. It had been a while since I last saw her, and in the email she sent, she mentioned she'd been trying to reach me with no success. So, I thought it was finally time to go see her. “Madam, Miss Cameil is here!” I heard the maid announce. Almost immediately, Mom rushed out of the kitchen and threw her arms around me, holding me tightly. “It’s been such a long time, my beautiful daughter! How have you been?” she exclaimed, her arms still wrapped around me. I could feel just how much she’d missed me—especially since she hadn’t been able to reach me for a while. Once we were settled, she handed me a cup of coffee. “What’s going on with you lately, Cameil?” she asked while sipping hers. “I’ve been trying to get in touch with you for days. I called over and over again, but none of the calls went through. That’s why I ended up sending that email to the Steel's account.” I accidentally dropped my cup back onto the saucer. “You’re right, Mot
~IVY “Prepare the documents, Rach. I will be heading home soon…” I said to Rach over the phone as I went through some of the files. As I was about to hang up, Rach spoke up hastily. “Your grandfather is here, Ivy. He said he wants to speak with you urgently. So, he is on his way to your office!” “Okay. Thank you!” I hung up, rolling my eyes in curiosity. Grandfather hardly visits me in this company. In fact ,he hardly comes here. So, I guess he came for something crucial indeed! “Ivy my dear!” The door went open. It was Grandfather. I quickly shut the door before hugging Grandpa. “I thought you said you would be out of town for some days and that your trip will be starting today. Won't you be late for the schedule?” “I was on my way to the airport when I dropped to see you. It was something serious, so I thought of telling you myself!” He said, making me all curious on why he has to say such a thing. I dropped the files I held. “Something crucial, like what?” “It's not tha
~IvyGrandpa had left the country for the States shortly after informing me about the woman who came asking for my childhood pictures.As the one at the center of this strange puzzle, I had every reason to be concerned—especially when the truth behind it all was still a mystery.With a soft sigh, I snapped my laptop shut and reached for my palm-sized makeup kit. I gently rubbed my lips, then powdered my face with practiced ease.While I was still dabbing at my cheeks, the door creaked open.I tilted the mirror slightly and caught a familiar reflection. Ethan.He was standing right behind me, a teasing smile spreading across his lips.“And where exactly is my beautiful Ivy heading off to that she needs to add extra layers of charm?” he asked, strolling toward me.I let out a faint chuckle. “Ethan, not now. I’m always beautiful. You seem to forget that too often.”Wrapping his arms around my waist from be
~IvyWhen Ethan’s gaze locked with mine, his words struck a chord deep within me. I hated to admit it, but he was right—I needed to give him time to live up to his promise.He vowed to protect me and stay by my side till the end. But how could he do that if I didn’t allow him the chance?I blinked twice at him and a soft smile crept onto my lips. “Fine!” I exclaimed. “You can come along, Ethan. Honestly, there's no better way to protect me than this.”He grinned and gently clasped my hands. “Thank you, Ivy,” he said gratefully. “We should get going now. I don’t think you want us to be late, do you?”A quiet laugh escaped my lips. Ethan could be unbelievable sometimes.*****Inside the car, Ethan insisted on driving. I didn’t try to talk him out of it—you know how he is. Once he sets his mind on something, he goes through with it. So I let him be the driver—our driver. Besides, he’s pretty good at it.As we headed towards Miss Sherry’s Estate, Ethan brought up a conversation.“What wil

The woman I had questioned turned away without another word, leaving me in a state of stunned silence. At that moment, Ethan glanced at me, his face mirroring my confusion.“What did that woman just say? That Miss Sherry is dead?” he asked, his voice laced with disbelief.I gave a simple nod.Resting his hand on his waist, Ethan shook his head slowly. “If she’s dead, then who asked Grandfather for those images?” he muttered, eyes narrowing in bafflement. “She supposedly died two weeks ago, and Grandfather only met with that woman today. That doesn’t add up. If Miss Sherry’s dead, then who exactly sent that woman to him?”“Exactly, Ethan!” I turned toward him, eyes blazing with suspicion. “Nobody in this family would ever request my photograph. They loathe me. If anyone's searching for those pictures, I’d bet it’s one of my enemies.”“You’re saying someone’s watching you?” Ethan caught on immediately.I nodded again. “Yes. I feel like someone’s tracking my every move. And whoever that
~Ivy With my left hand on my cheek, I stared up to see the person who had slapped me. I wasn't surprised when I saw Claudia– Miss Sherry's only daughter. She hasn't changed at all, her tall height, slim posture and cat eyes, all plugged on my body with anger. They were filled with contempt which I could tell is capable of swallowing a whole nation.As we looked at each other with enraged sight, the attention of other guests at the wake was already drawn. They fixed their concentration on us, their eyes flashing in anticipation.Claudia didn't care.She pointed her fingers at me.“You of all the people should be the last person to show her face at my Mom's Wake!” Her voice rose in anger. “You are the sole cause of her death. You are the reason why she died, so what's the essence of showing your disgusting face here?” She wasn't getting any calm.I quickly dropped my hands from my face, forcing myself not to get annoyed by her action but that Ivy who used to be soft hearted is gone. L
IvyWhen we got to the car, I pulled off my glasses, trying to cool myself. I thought I would end whatever rift I had with Late Miss Sherry, especially now that she is gone but her annoying daughter wouldn't stop interfering in things that don't even concern her!That's why she ended up creating such a huge scene out there.As I arranged my hair which was already rough, the car door opened and Ethan took his seat.I waited for a while, hoping that the engine would start off but for minutes the car hasn't even started talk of moving.I stopped dressing my hair on the mirror and turned to Ethan.“Why aren't you driving already, Ethan?” I questioned, rolling my eyes in discomfort. “Is it until that crazy woman sees us here and creates Part Two of her Drama that you would finally get moving?”I thought my words would make a change but Ethan was quiet. His gaze was cold and seethed in anger. Noticing his anger, I reached for his face, caressing it softly. “What's the problem, Ethan?” I as
~IvyI stood there between two men who were desperate to have me. Ethan held my left hand tightly, and Lysander held my right hand with the same energy. I could see the determination in their eyes and it was almost as if they would kill each other right there Lysander's trembling eyes, gritting teeth and seethed face. Ethan's energized rage, clenched fists and villainous eyes– it all told their unwillingness to leave me.After the scene suffered from silence for almost five minutes, Ethan spoke up.“Ivy is leaving with me. And don't try to stop us!” He turned, still holding me. He attempted to walk out but Lysander held me tighter. My movement was stopped halfway and it was because of Lysander's tight hold.Ethan walked back, his face still full of anger, he said to Lysander. “Why is it so difficult for you to stop meddling in my affairs with Ivy? Just get your stupid self out of our lives already!”“Like I said, Ethan. I won't allow Ivy to go with you. She said she needs her priva
~IvyLysander started the car and drove off. Though it was hard, I couldn't stop myself from looking at the side mirror of the car to see Ethan on his knees shedding tears. Tears almost dropped from my eyes. No, tears dropped from my eyes.As I watched Ethan crying on his knees calling out my name, I couldn't hold my tears from falling off.I can't imagine that I chose to go with Lysander instead of Ethan.Ethan is the person I love, not Lysander. Even sitting with him inside the same car irritates my body. His face annoys and everything about him just makes my body boil.I guess this is all part of my plan to get Claudia out of my way and this plan of mine will also make Ethan get over Claudia. And at the same time, I will break Lysander's heart.I blinked countless times, trying to prevent the tears from falling off my eyes.Lysander had broken my heart before by cheating on me with Cameil. I think it's high time I also break his Heart!I will make him believe that I love him. I wil
