∆IVORY∆"Pearl, I'll tell you everything later," I tried to calm her first, however Jessica isn't ready to believe me, "You must be bluffing, grandpa would never say that, you're joking, aren't you?" I shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant, despite holding back a turmoil of emotions in my heart, "If you can't believe me, why don't you ask Grandpa by yourself? None are stopping you, right?" Jessica clenched her fist glaring at me. "That’s impossible, I'll not believe you, he would never...." "Oh, but he did," I cut in smoothly, keeping the hair that disturbing on my face, behind my ear, "One more thing, if you think that I'll just sit back and let you people manipulate me into giving up my hardwork, you’re sorely mistaken, those foolish days were gone."Sarah looked furious at me, "Ivory, do you think you can just run away like this?" Bernard’s face twisted in anger as expected, but before they could say anything, I stood up."Now, what I'm trying to say is...." I said, brushing i

∆NO POV∆"Thump... Thump...." Pearl stomped her foot against the floor wantedly to grab the attention of Ivory, but Ivory didn't respond, the forks and spoons falling down one by one, yet Ivory didn't even turn around.Looking at Ivory's unbothered nature, Pearl's frustration increased.The air in the room was heavy with tension and frustration, but neither Pearl nor Ivory was the type to sit in silence and sulk.Giving up on silent war, Pearl walked to Ivory and stood with her hands on her hips, the annoyance in her face is quite evident, "Do you even know what you're doing?" She shouted, glaring at Ivory, who was sitting on the couch, flipping through a stack of papers.Ivory let out a dramatic sigh, not even bothering to look up. "I'm working, can’t you see that? Do you want me to take you for an eye checkup or what?"Pearl rolled her eyes so hard that Ivory was sure they almost disappeared into the back of her head. "Ivory, do you think I’m joking?"Ivory finally glanced up, wit

∆NO POV∆"Let go of her hand," Alexander said in a furious tone, shoving Eric's hand away as he settled beside Ivory on the couch, Eric rolled his eyes, "It's not like her hand is going to melt just because I touched, right?" Alexander gritted his teeth, as if he mouthed something, the tension in the room thickened, a palpable wave of unease washing over them, as both Eric and Alexander were exchanging glances with furiousness.Ivory’s heart raced looking at the tension filled room, she could feel the heat rising in Alexander’s cheeks, his protective instincts are quite evident."He must be jealous that Eric is holding someone's hand other than him," she thought to herself with a small smirk dancing on her lips despite the situation, "No wonder he looked so furious!" Alexander turned to her, his expression softened slightly as soon as his eyes met her, but the frustration remained the same. "What are you both speaking about?""Nothing," Ivory replied quickly, her voice light but la

∆NO POV∆"Are you sure?" Ivory asked, with a voice filled with uncertainty, as she couldn't believe that the great Alexander Kingston is so eager to marry her.Alexander nodded firmly. "I've never been more sure in my life." As soon as the call connected, he let Berlin to know everything and, instructing him to bring the contract immediately to the location sent by him.After ending the call, Alexander turned to Ivory. "Don't worry, I'll not let Jacob to marry you, that'll never happen, the one who is going to marry you is only me." Eric cleared his throat reminding Alexander it's not only him in the room alone with her, the other two people also present.Ivory gave a small nod, still trying to make her tiny mind to understand his words.Suddenly, he handed her a platinum card. She frowned, staring at it in confusion. "What’s this for?" She asked while looking at it carefully with amusement filled eyes, the card in hands looking so simple but she felt like it weighed a thousand p

∆IVORY∆"I hate this!" Pearl huffed in frustration, as we stepped into the bridal showroom, her frustration evident in every step.I'm also frustrated just like her, but we can't do anything, "Calm down, Pearl, let’s just get this over with and we can leave quickly." She glared at me, but followed me inside, it's one of the popular bridal showrooms of the city, no ordinary people can come here.Looks like Mrs. Valeria did everything to book a slot here for us.The moment we entered, Mrs. Valeria rushed toward me as if she had been waiting for this exact moment. "Oh dear! I knew you’d come, I’ve been waiting for you! You're finally here!"I forced a small smile, not bothering to reply, as she no longer holds the same respect as before in my heart.Pearl, however, had no such restraint like me, "So, is she going to be doing the bridal shopping with you, Mrs. Valeria?"If there's someone who can be sarcastic with a sweet tone, it'll be obviously Pearl, she deserves all kinds of awards f
