Semua Bab After Divorce, I Return As CEO : Bab 101 - Bab 110

The first thing Ivory noticed when she woke up the following morning, was how warm she felt, and the second, was that she was not lying on the sofa, but a bed and the final thing, was the weight on her waist and the warm that was radiating from it.Her eyes flew open and she attempted to turn, but the moment she did, she met a pair of grey orbs, staring right at her.“Good morning, V.” Lucien greeted with a smile, but that was not what had Ivory frozen.She stared, and stared and then, her brain finally caught up and she jumped out of the bed, pointing a finger at him and shouting, “Wha-what were you doing, lying beside me? And how…how did I get here?”Lucien sat up, his tousled hair accentuated the innocent look at adorned his facial expression, right before a grin was stretched across his lips, clearly finding her reaction amusing.“Calm down, V.” He began, a yawn escaping him. “You were having a hard time on the couch, nightmares I presume, so I moved you. Hope that’s not a problem

Lucien stepped out of the bathroom and the first thing that caught his eyes was his phone with a few missed calls from Ivory.Picking it up, he couldn’t help but frown. Why would she call him so many times.Had something happened?A feeling of unease washed over him. What if it was serious? What if something had happened to her?He quickly dialed her number, but the phone rang. It was ringing, but yet, Ivory was not picking up.That only made him grow more uneasy.But just as he was about to call back again, another call came through and as he looked at the number, his frown deepened.Why were they calling now? He wondered, feeling agitated just at the sight of the number.“What?” He snapped, answering the call and listening to what the person on the other end had to say.He was quiet for a little while, but the next time he spoke, he sounded even more agitated.“You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me!” He hissed. “Are you all so God damn incompetent that you can’t handle one thing withou

Waking up twice in one day, wasn’t an odd occurrence for Ivory, but waking up and finding herself bound to a chair, her hands tied behind her back, was certainly odd.And even more, seeing the person responsible, sitting across from her and smiling sinisterly, was something Ivory could not have predicted.“So,” Thomas began. “You’re finally awake.”Ivory looked at him, her facial expression was unreadable, but the look in her eyes, spoke volumes.“I must say, you’re one crazy bastard.” She said, sounding more confident than even she had expected.“Kidnapping me? What do you hope to gain from this?” She asked.“Revenge,” Thomas answered immediately. Getting up, he walked off towards a corner of the room.Now that Ivory’s eyes was adjusting to the lighting in the room, she could make out the outline of a bed and… something tall hidden under a white cloth, positioned in front of the bed.“You firing me, me being arrested, that damaged my image, so much so that I can’t even get a single j

Half way through the ride, Ivory started whimpering and moving around, desperately trying to get rid of the cloth covering her… contributing to the heat that was already swallowing her.As Gadreel watched her struggle, he felt an inexplicable need to help. He had no idea why or how, but it was clear the urge was there.“Ivory,” He called out and reached over to touch her cheek as if being led by instinct.But as soon as he noticed this, he stopped and instead, reached for the top of her head and petted it gently.She stilled, and for a second, he thought she was going to wake up. However, just as the thought had occurred, her struggle continued.Right about that time, the car pulled to a stop and Ezekiel got out of the driver’s seat and opened the back passenger’s door.“Sir, we’ve arrived.”Pulling Ivory closer, Gadreel stepped out of the car, but the house in front of him, was vastly different from the one he usually stayed at.It was a modern built and designed 6 bedroom Manor, loc

The better half of her night was peaceful, but soon, the nightmares began.Like a reoccurring theme, Ivory found herself back at her foster home, enduring disgusting looks from a man she was meant to call her foster father and his hands which always seemed to find it’s way towards her.She felt disgusted, but amongst all, afraid, after all, she was only but a child, fifteen years old at that time, with no one to turn to.Like a haunting memory, it repeated, over and over again and every single time, she woke up feeling like her world was caving in.But this time, it was different.Unlike all the other times, where the darkness would greet her, a pair of arms had pulled her in and a hand was running through her hair, whispering words that sounded oddly familiar.“Don’t worry, you’re safe.”Those words were enough to end her nightmare and her dreams soon returned to being pleasant.When morning came, she finally opened her eyes, only to find the bed empty.She sat up gently, and looked
