Chapter 141 Her Trouble Had A Name.

Ivory felt herself being dragged into a room. Before she could even think to protest, the arm that had been wrapped around her waist, was now holding her mouth shut, preventing her from screaming or speaking up, all the while pressing her to a wall.“It’s me.”The familiar voice, along with the familiar smell, told Ivory that her attacker was no stranger. Squinting her eyes, she could vaguely make out the face of the person in front of her, in the not so bright room.“Gadreel?” She questioned, as soon as the hands covering her mouth.He nodded and moved a little, allowing the dim light in the room to cast a small ray onto his face. “Yeah.”Ivory was relieved, but after that, came the confusion. “What…what are you doing? Why would you drag me in here?” She questioned.“I wanted to talk to you.”“You could have done that like every normal person.” She s

Chapter 142 I Love You, I'm Sorry.

“Don’t get too full of yourself, Gadreel,” Ivory responded, pushing him back.The man took a few steps, but the smile on his lips didn’t fade. “You’re not denying it and you didn’t stop me either.”Ivory opened her mouth, wanting to tell him that she didn’t feel anything, but the words just wouldn’t come out.It was because she was lying.And Gadreel, being the cunning snake he was, had her right where he wanted her.“Just because there’s a little attraction, doesn’t mean it’s love.” Ivory told him. “I don’t feel anything for you, Gadreel.” She repeated, hoping this time around, she’d believe those words she had said.Yes, if she said it out loud enough times, these feelings that she has held for him, even after he hurt her, they were bound to disappear.“You’re a horrible liar,” Gadreel said, and suddenly, he was on her again. This time, he pinned her wrists above her head, using his knee to keep her legs spread and his face hovering above hers.“Gadreel-““Your eyes say one thing, b

Chapter 143 The Calm Before Her Storm?

Ivory returned to the event room, and was greeted by the sound of applause. The crowd, including Veronica Blythe, was gathered around the projector, looking at the screen where Ivory's information was displayed.Her face, along with her name and the title of Arnett were displayed, along with the rest. Whispers filled the room from all corners and the moment she thought of the attention she was going to be receiving, Ivory wanted to turn and walk back the way she came, but unfortunately, her actions didn't go unnoticed."Miss. Remington,"She didn't bother turning, recognizing the voice as Veronica Blythe."Would you do us the honor of please coming on stage?"Ah, fuck her life.Sighing, Ivory plastered on a fake smile, and turned to face the older woman. "Of course, Madam Blythe."The crowd went wild when she climbed on, but what they were saying blurred into muffled sounds as Gadreel walked into the room and stood in the middle of the crowd.His stoic mask was back on, but Ivory coul

Chapter 144 Please Save Him.

Gadreel sat in his office, head leaned against the headrest of his chair and eyes closed. In the darkness of his mind, a foreign memory played out.It was that of a kid, Ivory, he knew from her red hair which had been packed into two even pony tails and golden eyes.The young girl was seated at the foot of a bed, watching him, dream him, try to build a castle out of the new set of building blocks his parents had given him.There was a pout on her lips and after a little while, she had gotten up, approached him, and without so much as remorse, kicked the entire castle down, ruining the work he had spent hours on.The feeling was vague, but Gadreel, at that point, recalled being angry, but when the kid Ivory had looked down at him, her pout deepened, and those golden eyes had filled with unshed tears, his anger vanished.All that had remained was confusion and guilt.Why was she about to cry? Was it his fault? Why was she-"Stop playing with those stupid things!" She cried, reaching for

Chapter 145 Winning Her Back.

Although she wasn’t particularly pleased with how she had to kneel down and beg, Samantha knew it was for the best.As she walked towards her car, wiping the tears off her cheek, she recalled how, three days ago, the doctor’s had delivered the news of Lionel’s condition, and how he needed another surgery.She had been horrified, scared and devastated. As much as she was angry at Lionel for having cheated on her and even had the audacity to get another woman pregnant when he refused to sleep with her without making her drink contraceptives the following morning, Samantha still loved him.That was part of the reason why she had hit Evangeline when the girl had spoken out of place.She didn’t want Lionel to die, she had prayed day and night and when she saw the reveal of who Arnett was, she felt like the universe was mocking her, at the same time, giving her a solution to her current misfortune and although she wasn’t too pleased to go running to Ivory for help, she knew the girl was the

Chapter 146 Was There Any Point In Being The Good Guy?

Breakfast, by the time they were having it, had eventually turned into brunch.Ivory had sat opposite Gadreel, with Emma beside her. At first, she had been rather quiet, focusing mostly on her meal and trying her best to ignore Gadreel’s lingering eyes on her, but the more he and Emma talked, the easier she started to feel around him.“You should have seen Ivory’s face,” Emma said at one point, recounting an event during their college examination days where some geeky male classmate of their had asked Ivory out. “Dude had snort running down his nose and when he walked up to her, he just-“Emma had burst out laughing, the scene in her mind playing over and over again. However, she was the only one who happened to find it funny.Not only did Ivory hate the recollection of her past, especially in front of Gadreel, she was also embarrassed by her younger self.“Shut up, would you.” She had grumbled.“Hey, why are you so grumpy?” Emma asked, wiping the tears in her eyes. “It’s just a memor

Chapter 147 I Am A Man Who Has Every Intention Of Pursuing You.

As soon as Ivory stepped back inside, she was startled by Gadreel who had, well, easy dropped on the conversation.“You,” She began, glaring at him. “You really don’t have any manner, now do you?”Gadreel didn’t answer, but he was kind enough to offer her a smile. Ah, the usual hot and cold signals from him. At one point, Ivory would think that she can read him, then the very next, he’d become an enigma to her.Why does she still bother humoring his rubbish?“It seems you’ve eaten to your fill,” Ivory said and pointed towards the front door. “Then, take your leave.”Gadreel still remained silent, but when he pushed off the wall, eyes remaining focused on hers, he asked a question that completely caught Ivory off guard.“Are you really engaged to him,” His eyes dropped down to the paper she was carrying before he asked. “Are you?”Ivory moved the paper to her back and answered as snappy as possible. “I don’t think that’s any of your business.”“Is it not?” Gadreel asked, walking toward

Chapter 148 The Suffocating Reality Of Expectations.

Lucien recalled when he had first met Ivory. He had, once again, gotten a perfect score on the Luminary quarterly exam, but, with there being no one to show it to, he was once again, like he had done with his past results, about to burn it.The fire had already consumed the tip, when suddenly, the paper has been snatched from his hand.“Heh, what the hell do you think you’re doing?”The face has first registered, before the voice did. She looked frail, mistreated from the bruises on her cheek and her hair, cheekbone length at that time, looked like it had been cut uneveningly.In short, she looked abandoned, and in some way, that reminded him of himself.“Why would you-“ She was in the middle of scolding him when she had seen his score and her eyes went wide. “Wow, a perfect score.” She breathed out, clearly impressed.It was the first time someone had looked impressed by his performance. His classmate and teachers, even his mother, saw it as a regular duty for him to always have perf

Chapter 149 The Patient Is Gone.

With two whole days of rest, Ivory was ready to perform her second surgery, ever since returning to the medical field and her patient, so happened to be her father.“Ms. Remington,” Doctor Kline greeted, extending a hand in her direction.“Doctor,” Ivory returned the gesture.“I know you are family, but thank you for agreeing to do the surgery.”“Not a problem at all.” Ivory said, waving her hand with a tight smile on her lips. “Could I please see his medical chart?”“Oh, of course.”Handing the document over, the Doctor pointed at the most crucial parts and said, “These are the points where he is at most risk. The internal bleeding has made his heart rather weak and he is prone to sudden cardiac arrest, hence the reason why the surgery needs to be done as soon as possible.”“I see,” Ivory read the entire chart, fighting the frown that threatened to make it’s way to her face. After a little while, she nodded her head, getting the full understanding of the situation and what she needed

The hospital machine had flat lined. All around, nurses and assisting doctors moved around, gathering the equipment of their failed operation.On the table, the unconscious body of Lionel Remington laid, lifeless, something, his very daughter, Ivory had never expected to see.She hated him, despised him even, but, never had she wanted him to die.
