The last thing Evangeline remembered before all had gone black was Gadreel running towards her, the sound of his voice and the feeling of his hand wrapped around her.However, the next time she came to, the sound of hospital machines beeping, blinding ceiling lights and the pungent smell of disinfectant, was the first thing that greeted her.She blinked several times, allowing her eyes to adjust to the lighting before her gaze swept around the room.“Reel,” She called, her throat dry and voice hoarse, and when her eyes fell on his sleeping form, she smiled a little.He cared so much about her that he stayed while she was unconscious, fitting himself into the couch that looked far too uncomfortable for him.If that wasn’t true love, then Evangeline wasn’t sure what would be.Taking another quick look around the room, she assessed the situation. Although she had gotten wounded, she felt fine and well and in the end, it looked like things had turned out to be in her favor.With that thou

Since her visit to the orphanage had been cut short, Ivory decided the next best place to go to, would be the hospital.However, that sentiment seemed to change the moment she arrived there and was blocked by none other than Samantha, her lovely stepmother.Sense the sarcasm there?“What are you doing here?” What a lovely first question to ask.“Is it a crime to visit my own father?” Ivory shot back and was about to pass her, when the woman blocked her path.“I don’t remember giving you permission to come here.” She seethed.“Permission?” Ivory nearly found her words funny and if not for the fact that they were in a hospital, she would have busted out laughing.Who exactly did this woman think she is?“Last I checked, I don’t need your permission. Or,” Stepping closer, she smiled subtly. “Has the years of my father pampering you, messed with that head of yours and made you believe that you are my mother in some way?”Immediately, Samantha went red in the face. “You-“ She began, but th

Evangeline, still in the hospital, was biting her nail, while staring at the television. The news currently playing, was all about Ivory’s action.From there, some people were comparing the two sisters, stating that if one can behave like this, the other one is sure to do the same.News like this was bringing serious damage to her reputation, Evangeline was aware, yet she cared very little about it.Her mind In fact, as she stared at the television, was somewhere else entirely, pondering solely on how she was going to get her hand on Gadreel’s ledger.Her thoughts however, was cut off the moment the door opened and Gabriella walked in.“You’re awake,” Gabriella stated, carrying a basket of fruit and placing it on the table. “How are you feeling?”“Fine grandmother, thank you for asking.” Evangeline answered, the smile on her lips being partially forced and partially true.It was forced in the aspects that her mind was occupied with recent troubles, namely the ledger and it was true in

As one would expect, Lucien’s sudden announcement had sparked a series of events that were a bit difficult to keep up with.There were rumors, speculations, and of course, news outlets trying their best to confirm the legitimacy of his claim.In other words, a lot had happened.And now, less than two days later, Ivory was being bombarded with calls all over. She had spent nearly two hours on the phone with Emma, trying to explain all about a relationship that didn’t exist to being with.Lucien Varga surely deserved a knock on the head for this little stunt! Ivory had mentally thought as she, at last, got off the only with Emma, only to head towards her front door to answer the persistent ring of her door bell.She had expected the person at the door to be Lucien, and was ready to curse him out, but instead, she was met with two familiar faces.“Kael? Arian?” Surprised, but pleasantly so, she looked between the two beloved boys, who looked equally as pleased to see her.“It’s been ages

The last few days had created a new phobia for Ivory. That is, the phobia of surprise.So much had happened in the past few days, or weeks, might she say, that Ivory had subconsciously developed the phobia of surprises.From Gadreel’s accident, to discovering the orphanage, to her father accident, then Lucien’s little stunt and the court summoning, she couldn’t possibly be blamed for her newly developed phobia.And now, as she watched the number of her lawyer flash across her screen, she wonder just what type of surprise awaited her.Pulling in a deep breath, she answered the phone after the third ring. “Hello?”“Ms. Remington, good day. I’m calling to inform you about the task you assigned to me. The one concerning visitation of your father.”Ivory felt her mood considerably lift. One good news!“Yes, I’m listening.”“The court has agreed to grant you visitation, legally and has restricted your stepmother from interfering.”“Ah,” Ivory felt relish wash over her.
