“Elixiron has been accused of manufacturing illegal drugs?”The news hit Ivory like a truck. Never, had she ever expected something like this, to happen, especially since she had always taken care when approving products made by them.Yet, here she was, standing by and listening to some absurd news that Peter Mendez’s death was caused by a drug… manufactured by her company!It sounded quite funny and almost prompted a laugh from Ivory. But the paper in her hands, the police officers standing in front of her, and the serious look in their eyes told her this was no laughing matter.“What’s the meaning of this?” She asked, her frown deepening, while the officers looked amongst themselves, before the leader spoke up.“As I’ve explained, there is tangible evidence to support the claim that your company was behind Mr. Mendez’s death.”“That’s bullshit. My company is not behind anyone’s death.” Ivory declared and without missing a beat, the lead officer retorted.“That’s for the court to dec

Gadreel had walked into the police station worried about Ivory’s well-being, considering the situation at hand and although not spoken out loud, he had been willing to help in whatever way he could, yet, here he was, walking out of said station with a sour mood after a- in his opinion- one sided altercation.The event, still relatively new, replayed several times in his mind as he walked down the hall of the police station and each time, he would feel his mood damp more and more and the frown be fought against, would manage to make it’s way to his expression.Because, as much as he didn’t want to admit it, Ivory’s words had cut him deeper than expected. For the first time, unfortunately so, he experienced what it feels like to be on the receiving end, and without a doubt, he could tell that it was not a pleasant thing, because, all he could feel was the growing pain in his chest, a deep frown on his face and a bitter Realization that Ivory only thought the worse about him.He had disr

Ivory’s passion for medicine had come about because of three reason.The first one being the urge to impress Elias Wrenford, when he took her under his wing.Second, her wish to help people and make a living out of it.And third, create a medicine the prevented people from facing the same unfortunate demise as her mother’s.Back then, when she still believed that the cause of her mother’s death was an illness, one that until date, she never really got a name for, except for the fact that it was heart disease, she had been determined to make a medicine that would cure any illness, prevent death, and save lives.Unfortunately, that never happened, because after a near death experience with one of the tester and more research that proved that an achievement like that was impossible, Ivory stopped, completely.Disease, illnesses and death, they were just a natural part of the cycle. They came and went and the world would carry on.With that knowledge in mind, she had abandoned the devil’s

After Doctor Elias had left, Ivory returned to the living room, she was a bit surprised to find that Lucien was no longer seated on the couch where she had last seen him.She frowned, but then heard a sound coming from her kitchen and the next second, Lucien walked out with two cups in his hands.“I made some coffee.” He announced, handing one of the cups to her before she could even think to refuse. “I assumed you might need it after a rough day.”She accepted the cup, taking a sip, and instantly, the warmth of the drink washed over her and brought her a sense of comfort.“Thank you,” She said, smiling ever so slightly and walking back to the living room.Lucien followed.“How are you feeling?” He asked as he sat down, and Ivory didn’t miss the way his gaze travelled over her face.He was definitely checking if she was alright, which, for some reason, didn’t bother her as much as it did the first time.“I’m fine,” She responded, sipping the coffee again. “Just tired and stressed.”“I

A whole day had gone by and with nothing substantial to show for it, Ivory decided a break was definitely in order.So, putting her work and the crazy scheme of finding who had framed her aside, she decided to pay a visit to the hospital.After all, her father was still unconscious and if anything happened, she would need to know, right?Right.Arriving at the hospital, she walked in and was quickly guided towards the ICU where her father was currently placed.“Doctor has been monitoring him for a while now, Ms. Remington,” the nurse explained as they reached the ward.“I hope you’ll get better news.”“Me too,” Ivory muttered and the nurse excused herself.Stepping into the ward, Ivory approached her father’s bed and sat down on the chair beside him.As she looked at his pale, unconscious face, a sigh escaped her lips.“When are you going to wake up?” She muttered. “Do you think staying this way would save you from the consequences of your actions?”She shook her head. “I’m afraid not
