All Chapters of Falling For The Enemy: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ivy Chase ~•~ I stood in front of the mirror and looked at my reflection. I picked up the hairbrush from the vanity and brushed my long brown hair. After that, I packed it into a sleek ponytail. With everything that had been going on, I hadn’t gotten the chance to visit the salon. But I had to do my hair by myself because I was having dinner with Sebastian and needed to look presentable. The thought of the dinner sent a shiver down my spine. He still had no idea what happened the previous night. After I left his house because of his annoying secretary, he texted me to apologize. I didn’t want to continue living with the guilt of cheating on him, so I asked him to let me know when he would be free. I wanted us to talk. He suggested that we have dinner at a fancy restaurant. I wanted it to be in private, but I reluctantly agreed. I mean, Sebastian wasn’t a fan of crowded places, so I guessed it would be kind of empty. I took a deep breath as I smoothed out my dress. Then I

Ivy Chase ~•~ “Someone set me up?” My voice was barely above a whisper. “Why would anyone do that to me?” I asked, still trying to wrap my head around everything. Parker nodded. “Yes, someone set you up.” He responded like he was so certain. I couldn’t hold back a scoff. Set me up? I wasn’t sure if I should believe him or not. I couldn’t bring myself to trust him. What if I was just a pawn in a silly game he was playing? First of all, I woke up in the same room with him without any knowledge of how I got there. And now, he is saying that someone set me up. He was being ridiculous. When he saw how hesitant I looked, he cleared his throat and continued. “I’m being honest here, I found the guy who was originally sent to your room.” “What are you even talking about?” I asked, my brows furrowed slightly. I was beginning to feel overwhelmed because too many things were happening at the same time. There were too many questions, with barely any answers. I didn’t even kn

Ivy Chase ~•~ Sitting in the bar waiting for him, I felt lost wondering how my life ended up like this. I wished it was just a dream. I couldn’t even use sleep to escape from my problems even if I tried. I ended up waking back to reality and my chest still hurt as though I was stabbed physically with a knife. Sebastian always told me that he loved me. He always assured me that we would be together forever. He made it seem like he was madly in love with me. But everything was a lie. I had been tricked for so many years. Nobody would do something like that to the person who they loved. It wasn’t logical. For years, Sebastian had been my world. He was the center of my life and I had built everything around him. I had given him every piece of me without hesitation. I stood by him. I sacrificed for him. More than I wanted to admit. More than I had ever let myself acknowledge. His dreams had become my dreams. When he wanted to start up his company, I was there. I contri

Ivy Chase ~•~ My heart raced in my chest as Parker led me into a room. I wanted to see who was meant to rape me but at the same time, I was scared to see the person. I still hoped it was some sort of misunderstanding. I mean, why would someone want to set me up like that? Sexually assaulting someone was a very terrible thing to do. Plus, I wasn’t even sober. It was really fucked up. “Are you sure you’re ready to see the guy?” Parker asked as we got to the front of the room. I shook my head, even though a part of me was contemplating my decision. “Yes,” I said faintly, letting out a deep sigh. What if I wasn’t ready for whatever was on the other side of the door? Parker assessed my face and let out a dry chuckle. “You don’t look like you’re ready, but I’ll be here with you. You have nothing to worry about.” He assured me and I responded with a nod. Finally, he opened the door and we walked into the dimly lit room. I couldn’t see clearly until Parker turned on the l

Ivy Chase ~•~ “Sebastian told me,” I replied, crossing my arms over my chest. Sebastian always had a lot to say about Parker and all the bad things he had done. Parker scoffed. “You don’t know the entire story, so you have no right to judge me.” I rolled my eyes as he tried to defend himself. “I don’t care whatever reason it is, it’s not okay to turn against the people who raised you like that.” I continued, my voice rising. Parker tried to speak but I didn’t give him the chance to continue. I was fueled by rage and I couldn’t stop myself. “My boyfriend has told me about all the horrible things you did. And now, you just let a criminal go without punishment!” I couldn’t believe he would do something like that. I had the chance to find out who was behind everything but he took it away from me. I was upset. But Parker was upset too. “You want to obey the law so much? Then you should know what illegal custody means!” I could tell that he was struggling to keep his emotions
