“Ivy, please stop. I can’t run anymore. I’m tired.” Lisa freed her hand away from Ivy’s grip as she tried to catch her breath. It turned out that Ivy had taken a hold of her hand as they were running for their lives.After Lisa calmed down, that was when she remembered Jane. She looked around, however she couldn’t find her sister-in-law.“Eh, where is Jane?” Lisa asked as she looked at the group of unfamiliar people that were running out of the exit, but Jane figure wasn’t among them.Ivy also looked around. Seeing that Jane didn’t follow them out, her lips curled up in triumph. The job has been done.“Jane was right behind us earlier. Where could she be?” Ivy had a concerned expression on her face as she spoke. Although she felt like laughing out loud to celebrate her victory, she still had to maintain a caring facade in front of Lisa.Just when Lisa was about to reply to her, a loud noise interrupted her.“Ladies and gentlemen, we are sorry for the inconvenience. The fire alarm was
“Hey, Lisa. You are here.” Ivy rushed towards Lisa and Jane immediately she saw their figure walking towards her. She had been waiting for their arrival for the past thirty minutes. Lisa had given her a call when she left Leonard mansion with Jane, informing her that they will be here soon.“Why is she here?” Jane's smile disappeared as she saw Ivy. Since the day she met Ivy, nothing good always comes out of their encounter. Seeing her again didn’t give her any joy, instead, she felt a dread rising within her.Lisa, who was standing as the middleman between Ivy and Jane, was speechless for a few seconds, before she finally found something to say.“Jane, I’m sorry for not telling you that Ivy would be joining us for this shopping.” Lisa held Jane’s hand in hers, trying to comfort her.“Actually, the reason I invited you for this shopping trip is because of Ivy.” Jane raised an eyebrow at Lisa’s words.“What does this have to do with me?” Jane sized Ivy up, her eyes dimming at how exagg
“Babe, how do I look? Does this fit well?” Jane walked out of the closet and spun in front of Leonard, who was busy reading some documents.Jane’s soft voice entered Leonard’s ears, making him raise his head up to see his wife spinning beautifully in front of him. Jane was putting on a knee length flair gown, which spun with her as she spun her body.Jane stood in a sexy poise, her eyelashes fluttering seductively, trying to gain Leonard’s attention.Leonard swallowed hard, the document in his hand dropping on his laps. He stared at Jane in a daze. No matter how he looks at her, she is always beautiful. “Leonard,” Jane called her dazed husband, shaking her head at how silly he looked. “Focus. How do I look?”“Huh,” Leonard finally came back to his senses. He didn’t feel embarrassed about how silly he must have looked earlier. Instead, his lips curled up happily. “You look gorgeous, darling.”Leonard stood up and walked towards Jane. He wrapped his arm around her slim waist, drawing h
Ivy had been feeling restless since she came back from her meeting with Ava. Thinking about their plan, she wants to carry it out immediately. She doesn’t have the patience to wait anymore. Her priority at the moment was how she would trick Jane out of Leonard’s mansion, and put her plan in action.She had already contacted a group of ruffians that would help her carry out the kidnapping. They had reported to her that Jane was tightly guarded left and right. They won’t have the opportunity to kidnap her, unless she is alone.Ivy had been thinking about this problem since she came back. Suddenly, Lisa’s face flashed in her mind. “Silly me. Who else can I use to trick jane out if not Lisa.” Ivy slapped her thigh in excitement.She immediately picked up her phone to call Lisa. She knew that Lisa was on guard against her since she had schemed against Jane the last time. Lisa had been avoiding her. She didn’t care about this before, that was why she didn’t have time to settle with Lisa. B
In a very remote restaurant out of town, Ivy was seated in a corner, waiting for the arrival of someone.“Why isn’t she here yet? Didn’t she receive my call?” Ivy mumbled to herself as she tapped on a number on her phone screen in frustration. She had been waiting here for almost an hour, still yet, she hadn’t met the so-called partner who would help her make Jane cease to exist.The phone of the person she was calling was ringing, but she wasn’t picking up. When she was about to stand up and leave the restaurant in anger, she saw a woman, who was putting on the latest flair gown that was just introduced to the fashion market last week, making her look out of place.This restaurant was just a normal restaurant where the average people would visit. Someone like her didn’t fit in here. But for the bigger plan, she had no choice than to be here. Ivy had chosen this restaurant because she doesn’t want to be traced and associated with whoever she wanted to meet, in case there is any proble
“Welcome to Ristorante Amore.” A waitress greeted Jane and Leonard the moment they stepped into the restaurant. “Thank you.” Jane gave the waitress a small smile before she leads them to the table that has already been reserved for them.As they settle down, another waitress came to take their order. After a few minutes, Jane and Leonard was left alone to enjoy the view of the restaurant.“Wow, this restaurant really represents its name. Look at how beautiful the interior was decorated. All are screaming about love.” Jane compliments as she looks around the restaurant still seated.Leonard didn’t bother to look around. His eyes were on Jane throughout. He was happy that she was satisfied with his choice of restaurant.I need to give Rachel a raise after I go back. Leonard thought. It was his assistant that had help in booking the restaurant for lunch.“Babe, don’t you think this place is worthy of its name?” Jane eyes were bright as they finally landed on Leonard, whose eyes were smi
Two days later.“Jane, I’m glad you are okay. What happened two days ago? Why did you go missing?” Lily rushes towards Jane as she walks into the finance department. She was so worried about Jane throughout the weekend. Although James had inform her that Jane was fined her mind wasn’t at rest until she saw herJane had a small smile on her face seeing how Lily was concerned about her. “I’m fine. Nothing happened. I met a friend of mine, that's it. We were just having fun.Jane didn’t want to tell Lily about the details of her kidnapping. She doesn’t want to make the little girl worry.Lily immediately understands that Jane doesn’t want to talk about the kidnapping issue, so she doesn't ask anymore.“Today’s meeting had been canceled. I don’t know the details yet. And some files had been submitted on your table. You have to clear them before the end of today.” Lily informed Jane.“That’s unusual.” Jane was surprise. This is the first time the weekly meeting that’s carried out on Monday
“Lucy, you are awake?” Jane voice filled the hospital room when she saw Lucy open her eyes. She had been watching over her throughout the night. Lucy squinted her eyes due to the bright sunlight that seeped into the hospital room through the window. After getting use to the brightness, she finally open her eyes. What greeted her were Jane’s concerned filled eyes, looking at her like a mother who was worried about her sick child. “Jane?” Lucy was surprise to see Jane. All that happened yesterday and where she was at the moment hadn’t registered in her brain yet. “Yes it’s me, Lucy.” Jane sat beside her on the bed, her thumb caressing her cheek. “How are you feeling now? Are you okay? Is there any place you are feeling pain?” Jane brush aside a loose strand of her hair that was blocking her view. “Where am I?” Lucy was confused with Jane’s questions. She finally look around her and finally notice the beeping noise coming from her left. That was when she finally remembered what ha
Aaron, who just finished dealing with the thugs, drops the rod he had used in beating them to the floor. He turned around and his cold gaze softened at the sight of Jane’s face. His eyes were filled with concern for her.“Cupcake, are you alright?” Aaron moves forward to check Jane’s body whether she was injured or not.“I’m fine. Why are you here?” Jane’s eyes were filled with suspicions. After her wedding with Leonard, this would be the first time she would be seeing Aaron. With her investigation from Leonard, she was told that Aaron had left the country the day they wedded. She was surprised to see him here.“Ouch, cupcake, is this your attitude to someone who just saved you. My heart has been broken by you.” Aaron held his chest like he was in pain, his eyes glancing towards Jane like he was seeking her pity. His act made Jane forget that he didn’t reply why he was here.“Stop your act already. You single-handedly beat more than twenty people in college back then. I won’t fall for
