[Ivy]

Grandpa’s office has always been my favourite place since childhood.

When Mom and Dad used to go to work, they would sometimes drop me off here because Grandpa never minded having me around.

And also because he hated the idea of a stranger taking care of me. He didn’t trust them—not as much as he trusted the people he allowed to stay around.

Maybe that’s why, when his assistant—Jonathan Jersey, a man in his early thirties (I’m not entirely sure, he just sounds that way)—leads Finn and me

    “Alright,” Grandpa says, his voice full of determination. “If that’s what you want. I’m sure you have your reasons. And speaking of reasons, I heard you have some solid proof of Hunter’s infidelity?”“Yes,” I reply. “Finn recorded everything.”“Good. Then we’ll use that in court. We’ll make sure he pays for what he’s done.” There’s a fierce protectiveness in his voice that warms my heart. He then pulls me into his arms, hugging me tightly. “I’m so sorry you had to go through this, my child. You deserve so much better.” He kisses my forehead. “But don’t worry. I’ll make sure he pays for every single tear you’ve shed—and more.”I lean into his embrace, feeling a sense of relief wash over me.For the first time since I found out about Hunter’s betrayal, I feel like everything might actually be okay.As we pull apart, Grandpa clears his throat. “Alright. Now let’s talk about something much more important.” He slips my hand into his, his warm touch bringing a sense of reassurance. “After t

    [Ivy]Grandpa’s office has always been my favourite place since childhood.When Mom and Dad used to go to work, they would sometimes drop me off here because Grandpa never minded having me around.And also because he hated the idea of a stranger taking care of me. He didn’t trust them—not as much as he trusted the people he allowed to stay around.Maybe that’s why, when his assistant—Jonathan Jersey, a man in his early thirties (I’m not entirely sure, he just sounds that way)—leads Finn and me to his office on the top floor of the GrandMax building, a wave of nostalgia hits me hard.So hard that, for a second, I almost forget why I’m here.The familiar scent of old wood and polished leather greets me first, followed by the low hum of city traffic and the soft rustle of papers being shuffled.I take a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves.“Thank you, Jonathan,” I say. “You can leave now.”“Are you sure, Miss Ivy? Mr. Maxford is in a meeting right now. He might not be available for a

    [Ivy]When we started following the tracker on Finn’s phone, I wasn’t sure what to expect.But when it stopped moving right outside Luxe Meridian—the condominium where I used to live before Hunter came into my life—something in my stomach twisted.Memories rushed through my head like a movie on fast forward.I saw my mom’s face. Her hands splattered with paint. Her bright smile. Her eyes full of life.For a second, I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t move. Couldn’t do anything but clench my fingers tight—so tight my short nails bit into my flesh.And I heard Finn gasp.“What the hell, Ivy?” he growled.I felt his warm touch slide along my arm until he held my hand in his, probably staring at the mess I’d just made.“Are you crazy or something? Why would you do that?”But I’m sure the question is rhetorical, because there’s no way he’s expecting me to answer.“It’s nothing.” I pull my hand away. And while he hesitates to let go, he doesn’t force it either.And I’m not lying. I don’t know how

    [Ivy]“Can we…do it tonight?” he asks, almost innocently, trailing soft and delicate kisses down my shoulders.My body tenses at the thought of having sex with him, my brain instantly scrambling for an excuse.“Maybe not tonight,” I say, my jaw clenched tight, fist even tighter. “I’m exhausted.”“You sure?” he whispers, probably pouting like a kid who isn’t going to get the candy he so badly wanted. “You know I don’t mind doing all the work.”It’s supposed to be teasing, but now I realize it’s not. It’s his way to remind me how much effort he has been putting into me, how much of a dedicated and devoted husband he has been. All to make me feel like a burden, but a burden he’s willing to bear, because he loves me.Oh, how wrong I was.“I know, Hunter,” I say, trying very hard to keep this feeling of disgust at bay. “But I really am tired today. The shopping was…draining.”“Of course. My apologies.” He immediately backs away, the bed dipping as he shifts, creating a void that’s both a r

    [Ivy]He sighs again, but this time it’s not out of disappointment—it’s out of pride. “Good. Very good. Leave it to me. I know what to do next.”“Thanks, Grandpa. I also have another favor to ask of you.”“Just say the word, Ivy. You know I would do anything for you, as long as it’s within my capability.”More tears race down my cheeks—not because it hurts, but because it doesn’t. Because there’s at least someone in my life whose love for me is unconditional. And that’s something I need to always remember.“I want you to reach out to Dr. Keith. He is an eye specialist and did a thorough checkup on me last month. I think he has found a way to treat my eyes and bring my sight back.”“Dr. Keith,” Grandpa repeats, as if digging through his memory for the man. “Wait. Isn’t he the same doctor I had my assistant send the contact details to Hunter a year ago?”“A year?” That’s new to me. As far as I know, it was only last month that Hunter introduced me to him. “Wait. You sent the doctor’s de

    "Okay," Finn says, before I feel him walking away.At the mall, we grab a coffee first. And while Dahlia chats away, mercilessly dumping all the office gossip on me, I feel the warmth of someone's gaze on my skin.It isn't subtle. Not obvious either. I could be wrong, for all I know.But the way the back of my neck prickles—exactly the way it did when I met... him—I can't help but turn my head in that direction."Is there someone I know?" I ask, cutting off her rambling.Dahlia pauses, probably checking."Well, there's definitely someone," she says, and I hear her shift. "But not anyone I know. Want me to go ask?"I shake my head. "No. No need."It can't be him. He hasn't been in the country for the last five years.I must be mistaken.I have to be. ******"Oh, this one's good. Really good," reads Dahlia, possibly from the text sent by Hunter after she showed him the picture of the fifth dress I tried on."He likes it," she mumbles, before I sense her presence right next to me. "I li
