IVYIt's been days now and Ethan hasn't visited. I understand that I pulled him away but I can't stop myself from worrying about him. He has helped me a lot in this plan of mine and I think a THANK YOU wouldn't be too much to say to him.Since he read my message but didn't respond, I thought of paying him a visit.As I prepared to get going, someone knocked on my door.“My Queen, someone seeks your attention in the dinning!” A servant said, her voice professional and respectful. After taking a thorough thought on who may be looking for me as I wasn't expecting a visitor, furthermore, nobody knows I am the Unknown CEO of WASTON Group so who could that be?I directed this question to the servant who responded, “He goes by the name MR COOPER!” She responded, giving me an anticlimax. “Okay, I will be there shortly” I responded, before taking my clothes off and glaring at my standing breast. Why won't they be round and firm? I got deflowered a month ago when Lysander fucked me for the fi
CAMEIL“Is Lysander at home?” I directed to the security guard who nodded, responding, “Yes, he is inside”I thought of visiting Lysander to make things up as it has been two days since we last spoke and he hasn't even called me since then.I walked into the mansion and made my way straight to his bedroom. Upon getting there, Lysander was busy with his Laptop. Tomorrow is a very big day for him and he also planned to renew a contract with WASTON Group on this same day, maybe that's why he's busy.After standing at the door for minutes without him even noticing my presence, I finally cleared my throat, making some attractive sound.Lysander looked back at the door and saw me. Surprisingly, he ignored me and continued what he was doing. That was so strange of him.The last fight we had Five years ago before he married Ivy, he didn't act like this initially. This means that he is seriously pissed off.As Lysander continued operating his laptop and cellphone at the same time, I walked to
CAMEILIt took me by surprise to also see Ivy standing here as if she is the CEO of WASTON Group. But why?“I haven't come here to take the post of the CEO of WASTON Group nor identify myself as the CEO of WASTON Group…” Ivy finally responded, keeping her tone firm and refusing eye contact with anyone. “I have come here to actually stand in place for the CEO of WASTON Group!” She completed and finally looked at Lysander and I, probably to see our reaction.Lysander was the first to Yelp in surprise. The CEO had informed us that he'll be available for the Event today. Our manager at Steel's Group made that known to us.So, what is all this bullshit Ivy is saying here?“So you are trying to say that we won't see him today. But why?” Lysander asked with a disappointing face.“I am only an Assistant to the Real CEO. I am not responsible for his movement or his way of life” Ivy responded, forming her voice to be prudent, “Besides, you should be honored that he sent someone to represent him
CAMEIL“No, ‘Cameil! I am not a secret Agent, neither am I an agent of darkness! I am too smart to know your in and out moves and there's no freaking way you're going to deny that!” Ivy's voice echoed me out from my thoughts as if she had been listening to what I've been saying in my mind.While still trembling, I managed to control myself to have the courage to challenge Ivy's evidence.Before I could open my mouth to speak, Lysander spoke up after me.“Tell me that this evidence you showcased isn't true, Ivy” he asked, “For five years now, I've been bagging contracts with WASTON Group nonstop and just today that you were sent to represent the hidden CEO of this corporation, you terminated all of our contracts!” He started walking closer to Ivy, ignoring my presence. “Why do I feel like the CEO of WASTON Group didn't do this, Ivy? Why do I feel like all this is your plan to exact revenge on me? Why do I feel like you're the real master behind all these conspiracies?” He continued, h
IVY Cameil couldn't even stop the tears trying their possible best to flow down her face. I could see the huge amount of disappointment on her face. That was her precious Lysander sending her out of his house and she couldn't do anything to stop it. Instead, she held his hand and cried, “Don't tell me that you believed everything she said, Xander. We are so…” “Please, Cameil!” Lysander cut her, his voice full of disinterest. “I already made enough losses all because of you. I just asked for some space, I need some time to be alone” he added, ignoring facial contact with Cameil. Hearing this, Cameil shook her head in disappointment and humiliation. She started walking back, shame and fury swimming in her face. Stepping down from the stage, I was the first person Cameil set her furious eyes on. Her sight clearly implied how mad she was at me and of course, I am the person behind the downfall of her relationship with Lysander. “Don't think this is over, Ivy!” She whispered to
IVYI was still driving home when my phone started vibrating. I slow down the speed of my car to have a look at it and discovered it was Ethan on the call.“Ethan is calling me? But why?” I wondered to myself. He had previously stayed away from me for the past few days- no calls, no visitations, no checkups. And now, he is calling?Well, I'd love to know why he called.“Hello!” I responded, turning on my earphone.“Hi… I saw what happened tonight in the news and I wanted to tell you well done. You really dealt with Cameil by doing that”“Okay, thank you “ I responded with a disinterested tone though I was happy he called.“Are you still mad at me, Ivy?” He asked.“I am not in the mood to speak to you, Ethan. You saw it yourself in the media, I had a tough day and it was…”“How long will you be mad at me, Ivy?” Ethan inquired and at a sec, his tone melted my heart and all his cheerful deeds towards me started recounting on my head.“I only want to be there as a friend and help you in t
IVYJust as Cameil was about to pull the trigger, someone yelled from behind. “They are here!” He yelled and Cameil looked instantly.The person who had made the utterance was the man who looked suspicious to me while buying street food earlier and I think he works for Cameil.“Who is here?” Cameil asked, her voice loud and hasty.“There are two cars approaching this premises and as I speak to you, they are on their way here!” The young man said in a rushy tone. “ I think the best thing to do here is run! Other things can follow but for now, we need to protect ourselves, Ma'am!” Cameil turned to me with an excruciating face filled with anger! “This isn't over, Ivy!” She uttered, lowering her gun. “Don't think I won't get back at you, I will never quit!”“You should be the one begging me not to destroy you because at the mention of your name, you will be spending all of your lives in jail!” I threatened, a smile of confidence dancing on my face.Cameil grabbed my hair instantly and
IVY“Hmmmm?” I muttered following how silent Lysander suddenly went. He hasn't said a word since and I'm curious as to why he came here. I'm the last person he wished to save in this world, so it has got me mouth-opened as to why he came here!“It's nothing really much” Lysander finally spoke up, bringing back his cruel and uncaring look. “I saw when those men abducted you so I followed them here. There is nothing more and there is nothing less to that”He took a step back and looked at me “Since another person has saved you, I really don't see the need to stay here!” He turned back and attempted to walk away but stopped and looked at me once more. “I don't want you to go about thinking I came here to save you for something else or another thing. The mutual hatred between us is still there. I am not that cruel to watch a lady die before my eyes!”“But you were cruel enough to watch my unborn child die before your very eyes!” I said immediately after him, my voice low and emotionalize
{Cameil}I took a step backward, my eyes still fixed on Lysander.“No!...No!”That was the only remark I could make. I had a lot to say, but how to say it was the major problem. My Lysander, whom I have loved for over five years now. My Lysander, who used to love me so much. I mean, he was ready to do everything for me, and when I asked him this question, I expected him to hug me. Kiss me and tell me: “You are the one I love, Cameil!” But that didn't happen! It didn't happen. Instead, he chose Ivy over me.I walked close to Lysander, my lips curving out a bitter smile as I raised my hand to Lysander's chin.“Tell me you are joking, right? Tell me you were only trying to test our love. Are you not going to consider our unborn child, and at least, give me a chance again? I know you love me, Lysander. I know you love me so much even more than you love Ivy….”“That's enough, Cameil!” Lysander yelled, pushing my hand off his chin. “Gone are those days when I used to make you believe that
I immediately let out a chuckle full of bitterness. “Ivy!” I couldn't hold my bitter astonishment.So, Lysander is doing all these for no other person but Ivy? He is hurting himself because he made Ivy suffer in the past and he wants to feel triple her pain.No way!I clenched my fist tightly.“There is no way I will let you punish yourself this hard, Lysander and it is all because of Ivy! Never!” I roared, my tone almost ready to fall a mountain.“You don't understand all these because you don't know what it feels like to Love someone, Cameil! You don't understand the true meaning of Love! You don't understand how much I ignored Ivy's love! You don't understand how much she had to suffer all because of me. You don't understand how…”“ENOUGH!” I screamed, almost ready to explode in JEALOUSY. “Enough is ENOUGH, Lysander. It's always about Ivy. Ivy, Ivy, Ivy. It's always Ivy all the time! I love you, Lysander. And you love me too. You did everything I asked of you. You even divorced Iv
{Cameil}“Xander!” I called out coldly, my voice low and menaced.The moment Lysander saw me, he froze. He didn't say anything. He didn't go on with what he wanted to do.I stood there. My lips trembling. And my hands were shaking in astonishment.The whole room was messed up. The wardrobe was on the floor and the entire room was filled with BLOOD!I examined Lysander's body smoothly. It was all filled with blood. He was busy tearing his body with a sharp dagger.I couldn't hold my breath at First but just then, I knew that Lysander's life was more important.My bag slipped off my hand and I ran towards Lysander speedily.“Xander… Xander!” I yelled, attempting to drag the weapon from him but he held it strong.“Just let the weapon be. Do you want to kill yourself?” My voice increased further. “Give it to me!” I tried to drag it more forcefully than the other time but he pushed me out of his sight. “I don't need you to stop me. I deserve to feel the pain!” He yelled, still clenching
{Cameil}After meeting with Claudia, I felt at ease. I felt relaxed again and I could slowly see my taste for vengeance finally becoming a reality.I hopped into my car and the driver asked.“Where are we heading to, Ma'am?”I dropped my back beside me and looked at him through the glass mirror. “Drive to the mansion!”“Sorry, Ma. But which mansion?’The dumb idiot asked. I tried my possible best not to get mad at him. He is always stupid and I could even see it in his eyes.Right now, I didn't want to stress my tone because I'm in a good mood. But wait, doesn't this driver know which mansion I am referring to?Well, I stayed all too calm.“Drive me to my husband's house!” I responded, my voice sharp and unfocused. “That's the mansion I was referring to…”Everywhere was quiet.The car didn't start. Neither did the stupid driver say a word. I ceased from pressing my phone, looking up at him. “Are you daft?” I yelled, my eyes flashed with disgust. “I said you should take me to my husb
{Cameil}Claudia's eyes flashed at me with deep contempt. I could see the unwillingness in her eyes to tell me who the hidden CEO of WASTON Group was.And even at this moment when I see my dream becoming a reality, she can't stop me from achieving my goal.“Why are you still quiet?” I reached for the photographs, piling them into my bag. “Are you still having second thoughts about telling me the truth?”“Listen here, Cameil…” Claudia spat coolly. “This is an issue that we can settle amicably. I don't see the need for you trying to force out words from my mouth. If there is anything you want from Becca, I will help you with it”“I don't need you to be an intermediary between Becca and I. I need to meet up with that CEO because I need her to make my strike”“Is this about Ivy?” Claudia spoke up immediately after me, her eyes flashing with curiosity.I leaned back, scoffing instantly. How did she know about my feud with Ivy? I asked myself some questions.Just then, Claudia gave me a c
Hi, everyone! Recently, I passed through you all comment and I must say that I am happy that you have totally poured out your mind on this book. I am seeing your comments and I am also responding to them as well. However, some comments dragged my attention and I thought of writing this Note. In some chapters, a few people bothered about being confused and one of them I would love to clear up is QUESTION: How many years were Lysander and Ivy married? ANSWER: Lysander and Ivy were married for FIVE years and not THREE years. I apologize if some chapters said otherwise. It has been edited. Another question was: —Cameil and Ivy were friends for ten Years. How come Cameil was never aware of the fact that Ivy is the daughter of a billionaire? ANSWER: Cameil and Ivy were friends for ten Years, Yes. But Ivy was so personal with her life. When Cameil asked about her family, she mentioned that she doesn't want to talk about them because they had neglected her feelings. Also, Cameil was a
{Cameil}Claudia turned to me sharply, her eyes filled with rage. She never expected me to say something like that neither did she think that her little Secret would come to reality!She silently went back to her seat, looking around stylishly to make sure that nobody overheard what I said.“Are you out of your senses?” She yelled coolly, her teeth gritting in anger. “Don't you know how to keep your tone low and speak With your common sense? Must you always prove yourself to be a desperate lady, huh? What if someone overheard what you just said? How am I gonna defend myself?”I chuckled briefly, my voice laced with satisfaction. I couldn't hold my Happiness to the fact that I got Claudia back to sit with me with listening ears.Well, I smiled and turned to Claudia. “So, you are aware that you and your mother were responsible for what happened to Late Mr and Mrs Moore?” “Whatever evidence you have against me getting involved with the accident, I don't care. But I think you should be a
{Cameil}I didn't even wait for the time to exceed 5:30 PM before rushing to the address which Dave sent me. But It's already 6PM and it had been over thirty minutes since I have been waiting, yet, she is not here.I guess I have to endure the pain of waiting for her. She is the only weapon to finding out the real identity of the hidden CEO of WASTON Group. I just have to remain patient and wait for her. Maybe she is busy or something like that.“Here you go, Ma'am…” A thick masculine voice jolted me from my inner thoughts. I looked up and saw the waiter– holding a basket of the meal I had ordered.“Where should I drop it, Ma'am!” Hos voice was cool while his hands were still gripped to the basket.He already added to my annoyance by asking me where to drop the meal he brought. I tried to control myself, smiling like I was happy.“You can drop it wherever you like. Maybe on my head or my thighs. You may put it wherever that pleases you the most!” Though I was sarcastical, this idi
~IvyLysander’s face was anything but gentle. It was hardened—grimy and torn between compassion and fury. But I couldn’t care less. I remained still, lips sealed, letting him simmer in his rage.“Ivy, answer me!” he demanded, voice rising, eyes locked on mine with a fire that could burn through stone. “I need answers. What’s the reason for this warrant? Don’t tell me this is about Ethan. Was I just a pawn in your fight with him?”He stepped closer, voice breaking into a shout. “Why won’t you speak? Just say it. You love Ethan, don’t you?”His fists clenched the documents with such force I thought he’d rip them apart. I gave a slow, steady nod.“Yes, Lysander,” I admitted calmly. “You heard right. I love Ethan. I love him more than I’ve ever loved you.”Without hesitation, he seized my wrists, his touch hot and trembling with rage. His eyes blazed with raw possession.“You’re lying!” he snapped, voice like shattered glass. “You didn’t mean that! You were willing to die for me, remember
