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
{Lysander}Even with the brightness of the day, I couldn't take my eyes off Ivy. How beautiful she is!As I stared at her closed little eyes and arousing lips, I smiled gently but before I knew what was going on, Ivy opened her eyes immediately and our eyeballs hit each other!She pushed me off her face.“Who the heck are you and where am I?” She asked angrily, gripping the duvet tightly. She stared at her undies and screamed instantly.“What did you do to me?” “Calm down, Ivy!” I said with a cool voice “This is not what you think”“Then tell me what I should be thinking when I'm lying on your bed naked! You dared to take advantage of me?” She yelled immediately after me.Other days, I would have slapped her by now but I don't know why I restricted myself from getting sad following how Ivy yelled at me.“You've gone dumb?” She added “I asked for an explanation. How did I get on this bed with my naked body? The last time I checked, I never called you for a pickup, so what am I doing h
{Lysander} “I've always suspected your devilish act! Just because you were unable to ruin Ivy when you were a couple, you thought you could take advantage of her now?” He yelled at me while clutching my collar tightly. I pulled his hand off me, pushing him off my sight. “I never told you that I wanted to do anything special with Ivy!” “Then why on earth did you bring her into your matrimonial room knowing how tipsy she was?” Ethan asked immediately after me, his tone and sight filled with rage! “I had my reasons for doing that! And whatever my reasons may be, I don't need anybody, especially not you, to give an explanation to!” I responded angrily and Etah attempted to step forward but Ivy pushed him back. She managed to make him cool a bit but his eyes were still stuck on me in rage! Stepping forward, Ivy pointed her fingers at me. “I've said it before but won't really mind repeating it!” Her voice was so commanding, “If I confirm that you actually did something to me,
{Lysander}“I'm sorry, Sir, but we had no option but to buy stocks on loan! At the moment, the accumulated loan is $13 Trillion….”“Shut the fuck up!” I yelled angrily to my manager of finances and indirectly to the whole board members present.The administration is so bad that they had the audacity to sign and buy goods worth over trillions just because they wanted to increase sales and now my company is imposed with this heavy amount!Where do I even get such an amount of money to pay back the loan? Our profit share isn't even up to that!Shit!“I think there is still hope here, Mr Steel!” The joint director uttered, showing me some files.“The only hope of survival of our company is Waston Group!” He said and I turned to him mysteriously. “Waston Group?” I asked and he nodded “Yes!”“They're the biggest in the whole world and this money is nothing to them! They're ready to do it if we're ready to…”“But you are very much aware that our relationship with the WASTON Group recently cr
~IvyFor the past few days, my relationship with Ethan keeps getting better and better.We've even raised funds for each other.Yep, you heard me right…our relationship has grown to be super stronger than the previous time we met.Though Ethan has his company, he decided to go with me to the office to check on the board members and to see how they are preparing for the mass delivery which is gonna be global!Our company will be partnering with the top fifty companies in the world for a new project which further improves our sales.An accumulated profit of SEVENTY TRILLION DOLLARS will be made from this partnership and I'm glad that this company has been booming ever since I became the Silent CEO.“Are you nervous?” ETHAN asked, gripping my hand softly as we walked into the board room.“Of course not!” I responded, giving him an assuring smile “Not like anyone in this company knows that I am the CEO! Only my P.A and my secretary are aware of my identity. Plus I'm only going into there
{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
