No Place for You Chapter 8 At Last
"What happened to you?"Stellan's face suddenly loomed right in front of mine. I recoiled in fright, but he just stared at me with bloodshot eyes, a smile slowly spreading across his face. "Ivy, you still care about me. You still love me, don't you? Everything back then was Amelia's scheme. She deliberately got close to me, forced me into marrying her—it was all for my money. "Ivy, I was wrong back then. Give me one more chance, okay? I'll take you and our son far away. We'll start over."I looked at the twisted expression on Stellan's face and didn't dare move recklessly. His mental state was clearly unstable.He grabbed my shoulders and shook me wildly. "Alright, Ivy? Let's live happily together as a family. Will you?""Yes—yes, I will!" I answered loudly without hesitation. Only then did he slowly calm down. "Good. Then, we leave right now."He began pacing around the warehouse, as if packing things up.My feet were shackled tightly to the chair with iron chains. While he wa
No Place for You Chapter 7 Love, As He Understood It
I was just a small fry, a nobody, and I didn't want blood on my hands. A family like the Graveses would collapse sooner or later on its own. There was no need for me to dirty myself over it.But our restraint was misread. Stellan took it as proof that I still had feelings for him and that Beckett didn't dare move against him."Ivy, Amelia has nowhere to go. She can't divorce me," Stellan shouted from outside the villa gates, blocked by the bodyguards. "But she said she's willing to accept you being with me."It was as if he'd finally worked up the courage to say it. Gritting his teeth, he yelled, "Even if the child is Beckett's, Amelia and I can accept it. I can be the kid's father. I know Beckett must've used money to force you to stay with him. You still love me. Come back to me—I'll protect you."…Inside the house, Beckett—whom I had been holding back—clenched his fists and suddenly stood up, unable to endure it any longer. "That bastard really wants to meet his maker."
No Place for You Chapter 6 What You Called Love
Whatever questions Stellan had been ready to throw out died on his tongue the moment he saw me. "How are you feeling?" he asked.I shot him a flat look. "Are you blind?""Amelia really crossed the line this time," he said stiffly. "She's realized her mistake. Don't hold it against her."I'd been battered bloody, and I wasn't supposed to hold it against her?!"Even if she wouldn't, I will." Beckett turned his cold gaze on Stellan. "Since you love her so much, you can bear my retaliation together with her. Get out."The moment he heard Beckett mention retaliation against Amelia, Stellan panicked and rushed to explain. "Ivy, what I feel for Amelia is nothing more than sibling affection. I don't love her. I never did. The only one I've ever loved is you.""You're ridiculous, Graves." I stared straight into his eyes. "You don't love her, yet you protected her at every turn and married her; you loved me, yet you dumped me right before our engagement and married someone else—then came c
No Place for You Chapter 5 My Son Has a Father
Beckett had just finished signing the contract. Dressed in a finely tailored suit, he should have looked cool and untouchable, all calm elegance and restraint—but instead, he rushed straight to my side, panic written all over his face. He reached out and gently stroked my head, only to feel something wet. When he lifted his hand and looked down, his palm was smeared with blood."Who did this?" he growled as he turned toward the crowd, his gaze locking instantly onto Stellan and Amelia. He grabbed Stellan by the collar and yanked him forward. "Some nerve you have to still hurt Ivy! Are you asking to meet your maker?!"Stellan was slammed back against the wall as Beckett's fist came down hard on his face. He was about to strike back, but when he finally made out Beckett's face, he froze, his raised fist dropping limply to his side. "Mr. Calloway… what are you doing here?"Amelia panicked, completely losing her head. She grabbed her handbag and hurled it at Beckett. "Let go of him! W
No Place for You Chapter 4 When the Crowd Turned Against Me
"I dare you to lay a hand on my son!"Stellan grabbed my arm. "Ivy, let go of Amelia. She didn't mean it. If anything, this is on you—you kept the child from me all these years. Otherwise, Amelia wouldn't be this upset."I didn't care what Stellan said about me, but I would never allow them to lay a finger on my son. I released Amelia's wrist and, with even greater force, slapped Stellan hard across the face. "Keep your woman in line. If she as much as lays a finger on my boy, I'll make her pay.""How dare you hit Stellan?!" Amelia shrieked. "Do you have any idea who he is now? He's the general manager of his family's business. He can crush you without lifting a finger. Don't think having his son makes you special—the Graves family will never accept you. Even if I leave, you'll never be the next Mrs. Graves."I snorted. That kind of title only mattered to Amelia. "Mrs. Graves? Please—only a dog would want it.""You… You're insulting me?!" Amelia clung to Stellan's arm, her gaze tu
No Place for You Chapter 3 Their Version of the Truth
Because I didn't want to expose our identities, the father's name was never filled on Ollie's kindergarten records. So the teachers had never known who his father was.The moment Stellan heard that the father's column was empty, his certainty only deepened. "Ivy, you've had it hard all these years raising a child alone. You've been stubborn long enough. Come home with me."Ollie didn't understand what we were arguing about. He only leaned close to my ear and whispered softly, "Mommy, are we not eating fries anymore?"As if he'd heard something unforgivable, Stellan exploded. "Ivy Stein, how could you let my son eat that kind of junk? You used to love those cheap street foods, and now you're dragging my son along to eat filthy food like that too?! What if something happens to him? Can you take responsibility for that? He's my family's sole heir!"I couldn't believe him. Since when did having the nanny make fresh fries at home for my baby count as unhygienic now?!I ignored Stellan
