They had arrived to their mansion, Ivanna's parents were so happy that Ash accepted their favor to know Ivanna more.
"Thank you for bringing our daughter safe." Langston handed him.
"It's a pleasure, sir." Ash replied.
Ivanna was fixing the things they had bought a while back.
"Honey, you bought too much. What are those?" her mom asks her.
She just smiled at her, making her mom curious.
"Mom, it's my clothes. you know, some of my clothes were already small for me." she said.
"Oh I'm sorry that I forgot to shop for you." Tina said.
Tina was watching her daughter, she was so happy and grateful. Ivanna caught her staring at her.
"Mom, what are you staring at?" she asked.
"Nothing, you've grown so fast." she said.
Ivanna awed and already know where their conversation was heading already.
"Mom, stop it. i don't want you to make a drama here in my room." she said.
Her mom laughed.
"You're really my daughter." she said.
"okay, I'll go down and I'll call you later for dinner." she said.
"yes mom." she said.
Tina left her room, Ivanna started to sort the clothes that doesn't fit her anymore. She forgot to call Ivy.
"Hello Ivy, how are you there?" she asked.
"Good to here from you, I'm good actually." Ivy replied.
Ivanna sighed, Ivy heard from the other line.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"ivy, don't freak out okay." she said.
"Okay, what is it?" Ivy asked.
"Promise me, you'll never freak out?" she asked again.
"Gosh, Ivanna! Can you just spill it now?" Ivy was curious.
"Okay then, I'm going to get married." she said.
Ivy from the other line went mute, Ivanna was calling her attention but she was in shock.
"I told you." Ivanna said and ended the call.
After a minute, Ivy was calling her back, Ivanna smiled.
"I knew it." she said.
"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Ivy freaks out.
"No, I'm not." she said.
"Goodness gracious, who is that unlucky man?" she asked.
"Ivy." she said.
Ivy laughed out.
"I'm sorry, but who is he?" she asked again.
"His name is Ash." she said.
"Woah, sounds cool." Ivy said.
"Can you tell me his full name so that I can research it." Ivy demanded.
Ivanna wanted to laugh, Ivy is just so demandrous and her curiousity kills her. Ivanna told his name and that Ivy really search for it.
"Oh my God!" Ivy shouted.
Ivanna was doomed.
"Why? what's wrong?" she asked.
"Ivanna,he's so damn hot. Are you kidding me??! he's so handsome and yummy brrrr." Ivy said, Ivanna was laughing.
"Ivy, stop it." she said giggling.
Ivy was so happy that she's going to marry some rich and yummy man, she also told her to call her when is her wedding for her to come and that Ivy is going to the maid of honor. Ivy was very excited to her wedding.
"Ivanna!" Ivanna heard her mom shouted so she ended the call.
"Coming!" she shouted back and went downstairs.
They're having a dinner, her mom was really a good cook.
"So honey, how's your day with him?" her dad asks.
"Well, it's quiet fun actually. I didn't expect that he's so kind and polite." she said.
Tina and Langston stares at each other, very happy.
"That's good then, one day you're going to marry already." her dad said.
She asks her parents when is her wedding day and that it wasn't still settled. Ivanna doesn't hate them for making her marry a stranger. Ivanna was smiling while thinking how Ash protected her from the woman to the mall, her parents were watching her smiling alone.
"Ivanna?" her mom approaches her.
But still, she was on her own world. Langston signals his wife not to approach her. Ivanna headed to her room to wash and brush her teeth. She was humming while folding her clothes.
Ash went home to his condo, he doesn't want to go to their mansion. It's not that he hates his parents but he wants peace. One reason for him to accept marrying Ivanna was to move on from his past lover. He was staring at Andrea's photo with him taken during watching the sunset, it was taken by his best friend, Ezekiel.
"I know you're already happy wherever you are." he said and crampled the photo.
He threw to the trash bin and slight raises his head to the sky. He must be thinking about his future, he was curious about Ivanna so he did some searching before meeting her.
"I can tell, Ivanna can make me forget about you. It's not that I'm using her but looks like it." he was like crazy talking to himself. He just sighed and calls Ezekiel to come over his condo.
"Dude, is she hot?" Ezekiel asks him.
"Ezekiel." he blurted.
"I know, but is she?" he asks again.
Ash told him just to search about her profile.
"She's so pretty." Ezekiel said.
Ash just smiled and scoffs
"Stop it, playboy." he said.
"Wait, who is this?" he asks zooming the photo and seeing the woman beside Ivanna to the image.
"I think that she's her best friend, Ivy the name I guess." he said.
Ash just remembers her name when her parents told her that she was with her best friend studying in Harvard.
"You're right, Ivy Simmons is her name." Ezekiel said.
Ezekiel is such a stalker, they just took out some beers from his refrigerator. This is his life when he was bored, he'll ask his best friend to come over to drink with him.
"So, are you sure to marry her? no to back out." his best friend said.
"Yeah, I'll do it for my parents to stop approaching me and besides Ivanna is cute." he said.
Ezekiel teases him.
"Did you fall out already?" he asked.
Ash just glared at him and that Ezekiel remembered Andrea.
"How about Andrea?" he asks him.
Ash just went mute.
Ezekiel was staring at his best friend, he knew how much he loves Andrea and how they loved each other. He thinks that Andrea still loves him too until now, it's not just they were fated to each other."Dwayne, How long is she been there already?" he asks him.Ash just drinks his beer."Maybe two years already." he said."It's been too long, I guess." Ezekiel said.It's hard for Ash to move on from her, Andrea was his first love and ever first girlfriend so far. Ezekiel could see that he's still in love with her."Don't tell me, you're going to marry your fiancee for you to move on?" he asks.Ash nodded, he was stunned."What if she'll come back?" he asked."I don't know." he said.Ezekiel just sighed."You know what, If I'm in your place i'm going to forget about my past and just think about my future. Dude, marry your fiancee to be your future not to move on from your past." he said.Ash was startl
"Thank you so much for showing me around, you're so kind." Ivanna said to Ezekiel. Ezekiel had enjoyed her company, Ivanna is so sweet and kind and every man would fall for that kind of woman. Ivanna went ahead to meet her parents, Ezekiel is on his way to meet Dwayne. "I'm so sorry." Ezekiel said. "Nah, It's okay. You sure you just showed her around, not to flirt with her?" Dwayne asked. With his tone, Ezekiel thought he was jealous. "Wait, you asks too many questions. Are you jealous?" Ezekiel asked. Ash almost throw up his coffee to him, he just glared at him. Ezekiel was smiling with matching teasing of his tone. "Nah, I'm not and will never be." Ash said firm. Ezekiel smirks and scoffs. "Come on man, you're going to eat your words some day." he said. Ash just ignored him. What do you think? Is he going to eat his words later? Ezekiel was very sure he's going to fall for her. "Dwayne, Ivanna
Ivanna decided to stroll out the mall."God, I'm already bored." she murmured.She went to sit at the cafe thinking what to do next where to go next."Wait, What will I go to Ash." she was thinking."Okay! I'll go." she said.She picked up her stuffs and went to catch a cab, Good thing she asked her parents where is Ash's office."Thank you! Have a nice day." she said to the driver and even gave him a tip for entertainging her while on the road.Ivanna stares at the bigs company in front of her."Wow." she said.Ivanna went ahead, she greeted the guard. They didn't know she was Ash's fiancee. All of the staffs were staring at her, she went to the front desk to ask where is his office."Excuse me, where is Mr. Villareal's office?" she asked.The woman, whos the clerk was just staring at her."Hey." she repeated."I'm sorry but do you have an appointment?" the woman asked.The tone of her
Ivanna was just watching him, she wants to walk but her right foot still aches. Her foot also buldge. Ash can see her, trying hard to get up."Just sit down, i'll drop you off later to your home." he said.Ivanna wanted to smile, Ash was being good to her while she was hurt. She was thinking, to hurt herself always for him to take care of her always but she just laugh at her thought. Ash gives her the book she wanted to get a while back for her to have something to do."Wow, this book is epic." she said.Ash could hear her every words, he hated noisy people. Ivanna was already bored, she just played with her phone. She was playing candy crush, her phone's volume was too loud. Ash couldn't concentrate."I can't believe, I'm going to marry this psycho." he murmured."Dang! I lost!" Ivanna shouted.Ash groaned."Ugh, Can you please keep your volume down? Somebody's trying to get some work here." he said.Ivanna must not hea
Ash waited for her to wake up, Ivanna woke up exactly five in the afternoon. She realizes a jacket was covered on her, she smiled to see it was Ash who was wearing it a while ago."I'm sorry, I overslept." she said."It's okay, you ready?" he asked her.Ivanna nodded."Let's go home." he said.Ash holds her while on the elevator until the lobby. Ivanna was sho shy, all of eyes were on them."Who's that?""Dang!""Is that the girl a while back?""Wait, is that the CEO's girl friend?"That's all they heard, Ivanna was just staring at Ash. Ash doesn't care about the gossips. Ivanna was very near to his face and that she can his heart beating so fast."Hey, I can walk from here." she said.She wanted to go down but ASh doesn't want her to walk, it might sprain her foot more. They were both silent inside the car."Thank you." she said.Ash was surprised, he didn't see that coming from her mo
"Can you give me a sign?" she said staring at the dark night sky."Sign if it's a good decision to marry him." she added.She almost freaked out to see a wishing star just passed by."Oh my God." she whisperedAnd that she decided to make a wish."I wish to have a beautiful married life with Ash even we don't love each other." she said closing her eyes.She sighed and stares the stars. God gave her the sign she want and now she was so happy and very relieved to marry him."We might not love each other, but I guess we can learn how to love each other. I believe that." she said smiling.Ivanna was thinking positive for her future, thinking Ash's face near her, she keeps on giggling. Ash was also on his veranda thinking so deep. His mom was behind him, she knows he was thinking for his ex again."Dwayne." she said."Mom." he said."I know you're thinking about her again." she said.Ash didn't react, his
Week passed, her foot has recovered. Ivanna was staring at her reflection. "Wow, you look so beautiful in that gown." Ivy said. It was their wedding day, Ivy helps her inside her room to change and do her make-up. She doesn't want to hire some make-up artist for she just wants a natural and just light make-up. "This is it." Ivanna sighed. Ivy was so proud of her, but in fact she's not marrying someone she loves. Chritina Hendrix entered to check up on her daughter. "Wow." her mother gasped. "You look stunning." Tina said. Ivanna just chuckles. Her mother was starting to tear up, Ivy went out to give them some privacy. "Mom." she said. Tina graciously wipes her tears with tissue. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry." she said. Ivanna just caressed her mother's face. Her mother was guilty for letting them marry someone that is a stranger for their daughter. Their dad went in to tell them they're going
Ivanna and Ash moved to their new house, which their parents bought for them."Wow, this is beautiful." she said."I know." he said, full of air.Ivanna rolls her eyes.They started to unpack their stuffs. Inside the house, it was almost complete. they already have tv, and others also groceries. Ash checks it all, he wanted to make sure that every thing is complete and quiet nice."Impreesive, all are here." he murmured.Ivanna went to their room, she was stunned. They have king size bed, and their room was very wide. Ash followed her behind, they had no choice but to sleep in one room besides they're already married."Woman, we're going to sleep together putting this pillow in between us." he said, holding a long big pillow.Ivanna wanted to laugh, but she just agree to him. She quickly ran to the right side of the bed telling."This is my side." she said."Whatever, woman." he said.Ivanna was pissed.
