Ivy's POV…

“I don’t want another tutor.”

Tracy’s voice was low. Her head was lowered as she mumbled.

I closed the door behind me and walked further into the room. “I heard that.”

She shifted slightly but didn’t raise her head to look at me.

I sat on the edge of the bed. “You don’t have a choice, Tracy.”

She scoffed. “My decision in this house matters more than yours,"

That was like a slap to my face. I knew I was just a housekeeper. Definitely, my decisions wouldn't matter, but hearing it from

  • The Night He Found Me   Chapter 20

    Third person's POV…Julian sat behind his desk, his attention fixed on the glowing screen of his laptop. Lines of financial reports filled the display as his fingers moved across the keyboard.The office was quiet except for the soft tapping of keys.Then his phone rang. Julian frowned slightly.He glanced away from the laptop and picked up the phone, checking the caller ID.Tracy.His brows furrowed immediately. Why was Tracy calling at this time?A strange feeling crept into his chest. Did something happen at home? He answered the call quickly.“Hey, baby,” he said gently. “How are you doing?”“Daddy…” Tracy’s small voice came through the phone. Something was wrong.“I’m not fine.”Julian straightened in his chair. “What happened?”“Ivy is not back yet.”Julian blinked.“What do you mean Ivy is not back yet?” he asked quickly. “She was at the house this morning.”“She went to get some items at the supermarket,” Tracy explained. “She said she was going shopping for things we needed a

    Ivy's POV…I stared Mary down, my pulse thundering in my ears, but I didn't flinch. I felt a strength I never knew I possessed rising up to meet her malice."I am never coming back to that house," I said, my voice cold and steady.Mary opened her mouth to snap back, but I stepped closer, looking her straight in the eyes. “I said I’m never coming back to that house,” I repeated slowly, my voice colder this time. “Do your worst.”I was boiling. Eight years of suppressed rage, eight years of being a ghost in my own home, all culminated in that one look. I hated her. I hated everything she represented.Mary tilted her head slightly. “Do my worst, huh?”Her tone dropped dangerously as she leaned closer, her expression shifting. Her perfume hitting my nose like poison.“My worst… will cost lives.”A chill ran down my spine, but I refused to show it. Then she straightened again, her expression turning hard.“That’s exactly why you’re coming with me,” she said flatly. “Whether you like it or

  • The Night He Found Me   Chapter 18

    Ivy's POV…I stared at Julian, the intensity of his gaze making the air in the room feel heavy. The question echoed in my mind: Have you ever loved someone before?The question lingered between us like something fragile.My fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the bed. For a second, I forgot how to breathe.Have I?My mind searched desperately, flipping through memories like torn pages. Faces. Moments. Almosts. What-ifs.No. Not like that.I swallowed and finally looked up at him.“If you mean romantically…” I began slowly, choosing my words carefully, “then no. I’ve never loved anyone like that before.”His eyes didn’t leave mine.“But if you mean love in general,” I continued softly, “then yes. I loved my mother. I loved my father too… before everything happened.”Julian reclined against the dark mahogany headboard, his eyes softening. "Do you mind telling me what exactly happened?"I hesitated.There are stories you tell easily. And there are stories that still hurt when yo

  • The Night He Found Me   Chapter 17

    Ivy's POV…I watched Tracy’s eyes blink rapidly in surprise, her little face scrunched up in confusion.​"What? What makes you think Dad loves Celine?" she asked, her voice rising in pitch.​I immediately felt a wave of regret wash over me. Why did I have to bring that up?I didn't want her to think I was some nosy intruder who spent her time digging through a child's private belongings. I quickly covered my hand with hers, trying to soften the blow. "Well, I saw something in your room... a note" I quickly raised my hands in defense. “Mind you, I wasn't going through your stuff! I was just arranging things and it was on the floor. Curiosity got the better of me."​Tracy stared at me for a second, then her expression cleared. "Ah, I think I know what you mean now."​She grabbed my hand, dragging me toward the door, with more strength than I expected. "Come on," she whispered, looking back at her father’s bed to make sure we weren't waking him.​Once we were inside her room, she rushed

  • The Night He Found Me   Chapter 16

    Ivy's POV…I stood rooted to the spot, my wrist still tingling from the heat of Julian’s grip. Susan. The name echoed in my mind like a rhythmic heartbeat.He loved her. He still loved her so much that he called out for her in the depths of a fever. My thoughts began to spiral, who was she truly? Why did everyone speak of her in shadows?Gently, I removed his fingers from my wrist and hurried out. I returned quickly with a basin of cool water, dabbing his forehead with a soft towel, trying to ignore the way my heart ached at his vulnerability. I looked at him and also thought of Tracy. Even though she obeyed me and went into her room, I knew she must be restless. I knew then that I wouldn't rest until I found out what had really happened to the woman who left this void in their lives.__________The doctor stepped out of Julian’s room, closing the door softly behind him. Caroline and I were waiting at the foot of the stairs, tension thick enough to cut."Doctor, how is he?" I asked,

  • The Night He Found Me   Chapter 15

    Ivy's POV…I ran to my room, panting all the way. I didn’t even remember leaving Tracy’s room properly. One second I was staring at that photograph with the name Susan written beneath it, and the next I was in my room, slamming the door shut behind me. My heart was racing.My eyes landed on the drawer. “The note” I whispered softly. I rushed to it immediately and pulled the first drawer open. Nothing. Just folded scarves and a few random items.I yanked it shut and opened the second drawer. It contained my books. My old notebooks. Some loose sheets.I opened the last drawer, it wasn't there. I sighed in exasperation.“Wait. Wait, wait, wait…” I muttered under my breath.I opened the second drawer again and I brought out the books and began flipping through them frantically. I emptied half the contents onto the floor, scanning each page as if the letter would magically appear between them. Still nothing.I stepped back, chest heaving. Where did I keep it?I distinctly remembered hold
