Nathan Henry traveled back to his building the next day after meeting up with Tarquin, he had slept over in a five-star hotel with one of his numerous mistresses.He went back to prepare for Tarquin's wedding party which he invited him to.But on getting back to his Villa, he was informed that his Father had summoned him. He decided to honor his Father's call. An hour later, he was on his way to his Father's mansion on the outskirts of the city where he temporarily stays when he comes to visit the city from their clan.When he got to his Father's Villa, he drove into the huge compound. He packed his car and strode into the gigantic mansion. He met his Father, drinking herbal tea in the living room with two of his mistresses sitting close to him in half-clad dresses. He was still looking as young as ever even though he was over 60.This got Henry angry as he recalled how much he used to hate his father's mistresses while growing up, but he waved it off and bowed in greeting. His fath
Mrs. Caroline and Ivy had to return home early when she got a call from her daughter, Morgan, that she was returning home to attend Tarquin's wedding party the next day. She had been staying abroad almost all her life, it was since she was eight that she left the country.Tarquin had later joined her there when he clocked fifteen and since they loved each other, they grew up together very close.How could she miss her brother's wedding and now his wedding party, Morgan couldn't imagine that so she decided to fly back to the country and be her brother's support in case anyone tried to mess with him.She had earlier called Tarquin to inform him of her decision to come back but Tarquin had been against it. He even discouraged her from coming but she refused."You cannot stop me, I wanna come home, I want to see mom and also meet your bride too," Morgan had insisted a day earlier when she talked on the phone with Tarquin.Tarquin didn't want her to come back and meet Ivy because he knew ho
It was all an imagination because Ivy never left the spot she was standing nor did she spare another glance at his naked body. She only closed her eyes, wishing that he leaves soon so she can be able to walk out of the bedroom. She didn't trust her legs, knowing they were wobbly and would fail her if she tried to summon the courage to leave.Like he understood what was going on with Ivy, Tarquin left as he walked into the bathroom, quickly Ivy dashed out of the room on hearing the bathroom door close.She relaxed on the wall beside the door drawing in deep breath, she was almost short of breath as she never breathed properly while he was in the room with her.After some minutes of catching her breath, Ivy harmonized herself before she started heading downstairs to meet Mrs Caroline.She didn't want her to notice that she was still very much nervous around Tarquin and how all the self-confidence she had gathered at the mall had disappeared just in a few minutes of him being in the same
Ivy was restless as she paced up and down in the bedroom. Morgan was the last person she was expecting to see or meet, not after what happened to her and the pain she put her through before she was forced to relocate to heal which was how she ended up with Tarquin.Ivy wanted to punch the wall or hit something to scream out the burning pain she was feeling. She had promised back then before relocating that when she next met Morgan, she would make sure she pulled off her hair but how can she do so now when Morgan had ended up being her sister-in-law.After the incident earlier, she had rushed back upstairs as Morgan's presence brought back all the memories she had been trying so hard to bury, and at the same time, she was afraid because of the expensive wine and glasses she shattered out of the shock of seeing Morgan, she knew Tarquin was mad, that was the reason why she had locked herself up, to sort herself and also stay away from his rage for the time being until she can be able to a
Tarquin stood beside Ivy as they entertained more guests. He had been trying to dodge this but he knew he could not, in order not to raise suspicions, he had to walk side by side with Ivy to welcome the guests and exchange pleasantries with some personalities, most importantly, he had to introduce Ivy as his wife to them.It was at least good that she appeared like a noblewoman of their class after being dressed as one which wouldn't raise questions among the guests in terms of where she is from and her family.Ivy who followed him, like a puppy following its owner, could hardly breathe properly. Tagging alongside him as he introduced her to people who cared to know was the longest she had been in his presence since they got married, she knew he had to do what he was doing, showing her a little affection as he tried smiling at her whenever he introduced her to people but deep down, Ivy knew he was being forced to act that way with her.She didn't even know he had forgiven her for what
The wedding party came to an end without it being ruined by anyone as Mrs Caroline had feared from the onset but there was a problem on Ivy's part; the woman she saw Tarquin kissing on the beach at the back of the hotel."Who was she?" She had been asking herself as she stared at them from a distance. Earlier on when she saw Tarquin leaving, she had an instinct to follow him without knowing the reason why she should do so.She knew that if he found out that she was following him, he would get mad and might hurt her. She didn't even know he had forgiven her yet for what she did but Ivy kept the trail and continued following him until she saw a female figure heading towards Tarquin's direction.Before the female figure could sight her, she hid, luckily, her wedding party gown was black so it wasn't hard for her to blend in the dark and hide so well.Ivy watched the female figure walk towards Tarquin and hug him from behind, the rays of the moon giving light to their surroundings.Ivy wan
"Ok, ma," Ivy replied and Mrs Caroline finally raised her head to smile at Ivy. "The maids have packed your pieces of luggage, you can leave now. I'll also take my leave." Mrs. Caroline informed. A bitter smile surfaced on Caroline's face but she gritted her teeth and tried to hide it. "Yes, ma," Ivy replied to Mrs. Caroline who began to leave the hotel. Ivy also followed the maid who began to lead her toward the parked car. Ivy got in after biding Mrs. Caroline goodbye She fell into deep thoughts thinking about what she'd do and how she would face the two siblings who were nothing but a bone stuck in her neck.Ivy and Tarquin are more like enemies than married couples while Morgan and Ivy are more of longtime enemies, how's she going to live in that house? "Madam, we have arrived here." The driver who was driving Ivy home suddenly announced which woke Ivy from her thoughts. "Okay," Ivy replied with a sigh and got down from the car. Her heart began to pound in fear. She didn't
Ivy frowned slightly and stared at the Tarquin and Emma, but none of them paid her attention even when she sat down. It was as if Tarquin and Emma didn't even see her."Good morning." Ivy decided to greet Tarquin since she and Tarquin weren't just ordinary strangers; they were now bound together by marriage. Tarquin finally raised his head after hearing Ivy's greeting. He stared at Ivy's face but after doing so, he lowered his head and didn't say anything. Ivy frowned at Tarquin's disrespect. Not only did he kick her out to sleep in the guest room, there was another woman in the house, and now he's even ignoring her greeting. "May I know who she's?" Ivy asked while staring at the both of them coldly. Emma finally raised her head and smirked evilly. Instead of replying to Ivy's question, Emma moved closer to Tarquin and placed a kiss on his cheeks boldly to flaunt her ownership. Ivy gasped at Emma's bold actions. She stood up and pointed at the two angrily. "How dare you...""How d
