Chapter Forty-Two Cole   After three interminable months of thorough search for her, I was finally heading to Ivy's new place. Billy had finally found her and given me the address so I could go and tell her I loved her and ask her to marry me. There was no way I would let her go without doing everything I can to keep her.Eric's image glued to her shadow that night was stuck in my memory and it drove me crazy. I knew something was wrong the moment I saw her avoiding gaze.But I could not believe she just left me to go with him instead without a tangible reason.  To say the truth, that night felt like hell and If it wasn't for Brad I'd probably never see her again. Flashback"Miss Pitterson, congratulations!”  the headmaster called her name the moment Ivy was about to leave but she did not spare me a single

Chapter Forty-Four Ivy "He is in intensive care" Anna told meI felt tears blurring my sight and a lump in my throat made it hard for me to breathe or hear a word more. I unplugged myself, tossing the transfusion I had and rushed out of  bed  and ran to see where he was. I made it along the corridor following the signs on the walls. when Ireached the intensive care area the nurses forbid me from entering , only I could see him through the door glass.Cole was plugged to a monitor, his torso covered in bandage and he was breathing into a mask of oxygen. My heart torn in pieces, I felt weak in the knees at his sight. I stood outside the room Cole was in, wearing only my hospital robe. I don't even remember how I ended up here , all I could think about or see was him.His che

Chapter Forty-Six Ivy   I hurried downstairs to the reception,  I almost stumbled at two nurses who were  coming up.I had to apologize before I made my way to the reception. Then I saw the man who was with the detective  so I hurried towards him instead" Where is he ? How is he ?  and who  the hell are you ?" I asked  in a trembling voice . I panicked . and I think that I was yelling"Calm down he is fine ! I transferred him  to an individual room "The man calmly replied to my questions  on a softer tone, taking a step forward in my direction." Who are you and why did you transfer him ? how could you even do that " I  obviously couldn’t  calm down unless I saw Cole with my own eyes and know that he was safe." I'm Cole's relative, and I transferred him so you could stay wi

I slowly opened my eyes to an empty room, the bluish walls  and white curtains that surrounded me indicated that I was in a hospital room."Ivy ?"  I could feel her hand In mine . My eyelids felt heavy  so I surrendered to the comfort of the darkness. FlashbackIvy's body was on the floor  not moving…I felt something piercing through my back. .. I've seen the blood on Ivy's white  dress …the fear of losing her to those  men..She was completely dull on the ground, her white floating dress stained with my blood …"Baby please wake up!".

Chapter Fifty Ivy I woke up on the couch about an hour later. I looked around the apartment and realized that I fell asleep .…. Billy asked me to stay in this apartment and said he won't  be longThe place I'm staying in might belong to him and there were  guards at the entrance to insure my safety.

And sat comfortably  on the couch near me while two other men in a suit stood beside me."How  did… who are you ?"  I froze for a while and then I quickly grabbed a knife on the kitchen counter  and aimed it at him but he seemed unfazed.
