Ivy Sullivan’ Pov “That’s impossible!” I said. “It’s true. Log into social media, the news is trending there.” “Ivy did mention something like that when I last spoke to her,” I muttered, “ I thought she was making it up. But if it’s true, why didn’t Victor tell me?” “You’ll have to ask him. For now, what are you going to do? Your plan will change right?” “It will. You can forget looking for a replacement for Ivy, I’ll come out of hiding and take over myself. But first, I’ll speak to Victor.” I immediately called him “Hey-“ “Victor, Paul can walk, why where you keeping it from me?” I demanded. “I was just about to call and tell you.” “After how long? I asked you before and you denied it.” “Because I wasn’t sure. He was keeping it from me too. I just found out yesterday, when he came from hospital after the surgery.” I didn’t know whether or not to believe him, but I had more important things to worry about. “The plan has to change then. I’ll have

Ivy’s Pov We both stared awkwardly. “About the plans I’ve made for your merger party.” Victor said quickly. “Ivy insists on hearing them, but it's a surprise for you both.” “Guess we’ll have to wait then.” Paul smiled at me. I forced a smile “You better keep your mouth shut.” Victor warned after Paul left, “remember you'll be in a whole heap of trouble if you say anything. Impersonation is a crime too.” I glared at him as he walked away. As much as I hated to admit it, he was right. Telling Paul what I’d overheard would put me in a lot of trouble. But I would tell him. Soon. And I made up my mind I wasn’t going anywhere. Whatever Victor and Ivy Sullivan were planning against Paul, they’d have to go through me. *********** Ivy Sullivan’s Pov The next morning I phoned Ivy to remind her to get her dumb ass to the mall by noon. I was surprised to hear how cold her tone was when she answered. “I hope your bags are packed. I don’t want any excuses.” I told her.

Ivy’s Pov My heart stopped. “He has?” Paul nodded. “I can explain,” I stammered. “You don’t have to.” Paul interrupted, “he told me you’ve been feeling guilty about what happened after my accident. About the way you treated me when you thought I'd never walk again.” I stared at him open mouthed. “I know you regret it, Ivy. But you don’t have to keep beating yourself up about it.” “Paul, there’s something I have to tell—” “Like I said, you don’t have to explain.” He walked toward me and took my hands. “I forgive you.” “You don’t understand. I’m not—” “I know you were scared. We were both scared. But that’s behind us now.” “Paul-“ “Whatever happened, it’s in the past now. We should look forward.” His kissed me. “I love you.” I stared at him helplessly. It would be easier for me to talk if he’d stop interrupting. “I have something for you.” He said and picked up a small jewelry case sitting on his table. He handed it to me and I opened it reluctantly. Inside wer

Ivy’s Pov Even though I’d been expecting this, I was still shocked. “Hold on, what’s going on?” James asked. “Ms. Carter kidnapped Ms. Sullivan and has been impersonating her ever since.” A cop explained. “What!” Victor exclaimed. “Stop pretending. You already know the truth.” I snapped at him. “And I didn’t kidnap anyone. Ivy Sullivan paid me to do this. Please believe me.” I looked desperately at Paul who hadn’t said a word. He was staring at me in shock and disappointment. “You can explain at the station.” The cop said as they took me away. “Paul please let me explain!” I begged. I was put in the back of the police car and taken away. I felt like criminal. At the station the cops told me they’d found evidence of the kidnapping . “We found the key to the house she was being held in your office,” they told me, “and texts and emails on your phone discussing the kidnapping.” “That’s not my phone.” I insisted. “Clive planted that on me this evening. He works for Iv

James was waiting in the living room when Paul got home that evening. “You're late for dinner Paul.” James said. “With all the insanity going on I can’t even remember food.” Paul slumped on the sofa. “How is Ivy doing?” “Which Ivy? The real one or the deceiver?” “I know you’re mad at her, but you still care about her.” “She’s a liar and a criminal. I can’t believe I was dumb enough not to see that she was a fake.” “Maybe because she cared about you. You said yourself you’d never have gotten better if not for her.” “I know.” He sighed. “But she’s a criminal. Look what she did to Ivy.” “Are you sure? Have you heard her side of the story?” “Yeah, I went to see her this afternoon.” He told him his conversation with Ivy Carter. “It sounds crazy, but I kind of believe her.” James said. “Why?” “All the time she was here she really cared about you, everything she did shows that. Do you really think such a person would hurt someone?” “I don’t know what to think or
