All Chapters of Substitute Luna, Runaway With His Quadruplets: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Ivy’s POV I stand at the doorway of the villa and watch the thing I never wanted to happen, happen. I told Thomas and Ryder to keep Olivia at the pond until they were certain Dawson and Theodore were gone.The children said good bye to their great grandfather before Theodore arrived for that very reason! I didn’t want Theodore to see Olivia. But now he has!I’m frozen. I watch Ryder, Thomas and Olivia walk towards the villa and Theodore turn off the engine of his car and get out. Just then he sees me at the front of the villa and walks to me.“Another child, Ivy? Who is this now?” Theodore asks.“My daughter Olivia,” I say. Now the group is near and can hear everything. Thomas and Ryder are concerned knowing they have caused this problem.“And she’s been here all along?” Theodore asks.“No, she came with Grandfather.” I’m trying to think quickly, come up with a believable plan.“So she’s Noah’s sister? Thomas’ child too?” he asks.The group has arrived.“Theodore, good morning,” Thom

Ivy’s POV It’s 3 am and everyone’s awake. There’s been a break-in at the villa! Even with all of the security! This place is unsafe.“I got a glimpse of him running into the forest,” Ryder says. “You know I got the impression that it might be that Sterling boy, Jonathan.”I sit holding the twins and Thomas is next to me holding me tightly.“We’re not safe here,” I say. “We need to go home. No matter what Theodore thinks about his security, it was breached. We could have been killed in our beds!”“I agree,” Thomas says. “Let’s go now! We shouldn’t spend another minute among the Silver Claw Pack. Terrible things happen to you here, my love.”“Ivy, I agree,” Ryder says. “It’s too dangerous here. Imagine if I hadn’t heard him. He was in the twins room. He might have done anything! That family hates you.”I know what they’re saying is true. At the same time I want to finish the business agreement, we’re so close.“Thomas, maybe you and the twins can go home. Let me and Ryder finish with t

Theodore’s POVIvy and the children leave for Grandma Susan’s and we try to finish the negotiations in the evening.“So did you get the data that you needed?” I ask Ryder.“Unfortunately not. They’re working on it at Ice Moon. They promise me it will be no later than tomorrow afternoon.”“Ivy will not be pleased. She will not want to spend another night here,” I say. Though I want to keep her here until the paternity tests come though, so it works in my favour.“Have you told her?” I ask him.“Yes, she knows. They’re on their way back. She knows we’ll sleep here.” Ryder says. “Keep your security in place until we have left for home.”I bulk at his orders. Is he forgetting who I am? “I was going to do that. I don’t need to be ordered by a security guard from Ice Moon.”He ignores my words. “Tonight I want to look for Jonathan Sterling. I need to teach him a few things. I hope you will keep your police out of my way.”“I won’t allow that,” I tell him. “I told you clearly that I will d

Theo’s POV I managed to keep Ivy here for another night thanks to Tiffany’s madness. She bought an engagement ring for herself so that she could put on that stunt for Ivy. Apparently she even told her family that we’re engaged. It would have annoyed me a lot but it worked in my favour this time. Ivy had to stay another night so I got a bit more time.I called the paternity testing place and they said the results will be out before they close in the evening. Now it’s for me to postpone the meeting until night. I know Ivy will be livid but I must. They will need to spend another night at the villa and leave tomorrow morning.I’m at breakfast alone and my phone rings. Conveniently it’s Ivy.“So when are we meeting today? I hoped it would be this morning,” she says.“Ivy, I feel terrible about all of this. I thought by now the agreement would be signed and you’d be gone. My day is booked with back-to- back meetings. I can only meet tonight to sign the papers. Maybe about 7 pm.”“That’s

Ivy’s POV I can’t believe what I’m seeing. I grab the paper from Theodore’s hand. It’s a paternity test for both the twins. It says it’s a 100% chance that neither of the children are his. How can that be? Tiffany pushes her face by mine. “You lose again, Ivy! You can lie and cheat all that you want but the truth always comes out!”“Fuck you, Tiffany!”“So you lied to me, Ivy?” Theodore says. He devastated.“Think what you want!” I shove the paper back into his hand. “You always think the worst about me anyway, Theodore!”Ryder takes my arm. “We’re going.”He nearly drags me away while the people stare and shout rude things at me. Theodore, Tiffany and the Sterlings follow us to the car.“Leave and never come back here you lying bitch!” Ethan says. How did I ever think he was a father who loved me?Grace is crying. “Ivy, you truly are evil! Destroying such a beautiful day for my dear sweet daughter Tiffany.”“I did nothing!” I want to explain but then think —why should I? I owe the
