It was night when Alexander arrived at the police station."Mr Grayson." The man called but Alexander didn't wait for greetings."Ivy has been taken." He said and they looked at him."How sure are you?" The detective asked.Alexander felt they were wasting time but decided to explain nevertheless.He explained to the last detail."That's good news." He heard the Detective said and he immediately sat behind his system and began to click away."Why's that good news?" Alexander asked."Is her cellphone switched off? If you could remember clearly, when I suggested her as bait, I installed a tracker to her phone. And that means, if we can find Ivy's phone, we're finding Bethany, and the criminals." He said and Alexander felt a little joy."Okay, so I think her phone is still on, it's just unreachable." He said and tried the number again. "It's on." He said."Found it. They're in Woodburn county, somewhere in the woods." He said and stood up, taking his jacket. "You're all going with me, b
Alexander knew a bullet was definitely faster than his reaction but he decided he couldn't sit back and do nothing.He bent quickly and picked a large stone and hurled it as far as it could go.It shook the trees and she got distracted."Ivy leave! There's a bullet aimed at you. Detective! She's in the trees!!" He screamed both to Ivy and the police. Ivy turned back and screamed."Hands up!" The detectives shouted and Alexander saw her as she pulled the trigger angrily, but his shock that she could pull the trigger even while surrounded by the police took the better part of him and in seconds, he felt the horrible pain searing through his arm as he realized the trigger was meant for him.She fell from the tree and he fell to the ground due to the forceful impact.Bethany screamed and rushed to him."Oh My God. You're bleeding! Alexander you're bleeding. Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed as she cried, trying to stop the blood gushing out of his arm with her hands.She pulled off her cloth
Ivy was shocked when he asked her that question.Her mind raced with thoughts.Did he remember? Was he remembering bits of their time together? Why was he asking."In the past? We? Why do you ask?" She asked and he tried to sit. "No, no! You're not to stress your arm." She said and pressed a button to raise the bed into a comfortable sitting position."Thank you." He said and she tried to change the conversation."You're not to use your arm Mr Grayson. Using it can cause some problems for you. I heard from the doctor but you can choose to ask him later if you please." She said and he looked at his arm."I can't use it?" He asked and she swallowed."It needs to heal before you can start using it. Using it before it heals, can cause some serious problems, like a permanent damage." She explained and he sighed."I'll need an assistant." He said to himself then looked at Ivy. "I asked a question." He said and Ivy swallowed."I also asked you a question, why did you ask that question?" She
Ivy was shocked, and didn’t know what to say, regarding what he had asked. Then she chuckled, nervously.“Oh, I do not see the resemblance. I think you are a bit shaken, Mr. Grayson.” She said, trying to maintain her calm.Although, it was going to be her joy if he remembered her, and came back to her, but after going through a lot with him, and knowing Bethany more, she just didn’t know what exactly she wanted with him, anymore. “I just feel there is something about you that my subconscious is trying to tell me, but I can’t seem to fathom, what exactly. Are you certain that we haven’t met, before?” He asked, squinting his eyes, out of curiosity.~flashback~“I’m serious. There is nothing else you need to remember. We have told you everything you need to know, Alexander. I think you should just focus on important things for now, and gradually, you’ll start to regain your memories.” Ivy overheard Bethany.~back to reality~Ivy had found out in a while now that Alexander had actually l
“What else would seem fishy, if not for the fact that she feels insecure, with you, around her husband?” Ivy said, with a friendly scoff.“Ugh… I don’t know. But that’s unfair. Alexander asked if we had met before, and he asked why Liam looked so much like him, too. Just when he seems to be remembering me, a little, Bethany had to stand in the way.” Ivy said, bitterly.“Ivy, if he remembers you, what next?” Piper asked.“I…I…I…don’t know.”“To maintain balance, I do not think that is the best thing, right now. I think it’s just best you stay away from him. If Alexander remembers you, what do you expect him to do? Divorce Bethany? You will feel more like a mistress, actually, and be at the losing end.” Piper said as she touched her shoulder, lightly.Ivy felt the more heartbroken, hearing those words of cold truth, that she didn’t know when a tear dropped from her eyes. “It’s fine, Ivy. You will find a better man.” Piper tried to comfort her, while hugging her.“No, you don’t understa
The fear that sprang up in her, propelled her to walk thrice as fast. She didn't even dare look back, for the fear that she'd be shot.Her mind was a jumbled mess of thoughts as she fought the urge not to run.Then someone pulled her hand and when she was about to scream, a bloody hand covered her mouth making her nearly pass out.She was dragged to a dark corner. She struggled to free herself but the man was too strong. Then the man turned her to him and her eyes widened in relief as she discovered it was David.He slowly released his hold on her mouth and she saw he had been shot."David..." She whispered in shock and he put a hand on his lips.Blood poured down from Davids arm and she could see he was losing blood fast.He turned his head in different directions with his ears peeled out for any sound.After waiting for about fifteen minutes without hearing any sound that could mean danger, Ivy took out her phone and called the ambulance."How did this happen?" She asked but he sat
Ivy immediately freed herself from his grasp and nearly stumbled. Her face was hot and he was still staring at her. Why had he called her name like that. It had been unnerving."G...good morning Sir." She greeted and he raised a brow and put his hands in his pockets."And what are you doing here?" He asked and she cleared her throat as she tried to avoid his gaze."Miss Bethany asked to see me this morning." She said and he nodded slowly.She bowed and walked away.Wasn't he going to work? Why was he dressed casually? What was he doing, standing there.Ivy jumped and almost let out a little shout as someone brushed arms with her, it was Alexander and he looked at her with confusion in his eyes."Why are you so startled? What are you thinking about?" He asked and she looked away."No, I wasn't expecting you to... I thought you were standing there." She said and he scoffed."So, I can't go to my fiancee's house anytime I want?" He asked and she looked at him."I didn't mean it that way.
Alexander watched in shock as Ivy came in closer, trying to cover him as much as possible, the car hit into the sideway hard, but he didn't feel any pain or hit, because Ivy was blocking it all."Are you okay?" He asked as she straightened up and blew her hair out of her face.She looked at him with a pink face and nodded.It was so awkward for Ivy, she adjusted herself and fell back to her seat. Looking out the window."Are you okay?" The Butler asked the both of them, with worry in his eyes."Yes, I am." Alexander said, looking at Ivy."What about you Ma'am?" The Butler asked and Ivy looked at him."Y... Yes I am." She stuttered and avoided Alexander's gaze.Outside the streets, the car that had lost control of its brakes had gone past and it had hit a few cars but their car had been saved due to the butler's quick swerve."This is why cars should be serviced frequently." The Butler said in annoyance. "I'm so sorry for that, I'll get you to the office now." The Butler said and zoome
