Ivy screamed, but it seemed like people were not around there at that moment. She was lucky that she was able to run as fast as that even while in fear. As she looked back again to check how close the man was, she fell and the man caught up with her.“Please don’t hurt me. Please don’t.” She pleaded, hoping that he would decide to release her.But of course, he wouldn’t. It was a rare case for anyone who had it in mind to do what he wanted to do, to change his mind, so her plea, fell on deaf ears. Instead, the man knocked her out and dragged her away.~Piper on the other hand, was waiting for her as they had already agreed that Ivy would get the canned drinks.“Liam, your mom is being so sluggish, out there. Could it be she decided to chill out and then take an extra canned bottle to herself?” Piper said to Liam and Liam only watched Piper like he was amazed, then he laughed.Piper always liked it when Liam laughed as his laughter was angelic, and she knew that when he grew up, he wa
Ivy was shocked that Piper would actually do that.“You’re joking, right?” I chuckled awkwardly.“Of course. I am.” She laughed, hysterically.“Oh, come on. You almost got me.”“Wait. Do you think I would actually do that? You aren’t supposed to believe it, for a sec.” “Well, I trust you. But wait, until you become a mother.” I chuckled.“I see. You mothers tend to be easily frightened.” She said as she rolled her eyes.I went to check on my sweet baby. I had really missed him and he was on my mind, every second, when I was abducted. It felt so good to finally re-unite with him.“Well, I will leave mother and son to have their wonderful re union.”“Oh, look who is jealous, Liam.” Ivy giggled, referring to Piper who was about leaving.“Both mother and son, looks like you are ready to face my wrath.” Piper said as she pressed her knuckles, like she was about to war with them.Piper jumped on them, but made sure that she didn’t jump carelessly on little Liam. They had fun, until it was
Ivy and Alexander, were both shocked to see each other after months of separation. Then Bethany walked in, with a smile on her face.“Ivy, you are here.” She walked closer to her and held her hands.“I hope you didn’t have a hard time, locating this place?” She asked, with a slight smile.“No, I didn’t. It was quite easier than I thought.” She said, still trying to get over the fact that Alexander was standing, right in front of her.“I see. Oh, where are my manners? Baby, this is Ivy, who I told you about and Ivy? This is my fiancé.” Bethany introduced them to each other as she felt excited.~They were eating at the dining and their cutleries were making clanking sounds. Bethany decided to break the silence, since it felt too awkward.“So, Ivy will be working with me as an assistant chef. She is really good at what she does. You really need to taste how lovely her food is.” Bethany chuckled as she savored the taste of the food she was eating.“Wow. That’s…that’s nice.” Alexander man
Ivy sat in the passenger seat of Bethany's car, and in about thirty minutes, they had gotten to the city. Ivy could not help, marveling at the scenic route they were taking in the new city. The trees were a rich shade of green, and the roads were lined with stunning mansions and sprawling parks. It was a stark contrast from her old neighborhood, with its dilapidated buildings and litter-lined streets.As Bethany pulled into the parking lot of a towering hotel, Ivy gasped in awe. The building was massive, with sleek glass windows and a glittering façade that shimmered in the sunlight. She had never seen such a grand structure before, and she couldn't believe that they were going to be staying there.As they entered the hotel lobby, Ivy was struck by the sheer opulence of the place. The air was filled with the scent of fresh flowers, and the walls were bedecked with ornate paintings. The furniture was plush and luxurious, and the floors were polished to a high shine. Ivy felt out of pla
It was the D-day, and Bethany and her crew had gotten ready, very early. Bethany had informed them to come over to her house, to wait until she was fully ready. She had gone to get some things, before her employees got to her house.Meanwhile, Alexander was at her house, already as he wanted to wish her luck and congratulate her in advance. Then he saw Ivy and Bethany’s other employees, sitting comfortably in the sitting room. They all exchanged greetings with him and he could not get his eyes off Ivy.Ivy who didn’t understand why he kept looking at her, and was nervous already, needed a break from this. So, she excused herself and went to the guest toilet, which was in the guest room. Then she washed her face and looked into the mirror.“Get it together, ivy. Today is the day you need all your focus in one place and you have to win, as well.” She said to herself as she inhaled and exhaled.As she came out of the restroom, she was about to scream in fear as she never expected anyone
Ivy looked at her other contestants, the way they looked with confidence, she knew they were not small chefs, but she was determined to show her excellent skills. She had spent her free time practicing and perfecting her recipes, and finally, she had to present the result of all her practicing.After they were all introduced, they were given some time to arrange all their ingredients and put them in order and it was then Ivy discovered, her major ingredients were missing but she didn't let herself panic, she instead looked for ways to substitute for those meals, walking around the open kitchen to get her substitute ingredients.When she was sure she was ready, she prepared the utensils she knew she'd need and put them close to her.She looked at the people all watching. This was what she had been preparing for and it was finally time to get down to business. With a determined look on her face, she set to work on her first dish. She made spicy chicken curry with the traditional Indian
Ivy felt like her heart was going to erupt like a volcano as the man announced the winner.His words kept repeating in her ears."The B Palace."He had said and the joy she had felt was more than she could hold. Even with the fact that she wasn't able to finish the last dish, she had still ended up the winner.Where Bethany was, she clapped and smiled. Her restaurant had won and she had automatically upgraded the image of her restaurant. She knew more people would be flooding in to taste the food served there.She stood up as she heard her name being called and walked up with pride to stand next to Ivy and the girls. The medal was handed to Bethany and they took photos with the judges and the host of the show as the winners. Ivy couldn't explain the joy she felt as her hand was shaken from each direction. People smiled at her and appreciated her and the girls for their good work and it took a while before she could finally settle down and take out her phone. She had gotten a lot of mi
Ivy was devastated, seeing her son, in that state. It was a heartbreaking moment for her as she felt pity for him."How did this happen, Piper?" She asked Piper as she looked worried."I'm sorry, Ivy. I wasnt a good caretaker today. He slashed himself in his tummy, before I could get to him." Piper said, sadly, as a tear rolled down her cheek.Ivy could understand how Piper felt, so she wasnt angry at her."You have always been a good caretaker, Piper. I mean, you arent a caretaker. You are his aunt, and you are bound to make mistakes. Why? Because you are human." Ivy said, softly, as a tear rolled down her cheek, as well."We should just be glad that this mistake didnt cost him his life, okay?" Ivy said, trying to make Piper feel better."Thank you for understanding, Ivy.""Its fine. Afterall, our Liam is a strong boy." Ivy chuckled and Piper couldnt help but smile as well.They both looked at Liam, too and he laughed at their expression."So, we have two things to celebrate when we
