Just before the truck crushed him down in his car, he came back to his senses and drifted the car to another direction. His car spinned around, making screeching sounds, until he was able to get a firm hold on the steering wheel. Thankfully, his chest didn’t hit the steering wheel and he was fine.Alexander let out sharp gasps, and unlocked his seatbelt, then went out of his car, catching his breath. The shock he had experienced, caused his memories before he had an accident, a few years ago, to start flowing in.Alexander groaned as it was a painful process which accompanied the high-pitched sound he was hearing. He became weak and fell to the floor, still trying to get a hold of himself.“Arrgh!” He shouted in pain.Suddenly, he got the memory he was searching for, all along. He remembered the night he had sex with Ivy, in that hotel. The joy he felt and love that blossomed for her, that night. And then he remembered that he had flown to another country and when he came back, he cou
Just after Ivy took about a few steps away from Bethany’s restaurant, she got a beep and then she checked her phone. It was a text sent from Alexander.“I have been trying to reach you. Once you get this message, come over to the river bank by 7pm.”Her heart jumped in excitement and she looked around as it felt as if anyone who could inform Bethany was around her. She didn’t know what to expect, but she hoped to play this recorder to him, so he could see what a fox Bethany was.Ivy decided to head back to the hospital since she had gotten what she wanted, which was the truth, from Bethany, herself. While walking towards the main road, she thought about all she was going to do to make Alexander hear the recorder, in case he didn’t want to, and he only wanted to lash out at her, probably because Bethany must have cooked up another lie.“Ivy!” She heard someone call her name.It was then that Ivy realized that she had gotten to the main road and had been walking towards her way, home. S
Ivy mustered up her courage and walked towards Alexander.Silence reigned between them both, and Ivy found it hard to read his expression, so she decided to break the silence. She brought out her phone from her pockets and handed it over to him.“Here is my evidence.” “To hell with any evidence, Ivy.” Alexander replied, then hugged her tight.Ivy was surprised that Alexander was hugging her and she was left, wondering what in the world was going on.“Why did you keep mute? Why didn’t you tell me that we have met before?” Alexander questioned.“I…I…”“It’s fine. Now that I remember you, I will not let you go.” Alexander said, then he withdrew from her with his hands still holding her shoulders and locking eyes with her. “Do you know how I much I tried to find you even after I came back from seeing my mother who fell ill and had to do surgery?”Tears filled Ivy’s eyes and she could not say a word. Joy overflowed in her heart and all her grievances were washed away and this made her spe
Standing before Ivy was a large portrait of her. She didn't know how he got this picture, but she loved it and was touched by it."Do you love it?" "Of course, I do." Ivy smiled, still amused by the portrait. "But didn't Bethany ever catch a glimpse of it?" Ivy asked, out of curiosity."No. She never checked that part of my room." Alexander replied."Oh, I see. So, am I to take this home as a gift or is it yours?" "Well, if you want to take it, you can.""Whoa. Well, I think I'll prefer the portrait stays here." "So, I can look at your smile every day, right?" Alexander teased."No. I didn't mean it that way." Ivy giggled, covering her cheeks to prevent him from seeing how much she was blushing.Then Alexander grabbed her waist and looked into her eyes. They stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like minutes and slowly, Alexander began to lean in, closer to her until his lips met hers.Ivy closed her eyes and he saw it as a go ahead signal, so he kissed her intently and the
Ivy wondered if Bethany knew anything about her being in his house or if she got a whiff of her, being with Alexander. Although, with Alexander by her side, she felt confident like she had won the game, but she feared what Bethany was capable of.If she could ruin Piper's job and other opportunities, then she could do more. It meant that she needed something to tie Bethany down and that was certainly not going to be an easy task.Still, she didn't let the news weigh her down and was glad that Alexander had agreed to do the bone marrow test to be certain that his matches with Liam's bone marrow. That was Ivy's last bet and hope.Ivy put her phone back on the bedside table and went into the bathroom to wash herself. While in the bathroom, she thought about how her miserable life suddenly took a turn for the best. She had Piper to thank for pushing and encouraging her to inform Alexander about this.She had never imagined herself to have to fight to claim a man who was meant to be hers a
Ivy scoffed and sighed like she was tired of putting up with Bethany.“I see you have got some guts, uhn? Well, this would stop when I show you what I ought to show you.” Bethany said.Bethany’s workers were wondering why Ivy had been frequenting the restaurant just to talk to Bethany.“I wonder what Ivy has been up to since she has been coming here.” One of the workers blurted out.“Yeah, and it doesn’t look good either. I guess they probably had a clash which I do not want to know about. It’s best we just do our job the way we ought to and ensure we do not get on boss’ bad list.” The other advised.Ivy was waiting for Bethany to show her what she wanted her to see and she folded her arms while waiting. Bethany was checking through her phone and then in a few seconds, she stopped.“Yeah, found it. Now look at this.” She held her phone out to her.Ivy’s eyes widened as she saw the picture of both her and Alexander walking into the hospital. “How did… you get this?” Ivy threw a puzzle
"What!” Ivy exclaimed in shock.It felt as if her world was going down. Usually it was hard to find a donor. How was she going to find a donor in the space of how many days? Would Liam die? She couldn’t bear the thought of Liam, dying. She wasn’t going to be the same anymore, neither would she be able to live without him, even if Alexander was now there for her.Alexander and Liam’s attention were caught because of how she exclaimed. They threw puzzled looks at her and Piper sighed, looking downcast.“Mommy, what’s wrong? Are you hurt?” Liam asked, out of concern.Alexander walked up to her and put his arm around her shoulder.“Ivy, what’s wrong?”As ivy looked up at him, he noticed that tears were rolling down her chin and dripping on her clothes.“What’s wrong? Why are you crying? Come on. Liam shouldn’t see you crying.” Alexander expressed his concern.“Is it true?”“What exactly?” Ivy sniffed and tried to cry without Liam finding out that she was crying while Liam was trying to c
Alexander looked around for Ivy. He ran to the alley which was near the restaurant, but all he could see were dirt bags and cans, and then a man and a woman, making out.Then he went in a nearby public toilet and checked the female's toilet. There was only one lady there."Pervert!" She screamed and ran inside one of the toilets."I'm sorry. I'm searching for a lady." He apologized."Then go to the bar, you pervert?" She shouted."I'm not…"Alexander didn't bother to complete his words since he felt he was just wasting his time. He had something more important to do than trying to prove his innocence.He went out of the toilet and walked around the street, but didn't find her. So, he walked back to his car, with beads of sweat scattered on his forehead. He began to freak out, hoping nothing bad had happened to her, so he brought out his phone and dialed her number. Her phone rang, but there was no answer."Shit!" He cursed, then dialed her number again.Still, there was no answer fro
